Human hepatoma cells take up glutamine at rates severalfold faster than the system N-mediated transport rates observed in normal human hepatocytes. Amino acid inhibition, kinetic, Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and restriction enzyme analyses collectively identified the transporter responsible in six human hepatoma cell lines as amino acid transporter B-0 (ATB(0)), the human ortholog of rodent ASCT2. The majority of glutamine uptake in liver fibroblasts and an immortalized human liver epithelial cell line (THLE-5B) was also mediated by ATB(0). The 2.9-kb ATB(0) mRNA was equally expressed in all cell lines, whereas expression of the system A transporters ATA2 and ATA3 was variable. In contrast, the system N isoforms (SN1 and SN2) were expressed only in well-differentiated hepatomas. ATB(0) mRNA was also expressed in cirrhotic liver and adult and pediatric liver cancer biopsies but was not detectable in isolated human hepatocytes or fetal liver. Although the growth of all hepatomas was glutamine dependent, competitive inhibition of ATB(0) mediated glutamine uptake blocked proliferation only in poorly differentiated cells lacking SN1 or SN2 expression and exhibiting low glutamine synthetase mRNA levels.
