Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By in vitro and in vivo experiments and clinical analyses, we revealed that 1) OAT10/SLC22A13 mediates physiological transport of urate and its dysfunctional missense variant (R377C) decreases gout risk and serum uric acid levels, 2) ABCG2 is a physiological exporter of uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate and a crucial factor influencing CKD progression, 3) some of antihyperuricemic drugs such as febuxostat are strong ABCG2 inhibitors, and osthol isolated from Cnidium monnieri fruit and flavonoids in Citrus fruits have potential to inhibit URAT1-mediated transport of urate.
