| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In vivo transport study in rats suggested the facilitative transport systems for cationic compounds, such as clonidine, nicotine, riboflavin and L-ornithine at the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). In addition, in vitro transport study with TR-iBRB2 cells, an in vitro model cell line of the inner BRB, suggested the involvement of carrier-mediated process in these cationic drugs and compounds, showing the usefulness of clonidine transport system in systemic drug delivery to the retina. In vitro study of inhibition, vectorial transport and immunohistochemical analysis suggested the responsible contribution of cationic amino acid transporter 1 (CAT1/SLC7A1) to the blood-to-retina transport of L-ornithine at the inner and outer BRB. Knockdown study suggested the contribution of riboflavin transporter (RFVTs/SLC52A) to riboflavin transport at the inner BRB, and mRNA expression study supported that RFVT2 is dominant in the influx transport of riboflavin at the inner BRB.
