dc.description.abstract | The monolayer-forming, human choriocarcinoma cell line, BeWo, was used to study the mechanisms of monocarboxylic acid transport across the human trophoblast. Benzoic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid were used as markers for monocarboxylic acid carrier-mediated transport. The uptake of benzoic acid by BeWo cells was saturable (Kt = 0.6 ± 0.3 mM) at higher concentrations and significantly inhibited by typical metabolic inhibitors, sodium azide and 2,4-dinitrophenol. A selection of different monocarboxylic acids, including a natural substrate lactic acid, also substantially inhibited the uptake of benzoic acid and acetic acid by BeWo cells, whereas dicarboxylic acids did not affect the uptake of either marker. Monocarboxylic acid uptake was pH-dependent and inhibited by carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP), a protonophore. Kinetic analysis using Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed that monocarboxylic acids competitively inhibited the uptake of benzoic, lactic, and acetic acid by BeWo cells. In transport experiments, the permeation of benzoic acid from apical-to-basolateral side was greater than the permeation from the basolateral-to-apical side, and the transport of benzoic acid from apical-to-basolateral side was inhibited by monocarboxylic acids. The findings obtained in the present study confirm the existence of an asymmetric, carrier-mediated transport system for monocarboxylic acids across the BeWo cell, a representative of the human trophoblast. | |
