Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 16 kinds of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on P-glycoprotein/MDR1 in Caco-2 cells as an intestinal epithelial cell model. Cells were treated with NSAIDs for 24 hours, and then, the expression of MDR1 mRNA was evaluated by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The function of MDR1 in cells pretreated with NSAIDs for 48 hours was evaluated by measuring the cellular amount of rhodamine123, which is a substrate of MDR1. The expression of MDR1 mRNA was increased by diclofenac, fenbufen, indomethacin, and nimesulide and the tended to be increased by meloxicam, mepirizole, and sulindac. However, pretreatment for 48 hours with diclofenac, indomethacin, or nimesulide, but not fenbufen, resulted in a significant increase in the amount of rhodamine123 accumulated. Although NSAIDs without effects on the expression of MDR1 mRNA altered the accumulation of rhodamine123 significantly, the efflux of rhodamine123 from cells was unchanged. In conclusion, the expression of MDR1 mRNA in Caco-2 cells was demonstrated to be increased by treatment with some NSAIDs, although the transport function of MDR1 was unchanged. These findings imply that the NSAIDs did not cause the drug interaction via MDR1 induction.
