Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The purpose of our study was to establish the localization of the anion
transporter Npt1 in liver and the relevance of Npt1 to
carrier-mediated hepatic transport of
-lactam antibiotics. Immunocytochemical examination of mouse liver with antiserum for Npt1 showed basolateral (sinusoidal) membrane localization.
Function of Npt1 was characterized in Xenopus
laevis oocytes. Injection of in vitro-transcribed cRNA
into oocytes resulted in an increased uptake of
[14C]benzylpenicillin (PCG). The Npt1-mediated
uptake was saturable with a Michaelis constant
(Km) of 0.46 ± 0.18 mM and a maximum rate
(Vmax) of 46.6 ± 8.5 pmol/60 min/oocyte, and the uptake of [14C]PCG was independent of Na+ and pH, but
dependent on chloride ion. Npt1-mediated
[14C]PCG uptake was inhibited by several
-lactam
antibiotics and probenecid. Oocytes injected with Npt1-cRNA
demonstrated significantly enhanced transport activity for other
anionic compounds such as [14C]faropenem,
[14C]foscarnet and [3H]mevalonic acid, as
well as [14C]PCG, compared with water-injected oocytes.
In conclusion, Npt1 is suggested to participate in hepatic
sinusoidal membrane transport of organic anions such as
-lactam
antibiotics as well as inorganic anions for the efflux from
hepatocyte-to-blood direction.
