1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Organic cation transporters (OCTs) are members of the solute carrier 22 family of transporter proteins that are involved in absorption, distribution, and excretion of organic cations. OCT3 is localized in the apical (AP) membrane of enterocytes, but the literature is ambiguous about OCT1 (mOct1) localization, with some evidence suggesting a basolateral (BL) localization in human and mouse enterocytes. This is contrary to our preliminary findings showing AP localization of OCT1 in Caco-2 cell monolayers, an established model of human intestinal epithelium. Therefore, this study aims at determining the localization of OCT1 (mOct1) in Caco-2 cells, and human and mouse enterocytes. Functional studies using OCT1-specific substrate pentamidine showed transporter-mediated AP but not BL uptake in Caco-2 cells and human and mouse intestinal tissues. OCT1 inhibition decreased AP uptake of pentamidine by ∼50% in all three systems with no effect on BL uptake. A short hairpin RNA-mediated OCT1 knockdown in Caco-2 cells decreased AP uptake of pentamidine by ∼50% but did not alter BL uptake. Immunostaining and confocal microscopy in all three systems confirmed AP localization of OCT1 (mOct1). Our studies unequivocally show AP membrane localization of OCT1 (mOct1) in Caco-2 cells and human and mouse intestine. These results are highly significant as they will require reinterpretation of previous drug disposition and drug-drug interaction studies where conclusions were drawn assuming BL localization of OCT1 in enterocytes. Most importantly, these results will require revision of the regulatory guidance for industry in the United States and elsewhere because it has stated that OCT1 is basolaterally localized in enterocytes.
