Abstract
⺠In an RBEC monolayer, LPS showed no effect on P-gp function. ⺠In the presence of microglia, LPS lowered P-gp function in RBECs. ⺠LPS-activated microglia induced P-gp dysfunction without altering its expression. ⺠An NADPH oxidase inhibitor reversed this effect of LPS-activated microglia. ⺠The decrease in P-gp activity in RBECs may be mediated by the NADPH oxidase pathway.
