- Abstract
- In the present study, we have characterized the choline transport system and examined the influence of various amine drugs on the choline transporter using a conditionally immortalized rat brain capillary enotheliald cell line (TR-BBB) in vitro. The cell-to-medium (C/M) ratio of [H-3]choline in TR-131313 cells increased time-dependently. The initial uptake rate of [H-3]choline was concentration-dependent with a Michaelis-Menten value, K-m, of 26.2 +/- 2.7 mu M. The [H-3]choline uptake into TR-131313 was Na+-independent, but was membrane potential-dependent. The [H-3]choline uptake was susceptible to inhibition by hemicholinium-3, and tetraethylammonium (TEA), which are organic cation transporter substrates. Also, the uptake of [H-3]choline was competitively inhibited with K-i values of 274 mu M, 251 mu M and 180 mu M in the presence of donepezil hydrochloride, tacrine and alpha-phenyl-n-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN), respectively. These characteristics of choline transport are consistent with those of the organic cation transporter (OCT). OCT2 mRNA was expressed in TR-BBB cells, while the expression of OCT3 or choline transporter (CHT) was not detected. Accordingly, these results suggest that OCT2 is a candidate for choline transport at the BBB and may influence the BBB permeability of amine drugs.
