模拟微重力效应下BCRP外排功能机制研究及调控

Regulatory Mechanisms of BCRP Efflux Dysfunction in Simulated Microgravity

  • 摘要: 为解决微重力环境下乳腺癌耐药蛋白(breast cancer resistance protein,BCRP)介导的肠道药物外排功能异常及其对底物药物疗效与毒性的潜在影响问题,本研究采用模拟微重力(simulated microgravity,SMG)大鼠回肠组织模型及Caco-2细胞屏障模型,结合VEGFR2-PI3K-Akt-NF-κB信号通路活性分析(Western blot、qPCR),系统探究了BCRP功能调控机制. 研究结果表明: SMG通过激活VEGFR2-PI3K-Akt-NF-κB级联反应,显著上调BCRP蛋白表达和mRNA水平;功能学验证显示SMG组药物肠吸收率降低,底物药物胞内蓄积减少. 该结果提示失重条件下口服BCRP底物类药物时应考虑区别于地面的给药方案. 本研究有望为航天员在轨用药效应评价及用药安全提供基础研究数据.

     

    Abstract: To solve the problems existed in breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), causing the intestinal drug efflux function abnormal under microgravity and the potential impact on therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of substrate drugs, the regulatory mechanism of BCRP function was investigated systematically with a simulated microgravity (SMG) rat ileal tissue model and Caco-2 cell monolayer model, combining with analysis of VEGFR2-PI3K-Akt-NF-κB signaling pathway activity with Western blot and quantitative PCR (qPCR). The key findings include: activating the VEGFR2-PI3K-Akt-NF-κB cascade, SMG can up regulate BCRP protein expression and mRNA levels significantly. The results of functional validation show that intestinal absorption rate can be reduced and intracellular accumulation of substrate drugs can be decreased in SMG groups. The achievement presents a suggestion for oral administration of BCRP substrate drugs under weightlessness environment, that should adjust the dosing regimens distinct from those used under terrestrial conditions. Furthermore, this research can provide hopefully a fundamental data for evaluating pharmacokinetics and toxicity profiles of medications during spaceflight missions, potentially informing medication safety protocols for astronauts in orbit.
