Physiological and pharmacological characterization of a molluscan neuronal efflux transporter; evidence for age-related transporter impairment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plasma membrane efflux transporters play crucial roles in the removal and release of both harmful and beneficial substances from the interior of cells and tissue types in virtually every extant species. They contribute to the clearance of a broad spectrum of exogenous and endogenous toxicants and harmful metabolites, including the reactive lipid aldehyde byproducts of lipid peroxidation that are a hallmark of cellular ageing. Here, we tested whether declining transporter functionality may contribute to functional decline in a snail model of neuronal ageing. Through measuring the removal of 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, a known substrate for membrane efflux transporters, we provide, for the first time, physiological evidence for the existence of probenecid-, MK571- and glutathione-sensitive efflux transporters in (gastropod) neurons and demonstrate that their functionality declines with age. Our data support the idea that waning cellular detoxification capacity might be a significant factor in the escalation of (lipo-)toxicity observed in neuronal ageing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
