4'-Thio-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl cytosine (TaraC) is in phase I development for treatment of cancer. In human equilibrative nucleoside transporter (hENT) 1-containing CEM cells, initial rates of uptake (10 mu M; picomoles per microliter of cell water per second) of [H-3] TaraC and [H-3]1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl cytosine ( araC) were low (0.007 +/- 003 and 0.034 +/- 0.003, respectively) compared with that of [H-3] uridine (0.317 +/- 0.048), a high-activity hENT1 permeant. In hENT1- and hENT2-containing HeLa cells, initial rates of uptake ( 10 mu M; picomoles per cell per second) of [H-3] TaraC, [H-3] araC, and [H-3] deoxycytidine were low (0.30 +/- 0.003, 0.42 +/- 0.03, and 0.51 +/- 0.11, respectively) and mediated primarily by hENT1 (similar to 74, similar to 65, and similar to 61%, respectively). In HeLa cells with recombinant human concentrative nucleoside transporter (hCNT) 1 or hCNT3 and pharmacologically blocked hENT1 and hENT2, transport of 10 mu M [H-3] TaraC and [H-3] araC was not detected. The apparent affinities of recombinant transporters ( produced in yeast) for a panel of cytosine-containing nucleosides yielded results that were consistent with the observed low-permeant activities of TaraC and araC for hENT1/2 and negligible permeant activities for hCNT1/2/3. During prolonged drug exposures of CEM cells with hENT1 activity, araC was more cytotoxic than TaraC, whereas coexposures with nitrobenzylthioinosine ( to pharmacologically block hENT1) yielded identical cytotoxicities for araC and TaraC. The introduction by gene transfer of hENT2 and hCNT1 activities, respectively, into nucleoside transport-defective CEM cells increased sensitivity to both drugs moderately and slightly. These results demonstrated that nucleoside transport capacity ( primarily via hENT1, to a lesser extent by hENT2 and possibly by hCNT1) is a determinant of pharmacological activity of both drugs.
