Effect of mdr2 mutation with combined tandem disruption of canalicular glycoprotein transporters by cyclosporine A on bile formation in mice.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The inhibition of canalicular glycoprotein transporters has been suggested as the cause of familial intrahepatic cholestasis. Mutations in multidrug resistance 3-glycoprotein (MDR3) gene induce progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3). Phenotypically, mutation in mdr2 in mice resembles the disruption of MDR3 in human. Secondly, mutation in the bile salt exporting pump (BSEP)/sister...
