title: D-mannose transport and metabolism in isolated enterocytes.
abstract: D-mannose transport and metabolism has been studied in enterocytes isolated from chicken small intestine. In the presence of Na(+), the mannose taken up by the cells either remains free, is phosphorylated, is catabolized to H(2)O, or becomes part of membrane components. The mannose remaining free in the cytosol is released when the cells are transferred to an ice bath. The Na(+)-dependent D-mannose transport is electrogenic and inhibited by ouabain and dinitrophenol; its substrate specificity differs from SGLT-1 transporter. The Glut2 transporter inhibitors phloretin and cytochalasin B added following 30-min mannose uptake reduced the previously accumulated D-mannose, whereas these two agents increased the cell to external medium 3-O-methyl-glucose (3-OMG) concentration ratio. D-mannose efflux rate from preloaded D-[2-(3)H]-mannose enterocytes is Na(+)-independent. Phloretin did not affect D-mannose efflux rate, whereas it inhibited that of 3-OMG. Neither mannose uptake nor efflux rate were affected by fructose. It is concluded that part of the mannose taken up by the enterocytes is rapidly metabolized and that enterocytes have two D- mannose transport systems: one is concentrative and Na(+)-dependent and the other is Na(+)-independent and passive.
