Expression of the multidrug transporter MRP2 in the blood-brain barrier after pilocarpine-induced seizures in rats

Abstract

Multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs; symbol ABCC) are membrane glycoproteins that mediate the ATP-dependent export of a wide range of substrates from cells and thereby affect the bioavailability and disposition of many drugs. MRP2 (ABCC2) is expressed on the apical domain of hepatocytes, enterocytes of the proximal small intestine, and proximal renal tubular cells, but its location in the brain is a matter of debate. Most previous studies failed to determine MRP2 mRNA or protein in the brain or cell preparations from the brain of different species including humans. Based on our previous experience with the drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein, we evaluated whether the immunohistochemical determination of MRP2 expression is sensitive to fixation and staining variables. Furthermore, we examined whether the MRP2 protein is overexpressed after experimentally induced seizures in rats, using the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy. The MRP2 expression in the liver was used as positive control. MRP2 deficient TR- rats were used as negative controls. Despite various modifications in tissue fixation and immunohistochemical staining as well as use of different commercially available MRP2 antibodies, we never observed any unequi...Continue Reading

Blood-Brain Barrier Transport in Neurodegeneration

The blood brain barrier is important for regulating the movement of biomolecules in and out of the brain. For example, membrane transporters in the blood brain barrier can be essential for regulating drug movement and dysregulation of these processes may play a role in neurodegeneration. This feed follows the latest research on this topic.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations.
