Activity of renal organic anion transporters in a model of ischemia and reperfusion injury in vitro

Abstract

The aim of the work is to study the functional characteristics of SLC transporters of organic anions: OAT1 and OAT3 in normal conditions and in model ischemia/reperfusion injury.Materials and methods. The HEK293 cell line was used as a model for the study. Conditions of ischemia/reperfusion injury were created by the previously described method. The activity of the transporters was assessed by the capture of the marker substrate - fluorescein. The concentration of fluorescein was measured using a plate fluorimeter. The results were normalized by the amount of total protein.Results. In condition of ischemia/reperfusion injury, the activity of organic anion transporters decreased in comparison with the norm. The data obtained allow us to conclude that in conditions of ischemia/reperfusion injury, the concentration of dicarboxylic acids in the cell is low, which in turn can lead to a decrease activity of transporters.
