Glibenclamide, ATP and metformin increases the expression of human bile salt export pump ABCB11.

ABSTRACT: Background: Bile salt export pump (BSEP/ABCB11) is important in the maintenance of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids and drugs. Drugs such as rifampicin and glibenclamide inhibit BSEP. Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type-2, a lethal pediatric disease, some forms of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and drug-induced cholestasis are associated with BSEP dysfunction.  Methods: We started with a bioinformatic approach to identify the relationship between ABCB11 and other proteins, microRNAs, and drugs. A microarray data set of the liver samples from ABCB11 knockout mice was analyzed using GEO2R. Differentially expressed gene pathway enrichment analysis was conducted using ClueGo. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using STRING appl
