چکیده

The choroid plexus (CP) acts as a site for the elimination of xenobiotic organic compounds from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of rat organic anion transporter 3 (rOat3; Slc22a8) in the uptake of H(2)-receptor antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine) by the isolated rat CP. Saturable uptake of cimetidine and ranitidine was observed in rOat3-LLC with K(m) values of 80 and 120 microM, respectively, whereas famotidine was found to be a poor substrate. The steady-state concentration of the H(2)-receptor antagonists in the CSF was significantly increased by simultaneously administered probenecid, although it did not affect their brain and plasma concentrations. Saturable uptake of cimetidine and ranitidine was observed in the isolated rat CP with K(m) values of 93 and 170 microM, respectively, whereas 50% of the uptake of famotidine remained at the highest concentration examined (1 mM). The K(i) value of ranitidine for the uptake of cimetidine by the isolated CP (50 microM) was similar to its own K(m) value, suggesting that they share the same transporter for their uptake. The inhibition potency of organic anions such as benzylpenicillin, estradiol 17beta-glucuronide, p-aminohippurate, and estrone sulfate for the uptake of cimetidine by the isolated rat CP was similar to that for benzylpenicillin, the uptake of which has been hypothesized to be mediated by rOat3, whereas a minimal effect by tetraethylammonium excludes involvement of organic cation transporter(s). These results suggest that rOat3 is the most likely candidate transporter involved in regulating the CSF concentration of H(2)-receptor antagonists at the CP.

Expression 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...

Organic anion transport in choroid plexus from wild-type and organic anion transporter 3 (Slc22a8)-null mice.

The choroid plexus actively transports endogenous, xenobiotic, and therapeutic compounds from cerebrospinal fluid to blood, thereby limiting their exposure to the central nervous system (CNS). Establishing the mechanisms responsible for this transport is critical to our understanding of basic choroid plexus physiology and will likely impact drug targeting to the CNS. We recently generated an or...

The antiepileptic drugs phenobarbital and carbamazepine reduce transport of methotrexate in rat choroid plexus by down-regulation of the reduced folate carrier.

Intrathecal methotrexate (MTX) has been associated with severe neurotoxicity. Because carrier-associated removal of MTX from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into blood remains undefined, we determined the expression and function of MTX transporters in rat choroid plexus (CP). MTX neurotoxicity usually manifests as seizures requiring therapy with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) such as phenobarbital (P...

Rapid elimination of cefaclor from the cerebrospinal fluid is mediated by a benzylpenicillin-sensitive mechanism distinct from organic anion transporter 3.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the carrier-mediated elimination of cephalosporins from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via the choroid plexus. Cefaclor and cefalexin are structural analogs with similar lipophilicity, differing by only one functional group (cefaclor, -Cl; cephalexin, -CH(3)), and they are substrates of rat peptide transporter PEPT2 with similar transport activities. ...

Dichotomous development of the organic anion transport protein in liver and choroid plexus.

Both adult liver and choroid plexus express the organic anion transport protein (oatp1) and transport [35S]bromosulfophthalein (BSP). Studies of the developing rat liver reveal that oatp1 mRNA and protein do not begin to be expressed until 15 days postnatal and are at adult levels by 30 days. Uptake of [35S]BSP follows the same time course. In contrast, neonatal rat choroid plexus expresses oat...
