【 摘 要 】

The present study reports gender related differences in ATP-dependent transport of dinitrophenyl-glutathione (GSH) conjugate (DNP-SG), a model GSH xenobiotic conjugate, across murine canalicular liver plasma membrane (cLPM). ATP-dependent transport of DNP-SG across female A/J mouse cLPM was mediated by two components, a high-affinity and a low-affinity component, with corresponding K _m of 18 μM (V _max 0.02 nmol/min·mg) and 500 μM (V _max 0.23 nmol/min·mg), respectively. On the other hand, only one component for the ATP-dependent transport of DNP-SG was observed in male mouse cLPM (K _m 130 μM; V _max 0.18 nmol/min·mg). Moreover, the rate of ATP-dependent transport of DNP-SG was markedly higher in the cLPM fraction of male mouse compared with that of the female. Presence of two transport components in female mouse cLPM, but only one system in the cLPM fraction of male mouse, was confirmed by measuring DNP-SG mediated stimulation of ATP hydrolysis (DNP-SG ATPase activity). To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first report on gender related differences in ATP-dependent murine canalicular transport of GSH conjugates.
