Effect of arsenic on neural tube in mouse embryo and relation to reduced folate carrier (RFC-1)
Arsenic is an important environmental toxicant which is usually found in drinking water in inorganic form. The hypothesis tested in this investigation is; arsenic exposure causes neural tube defects (NTDs) andthese defects of the central nervous system are more likely related to folate deficiency during fetal life. In this study, sodium arsenate was administered via intraperitoneal route at a r...
متن کاملRole of reduced folate carrier in intestinal folate uptake.
Studies from our laboratory and others have characterized different aspects of the intestinal folate uptake process and have shown that the reduced folate carrier (RFC) is expressed in the gut and plays a role in the uptake process. Little, however, is known about the actual contribution of the RFC system toward total folate uptake by the enterocytes. Addressing this issue in RFC knockout mice ...
متن کاملFunctional Activity of the Reduced Folate Carrier in KB, MA104, and IGROV-I Cells Expressing Folate-binding Protein1
The role of a membrane-associated folate binding protein (mFBP) in transport of folate analogues was investigated in three epithelial cell lines that were grown in high folate medium and folate-conditioned medium and express different levels of mFBP: human nasopharyngeal KB cells, monkey kidney MA 104 cells, and IGROV-I ovarian carcinoma cells. Folate analogues were selected for which mFBP exhi...

متن کاملFolate receptor and human reduced folate carrier expression in HepG2 cell line exposed to fumonisin B1 and folate deficiency.
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) induces apoptosis and decreases the cellular uptake of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Two folate transporters (folate receptor, FR, and Reduced Folate Carrier, hRFC1) are involved in the cell uptake of folate. We aimed to study whether FB1 modifies the expression of the FR and the hRFC1 and whether its apoptotic effect is influenced by folate. Incubation of HepG2 cells with FB1 in...
