Abstract Background A principal protective component of the mammalian blood–brain barrier (BBB) is high expression multidrug efflux transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded by ABCB1 ) and ABCG2 (encoded on lumenal surface endothelial cells. The zebrafish P-gp homolog Abcb4 expressed at BBB phenocopies human P-gp. Comparatively little known about four homologs gene: abcg2a , abcg2b abcg2c abcg2d . Here we report functional characterization brain tissue distribution homologs. Methods To...

Aim: Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of cell death caused by lethal lipid peroxidation. Several small molecule ferroptosis inducers (FINs) have been reported, yet little information available regarding their interaction with the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and ABCG2. We thus sought to characterize interactions FINs P-gp ABCG2, which may provide oral bioavailability brain penetration predict drug-drug interactions. Methods: Cytotoxicity assays...

Abstract In malignant glioma, cytotoxic drugs are often inhibited from accessing the tumor site due to blood-tumor barrier (BTB). Ibrutinib, FDA-approved lymphoma agent, inhibits Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and has previously been shown independently impair aortic endothelial adhesion increase rodent glioma model survival in combination with therapy. Yet additional research is required understand ibrutinib’s effect on BTB function. this study, we detail baseline BTK expression cells its...

Abstract Purpose: PAX-fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN RMS) is driven by alterations in the RAS/MAP kinase pathway and partially responsive to MEK inhibition. Overexpression of IGF1R its ligands also observed FN RMS. Preclinical clinical studies have suggested that itself an important target Our previous revealed preclinical efficacy MEK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib, BMS-754807, but this combination was not pursued clinically due intolerability murine models. Here, we sought identify a...

Abstract Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are part of a growing class epigenetic therapies used for the treatment cancer. Although HDACis effective in T-cell lymphomas, solid tumors with this drugs has not been successful. Overexpression multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by ABCB1, is known to confer HDACi romidepsin vitro, yet increased ABCB1 expression associated patients, suggesting that other mechanisms arise clinic. To identify alternative romidepsin, we...

Ferroptosis is a form of cell death caused by direct or indirect inhibition glutathione peroxidase 4 that leads to lethal lipid peroxidation. Several small molecule ferroptosis inducers (FINs) have been reported, yet little information available regarding resistance mechanisms, particularly their interaction with the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and ABCG2. Given role ABC play in absorption, distribution, excretion many drugs, characterizing these...

ABSTRACT Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are part of a growing class epigenetic therapies used for the treatment cancer. While elevated levels efflux pump P-gp associated with in vitro resistance to romidepsin, this mechanism does not translate clinic. We developed romidepsin-resistant cell line independent function that acts upstream deacetylation process. found expression methyltransferase METTL7A is necessary resistance, and naïve cells can drive thiol-containing HDACis....
