Contribution of hepatic organic anion-transporting polypeptides to docetaxel uptake and clearance.

ABSTRACT: The antimicrotubular agent docetaxel is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of multiple solid tumors and is predominantly dependent on hepatic disposition. In this study, we evaluated drug uptake transporters capable of transporting radiolabeled docetaxel. By screening an array of drug uptake transporters in HeLa cells using a recombinant vaccinia-based method, five organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATP) capable of docetaxel uptake were identified: OATP1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP1C1, and Oatp1b2. Kinetic analysis of docetaxel transport revealed similar kinetic parameters among hepatic OATP1B/1b transporters. An assessment of polymorphisms (SNPs) in SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 revealed that a number of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 variants were associated with impaired docetaxel transport. A Transwell-based vectorial transport assay using MDCKII stable cells showed that docetaxel was transported significantly into the apical compartment of double-transfected (MDCKII-OATP1B1/MDR1 and MDCKII-OATP1B3/MDR1) cells compared with single-transfected (MDCKII-OATP1B1 and MDCKII-OATP1B3) cells (P < 0.05) or control (MDCKII-Co) cells (P < 0.001). In vivo docetaxel transport studies in Slco1b2(-/-) mice showed approximately >5.5-fold higher plasma concentrations (P < 0.01) and approximately 3-fold decreased liver-to-plasma ratio (P < 0.05) of docetaxel compared with wild-type (WT) mice. The plasma clearance of docetaxel in Slco1b2(-/-) mice was 83% lower than WT mice (P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study demonstrates the important roles of OATP1B transporters to the hepatic disposition and clearance of docetaxel, and supporting roles of these transporters for docetaxel pharmacokinetics.

Project description:Hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides-OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1-are expressed at the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes, being responsible for the uptake of a wide range of natural substrates and structurally unrelated pharmaceuticals. Impaired function of hepatic OATPs has been linked to clinically relevant drug-drug interactions leading to altered pharmacokinetics of administered drugs. Therefore, understanding the commonalities and differences across the three transporters represents useful knowledge to guide the drug discovery process at an early stage. Unfortunately, such efforts remain challenging because of the lack of experimentally resolved protein structures for any member of the OATP family. In this study, we established a rigorous computational protocol to generate and validate structural models for hepatic OATPs. The multistep procedure is based on the systematic exploration of available protein structures with shared protein folding using normal-mode analysis, the calculation of multiple template backbones from elastic network models, the utilization of multiple template conformations to generate OATP structural models with various degrees of conformational flexibility, and the prioritization of models on the basis of enrichment docking. We employed the resulting OATP models of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1 to elucidate binding modes of steroid analogs in the three transporters. Steroid conjugates have been recognized as endogenous substrates of these transporters. Thus, investigating this data set delivers insights into mechanisms of substrate recognition. In silico predictions were complemented with in vitro studies measuring the bioactivity of a compound set on OATP expressing cell lines. Important structural determinants conferring shared and distinct binding patterns of steroid analogs in the three transporters have been identified. Overall, this comparative study provides novel insights into hepatic OATP-ligand interactions and selectivity. Furthermore, the integrative computational workflow for structure-based modeling can be leveraged for other pharmaceutical targets of interest.
