Influx kinetics and inhibitor specificity have been compared for the transport of methotrexate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and folate in CCRF-CEM human lymphoblastoid cells. Influx of each folate compound proceeded with approximately the sameVmax, fluctuated in the same fashion with the ionic composition of the medium, and was blocked by low concentrations of anN-hydroxysuccinimide ester of methotrexate in both an anion-deficient buffer and in a buffered saline medium containing physiological concentrations of glucose and bicarbonate. Moreover, methotrexate influx was inhibited by 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate, and the inhibition constants (Ki) of the latter compounds were equivalent to theirKtvalues for half-maximal influx. Folate influx was likewise inhibited by methotrexate. TheKifor methotrexate was equivalent to itsKtfor influx, ando-phthalate and phosphate each inhibited folate and methotrexate with the same degree of effectiveness. Various reversible and irreversible inhibitors reduced the influx of each folate substrate by >90%, and the progression of inhibition in each case was indicative of a single uptake component. Folate influx exhibited the same high sensitivity to inhibitors of methotrexate influx when measurements were performed at folate concentrations near theKtfor influx (10–50 μM) or at concentrations approximating physiological conditions (5–20 nM). These results indicate that CCRF-CEM cells possess a single shared transport system for the uptake of methotrexate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and folate and that other high- or low-affinity uptake processes are not present in these cells.
