Abstract:
:The effect of tributyltin (TBT) on human intestinal epithelial cell functions was investigated by using human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers. We paid particular attention to the effect of TBT on two barrier functions: the tight junction as a physical barrier and MDR1/P-glycoprotein as a biological barrier. A loss of monolayer integrity was apparent from the TBT treatment and the paracellular permeability was increased by TBT. On the other hand, the activity of P-glycoprotein, which was examined by measuring the accumulation of Rhodamine-123 and daunomycin, was increased by prolonged TBT treatment in a concentration-dependent manner (1-100 nM). Furthermore, it was clarified by Western and Northern blots that this increase was accompanied by the increased expression of MDR1 mRNA and protein. The activation of a multidrug resistance transporter P-glycoprotein by TBT would cause a disorder of the human intestines by changing the drug pharmacokinetics.

杂志文章abstract::p66Shc plays a key role in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. p66Shc gene expression is tissue-specific and controlled by promoter methylation. In T-cells p66Shc expression is induced by a variety of apoptotic stimuli. We have addressed the mechanisms regulating p66Shc expression in T-cells. We show that the increase...
