“…Since reabsorptive urate by apical proximal tubule transporters may leak back into the tubule lumen via apical urate transporter NPT4, the inhibition of urate transport at NPT4 site by loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics appears consistent with the idea of diuretic-induced hyperuricemia. Our current data and the previous data illustrating 4 as a substrate of NPT4 [14,17] and OAT1/OAT3 [18] support the notion that transepithelial secretory transport of loop and thiazide diuretics in renal proximal tubule is mediated by multispecific OATs, OAT1 and OAT3 at the basolateral side, and also via the apical voltage-driven OAT NPT4. As depicted in Figure 2, these transport processes allow the diuretics to reach their site of action at the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubule.…”

Uric acid (urate) is the end product of purine metabolism in humans. Human kidneys reabsorb a large proportion of filtered urate. This extensive renal reabsorption, together with the fact that humans do not possess uricase that catalyzes the biotransformation of urate into allantoin, results in a higher plasma urate concentration in humans compared to other mammals. A major determinant of plasma urate concentration is renal excretion as a function of the balance between reabsorption and secretion. We previously identified that renal urate absorption in proximal tubular epithelial cells occurs mainly via apical urate/anion exchanger, URAT1/SLC22A12, and by facilitated diffusion along the trans-membrane potential gradient by the basolateral voltage-driven urate efflux transporter, URATv1/SLC2A9/GLUT9. In contrast, the molecular mechanism by which renal urate secretion occurs remains elusive. Recently, we reported a newly characterized human voltage-driven drug efflux transporter, hNPT4/SLC17A3, which functions as a urate exit pathway located at the apical side of renal proximal tubules. This transporter protein has been hypothesized to play an important role with regard to net urate efflux. An in vivo role of hNPT4 is supported by the fact that missense mutations in SLC17A3 present in hyperuricemia patients with urate underexcretion abolished urate efflux capacity in vitro. Herein, we report data demonstrating that loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics substantially interact with hNPT4. These data provide molecular evidence for loop and thiazide-diuretics-induced hyperuricemia. Thus, we propose that hNPT4 is an important transepithelial proximal tubular transporter that transports diuretic drugs and operates functionally with basolateral organic anion transporters 1/3 (OAT1/OAT3).

“…NPT1 and NPT4 localize to the apical membrane of RPTECs and are hypothesized to export urate into the tubule lumen as part of the urate secretory pathway. Support for this functional role comes from the identification and analysis of missense mutations involved in hyperuricemia and/or gout that exhibit altered urate transport activities [35,[44][45][46][47]. Moreover, it has been suggested that hyperuricemia induced by diuretics may be due to inhibition of NPT4 [45].…”

Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis that is caused by chronically-elevated serum uric acid (sUA) levels (hyperuricemia). KeywordsGout; hyperuricemia; uricase; URAT1; coevolution; urate transporters for urate homeostasis Overview Gout and hyperuricemiaGout is a debilitating inflammatory arthritis of increasing prevalence that is caused by chronically elevated levels of serum uric acid (sUA), or hyperuricemia, defined as concentrations exceeding 6.8 mg/dL (408 μM). In healthy nongouty individuals, serum urate levels are normally in the range of 3.5-7 mg/dL (210 -420 μM) [1]. Prolonged hyperuricemia can initiate the precipitation of the uric acid in joints and other tissues, and these deposits can trigger an acute and painful immune response known as a gout flare. Hyperuricemia is also strongly and independently associated with a number of other important disorders including hypertension, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome [2]. A number of therapies for gout that lower sUA levels target transporters for uric acid, some which are also important drug transporters. Uric acid homeostasis in humans in health and diseaseUric acid is produced mainly in the liver and gastrointestinal tract by the degradation of endogenous and dietary purines. Sources of endogenous purines include nucleotides such as ATP, and DNA and RNA that are recovered from dying cells. These purines are degraded into uric acid by xanthine oxidase in the liver. Dietary purines are absorbed in the gut by the CNT2 transporter and are quantitatively metabolized to uric acid by endogenous xanthine oxidase within intestinal enterocytes (see Figure 1b). In non-primate mammals, uric acid is converted to more highly soluble allantoin by urate oxidase (uricase). In primates including humans, however, uric acid is the end product of purine catabolism due to the progressive

Abstract. In the present study, we investigated the transport of nephrotoxic mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTxA) by a novel human organic anion transporter hNPT4 using the Xenopus oocyte expression system. hNPT4 mediated time-and concentration-dependent uptake of OTxA (K m : 802.8 μM) in a pH-and voltage-sensitive manner. Cis-inhibition experiments suggest that the substrate selectivity of hNPT4 is similar to that of hOAT4. The fact that the K m of OTxA for the efflux transporter hNPT4 was much higher than those for the uptake transporters hOAT1 and hOAT3 may favor the accumulation of OTxA in the tubular cell and lead to nephrotoxicity.
