Contribution of Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT2) to Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity [PDF]
Cisplatin is one of the most widely used anticancer agents for the treatment of solid tumors. The clinical use of cisplatin is associated with dose-limiting nephrotoxicity, which occurs in one-third of patients despite intensive prophylactic measures. Organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) has been implicated in the cellular uptake of cisplatin, but its ...

The Effect of Uremic Solutes on the Organic Cation Transporter 2 [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by the accumulation of uremic solutes; however, little is known about how these solutes affect drug absorption and disposition. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of uremic solutes on the organic cation transporter, OCT2, which plays a key role in the renal secretion of many basic drugs.

Variants in pharmacokinetic transporters and glycemic response to metformin:A metgen meta-analysis [PDF]
Therapeutic response to metformin, a first-line drug for type 2 diabetes (T2D), is highly variable, in part likely due to genetic factors. To date, metformin pharmacogenetic studies have mainly focused on the impact of variants in metformin transporter ...

Organic Cation Transporter 3: A Cellular Mechanism Underlying Rapid, Non-Genomic Glucocorticoid Regulation of Monoaminergic Neurotransmission, Physiology, and Behavior [PDF]
Corticosteroid hormones act at intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) to alter gene expression, leading to diverse physiological and behavioral responses.

Functional Involvement of the Organic Cation Transporter 2 (rOct2) in the Renal Uptake of Organic Cations in Rats [PDF]
This study examined the contribution made by organic cation transporters (hOCT/rOct) to the saturable component of the renal uptake of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, tetraethylammonium (TEA), cimetidine and metformin into rOct2-expressing HEK293 cells and rat kidney slices.

Interactions of organophosphate flame retardants with human drug transporters
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are environmental pollutants of increasing interest, widely distributed in the environment and exerting possible deleterious effects towards the human health. The present study investigates in vitro their possible

Novel conditionally immortalized human proximal tubule cell line expressing functional influx and efflux transporters [PDF]
Reabsorption of filtered solutes from the glomerular filtrate and excretion of waste products and xenobiotics are the main functions of the renal proximal tubular (PT) epithelium.

Protein sequence alignments revealed one amino acid position, where organic cation transporters (OCTs, aspartate (D) at position 475 of rOCT2) and organic anion transporters (OATs, arginine (R) at position 466 of rOAT1) are charged oppositely. To address the impact of this amino acid for protein function we cloned rat organic cation transporter 2 ...

Colistin is Substrate of the Carnitine/Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCTN2, SLC22A5) [PDF]
Colistin is a polycation antibiotic used for the treatment of multidrug-resistance (MDR) gram-negative infections; nevertheless, its use is often limited by the high incidence of renal damage. The mechanism underlying colistin-induced nephrotoxicity is not known, but perhaps related to its accumulation in the renal cortex upon extensive reabsorption ...
