Fluorescein-methotrexate transport in rat choroid plexus analyzed using confocal microscopy.

چکیده
One function of the vertebrate choroid plexus (CP) is removal of potentially toxic metabolites and xenobiotics from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to blood for subsequent excretion in urine and bile. We have used confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis to follow transport of the large organic anion fluorescein-methotrexate (FL-MTX) from bath (CSF side) to blood vessels in intact rat CP and found concentrative transport from CSF to blood. With 2 microM FL-MTX in the bath, steady-state fluorescence in the subepithelium and vascular spaces exceeded bath levels by 5- to 10-fold, but fluorescence in epithelial cells was below bath levels. FL-MTX accumulation in subepithelium and vascular spaces was reduced by NaCN, Na removal, and by other organic anions, e.g., MTX, probenecid, and estrone sulfate. Increasing medium K 10-fold had no effect. None of these treatments affected cellular accumulation. However, two observations indicated that apical FL-MTX uptake was indeed mediated: first, cellular accumulation was a saturable function of medium substrate concentration; and second, digoxin and MK-571 reduced FL-MTX accumulation in the subepithelial/vascular spaces but also increased cellular accumulation severalfold. In the presence of digoxin and MK-571, cellular accumulation was concentrative, specific, and Na dependent. Thus transepithelial FL-MTX transport involved the following two mediated steps: Na-dependent uptake at the apical membrane and electroneutral efflux at the basolateral membrane, possibly on Oatp2 and Mrp1.

Confocal imaging of organic anion transport in intact rat choroid plexus.
We used confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis to follow the movement of the fluorescent organic anion fluorescein (FL) from bath to cell and cell to blood vessel in intact rat lateral choroid plexus. FL accumulation in epithelial cells and underlying vessels was rapid, concentrative, and reduced by other organic anions. At steady state, cell fluorescence exceeded bath fluorescence...

The vertebrate choroid plexus removes potentially toxic metabolites and xenobiotics from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to blood for subsequent excretion in urine and bile. We used confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis to characterize the mechanisms driving transport of the large organic anion, fluorescein-methotrexate (FL-MTX), from bath (CSF-side) to blood vessels in intact lateral c...

Transepithelial organic anion transport across shark choroid plexus
Spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) lateral and IVth choroid plexuses (CP) are ultrastructurally similar to the corresponding tissues of rat. However, shark IVth CP is proportionally larger and easily accessible. Moreover, this epithelial sheet can be halved and studied in Ussing flux chambers. We have characterized transepithelial transport of the organic anions, fluorescein (FL) and 2,4-d...
متن کاملDichotomous development of the organic anion transport protein in liver and choroid plexus.
Both adult liver and choroid plexus express the organic anion transport protein (oatp1) and transport [35S]bromosulfophthalein (BSP). Studies of the developing rat liver reveal that oatp1 mRNA and protein do not begin to be expressed until 15 days postnatal and are at adult levels by 30 days. Uptake of [35S]BSP follows the same time course. In contrast, neonatal rat choroid plexus expresses oat...
