Conjugated bile acid uptake by Xenopus laevis oocytes induced by microinjection with ileal Poly A+ mRNA.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Apical membranes of ileal enterocytes contain the major Na+/bile acid cotransporter activity in mammals. Microinjection of guinea pig ileal mucosal Poly A+ mRNA (25 ng) into Xenopus oocytes resulted in 22,23-3H-cholyltaurine uptake at day 3 after injection (453 fmol/oocyte-hr), while control viral mRNA (25 ng) gave an uptake rate of 133 fmol/oocyte-hr. The transport rate increased in direct relationship to the concentration of injected mRNA, cholyltaurine, or Na+ in the incubation media. Uptake of cholyltaurine using rabbit ileal mucosal Poly A+ mRNA was 3891 fmole/oocyte-hr compared to rabbit jejunal-mucosa Poly A+ mRNA (control) injections inducing 728 fmol/oocyte-hr. Such expression of the ileal Na+/bile acid cotransporter may facilitate cloning of this key mammalian gene.
