Abstract:
:The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporter families consist of common drug transporters that mediate the efflux and uptake of drugs, respectively, and play an important role in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs in vivo. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by erosive arthritis, and there are many RA patients worldwide. Methotrexate (MTX), the first-choice treatment for RA, can reduce the level of inflammation, prevent joint erosion and functional damage, and greatly reduce pain in RA patients. However, many patients show resistance to MTX, greatly affecting the efficacy of MTX. Many factors, such as irrational drug use and heredity, are associated with drug resistance. Considering the effect of drug transporters on drugs, many studies have compared the expression of drug transporters in drug-resistant and drug-sensitive patients, and abnormal transporter expression and transport activity have been found in patients with MTX resistance. Thus, drug transporters are involved in drug resistance. This article reviews the effects of transporters on the efficacy of MTX in the treatment of RA.
