A Novel Human Hepatic Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide (OATP2)

Abstract: A novel human organic transporter, OATP2, has been identified that transports taurocholic acid, the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and thyroid hormone, as well as the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor, pravastatin. OATP2 is expressed exclusively in liver in contrast to all other known transporter subtypes that are found in both hepatic and nonhepatic tissues. OATP2 is considerably diverged from other family members, sharing only 42% sequence identity with the four other subtypes. … Show more

“…They confirm previous studies that demonstrated complete protection of lethal intoxications in mice by the known OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 substrate rifampin (Hermansky et al, 1991;Vavricka et al, 2002). Therefore, one can speculate that any drug with reasonable high affinity for OATP, for example, statins (Hsiang et al, 1999), could prevent lowdose microcystin intoxication, provided it is given simultaneously with or shortly after the intoxication.…”

“…It has previously been shown that hepatocellular uptake of microcystins is inhibited by bile salts and BSP Runnegar et al, 1995), suggesting that Oatps/OATPs could be involved in microcystin transport. Furthermore, several Oatps/OATPs that are expressed at the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes (Abe et al, 1999(Abe et al, , 2001Cattori et al, 2000;Hsiang et al, 1999;König et al, 2000aKönig et al, , 2000b are able to transport cyclic peptides such as the endothelin antagonist BQ-123, the opioid peptide [d-penicillamin 2,5] enkephalin, and the mushroom toxin phalloidin (Meier-Abt et al, 2004). Therefore, we tested these hepatic Oatps/OATPs in the X. laevis oocyte expression system and could demonstrate that rat Oatp1b2, human OATP1B1, and human OATP1B3 indeed mediate uptake of radiolabeled microcystin-LR (Fig.…”

“…Human organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), transporter of pravastatin, is expressed on the basolateral membrane in the hepatocytes responsible for the hepatocellular uptake of pravastatin (Hsiang et al 1999). The major site of cholesterol synthesis, the liver, is the main target organ of statins.…”

“…12) Oatp2, exclusively expressed in the liver, has been identified to transport taurocholic acid, pravastatin and fluorescein-methotrexate. 13,14) We previously reported that MTX treatment downregulated the expression levels of Mrp2, Oat1 and Oat3 in rats. 15) Alterations in Mrp2 expression and/or function could have a variety of clinically important effects.…”
