Embryonic development in the reduced folate carrier knockout mouse is modulated by maternal folate supplementation

Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology, 2008
AbstractBACKGROUND: The reduced folate carrier (RFC1) is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein that mediates delivery of 5‐methyltetrahydrofolate into mammalian cells. In this study, embryonic/fetal development is characterized in an RFC1 knockout mouse model in which pregnant dams receive different levels of folate supplementation ...

Kinetics of Reduced Folate Carrier-and Membrane-Associated Folate Receptor-Mediated Transport of Antifolates

2002
Several distinct routes for the uptake of folates and antifolates have been reported. Transport via the reduced folate carrier (RFC) is a carrier-mediated process that generates folate uptake through a bi-directional anion exchange mechanism (1,2). The RFC is characterized by a high affinity (Km: 1–10 µM) for reduced folates and MTX, whereas it has a ...

Reduced folate carrier gene (RFC1) expression and anti-folate resistance in transfected and non-selected cell lines

International Journal of Cancer, 1997
Methotrexate transport deficiency due to decreased reduced folate carrier (RFC) activity has been observed in several cell lines selected for resistance to methotrexate (MTX). Since MTX resistance is multifactorial, however, it is difficult to quantify the relative importance of changes in RFC activity in selected cell lines and even more so to ...

Reduced folate carrier (RFC-1) gene expression in normal and psoriatic skin

Archives of Dermatological Research, 1998
Methotrexate is widely used in the treatment of severe psoriasis. However, little is currently known about the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic activity in the skin. Methotrexate has been shown to be carried into cells through the reduced folate carrier (RFC-1). The recent cloning and characterization of the human gene encoding this transmembranal

Molecular and cellular biology of the human reduced folate carrier

2001
The natural folates are water-soluble members of the B class of vitamins that are essential for cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Since mammalian cells cannot synthesize folates de novo, tightly regulated and sophisticated cellular uptake processes have evolved to sustain sufficient levels of intracellular tetrahydrofolate cofactors to ...

Characterization of a human alternatively spliced truncated reduced folate carrier increasing folate accumulation in parental leukemia cells

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2000
Human CEM‐7A cells established by gradual deprivation of leucovorin from the growth medium, display 100‐fold overexpression of methotrexate transport activity. We found that this was associated with 10‐fold reduced folate carrier gene amplification and 50‐fold overexpression of both the principal 3 kb reduced folate carrier transcript and, surprisingly,

Loss of Reduced Folate Carrier Function and Folate Depletion Result in Enhanced Pemetrexed Inhibition of Purine Synthesis

Clinical Cancer Research, 2005
Abstract Pemetrexed is a novel antifolate with polyglutamate derivatives that are potent inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) and to a lesser extent glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). Conditions that might modulate relative suppression of these sites were assessed by the pattern of hypoxanthine and thymidine ...
