Figure 2.4 Hepatic proteins involved in drug, bilirubin, and bile acid transport. Drugs are removed from the blood by influx transporters on the basolateral membrane. These influx transporters include organic anion‐transporting polypeptides (OATP), organic anion transporters (OAT), and organic cation transporters (OCT), all of which belong to the solute carrier superfamily. OATP1B1 and OAT1B3 also are involved in bilirubin and bile acid uptake; however, the sodium taurocholate co‐transporting polypeptide (NTCP) is primarily responsible for transporting bile acids into the hepatocyte from the sinusoidal space. The bile salt export pump (BSEP) transports bile salts from the hepatocyte into the biliary canaliculi, while the multidrug resistance‐associated protein 2 (MRP2) transports sulphated bile salts as well as drug metabolites into the biliary canaliculi. Multidrug resistance protein 3 (MDR3) and ATPase Phospholipid Transporting 8B1 (APT8B1) translocate phospholipids that, together with bile acids, form mixed micelles which protect the biliary tree from the detergent‐like effects of bile salts. Located on the basolateral membrane, multidrug resistance associated proteins MRP3 (ABCC3) and MRP4 (ABCC4) return drug metabolites and bile acids to the liver sinusoids. If cholestatic conditions exist, MRP3 and MRP4 are upregulated to protect hepatocytes from toxic bile acid accumulation. Drug metabolites are exported into the biliary canaliculi by multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1), and multidrug resistance‐associated protein 2 (MRP2).

Efflux transporters are located either on the basolateral membrane or the canalicular membrane and belong to the ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. Multidrug resistance‐associated proteins MRP3 (ABCC3) and MRP4 (ABCC4) are located on the basolateral membrane and return drug metabolites and bile acids from liver cells to the sinusoid blood. Under cholestatic conditions, MRP3 and MRP4 are upregulated in order to protect hepatocytes from bile acid accumulation [28, 29].
Transporters on the canalicular membrane are responsible for the export of drug metabolites and bile components. Drug metabolites are exported into the biliary canaliculi by multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) and multidrug resistance‐associated protein 2 (MRP2). In addition to drug metabolites, MRP2 also transports sulphated bile salts and conjugated bilirubin into the biliary canaliculi. The BSEP transports bile salts from the hepatocyte into the biliary canaliculi. Multidrug resistance protein 3 (MDR3) and ATPase Phospholipid Transporting 8B1 (APT8B1) translocate phospholipids that, together with bile acids, form mixed micelles which protect the biliary tree from the detergent‐like effects of bile salts.
Efficient export of bile salts and acids is essential, as their accumulation can be toxic for hepatocytes due to their detergent‐like effects. Drug interactions or genetic defects that impair hepatic transporters involved in bile salt or phospholipid secretion can result in intrahepatic cholestasis (Table 2.1). For example, mutations in ABCB3, which encodes the phospholipid transporter MDR3, can cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 3, a condition that usually presents as cholestasis in early childhood and may progress to end‐stage liver disease [31]. MDR3 is inhibited by azole antifungals, including ketoconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole [33]. Loss‐of‐function mutations in ABCB11, the gene encoding the BSEP, cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 2 [31] and drugs that inhibit the BSEP, such as bosentan, cyclosporin A, and troglitazone, can induce cholestatic DILI [34, 35].

Increasing evidence has shown that in vitro inhibition of the BSEP is one of the essential mechanisms leading to DILI and is also
