ABC- and SLC-Transporters in Murine and Bovine Mammary Epithelium--Effects of Prochloraz.

ABSTRACT: Some chemicals are ligands to efflux transporters which may result in high concentrations in milk. Limited knowledge is available on the influence of maternal exposure to chemicals on the expression and function of transporters in the lactating mammary gland. We determined gene expression of ABC and SLC transporters in murine mammary tissue of different gestation and lactation stages, in murine mammary cells (HC11) featuring resting and secreting phenotypes and in bovine mammary tissue and cells (BME-UV). Effects on transporter expression and function of the imidazole fungicide prochloraz, previously reported to influence BCRP in mammary cells, was investigated on transporter expression and function in the two cell lines. Transporters studied were BCRP, MDR1, MRP1, OATP1A5/OATP1A2, OCTN1 and OCT1. Gene expressions of BCRP and OCT1 in murine mammary glands were increased during gestation and lactation, whereas MDR1, MRP1, OATP1A5 and OCTN1 were decreased, compared to expressions in virgins. All transporters measured in mammary glands of mice were detected in bovine mammary tissue and in HC11 cells, while only MDR1 and MRP1 were detected in BME-UV cells. Prochloraz treatment induced MDR1 gene and protein expression in both differentiated HC11 and BME-UV cells and increased protein function in HC11 cells, resulting in decreased accumulation of the MDR1 substrate digoxin. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that murine (HC11) and bovine (BME-UV) mammary epithelial cells can be applied to characterize expression and function of transporters as well as effects of contaminants on the mammary transporters. An altered expression, induced by a drug or toxic chemical, on any of the transporters expressed in the mammary epithelial cells during lactation may modulate the well-balanced composition of nutrients and/or secretion of contaminants in milk with potential adverse effects on breast-fed infants and dairy consumers.

Project description:The low permeability and high selectivity of the blood vessels of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) characterize the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Tight junctions, a lack of fenestrations, and low rates of transcytosis in the endothelial cells of the vasculature prevent passive diffusion of most molecules other than water, gases and some lipid soluble molecules (Obermeier, Daneman, & Ransohoff, 2013). Any additional nutrients must be transported across the barrier with the help of transporter proteins. Two protein families account for most transporters. ABC transporters use ATP to power primary-active transport to move molecules across the BBB against an electrochemical gradient, frequently excluding drugs from entering the brain. Some SLC transporters facilitate transport of solutes along an electrochemical gradient, while others permit secondary-active transport by coupling the flow of a solute traveling down the electrochemical gradient to power another solute against its electrochemical gradient. Brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMEC) from human cerebral cortex were enriched through a homogenization and centrifugation procedure. Two BMEC and two tissue were sequenced with paired-end reads on a SOLiD 5500 Wildfire. Raw data was aligned using LifeScope Genomic Analysis, gene expression determined through Cufflinks, and splice junctions identified by aligning to a custom database of known to known and known to novel junctions. We found numerous examples of transporters with enriched expression in the isolated BMECs compared to whole brain tissue. In total, 131 transporter genes or pseudogenes (109 SLC, 22 ABC) are enriched at least 1.25 fold in BMEC enriched samples, and 57 of these are enriched over 2-fold (50 SLC, 7 ABC). Thirteen genes were found to have at least twice as many counts in BMEC enriched samples than in whole tissue for at least one alternative splice junction. Inversely, 23 genes were found to have at least one alternative splice junction with half as many counts in BMEC enriched samples than in whole tissue.
