Abstract

The expression and functionality of
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was assessed in Calu-3 cell monolayers cultured at an air-liquid interface. Net secretory transport of the established P-glycoprotein substrate 3H-digoxin was abolished at 4°C but was only marginally affected by the metabolic inhibitor sodium azide and unaffected by the specific P-gp antibody inhibitor UIC2. Results suggest that P-gp does not play a major role in the trafficking of 3H-digoxin in Calu-3 cells.
