Riboflavin (vitamin B2) supply to the retina across the inner blood-retinal barrier (BRB) was investigated. In rats, the apparent influx permeability clearance of [H-3]riboflavin (62.8 mu L/(min.g retina) was much higher than that of a non- permeable paracellular marker, suggesting the facilitative influx transport of riboflavin across the BRB. The retinal uptake index (RUI) of [H-3] riboflavin was 59.0%, and significantly reduced by flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), but not by L-ascorbic acid, suggesting the substrate specificity of riboflavin transport.TR-iBRB2 cells, an in vitro model of the inner BRB, showed a temperature-and concentration-dependent [H-3] riboflavin uptake with a K-m of 113 nM, suggesting that the influx transport of riboflavin across the inner BRB involves a carrier- mediated process. [H-3] Riboflavin uptake by TR-iBRB2 cells was slightly altered by Na+- and Cl (-) -free buffers, suggesting that riboflavin transport at the inner BRB is preferentially Na+- and Cl (-) -independent. [H-3] Riboflavin uptake by TR-iBRB2 cells was significantly reduced by riboflavin analogues while the uptake remained unchanged by other vitamins. The function and inhibition profile suggested the involvement of riboflavin transporters (SLC52A/RFVT) in riboflavin transport at the inner BRB, and this is supported by expression and knockdown analysis of rRFVT2 (Slc52a2) and rRFVT3(Slc52a3) in TR-iBRB2 cells.
