Abstract:
Objective:Glutamine is the main oxidative fuel of the enterocyte which enters the enterocyte primarily via amino acid transporters.The aim of the test was to study the distributions and functions of glutamine transporters in IEC-6 cell line.Methods:The rat intestinal epithelial cell line(IEC-6) was incubated in vitro.The mRNA expression of different glutamine transporters,protein expression of system ASCT2,and the [3H]-L-glutamine uptake were measured.Results:The mRNA of system ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,LAT2 was expressed and the protein expression of ASCT2 was also validated in IEC-6.In Na+-containing buffer,the velocity of Na+-dependent glutamine uptake was(164.07?37.94) fmol/(mg protein?10min).In Na+-free buffer,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(58.71?10.51)fmol/(mg protein?10min).With the saturate dosage of MeAIB,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(81.02 ?19.59) fmol/(mg protein?10min).Conclusion:There may be five kinds of glutamine transporters(ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,and LAT2) in IEC-6 cell.The Na+-dependent transporter was the major contributor(64.22%) to glutamine total uptake in IEC-6.The contributions of system A and the remainder were 50.62% and 13.60%,respectively.The Na+-independent transporter was the lesser contributor(35.78%).
