BackgroundRecent clinical studies have shown that increased serum levels ofp-cresyl sulfate (PCS), a uremic toxin, are associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular outcomes. Using rat renal cortical slices, we previously reported that the rat organic anion transporter (OAT) could play a key role in the renal tubular secretion of PCS. However, no information is currently available regarding the transport of PCS via human OAT (hOAT) isoforms, hOAT1 and hOAT3.MethodsUptake experiments of PCS were performed using HEK293 cells, which stably express hOAT1 or hOAT3.ResultsPCS was taken up by hOAT1/HEK293 and hOAT3/HEK293 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The apparentKmfor the hOAT1-mediated transport of PCS was 128 μM, whereas in hOAT3/HEK293, saturation was not observed at the highest tested PCS concentration of 5 mM. Probenecid, an OAT inhibitor, inhibited PCS transport by hOAT1 and hOAT3. The uptake ofp-aminohippurate by hOAT1 and estron-3-sulfate by hOAT3 was decreased with increasing PCS concentration. The apparent 50 % inhibitory concentrations for PCS were 690 and 485 μM for hOAT1 and hOAT3, respectively.ConclusionPCS is a substrate for hOAT1 and hOAT3, and hOAT1 and hOAT3 appear to play a physiological role as a high-capacity PCS transporter. Since hOATs are expressed not only in the kidneys, but also in blood vessels and osteoblasts, etc., these findings are of great significance in terms of elucidating the renal clearance, tissue disposition of PCS and the mechanism of its toxicity in CKD.
