Transgenic Expression of the Human MRP2 Transporter Reduces Cisplatin Accumulation and Nephrotoxicity in Mrp2-Null Mice
20 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
The chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin is actively transported into proximal tubules, leading to acute renal injury. Previous studies suggest that the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) transporter may efflux cisplatin conjugates from cells. We sought to determine whether the absence of Mrp2 alters the accumulation and toxicity of platinum in the kidneys of mice and whether transgenic expression of the...
