To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the dysfunctions of intestinal absorption induced by antitumor drugs, the effect of pretreatment with mitomycin C on sodium gradient-dependent
d-glucose and
l-alanine transports was studied in rat brush-border membrane vesicles. 24, 48, 96, or 120 h following a single intravenous injection of mitomycin C, brush-border membrane vesicles were prepared from rat small-intestines. The uptake of
d-glucose and
l-alanine was shown to be Na
+ gradient-dependent even in the case of vesicles obtained from mitomycin C-treated rats, but uptake rates measured at 15 s and magnitude of overshooting effect in uptake of both solutes were decreased in vesicles maximally from 48 h mitomycin C-treated rats. The rate of
d-glucose uptake calculated at 15 s recovered to the control level in vesicles prepared at 96 h and 120 h after mitomycin C-treatment, indicating that the effect of mitomycin C on Na
+ gradient-dependent
d-glucose transport would be fully reversible. Tracer exchange experiments under Na
+ and
d-glucose equilibrated conditions indicated that the Na
+/
d-glucose transporters were similarly operative in the vesicles from control and 48 h mitomycin C-treated rats. Rates of
22Na
+ uptake measured at 15 s in vesicles from 48 h mitomycin C-treated rats, however, were increased. The increased permeability to Na
+ might bring about a more rapid dissipation of the Na
+ gradient in these vesicles and this would secondarily cause the decrease in Na
+-dependent
d-glucose uptake in vesicles from mitomycin C-treated rats.
