With the advance of drug development and research techniques, the drug metabolic processes and mechanism can be more deeply achieved. As the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics process are mediated by drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, study of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters has become an important part for drug development. The traditional immunoassays with low sensitivity and poor specificity can not reflect the accurate expression level of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. We now give a brief review on the quantitative study of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters by mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach.

Objective To investigate the changes of silver-stainng protein of nuclear organizer regions(AgNORs)expression of T lymphocytes and helper T (Th) cell subsets in peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC) from cancer patients and to analyze the relationship between them.Methods AgNORs expression in T cells activated by a multiple clonal activator was examined using a special image system. After activation of PBMC with ionomycin plus PMA for 5 h, both interferon-? (IFN ?) and interleukin-4 (IL-4)producing cell frequencies were detected by enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT). The stimulated with ionomycin plus PMA for 24 h, the IFN ?-and IL-4-production were assayed by ELISA.Resuts AgNORs expression of activated T cells in PBMC from cancer patients (n=86) and healthy persons (n=44) was (4.90?1.20) I.S% and (7.82?1.28) I.S% respectively. Th2 frequency was significantly higher and the ratio of Th1 to Th2 frequency was more lower in cancer patient group. Moreover, the IFN ? and IL-4 production in cancer patient group were changed in the way similar to Th subset frequencies. In lung cancer patients the AgNORs expression, Th1 frequency, Th1/Th2 ratio and IFN ? production were significantly decreased in metastasis or in recurrence status,AgNORs expression in cancer patients correlated with their Th1 frequencies, Th1/Th2 ratio, IFN ? production levels and Karnofsky′s estimators.Conclusions In analyzed cancer patient cases, the expression of AgNORs and the function of Th1 cell were significantly decreased and correlated.
