Pharmacokinetics of SN-38 in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is partially varied because of fluctuations in transporters expression and/or function by high protein bound-uremic toxins concentration. The fluctuations may induce variations in anticancer drugs sensitivity to cancer cells. We aimed to clarify the variations in sensitivity of SN-38 to cancer patients with ESKD and investigate this mechanism, by human colon cancer cells exposed to uremic serum residue. LS180 cells were exposed to normal or uremic serum residue (LS/NSR or LS/USR cells) for a month. IC 50  values of SN-38 in LS/NSR or LS/USR cells were calculated from viability of each cells treated SN-38. mRNA expression and intracellular SN-38 accumulation was evaluated by RT-PCR and HPLC-fluorescence methods, respectively. The IC 50  value in LS/USR cells was higher than that in LS/NSR cells. Organic anion transporter polypeptide (OATP) 2B1 mRNA expression was lower in LS/USR cells than in LS/NSR cells, and SN-38 accumulation in LS/USR cells was lower than that in LS/NSR cells. Only co-treatment baicalin, which is OATP2B1 inhibitor, almost negated the difference in SN-38 accumulation between LS/NSR and LS/USR. Anticancer effects of substrates of OATP2B1, such as SN-38, were reduced in ESKD patients at the same plasma substrate concentration.
