Uptake of taurocholate into plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver was investigated. In the presence of an extra- to intravesicular gradient of Na+ ions, a typical "overshoot" phenomenon in the accumulation pattern was observed. Osmotic manipulation of the incubation medium indicated that the transport of this bile acid occurs into an osmotically active intravesicular space. Uptake of taurocholate as measured after 1 min was specifically stimulated by Na+ ions: NaNO3 and NaCl were capable of supporting accumulation, whereas KNO3 was not. Na+-coupled uptake of taurocholate showed saturation kinetics and was inhibited by other bile acids or by preloading the vesicles with Na+. Our observations support the idea of a carrier-mediated bile-acid uptake system, as suggested previously for the intact rat liver and isolated rat hepatocytes. When the electrical potential difference across the vesicle membrane was changed by inducing different diffusion potentials (anion replacement), a more negative potential inside stimulated Na+-dependent taurocholate transport. The results demonstrate that rat-liver plasma membrane vesicles possess an electrogenic Na+-coupled transport system for taurocholate.
