Cells were grown on Transwell Nephrotoxicity filter inserts to maintain epithelial polarity and access to either the apical or basolateral plasma membrane. The Human proximal tubular cells function of relevant membrane transporters, organic anion transporter 1 and 3 (OAT1/3), P-glycoprotein Biomarkers (multidrug resistance protein-1; P-gp or MDR1), and organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), was validated by Membrane transport measurements of apical-to-basolateral and basolateral-to-apical fluxes of furosemide, digoxin, and metformin, respectively. Acute cytotoxicity of cidofovir (0, 10, 50, 150, or 300 μM) in the absence or presence of 500 μM probenecid, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (0, 20, 90, 180, or 360 μM) in the absence or presence of 500 μM probenecid, or cisplatin (0, 20, 90, 180, or 360 μM) as a positive control in the absence or presence of 500 μM cimetidine, was assessed after 4-h incubations by determinations of release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), γ- glutamyltransferase (GGT), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), or Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1). Cell death generally agreed with each of the four biomarkers, was generally greater when cidofovir or tenofovir was added to the upper compartment, and was markedly diminished in the presence of the appropriate transport inhibitor. Additionally, the extent of cytotoxicity caused by the two antiviral drugs was similar to that caused by cisplatin. The results demonstrate the importance of plasma membrane transport of antiviral drugs to elicit cytotoxicity in the hPT cell. 1. Introduction laboratory animals (Lacy et al., 1998) and humans (Lalezari et al., 1995) showed protection with probenecid. In fact, co-administration Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs have become key therapeutics against with probenecid and intravenous saline hydration became the normal such infectious agents as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepa- treatment protocol (Lea and Bryson, 1996). An advantage over pre- titis B, cytomegalovirus, and other herpes viruses. As with many che- viously developed ARVs was that cidofovir does not require viral acti- motherapeutics, however, their clinical use is often limited by non- vation (Lalezari, 1997), but is activated by phosphorylation by cellular target organ toxicities. Two of the most important ARVs are cidofovir enzymes to inhibit viral DNA polymerase (Lea and Bryson, 1996). Ci- and tenofovir. dofovir also has efficacy against a broad range of viruses, including Cidofovir was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration refractory and premalignant human papillomavirus (Coremans and in 1996 as an antiviral nucleoside analogue with potent activity against Snoeck, 2009).
