We investigated the
transport of salicylic acid and L-lactic acid across the
placenta using the human trophoblast cell line BeWo. We performed
uptake experiments and measured the change in intracellular pH
(pHi). The uptakes of [14C]salicylic acid and
L-[14C]lactic acid were temperature- and
extracellular pH-dependent and saturable at higher concentrations. Both
uptakes were also reduced by FCCP, nigericin, and NaN3.
Various nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) strongly
inhibited the uptake of L-[14C]lactic acid.
Salicylic acid and ibuprofen noncompetitively inhibited the uptake of
L-[14C]lactic acid.
-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC), a monocarboxylate transporter
inhibitor, suppressed the uptake of
L-[14C]lactic acid but not that of
[14C]salicylic acid. CHC also suppressed the decrease of
pHi induced by L-lactic acid but had little
effect on that induced by salicylic acid or diclofenac. These results
suggest that NSAIDs are potent inhibitors of lactate transporters,
although they are transported mainly by a transport system distinct
from that for L-lactic acid.
