The effects of probenecid on the transport and metabolism of cyclic [14C]-AMP were studied in isolated rabbit kidney cortex tubules. Incubation in a medium with 10-400 microM probenecid for 30 min caused a 30-70% decrease in the tubular uptake of labeled material from a medium containing 0.1 mM cyclic [14C]AMP. The radioactivity in the tubules, after 30 min incubation, with or without probenecid, was mostly in the form of inosine and hypoxanthine. The disappearance of external cyclic [14C]AMP was retarded by probenecid and the concentration ratio of cyclic AMP to inosine + hypoxanthine was increased. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activities, from both the soluble and particulate fractions of the kidney, were inhibited by probenecid. These findings indicate that the changes caused by probenecid on the renal disposal of extracellular cyclic AMP can be accounted for by a decrease in the accumulation of the products of cyclic AMP metabolism secondary to inhibition of extracellular cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. 相似文献

The use of acetyl-3-pyridine and pyridine-3-sulfonic acid as analogues for nicotinic acid has been tested with tissue cultures of embryonic chick heart. Both roller tube and Carrel flask cultures were employed. Cell migration, appearance of the cells, and the uptake of tracer P32 were used as criteria for the action of the analogues. Migration of the cells could be inhibited by both compounds, but at different levels. Both produced abnormal types of cells, but not the same type of abnormality. Uptake of P32 was inhibited by both compounds. Addition of nicotinic acid failed to reverse the effects of the analogues at the concentrations used. 相似文献

delta-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) interferes with cell membrane and metabolic functions in a variety of tissues. To determine if ALA interacts with renal tubular transport functions, we examined concentrative transport of this heme precursor in rat kidneys. ALA was accumulated against a concentration gradient in rat renal cortical slices. Section freeze-dry autoradiography demonstrated selective accumulation in cells of proximal tubules. Concentrative uptake of ALA was inhibited by KCN, probenecid and p-aminohippurate (PAH). ALA inhibited slice uptake of PAH but failed to block slice accumulation of galactose, cycloleucine, lysine, glycine, proline, or alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and did not alter O2 utilization. Massive intraperitoneal injection of ALA did not increase 24 hr fractional excretion of amino acids in vivo. Concentrative transport of ALA in proximal tubules does not lead to generalized renal tubular transport defects but ALA appears to share the organic acid secretory system in rat kidney. 相似文献

Selective inhibition of sodium-linked and sodium-independent bicarbonate/chloride antiport in Vero cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of compounds previously described to inhibit anion transport were tested for their ability to inhibit anion antiport in Vero cells as measured by uptake of 36Cl- by chloride self-exchange and as bicarbonate-linked uptake of 22Na+. While 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid inhibited both processes, ethacrynic acid and probenecid selectively inhibited the uptake of 36Cl-. Low concentrations of pyridoxal phosphate and picrylsulfonic acid selectively inhibited the bicarbonate linked uptake of 22Na+, while higher concentrations of these compounds also inhibited the uptake of 36Cl-. Measurements of the internal pH indicated that ethacrynic acid inhibits Na+-independent HCO-3/Cl- exchange, while it has no measurable effect on Na+-linked bicarbonate-dependent regulation of the internal pH. Conversely, picrylsulfonic acid selectively inhibits the latter process. The results indicate that anion antiport in Vero cells occurs by two independent processes. 相似文献

A selective ion monitoring assay for probenecid (p-(dipropylsulfamyl)benzoic acid) using m-(di-isobutylsulfamyl)benzoic acid as an internal standard is described. The method has been applied to the determination of probenecid concentrations in human cerebrospinal fluid and lends itself to incorporation into the selective ion monitoring procedures used to quantitate other acidic and neutral compounds in such samples. 相似文献

The uptake of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside by slices of renal cortex was compared in normal and alloxan diabetic rabbits. Alloxanized rabbit tissue showed significantly higher levels of sugar accumulation than normal tissue. Diamide, which is known to oxidize intracellular glutathione (GSH), inhibited the uptake of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside by renal cortical slices. GSH stimulated sugar uptake and was also capable of reversing the inhibition of sugar accumulation caused by diamide. Mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol, which are commonly used thiol compounds, were not as effective as GSH in stimulating sugar uptake. The level of GSH found in normal and alloxan diabetics rabbit kidneys shows a slightly decreased cortical GSH content in alloxanized animals. One can conclude that GSH participates in sugar uptake in kidney slices from both diabetic and normal rabbits. 相似文献

The effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the transport of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid in separated tubules and purified brush border membranes from rabbit kidney was investigated using a rapid filtration procedure. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP stimulated the uptake of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid by separated renal tubules in agreement iwth prior studies utilizing renal slices (Rea, C. and Segal, S. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 311, 615--624; Weiss, I.W., Morgan, K. and Phang, J.M. (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 760--764). However, in contrast to previous reports, no preincubation of the tissue with dibutyryl cyclic AMP was required for stimulation of transport to be manifest. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP stimulated oxygen consumption by separated tubules suggesting that stimulation of transport may occur by a linkage with renal oxidative metabolism. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP increased the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid into purified renal brush border membranes. However the uptakes of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, proline, leucine and phosphate into brush border membranes were significantly inhibited. 相似文献

Secondary hyperparathyroidism has been attributed to be responsible for the generalized aminoaciduria and phosphaturia of vitamin D deficiency. Since PTH acts in the kidney to generate cAMP, we explored the possibility that its synthetic analog, dbcAMP, would alter the renal transport of taurine (an amino acid lost in the urine in vitamin D deficiency) and Pi. Exposure of renal BBMV prepared from normal and vitamin D-calcium-deficient rats to dbcAMP at concentrations ranging between 10(-4) and 10(-7) M did not alter taurine uptake by these vesicles. Higher dbcAMP concentrations blunted uptake, but these concentrations reduced intravesicular volume, thus representing an artifact of osmolarity. Preincubation of BBMV with dbcAMP for times between 0 and 60 min at 0 or 25 degrees C also did not alter taurine accumulation. Hypotonic lysis of BBMV, allowing entry of the cyclic nucleotide, followed by isotonic resealing did not influence taurine uptake. The addition of potassium fluoride (to inhibit phosphodiesterase activity) and ATP (as an energy source) did not alter taurine accumulation at 60 sec. The uptake of Pi, which is influenced by PTH, was decreased by 25% following exposure to dbcAMP on the internal surface of the vesicle. These data indicate that the taurinuria observed in vitamin D deficiency is unlikely to be related to a PTH-induced increase in intracellular cAMP, unlike the changes in Pi transport, which is sensitive to cyclic nucleotides. 相似文献

To assess further the mechanism by which prostacyclin inhibits acid secretion, the actions of two stable prostacyclin analogues on parietal cell function and cyclic AMP formation were tested using enzymatically dispersed cells from canine fundic mucosa. Accumulation of 14C-aminopyrine (AP) was used as an index of parietal cell response to stimulation. The 16-phenoxy derivative of PGI2 inhibited accumulation of AP stimulated by histamine (10 μM), with 50% inhibition (ID50) at 10 nM. 6β-PGI1 also inhibited the action of histamine (ID50 0.5μM) but failed to block stimulation by carbachol or the dibutyryl derivative of cyclic AMP (dbcAMP). In similiar concentrations to those producing inhibition of histamine-stimulated AP accumulation, the 16-phenoxy analogue and 6β-PGI1 inhibited histamine-stimulated cyclic AMP generation by parietal cells. At 100 fold higher concentrations, 6β-PGI1 stimulated cyclic AMP formation, presumably in non-parietal cells. Even in high concentrations the 16-phenoxy analogue failed to increase cyclic AMP formation by mucosal cells. These data indicate that the stable prostacyclin analogues are potent, direct inhibitors of histamine-stimulated parietal cell function and that it is the inhibition, rather than the stimulation, of cyclic AMP formation that is linked to the antisecretory actions of these prostanoid compounds. 相似文献

Possible mechanisms accounting for the inhibition of acid secretion by prostaglandins were studied using cells dispersed from canine fundic mucosa by enzymes and enriched in the content of parietal cells by elutriation. The accumulation of 14C-aminopyrine (AP) was used as an index of parietal cell response to stimulation. PGE2 inhibited histamine-stimulated AP uptake, with 50% inhibition (ID50) found at 10 nM, but did not block the response to carbachol, gastrin, or dibuturyl cyclic AMP. PGE2 did, however, inhibit aminopyrine uptake stimulated by carbachol and gastrin when the response to these agents was potentiated by histamine. PGE2, at namomolar concentrations, also inhibited histamine-stimulated cyclic AMP production. When mucosal cells were treated with only PGE2 at concentrations above 1 μM, stimulation of cyclic AMP production was found. In cell separation studies with the elutriator rotor, PGE2 appeared to stimulate cyclic AMP production primarily in nonparietal cells.Prostacyclin (PGI2) and two stable analogues, 6β-PGI1 and the 16-phenoxy analogue (5α)5,9-epoxy-16-phenoxy-PGF1, also specifically inhibited histamine-stimulated AP accumulation. PGI2 required relatively high concentrations for this effect (ID50 = 1 μM), whereas the 16 phenoxy derivative was much more potent in its inhibition of histamine-stimualted AP accumulation (ID50 = 10 nM), with this difference probably accounted for by the rapid degradation of PGI2 compared to the stable 16-phenoxy analogue. All three of these prostanoids also inhibited histamine-stimulated cyclic AMP production. As was found with PGE2, at high concentrations and in the absence of histamine PGI2 and PGI1 also stimulated cyclic AMP production. However, the 16-phenoxy analogue failed to stimulate cyclic AMP production either in the parietal cell enriched fractions or in the nonparietal cell fractions.These data indicate that PGE2 and prostacyclin analogues are potent, direct and specific inhibitors of histamine-stimulated parietal cell function and that it is the inhibition, rather than the stimulation, of cyclic AMP formation that is linked to the antisecretory actions of the prostanoid compounds. 相似文献

Because of its membrane-impermeant-properties Lucifer Yellow-CH (LY) is regarded by animal cell biologists as an ideal tracer for fluid-phase endocytosis. When presented to plant cells or protoplasts this fluoroprobe accumulates in the vacuole. On the other hand there are many cases where LY does not enter the vacuole when loaded into the plant cytosol. These, superficially divergent, results have previously been explained in terms of endocytosis whereby access to the vacuole is considered to occur through vesicle transport. This interpretation has now been challenged in three recent papers where the benzoic acid derivative, probenecid, has been shown to prevent vacuolar LY accumulation in plants. Since probenecid is a well-known inhibitor of organic anion transport in animal cells it has been argued that anion carriers capable of transporting LY might also exist at the plasma membrane and tonoplast of plant cells. Unfortunately probenecid has rarely, if ever, been used in plant transport studies. The fact that it is a weak acid, whose inhibitory effects are observed at concentrations of around 1 mM suggests that caution should prevail when interpreting results obtained with probenecid. The purpose of this article is therefore to highlight the current controversy surrounding LY uptake by plants and to critically evaluate the recent probenecid data. 相似文献

The organic anion salicylate is a plant secondary metabolite that can protect plants against herbivores. Transport of salicylate across the basolateral membrane of the Malpighian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster was studied using a radioisotope tracer technique. The uptake of [(14)C]salicylate by the Malpighian tubules was active, saturable and Na(+)-dependent; the maximum uptake rate (J(max)) and the half saturation concentration (K(t)) were 12.6 pmoltubule(-1)min(-1) and 30.7micromoll(-1), respectively. In contrast to organic anion transport by vertebrate renal tissues, salicylate uptake was not trans-stimulated by glutarate (0.01-1.0 mmoll(-1)) or cis-inhibited by high concentrations (5 mmoll(-1)) of various alpha-keto acids (glutaric acid, alpha-ketoglutaric acid, succinic acid, and citric acid). Changes in basolateral membrane potential or physiologically relevant changes in bathing saline pH did not affect the rate of [(14)C]salicylate uptake. Ring-structure monocarboxylic acids (benzoic acid, nicotinic acid, gentisic acid, unlabelled salicylic acid, alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, probenecid, fluorescein, and P-aminohippuric acid) strongly inhibited [(14)C]salicylate uptake rate. In contrast, short-chain monocarboxylic acids had little (butyric acid) or no effect (lactic acid, pyruvic acid, and propionic acid). Our results suggest that salicylate uptake across the basolateral membrane of D. melanogaster Malpighian tubules is mediated by a non-electrogenic, alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid-sensitive, Na(+):salicylate cotransport system. 相似文献

The present work was carried out to investigate the transport characteristics of gossypol, a toxic weak organic acid (pK = 7.2) contained in cottonseed, into the rabbit renal cortical slice. The uptake of gossypol increased linearly during a 2-hr incubation after which it leveled off with the average slice-to-medium concentration ratio (S/M) slightly above 20. In the presence of metabolic inhibitors, the S/M gossypol leveled off at about 9, suggesting an extensive binding of gossypol to tissue proteins. The uptake of gossypol was significantly inhibited by p-aminohippurate (PAH), probenecid, ouabain, and DIDS, all of which are known inhibitors of renal organic anion transport. However, the gossypol uptake was not affected by tetraethylammonium (TEA), a prototypical organic cation. Kinetic studies indicated that the apparent Km for gossypol transport is 0.28 mM, and also that probenecid inhibits gossypol transport in a competitive manner. It is concluded that gossypol is transported by the renal tubule through the classic organic anion system. 相似文献

The organic anion p-aminohippurate (PAH) is specifically secreted by the renal proximal tubule. The possibility was examined that the probenecid sensitive PAH transport system (which is involved in this secretory process in renal proximal tubule cells in vivo) is retained in primary cultures of rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. Significant 3H-PAH uptake into primary cultures of proximal tubule cells was observed. After 10 min, 150 pmole PAH/mg protein had accumulated intracellularly. Given an intracellular fluid volume of 10 microliter/mg protein, the intracellular PAH concentration was estimated to be 15 microM. The initial rate of PAH uptake (when 50 microM PAH was in the uptake buffer) was inhibited 50% by 2 mM probenecid. Intact monolayers also exhibited Na+-dependent alpha methyl-D-glucoside uptake (an apical marker). Basolateral membranes were purified from primary rabbit kidney proximal tubule cell cultures. Probenecid sensitive PAH uptake into the membrane vesicles derived from the primary cultures was observed. The rate of PAH uptake was equivalent to that obtained with vesicles obtained from the rabbit renal cortex. No significant Na+-dependent D-glucose uptake into the vesicles was observed, indicating that primarily basolateral membrane vesicles had indeed been obtained. 相似文献

Cerebral Astrocytes Transport Ascorbic Acid and Dehydroascorbic Acid Through Distinct Mechanisms Regulated by Cyclic AMP 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3

Abstract: Cerebral ischemia and trauma lead to rapid increases in cerebral concentrations of cyclic AMP and dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA; oxidized vitamin C), depletion of intracellular ascorbic acid (AA; reduced vitamin C), and formation of reactive astrocytes. We investigated astrocytic transport of AA and DHAA and the effects of cyclic AMP on these transport systems. Primary cultures of astrocytes accumulated millimolar concentrations of intracellular AA when incubated in medium containing either AA or DHAA. AA uptake was Na+ -dependent and inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), whereas DHAA uptake was Na+ -independent and DIDS-insensitive. DHAA uptake was inhibited by cytochalasin B, d -glucose, and glucose analogues specific for facilitative hexose transporters. Once inside the cells, DHAA was reduced to AA. DHAA reduction greatly decreased astrocytic glutathione concentration. However, experiments with astrocytes that had been previously depleted of glutathione showed that DHAA reduction does not require physiological concentrations of glutathione. Astrocyte cultures were treated with a permeant analogue of cyclic AMP or forskolin, an activator of adenylyl cyclase, to induce cellular differentiation and thus provide in vitro models of reactive astrocytes. Cyclic AMP stimulated uptake of AA, DHAA, and 2-deoxyglucose. The effects of cyclic AMP required at least 12 h and were inhibited by cycloheximide, consistent with a requirement for de novo protein synthesis. Uptake and reduction of DHAA by astrocytes may be a recycling pathway that contributes to brain AA homeostasis. These results also indicate a role for cyclic AMP in accelerating the clearance and detoxification of DHAA in the brain. 相似文献

The excised intestines of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, were perfused at 20 or 4 degrees C for 1 h 45 min, with methylmercury (CH(3)HgCl) alone, or in the presence of excess L-cysteine (L-Cys), D-cysteine (D-Cys), L-methionine (L-Met); or with ouabain or probenecid to identify the potential CH(3)Hg(II) uptake pathways in fish intestines. A temperature effect was noted, with CH(3)Hg(II) concentrations in tissues perfused at 20 degrees C being higher than at 4 degrees C, substantiating the idea that mechanisms requiring metabolic energy are involved in CH(3)Hg(II) uptake in fish intestines. The results indicate that, when CH(3)Hg(II) is complexed as the CH(3)Hg-L-Cys complex, it is taken up via an L-neutral amino acid carrier and rapidly transported to the serosal side of the intestine. Methylmercury uptake could be inhibited by probenecid and ouabain, although probenecid had less impact on CH(3)Hg(II) uptake than ouabain. Our results for CH(3)Hg(II) uptake in the presence of D-Cys, L-Met in excess of L-Cys, or with a metal mixture further established that CH(3)Hg(II) uptake across fish intestines occurs via a variety of pathways, including an energy-dependent L-neutral amino acid carrier, and that the route and amount of accumulation were a function of CH(3)Hg(II) speciation in the digestive tract of the fish. 相似文献

The mechanism of uptake of benzoic and 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid (2,4-DCBA) by Alcaligenes denitrificans BRI 3010 and BRI 6011 and Pseudomonas sp. strain B13, three organisms capable of degrading various isomers of chlorinated benzoic acids, was investigated. In all three organisms, uptake of benzoic acid was inducible. For benzoic acid uptake into BRI 3010, monophasic saturation kinetics with apparent K(infm) and V(infmax) values of 1.4 (mu)M and 3.2 nmol/min/mg of cell dry weight, respectively, were obtained. For BRI 6011, biphasic saturation kinetics were observed, suggesting the presence of two uptake systems for benzoic acid with distinct K(infm) (0.72 and 5.3 (mu)M) and V(infmax) (3.3 and 4.6 nmol/min/mg of cell dry weight) values. BRI 3010 and BRI 6011 accumulated benzoic acid against a concentration gradient by a factor of 8 and 10, respectively. A wide range of structural analogs, at 50-fold excess concentrations, inhibited benzoic acid uptake by BRI 3010 and BRI 6011, whereas with B13, only 3-chlorobenzoic acid was an effective inhibitor. For BRI 3010 and BRI 6011, the inhibition by the structural analogs was not of a competitive nature. Uptake of benzoic acid by BRI 3010 and BRI 6011 was inhibited by KCN, by the protonophore 3,5,3(prm1), 4(prm1)-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS), and, for BRI 6011, by anaerobiosis unless nitrate was present, thus indicating that energy was required for the uptake process. Uptake of 2,4-DCBA by BRI 6011 was constitutive and saturation uptake kinetics were not observed. Uptake of 2,4-DCBA by BRI 6011 was inhibited by KCN, TCS, and anaerobiosis even if nitrate was present, but the compound was not accumulated intracellularly against a concentration gradient. Uptake of 2,4-DCBA by BRI 6011 appears to occur by passive diffusion into the cell down its concentration gradient, which is maintained by the intracellular metabolism of the compound. This process could play an important role in the degradation of xenobiotic compounds by microorganisms. 相似文献

The effects of cadmium-metallothionein (Cd-MT) on organic ion uptake in renal cortical slices and lipid peroxidation in the kidney were studied in rats. For in vitro studies, slices were prepared from kidneys of control animals and incubated in buffer containing either cadmium chloride (CdCl2) or Cd-MT in equimolar Cd concentrations ranging from 5 × 10?6 to 2 × 10?4 M. Uptake into the slices of the organic anion p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) was found to be inhibited by both forms of Cd in a dose-dependent manner. Although this inhibition was slightly greater in the presence of Cd-MT, accumulation of Cd into the slices was approximately 12 times greater with CdCl2 than Cd-MT. Tetraethylammonium (TEA) uptake was less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of both CdCl2 and Cd-MT, although a dose-dependent inhibition did occur with higher Cd concentrations. To study the in vivo effects of Cd-MT on transport function and lipid peroxidation in the kidney, rats were injected with Cd-MT (0.3 mg Cd per kilogram body weight [bw]) and sacrificed at specific time intervals. Similar to the in vitro studies, PAH uptake into the renal cortical slices was markedly inhibited within 12 hours after Cd-MT injection whereas inhibition of TEA uptake was less and not observed until 48 hours after injection. Only a small increase (1.4-fold) in lipid peroxidation, as measured by generation of malondialdehyde (MDA), in the kidney was detected at four hours postinjection, and no further increase was observed at later time periods. The results suggest that Cd-MT affects the transport of organic anions and cations during its renal uptake but that lipid peroxidation may play only a minor role in Cd-MT-induced renal toxicity. 相似文献

We examined the mechanism of prostaglandin E2 transport in rabbit renal basolateral membrane vesicles which were predominantly oriented right-side-out. In the presence of an inwardly directed H+ gradient, the initial rate of uptake was markedly accelerated and the influx of prostaglandin E2 resulted in a transient accumulation (overshoot) above the equilibrium value. Both H+-independent and H+-stimulated prostaglandin E2 uptake were shown to be insensitive to valinomycin-induced K+ diffusion potentials. Intravesicular probenecid inhibited the pH gradient-stimulated uptake of prostaglandin E2 but did not affect the pH-stimulated uptake of thiocyanate and acetate which enter membranes via ionic and nonionic diffusion, respectively. Finally, the existence of a Na+ cotransport or of a K+ antiport pathway for prostaglandin E2 could not be demonstrated. Thus, these data demonstrate the presence of an electrically neutral H+-prostaglandin E2 cotransport or OH- -prostaglandin E2 antiport mechanism in the basolateral membrane of the rabbit proximal tubule. 相似文献
