Functional expression of the organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 in rat astrocytes.
In this study, we sought to identify the transporters that mediate the uptake of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine in cultured rat cortical astrocytes. L-[(3)H]carnitine and acetyl-L-[(3)H]carnitine uptake were both saturable, and mediated by a single Na(+)-dependent transport system. Uptake of both was inhibited by L-carnitine, D-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine and various organic cations. Acyl...
متن کاملThe Role of Wnt Signaling Pathway on the Expression of TGFβ 1 and TGFβ 2 in Cultured Rat Cortical Astrocytes
Introduction: Astrocytes, the most abundant glia in the central nervous system, modulate neuronal survival and function. Astrocytic functions are mediated by synthesis and secretion of wide ranges of polypeptides through mechanism (s) poorly understood. Among these, TGFβs are synthesized and released by the astrocytes. In this study, the involvement of Wnt signaling pathway on the synthesi...
متن کاملExpression and functional characterization of rat organic anion transporter 3 (rOat3) in the choroid plexus.
We reported previously that an efficient efflux system for benzylpenicillin (PCG) is located on the choroid plexus (CP). In this study, we investigated the involvement of rat organic anion transporter 1 (rOat1; Slc22a6) and rOat3 (Slc22a8) in the uptake of PCG and p-aminohippurate (PAH) by the CP. Western blot analysis indicates the expression of rOat3, but not rOat1, on the CP, and immunohisto...

متن کاملOrganic cation/carnitine transporter (OCTN2) interaction proteome in rat astrocytes: Role of phosphatase PP2A
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, 22–25 nucleotide long transcripts that may suppress entire signaling pathways by interacting with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of coding mRNA targets, interrupting translation and inducing degradation of these targets. The long 3’-UTRs of brain transcripts compared to other tissues predict important roles for brain miRNAs. Supporting this notion, we found th...
