Abstract
The mouse ortholog of the human bile salt export pump (BSEP) transporter was expressed in a baculovirus-infected insect cell (Sf9) system to study the effect of membrane cholesterol content on the transporter function. The transport activity of cholesterol-loaded mouse Bsep-HAM-Sf9 vesicles was determined in a vesicular transport assay with taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC), a known BSEP substrate. Mouse Bsep transports TCDC at a high rate that can be sensitively detected in the ATPase assay. Cholesterol upload of the Sf9 membrane potentiates both TCDC transport and TCDC-stimulated ATPase activities. Inhibitory effect of BSEP interactors on probe substrate transport was tested in both vesicular transport and ATPase assays using cholesterol-loaded membrane vesicles. A good rank order correlation was found between IC(50) values measured in TCDC-stimulated mBsep ATPase assay and in the human BSEP vesicular transport assay utilizing taurocholate (TC) as probe substrate. This upgraded form of the mouse Bsep-HAM ATPase assay is a user friendly, sensitive, nonradioactive method for early high-throughput screening of drugs with BSEP-related cholestatic potential. It may complement the human BSEP-mediated taurocholate vesicular transport inhibition assay.
期刊介绍:
Advancing the Science of Drug Discovery: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
