1 The human organic cation transporter OCT1 mediates high affinity uptake of the anticancer drug daunorubicin. Daunorubicin solute carrier family 22 member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Using the high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell line TOV2223G, we show that OCT1 mediated the high affinity (Km ~ 5 muM) uptake of daunorubicin into the cells, and that micromolar amounts of choline completely abolished the drug entry. Daunorubicin solute carrier family 22 member 1 Homo sapiens
3 OCT1 downregulation by shRNA impaired daunorubicin uptake into the TOV2223G cells, and these cells were significantly more resistant to the drug in comparison to the control shRNA. Daunorubicin solute carrier family 22 member 1 Homo sapiens
