Impaired Transport Activity of Human Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides (OATPs) by Wnt Inhibitors [PDF]
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is dysregulated in diseases and Wnt inhibitors like PRI-724 are in clinical development. This study evaluated the regulatory actions of PRI-724 and other Wnt inhibitors on the transport activity of human renal Organic anion transporters (OATs) and Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs).

Metabolic profiling of human plasma and urine in chronic kidney disease by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry : a pilot study [PDF]
A typical characteristic of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years with the concomitant accumulation of uremic retention solutes in the body.

Inhibition of the Hepatic Uptake of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin Using an Organic Cation Transporter Blocker
The accumulation of high levels of 99mTc-tetrofosmin (99mTc-TF) in the hepatobiliary system can lead to imaging artifacts and interference with diagnosis.

A combined clinical and biomarker approach to predict diuretic response in acute heart failure [PDF]
Background: Poor diuretic response in acute heart failure is related to poor clinical outcome. The underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology behind diuretic resistance are incompletely understood.

Interactions of Human- and Rat-Organic Anion Transporters With Pravastatin and Cimetidine
We have elucidated the interactions of human and rat organic anion transporters (hOATs and rOATs) with pravastatin and cimetidine. Pravastatin inhibited hOAT1/rOAT1, hOAT2/rOAT2, hOAT3/rOAT3, and hOAT4. The mode of inhibition was noncompetitive for hOAT1

Transcriptional regulation of the ABCC6 gene and the background of impaired function of missense disease-causing mutations. [PDF]
The human ATP-binding cassette family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene encodes an ABC transporter protein expressed primarily in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidneys and the intestines.

Molecular pharmacology of renal organic anion transporters [PDF]
Renal organic anion transport systems play an important role in the elimination of drugs, toxic compounds, and their metabolites, many of which are potentially harmful to the body. The renal proximal tubule is the primary site of carrier-mediated transport from blood to urine of a wide variety of anionic substrates.

Choroid plexus transport: gene deletion studies
This review examines the use of transporter knockout (KO) animals to evaluate transporter function at the choroid plexus (the blood-CSF barrier; BCSFB). Compared to the blood-brain barrier, there have been few such studies on choroid plexus (CP) function.

Active Hydrophilic Components of the Medicinal Herb Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) Potently Inhibit Organic Anion Transporters 1 (Slc22a6) and 3 (Slc22a8) [PDF]
Many active components of herbal products are small organic anions, and organic anion transporters were previously demonstrated to be a potential site of drug-drug interactions.

Na+-dependent and Na+-independent betaine transport across the apical membrane of rat renal epithelium [PDF]
The low renal excretion of betaine indicates that the kidney efficiently reabsorbs the betaine filtered by the glomeruli but the mechanisms involved in such a process have been scarcely investigated.
