The organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) belongs together with OCT2 and OCT3 to the solute carrier family 22 (SLC22). OCTs are involved in the movement of organic cations through the plasma membrane. In humans, OCT1 is mainly expressed in the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes, while in rodents, OCT1 is strongly represented also in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells. Considering that organic cations of endogenous origin are important neurotransmitters and that those of exogenous origin are important drugs, these transporters have significant physiological and pharmacological implications. Because of the high expression of OCTs in excretory organs, their activity has the potential to significantly impact not only local but also systemic concentration of their substrates. Even though many aspects governing OCT function, interaction with substrates, and pharmacological role have been extensively investigated, less is known about regulation of OCTs. Possible mechanisms of regulation include genetic and epigenetic modifications, rapid regulation processes induced by kinases, regulation caused by protein–protein interaction, and long-term regulation induced by specific metabolic and pathological situations. In this mini-review, the known regulatory processes of OCT1 expression and function obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies are summarized. Further research should be addressed to integrate this knowledge to known aspects of OCT1 physiology and pharmacology.

In these studies, a clone of cells derived from the porcine renal epithelial line LLC-PK1 grown on porous filters was used to evaluate basolateral uptake of the organic cation tetraethylammonium (TEA). (3H) TEA (1 microM) entered cells in a saturable and time-dependent manner achieving a steady-state value at 2 to 2.5 h. Uptake was reduced by hypothermia and the metabolic inhibitors sodium azide and iodoacetate. Several other organic cations in 1 mM concentrations inhibited the majority of TEA uptake. In lower concentrations, the inhibitory potency of these was: verapamil greater than cimetidine approximately amiloride approximately quinidine greater than procainamide approximately N1-methylnicotinamide. When sodium was replaced with potassium in the uptake medium, TEA uptake was also reduced consistent with electrogenic transport. However, uptake was reduced further by 1 mM cimetidine in the presence of both NaCl and KCl buffers. TEA uptake was not significantly different when the media pH was varied from 6.0 to 8.0. In addition, results of experiments in which intracellular pH was altered with NH4Cl were not consistent with the presence of organic cation/proton exchange. TEA/TEA exchange could not be demonstrated in experiments in which cells were preloaded with 1 mM nonradioactive TEA and uptake of (3H)TEA was measured or in which nonradioactive TEA in the external medium failed to enhance efflux from cells preloaded with (3H)TEA. These results indicate that the basolateral membrane of LLC-PKc10 cells has one or more transport processes for the mediated uptake of organic cations. However, the precise mechanism(s) involved in this transport remains to be elucidated.

Abstract35Cl NQR spectra of eleven hexachlorometallates (IV) A1 [MCl6] and A'[MCl6], M = Sn, Te, Pb, and A+ =ethylammonium, 4-picolinium, anilinium, triethylammonium, chinoxalinium, and piperi-dinium ions, and A'2+ = 1.3-propylenediammonium ion, have been observed as a function of tem-perature. The ethylammonium hexachlorometallates(IV) (C2H5 NH3)2 [MCl6], M = Sn, Te, show a phase transition at 128.8 K and 204 K, respectively. Both compounds yield a single resonance line in their high temperature phases. In case of the stannate this single 35Cl resonance line splits up into two lines at Tc = 128.8 K, whereas for the tellurate no 35Cl NQR signals could be found in the low temperature phase. A phase transition was also found for the 1.3-propylenediammonium hexa-chlorostannate(IV) at 287 K where the six line NQR spectrum of the low temperature phase changes into a four line spectrum. In contrast, the corresponding plumbate shows no transition. All other compounds studied contain distorted [MCl6]2- octahedra, and therefore they yield more than one 35Cl resonance line. The complexes have been investigated in the temperature range temperature where the lines fade out. In case of the hexachlorostannates(IV) with the ethylammonium, the 1.3-propylenediammonium and the triethylammonium ions, the crystal structures of the compounds are known and compared with the results of the 35Cl NQR spectroscopy.
