Interaction of human organic anion transporters with various cephalosporin antibiotics
Introduction
The secretion of numerous organic anions, including endogenous metabolites, drugs and xenobiotics, is an important physiological function of the renal proximal tubules. The secretion of organic anions through the proximal tubular cells is achieved via unidirectional transcellular transport, involving the uptake of organic anions into the cells from the blood across the basolateral membrane, followed by extrusion across the brush-border membrane into the tubular fluid (Pritchard and Miller, 1993). Recently, cDNAs encoding members of the organic anion transporter (OAT) family have been successively cloned, including OAT1 Sekine et al., 1997, Hosoyamada et al., 1999, OAT2 (Sekine et al., 1998), OAT3 Kusuhara et al., 1999, Cha et al., 2001 and OAT4 (Cha et al., 2000). Among these clones, human-OAT1 and human-OAT3 were shown to be localized to the basolateral side of the proximal tubule (Hosoyamada et al., 1999; Cha et al., 2001), whereas human-OAT4 is localized to the apical side of the proximal tubule (Babu et al., in press).
Cephalosporin antibiotics are suggested to be not only filtered through the glomeruli but also actively secreted by the proximal tubules. Cephalosporins inhibited para-aminohippuric acid uptake in rat renal slices (Hori et al., 1982) and renal plasma membrane vesicles (Takano et al., 1989). Cephaloridine, a cephalosporin that possesses both anionic and cationic moieties, inhibited para-aminohippuric acid transport but not N-methylnicotinamide transport in basolateral membrane vesicles (Kasher et al., 1983). Thus, cephalosporin antibiotics are considered to be secreted by the proximal tubule via the para-aminohippuric acid transporter system Moller and Sheikh, 1983, Ulrich et al., 1989. Consistent with these results, we have recently observed that rat-OAT1 as well as rat-OAT3 interacts with various cephalosporin antibiotics Jariyawat et al., 1999, Takeda et al., 1999, Jung et al., in press.
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the interactions of human-OATs with various cephalosporin antibiotics, using cells derived from the second segment of the proximal tubule (S2) that stably express human-OAT1, human-OAT3 and human-OAT4 (S2 human-OAT1, S2 human-OAT3 and S2 human-OAT4, respectively).

Materials
[14C]Para-aminohippuric acid (53.1 mCi /mmol) and [3H]estrone sulfate (53 Ci/mmol) were purchased from Perkin Elmer Life Sciences (Boston, MA, USA). Cephalosporin antibiotics were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Other materials used included fetal bovine serum, trypsin and geneticin from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA) recombinant epidermal growth factor from Wakunaga (Hiroshima, Japan), insulin from Shimizu (Shizuoka, Japan), RITC 80-7 culture medium from Iwaki (Tokyo, Japan) and
Effects of various cephalosporin antibiotics on organic anion uptake by S2 human-OAT1, S2 human-OAT3 and S2 human-OAT4
We elucidated the effects of various cephalosporin antibiotics on organic anion uptake mediated by human-OAT1, human-OAT3 and human-OAT4. The cephalosporin antibiotics tested were cephalothin, cefoperazone, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, cephaloridine, cefotaxime, cefadroxil and cefamandole. As shown in Fig. 1, all of these cephalosporin antibiotics at 2 mM significantly inhibited the organic anion uptake mediated by human-OAT1 (A), human-OAT3 (B) and human-OAT4 (C) (N=4, *P<0.001, **P<0.01 and ***P
Discussion
Human-OAT1 and human-OAT3 were recently cloned and characterized as multispecific OATs and were found to mediate the active transport of organic anions from the interstitium to the cells in the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule Hosoyamada et al., 1999, Cha et al., 2001. Both transporters mediate the basolateral uptake of various drugs and endogenous substances such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antitumor drugs, H2-receptor antagonists, prostaglandins, diuretics,

OATs are responsible for the uptake of organic anions, such as beta-lactam antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [12,13]. Endogenous dicarboxylate anions (such as alpha-ketoglutarate) are considered to be the driving force for organic anion exchange [14–18].
