The transport of thymidine has been characterized kinetically and thermodynamically in Novikoff rat hepatoma cells grown in culture and, less extensively, in mouse L cells, Chinese hamster ovary cells, P388 murine leukemia cells and HeLa cells. That the characterizations pertained to the transport system per se was ensured,(i) by employing recently developed methods for rapid sampling of cell/substrate mixtures in order to follow isotope movements within a few seconds after initial exposure of cells to substrate;(ii) by utilizing cells rendered, by genetic or chemical means, incapable of metabolizing thymidine; and,(iii) by demonstrating conformity of the transport data to an integrated rate equation derived for a simple, carrier-mediated system. The results indicate that thymidine is transported into mammalian cells by a functionally symmetrical, non-concentrative system for which the carrier: substrate dissociation constant ranges from about 100 μM in Chinese hamster ovary cells, to 230 μM in Novikoff hepatoma cells. In all cell lines investigated, the velocity of transport was sufficient to nearly completely equilibrate low concentrations of thymidine across the membrane within 15 s. Temperature dependence of transport velocity and substrate: carrier dissociation were continuous (E A= 18.3 kcal/mol, ΔH 0′= 9.3 kcal/mol, respectively), and showed no evidence of abrupt transitions. Several natural and artificial nucleosides and nucleic acid based inhibited influx of radiolabeled thymidine, apparently by competing with thymidine for the transport carrier.
