To investigate the placental DHA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) transport mechanism, the uptake of DHA-S into microvillous membrane vesicles prepared from human term placenta was studied using the rapid filtration technique. 1. The uptake of DHA-S into microvillous membrane vesicles was not dependent on both Na+ electrochemical gradient and membrane potential difference. 2. The uptake of DHA-S into microvillous membrane vesicles was dependent on temperature. The initial uptake rate of DHA-S at 37 degrees C was three times as great as at 4 degrees C. 3. The initial rate of DHA-S transport exhibited saturation kinetics with respect to the DHA-S concentration; an apparent Km of 0.067 mM and Vmax of 1.01 nmol/mg protein/20 sec were calculated. 4. The uptake of DHA-S into microvillous membrane vesicles was inhibited by DHA, but not by estriol. These results indicated that placental DHA-S transport was carrier mediated and a passive one.

D008871 Microvilli Minute projections of cell membranes which greatly increase the surface area of the cell. Brush Border,Striated Border,Border, Brush,Border, Striated,Borders, Brush,Borders, Striated,Brush Borders,Microvillus,Striated Borders
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D003687 Dehydroepiandrosterone A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
