Tissue uptake and degradation of I-125-tyramine-cellobiose-labelled filamentous actin, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and actin-DBP complex were studied in the rat. Actin and actin-DBP complex were cleared from plasma at a faster rate than was DBP. About 40% of injected actin was recovered in the liver between 10 and 30 min after administration. Of the total radioactivity recovered in the liver, about 35% and 40% was detected in parenchymal and endothelial cells respectively when labelled actin or DBP-actin complex was injected intravenously. When labelled DBP alone was injected, approx. 55% of the radioactivity recovered in liver was in the Kupffer cells. These results suggest that actin is targeting the DBP-actin complex to the endothelial and parenchymal liver cells. Filamentous actin was also taken up in large amounts and at a rapid rate in parenchymal as well as non-parenchymal liver cells in vitro. Our data indicate that the rat has a mechanism to clear actin and the DBP-actin complex from plasma and that both parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells are involved in this process.
