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.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionSandwich-cultured human hepatocytes (SCHHs) are the most common in vitro hepatocyte model used for studying hepatic drug disposition and hepatotoxicity. Targeted quantification of key DME and transporter protein expression is useful for in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of drug and xenobiotic clearance and developing corresponding PBPK models. However, established methods for comprehensive quantification of drug metabolizing enzyme (DMEs) and transporter expression in SCHHs are lacking. In this study, a targeted quantitative proteomic isotope dilution nanoLC-MS/MS method developed in our laboratory was adapted to quantify a panel of phase I & II DMEs and transporter proteins in SCHHs under basal and induced conditions.

methodsSCHHs were treated with known inducers of DMEs (Rifampin: PXR activator, CITCO: CAR activator) and transporters (CDCA: FXR activator) or with vehicle control (DMSO) for 72 h. Membrane protein was isolated from the SCHHs using a membrane extraction kit and 30 μg membrane protein was digested with trypsin. The resulting peptides were analyzed by isotope dilution nanoLC-MS/MS to quantify the DMEs and transporters.

resultsUsing the method, we could quantify fourteen phase I and ten phase II DMEs, and twelve uptake/efflux transporters, under basal and induced conditions in the SCHHs. Analysis showed donor to donor variation in basal protein levels of CYP450s, UGTs and transporters, and that basal protein expression of CYP450s and UGTs was higher than that of transporters. In addition, induction of key proteins in response to rifampin, CITCO and CDCA was observed. DISCUSSION: We have successfully quantified protein abundance of multiple phase I and II DMEs and uptake and efflux transporters in SCHHs using a method previously developed in our laboratory. Our method is sufficiently sensitive to quantify inter-donor differences in protein concentrations at the basal level as well as changes in protein expression in response to endogenous and exogenous stimuli.
