Resumen
La P-glicoproteína (Pgp o MDR1) es una proteína transmembrana
que cumple un papel importante en el transporte de numerosos
sustratos a través de barreras celulares. Está codificada por el gen
ABCB1 y se expresa en tejidos como barrera hematoencefálica,
placenta, ductos pancreáticos y células tubulares del riñón. La
mutación nt230 (del4) MDR1/ABCB1 en este gen, consiste en la
pérdida de cuatro pares de bases en el exón 4, lo que produce la
formación de un codón de terminación que genera un producto de
91 aminoácidos en lugar de los 1280 que componen la proteína
normal. Dada la importancia de la Pgp en la disposición parenquimal
de fármacos, especialmente a nivel del sistema nervioso central, su
alteración genera efectos en la distribución de diversos
medicamentos como antiparasitarios, analgésicos y antineoplásicos;
por lo que su detección es valiosa para establecer las dosis
adecuadas en animales portadores de la mutación. Hasta el
momento esta ha sido reportada con una frecuencia variable en al
menos trece razas de caninos en diferentes países de Europa, así
como en Estados Unidos, Australia, Japón e Israel. Sin embargo,
dado que en el país ni en Centroamérica existen reportes en razas
propensas a presentarla, se planteó el presente estudio con el fin de
implementar un protocolo para su detección en perros de Costa
Rica
P-glycoprotein (Pgp or MDR1) is a transmembrane protein that plays an important role in the transport of numerous substrates across cellular barriers. It is encoded by the ABCB1 gene and is expressed in tissues such as blood-brain barrier, placenta, pancreatic ducts and kidney tubular cells. The nt230 (del4) MDR1/ABCB1 mutation in this gene consists of the loss of four base pairs in exon 4, which results in the formation of a termination codon that generates a product of 91 amino acids instead of the 1280 that make up the normal protein. Given the importance of Pgp in the parenchymal disposition of drugs, especially at the level of the central nervous system, its alteration generates effects in the distribution of various drugs such as antiparasitics, analgesics and antineoplastics; therefore, its detection is valuable to establish the adequate doses in animals carrying the mutation. So far, this mutation has been reported with a variable frequency in at least thirteen canine breeds in different European countries, as well as in the United States, Australia, Japan and Israel. However, given that in Costa Rica and Central America there are no reports in breeds prone to present it, the present study was proposed in order to implement a protocol for its detection in Costa Rican dogs.
