Popis: We have shown that multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) mediates ATP-dependent extrusion of bilirubin, possibly limiting its potentially toxic accumulation in cells. To determine directly if Mrp1 protects cells against unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) toxicity, mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) were isolated from Mrp1 knockout (−/−) mice and their wild type (WT) (+/+) littermates. Compared to WT cells, cultured MEF (−/−) cells exposed to 40–140nM unbound [H3]-bilirubin accumulated twice as much [H3]-bilirubin (P
