(1) The occurrence of volume-regulatory responses in isolated rat hepatocytes was investigated. After hypotonic shock, cells were able to shrink back to their normal volume within 15 min. By contrast, after hypertonic shock cells kept their shrunken volume for at least 15 min. (2) Na+-alanine cotransport increases K+ permeability in rat hepatocytes (Kristensen, L.O. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 5236-5243). It is shown here that this effect is due to cell swelling secondary to alanine accumulation rather than to the Na+-alanine cotransport itself. 相似文献

Recent investigations have indicated that cellular rheogenic properties may interfere with the correct estimation of Na+ and amino transport stoichiometry. We have reevaluated the stoichiometry of Na+ and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (alpha-AIB) cotransport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells depleted of Na+ and ATP by incubation in Na+-free HEPES-buffered medium (pH 7.2) containing 160 mM K+ and 2.5 microM valinomycin. Transfer of the cells to a medium with 10 mM 22Na+, 10 mM 3H-AIB, and 150 mM K+ resulted in an enhancement of Na+ flux above basal levels, which represents 0.6 of the AIB uptake. Under these conditions the membrane potential, -7.0 +/- 0.1 mV (SEM), does not change with the addition of AIB, -7.3 +/- 0.6 mV (SEM). HgCl2 (10 microM) added to the medium inhibited AIB flux and AIB-stimulated Na+ flux by 45-50% but did not change the coupling ratio. HgCl2 (10 microM) does not inhibit the basal Na+ flux nor does it affect cellular Na+ or K+ content. In physiological medium cotransport is electrogenic. The membrane potential of Ehrlich cells in physiological medium is -22.3 +/- 0.8 mV (SEM) and depolarizes to -16.7 +/- 0.7 mV (SEM) upon addition of AIB. Under these conditions the coupling ratio was highly variable but the ratio of codepression is 0.90 +/- 0.02 (SEM) in the presence of HgCl2 (10 microM). These results are consistent with a model (Smith and Robinson, 1981) in which the stoichiometry is one cosubstrate molecule per molecule of alpha-AIB. We suggest that H+ provides the alternative cosubstrate in this low Na+ environment and that in high Na+ medium the Na+:AIB stoichiometry approaches 1:1. 相似文献

Membrane transport pathways for transplacental transfer of the water-soluble vitamin pantothenate were investigated by assessing the possible presence of a Na(+)-pantothenate cotransport mechanism in the maternal facing membrane of human placental epithelial cells. The presence of Na(+)-pantothenate cotransport was determined from radiolabeled tracer flux measurements of pantothenate uptake using preparations of purified brush-border membrane vesicles. Compared with other cations the imposition of an inward Na+ gradient stimulated vesicle uptake of pantothenate to levels approximately 40-fold greater than those observed at equilibrium. The observed stimulation of pantothenate uptake was not the result of indirect electrostatic coupling to an inside positive Na+ diffusion potential. In the absence of Na+ and pantothenate concentration gradients an inside negative voltage difference induced a Na(+)-dependent net influx of pantothenate, suggesting the presence of an electrogenic Na(+)-pantothenate cotransport mechanism. The effect of biotin on the kinetics of Na(+)-dependent pantothenate uptake and the effect of pantothenate on the kinetics of Na(+)-dependent biotin uptake suggested that placental absorption of biotin and pantothenate from the maternal circulation occurs by a common Na+ cotransport mechanism in apical brush-border membrane. 相似文献

Membrane transport pathways for transplacental transfer of the water-soluble vitamin biotin were investigated by assessing the possible presence of a Na(+)-biotin cotransport mechanism in the maternal-facing membrane of human placental epithelial cells. The presence of Na(+)-biotin cotransport was determined from radiolabeled tracer flux measurements of biotin uptake using preparations of purified brush-border membrane vesicles. The imposition of an inwardly directed Na+ gradient stimulated vesicle uptake of biotin to levels approximately 25-fold greater than those observed at equilibrium. The voltage sensitivity of Na+ gradient-driven biotin uptake suggested Na(+)-biotin cotransport is electrogenic occurring with net transfer of positive charge. A kinetic analysis of the activation of biotin uptake by increasing Na+ was most consistent with an interaction of Na+ at 2 sites in the transport protein. Static head determinations used to identify the magnitude of opposing driving forces bringing flux through the cotransport mechanism to equilibrium indicated a coupling ratio of 2 Na+ per biotin. Substrate specificity studies using chemical analogues of biotin suggested both the terminal carboxylic acid of the valeric acid side chain and a second nucleus of anionic charge were important determinants for substrate interaction with the cotransport protein. Initial rate determinations of biotin uptake indicate biotin interacts with a single saturable site (Km = 21 microM) with a maximal transport rate of 4.5 nmol/mg/min. The results of this study provide evidence for an electrogenic Na(+)-biotin cotransport mechanism in the maternal-facing membrane of human placental epithelial cells. 相似文献

Apical membrane vesicles isolated from a continuous renal cell line, LLC-PK1, catalyze electrogenic Na+-stimulated hexose transport and Na+-dependent binding of 3H-labeled 1-[2-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-4, 6-dihydroxyphenyl]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone [( 3H]phlorizin), a competitive ligand of this transport system. Phlorizin was not itself transported across the membrane and thus can serve as a probe of the binding step. The stoichiometry of Na+-dependent phlorizin binding in vesicles was 1:1, whereas Na+/hexose cotransport in vesicles exhibited a 2:1 stoichiometry. Na+ increased the affinity of phlorizin binding without affecting the total number of binding sites. An increased number of Na+-dependent phlorizin binding sites was observed under conditions of interior-negative membrane potential. These results are consistent with a model of the Na+/glucose cotransport cycle in which the unloaded transporter is negatively charged and its orientation influenced by membrane potential. Glucose and one sodium ion interact with the transporter, resulting in an uncharged complex. Binding of a second sodium ion triggers translocation of glucose and both sodium ions via formation of a loaded carrier complex bearing a single positive charge. 相似文献

The mechanism of pantothenate transport into rabbit renal brush-border membrane vesicles was studied. Under voltage-clamped conditions, an inward NaCl gradient induced the transient accumulation of pantothenate against its concentration gradient, indicating Na+/pantothenate cotransport. K+, Rb+, Li+, NH4+, and choline+ were ineffective in replacing Na+. Pantothenate analogs, D-glucose, and various carboxylic acids did not inhibit Na+-dependent pantothenate transport, suggesting that this system is specific for pantothenate. Kinetic analysis of the Na+-dependent pantothenate uptake revealed a single transport system which obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km = 16 microM and Vmax = 6.7 pmol X mg-1 X 10 s-1). Imposition of an inside-negative membrane potential caused net uphill pantothenate accumulation in the presence of Na+ but absence of a Na+ gradient, indicating that Na+/pantothenate cotransport is electrogenic. The relationship between extravesicular Na+ concentration and pantothenate transport measured under voltage-clamped conditions was sigmoidal: a Hill coefficient (napp) of 2 and a [Na+]0.5 of 55 mM were calculated. It is suggested that an anionic pantothenate1- molecule is cotransported with two Na+ to give a net charge of +1. The coupling of pantothenate transport to the Na+ electrochemical gradient may provide an efficient mechanism for reabsorption of pantothenate in the kidney. 相似文献

A new mathematical model of ion movements in airway epithelia is presented, which allows predictions of ion fluxes, membrane potentials and ion concentrations. The model includes sodium and chloride channels in the apical membrane, a Na/K pump and a cotransport system for Cl- with stoichiometry Na+:K+:2Cl- in the basolateral membrane. Potassium channels in the basolateral membrane are used to regulate cell volume. Membrane potentials, ion fluxes and intracellular ion concentration are calculated as functions of apical ion permeabilities, the maximum pump current and the cotransport parameters. The major predictions of the model are: (1) Cl- concentration in the cell is determined entirely by the intracellular concentration of negatively charged impermeable ions and the osmotic conditions; (2) changes in intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations are inversely related; (3) cotransport provides the major driving force for Cl- flux, increases intracellular Na+ concentration, decreases intracellular K+ concentration and hyperpolarizes the cell interior; (4) the maximum rate of the Na/K pump, by contrast, has little effect on Na+ or Cl- transepithelial fluxes and a much less pronounced effect on cell membrane polarization; (5) an increase in apical Na+ permeability causes an increase in intracellular Na+ concentration and a significant increase in Na+ flux; (6) an increase in apical Cl- permeability decreases intracellular Na+ concentration and Na+ flux; (7) assuming Na+ and Cl- permeabilities equal to those measured in human nasal epithelia, the model predicts that under short circuit conditions, Na+ absorption is much higher than Cl- secretion, in agreement with experimental measurements. 相似文献

Ambiguity exists with respect to mechanisms of glutathione (GSH) transport and the molecular identity of GSH transporters. Empirical and theoretical limitations have hindered functional and molecular characterizations. Published literature referring to the isolation and molecular identification of Na+-coupled GSH transporters that mediate the cellular uptake of GSH is highly debated. Whereas a number of functional and kinetic reports of this putative symport mechanism exist, the hypothetical transmembrane Na+-coupled GSH transporter protein or the genetic message encoding it has not been isolated. Theoretical thermodynamic calculations to support the concept of secondary active GSH transport and to rationalize accounts of physical-kinetic measurements describing Na+-coupled cellular GSH uptake were performed. The adequacy of requisite energy and stoichiometric conservation of the separate electrical and chemical components of a Na+ gradient in maintaining a high cellular accumulation gradient for GSH was examined through a purely phenomenological perspective. Dependent on the biological context, the energetic coupling between Na+ and GSH cotransport may occur at ratios from 1:1 to 3:1. Molecular identification of specific transporters responsible for cellular Na+-coupled GSH uptake will facilitate determination of their relative contribution to the overall plasma membrane resting potential. In tissues with a high GSH concentration relative to their extracellular milieu, particularly in pathologies of cystic fibrosis and dry eye syndromes, large energy coupling ratios in cotransport of Na+ and GSH may be expected. Na+-coupled GSH transport may play an important role in disease onset and (or) progression, or treatment modalities thereof. 相似文献

Sodium-dependent taurocholate uptake by isolated rat hepatocytes occurs through an electrogenic mechanism 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The uptake mechanism for the bile salt, taurocholate, by the liver cell is coupled to sodium but the stoichiometry is controversial. A one-to-one coupling ratio would result in electroneutral transport, whereas cotransport of more than one sodium ion with each taurocholate molecule cause an electrogenic response. To better define the uptake of this bile salt, we measured the effect of taurocholate on the membrane potential and resistance of isolated rat hepatocytes using conventional microelectrode electrophysiology. The addition of 20 microM taurocholate caused transient but significant depolarization accompanied by a significant decrease in membrane resistance. The electrical effect induced by taurocholate mimicked that induced by L-alanine (10 mM), the uptake of which is known to occur through an electrogenic, sodium-coupled mechanism. The sodium dependence of taurocholate-induced depolarization was further confirmed by: (1) replacing Na+ with choline +, and (2) preincubating cells with ouabain (2 mM) or with the Na+-ionophore, gramicidin (25 micrograms/ml); both suppressed the electrogenic response. Further, cholic acid, which inhibits sodium-coupled taurocholate uptake in hepatocytes, inhibited taurocholate evoked depolarization. These results support the hypothesis that sodium-coupled taurocholate uptake by isolated hepatocytes occurs through an electrogenic process which transports more than one Na+ with each taurocholate molecule. 相似文献

Type II alveolar epithelial cell monolayers have been shown to actively transport sodium (Na+). Coupling to amino acid uptake could be an important mechanism for Na+ entry into these cells. This study demonstrates the presence of such a coupled cotransport mechanism in the plasma membrane of isolated type II cells by use of the nonmetabolizable amino acid analogue alpha-methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB). Transport of MeAIB in 137 mM Na+ is saturable, with the uptake constant (Vmax) equaling 13.9 pmol X mg prot-1 X s-1 and the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) equaling 0.13 mM. In the presence of Na+, MeAIB is accumulated against a concentration gradient. MeAIB uptake in the absence of Na+ is linear with MeAIB concentration, as expected for simple diffusion. The Hill coefficient for Na+-MeAIB cotransport is 1.11, suggesting a 1:1 stoichiometry. Proline inhibits Na+-MeAIB cotransport, with Ki equaling 0.5 mM. These findings suggest that Na+-amino acid cotransport may be an important pathway for Na+ (and/or amino acid) uptake into type II alveolar epithelial cells. 相似文献

Endocytic uptake of [3H]sucrose and lucifer yellow, markers for fluid-phase endocytosis, was studied in cultures of the renal epithelial cell lines LLC-PK1 and OK. Endocytosis in LLC-PK1 cells was inhibited when the cells were grown in the presence of gentamicin (1 mg/ml) for 4 days or when the cells were treated with concanavalin A (1 mg/ml) for 5 h. These changes occurred without perturbation of intracellular Na+ and K+ content, indicating that the cells maintained normal ion gradients. The inhibition of endocytosis was accompanied by marked increases in the apparent Vmax for Na+-dependent cell uptake of solutes such as Pi and L-alanine. The apparent Km was unchanged. In contrast, treatment of OK cells with concanavalin A produced marked stimulation of endocytosis and inhibition of the Na+-dependent uptake of Pi and L-glutamate. These changes occurred in the absence of changes in intracellular Na+ and K+ content. Neither gentamicin nor concanavalin A had a direct effect on Na+/solute cotransport in these cell lines. The changes in Na+/Pi cotransport induced by concanavalin A in both LLC-PK1 and OK cells were blocked by keeping the cells at 4 degrees C during exposure to the lectin, suggesting that endocytosis may be part of the mechanism which mediates the changes in solute uptake. The reciprocal relationship between the changes in endocytosis and the changes in Na+/solute cotransport is consistent with the possibility that the number of Na+/solute cotransporters present in the plasma membrane may be altered by an increase or decrease in the rate of membrane internalization by endocytosis. The Vmax changes in Na+/solute cotransport provide indirect support for this conclusion. 相似文献

Ionic mechanism of Na+-HCO3- cotransport in rabbit renal basolateral membrane vesicles 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The exit of HCO3- across the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule cell occurs via the electrogenic cotransport of 3 eq of base per Na+. We have used basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit renal cortex to identify the ionic species transported via this pathway. Media of varying pH and pCO2 were employed to evaluate the independent effects of HCO3- and CO3(2-) on 22Na transport. Na+ uptake was stimulated when [CO3(2-)] was increased at constant [HCO3-], indicating the existence of a transport site for CO3(2-). In the presence of HCO3-, Na+ influx was stimulated more than 3-fold by an inward SO3(2-) gradient. SO3(2-)-stimulated Na+ influx was stilbene-sensitive, confirming that it occurs via the Na+-HCO3- cotransport system. Na+-SO3(2-) cotransport was demonstrated and found to have a 1:1 stoichiometry. Increasing [CO3(2-)] at constant [HCO3-] reduced the stimulation of Na+ influx by SO3(2-), suggesting competition between SO3(2-) and CO3(2-) at a common divalent anion site. Additional divalent anions that were tested, such as SO4(2-), oxalate2-, and HPO4(2-), did not interact at this site. SO3(2-) stimulation of Na+ influx was absolutely HCO3-(-)dependent and was increased as a function of [HCO3-], indicating the presence of a separate HCO3- site. Lastly, we tested whether Na+ interacts via ion pair formation with CO3(2-) or binds to a distinct site. Na+, which has lower affinity than Li+ for ion pair formation with CO3(2-), was found to have greater than 5-fold higher affinity than Li+ for the Na+-HCO3- cotransport system. Moreover, when its inhibition was studied as a function of [Na+], harmaline was found to be a competitive inhibitor of Na+ influx, indicating the existence of a distinct cation site. Our data are compatible with a model in which base transport across the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule cell takes place via 1:1:1 cotransport of CO3(2-), HCO3-, and Na+ on distinct sites. 相似文献

We expressed the mouse gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter GAT4 (homologous to rat/ human GAT-3) in Xenopus laevis oocytes and examined its functional and pharmacological properties by using electrophysiological and tracer uptake methods. In the coupled mode of transport (Na+/ Cl-/GABA cotransport), there was tight coupling between charge flux and GABA flux across the plasma membrane (2 charges/GABA). Transport was highly temperature-dependent with a temperature coefficient (Q10) of 4.3. The GAT4 turnover rate (1.5 s(-l); -50 mV, 21 degrees C) and temperature dependence suggest physiological turnover rates of 15-20 s(-1). No uncoupled current was observed in the presence of Na+. In the absence of external Na+, GAT4 exhibited two distinct uncoupled currents. (i) A Cl- leak current (ICl(leak)) was observed when Na+ was replaced with choline or tetraethylammonium. The reversal potential of (ICl(leak)) followed the Cl- Nernst potential. (ii) A Li+ leak current (ILi(leak)) was observed when Na+ was replaced with Li+. Both leak currents were inhibited by Na+, and both were temperature-independent (Q10 approximately 1). The two leak modes appeared not to coexist, as Li+ inhibited (ICl(leak)). The results suggest the existence of cation- and anion-selective channel-like pathways in GAT4. Flufenamic acid inhibited GAT4 Na+/Cl-/GABA cotransport, ILi(leak), and ICl(leak), (Ki approximately 30 microM), and the voltage-induced presteady-state charge movements (Ki approximately 440 microM). Flufenamic acid exhibited little or no selectivity for GAT1, GAT2, or GAT3. Sodium and GABA concentration jicroumps revealed that slow Na+ binding to the transporter is followed by rapid GABA-induced translocation of the ligands across the plasma membrane. Thus, Na+ binding and associated conformational changes constitute the rate-limiting steps in the transport cycle. 相似文献

The mechanism of HCO3- translocation across the proximal tubule basolateral membrane was investigated by testing for Na+-HCO3- cotransport using isolated membrane vesicles purified from rat renal cortex. As indicated by 22Na+ uptake, imposing an inwardly directed HCO3- concentration gradient induced the transient concentrative accumulation of intravesicular Na+. The stimulation of basolateral membrane vesicle Na+ uptake was specifically HCO3(-)-dependent as only basolateral membrane-independent Na+ uptake was stimulated by an imposed hydroxyl gradient in the absence of HCO3-. No evidence for Na+-HCO3- cotransport was detected in brush border membrane vesicles. Charging the vesicle interior positive stimulated net intravesicular Na+ accumulation in the absence of other driving forces via a HCO3(-)-dependent pathway indicating the flow of negative charge accompanies the Na+-HCO3- cotransport event. Among the anion transport inhibitors tested, 4-4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid demonstrated the strongest inhibitor potency at 1 mM. The Na+-coupled transport inhibitor harmaline also markedly inhibited HCO3- gradient-driven Na+ influx. A role for carbonic anhydrase in the mechanism of Na+-HCO3- cotransport is suggested by the modest inhibition of HCO3- gradient driven Na+ influx caused by acetazolamide. The imposition of Cl- concentration gradients had a marked effect on HCO3- gradient-driven Na+ influx which was furosemide-sensitive and consistent with the operation of a Na+-HCO3- for Cl- exchange mechanism. The results of this study provide evidence for an electrogenic Na+-HCO3- cotransporter in basolateral but not microvillar membrane vesicles isolated from rat kidney cortex. The possible existence of an additional basolateral membrane HCO3(-)-translocating pathway mediating Na+-HCO3- for Cl- exchange is suggested. 相似文献

In rat small intestine, the active transport of organic solutes results in significant depolarization of the membrane potential measured in an epithelial cell with respect to a grounded mucosal solution and in an increase in the transepithelial potential difference. According to the analysis with an equivalent circuit model for the epithelium, the changes in emf's of mucosal and serosal membranes induced by active solute transport were calculated using the measured conductive parameters. The result indicates that the mucosal cell membrane depolarizes while the serosal cell membrane remarkably hyperpolarizes on the active solute transport. Corresponding results are derived from the calculations of emf's in a variety of intestines, using the data that have hitherto been reported. The hyperpolarization of serosal membrane induced by the active solute transport might be ascribed to activation of the serosal electrogenic sodium pump. In an attempt to determine the causative factors in mucosal membrane depolarization during active solute transport, cell water contents and ion concentrations were measured. The cell water content remarkably increased and, at the same time, intracellular monovalent ion concentrations significantly decreased with glucose transport. Net gain of glucose within the cell was estimated from the restraint of osmotic balance between intracellular and extracellular fluids. In contrast to the apparent decreases in intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations, significant gains of Na+ and K+ occurred with glucose transport. The quantitative relationships among net gains of Na+, K+ and glucose during active glucose transport suggest that the coupling ratio between glucose and Na+ entry by the carrier mechanism on the mucosal membrane is approximately 1:1 and the coupling ratio between Na+-efflux and K+-influx of the serosal electrogenic sodium pump is approximately 4:3 in rat small intestine. In addition to the electrogenic ternary complex inflow across the mucosal cell membrane, the decreases in intracellular monovalent ion concentrations, the temporary formation of an osmotic pressure gradient across the cell membrane and the streaming potential induced by water inflow through negatively charged pores of the cell membrane in the course of an active solute transport in intestinal epithelial cells are apparently all possible causes of mucosal membrane depolarization. 相似文献

We re-examined the electrical and stoichiometric properties of the Na+-L-lactate cotransporter using highly purified brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from the whole cortex of rabbit kidney. A valinomycin-induced K+ diffusion potential (interior-negative) stimulated Na+ gradient-dependent L-lactate uptake. However, this stimulation reflected catalytic rather than energetic activation as an inside-negative membrane potential did not induce net uphill lactate accumulation in the presence of Na+ but in the absence of a Na+ concentration gradient. Additional evidence for electroneutrality of the cotransporter was the finding that, under voltage-clamped conditions, L-lactate flux was a hyperbolic function of extravesicular Na+ concentration with a Hill coefficient (n) of 1.0. Moreover, the plot of V/[Na+]n versus V was linear for n = 1, indicating that one Na+ ion is co-transported with an anionic lactate1- molecule. Finally, addition of L-lactate to vesicles under Na+ equilibrium conditions failed to generate an inside-positive membrane potential as monitored by 3,3'-dipropylthiodicarbocyanine iodide fluorescence quenching, arguing against Na+-L-lactate cotransport by an electrogenic process. Taken together, these data indicate that the luminal Na+-L-lactate co-transporter is electroneutral with a stoichiometry of 1. 相似文献

The data on erythrocyte membrane permeability for Na and K ions, obtained in the studies of Na+-K+ cotransport in erythrocytes of 38 patients with essential hypertension, stage I and II, 9 patients with borderline hypertension and 12 patients with symptomatic (renal) hypertension are reviewed. The data demonstrate that Na+-K+ cotransport in Na+ loaded and K+-depleted erythrocytes under the effect of P-chlormercuribenzoate was considerably reduced in patients with essential hypertension and borderline hypertension than in the control group. No deviations from the normal Na+-K+ cotransport were observed in renal hypertension. Disturbances of erythrocyte membrane permeability have been also revealed in practically healthy subjects (15 cases) with family history of hypertension. 相似文献

Transmembrane electroneutral transport mechanisms [e.g., Na/H exchange, Cl/HCO3 exchange, (K + Cl) cotransport] have recently been identified in a wide variety of cell types. If these exchanges sum to give a net electroneutral Na/K exchange, they may hyperpolarize the membrane potential beyond the value calculated from the Mullins-Noda equation, provided the cell maintains steady state intracellular ionic concentrations. In extreme circumstances, the membrane potential could hyperpolarize beyond the potassium reversal potential. This effect is mediated by the electrogenic Na/K pump. If either Na or K exchanges electroneutrally against a third ion (e.g., Na/Ca exchange), then the exchange may depolarize the membrane potential. 相似文献

We have tested for the effect of the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on Na+/phosphate cotransport in an established epithelial cell line of renal origin (LLC-PK1). Incubation of LLC-PK1 cells with TPA produced an increase in Na+/phosphate (Pi) cotransport. The maximal response was reached at a TPA concentration of 10 ng/ml. Other phorbol esters which have no potency or a smaller one to activate protein kinase C had no effect on Na+/Pi cotransport. Incubation of LLC-PK1 cells with 10 ng/ml TPA for 8 h led to a 300% increase in Na+/Pi cotransport; in the presence of cycloheximide the increase amounted only to a 100% and was reached within 2 h. Kinetic analysis of Na+/Pi cotransport indicated an increase in the apparent Vmax without an effect on the apparent Km. The increased Pi transport was retained in isolated apical vesicles. Na+-dependent alanine transport into LLC-PK1 monolayers was affected by TPA administration in a similar manner. TPA had under the chosen experimental conditions no effect on [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA excluding a general proliferative effect. We conclude that TPA via activation of protein kinase C regulates the number of operating transport systems. As also other Na+-coupled transport systems are influenced, the TPA effect appears to be related to the expression of a general 'adaptive' alteration of membrane transport in LLC-PK1 cells. 相似文献
