Polymyxin B is increasingly used as a treatment of last resort against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. Using a mammalian kidney cell line, we demonstrated that polymyxin B uptake into proximal tubular epithelial cells was saturable and occurred primarily through the apical membrane, suggesting the involvement of transporters in the renal uptake of polymyxin B. Megalin might play a role in the uptake and accumulation of polymyxin B into renal cells.
多粘菌素B越来越多地被用作治疗多重耐药革兰氏阴性菌感染的最后手段。我们使用一种哺乳动物肾细胞系证明,多粘菌素B进入近端肾小管上皮细胞的过程是可饱和的,且主要通过顶膜发生,这表明转运体参与了多粘菌素B的肾脏摄取过程。巨膜蛋白可能在多粘菌素B摄取并积聚到肾细胞的过程中发挥作用。
