| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying entry of an aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin in renal proximal tubular cell lines OK and HK-2. In OK cells expressing a multi-ligand endocytic receptor megalin, gentamicin was taken up into the cells via endocytosis-dependent pathway. On the other hand, in HK-2 cells with little megalin expression, endocytosis-independent pathway, but not endocytosis-dependent pathway, was shown to be involved in gentamicin uptake. In addition, it was suggested that the endocytosis-independent uptake of gentamicin in HK-2 cells is, at least in part, due to transport via TRPV cation channel. When gentamicin is transported via a channel-dependent pathway into renal tubular cells, gentamicin directly enters the cytoplasm, where gentamicin potently affects mitochondrial function leading to cell death. Taken together, it is likely that activation of TRPV cation channel activity increases the risk of aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity.
