Modulation of P‐glycoprotein activity by cannabinoid molecules in HK‐2 renal cells

Abstract: 1 Endogenous and synthetic cannabinoid molecules have been investigated as possible MDR-1/Pglycoprotein (P-gp) modulators in HK-2-immortalized renal cells, using calcein acetoxymethylester (calcein-AM) as a P-gp substrate.2 Among the endocannabinoid molecules tested, anandamide (AEA), but not 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) or palmitoyl-ethanolamide (PEA), increased the intracellular fluorescence emitted by calcein, a metabolic derivative of the P-gp substrate calcein-AM, indicative of a reduction in transport c… Show more

“…HK2 cells were treated with the global cannabinoid agonist anandamide (AEA: 0.1 μM and AEA 1 μM ). Dose ranges utilised were similar to those employed in previously published literature [24,[26][27][28][29][30]. Treatment groups were compared to vehicle control (ethanol 0.02%).…”

“…Moreover, phloridzin is a specific inhibitor of SGLT1-mediated transport, but we do not believe that SGLT1 is involved in the uptake of a low concentration of serotonin [51] and dopamine [52] transporters. Cannabinoids also interfere with P-glycoprotein [53] , with an equilibrative nucleoside transporter [54] , and with the placental uptake of the vitamin folate [55] .…”

“…Cannabinoids also interfere with P-glycoprotein [20] and with an equilibrative nucleoside transporter [21] . Interestingly, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive cannabinoid present in marijuana, was very recently found to interfere with the uptake of FA by primary cultures of human trophoblasts [6,22] .…”

“…This observation suggests that the effect of THC and anandamide is not mediated by the CB receptor. Interestingly enough, cannabinoids were previously shown to interfere with other transport mechanisms via CB-receptor-independent mechanisms [19][20][21] . So, it is possible that the effect of cannabinoids upon FA uptake results from a direct effect of the compounds on FA transporter(s).…”
