Pharmacology and Toxicology,
It has been proposed that the hepatocellular Na+-dependent bile salt uptake system exhibits a broad substrate specificity in intact hepatocytes. In contrast, recent expression studies in mammalian cell lines have suggested that the cloned rat liver Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) may transport only taurocholate. To characterize its substrate specificity Ntcp was stably transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. These cells exhibited saturable Na+-dependent uptake of [3H]taurocholate [Michaelis constant (Km) of ~34 µM] that was strongly inhibited by all major bile salts, estrone 3-sulfate, bumetanide, and cyclosporin A. Ntcp cRNA-injected Xenopus laevis oocytes and the transfected CHO cells exhibited saturable Na+-dependent uptake of [3H]taurochenodeoxycholate (Km of ~5 µM), [3H]tauroursodeoxycholate (Km of ~14 µM), and [14C]glycocholate (Km of ~27 µM). After induction of gene expression by sodium butyrate, Na+-dependent transport of [3H]estrone 3-sulfate (Km of ~27 µM) could also be detected in the transfected CHO cells. However, there was no detectable Na+-dependent uptake of [3H]bumetanide or [3H]cyclosporin A. These results show that the cloned Ntcp can mediate Na+-dependent uptake of all physiological bile salts as well as of the steroid conjugate estrone 3-sulfate. Hence, Ntcp is a multispecific transporter with preference for bile salts and other anionic steroidal compounds.
