Popis: Cyclosporin A at concentrations of more than 10 nM protects isolated hepatocytes against the action of phalloidin. Cyclosporin A at 100 nM inhibits the uptake of demethyl[ 3 H]phalloin by 50%, and at 5 μM also that of [ 14 C]cholate. This inhibition is independent of the preincubation period and is not reversed by washing the cells. With a 30–60-fold excess of cyclosporin A, affinity labeling of plasma membrane proteins using 12 μM [ 3 H]isothiocyanatobenzamido cholate was reduced to 40–60% of the control. These findings indicate that transport inhibition by cyclosporin A in liver cells cannot be explained by simple competition on the level of the membrane protein(s) involved.
