Characterization of cloned mouse Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide by transient expression in COS-7 cells.

چکیده
The mouse Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide transiently expressed in COS-7 cells caused sodium-dependent uptake of [3H]taurocholic acid with Km and Vmax values of 18 microM and 102 pmol/mg protein/min, respectively. This Km value is comparable to that for rat NTCP and higher than that for human NTCP. Substrate specificity was evaluated by measuring inhibitory effects of unlabeled bile acids on [3H]taurocholic acid transport.

Characterization of the transport properties of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1 (oatp1) and Na(+)/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp): comparative studies on the inhibitory effect of their possible substrates in hepatocytes and cDNA-transfected COS-7 cells.
In the present study, we compared the inhibitory effects of organic anions (including bile acids) on the uptake of taurocholate (TC) and estradiol 17beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), typical substrates for sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) and organic anion transporting polypeptide (oatp1), respectively, using primary cultured rat hepatocytes and Ntcp- or oatp1-transfected C...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of the rat liver Na+-bile salt cotransporter in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in CHO cells.
It has been proposed that the hepatocellular Na+-dependent bile salt uptake system exhibits a broad substrate specificity in intact hepatocytes. In contrast, recent expression studies in mammalian cell lines have suggested that the cloned rat liver Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) may transport only taurocholate. To characterize its substrate specificity Ntcp was stably transf...
متن کاملContribution of sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide to the uptake of its possible substrates into rat hepatocytes.
As one of the Na+-dependent transporters responsible for the hepatic uptake of ligands, sodium taurocholate (TC) co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) has been cloned from rat liver and its substrate specificity has been clarified by examining the inhibition of TC uptake mediated by NTCP. The contribution of NTCP to the Na+-dependent uptake of ligands into rat hepatocytes, however, still needs to ...
متن کاملDecreased expression of cytochromes P450 1A2, 2E1, and 3A4 and drug transporters Na+-taurocholate-cotransporting polypeptide, organic cation transporter 1, and organic anion-transporting peptide-C correlates with the progression of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C patients.
Patients with chronic hepatitis C viral infection underwent liver biopsies and laboratory studies for evaluation and to determine subsequent treatment. Changes in status of drug metabolism and disposition may vary with chronic hepatitis C stage and should be assessed. Total RNA was extracted from liver biopsy specimens (n = 63) and reverse transcribed to yield cDNA. Relative mRNA levels of drug...
متن کاملProtein kinase C induces endocytosis of the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide.
Bile salts influence signaling and metabolic pathways. In hepatocytes, the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) is a major determinant of intracellular bile salt levels. Short-term downregulation of Ntcp is not well characterized to date. FLAG and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) tags were cloned to the extra- and intracellular termini of Ntcp. Endocytosis of Ntcp in t...
