Aim To investigate the toxicity of isopsor-alen in HepG2 cells and its effects on bile acid, bile acid synthesis and transport. Methods Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay and bile acid was deter-mined inside HepG2 cells, with exposure to various isopsoralen for 24h. The mRNA transcription of BSEP, MRP2, MRP3, NTCP, OATP2, OSTα, CYP7A1, CYP27 A1 , FXR and PXR were assessed by real-time PCR. Results The cell viability was decreased dose-dependently with isopsoralen in HepG2 cells, and IC50 was 118. 1μmol·L-1 exposure to isopsoralen for 24h. Bile acid inside cells significantly increased with 100 and 400 μmol · L-1 isopsoralen. Isopsoralen caused the down-regulation of MRP2 , MRP3 , CYP7 A1 mRNA at 25 μmol · L-1 . Beside these, the up-regulation of OATP2,OSTα,CYP27A1,FXR,PXR with 100 μmol· L-1 isopsoralen, but there was no significant change of BSEP and NTCP. Conclusion The results show that isopsoralen induces bile acid accumulation and cytotox-icity which may be associated with the down-regulation of MRP2, MRP3 in HepG2 cells.%目的：观察异补骨脂素体外对HepG2细胞毒性和细胞内胆汁酸浓度的影响,并考察其对胆汁酸合成转运的影响。方法不同浓度异补骨脂素在HepG2细胞作用24 h, MTT法检测细胞存活,并检查细胞内胆汁酸浓度。常规TRIzol法提取RNA,real time PCR检测细胞中转运体BSEP、MRP2、 MRP3、 OATP2、 NTCP、 OSTα,合成酶 CYP7A1、CYP27A1和受体 FXR、PXR 的 mRNA 转录水平。结果HepG2细胞存活率随着异补骨脂素浓度升高而剂量依赖性的降低,异补骨脂素作用24 h的IC50为118.1μmol·L-1。100、400μmol·L-1异补骨脂素可使细胞内胆汁酸浓度明显升高。异补骨脂素在25μmol·L-1时就可使MRP2、MRP3、CYP7A1明显降低,当浓度增大到100μmol · L-1时, OATP2、OSTα、CYP27A1、FXR、PXR 也明显升高,但 BSEP、NTCP差异无显著性。结论异补骨脂素可引起HepG2细胞内胆汁酸升高和细胞毒性,其机制可能与抑制 MRP2、MRP3有关。
