Abstract: | Intestinal epithelial membrane transport of L-lactic acid was characterized using rabbit jejunal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs). The uptake of L-[(14)C]lactic acid by BBMVs showed an overshoot phenomenon in the presence of outward-directed bicarbonate and/or inward-directed proton gradients. Kinetic analysis of L-[(14)C]lactic acid uptake revealed the involvement of two saturable processes in the presence of both proton and bicarbonate gradients. An arginyl residue-modifying agent, phenylglyoxal, inhibited L-[(14)C]lactic acid transport by the proton cotransporter, but not by the anion antiporter. The initial uptakes of L-[(14)C]lactic acid which are driven by bicarbonate ion and proton gradients were inhibited commonly by monocarboxylic acids and selectively by anion exchange inhibitor 4, 4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and protonophore carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, respectively. These observations demonstrate that L-lactic acid is transported across the intestinal brush-border membrane by multiple mechanisms, including an anion antiporter and a previously known proton cotransporter. |
