Sodium and chloride ion-dependent transport of beta-alanine across the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract:

:The characteristics of beta-alanine transport at the blood-brain barrier were studied by using primary cultured bovine brain capillary endothelial cells. Kinetic analysis of the beta-[3H]alanine transport indicated that the transporter for beta-alanine functions with Kt of 25.3 +/- 2.5 microM and Jmax of 6.90 +/- 0.48 nmol/30 min/mg of protein in the brain capillary endothelial cells. Beta-[3H]Alanine uptake is mediated by an active transporter, because metabolic inhibitors (2,4-dinitrophenol and NaN3) and low temperature reduced the uptake significantly. Furthermore, the uptake of beta-[3H]alanine required Na+ and Cl- in the external medium. Stoichiometric analysis of the transport demonstrated that two sodium ions and one chloride ion are associated with one beta-alanine molecule. The Na+ and Cl--dependent uptake of beta-[3H]alanine was stimulated by a valinomycin-induced inside-negative K+-diffusion potential. beta-Amino acids (beta-alanine, taurine, and hypotaurine) inhibited strongly the uptake of beta-[3H]-alanine, whereas alpha- and gamma-amino acids had little or no inhibitory effect. In ATP-depleted cells, the uptake of beta-[3H]alanine was stimulated by preloading of beta-alanine or taurine but not L-leucine. These results show that beta-alanine is taken up by brain capillary endothelial cells, via the secondary active transport mechanism that is common to beta-amino acids.
