Regulation of Intestinal Butyrate Transporters by Oxidative and Inflammatory Status [PDF]
Beneficial effects of the microbiota-derived metabolite butyrate at the colonic level are well established, particularly through its relevance in colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), two major intestinal pathologies.

The role of charged residues in the transmembrane helices of monocarboxylate transporter 1 and its ancillary protein basigin in determining plasma membrane expression and catalytic activity [PDF]
Monocarboxylate transporters MCT1-MCT4 require basigin (CD147) or embigin (gp70), ancillary proteins with a glutamate residue in their single transmembrane (TM) domain, for plasma membrane (PM) expression and activity. Here we use site-directed mutagenesis and expression in COS cells or Xenopus oocytes to investigate whether this glutamate (Glu218 in ...

Lactylation landscape of mitochondrial proteins in myocardial infarction [PDF]
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI), in which cardiomyocytes shift from fatty acid oxidation to anaerobic glycolysis, leading to elevated lactate production and mitochondrial dysfunction. Lactylation, a recently discovered

Monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) protein expression in head and neck cancer affects clinical outcome [PDF]
AbstractTreatment of locally advanced, unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) often yields only modest results with radiochemotherapy (RCT) as standard of care. Prognostic features related to outcome upon RCT might be highly valuable to improve treatment.

A rare thyroid disorder mimicking mitochondrial disease [PDF]
Introduction. Patients affected with Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) have a deficiency of monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), a protein primarily responsible for the transport of triiodothyronine (T3) into the brain.

Sodium-coupled monocarboxylate transporter 1 interacts with the RING finger- and PDZ domain-containing protein PDZRN3 [PDF]
Sodium-coupled monocarboxylate transporter SMCT1 (SLC5A8) mediates monocarboxylate transport in the proximal tubule of the kidney. We have identified PDZK1 and PDZ domain-containing RING finger 3 (PDZRN3) as potent binding partners of SMCT1, which has a PDZ motif (Thr-Arg-Leu), by yeast two-hybrid screening and revealed that PDZK1 enhances the ...

SLC20a1/PiT-1 is required for chorioallantoic placental morphogenesis
The placenta mediates the transport of nutrients, such as inorganic phosphate (Pi), between the maternal and fetal circulatory systems. The placenta itself also requires high levels of nutrient uptake as it develops to provide critical support for fetal ...

Differential Expression of Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 and Ancillary Protein CD147 in Red Blood Cells of Show Jumping Horses [PDF]
We compare the expression levels of the lactate transporter complex consisting of the lactate transporter, monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), and its ancillary protein, cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147), in the membranes of red blood cells (RBCs) from two breeds of jumping horses and associate the expression levels of these proteins with their ...

Intestinal OCTN2- and MCT1-targeted drug delivery to improve oral bioavailability
Various drug transporters are widely expressed throughout the intestine and play important roles in absorbing nutrients and drugs, thus providing high quality targets for the design of prodrugs or nanoparticles to facilitate oral drug delivery.
