Bile salts are predominantly taken up by hepatocytes via the basolateral Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP/SLC10A1) and secreted into the bile by the bile salt export pump (BSEP/ABCB11). In the present study, we transfected rat Ntcp and rat Bsep into polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells and characterized the transport properties of these cells for eight bile salts. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that Ntcp was expressed at the basolateral domains, whereas Bsep was expressed at the apical domains. Basal-to-apical transport of taurocholate across the monolayer expressing only Ntcp and that coexpressing Ntcp/Bsep was observed, whereas the flux across the monolayer of control and Bsep-expressing cells was symmetrical. Basal-to-apical transport of taurocholate across Ntcp/Bsep-coexpressing monolayers was significantly higher than that across monolayers expressing only Ntcp. Kinetic analysis of this vectorial transport of taurocholate gave an apparent Km value of 13.9 ± 4.7 μM for cells expressing Ntcp alone, which is comparable with 22.2 ± 4.5 μM for cells expressing both Ntcp and Bsep and Vmax values of 15.8 ± 4.2 and 60.8 ± 9.0 pmol·min−1·mg protein−1 for Ntcp alone and Ntcp and Bsep-coexpressing cells, respectively. Transcellular transport of cholate, glycocholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, chenodeoxycholate, glycochenodeoxycholate, tauroursodeoxycholate, ursodeoxycholate, and glycoursodeoxycholate, but not that of lithocholate was also observed across the double transfectant. This double-expressing system can be used as a model to clarify vectorial transport of bile salts across hepatocytes under physiological conditions.

Na+-taurocholate-cotransporting peptide (NTCP)/SLC10A1 and bile salt export pump (BSEP)/ABCB11 synergistically play an important role in the transport of bile salts by the hepatocyte. In this study, we transfected human NTCP and BSEP or rat Ntcp and Bsep into LLC-PK1 cells, a cell line devoid of bile salts transporters. Transport by these cells was characterized with a focus on substrate specificity between rats and humans. The basal to apical flux of taurocholate across NTCP- and BSEP-expressing LLC-PK1 monolayers was 10 times higher than that in the opposite direction, whereas the flux across the monolayer of control and NTCP or BSEP single-expressing cells did not show any vectorial transport. The basal to apical flux of taurocholate was saturated with a Km value of 20 μM. Vectorial transcellular transport was also observed for cholate, chenodeoxycholate, ursodeoxycholate, their taurine and glycine conjugates, and taurodeoxycholate and glycodeoxycholate, whereas no transport of lithocholate was detected. To evaluate the respective functions of NTCP and BSEP and to compare them with those of rat Ntcp and Bsep, we calculated the clearance by each transporter in this system. A good correlation in the clearance of the examined bile salts (cholate, chenodeoxycholate, ursodeoxycholate, and their taurine or glycine conjugates) was observed between transport by human and that of rat transporters in terms of their rank order: for NTCP, taurine conjugates > glycine conjugates > unconjugated bile salts, and for BSEP, unconjugated bile salts and glycine conjugates > taurine conjugates. In conclusion, the substrate specificity of human and rat NTCP and BSEP appear to be very similar at least for monovalent bile salts under physiological conditions.

Abstract Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that acts in specific regions of the brain to regulate body weight and neuroendocrine function. The mechanism by which leptin enters the brain is unknown. We previously reported that rat brain microvessels, which constitute the blood-brain barrier, contain large amounts of messenger RNA encoding a short form of the leptin receptor (ObRa), suggesting that this site may be important for receptor-mediated transport of leptin into the brain. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ObRa is capable of transcellular transport of intact leptin. A transwell system in which Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells stably expressing ObRa are grown in a monolayer was used to determine receptor distribution on apical or basolateral cell surfaces and the capacity for directional transport of 125I-leptin. Binding of 125I-leptin was greater on the apical vs. the basolateral cell surface and transport of 125I-leptin occurred only in the apical to basolateral direction. 11% of transported radioactivity appearing in the basolateral chamber represented intact leptin as assessed by TCA precipitation analysis and by SDS-PAGE. Parental MDCK cells did not express leptin receptors and did not bind or transport 125I-leptin. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and transport via endogenous EGF receptors in MDCK cells also was assessed. In contrast to leptin, specific binding of 125I-EGF occurred primarily on the basolateral cell surface and transport of 125I-EGF occurred predominantly in the basolateral to apical direction. These data show that ObRa is preferentially targeted to the apical cell membrane in MDCK cells and that leptin transport occurs, albeit at a low rate, in a unidirectional manner in the apical to basolateral direction. These findings may be relevant to the putative role of ObRa in receptor-mediated transport of leptin from the circulation into the brain.

Vectorial transport of organic cations (OCs) in renal proximal tubules is mediated by sequential action of human OC transporter 2 (hOCT2) and human multidrug and toxic extrusion protein 1 and 2K (hMATE1 and hMATE2K), expressed in the basolateral (hOCT2) and luminal (hMATE1 and hMATE2K) plasma membranes, respectively. It is well known that hOCT2 activity is subjected to rapid regulation by several signaling pathways, suggesting that renal OC secretion may be acutely adapted to physiological requirements. Therefore, in this work, the acute regulation of hMATEs stably expressed in human embryonic kidney cells was characterized using the fluorescent substrate 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium (ASP+) as a marker. A specific regulation of ASP+ transport by hMATE1 and hMATE2K measured in uptake and efflux configurations was observed. In the example of hMATE1 efflux reduction by inhibition of casein kinase II, it was also shown that this regulation is able to modify transcellular transport of ASP+ in Madin–Darby canine kidney II cells expressing hOCT2 and hMATE1 on the basolateral and apical membrane domains, respectively. The activity of hMATEs can be rapidly regulated by some intracellular pathways, which sometimes are common to those found for hOCTs. Interference with these pathways may be important to regulate renal secretion of OCs.

Transcellular transport of a variety of ligands may be an important mechanism by which regulatory substances reach their site of action. We have studied the transcellular transport of two 6,000-mol-wt proteins, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin, across polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown on dual-sided chambers on a nitrocellulose filter substrate. When grown on these chambers, MDCK cells are polarized and express distinct basal and apical surfaces. MDCK cells are capable of unidirectional transport of EGF from the basal-to-apical direction, 50% of bound EGF transported in 2 h. Transport was inhibited by the addition of unlabeled EGF in a dose-dependent manner. Anti-EGF receptor Ab, which inhibited binding, also inhibited transport. No transport in the apical-to-basal direction is noted. Insulin transport is not observed in either direction. Transport correlates with the presence of ligand-specific receptors on the cell surface. Hence, EGF receptors (Ro = 48,000, Kd = 3.5 X 10(-10) M) are found only on the basal surface of the MDCK cells and neither surface expresses insulin receptors. Characterization of the EGF receptors on MDCK cells, as assessed by affinity, molecular mass, and anti-receptor antibody binding reveals that this receptor has similar characteristics to EGF receptors previously described on a variety of cells. Hence, the EGF receptor can function as a transporter of EGF across an epithelial cell barrier.

Intracellular accumulation of different betaines was compared in osmotically stressed Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to model the betaine accumulation specificity of the mammalian inner medulla and to show how this accumulation differed from that of bacteria. All betaines accumulated less than glycine betaine. Arsenobetaine (the arsenic analogue of glycine betaine) accumulated to 12% of the glycine betaine levels and the sulphur analogue dimethylthetin accumulated to >80%. Most substituted glycine betaine analogues accumulated to 2–5% of intracellular glycine betaine concentrations, however, serine betaine accumulated to <0.5% of glycine betaine levels. Inhibition studies to distinguish the betaine ports were performed by the addition of proline. Butyrobetaine and carnitine accumulation was not proline sensitive, whereas that of omer betaines was. As with glycine betaine, the accumulation of propionobetaine and dimethylthetin was proline sensitive and osmoregulated. Pyridinium betaine was accumulated by both proline-sensitive and -insensitive systems, with a small increase under osmotic stress. High concentrations (10 times that of glycine betaine) of the dietary betaines proline betaine and trigonelline inhibited total betaine accumulation. Because α-substituted betaines are accumulated by bacteria and not by MDCK cells, these betaines may be the basis for design of antimicrobial agents.Key words: MDCK cells, betaine accumulation, osmolytes, betaine analogues.

Sorting of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins to the apical or basolateral surface domains of polarized cells is currently thought to take place within the trans-Golgi network (TGN). To explore the relationship between protein localization to the TGN and sorting to the plasma membrane in polarized epithelial cells, we have expressed constructs encoding the TGN marker, TGN38, in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. We report that TGN38 is predominantly localized to the TGN of these cells and recycles via the basolateral membrane. Analyses of the distribution of Tac-TGN38 chimeric proteins in MDCK cells suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of TGN38 has information leading to both TGN localization and cycling through the basolateral surface. Mutations of the cytoplasmic domain that disrupt TGN localization also lead to nonpolarized delivery of the chimeric proteins to both surface domains. These results demonstrate an apparent equivalence of basolateral and TGN localization determinants and support an evolutionary relationship between TGN and plasma membrane sorting processes.

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells form polarized, multicellular epithelial structures in vitro. Low-level expression of pp60v-src in MDCK cells elicits plasticity in these multicellular structures. Plasticity was revealed by the displacement of cells from mechanically stressed regions of the epithelial monolayers; however, the two-dimensional relationship between the cells in the remainder of the monolayer was maintained. Electron microscopy of multicellular structures revealed abnormal separation of the lateral membranes of adjacent cells and selective uncoupling of the junctional complex; the zonula adherens was disrupted, but the zonula occludens and desmosomes were retained. Significantly, this result was not accompanied by transformation of the cells, as judged by the absence of anchorage-independent growth potential. These results demonstrate a nonmitogenic biological activity of pp60v-src which is experimentally dissociable from transformation. This morphoregulatory action on higher-order epithelial structures may reflect a function of related cellular tyrosine kinases.

The MAL (MAL/VIP17) proteolipid is a nonglycosylated integral membrane protein expressed in a restricted pattern of cell types, including T lymphocytes, myelin-forming cells, and polarized epithelial cells. Transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) to the apical surface of epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells appears to be mediated by a pathway involving glycolipid- and cholesterol- enriched membranes (GEMs). In MDCK cells, MAL has been proposed previously as being an element of the protein machinery for the GEM-dependent apical transport pathway. Using an antisense oligonucleotide-based strategy and a newly generated monoclonal antibody to canine MAL, herein we have approached the effect of MAL depletion on HA transport in MDCK cells. We have found that MAL depletion diminishes the presence of HA in GEMs, reduces the rate of HA transport to the cell surface, inhibits the delivery of HA to the apical surface, and produces partial missorting of HA to the basolateral membrane. These effects were corrected by ectopic expression of MAL in MDCK cells whose endogenous MAL protein was depleted. Our results indicate that MAL is necessary for both normal apical transport and accurate sorting of HA.
