Abstract

Many cellular responses to hypoxia are mediated by the transcription factor complex hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). HIF stability is governed by a family of dioxygenases called HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs). Isoquinolone-derived PHD inhibitors, like 2-(1-chloro-4-hydroxyisoquinoline-3-carboxamido) acetate (ICA), which stabilize the intracellular HIF-? have been suggested as a potentially beneficial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of disorders associated with ischemia. To stabilize HIF-?, ICA has to be taken up into proximal tubule cells (PCTs) across the basolateral membrane by one of the organic anion transporters 1, 2 or 3 (OAT1, OAT2 or OAT3). The release into the urine across the luminal membrane may be mediated by OAT4.To demonstrate interaction of ICA with human OAT1, OAT2, OAT3 and OAT4, ICA was tested on these transporters stably transfected in HEK293 cells by using p-aminohippurate (PAH), cGMP and estrone-3-sulfate (ES) as reference substrates, respectively.Uptakes of PAH and ES in OAT1- and OAT3-transfected HEK293 cells were inhibited by ICA with half-maximal inhibition values of 0.29 ± 0.05 and 2.58 ± 0.16 µM, respectively. OAT2 was less sensitive to ICA. Efflux experiments identified ICA as an OAT1 and OAT3 substrate. Preloading OAT4-transfected HEK293 cells with ICA stimulated ES uptake by 18.3 ± 3.8%.The uptake of ICA across the basolateral membrane of PCTs occurs mainly by OAT1 and the efflux into the tubular lumen by OAT4.
