概括
初级体单层有效地模拟了脂友性药物的肠道淋巴运输,为提高口服生物可用性提供了动物研究的有希望的替代方案.
科学领域:
- 药理动力学和药物输送方法
- 胃肠病学和肝病学
- 细胞生物学和生物化学
背景情况:
- 高脂性药物 (logP>5) 由于吸收挑战,表现出较差的口服生物利用性.
- 基洛米克龙 (CM) 介导的淋巴运输是输送脂性药物的关键途径,绕过了第一通代谢.
- 现有的体外模型,如Caco-2细胞,无法充分复制小肠中专门的脂蛋白合成.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究人类初级十二指肠 (hDuo) 和小鼠大肠 (mIle) 体单层对脂质消化产品的反应.
- 评估脂蛋白分泌,再化酶表达和模型脂友性药物 (halofantrine和navitoclax) 的CM运输.
- 评估初级体单层作为研究肠道淋巴药物运输的新方法方法 (NAM).
主要方法:
- 使用脉冲追踪方法与差异化的初级hDuo和mIle肠单层.
- 刺激的单层与油酸 (OA) 和2-单质素 (2-MO) 混合.
- 分析了脂蛋白分泌 (apoB-48),再化酶表达 (MTTP,MGAT2) 和将药物纳入CMs.
主要成果:
- 主要体表现出基极极化apoB-48分泌物,与Caco-2细胞不同.
- 在初级单层中,2-MO刺激显著增加了富含甘油三的脂蛋白分泌 (质量和直径).
- 与Caco-2细胞相比,初级单层显示出通过CMs进行的Halofantrine (4.6倍) 和navitoclax (14.9倍) 的更高的药物运输.
结论:
- 主要的体单层精确地回顾了肠道脂蛋白合成和CM组合.
- 这种模型表明,与Caco-2细胞系相比,脂性药物的淋巴运输优越.

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells
3.1K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Transcellular Transport of Solutes
4.6K
Transcellular transport of solutes is the movement of substances like monosaccharides and amino acids through polarized cells. This transport mechanism is primarily seen in epithelial and endothelial cells aided by membrane transport proteins such as channels and transporters. The tight junctions between these cells confine the membrane proteins to the two sides of the cell. The epithelial cells have distinct apical and basolateral domains. In contrast, the endothelial cells show the luminal...

Histology of the Small Intestine
3.4K
The small intestine exhibits a unique histological structure that significantly enhances its function in digestion and nutrient absorption. These structures include circular folds, villi, and various specialized cells that collectively facilitate the digestion of food.
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
562
In vitro experiments are crucial for understanding the transport and absorption of drugs through biological materials. These studies employ varied methods such as the diffusion cell method, the everted sac technique, and the everted ring technique.
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...

Carrier-Mediated Transport
1.0K
Carrier-mediated transport is a pivotal process in drug absorption, particularly for lipid-insoluble drugs, and encompasses facilitated diffusion and active transport. Facilitated diffusion allows drugs to move along their concentration gradient without energy expenditure, while active transport utilizes ATP to drive drug movement against this gradient.
Active transport involves two types of membrane-spanning transporters: uptake and efflux. Uptake transporters are expressed in the small...
