Abstract
Background/Aims: Inborn deficiency of the N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) impairs the urea cycle and causes neurotoxic hyperammonemia. Oral administration of N-carbamoylglutamate (NCG), a synthetic analog of N-acetylglutamate (NAG), successfully decreases plasma ammonia levels in the affected children. Due to structural similarities to glutamate, NCG may be absorbed in the intestine and taken up into the liver by excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs). Methods: Using Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing either human EAAT1, 2, or 3, or human sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter 3 (NaDC3), transport-associated currents of NAG, NCG, and related dicarboxylates were assayed. Results: L-aspartate and L-glutamate produced saturable inward currents with Km values below 30 µM. Whereas NCG induced a small inward current only in EAAT3 expressing oocytes, NAG was accepted by all EAATs. With EAAT3, the NAG-induced current was sodium-dependent and saturable (Km 409 µM). Oxaloacetate was found as an additional substrate of EAAT3. In NaDC3-expressing oocytes, all dicarboxylates induced much larger inward currents than did L-aspartate and L-glutamate. Conclusion: EAAT3 may contribute to intestinal absorption and hepatic uptake of NCG. With respect to transport of amino acids and dicarboxylates, EAAT3 and NaDC3 can complement each other.

Abstract
In renal proximal tubule cells, the organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (OAT1 and OAT3) in the basolateral membrane and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4) in the apical membrane share substrates and co-operate in renal drug secretion. We hypothesized that recently identified MRP4 inhibitors dantrolene, glafenine, nalidixic acid, and prazosin also interact with human OAT1 and/or OAT3 stably transfected in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. These four drugs were tested as possible inhibitors of p-[3H]aminohippurate (PAH) and [14C]glutarate uptake by OAT1, and of [3H]estrone-3-sulfate (ES) uptake by OAT3. In addition, we explored whether these drugs decrease the equilibrium distribution of radiolabeled PAH, glutarate, or ES, an approach intended to indirectly suggest drug/substrate exchange through OAT1 and OAT3. With OAT3, a dose-dependent inhibition of [3H]ES uptake and a downward shift in [3H]ES equilibrium were observed, indicating that all four drugs bind to OAT3 and may possibly be translocated. In contrast, the interaction with OAT1 was more complex. With [14C]glutarate as substrate, all four drugs inhibited uptake but only glafenine and nalidixic acid shifted glutarate equilibrium. Using [3H]PAH as a substrate of OAT1, nalidixic acid inhibited but dantrolene, glafenine, and prazosin stimulated uptake. Nalidixic acid decreased equilibrium content of [3H]PAH, suggesting that it may possibly be exchanged by OAT1. Taken together, OAT1 and OAT3 interact with the MRP4 inhibitors dantrolene, glafenine, nalidixic acid, and prazosin, indicating overlapping specificities. At OAT1, more than one binding site must be assumed to explain substrate and drug-dependent stimulation and inhibition of transport activity.

Abstract
The initial step in renal secretion of organic anions (OAs) is mediated by transporters in the basolateral membrane (BLM). Contributors to this process are primary active Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.3.9), secondary active Na(+)-dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 (NaDC3/SLC13A3), and tertiary active OA transporters (OATs) OAT1/SLC22A6, OAT2/SLC22A7, and OAT3/SLC22A8. In human kidneys, we analyzed the localization of these transporters by immunochemical methods in tissue cryosections and isolated membranes. The specificity of antibodies was validated with human embryonic kidney-293 cells stably transfected with functional OATs. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was immunolocalized to the BLM along the entire human nephron. NaDC3-related immunostaining was detected in the BLM of proximal tubules and in the BLM and/or luminal membrane of principal cells in connecting segments and collecting ducts. The thin and thick ascending limbs, macula densa, and distal tubules exhibited no reactivity with the anti-NaDC3 antibody. OAT1-OAT3-related immunostaining in human kidneys was detected only in the BLM of cortical proximal tubules; all three OATs were stained more intensely in S1/S2 segments compared with S3 segment in medullary rays, whereas the S3 segment in the outer stripe remained unstained. Expression of NaDC3, OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 proteins exhibited considerable interindividual variability in both male and female kidneys, and sex differences in their expression could not be detected. Our experiments provide a side-by-side comparison of basolateral transporters cooperating in renal OA secretion in the human kidney.

Abstract
Aim To investigate whether the sex-dependent expression of hepatic and renal oxalate transporter sat-1 (Slc26a1) changes in a rat model of ethylene glycol (EG)-induced hyperoxaluria. Methods Rats were given tap water (12 males and 12 females; controls) or EG (12 males and 12 females; 0.75% v/v in tap water) for one month. Oxaluric state was confirmed by biochemical parameters in blood plasma, urine, and tissues. Expression of sat-1 and rate-limiting enzymes of oxalate synthesis, alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (Adh1) and hydroxy-acid oxidase 1 (Hao1), was determined by immunocytochemistry (protein) and/or real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (mRNA). Results EG-treated males had significantly higher (in μmol/L; mean ± standard deviation) plasma (59.7 ± 27.2 vs 12.9 ± 4.1, P < 0.001) and urine (3716 ± 1726 vs 241 ± 204, P < 0.001) oxalate levels, and more abundant oxalate crystaluria than controls, while the liver and kidney sat-1 protein and mRNA expression did not differ significantly between these groups. EG-treated females, in comparison with controls had significantly higher (in μmol/L) serum oxalate levels (18.8 ± 2.9 vs 11.6 ± 4.9, P < 0.001), unchanged urine oxalate levels, low oxalate crystaluria, and significantly higher expression (in relative fluorescence units) of the liver (1.59 ± 0.61 vs 0.56 ± 0.39, P = 0.006) and kidney (1.77 ± 0.42 vs 0.69 ± 0.27, P < 0.001) sat-1 protein, but not mRNA. The mRNA expression of Adh1 was female-dominant and that of Hao1 male-dominant, but both were unaffected by EG treatment. Conclusions An increased expression of hepatic and renal oxalate transporting protein sat-1 in EG-treated female rats could protect from hyperoxaluria and oxalate urolithiasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many cellular responses to hypoxia are mediated by the transcription factor complex hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). HIF stability is governed by a family of dioxygenases called HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs). Isoquinolone-derived PHD inhibitors, like 2-(1-chloro-4-hydroxyisoquinoline-3-carboxamido) acetate (ICA), which stabilize the intracellular HIF-α have been suggested as a potentially beneficial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of disorders associated with ischemia. To stabilize HIF-α, ICA has to be taken up into proximal tubule cells (PCTs) across the basolateral membrane by one of the organic anion transporters 1, 2 or 3 (OAT1, OAT2 or OAT3). The release into the urine across the luminal membrane may be mediated by OAT4. METHOD To demonstrate interaction of ICA with human OAT1, OAT2, OAT3 and OAT4, ICA was tested on these transporters stably transfected in HEK293 cells by using p-aminohippurate (PAH), cGMP and estrone-3-sulfate (ES) as reference substrates, respectively. RESULTS Uptakes of PAH and ES in OAT1- and OAT3-transfected HEK293 cells were inhibited by ICA with half-maximal inhibition values of 0.29 ± 0.05 and 2.58 ± 0.16 µM, respectively. OAT2 was less sensitive to ICA. Efflux experiments identified ICA as an OAT1 and OAT3 substrate. Preloading OAT4-transfected HEK293 cells with ICA stimulated ES uptake by 18.3 ± 3.8%. CONCLUSION The uptake of ICA across the basolateral membrane of PCTs occurs mainly by OAT1 and the efflux into the tubular lumen by OAT4.

Abstract
Phylogentically, organic anion transporter (OAT)1 and OAT3 are closely related, whereas OAT2 is more distant. Experiments with human embryonic kidney-293 cells stably transfected with human OAT1, OAT2, or OAT3 were performed to compare selected transport properties. Common to OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 is their ability to transport cGMP. OAT2 interacted with prostaglandins, and cGMP uptake was inhibited by PGE2 and PGF2α with IC50 values of 40.8 and 12.7 μM, respectively. OAT1 (IC50: 23.7 μM), OAT2 (IC50: 9.5 μM), and OAT3 (IC50: 1.6 μM) were potently inhibited by MK571, an established multidrug resistance protein inhibitor. OAT2-mediated cGMP uptake was not inhibited by short-chain monocarboxylates and, as opposed to OAT1 and OAT3, not by dicarboxylates. Consequently, OAT2 showed no cGMP/glutarate exchange. OAT1 and OAT3 exhibited a pH and a Cl− dependence with higher substrate uptake at acidic pH and lower substrate uptake in the absence of Cl−, respectively. Such pH and Cl− dependencies were not observed with OAT2. Depolarization of membrane potential by high K+ concentrations in the presence of the K+ ionophore valinomycin left cGMP uptake unaffected. In addition to cGMP, OAT2 transported urate and glutamate, but cGMP/glutamate exchange could not be demonstrated. These experiments suggest that OAT2-mediated cGMP uptake does not occur via exchange with monocarboxylates, dicarboxylates, and hydroxyl ions. The counter anion for electroneutral cGMP uptake remains to be identified.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes induces pathophysiological changes in the liver. The aim of this study was to identify differently expressed genes in the livers of male and female ZSF1 rats (ZDFxSHHF-hybrid, generation F1), a model for type 2 diabetes. Gene expression was investigated using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Selected candidate genes were verified by real-time PCR in the livers of obese and lean rats. 103 sex-different genes, associated to pathways "response to chemical stimulus", "lipid metabolism", and "response to organic substance", were identified. Male-specific genes were involved in hepatic metabolism, detoxification, and secretion, e.g. cytochrome P450 2c11 (Cyp2c11), Cyp4a2, glutathione S-transferases mu 2 (Gstm2), and Slc22a8 (organic anion transporter 3, Oat3). Most female-specific genes were associated to lipid metabolism (e.g. glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1, Gpam) or glycolysis (e.g. glucokinase, Gck). Our data suggest the necessity to pay attention to sex- and diabetes-dependent changes in pre-clinical testing of hepatic metabolized and secreted drugs.

Abstract
Antineoplastic compounds are used in the treatment of a variety of cancers. The effectiveness of an antineoplastic compound to exert its activity is largely dependent on transport proteins involved in the entry of the compound into the cells, and those which drive it out of the cell. Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3), belonging to the SLCO family of proteins, are specifically expressed in the sinusoidal membranes of the liver, and are known to interact with a variety of drugs. The present study deals with the interaction of these proteins with antineoplastic compounds routinely used in cancer chemotherapy. The proteins OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 were functionally characterized in stably transfected human embryonic kidney cells using [(3)H] labeled estrone 3-sulfate and [(3)H] labeled cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) as substrates, respectively. Substrate uptake experiments performed in the presence of antineoplastic compounds showed that vinblastine and paclitaxel strongly interacted with the OATP1B1 with Ki values of 10.2 μM and 0.84 μM, respectively. OATP1B3 showed highly significant interactions with a variety of antineoplastic compounds including chlorambucil, mitoxantrone, vinblastine, vincristine, paclitaxel and etoposide, with Ki values of 40.6 μM, 3.2 μM, 15.9 μM, 30.6 μM, 1.8 μM and 13.5 μM, respectively. We report several novel interactions of the transporter proteins OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 highlighting the need to investigate their role in drug-drug interactions and cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify sex-dependent expression of renal transporter mRNA in lean and obese Zucker spontaneously hypertensive fatty (ZSF1) rats and to investigate the interaction of the most altered transporter, organic anion transporter 2 (Oat2), with diabetes-relevant metabolites and drugs. Higher incidence of glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and protein casts in Bowman's space and tubular lumen was detected by PAS staining in obese male compared to female ZSF1 rats. Real-time PCR on RNA isolated from kidney cortex revealed that Sglt1-2, Oat1-3, and Oct1 were higher expressed in kidneys of lean females. Oct2 and Mrp2 were higher expressed in obese males. Renal mRNA levels of transporters were reduced with diabetic nephropathy in females and the expression of transcription factors Hnf1β and Hnf4α in both sexes. The highest difference between lean and obese ZSF1 rats was found for Oat2. Therefore, we have tested the interaction of human OAT2 with various substances using tritium-labeled cGMP. Human OAT2 showed no interaction with diabetes-related metabolites, diabetic drugs, and ACE-inhibitors. However, OAT2-dependent uptake of cGMP was inhibited by furosemide. The strongly decreased expression of Oat2 and other transporters in female diabetic ZSF1 rats could possibly impair renal drug excretion, for example, of furosemide.

Abstract
Medical schools in Germany may select 60% of the student applicants through their own admission tests. The influence of the school-leaving examination grades (EGs) in each of the procedural steps is controversial. At Goettingen Medical School, we combine a structured interview and a communicative skills assessment. We analysed how many applicants succeeded in our admission test, compared to a model which only takes EGs into account. Admission scores were transferred into SPSS-21. Sociodemographic data were submitted by the Stiftung Hochschulstart. Besides descriptive statistics, we used Pearson-correlation and means comparisons (t-test, analysis of variance). 221 applicants (EGs 1.0-1.9) were invited in the winter semester 2013/14 and 222 applicants (EGs 1.1-1.8) in the summer semester 2014. The proportion of women was 68% (winter) and 74% (summer). Sixteen and 37 applicants had a medical vocational training and performed slightly better. The analysis showed that our test was gender neutral. EGs did not correlate with interviews or skills assessment. Despite a two-fold impact of EGs, 26 (winter) and 44 (summer) of the overall 181 applicants had EGs of 1.4 -1.9, which would have been too low for admission otherwise. If EGs were only considered once, 40 (winter) and 59 (summer) applicants would have succeeded.

Abstract
The ability of an antineoplastic drug to exert its cytostatic effect depends largely on the balance between its uptake into and extrusion from the cancer cells. ATP driven efflux transporter proteins drive the export of antineoplastic drugs and play a pivotal role in the development of chemoresistance. As regards uptake transporters, comparably less is known on their impact in drug action. In the current study, we characterized the interactions of two uptake transporter proteins, expressed mainly in the liver; the organic anion transporter 2 (OAT2, encoded by the SLC22A7 gene) and the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP, encoded by the SLC10A1 gene), stably transfected in human embryonic kidney cells, with some antineoplastic agents that are routinely being used in cancer chemotherapy. Whereas NTCP did not show any strong interactions with the cytostatics tested, we observed a very strong inhibition of OAT2 mediated [(3)H] cGMP uptake in the presence of bendamustine, irinotecan and paclitaxel. The Ki values of OAT2 for bendamustine, irinotecan and paclitaxel were determined to be 43.3±4.33μM, 26.4±2.34μM and 10.4±0.45μM, respectively. Incubation of bendamustine with OAT2 expressing cells increased the caspase-3 activity, and this increase was inhibited by simultaneous incubation with bendamustine and probenecid, a well-known inhibitor of OATs, suggesting that bendamustine is a substrate of OAT2. A higher accumulation of irinotecan was observed in OAT2 expressing cells compared to control pcDNA cells by HPLC analysis of cell lysates. The accumulation was diminished in the presence of cGMP, the substrate we used to functionally characterize OAT2, suggesting specificity of this uptake and the fact that OAT2 mediates uptake of irinotecan.

Abstract
Chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) is often associated with nephritic syndrome. Effective treatment of CLL by chlorambucil and bendamustine leads to the restoration of renal function. In this contribution, we sought to elucidate the impact of organic anion transporters (OATs) on the uptake of bendamustine and chlorambucil as a probable reason for the superior efficacy of bendamustine over chlorambucil in the treatment of CLL. We examined the effects of structural analogs of p-aminohippurate (PAH), melphalan, chlorambucil, and bendamustine, on OAT1-mediated [(3)H]PAH uptake and OAT3- and OAT4-mediated [(3)H]estrone sulfate (ES) uptake in stably transfected human embryonic kidney-293 cells. Melphalan had no significant inhibitory effect on any OAT, whereas chlorambucil reduced OAT1-, OAT3-, and OAT4-mediated uptake of PAH or ES down to 14.6%, 16.3%, and 66.0% of control, respectively. Bendamustine inhibited only OAT3-mediated ES uptake, which was reduced down to 14.3% of control cells, suggesting that it interacts exclusively with OAT3. The IC50 value for OAT3 was calculated to be 0.8 μM. Real-time PCR experiments demonstrated a high expression of OAT3 in lymphoma cell lines as well as primary CLL cells. OAT3-mediated accumulation of bendamustine was associated with reduced cell proliferation and an increased rate of apoptosis. We conclude that the high efficacy of bendamustine in treating CLL might be partly contributed to the expression of OAT3 in lymphoma cells and the high affinity of bendamustine for this transporter.

Abstract
The human organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) is crucial for the excretion of organic anions in renal proximal tubular cells and has been classified as a clinically relevant transporter in the kidneys. Our previous study indicated that renal male-predominant expression of rat Oat1 and Oat3 appears to be regulated by transcription factor B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6). The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of BCL6 on human OAT1 promoter and on the transcription of OAT1 mediated by hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α). Luciferase assays were carried out in opossum kidney (OK) cells transiently transfected with promoter constructs of OAT1, expression vectors for BCL6 and HNF-1α, and the empty control vectors. BCL6 and HNF-1α binding on OAT1 promoter was analyzed using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Protein expression of HNF-1α was investigated by Western blot analysis. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to introduce mutations into BCL6 and HNF-1α binding sites within the OAT1 promoter. BCL6 enhanced the promoter activity of OAT1 independently of predicted BCL6 binding sites but was dependent on HNF-1α response element and HNF-1α protein. Coexpression of BCL6 and HNF-1α induced an additive effect on OAT1 promoter activation compared with BCL6 or HNF-1α alone. BCL6 does not bind directly or indirectly to OAT1 promoter but increases the protein expression of HNF-1α and thereby indirectly enhances OAT1 gene transcription. BCL6 constitutes a promising candidate gene for the regulation of human OAT1 transcription and other renal and/or hepatic drug transporters that have been already shown to be activated by HNF-1α.

Abstract
Objectives: Amended in 2013, the current version of the German Medical Licensure Regulation contains structural specifications that are also required of non-university institutions involved in Practical Year clinical training. The criteria are worded in relatively general terms. Furthermore, not all of the structural specifications can be readily applied to every subject area. In order to ensure commensurability in Practical Year instruction in Germany, not least in light of recently introduced Practical Year mobility, it is necessary to define consistent quality criteria for Practical Year training. The authors therefore propose a catalogue of criteria for the quality management process in Practical Year instruction facilities. Methods: In January 2014, the board of directors of the German Society for Medical Education decided to establish a committee comprised of representatives from various German medical faculties. In a process similar to the Delphi methodology, the group developed criteria for structure, process and outcome quality in Practical Year training in Germany. Results: The criteria developed for structure, process and outcome quality apply to Practical Year training in academic teaching hospitals and university medical centres. Furthermore, modalities for review are proposed. Conclusions: The present catalogue of criteria is intended to contribute to the formation of a basis for the most consistent quality standards possible for Practical Year instruction in Germany.

Abstract
Inborn defects in N-acetylglutamate (NAG) synthase (NAGS) cause a reduction of NAG, an essential cofactor for the initiation of the urea cycle. As a consequence, blood ammonium concentrations are elevated, leading to severe neurological disorders. The orphan drug N-carbamoylglutamate (NCG; Carbaglu), efficiently overcomes NAGS deficiency. However, not much is known about the transporters involved in the uptake, distribution, and elimination of the divalent organic anion NCG. Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) as well as organic anion transporters (OATs) working in cooperation with sodium dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 (NaDC3) accept a wide variety of structurally unrelated drugs. To test for possible interactions with OATPs and OATs, the impact of NCG on these transporters in stably transfected human embryonic kidney-293 cells was measured. The two-electrode voltage-clamp technique was used to monitor NCG-mediated currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes that expressed NaDC3. Neither OATPs nor OAT2 and OAT3 interacted with NCG, but OAT1 transported NCG. In addition, NCG was identified as a high-affinity substrate of NaDC3. Preincubation of OAT4-transfected human embryonic kidney-293 cells with NCG showed an increased uptake of estrone sulfate, the reference substrate of OAT4, indicating efflux of NCG by OAT4. In summary, NaDC3 and, to a lesser extent, OAT1 are likely to be responsible for the uptake of NCG from the blood. Efflux of NCG across the luminal membrane into the tubular lumen probably occurs by OAT4 completing renal secretion of this drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS During a single pass through the kidneys, more than 80% of glutathione (GSH) is excreted, indicating not only glomerular filtration, but also tubular secretion. The first step in tubular secretion is the uptake of a substance across the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule cells by sodium-dependent and -independent transporters. Due to the dicarboxylate-like structure, we postulated that GSH uptake across the basolateral membrane is mediated by the sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter 3 (NaDC3). METHODS Tracer uptake and electrophysiologic measurements using a two-electrode voltage clamp device were performed in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the human (h)NaDC3. RESULTS Uptake of succinate, the reference substrate of hNaDC3, was inhibited by GSH in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 1.88 mM. GSH evoked potential-dependent inward currents, which were abolished under sodium-free conditions. At -60 mV, GSH currents showed saturation kinetics with a KM of 1.65 mM. CONCLUSION hNaDC3 present at the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule cells mediates sodium-dependent GSH uptake. The kinetic data show that NaDC3 is a low-affinity GSH transporter.

Abstract
Due to their clearance function, the kidneys are exposed to high concentrations of oxidants and potentially toxic substances. To maintain cellular integrity, renal cells have to be protected by sufficient concentrations of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). We tested whether GSH or its precursors are taken up by human organic anion transporters 1 (OAT1) and 3 (OAT3) stably expressed in HEK293 cells. GSH did not inhibit uptake of p-aminohippurate (PAH) or of estrone sulfate (ES) in OAT3-transfected HEK293 cells. In OAT1-transfected cells, GSH reduced the uptake of PAH marginally. Among the GSH constituent amino acids, glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, only glutamate inhibited OAT1, but labeled glutamate was not taken up by a probenecid-inhibitable transport system. Thus OAT1 binds glutamate but is unable to translocate it. The GSH precursor dipeptide, cysteinyl glycine (cysgly), and the glutamate derivative N-acetyl glutamate (NAG), inhibited uptake of PAH when present in the medium and trans-stimulated uptake of PAH from the intracellular side, indicating that they are hitherto unrecognized transported substrates of OAT1. N-acetyl aspartate weakly interacted with OAT1, but aspartate did not. NAG inhibited also OAT3, albeit with much lower affinity compared with OAT1, and glutamate did not interact with OAT3 at all. Taken together, human OAT3 and OAT1 cannot be involved in renal GSH extraction from the blood. However, OAT1 could support intracellular GSH synthesis by taking up cysteinyl glycine.

Abstract
There is indication that human type-1 VDAC/Porin31HL complexes, when purified from highly enriched cell membrane preparations of human B-lymphocytes by classical ion-exchange chromatography in the detergent Nonidet P40, rest in fully closed state, its N-terminus being accessible for mAbs. Cholesterol appears to be involved as a channel modulator. The channel switches to anion-selective or "open state" while being incorporated into black membranes at zero transmembrane potential. In this case, its N-terminus is hidden in the channel lumen. The cation-selective or "closed state" can be induced by transmembrane potentials beyond 30 mV, the N-terminus putatively now being positioned outside the channel lumen. The latter situation might allow one to decide if type-1 VDAC, preincubated with adequate antibodies against its N-terminal part, would enter black membranes in fully closed state or stay in the application medium, respectively, may be complexed to dimers.

Abstract
Common to all so far functionally characterized Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) is their broad substrate specificity and their ability to exchange extracellular against intracellular organic anions. Many OATs occur in renal proximal tubules, the site of active drug secretion. Exceptions are murine Oat6 (nasal epithelium), human OAT7 (liver), and rat Oat8 (renal collecting ducts). In human kidneys, OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 are localized in the basolateral membrane, and OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical cell membrane of proximal tubule cells, respectively. In rats and mice, Oat1 and Oat3 are located basolaterally, and Oat2, Oat5, Oat9, Oat10, and Urat1 apically. Several classes of drugs interact with human OAT1-3, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, diuretics, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, β-lactam antibiotics, antineoplastic and antiviral drugs, and uricosuric drugs. For most drugs, interaction was demonstrated in vitro by inhibition of OAT-mediated transport of model substrates; for some drugs, transport by OATs was directly proven. Based on IC₅₀ values reported in the literature, OAT1 and OAT3 show comparable affinities for diuretics, cephalosporins, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whereas OAT2 has a lower affinity to most of these compounds. Drug-drug interactions at OAT1 and OAT3 may retard renal drug secretion and cause untoward effects. OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical membrane contribute to proximal tubular urate absorption, and OAT10 to nicotinate absorption. OAT4 is in addition able to release drugs, e.g. diuretics, into the tubule lumen.

Common to all so far functionally characterized Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) is their broad substrate specificity and their ability to exchange extracellular against intracellular organic anions. Many OATs occur in renal proximal tubules, the site of active drug secretion. Exceptions are murine Oat6 (nasal epithelium), human OAT7 (liver), and rat Oat8 (renal collecting ducts). In human kidneys, OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 are localized in the basolateral membrane, and OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical cell membrane of proximal tubule cells, respectively. In rats and mice, Oat1 and Oat3 are located basolaterally, and Oat2, Oat5, Oat9, Oat10, and Urat1 apically. Several classes of drugs interact with human OAT1-3, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, diuretics, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, β-lactam antibiotics, antineoplastic and antiviral drugs, and uricosuric drugs. For most drugs, interaction was demonstrated in vitro by inhibition of OAT-mediated transport of model substrates; for some drugs, transport by OATs was directly proven. Based on IC₅₀ values reported in the literature, OAT1 and OAT3 show comparable affinities for diuretics, cephalosporins, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whereas OAT2 has a lower affinity to most of these compounds. Drug-drug interactions at OAT1 and OAT3 may retard renal drug secretion and cause untoward effects. OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical membrane contribute to proximal tubular urate absorption, and OAT10 to nicotinate absorption. OAT4 is in addition able to release drugs, e.g. diuretics, into the tubule lumen.

Abstract
Aims: Different approaches to performance-oriented allocation of resources according to teaching quality are currently being discussed within German medical schools. The implementation of these programmes is impeded by a lack of valid criteria to measure teaching quality. An assessment of teaching quality should include structural and procedural aspects but focus on learning outcome itself. The aim of this study was to implement a novel, outcome-based evaluation tool within the clinical phase of a medical curriculum and address differences between the novel tool and traditional evaluation methods. Methods: Student self-assessments before and after completion of a teaching module were used to compute performance gains for specific learning objectives. Mean performance gains in each module were compared to student expectations before the module and data derived from a traditional evaluation tool using overall course ratings at the end of the module. Results: A ranking of the 21 modules according to computed performance gains yielded entirely different results than module rankings based on overall course ratings. There was no significant correlation between performance gain and overall ratings. However, the latter were significantly correlated to student expectations before entering the module as well as structural and procedural parameters (Pearson’s r 0.7-0.9). Conclusion: Performance gain computed from comparative self-assessments adds an important new dimension to course evaluation in medical education. In contrast to overall course ratings, the novel tool is less heavily confounded by construct-irrelevant factors. Thus, it appears to be more appropriate than overall course ratings in determining teaching quality and developing algorithms to guide performance-oriented resource allocation in medical education.

Abstract
Background Organic anion transporters 1 (Oat1) and 3 (Oat3) mediate the transport of organic anions, including frequently prescribed drugs, across cell membranes in kidney proximal tubule cells. In rats, these transporters are known to be male-dominant and testosterone-dependently expressed. The molecular mechanisms that are involved in the sex-dependent expression are unknown. Our aim was to identify genes that show a sex-dependent expression and could be involved in male-dominant regulation of Oat1 and Oat3. Methodology/Principal Findings Promoter activities of Oat1 and Oat3 were analyzed using luciferase assays. Expression profiling was done using a SurePrint G3 rat GE 8×60K microarray. RNA was isolated from renal cortical slices of four adult rats per sex. To filter the achieved microarray data for genes expressed in proximal tubule cells, transcription database alignment was carried out. We demonstrate that predicted androgen response elements in the promoters of Oat1 and Oat3 are not functional when the promoters were expressed in OK cells. Using microarray analyses we analyzed 17,406 different genes. Out of these genes, 56 exhibit a sex-dependent expression in rat proximal tubule cells. As genes potentially involved in the regulation of Oat1 and Oat3 expression, we identified, amongst others, the male-dominant hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase 1 (Hsd17b1), B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6), and polymerase (RNA) III (DNA directed) polypeptide G (Polr3g). Moreover, our results revealed that the transcription factor BCL6 activates promoter constructs of Oat1 and Oat3. Conclusion The results indicate that the male-dominant expression of both transporters, Oat1 and Oat3, is possibly not directly regulated by the classical androgen receptor mediated transcriptional pathway but appears to be regulated by the transcription factor BCL6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transport of endogenous and exogenous organic cations across the plasma membrane of cells is mediated by multispecific organic cation transporters (OCTs), and the multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters. MATE belongs to the SLC47 transporter family consisting of only two members, MATE1 and MATE2-K. MATE2-K is exclusively expressed in the kidney at the apical membrane of proximal tubular epithelial cells. MATE1 is highly expressed in the kidney, liver, skeletal muscle and also in adrenal glands, testes and heart. MATE1 exchanges organic cations against protons both in influx as well as in efflux modes. METHODS Here, we examined the interaction of 25 antineoplastic agents with human MATE1. We generated stably transfected MATE1-HEK293 cells and determined the inhibition of MATE1-mediated [(3)H]1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) uptake by the antineoplastic agents. RESULTS We found a significant inhibition of MATE1-mediated MPP uptake by several antineoplastic agents and pH dependent IC(50)values for mitoxantrone (7.8 μM at pH 7.4 and 0.6 μM at pH 8.5) as well as for irinotecan (4.4 μM at pH 7.4 and 1.1 μM at pH 8.5), respectively. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that hMATE1 could play a role in chemosensitivity of tumor cells. In addition, hepatic and renal MATE1 could potentially be involved in drug-drug-interactions as well as in drug metabolism and excretion during chemotherapy.

Abstract
Organic anions are taken up from the blood into proximal tubule cells by organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (OAT1 and OAT3) in exchange for dicarboxylates. The released dicarboxylates are recycled by the sodium dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 (NaDC3). In this study, we tested the substrate specificities of human NaDC3, OAT1, and OAT3 to identify those dicarboxylates for which the three cooperating transporters have common high affinities. All transporters were stably expressed in HEK293 cells, and extracellularly added dicarboxylates were used as inhibitors of [14C]succinate (NaDC3), p-[3H]aminohippurate (OAT1), or [3H]estrone-3-sulfate (OAT3) uptake. Human NaDC3 was stably expressed as proven by immunochemical methods and by sodium-dependent uptake of succinate ( K0.5 for sodium activation, 44.6 mM; Hill coefficient, 2.1; Km for succinate, 18 μM). NaDC3 was best inhibited by succinate (IC50 25.5 μM) and less by α-ketoglutarate (IC50 69.2 μM) and fumarate (IC50 95.2 μM). Dicarboxylates with longer carbon backbones (adipate, pimelate, suberate) had low or no affinity for NaDC3. OAT1 exhibited the highest affinity for glutarate, α-ketoglutarate, and adipate (IC50 between 3.3 and 6.2 μM), followed by pimelate (18.6 μM) and suberate (19.3 μM). The affinity of OAT1 to succinate and fumarate was low. OAT3 showed the same dicarboxylate selectivity with ∼13-fold higher IC50 values compared with OAT1. The data 1) reveal α-ketoglutarate as a common high-affinity substrate of NaDC3, OAT1, and OAT3 and 2) suggest potentially similar molecular structures of the binding sites in OAT1 and OAT3 for dicarboxylates.

Abstract
The response to chemotherapy by tumor cells depends on the concentration of cytostatics accumulated inside the cells. The accumulation of anticancer drugs in tumor cells is mainly dependent on functional expression of efflux and influx transporters and to a minor extent on passive diffusion through the membrane. Efflux transporters of the ABC family are partially responsible for the chemoresistance of cancer cells by secreting these cytostatics. Over the past decades, the role of ABC transporters in the chemoresistance of various malignant tumors has been very well documented. By contrast, very little is known about the impact on tumor therapy of influx transporters belonging to the solute carrier transporters (SLC family). In this review, we focus on the interaction of SLC22 transporters with cytostatics, the expression of these transporters in tumor cells as well as their impact on the chemosensitivity of cancer cells.

Abstract
Concentrations of glutarate (GA) and its derivatives such as 3-hydroxyglutarate (3OHGA), D- (D-2OHGA) and L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L-2OHGA) are increased in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine of patients suffering from different forms of organic acidurias. It has been proposed that these derivatives cause neuronal damage in these patients, leading to dystonic and dyskinetic movement disorders. We have recently shown that these compounds are eliminated by the kidneys via the human organic anion transporters, OAT1 and OAT4, and the sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter 3, NaDC3. In neurons, where most of the damage occurs, a sodium-dependent citrate transporter, NaCT, has been identified. Therefore, we investigated the impact of GA derivatives on hNaCT by two-electrode voltage clamp and tracer uptake studies. None of these compounds induced substrate-associated currents in hNaCT-expressing Xenopus laevis oocytes nor did GA derivatives inhibit the uptake of citrate, the prototypical substrate of hNaCT. In contrast, D- and L-2OHGA, but not 3OHGA, showed affinities to NaDC3, indicating that D- and L-2OHGA impair the uptake of dicarboxylates into astrocytes thereby possibly interfering with their feeding of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates to neurons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hyperoxaluria is a major problem causing nephrolithiasis. Little is known about the regulation of oxalate transport from the liver, the main organ for oxalate synthesis, into the circulation. Since the sulfate anion transporter-1(sat-1) is present in the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes and translocates oxalate, its impact on increased oxalate synthesis was studied. METHODS Sat-1 expressing oocytes were used for cis-inhibition, trans-stimulation, and efflux experiments with labelled sulfate and oxalate to demonstrate the interactions of oxalate, glyoxylate, and glycolate with sat-1. HepG2 cells were incubated with oxalate and its precursors (glycine, hydroxyproline, glyoxylate, and glycolate). Changes in endogenous sat-1 mRNA-expression were examined using real-time PCR. After incubation of HepG2 cells in glyoxylate, sat-1 protein-expression was analysed by Western blotting, and sulfate uptake into HepG2 cells was measured. RT-PCR was used to screen for mRNA of other transporters. RESULTS While oxalate and glyoxylate inhibited sulfate uptake, glycolate did not. Sulfate and oxalate uptake were trans-stimulated by glyoxylate but not by glycolate. Glyoxylate enhanced sulfate efflux. Glyoxylate was the only oxalate precursor stimulating sat-1 mRNA-expression. After incubation of HepG2 cells in glyoxylate, both sat-1 protein-expression and sulfate uptake into the cells increased. mRNA-expression of other transporters in HepG2 cells was not affected by glyoxylate treatment. CONCLUSIONS The oxalate precursor glyoxylate was identified as a substrate of sat-1. Upregulated expression of sat-1 mRNA and of a functional sat-1 protein indicates that glyoxylate may be responsible for the elevated oxalate release from hepatocytes observed in hyperoxaluria.

Abstract
Organic anion transporters 1-10 (OAT1-10) and the urate transporter 1 (URAT1) belong to the SLC22A gene family and accept a huge variety of chemically unrelated endogenous and exogenous organic anions including many frequently described drugs. OAT1 and OAT3 are located in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells and are responsible for drug uptake from the blood into the cells. OAT4 in the apical membrane of human proximal tubule cells is related to drug exit into the lumen and to uptake of estrone sulfate and urate from the lumen into the cell. URAT1 is the major urate-absorbing transporter in the apical membrane and is a target for uricosuric drugs. OAT10, also located in the luminal membrane, transports nicotinate with high affinity and interacts with drugs. Major extrarenal locations of OATs include the blood-brain barrier for OAT3, the placenta for OAT4, the nasal epithelium for OAT6, and the liver for OAT2 and OAT7. For all transporters we provide information on cloning, tissue distribution, factors influencing OAT abundance, interaction with endogenous compounds and different drug classes, drug/drug interactions and, if known, single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Programme evaluation of medical education should be multi-dimensional. While structural and organisational aspects of teaching are frequently assessed, programme evaluation tools are rarely matched to specific learning objectives. AIMS This study used one medical school's catalogue of specific learning objectives to implement and critically appraise a novel programme evaluation tool based on comparative student self-assessments. METHOD Medical students enrolled in the clinical phase of the undergraduate curriculum in Göttingen were invited to self-rate their knowledge, skills and attitudes before and after each course. A newly developed formula controlling for student performance levels when entering a course was used to compute a percentage gain in knowledge, skills and attitudes. Data derived from a prospective, longitudinal intervention study on the development of electrocardiogram interpretation skills including 636 students from four consecutive cohorts were used to provide validity evidence of the new approach. RESULTS The novel tool appeared superior to plain mean differences and effect sizes in detecting outstanding teaching as well as shortcomings of the curriculum. In addition, it adequately reflected objectively measured performance levels and was responsive to curriculum change. CONCLUSIONS Comparative student self-assessment is a valid tool to appraise undergraduate medical curricula at the level of specific learning objectives.

Abstract
Recent investigations involving intact rabbit renal proximal tubules indicated that organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) may be involved in the transport of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (DMPS). Therefore, we evaluated the interaction of OAT3 with DMPS to determine the effect of OAT3 on basolateral DMPS uptake. We used stably transfected HEK293 cells expressing human and rabbit orthologs of the exchanger OAT1 and OAT3. Using 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-CF) as a substrate, the IC50 determinations for reduced DMPS (DMPSH) revealed a stronger interaction with OAT1 than with OAT3 (rbOAT1, 123.3 +/- 13.7; hOAT1, 85.1 +/- 8.8; rbOAT3, 171.7 +/- 22.3; and hOAT3, 172.2 +/- 36.4 micromol/L). However, inhibition of 6-CF uptake by the oxidized form of DMPS (DMPSS), the main form of DMPS in the blood, showed a greater affinity for OAT3 (rbOAT1, 237.4 +/- 23; hOAT1, 104.6 +/- 13.1; rbOAT3, 52.4 +/- 7.6; and hOAT3, 31.6 +/- 6.6 micromol/L). To determine whether DMPSH and DMPSS are substrates for OAT3, we performed efflux studies with [14C]glutarate and inwardly directed gradients of glutarate. The inhibitors trans-stimulated the efflux of [14C]glutarate, suggesting that OAT3 may be able to transport both forms of DMPS. On the basis of the substantial interaction of OAT3 with DMPSS, we conclude that OAT3 represents the dominant basolateral player in renal detoxification processes resulting from use of DMPS.

Abstract
Anticancer treatment with ifosfamide but not with its structural isomer cyclophosphamide is associated with development of renal Fanconi syndrome leading to diminished growth in children and bone problems in adults. Since both cytotoxics share the same principal metabolites, we investigated whether a specific renal uptake of ifosfamide is the basis for this differential effect. First we studied the interaction of these cytotoxics using cells transfected with organic anion or cation transporters and freshly isolated murine and human proximal tubules with appropriate tracers. Next we determined changes in membrane voltage in proximal tubular cells to understand their differentiated nephrotoxicity. Ifosfamide but not cyclophosphamide was significantly transported into cells expressing human organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2) while both did not interact with organic anion transporters. This points toward a specific interaction of ifosfamide with hOCT2, which is the main OCT isoform in human kidney. In isolated human proximal tubules ifosfamide also interacted with organic cation transport. This interaction was also seen in isolated mouse proximal tubules; however, it was absent in tubules from OCT-deficient mice, illustrating the biological importance of this selective transport. Ifosfamide decreased the viability of cells expressing hOCT2, but not that of control cells. Coadministration of cimetidine, a known competitive substrate of hOCT2, completely prevented this ifosfamide-induced toxicity. Finally, ifosfamide but not cyclophosphamide depolarized proximal tubular cells. We propose that the nephrotoxicity of ifosfamide is due to its selective uptake by hOCT2 into renal proximal tubular cells, and that coadministration of cimetidine may be used to prevent ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Organic anion transporters 1-10 (OAT1-10) and the urate transporter 1 (URAT1) belong to the SLC22A gene family and accept a huge variety of chemically unrelated endogenous and exogenous organic anions including many frequently described drugs. OAT1 and OAT3 are located in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells and are responsible for drug uptake from the blood into the cells. OAT4 in the apical membrane of human proximal tubule cells is related to drug exit into the lumen and to uptake of estrone sulfate and urate from the lumen into the cell. URAT1 is the major urate-absorbing transporter in the apical membrane and is a target for uricosuric drugs. OAT10, also located in the luminal membrane, transports nicotinate with high affinity and interacts with drugs. Major extrarenal locations of OATs include the blood-brain barrier for OAT3, the placenta for OAT4, the nasal epithelium for OAT6, and the liver for OAT2 and OAT7. For all transporters we provide information on cloning, tissue distribution, factors influencing OAT abundance, interaction with endogenous compounds and different drug classes, drug/drug interactions and, if known, single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid (AA), present in Aristolochia species, is the major causative agent in the development of severe renal failure and urothelial cancers in patients with AA nephropathy. It may also be a cause of Balkan endemic nephropathy. Epithelial cells of the proximal tubule are the primary cellular target of AA. To study whether organic anion transporters (OATs) expressed in proximal tubule cells are involved in uptake of AA, we used human epithelial kidney (HEK293) cells stably expressing human (h) OAT1, OAT3 or OAT4. AA potently inhibited the uptake of characteristic substrates, p-aminohippurate for hOAT1 and estrone sulfate for hOAT3 and hOAT4. Aristolochic acid I (AAI), the more cytotoxic and genotoxic AA congener, exhibited high affinity for hOAT1 (K(i)=0.6 microM) as well as hOAT3 (K(i)=0.5 microM), and lower affinity for hOAT4 (K(i)=20.6 microM). Subsequently, AAI-DNA adduct formation (investigated by (32)P-postlabelling) was used as a measure of AAI uptake. Significantly higher levels of adducts occurred in hOAT-expressing cells than in control cells: this effect was abolished in the presence of the OAT inhibitor probenecid. In Xenopus laevis oocytes hOAT-mediated efflux of p-aminohippurate was trans-stimulated by extracellular AA, providing further molecular evidence for AA translocation by hOATs. Our study indicates that OATs can mediate the uptake of AA into proximal tubule cells and thereby participate in kidney cell damage by this toxin.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of sulfate is achieved by the sodium-dependent sulfate transporter, NaSi-1, located at the apical membrane, and the sulfate-anion exchanger, sat-1, located at the basolateral membrane. To delineate the physiological role of rat sat-1, [35S]sulfate and [14C]oxalate uptake into sat-1-expressing oocytes was determined under various experimental conditions. Influx of [35S]sulfate was inhibited by bicarbonate, thiosulfate, sulfite, and oxalate, but not by sulfamate and sulfide, in a competitive manner with Ki values of 2.7 ± 1.3 mM, 101.7 ± 9.7 μM, 53.8 ± 10.9 μM, and 63.5 ± 38.7 μM, respectively. Vice versa, [14C]oxalate uptake was inhibited by sulfate with a Ki of 85.9 ± 9.5 μM. The competitive type of inhibition indicates that these compounds are most likely substrates of sat-1. Physiological plasma bicarbonate concentrations (25 mM) reduced sulfate and oxalate uptake by more than 75%. Simultaneous application of sulfate, bicarbonate, and oxalate abolished sulfate as well as oxalate uptake. These data and electrophysiological studies using a two-electrode voltage-clamp device provide evidence that sat-1 preferentially works as an electroneutral sulfate-bicarbonate or oxalate-bicarbonate exchanger. In kidney proximal tubule cells, sat-1 likely completes sulfate reabsorption from the ultrafiltrate across the basolateral membrane in exchange for bicarbonate. In hepatocytes, oxalate extrusion is most probably mediated either by an exchange for sulfate or bicarbonate.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is usually chemoresistant. This chemoresistance could be overcome if specific cytostatics are applied for which the RCC expresses an uptake transporter. In the present study, we investigated the expression of solute carrier (SLC) transporters in different RCC lines and their ability to interact with chemotherapeutics. We tested five RCC lines for the expression of different SLCs by reverse transcription-PCR and TaqMan real-time PCR. In two of five RCC lines, A498 and 7860, we observed a highly significant expression of SLC22A3 (hOCT3). Uptake of the organic cation [(3)H]MPP (4-methyl-pyridinium iodide) into these cells and also into hOCT3 stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was inhibited by irinotecan, vincristine, and melphalan. The K(i) values [determined from Dixon plots] for irinotecan, vincristine, and melphalan were 1.72 +/- 0.45 micromol/L, 17 +/- 4.81 micromol/L, and 366 +/- 51 micromol/L, respectively. Cytotoxic activities of the selected drugs were tested by [(3)H]thymidine incorporation and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays on CHO-hOCT3, A498 (high expression of hOCT3), and ACHN cell lines (low expression of hOCT3). The growth of CHO-hOCT3 was inhibited by 20% more with irinotecan and by 50% more with vincristine compared with nontransfected CHO cells. Melphalan produced 20% to 30% more inhibition in hOCT3-expressing cells compared with nonexpressing control cells. Similar results were obtained for A498 and ACHN cells. Thus, our data support the hypothesis that the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic treatment depends on the expression of transporter proteins mediating specific drug accumulation into target cells.

Abstract
The renal function of the A(3) adenosine receptor (A3AR) is poorly characterized. In this study, we report that the A3AR-selective agonist, 1-[2-chloro-6-[[(3-iodophenyl)methyl]amino]-9H-purine-9-yl]-1-deoxy-N-methyl-b-D-ribofuranuronamide (2-Cl-IBMECA) regulates the Na+/H+ exchanger-3 (NHE3) in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. In opossum kidney (OK) cells, 2-Cl-IBMECA at high (10(-6) M) and low (10(-8) M) dose inhibits NHE3 by a multiphasic time course with an acute phase of NHE3 inhibition from 15 min to 1 h, followed by a chronic phase of NHE3 inhibition from 24 to 48 h. Pre-incubation with either the selective A3AR-antagonist MRS1523 (10(-7) M) or the protein kinase C inhibitor, Calphostin C (10(-8) M) completely blocked 10(-6) M 2-Cl-IBMECA-induced acute (15 min) and chronic (24 h) phases of NHE3 inhibition. In contrast, the acute inhibitory phase (15 min) of 10(-8) M 2-Cl-IBMECA was completely prevented only when Calphostin C (10(-8) M) was added in conjunction with the protein kinase A inhibitor, H89 (10(-7) M). Acute (15 or 30 min depending on the A3AR-agonist concentration) A3AR-dependent inhibition of NHE3 activity was accompanied by decrease in cell surface NHE3 protein with no change in total NHE3 antigen. Chronic (24 h) A3AR-mediated down-regulation of NHE3 was associated with reduction of surface NHE3, decreased total NHE3 protein (70%) and a paradoxical rise of NHE3 RNA (40%). In summary, these results indicate that A3AR directly regulates NHE3 at multiple levels in a complex pattern. A3AR-dependent short- and long-term inhibition of NHE3 may be a fundamental mechanism of net sodium and fluid balance.

Abstract
The orphan transporter hORCTL3 (human organic cation transporter like 3; SLC22A13) is highly expressed in kidneys and to a weaker extent in brain, heart, and intestine. hORCTL3-expressing Xenopus laevis oocytes showed uptake of [(3)H]nicotinate, [(3)H]p-aminohippurate, and [(14)C]urate. Hence, hORCTL3 is an organic anion transporter, and we renamed it hOAT10. [(3)H]Nicotinate transport by hOAT10 into X. laevis oocytes and into Caco-2 cells was saturable with Michaelis constants (K(m)) of 22 and 44 microm, respectively, suggesting that hOAT10 may be the molecular equivalent of the postulated high affinity nicotinate transporter in kidneys and intestine. The pH dependence of hOAT10 suggests p-aminohippurate(-)/OH(-), urate(-)/OH(-), and nicotinate(-)/OH(-) exchange as possible transport modes. Urate inhibited [(3)H]nicotinate transport by hOAT10 with an IC(50) value of 759 microm, assuming that hOAT10 represents a low affinity urate transporter. hOAT10-mediated [(14)C]urate uptake was elevated by an exchange with l -lactate, pyrazinoate, and nicotinate. Surprisingly, we have detected urate(-)/glutathione exchange by hOAT10, consistent with an involvement of hOAT10 in the renal glutathione cycle. Uricosurics, diuretics, and cyclosporine A showed substantial interactions with hOAT10, of which cyclosporine A enhanced [(14)C]urate uptake, providing the first molecular evidence for cyclosporine A-induced hyperuricemia.
