Interaction Between Sex and Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide 1b2 on the Pharmacokinetics of Regorafenib and Its Metabolites Regorafenib-N-Oxide and Regorafenib-Glucuronide in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor used in the treatment of various solid tumors, undergoes extensive uridine 5'-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (Ugt)1a9-mediated glucuronidation to form regorafenib-N-?-glucuronide (M7; RG), but the contribution of hepatic uptake transporters, such as organic anion-transporting polypeptide (Oatp)1b2, to the pharmacokinetics of regorafenib remains poorly understood. Using NONMEM-based, population-based, parent-metabolite modeling, we found that Oatp1b2 and sex strongly impact the systemic exposure to RG in mice receiving oral regorafenib. Metabolic studies revealed that the liver microsomal expression of cytochrome P450 (Cyp)3a11 is twofold lower in female mice, whereas Ugt1a9 levels and function are not sex dependent. This finding is consistent with the metabolism of regorafenib occurring via two competing pathways, and the lack of Oatp1b2 results in decreased clearance of RG. The described model provides mechanistic insights into the in vivo disposition of regorafenib.

Regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor used in the treatment of various solid tumors, undergoes extensive uridine 5'-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (Ugt)1a9-mediated glucuronidation to form regorafenib-N-β-glucuronide (M7; RG), but the contribution of hepatic uptake transporters, such as organic anion-transporting polypeptide (Oatp)1b2, to the pharmacokinetics of regorafenib remains poorly understood. Using NONMEM-based, population-based, parent-metabolite modeling, we found that Oatp1b2 and ...[more]

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Recent innovations in biology are boosting gene and cell therapy, but monitoring the response to these treatments is difficult. The purpose of this study was to find an MRI-reporter gene that can be used to monitor gene or cell therapy and that can be delivered without a viral vector, as viral vector delivery methods can result in long-term complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS:CMV promoter-human organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (CMV-hOATP1B3) cDNA or CMV-blank DNA (control) was transfected into HEK293 cells using Lipofectamine. OATP1B3 expression was confirmed by western blotting and confocal microscopy. In vitro cell phantoms were made using transfected HEK293 cells cultured in various concentrations of gadoxetic acid for 24 hours, and images of the phantoms were made with a 9.4T micro-MRI. In vivo xenograft tumors were made by implanting HEK293 cells transfected with CMV-hOATP1B3 (n = 4) or CMV-blank (n = 4) in 8-week-old male nude mice, and MRI was performed before and after intravenous injection of gadoxetic acid (1.2 ?L/g). RESULTS:Western blot and confocal microscopy after immunofluorescence staining revealed that only CMV-hOATP1B3-transfected HEK293 cells produced abundant OATP1B3, which localized at the cell membrane. OATP1B3 expression levels remained high through the 25th subculture cycle, but decreased substantially by the 50th subculture cycle. MRI of cell phantoms showed that only the CMV-hOATP1B3-transfected cells produced a significant contrast enhancement effect. In vivo MRI of xenograft tumors revealed that only CMV-hOATP1B3-transfected HEK293 tumors demonstrated a T1 contrast effect, which lasted for at least 5 hours. CONCLUSION:The human endogenous OATP1B3 gene can be non-virally delivered into cells to induce transient OATP1B3 expression, leading to gadoxetic acid-mediated enhancement on MRI. These results indicate that hOATP1B3 can serve as an MRI-reporter gene while minimizing the risk of long-term complications.

Project description:ObjectiveTo detect the expression level of organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine the relationship between OATP1B3 expression, clinicopathological features, and prognosis.MethodsImmunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to detect the expression of OATP1B3 in 131 HCC specimens and in 89 adjacent nontumorous tissues. Moreover, the expression levels of OATP1B3 in 30 pairs of tumor and matched adjacent nontumorous tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and 34 pairs of tumor and matched adjacent nontumorous tissues were detected by Western blotting. The χ2 test was applied to analyze the correlation between OATP1B3 expression and the clinical parameters of HCC patients. The prognostic value of OATP1B3 in HCC patients was estimated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox stepwise proportional hazards model.ResultsCompared with that in adjacent nontumorous tissues (25.8%, 23/89), OATP1B3 expression was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues (59.5%, 78/131) (P < 0.0001). Moreover, OATP1B3 expression was markedly correlated with tumor size, recurrence, tumor differentiation, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage (P < 0.05 for each). However, age, sex, tumor capsule status, HBsAg, cirrhosis, tumor number, vascular invasion, and serum alpha fetoprotein were not associated with OATP1B3 expression. The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of HCC patients who had high expression of OATP1B3 were significantly longer than those of patients with low expression (33.0% vs 12.9%, P = 0.001; 18.8% vs 5.3%, P < 0.0001). Cox multivariate analysis showed that OATP1B3, invasion, and TNM stage (P < 0.05 for each) were independent prognostic factors of OS in HCC patients and that OATP1B3 and TNM stage (both P < 0.05) were independent prognostic factors of DFS in HCC patients.ConclusionsThe expression of OATP1B3 in HCC patients was significantly lower than that in adjacent nontumorous tissues. OATP1B3 expression may be a potential prognostic marker in HCC patients.
