N-Arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) is a putative endogenous ligand of the cannabinoid receptor. Intact cerebellar granule neurons in primary culture rapidly accumulate AEA, [H-3]AEA accumulation by cerebellar granule cells is dependent on incubation time (t(1/2) of 2.6 +/- 0.8 min at 37 degrees C) and temperature, The accumulation of AEA is saturable and has an apparent K-m of 41 +/- 15 mu M and a V-max of 0.61 +/- 0.04 nmol/min/10(6) cells. [H-3]AEA accumulation by cerebellar granule cells is significantly reduced by 200 mu M phloretin (51.4 +/- 4% of control) in a noncompetitive manner, [H-3]AEA accumulation is not inhibited by either ouabain or removal of extracellular sodium. [H-3]AEA accumulation is fairly selective for AEA among other naturally occurring N-acylethanolamines; only N-oleoylethanolamine significantly inhibited [H-3]AEA accumulation at a concentration of 10 mu M. The ethanolamides of palmitic acid and linolenic acid were inactive at 10 mu M. N-Arachidonoylbenzylamine and N-arachidonoylpropylamine, but not arachidonic acid, 15-hydroxy-AEA, or 12-hydroxy-AEA, compete for AEA accumulation. When cells are preloaded with [H-3]AEA, temperature-dependent efflux occurs with a half-life of 1.9 +/- 1.0 min, Phloretin does not inhibit [H-3]AEA efflux from cells. These results suggest that AEA is accumulated by cerebellar granule cells by a protein-mediated transport process that has the characteristics of facilitated diffusion.
