Transport mechanism and affinity of [99mTc]Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine ([99mTc]MAG3) on the apical membrane of renal proximal tubule cells
Technetium-99m-labeled mercaptoacetyltriglycine ([99mTc]MAG3) is widely used for evaluation of transplanted kidneys, diagnosis of tubular necrosis, and scintigraphic studies of tubular function. [99mTc]MAG3 is a substrate for organic anion transporter (OAT)1 and OAT3 on the basolateral membrane side...

Zusammenfassung: | Technetium-99m-labeled mercaptoacetyltriglycine ([99mTc]MAG3) is widely used for evaluation of transplanted kidneys, diagnosis of tubular necrosis, and scintigraphic studies of tubular function. [99mTc]MAG3 is a substrate for organic anion transporter (OAT)1 and OAT3 on the basolateral membrane side for renal secretion. We investigated the transport mechanism and affinity of [99mTc]MAG3 on the apical membrane of renal proximal tubule cells for renal secretion. Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters for renal secretion of [99mTc]MAG3 were examined using ABC transporter vesicles expressing multiple drug resistance 1 (MDR1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)2, and MRP4. MK-571, a MRP inhibitor, was applied to measure the Km and Vmax of MRP2 and MRP4 in a vesicle transport assay. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in normal rats and MRP2-deficient Eisai hyperbilirubinuria rats (EHBR) using [99mTc]MAG3 with and without MK-571. [99mTc]MAG3 uptake in adenosine triphosphate was significantly higher than that in adenosine monophosphate in vesicles that highly expressed MRP2 and MRP4. The affinity of [99mTc]MAG3 for MRP4 was higher than that for MRP2. Renal secretion via MRP2 and MRP4 was identified by comparing normal and EHBR rats with and without MK-571 on SPECT. [99mTc]MAG3 is transported via MRP2 and MRP4 on the apical membrane of renal proximal tubule cells. The affinity of MRP4 is higher than that of MRP2.
