Characterization of glutamic acid uptake by bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells

Pulmonary Division, New England Medical Center Hospitals, Boston, Massachusetts.

L-Glutamic acid uptake by bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in culture increased linearly with time up to 30 min and did not show saturation with increased substrate concentration up to 6 X 10(-3) M. The uptake per cell decreased as cell density increased and was lowest when the cells became fully confluent. Most of the uptake was sodium dependent, although the relative contribution of sodium-independent uptake increased with an increase in cell density. Cysteic and aspartic acid strongly inhibited L-glutamic acid uptake, but at higher cell densities this effect was less pronounced than at low densities. Other amino acids, including leucine, glutamine, and serine, exerted a modest inhibitory effect at both high and low cell densities. Thus pulmonary arterial endothelial cells contain similar membrane transport systems for L-glutamic acid as those previously described for fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and nerve cells. However, quantitative properties of the transport systems differ depending on the state of cellular density in monolayers.
