The characteristics of cyclosporin A transport have been studied in cultured kidney epithelial cell line LLC-PK1. The uptake of cyclosporin A by LLC-PK1 cells was time-dependent and reached a steady state at about 30 min. The initial uptake was saturable and was inhibited by cyclosporin A analogs, cyclosporin C and D and by verapamil, but not by metabolic inhibitors such as 2,4-dinitrophenol and rotenone. Cyclosporin A uptake as well as efflux was strongly dependent on temperature. The Arrhenius plot for cyclosporin A uptake was biphasic, whereas the Arrhenius plot for sulfanilamide uptake, which is transported by a simple diffusion, was linear. These results indicate that a specific mechanism is concerned in the transport of cyclosporin A in LLC-PK1, cells.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines

D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.
