The molecular mechanism for the induction of hepatic sodium bile acid cotransport in postpartum rats was examined. These studies established that the induction is transcriptional and is mediated by prolactin acting through its receptor to facilitate Stat5 binding to interferon-γ-activated sequence-like elements in the NTCP promoter.

Gastroenterology 1997; 112:214-225. The effects of endotoxin administration on the transport of two bile acids (taurocholate and taurochenodeoxycholate) and two organic anions (BSP and taurolithocholate) were examined in the isolated perfused liver and isolated sinusoidal and canalicular membranes. The results showed that endotoxemia severely impaired transport of all four organic anions at the hepatic sinusoidal and canalicular membranes.

Hepatic regeneration is associated with reduced bile salt transport. This study showed specific decreases in NTCP gene transcription, mRNA, protein, and activity that paralleled the decrease in bile salt transport following partial hepatectomy.

Am J Physiol 1998; 274:G157-169. The tissue expression of the human ASBT was determined; the ASBT expression in human kidney was verified by direct cloning and mapping of the transcription start sites. Studies in transfected COS and CHO cells showed that the ASBT has a narrower substrate specificity than the related NTCP.

This study showed that the functional expression of the rat ASBT gene in ileum is biphasic with a prenatal onset of expression. The prenatal expression was followed by repression in the early postnatal period and, subsequently, a marked induction at weaning.

Gastroenterology 1997; 113:1599-1608. The rat ASBT mRNA, protein, and activity were upregulated by cholic acid feeding and down-regulated by biliary-diversion. Intraduodenal infusion of taurocholate in biliary-diverted rats also induced transporter protein expression, indicating that the ASBT can be positively regulated by substrate.

Dysfunctional mutations in the ASBT gene were found to cause primary bile acid malabsorption, an autosomal recessive disease associated with congenital diarrhea, fat malabsorption and interruption of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids.

J Clin Invest 1997; 100:2714-2721. By direct cloning, Northern blotting, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry, ASBT was shown to be expressed and functional in rat isolated cholangiocytes and a cholangiocyte cell line, normal rat cholangiocyte cells.

Carrier-mediated transport of conjugated bile acids across the basolateral membrane of biliary epithelial cells. Am J Physiol 1997; 272:G1416-G1424. Experiments using fluorescent conjugated bile acids demonstrated the presence of a carrier-mediated transport mechanism in the cholangiocyte basolateral membrane. This provides a mechanism for the cholehepatic cycling of conjugated or unconjugated bile acids.

Hepatic basolateral sodium-dependent-bile acid transporter expression in two unusual cases of hypercholanemia and in extrahepatic biliary atresia. Hepatology 1997; 25:1176-1183. NTCP expression in patients with hypercholanemia and extrahepatic biliary atresia was examined by Northern blotting, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analysis. No defect in NTCP or its expression was found in the patients with isolated hypercholemia. Interestingly, the elevated serum bile salt concentrations were not sufficient to down-regulate NTCP expression in these patients.

Bile-diverted and streptozotocin-diabetic rat models were used to evaluate the role of variation in transhepatic bile salt flux on NTCP expression. Despite 2.5-fold changes in hepatic bile salt flux, NTCP expression was unchanged.

This system overcomes many of the problems encountered with other hepatocyle cell lines and shows great promise for study of hepatocellular bile salt transport in vitro.

43. +-taurocholate cotransport by translocating transporter to plasma membranes. Am J Physiol 1997; 273:G842-G848. cAMP rapidly increases hepatocyte sodium-dependent bile acid uptake without requiring new transporter synthesis. These studies showed that cAMP increased NTCP protein content in plasma membranes without changing whole cell NTCP content. Thus, sodium-dependent bile acid transport can be regulated by plasma membrane transporter expression without changing hepatocyte NTCP expression.
