Current therapies for organophosphate poisoning involve administration of oximes, such as pralidoxime (2-PAM), that reactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Studies in animal models have shown a low concentration in the brain following systemic injection.
To assess 2-PAM transport, we studied transwell permeability in three Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCKII) cell lines and stem cell-derived human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BC1-hBMECs). To determine whether 2-PAM is a substrate for common brain efflux pumps, experiments were performed in the MDCKII-MDR1 cell line, transfected to overexpress the P-gp efflux pump, and the MDCKII-FLuc-ABCG2 cell line, transfected to overexpress the BCRP efflux pump. To determine how transcellular transport influences enzyme reactivation, we developed a modified transwell assay where the inhibited acetylcholinesterase enzyme, substrate, and reporter are introduced into the basolateral chamber. Enzymatic activity was inhibited using paraoxon and parathion.
The permeability of 2-PAM is about 2 × 10(-6) cm s(-1) in MDCK cells and about 1 × 10(-6) cm s(-1) in BC1-hBMECs. Permeability is not influenced by pre-treatment with atropine. In addition, 2-PAM is not a substrate for the P-gp or BCRP efflux pumps.
The low permeability explains poor brain penetration of 2-PAM and therefore the slow enzyme reactivation. This elucidates one of the reasons for the necessity of sustained intravascular (IV) infusion in response to organophosphate poisoning.
目前用于有机磷中毒的治疗方法包括使用肟类药物,如氯解磷定(2 - PAM),其可使乙酰胆碱酯酶重新激活。动物模型研究表明,全身注射后脑中的浓度较低。
为评估2 - PAM的转运情况,我们研究了其在三种麦迪逊 - 达比犬肾(MDCKII)细胞系和干细胞衍生的人脑微血管内皮细胞(BC1 - hBMECs)中的跨膜通透性。为确定2 - PAM是否为常见脑外排泵的底物,在转染过表达P - gp外排泵的MDCKII - MDR1细胞系和转染过表达BCRP外排泵的MDCKII - FLuc - ABCG2细胞系中进行了实验。为确定跨细胞转运如何影响酶的重新激活,我们开发了一种改良的跨膜测定法,将被抑制的乙酰胆碱酯酶、底物和报告物引入基底外侧腔室。使用对氧磷和对硫磷抑制酶活性。
2 - PAM在MDCK细胞中的通透性约为2×10⁻⁶ cm s⁻¹,在BC1 - hBMECs中的通透性约为1×10⁻⁶ cm s⁻¹。通透性不受阿托品预处理的影响。此外,2 - PAM不是P - gp或BCRP外排泵的底物。
低通透性解释了2 - PAM脑穿透性差的原因,因此酶重新激活缓慢。这阐明了有机磷中毒时持续静脉输注的必要性的原因之一。
