The uptakes of the tritiated, hydrolysis-resistant cationic (d-Phe-L-Lys), neutral (D-Phe-L-Ala) and anionic (D-Phe-L-Glu) peptides into human full-term placental brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) were time-dependent and into an osmotically-active space. Uptakes of D-Phe-L-Lys and D-Phe-L-Glu were temperature-dependent. Uptake of D-Phe-L-Lys was electroneutral (either cation exchange or anion co-transport), whereas D-Phe-L-Ala and D-Phe-L-Glu were both stimulated by an increasingly inside-positive membrane potential (explained by either cation exchange or anion co-transport, or translocation alone, respectively). Uptake of D-Phe-L-Ala was stimulated (approximately 50 per cent) by an inwardly-directed proton gradient (pHin = 7.4, pHout = 5.5), whereas D-Phe-L-Glu was unaffected, and D-Phe-L-Lys uptake was inhibited (approximately 50 per cent) but was unaffected by the organic cation-exchange inhibitors 1,1-diethyl-2,2-cyanine (decynium22) and 5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl)amiloride (MIBA). Over the concentration range studies, the peptides did not self-inhibit, and the only cross-inhibition was by D-Phe-L-Glu on D-Phe-L-Lys uptake (estimated K(I) 24.2 +/- 1.36 mM), suggesting very low affinity transporter(s). Under conditions favouring its transport by PepT1, D-Phe-L-Glu uptake was unaffected by diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC); neither D-Phe-L-Ala nor D-Phe-L-Lys was inhibited by DEPC under maximally proton-stimulated conditions of uptake. We conclude that Pep-T-like transporters are not responsible for peptide uptake into human placental BBMV; while the molecular identity of the transporter(s) involved remains unclear, we hypothesize that they could be similar to the as yet unidentified epithelial basolateral peptide transporter(s).
