Background & Aims: The molecular regulation of hepatic bile acid transporters during cholestasis is largely unknown. Cloning of complementary DNAs for the sinusoidal sodium-dependent taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (ntcp), the cytosolic bile acid-binding protein 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSD), and a putative canalicular bile acid transporter Ca2+, Mg2+-ecto-adenosine triphosphatase, now facilitates such studies,Methods: Protein mass, steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) levels, and gene transcription were assessed in rat livers after common bile duct ligation (CBDL) from 1-7 days, and taurocholate uptake was determined in isolated hepatocytes.Results: After CBDL, Nat-dependent taurocholate uptake (V-max) declined by 70%, The levels of ntcp protein were reduced by more than 90%, and 3 alpha-HSD levels decreased by 66% by 7 days, Expression and canalicular localization of the ecto-adenosine triphosphatase remained unchanged, mRNA levels for both ntcp and 3 alpha-HSD diminished by about 60% 1 day after CBDL and remained unchanged up to 7 days. Transcriptional activity was decreased 1 day after CBDL only for ntcp,Conclusions: Extrahepatic cholestasis results in rapid down-regulation of Na+-dependent taurocholate uptake, ntcp transcription, and posttranscriptional regulation of both ntcp and 3 alpha-HSD mRNA, This selective decline of ntcp may represent a protective feedback mechanism in cholestasis to diminish uptake of potentially hepatotoxic bile acids.
