The effect of interferon (IFN)-beta and IFN-gamma on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux of rhodamin-123(Rho-123), a typical substrate of P-gp, was studied in rat hepatocytes in primary culture. After treatment with IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, or both for 3 days, steady-state levels of Rho-123, incorpora

Mammalian liver exhibits expression of members of the family of multidrug resistance (mdr) transporters (P-glycoproteins). P-glycoprotein isoforms encoded by mdr1 genes participate in extrusion of an array of xenobiotics into the bile. Induction of mdr1b mRNA expression has been shown to occur in ra
The serum level of rat a,-acid glycoprotein is significantly increased by treatment with phenobarbital, and in uiuo studies have shown that phenobarbital seems to act mainly at the transcriptional level. To show the direct mediating effect of phenobarbital on a,-acid glycoprotein gene expression, we
