Effect of MRP8 overexpression on cytotoxicity of tenofovir in LLC-PK1 cells

Compound CC50 (μM) in:a
Fold change (CC50MRP8/CC50WT)c
WT cellsb MRP8-overexpressing cells
Tenofovir 33,694 ± 839 161,076 ± 5,478 4.78
Tenofovir + 50 μM MK-571 34,938 ± 770 138,115 ± 976 3.95
Tenofovir + 100 μM MK-571 33,530 ± 466 10,713 ± 132 0.32
a

Values represent the means ± standard deviations of five independent experiments. The calculation was fitted to Richard's five-parameter dose-response curve (45) (asymmetric sigmoidal, with robust fit). See Materials and Methods for details.

b

WT, wild type, LLC-PK1 parental cells.

c

For all compounds there was a significant (P < 0.0001) decrease in toxicity due to MRP8 overexpression based on two-way ANOVA multiple comparison tests assuming equal variance.
