| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop in vitro experimental model systems to predict the renal secretion of drugs in human kidney, we treated the human kidney-derived cultured cells by various reagents to stimulate the expression of drug transporters. When HK-2 cells were treated with DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, the expression of OCT2 mRNA was significantly enhanced. It was demonstrated that the transport function of OCT2 was also enhanced. Development of in vitro experimental model systems to predict the renal secretion of drugs in human kidney will be useful for drug discovery and development.
