Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tetracycline transporter-like protein (TETRAN) was expressed at luminal membranes of proximal tubules and transport indomethacin. However, little is known about its ligands and function. In this study, the ligand-recognition of TETRAN was investigated using HEK293 cells stable cell line. The cationic fluorescent dye rhodamine123 was found to be a substrate. The rhodamine was transported in a time-, concentration, and pH-dependent manner. Clonidine, decynium 22, diphenhydramine, YM-155, MPP+, and pyrilamine are identified as inhibitors with IC50s on the order of micro M. Competitive counterflow assays suggested that decynium 22 is the substrate.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ヒトTETRANは,腎臓に発現し抗炎症薬のインドメタシンを輸送すること,また,細胞に発現させるとインドメタシン耐性をもたらすことから,薬物や毒物の尿中排泄に寄与することが推測されていた。しかし,TETRANによって輸送される薬物や輸送を阻害する薬物に関する情報がなく, TETRANの機能は未知のままであった。本研究では,放射性標識などを必要とせず,定量が容易な蛍光基質を見出した。また,従来考えられていたアニオンではなく,種々カチオンが阻害剤となることを見出した。以上の知見は,TETRANの機能を解析する上で有用な知見になりうるものと考える。
