Functional significance of a highly conserved glutamate residue of the human noradrenaline transporter.
The aim of the study was to investigate the role of glutamate residue 113 in transmembrane domain 2 of the human noradrenaline transporter in determining cell surface expression and functional activity. This residue is absolutely conserved in all members of the Na+- and Cl--dependent transporter family. Mutations to alanine (hE113A), aspartate (hE113D) and glutamine (hE113Q) were achieved by si...

Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293) cells stably transfected with the human serotonin (5-HT) or dopamine transporter (hSERT, hDAT), or the rat GABA transporter GAT-1 were incubated with saturating concentrations of transporter substrates (hSERT: [H]5-HT, [H]N-methyl-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP1); hDAT: [H]dopamine, [H]MPP; rGAT: [H]GABA). Uptake velocities decreased signi®cantly over time for [H]5-...
متن کاملInvestigating Anticancer Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Bladder Cancer 5637 Cells in Comparison to Human Embryonic Kidney Normal Cells (HEK-293)
Background & aim: Nanotechnology is a modern research field with broad applications in cancer management. Among the various metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used in cancer therapy due to their promising anti-tumor properties. Despite the great advantages of AgNPs, their effects on normal cells have become a challenge. Besides, their anti-cancer effects have not previo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Iranian Snake ‘Macrovipera lebetina’ Venom Cytotoxicity in Kidney Cell Line HEK-293
Background:Envenomation by Macrovipera lebetina (M. lebetina) is characterized by prominent local tissue damage, hemorrhage, abnormalities in the blood coagulation system, necrosis, and edema. However, the main cause of death after a bite by M. lebetina has been attributed to acute renal failure (ARF). It is unclear whether the venom components have a direct or indirect action in causing ARF. T...
متن کاملDopamine Transporter Efflux in ADHD
Elevated dopamine efflux through the dopamine transporter may underlie some forms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to MazeiRobison et al. The authors identified a mutant form of dopamine transporter in two siblings with ADHD and expressed the mutant and wild-type forms in HEK-293T cells. Although expression levels and dopamine uptake were similar for mutant and wild...
