Uptake of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitors NG-methyl-L-arginine (L-NMA) and NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) by macrophages is mediated by two different mechanisms. Activation of the cells with cytokines resulted in an up-regulation of L-NMA uptake but did not affect L-NNA transport. Characterization of the transport sites revealed that uptake of L-NMA is mediated by a cationic amino acid transporter (system y+) whereas a neutral amino acid transporter (system L) accounts for the uptake of L-NNA.
巨噬细胞对一氧化氮合酶抑制剂NG-甲基-L-精氨酸(L-NMA)和NG-硝基-L-精氨酸(L-NNA)的摄取由两种不同机制介导。用细胞因子激活细胞会导致L-NMA摄取上调,但不影响L-NNA转运。对转运位点的表征显示,L-NMA的摄取由阳离子氨基酸转运体(y+系统)介导,而中性氨基酸转运体(L系统)负责L-NNA的摄取。
