| Popis: | 5-[125I]Iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IdUrd) has been shown to serve as a permeant for the nucleoside transport system of human erythrocytes and to be matabolically inert in these cells. Linear initial velocities were obtained at 20 degrees C for 125IdUrd transport, yielding a Km of 73 +/- 18 microM (n = 6). Low-affinity inhibitors of 125IdUrd transport, such as adenosine (Ki = 32 +/- 2 microM, n = 2), could be characterized by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. However, high-affinity inhibitors, such as 6-[(4-nitrobenzyl)thio]-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpurine, caused nonlinear initial velocities when added to the cells simultaneously with 125IdUrd. Conditions were defined (viz., 20-min pretreatment of cells with test compound followed by 5.0-min incubation with 1.0 microM 125IdUrd, all at 20 degrees C) whereby high-affinity inhibitors of IdUrd transport can be identified and evaluated according to their 50% inhibitory concentrations. The use of 125IdUrd as permeant greatly expedites the testing of compounds as inhibitors of nucleoside transport by allowing the cell pellets generated in these assays to be monitored directly in a gamma spectrometer, thereby circumventing the solubilization and decolorization of cell pellets required by assays that use 3H- or 14C-labeled nucleoside permeants. |
