Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gene transfection, in particular to a method for efficiently preparing ABC transporter mold-reversing vesicles. Background Art

[0002] ABC transporters (ATP-binding cassette transporters) are a class of transport proteins that use the energy generated by ATP hydrolysis to expel substances out of cells against concentration. Their ATP-binding subunits were identified in 1986, and they were officially named ABC transporters in 1990.

[0003] ABC transporters have attracted wide attention in the field of tumor treatment because of their ability to confer multidrug resistance to cells. With the development of biotechnology, ABC transporters have been widely used in biomedicine, biofuels, microbial industrial production and other fields.

[0004] Application of ABC transporters in improving the performance of industrial strains: ABC transporters can pump substances into or out of cells like a pump, and regulate membrane permeability by regulating the function of membrane proteins. In microbial industrial production, engineered ABC transporters are used to improve the performance of industrial strains, enhance strain tolerance and increase the yield of target products.

[0005] In vitro research models of ABC transporters: In vitro research models of ABC transporters mainly include membrane vesicle models, polarized monolayer cell models, and "sandwich" cultured hepatocyte models. Among them, the membrane vesicle model is prepared by infecting insect cells or transfecting mammalian cells, and the vesicles are turned inside out through a special process to form "inside-out" or "inverted" membrane vesicles, so that the substrate binding site is exposed outside the vesicle, which is convenient for drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies.

[0006] Preparation and application of ABC transporter vesicles: ABC transporter vesicles are prepared from HEK293 cells overexpressing specific ABC transporters. These "inside-out" vesicles provide high levels of transporter activity and can be used to evaluate the interaction potential of early candidate drugs and substrates. Summary of the invention

[0073] Let's take an example: ABCB1

[0074] P-glycoprotein (P-gp) belongs to the ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) protein family and is an ATP-dependent transmembrane efflux transporter. In humans, it is mainly encoded by the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1), also known as the ABCB1 gene. P-gp is related to both multidrug resistance and drug-drug interactions (DDI). The drug regulatory authorities in the United States, Europe, and China have successively issued guidelines, listing transporter-mediated DDI research as an important indicator for evaluating the safety and efficacy of new drugs. It also clearly points out that in vitro studies should be used to evaluate whether the drug under investigation is a substrate, inhibitor, or inducer of P-gp, providing a reference for in vivo studies.
