In this study,Xenopus laevisoocytes injected with poly(A)+RNA (mRNA) isolated from human kidney were used to express a Na+-nucleoside cotransporter. Na+-stimulated [3H]thymidine uptake was enhanced 2–3-fold in oocytes injected with 50 ng poly(A)+RNA and 4–5-fold in oocytes injected with 20 ng of a size-fractionated human renal cortex mRNA fragment (2–3 kb) in comparison with water-injected oocytes. Na+-dependent thymidine uptake in oocytes injected with the 2–3 kb mRNA fragment was inhibited significantly by thymidine and guanosine but not by formycin B, consistent with the N4 Na+-nucleoside cotransporter. TheKm(28 μM) of Na+-dependent thymidine uptake in the oocytes injected with the 2–3 kb mRNA fragment was similar to theKm(27 μM) of Na+-dependent thymidine uptake obtained in human renal brush border membrane vesicles. These data suggest for the first time that a Na+-nucleoside cotransporter from human kidney can be expressed inX. laevisoocytes.
