Abstract
Evidence is emerging that biotin participates in processes other than classical carboxylation reactions. Specifically, novel roles for biotin in cell signaling, gene expression, and chromatin structure have been identified in recent years. Human cells accumulate biotin by using both the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter and monocarboxylate transporter 1. These transporters and other biotin-binding proteins partition biotin to compartments involved in biotin signaling: cytoplasm, mitochondria, and nuclei. The activity of cell signals such as biotinyl-AMP, Sp1 and Sp3, nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, and receptor tyrosine kinases depends on biotin supply. Consistent with a role for biotin and its catabolites in modulating these cell signals, greater than 2000 biotin-dependent genes have been identified in various human tissues. Many biotin-dependent gene products play roles in signal transduction and localize to the cell nucleus, consistent with a role for biotin in cell signaling. Posttranscriptional events related to ribosomal activity and protein folding may further contribute to effects of biotin on gene expression. Finally, research has shown that biotinidase and holocarboxylase synthetase mediate covalent binding of biotin to histones (DNA-binding proteins), affecting chromatin structure; at least seven biotinylation sites have been identified in human histones. Biotinylation of histones appears to play a role in cell proliferation, gene silencing, and the cellular response to DNA repair. Roles for biotin in cell signaling and chromatin structure are consistent with the notion that biotin has a unique significance in cell biology.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that the normal microflora of the large intestine synthesizes biotin and that the colon is capable of absorbing intraluminally introduced free biotin. Nothing, however, is known about the mechanism of biotin absorption in the large intestine and its regulation. To address these issues, we used the human-derived, nontransformed colonic epithelial cell line NCM460. The initial rate of biotin uptake was found to be 1) temperature and energy dependent, 2) Na+ dependent (coupling ratio of 1:1), 3) saturable as a function of concentration [apparent Michaelis constant (Km) of 19.7 microM], 4) inhibited by structural analogs with a free carboxyl group at the valeric acid moiety, and 5) competitively inhibited by the vitamin pantothenic acid (inhibition constant of 14.4 microM). Pretreatment with the protein kinase C (PKC) activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 1, 2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol significantly inhibited biotin uptake. In contrast, pretreatment with the PKC inhibitors staurosporine and chelerythrine led to a slight, but significant, increase in biotin uptake. The effect of PMA was mediated via a marked decrease in maximal uptake velocity and a slight increase in apparent Km. Pretreatment of cells with modulators of the protein kinase A-mediated pathway, on the other hand, showed no significant effect on biotin uptake. These results demonstrate, for the first time, the functional existence of a Na+-dependent, specialized carrier-mediated system for biotin uptake in colonic epithelial cells. This system is shared with pantothenic acid and appears to be under the regulation of an intracellular PKC-mediated pathway.

Abstract
An enhanced appreciation of uptake mechanisms and intracellular trafficking of phosphorothioate modified oligodeoxynucleotides (P-ODN) might facilitate the use of these compounds for experimental and therapeutic purposes. We addressed these issues by identifying cell surface proteins with which P-ODN specifically interact, studying P-ODN internalization mechanisms, and by tracking internalized P-ODN through the cell using immunochemical and ultrastructural techniques. Chemical cross-linking studies with a biotin-labeled P-ODN (bP-ODN), revealed the existence of five major cell surface P-ODN binding protein groups ranging in size from approximately 20-143 kD. Binding to these proteins was competitively inhibited with unlabeled P-ODN, but not free biotin, suggesting specificity of the interactions. Additional experiments suggested that binding proteins likely exist as single chain structures, and that carbohydrate moieties may play a role in P-ODN binding. Uptake studies with 35S-labeled P-ODN revealed that endocytosis, mediated by a receptor-like mechanism, predominated at P-ODN concentrations < 1 microM, whereas fluid-phase endocytosis prevailed at higher concentrations. Cell fractionation and ultrastructural analysis demonstrated the presence of ODN in clathrin coated pits, and in vesicular structures consistent with endosomes and lysosomes. Labeled ODN were also found in significant amounts in the nucleus, while none was associated with ribosomes, or ribosomes associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Since nuclear uptake was not blocked by wheat germ agglutinin or concanavalin A, a nucleoporin independent, perhaps diffusion driven, import process is suggested. These data imply that antisense DNA may exert their effect in the nucleus. They also suggest rational ways to design ODN which might increase their efficiency.

Abstract
Primary cultures of bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMECs) were used to characterize blood-brain barrier (BBB) uptake and transport of biotin. Both the uptake and the transcellular transport of either radiolabeled or fluorescein-conjugated biotin by confluent monolayers of BMECs were measured. Biotin uptake (Km = 123 microM) and bidirectional transport across BMEC monolayers was a saturable process and could be competed for by unlabeled biotin, biocytin, and biotinmethyl ester. Pantothenic and nonanoic acid were found not to be effective competitors for either biotin uptake or transport. The metabolic inhibitor, 2-deoxyglucose, had only small effects on the saturable apical-to-basolateral transport and apical uptake of biotin by BMECs. In contrast, basolateral-to-apical transport of biotin was substantially attenuated by 2-deoxyglucose pretreatment. Results supported the existence of specific and saturable uptake and efflux carrier systems for biotin in BMEC monolayers. The function of these systems was dependent to some degree on the metabolic status of the BMECs. Our findings confirm the existence of a biotin uptake system at the BBB in vivo and provide the first indication of an efflux system for biotin in BMECs.

Abstract
The uptake of radioactive biotin has been studied in glial cell cultures from dissociated cerebral hemispheres of newborn rats. We describe saturable kinetics for the biotin uptake at biotin concentrations of less than 60 nM and linear at greater than 60 nM. The uptake appeared temperature sensitive, Na+ independent, nonsensitive to valinomycin, and not affected by metabolic inhibitors such as sodium fluoride or azide. Lipoic acid and biocytin were effective in inhibiting the biotin uptake. These findings are consistent with biotin uptake by the primary culture of astrocytes as a process of facilitated diffusion. Moreover, biotin uptake in astrocytes grown in biotin-restricted conditions was significantly higher compared with the control. This increase appeared mediated through a pronounced increase (10-fold) in the Vmax of the biotin uptake without any change in the apparent Km.

Abstract
Uptake of [35S]lipoate was studied in perfused rat liver and in isolated rat hepatocytes. During single-pass perfusion of [35S]lipoate about 30% of the radioactivity is retained in the liver. A substantial amount of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)-reactive material appears in the effluent perfusate, while hepatic efflux of GSH is unchanged. The hepatic uptake of lipoate, the release of thiols, and also the biliary excretion of 35S-labeled compounds are suppressed by octanoate. In isolated hepatocytes the uptake of lipoate follows saturation kinetics showing a Km value of 38 microM and a Vmax of 180 pmol/mg X 10 s. The uptake is temperature-dependent; from the Arrhenius plot an activation energy of 14.8 kcal/mol at 20 microM lipoate is calculated. At high concentrations of lipoate (above 75 microM) a nonsaturable uptake component becomes predominant. Lipoate uptake is selectively inhibited by medium-chain fatty acids. Only slight inhibition is seen in the presence of long-chain fatty acids, and there is no inhibition with acetate or lactate. Substantial inhibition is also observed with acetylsalicylic acid, but not with taurocholate, bromosulfophthalein or biotin. Lipoate uptake can be inhibited by high concentrations of phloretin (200 microM) and is rather insensitive to 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (200 microM). The results indicate that hepatic uptake of lipoate at physiological concentrations is largely carrier-mediated.

Abstract
Biotinidase shows two binding sites for biotin, with Kd = 59 and 3 nM respectively, and requires tryptophan and cysteine residues of the biotinidase protein for biotin-binding activity. Analysis of human serum by various column-chromatographic techniques indicates that biotinidase is the only protein which exchanges with labelled (+)-biotin. It was shown previously that epileptic patients receiving a high average dose of anticonvulsants (containing a carbamide group) have lower biotin concentrations than those receiving a low dose. We have shown in human serum and with purified biotinidase that these anticonvulsant drugs compete with biotin for binding to the protein moiety.

Abstract
The uptake of biotin and biocytin was investigated in rat intestine using the everted sac technique. It has been shown that at biotin and biocytin concentrations less than 40 and 50 nM respectively, absorption proceeds by a saturable process, whereas at higher concentrations uptake by passive diffusion predominates. Fractionation of solubilized brush border preparations indicates that biotinidase is the only protein which binds biotin in this preparation.

Abstract
The unidirectional influx of biotin across cerebral capillaries, the anatomical locus of the blood-brain barrier, was measured with an in situ rat brain perfusion technique employing [3H]biotin. Biotin was transported across the blood-brain barrier by a saturable system with a one-half saturation concentration of approximately 100 microM. The permeability-surface area products were 10(-4) s-1 with a biotin concentration of 0.02 microM in the perfusate. Probenecid, pantothenic acid, and nonanoic acid but not biocytin or biotin methylester (all 250 microM) inhibited biotin transfer through the blood-brain barrier. The isolated rabbit choroid plexus was unable to concentrate [3H]biotin from medium containing 1 nM [3H]biotin. These observations provide evidence that: biotin is transported through the blood-brain barrier by a saturable transport system that depends on a free carboxylic acid group, and the choroid plexus is probably not involved in the transfer of biotin between blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
