Disruption of drug transporter functions leads to changes in the pharmacokinetics and, as a result, possibly to impact efficacy and toxicity profiles. Hence, regulatory agencies such as US FDA or European Medicines Agency (EMEA) provide guidelines to characterize transporter drug interactions. In vitro transporter assays are usually carried out with either intact cells or cell fractions over expressing transporter proteins. Although an increasing number of experimental methods and models are developed to study drug-transporter interactions and the tools appear to be useful to address transporter-related questions, it still remains challenge to translate results from in vitro transporter models to the human situation. The method selected is based on the physicochemical features of a drug, as well as the specific question one would like to address. The short course presentation will introduce the in vitro tools that are commonly used for transporter characterization, and describe the pros and cons of the tools for characterizing transporter interactions. SC1.2 - ANIMAL MODELS FOR DRUG TRANSPORTERS Daniel Bow AbbVie In addition to the use of in vitro tools to study drug transport, animal models can also be used to facilitate our understanding of the role uptake and efflux drug transporters play in compound disposition and elimination. These models can be used at various stages in drug discovery and development. The application, timing, and translation of data generated from multiple models will be discussed. Models that will be covered include transporter knockout animals, humanized transporter models, and the use of chemical inhibition studies. Daniel Bow is an employee of AbbVie. The design, study conduct, and financial support for this research was provided by AbbVie. AbbVie participated in the interpretation of data, review, and approval of the publication. SC1.3 - PET IMAGING TO UNDERSTAND HEPATOBILIARY TRANSPORTERS Yuichi Sugiyama Sugiyama Laboratory, RIKEN Innovation Center, RIKEN Research Cluster for Innovation, RIKEN The changes in pharmacokinetics due to genetic polymorphisms and drug-drug interactions involving transporters can often have an adverse effect on the therapeutic safety and efficacy of many drugs. For drugs, the target molecule of which is inside the cells, the efflux transporter is the determinant for their pharmacological effect or adverse reactions even though it had negligible impact in the plasma concentrations. Because of difficulty in quantitative evaluation of the subsequent efflux process (both basolateral and apical side), the transporters playing key roles in the efflux process remains unclear in humans. Development of probe substrates applicable to the PET imaging will elucidate the quantitative relationship between the transport activities and drug response. Labeled PET probes are being developed for specific transporters. Here in this presentation, I will show you our recent progress in the use of the analysis of plasma clearance of drugs and PET imaging to evaluate the transporter function in vivo including PET probes for hepatic uptake transporters (OATP1B1, OATP1B3) and biliary excretion transporters (MRP2, BCRP)) both in experimental animals and in human. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Drs. Y.Watanabe, K.Maeda and H.Kusuhara for their great contribution to these PET studies. References: 1.

Zamek-Gliszczynski, GlaxoSmithKline This presentation will highlight the state-of-the-art in transporter clinical probes based on upcoming 2018 ITC whitepapers (Clin Pharmacol Ther 104, November 2018). Special emphasis will be placed on emerging transporters of clinical relevance and transporters with recent advances in their clinical evaluation approaches. For example, OCT1 was shown recently to be the rate-determining step in the clearance of several drugs in humans (e.g., sumatriptan, ondansetron, tropisetron, fenoterol, etc.), and thereby a mechanism of pharmacogenetic variability and DDIs. OCT1 modulation impacts metformin response, but not pharmacokinetics, and therefore OCT1 inhibition is a driver for the conduct of a metformin DDI study, but metformin is not a preferred clinical OCT1 probe drug. Similarly, P-gp inhibition can trigger a digoxin safety study, but digoxin is neither a specific nor sensitive P-gp probe. Dabigatran etexilate has been proposed as a specific intestinal P-gp probe, and is particularly sensitive when administered as a microdose. Clinical investigation of BCRP DDIs has been controversial in part due to a lack of consensus on clinical probes and inhibitors, which has now been reached. Oral sulfasalazine (immediate release) is the best available clinical probe for intestinal BCRP, oral rosuvastatin for both intestinal and hepatic BCRP, and intravenous rosuvastatin for hepatic BCRP. Ultimately, selection of clinical probes depends on co-medication relevance and the specific questions being addressed (e.g. direct characterization

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

However, current knowledge on the exact mechanisms of aging and how CR exerts its anti-aging effects is still inadequate. The detoxification theory of aging proposes that the up-regulation of xenobiotic processing genes (XPGs) involved in phase-I and phase-II xenobiotic metabolism as well as transport, which renders a wide spectrum of detoxification, is a longevity mechanism. Interestingly, bile acids (BAs), the metabolites of cholesterol, have recently been connected with longevity. Thus, this dissertation aimed to determine the regulation of xenobiotic and BA metabolism by the well-known anti-aging intervention CR. First, the mRNA expression of XPGs in liver during aging was investigated.

    Validation of an In Vitro Mutagenicity Assay Based on Pulmonary Epithelial Cells from the Transgenic MutaMouse: Intra-Laboratory Variability and Metabolic Competence By: Joleen Hanna, B.Sc. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Biology Specializing in Chemical and Environmental Toxicology Supervisor: Dr. Paul White (University of Ottawa) Thesis Advisory Committee: Dr. Frances Pick (University of Ottawa) Dr. Iain Lambert (Carleton University) University of Ottawa Ontario, Canada March 2018 © Joleen Hanna, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 Abstract: Genetic toxicity tests used for regulatory screening must be rigorously validated to ensure accuracy, reliability and relevance. Hence, prior to establishment of an internationally- accepted test guideline, a new assay must undergo multi-stage validation. An in vitro transgene mutagenicity assay based on an immortalized cell line derived from MutaMouse lung (i.e., FE1 cells) is currently undergoing formal validation. FE1 cells retain a lacZ transgene in a λgt10 shuttle vector that can be retrieved for scoring of chemically-induced mutations. This work contributes to validation of the in vitro transgene (lacZ) mutagenicity assay in MutaMouse FE1 cells. More specifically, the work includes an intra-laboratory variability study, and a follow-up study to assess the endogenous metabolic capacity of FE1 cells. The former is essential to determine assay reliability, the latter to define the range of chemicals that can be reliably screened without an exogenous metabolic activation mixture (i.e., rat liver S9). The intra- laboratory variability assessment revealed minimal variability; thus, assay reproducibility can be deemed acceptable. Assessment of metabolic capacity involved exposure of FE1 cells to 5 known mutagens, and subsequent assessment of changes in the expression of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism; induced transgene mutant frequency (±S9) was assessed in parallel.

This phenomenon is termed APAP autoprotection and the exact mechanism by which such resistance develops is not clearly known. Given the prevalence of APAP- hepatotoxicity and the human health impact of this potentially hepatotoxic agent, a further understanding of the mechanism(s) involved in such protection are of considerable significance and could lead to new modalities of treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury. The work presented in this thesis investigates FMO3 gene expression during APAP-induced liver injury as well as the functional significance of FMO3 over-expression during APAP- induced liver injury. Furthermore, FMO3 gene regulation during oxidative stress conditions is also examined. Acetaminophen treatment resulted in up-regulation of liver Fmo3 protein in male mice. Female mice express higher liver Fmo3 than males and are highly resistant to APAP hepatotoxicity.

  • Consequences of Exchanging Carbohydrates for Proteins in the Cholesterol Metabolism of Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
    Consequences of Exchanging Carbohydrates for Proteins in the Cholesterol Metabolism of Mice Fed a High-fat Diet Fre´de´ ric Raymond1.¤a, Long Wang2., Mireille Moser1, Sylviane Metairon1¤a, Robert Mansourian1, Marie- Camille Zwahlen1, Martin Kussmann3,4,5, Andreas Fuerholz1, Katherine Mace´ 6, Chieh Jason Chou6*¤b 1 Bioanalytical Science Department, Nestle´ Research Center, Lausanne, Switzerland, 2 Department of Nutrition Science and Dietetics, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, United States of America, 3 Proteomics and Metabonomics Core, Nestle´ Institute of Health Sciences, Lausanne, Switzerland, 4 Faculty of Science, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark, 5 Faculty of Life Sciences, Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland, 6 Nutrition and Health Department, Nestle´ Research Center, Lausanne, Switzerland Abstract Consumption of low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diets lead to rapid weight loss but the cardioprotective effects of these diets have been questioned. We examined the impact of high-protein and high-fat diets on cholesterol metabolism by comparing the plasma cholesterol and the expression of cholesterol biosynthesis genes in the liver of mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet that has a high (H) or a low (L) protein-to-carbohydrate (P/C) ratio. H-P/C-HF feeding, compared with L-P/C-HF feeding, decreased plasma total cholesterol and increased HDL cholesterol concentrations at 4-wk. Interestingly, the expression of genes involved in hepatic steroid biosynthesis responded to an increased dietary P/C ratio by first down- regulation (2-d) followed by later up-regulation at 4-wk, and the temporal gene expression patterns were connected to the putative activity of SREBF1 and 2.

  • Folliculin Regulates Mtorc1/2 and WNT Pathways in Early Human Pluripotency

Ware2,3, P.J. Paddison2,4 & H. Ruohola-Baker 1,2 To reveal how cells exit human pluripotency, we designed a CRISPR-Cas9 screen exploiting 1234567890():,; the metabolic and epigenetic differences between naïve and primed pluripotent cells. We identify the tumor suppressor, Folliculin(FLCN) as a critical gene required for the exit from human pluripotency. Here we show that FLCN Knock-out (KO) hESCs maintain the naïve pluripotent state but cannot exit the state since the critical transcription factor TFE3 remains active in the nucleus. TFE3 targets up-regulated in FLCN KO exit assay are members of Wnt pathway and ESRRB. Treatment of FLCN KO hESC with a Wnt inhibitor, but not ESRRB/FLCN double mutant, rescues the cells, allowing the exit from the naïve state. Using co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis we identify unique FLCN binding partners. The interactions of FLCN with components of the mTOR pathway (mTORC1 and mTORC2) reveal a mechanism of FLCN function during exit from naïve pluripotency. 1 Department of Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA. 2 Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98109, USA.

  • Comparative Gene Expression Analysis to Identify Common Factors in Multiple Cancers
    COMPARATIVE GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY COMMON FACTORS IN MULTIPLE CANCERS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Leszek A. Rybaczyk, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Kun Huang, Adviser Professor Jeffery Kuret Approved by Professor Randy Nelson Professor Daniel Janies ------------------------------------------- Adviser Integrated Biomedical Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT Most current cancer research is focused on tissue-specific genetic mutations. Familial inheritance (e.g., APC in colon cancer), genetic mutation (e.g., p53), and overexpression of growth receptors (e.g., Her2-neu in breast cancer) can potentially lead to aberrant replication of a cell. Studies of these changes provide tremendous information about tissue-specific effects but are less informative about common changes that occur in multiple tissues. The similarity in the behavior of cancers from different organ systems and species suggests that a pervasive mechanism drives carcinogenesis, regardless of the specific tissue or species. In order to detect this mechanism, I applied three tiers of analysis at different levels: hypothesis testing on individual pathways to identify significant expression changes within each dataset, intersection of results between different datasets to find common themes across experiments, and Pearson correlations between individual genes to identify correlated genes within each dataset. By comparing a variety of cancers from different tissues and species, I was able to separate tissue and species specific effects from cancer specific effects. I found that downregulation of Monoamine Oxidase A is an indicator of this pervasive mechanism and can potentially be used to detect pathways and functions related to the initiation, promotion, and progression of cancer.
