Popis: Organic cation transporters (OCTNs) can significantly affect drug disposition in alveolar epithelial cells (A549), but this process is not well understood. We investigated the expression and function of OCTN1/2 in A549 cells under different inflammatory status to examine pulmonary drug distribution. This experiment used lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated A549 cells to mimic inflammation in alveolar epithelial cells, and the expression of OCTN1/2, interleukin-6 (IL6), IL18, IL1β and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was investigated by western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The fluorescent compound 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)
