Studies of the expression and characterization of various transport systems at RBE4 cells, an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier / Studien zur Expression und Charakterisierung verschiedener Transport Systeme an RBE4 Zellen, einem in vitro Modell der Blut-Hirn SchrankeFriedrich, Anne 05 July 2003 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was the investigation of several transport systems expressed at the BBB. The identification and functional characterization of such transport systems is essential to provide a basis for strategies to regulate drug disposition into the brain. Immortalized rat brain endothelial cells (RBE4 cells) have been used in this study as an in vitro model of the BBB. The present study has shown that the RBE4 cells are a suitable model of the BBB for transporter studies. These cells do express the amino acid transport systems L and y+, which are known to be present at the BBB. The uptake of L-tryptophan, a neutral amino acid transported by system L, exhibited a half saturation constant (Kt) of 31 µM and a maximal velocity rate (Vmax) of about 1 nmol/mg/min in RBE4 cells. The kinetic constants of the L-arginine uptake, representing system y+ transport activity, into RBE4 cells were determined with a Kt value of about 55 µM and a Vmax of 0.56 nmol/mg/min. Furthermore the expression of two sodium dependent transporters, the 5-HT transporter (SERT) and the organic cation/carnitine transporter OCTN2, was shown at the RBE4 cells. Uptake studies with radiolabeled 5-HT exhibited a saturable, sodium dependent transport at RBE4 cells with a Kt value of about 0.40 µM and a Vmax of about 52 fmol/mg/min. L-carnitine and TEA (tetraethylammonium) are known to be transported by the OCTN2 transporter. The uptake of L-carnitine into RBE4 cells was shown to be sodium dependent and saturable with a Kt value of 54 µM and a maximal velocity of about 3.6 pmol/mg/min. In contrast, the organic cation TEA follows a sodium independent uptake mechanism at RBE4 cells. Also a sodium independent choline uptake into the cells was discovered but the molecular identity remained unknown. This saturable choline transport exhibited a Kt value of about 22 µM and a maximal velocity of about 52 pmol/mg/min.
