Multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 is up-regulated in liver but down-regulated in kidney in obstructive cholestasis in the rat

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (Mrp4, ABCC4) transports cyclic nucleotides, anti-retroviral compounds, and sulfated bile acids. Mrp4 expression is increased in farnesyl/bile acid receptor knockout mice. Our aim was to investigate Mrp4 expression and function in rat liver and kidney in obs...

Zusammenfassung:Multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (Mrp4, ABCC4) transports cyclic nucleotides, anti-retroviral compounds, and sulfated bile acids. Mrp4 expression is increased in farnesyl/bile acid receptor knockout mice. Our aim was to investigate Mrp4 expression and function in rat liver and kidney in obstructive cholestasis. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to bile duct ligation (BDL) or sham-surgery. Animals were sacrificed after 3, 7, and 14 days and tissues were harvested for Western blot analysis, real-time reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry. Western blot analysis revealed a progressive, more than seven-fold increase (P
