An Interspecies Molecular and Functional Study of Organic Cation Transporters at the Blood-Brain Barrier: From Rodents to Humans

Résumé

Organic cation transporters (OCTs) participate in the handling of compounds in kidneys and at the synaptic cleft. Their role at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in brain drug delivery is still unclear. The presence of OCT1,2,3 (SLC22A1-3) in mouse, rat and human isolated brain microvessels was investigated by either qRT-PCR, quantitative proteomics and/or functional studies. BBB transport of the prototypical substrate [3H]-1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ([3H]-MPP+) was measured by in situ brain perfusion in six mouse strains and in Sprague Dawley rats, in primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells seeded on inserts, in the presence or absence of OCTs and a MATE1 (SLC49A1) inhibitor. The results show negligible OCT1 (SLC22A1) and OCT2 (SLC22A2) expression in either mice, rat or human brain microvessels, while OCT3 expression was identified in rat microvessels by qRT-PCR. The in vitro human cellular uptake of [3H]-MPP+ was not modified by OCTs/MATE-inhibitor. Brain transport of [3H]-MPP+ remains unchanged between 2- and 6-month old mice, and no alteration was observed in mice and rats with inhibitors. In conclusion, the evidenced lack of expression and/or functional OCTs and MATE at the BBB allows the maintenance of the brain homeostasis and function as it prevents an easy access of their neurotoxicant substrates to the brain parenchyma.
