SLC10A1

The Na ( +)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a member of the solute carrier family 10 (SLC10), which consists of 7 members (SLC10a1-SLC10a7). NTCP is a transporter localized to the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and is primarily responsible for the absorption of bile acids. Although mammalian NTCP has been extensively studied, little is known about the lamprey NTCP (L-NTCP). Here we show that L-NTCP follows the biological evolutionary history of vertebrates, with conserved domain, motif, and similar tertiary structure to higher vertebrates...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant type of liver cancer that poses severe threat to human health worldwide. Aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of HCC and facilitates its progression. Solute carrier family 10 member 1 (SLC10A1) and long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 659 (LINC00659) were detected to be downregulated in HCC cells, yet their potential functions underlying HCC progression remained unidentified. In the current work, colony formation and transwell assays were used to detect HCC cells (HepG2 and HuH-7) proliferation and migration in vitro study...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: OATP1B3/SLCO1B3 is a human liver-specific transporter for the clearance of endogenous compounds (e.g. bile acid/BA) and xenobiotics. The functional role of OATP1B3 in humans has not been characterized as SLCO1B3 is poorly conserved among species without mouse orthologs. METHODS: Slc10a1-knockout (Slc10a1-/- ), Slc10a1hSLCO1B3 (endogenous mouse Slc10a1 promoter-driven human-SLCO1B3 expression in Slc10a1-/- mice), and human SLCO1B3 liver-specific transgenic (hSLCO1B3-LTG) mice were generated and challenged with 0...

Na+ /taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a member of the solute carrier (SLC) family 10 transporters (gene symbol SLC10A1 ) and is responsible for the sodium-dependent uptake of bile salts across the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. In addition to its primary transporter function, NTCP is the high-affinity hepatic receptor for hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis D (HDV) viruses and, therefore, is a prerequisite for HBV/HDV virus entry into hepatocytes. The inhibition of HBV/HDV binding to NTCP and internalization of the virus/NTCP receptor complex has become a major concept in the development of new antiviral drugs called HBV/HDV entry inhibitors...

Introduction: Bulevirtide is a first-in-class antiviral drug to treat chronic hepatitis B/D. We investigated the drug-drug interaction potential and pharmacokinetics of high-dose subcutaneous bulevirtide (5 mg twice daily) with organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. Methods: This was a single-center, open-label, fixed-sequence drug-drug interaction trial in 19 healthy volunteers. Before and at bulevirtide steady state, participants ingested a single 40 mg dose of pravastatin...

The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP; gene name SLC10A1 ) is the primary hepatic basolateral uptake transporter for conjugated bile acids and the entry receptor for the hepatitis B and D virus (HBV/HDV). Regulation of human NTCP remains a knowledge gap due to significant species differences in substrate and inhibitor selectivity and plasma membrane expression. In the present study, various kinase inhibitors were screened for inhibition of NTCP function and taurocholate (TCA) uptake using NTCP-transfected HuH-7 cells...

BACKGROUND: In lean individuals, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not a benign disease, and these patients have long-term morbidity and mortality similar to those of their nonlean counterparts. Finding biomarkers for noninvasive and early detection is urgent and microRNAs (miRNAs) show potential. The aims of this study were to investigate the potential role of serum miRNAs in the detection of lean NAFLD and to explore the possible pathogenesis of lean NAFLD. METHODS: A total of 498 patients with NAFLD and 98 healthy controls were included to compare the clinical characteristics of lean NAFLD patients [LNs: body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m2 ], nonlean NAFLD patients (NLNs: BMI ≥23 kg/m2 ) and normal healthy individuals (HIs)...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most serious global health problems. Our previous data using an in vitro assay revealed that miR-6126 suppressed the extracellular HBs antigen level, suggesting that miR-6126 had potential to suppress viral activity of HBV. In the current study, we aimed to clarify whether miR-6126 downregulated the expression level of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), a host cell receptor required for HBV entry. In brief, HepG2-NTCP cells were utilized to evaluate the expression level of NTCP and the PreS1 attachment to NTCP after transfection with miR-6126...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver with a very high fatality rate. Our goal in this study is to find a reliable lipid metabolism-related signature associated with prognostic significance for HCC. In this study, HCC lipid metabolism-related molecular subtype analysis was conducted based on the 243 lipid metabolism genes collected from the Molecular Signatures Database. Several significant disparities in prognosis, clinicopathological characteristics, and immune and ferroptosis-related status were found across the three subtypes, especially between C1 and C3 subgroups...

ABCB11 is responsible for biliary bile acid secretion at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. Variations in the ABCB11 gene cause a spectrum of rare liver diseases. The most severe form is progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2). Current medical treatments have limited efficacy. Here, we report the in vitro study of Abcb11 missense variants identified in PFIC2 patients and their functional rescue using cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator potentiators. Three ABCB11 disease-causing variations identified in PFIC2 patients (i...

PURPOSE: IR injury is an unavoidable consequence in deceased donor liver transplantation. Cold preservation and warm reperfusion may change the expression and function of drug transporters in the liver due to vasoconstriction, infiltration of neutrophils and release of cytokines. We hypothesize that vasodilation, anti-platelet aggregation and proinflammatory downregulation activities of treprostinil will diminish the IR injury and its associated effects. METHODS: Livers obtained from male SD rats (n = 20) were divided into 1) Control, 2) IR, 3) Treprostinil-1 (preservation only), and 4) Treprostinil-2 (preservation and reperfusion) groups...

Rifampicin is one of the most important drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 and SLC10A1 genes are associated with impaired transporter function of drug compounds such as rifampicin. The relationship between genetic variation, clinical comorbidities, and rifampicin exposures in TB patients has not been completely elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of SLCO1A1 and SLCO1B1 polymorphisms in TB and TB-DM patients and to determine their relationship with rifampicin pharmacokinetics on patients from México...

BACKGROUND: Sodium taurocholate co-transportering polypeptide (NTCP, SLC10A1) is a vital bile acid transporter and the functional receptor of hepatitis B and D virus. The oligomerization of NTCP is important for the structural study of its interaction with HBV preS1 peptide. METHODS: Recombinant NTCPs were expressed in Sf9 host cell using baculoviruses. Function of recombinant NTCP was verified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method...

Background: The p.Ser267Phe mutation in the SLC10A1 gene can cause NTCP deficiency. However, the full clinical presentation of p.Ser267Phe homozygous individuals and its long-term consequences remain unclear. Hence, in the present study, we characterized the phenotypic characteristics of NTCP deficiency and evaluated its long-term prognosis. Methods: Ten NTCP p.Ser267Phe homozygous individuals were recruited and a comprehensive medical evaluation with a 5-year follow-up observation was performed...

Polymorphisms of genes involved in the metabolism and transport of folate and cobalamin could play relevant roles in pregnancy outcomes. This study assessed the prevalence of genetic polymorphisms of folate and cobalamin metabolism-related genes such as MTHFR, MTR, CUBN, and SLC19A1 in pregnant women of a homogeneous Spanish population according to conception, pregnancy, delivery, and newborns complications. This study was conducted on 149 nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies. Sociodemographic and obstetrics variables were recorded, and all patients were genotyped in the MTHFR, MTR, CUBN, and SLC10A1 polymorphisms...

The hepatic Na+ -taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide NTCP/ SLC10A1 is important for the uptake of bile salts and selected drugs. Its inhibition results in increased systemic bile salt concentrations. NTCP is also the entry receptor for the hepatitis B/D virus. We investigated interindividual hepatic SLC10A1 /NTCP expression using various omics technologies. SLC10A1 /NTCP mRNA expression/protein abundance was quantified in well-characterized 143 human livers by real-time PCR and LC-MS/MS-based targeted proteomics...

Na+ /taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP, gene symbol SLC10A1) is a hepatic bile acid uptake carrier participating in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Apart from its transporter function, NTCP acts as the high-affinity liver-specific receptor for the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which attaches via its preS1-peptide domain of the large surface protein to NTCP, subsequently leading to endocytosis of the virus/NTCP-receptor complex. Although the process of NTCP-dependent HBV infection of hepatocytes has received much attention over the last decade, the precise molecular sites of the virus/NTCP interaction have not been fully identified...

Na+ -taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide deficiency (NTCPD) is an autosomal recessive disorder arising from biallelic SLC10A1 mutations. As a newly-described inborn error of bile acid metabolism, the epidemiology of this condition remains largely unclear in Chinese population so far. In this study, a total of 2,828 peripheral blood samples were collected from 12 cities in Guangdong, a province with the largest population in China, and the four prevalent SLC10A1 variants c.800C > T (p.Ser267Phe), c.263T > C (p...

The Na+ /taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP, gene symbol SLC10A1 ) is both a physiological bile acid transporter and the high-affinity hepatic receptor for the hepatitis B and D viruses (HBV/HDV). Virus entry via endocytosis of the virus/NTCP complex involves co-factors, but this process is not fully understood. As part of the innate immunity, interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITM) 1-3 have been characterized as virus entry-restricting factors for many viruses. The present study identified IFITM3 as a novel protein-protein interaction (PPI) partner of NTCP based on membrane yeast-two hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation experiments...
