Benzylpenicillin transport and subcellular distribution in mouse peritoneal macrophage monolayers. 1982

D B Lowrie, and T J Peters, and A Scoging

[14C]Benzylpenicillin was rapidly taken up into and eluted from mouse peritoneal macrophage monolayers and entered cytosol, lysosomes and phagolysosomes containing Staphylococcus aureus. Equilibrium concentrations in cytosol and lysosomes were consistent with transport by diffusion but partial membrane carrier dependence was evidenced by saturability (Km and Vmax 110 mM and 117 nmoles (10(6) cells)-1 (3 min)-1 respectively) and inhibition by probenecid. Partial dependence of transport on metabolic energy was shown by inhibition with cyanide plus 2-deoxyglucose and the temperature coefficient (Q10) was about 2. Some of the intralysosomal radiolabel accumulated as benzylpenicilloic acid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010400 Penicillin G A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.
