Abstract

The role of Mrp2, Bcrp, and P-glycoprotein in the biliary excretion of acetaminophen sulfate (AS) and glucuronide (AG), 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate (4MUS) and glucuronide (4MUG), and harmol sulfate (HS) and glucuronide (HG) was studied in Abcc2(-/-), Abcg2(-/-), and Abcb1a(-/-)/Abcb1b(-/-) mouse livers perfused with the respective parent compounds using a cassette dosing approach. Biliary clearance of the sulfate conjugates was significantly decreased in Bcrp-deficient mouse livers, resulting in negligible biliary excretion of AS, 4MUS, and HS. Interestingly, the most profound decrease in the biliary clearance of the glucuronide conjugates was observed in Bcrp-deficient mouse livers, although the biliary clearance of 4MUG was also ~35% lower in Mrp2-deficient mouse livers. As expected, biliary excretion of conjugates was not impaired in P-glycoprotein-deficient livers. An appreciable increase in perfusate recovery due to a shift in the directionality of metabolite excretion, from bile to perfusate, was noted in knockout mice only for conjugates whose biliary clearance constituted an appreciable (≥ 37%) fraction of total hepatic excretory clearance (i.e. 4MUS, HG, and HS). Biliary clearance of AG, AS, and 4MUG constituted a small fraction of total hepatic excretory clearance, so an appreciable increase in perfusate recovery of these metabolites was not observed in knockout mice despite markedly decreased biliary excretion. Unlike in rats, where sulfate and glucuronide conjugates were excreted into bile predominantly by Mrp2, mouse Bcrp mediated the biliary excretion of sulfate metabolites, and also played a major role in the biliary excretion of the glucuronide metabolites, with some minor contribution from mouse Mrp2.
