Expression and transcriptional regulation of ABC transporters and cytochromes P450 in hCMEC/D3 human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells

Abstract: We investigated the expression of genes encoding ABC transporters, cytochromes P450 (CYPs) and some transcription factors in the hCMEC/D3 immortalized human cerebral microvascular endothelial cell line, a promising in vitro model of the human BBB, and we compared these expressions to a non-brain endothelial cell line (HUVEC) and freshly human brain microvessels. qRT-PCR showed that the MDR1, BCRP, MRP1, MRP3, MRP4 and MRP5 genes were expressed and that the main CYP gene was CYP2U1 in hCMEC/D3. The pattern of A… Show more

“…This protein is encoded by the multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) and its functional complex is not only modified by internal factors but also environmental clues such as the presence of toxins. 30 Receptor mediated transport processes additionally occur at the BBB as mechanism regulating the crossing of endogenous substances. These peptide receptors may mediate processes such as transcytosis of ligands from blood to brain or from brain to blood, or only uptake into the brain capillary endothelium without further export into the brain parenchyma.…”

“…The cell line is used as an in vitro model to investigate the function and their modulation in human BBB by many laboratories (68)(69)(70)(71). A series of investigations demonstrated that the expression pattern of ATP-binding cassette transporter messenger RNAs in hCMEC/D3 cells is, at least qualitatively, similar to that of human brain microvessels (72,73). To understand the suitability and limitations of the hCMEC/D3 cell line being a BBB functional model, Ohtsuki et al (74) applied quantitative targeted proteomics to determine the protein expression levels of multiple transporters, receptors, and junction proteins in hCMEC/D3 cells and compared the results with isolated human brain microvessels.…”

“…Evidences support the presence of CYPs in the human and rodent brain [29][30][31]: brain expression of CYP1A1, 1B1, Phase II epoxide hydrolase and UDPglucoronosyltransferase was confirmed using rodent models and human brain tissue. Finally, the expression of CYPs enzymes was demonstrated in an immortalized brain endothelial cell line [32,33]. Table 1 summarizes the patterns of expression of Phase I and II metabolic enzymes in the brain.…”
