Transporters within the placenta play a crucial role in the distribution of nutrients and xenobiotics across the maternal-fetal interface. An organic anion transport system was identified on the apical membrane of the rat placenta cell line HRP-1, a model for the placenta barrier. The apical uptake of3H-labeled organic anion estrone sulfate in HRP-1 cells was saturable (Km= 4.67 μM), temperature and Na+dependent, Li+tolerant, and pH sensitive. The substrate specificity of the transport system includes various steroid sulfates, such as β-estradiol 3,17-disulfate, 17β-estradiol 3-sulfate, and dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate (DHEAS) but does not include taurocholate,p-aminohippuric acid (PAH), and tetraethylammonium. Preincubation of HRP-1 cells with 8-bromo-cAMP (a cAMP analog) and forskolin (an adenylyl cyclase activator) acutely stimulated the apical transport activity. This stimulation was further enhanced in the presence of IBMX (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Together these data show that the apical membrane of HRP-1 cells expresses an organic anion transport system that is regulated by cellular cAMP levels. This transport system appears to be different from the known taurocholate-transporting organic anion-transporting polypeptides and PAH-transporting organic anion transporters, both of which also mediate the transport of estrone sulfate and DHEAS.
