The uptake of L-leucine and L-lysine into vascular smooth muscle cells cultured from the aortas of rats has been investigated. Both amino acids are taken up by saturable systems that are independent of the presence of a'Nat gradient and can be stimulated in trans by neutral bulky amino acids for leu

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the presence of tight junction complexes between brain endothelial cells that restrict paracellular permeability. As a consequence, a number of transport proteins are expressed on cerebral endothelial cells to facilitate the transport of nutrients into the
When mamalian cells are starved for amino acids, the activity of the A amino acid transport system increases, a phenomenon called adaptive regulation. We have examined the effects of those factors which support Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell growth in a defined medium on the derepression of S
Using the double thymidine block technique, Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (ELD) carried i n continuous spinner culture have been synchronized. Simultaneous monitoring of :tH-thymidine incorporation, cell number and mitotic index yielded a cell cycle time of approximately 13.5 hours. This is composed o
We studied the long-terms effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta; 3 to 6 h) on alpha-(methylamino) isobutyric acid (MeAIB), a nonmetabolizable amino acid transported by system A. We found that IL-1beta induced a large decrease in MeAIB uptake by human osteoarthritic synovial cells and a concomitant
