OCTN2 is a bifunctional transporter that reabsorbs filtered carnitine in a sodium-dependent manner and secretes organic cations into urine as a proton antiport mechanism. We hypothesized that inhibition of OCTN2 by anticancer drugs can influence carnitine resorption. OCTN2-mediated transport inhibition by anticancer drugs was assessed using cells transfected with human OCTN2 (hOCTN2) or mouse Octn2 (mOctn2). Excretion of carnitine and acetylcarnitine was measured in urine collected from mice…

Using the high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell line TOV2223G, it is shown that OCT1 mediated the high affinity uptake of daunorubicin into the cells, and that micromolar amounts of choline completely abolished the drug entry.
SLC22A5 (OCTN2) Carnitine Transporter—Indispensable for Cell Metabolism, a Jekyll and Hyde of Human Cancer

SLC22A5 expression is altered in many types of cancer, giving an advantage to some of them by supplying carnitine for β-oxidation, thus providing an alternative to glucose source of energy for growth and proliferation.

A hypothesis about the molecular mechanism of polyspecific substrate recognition by OCTs is presented that is based on functional studies and mutagenesis experiments in OCT1 and OCT2 and provides a framework to imagine how observed complex drug–drug interactions at OCTs arise.

Cisplatin-Induced Downregulation of OCTN2 Affects Carnitine Wasting
- Biology, MedicineClinical Cancer Research

Cisplatin did not directly inhibit the transport of carnitine by Octn2 but downregulated multiple target genes of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α in the kidney of wild-type mice that were absent in Oct1/2(−/−) mice, suggesting that tubular transport of cisplatin is a prerequisite for this phenomenon.
