Conditionally immortalized brain and retinal capillary endothelial and choroid plexus epithelial cell lines were established from a transgenic rat (Tg rat) and mouse (Tg mouse) harboring the temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 (ts SV 40) large T-antigen. These cell lines exhibit temperature-sensitive cell growth due to the expression of ts SV 40 large T-antigen. Mouse brain (TM-BBB) and rat brain (TR-BBB) and rat retinal (TR-iBRB) capillary endothelial cell lines appear to have a spindle-fiber shaped morphology and exhibit the typical endothelial markers, such as von Willebrand factor and acetylated low-density lipoprotein uptake. These cell lines express in vivo influx and efflux transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and GLUT1, which is capable of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose transport. TM-BBB cells are able to undergo efflux transport of cyclosporin A, which is a substrate for P-gp transport activity. They may also express oatp2 and exhibit dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and digoxin uptake activity. TR-BBB cells express the mRNA of multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) and a large neutral amino acid transporter, which consists of LAT1 and 4F2hc. TR-iBRB cells exhibit pH-dependent L-lactic acid transport activity and express the mRNA of monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 1 and 2. The choroid plexus epithelial cell line (TR-CSFB) has polygonal cell morphology, expresses the typical choroid plexus epithelial cell marker, transthyretin, and has Na+, K+-ATPase located on the apical side. TR-CSFB cells also exhibit amino acid transport activity which has been observed in vivo. These barrier cell lines established from the Tg rat and Tg mouse have in vivo transport functions and are good in vitro models for drug transport to the brain and retina and as a screen for drugs which might be capable of delivery to the brain and retina.

The blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) plays a key role in the influx and efflux transport of drugs and endogenous substrates in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To clarify the molecular mechanism of the BCSFB transport system, a new in vitro BCSFB model, i.e. an immortalized rat choroid plexus epithelial cell line (TR-CSFB), has been established from transgenic rats harboring a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen gene. TR-CSFB cells grow well at 33 degrees C because of activation of the temperature-sensitive large T-antigen. These cells have a polygonal epithelial cell morphology and express typical choroid plexus epithelial cell markers, such as transthyretin (TTR) and Na+, K+ -ATPase, as well as the transporters, system A and ABCC1/mrp1. The localization of Na+, K+ -ATPase, and the transport direction of system A are polarized in TR-CSFB cells as is the case in vivo. TR-CSFB cells exhibit L-proline and L-glutamic acid uptake activities and may reflect the CSF-to-blood efflux transport functions involving these amino acids in vivo. Using TR-CSFB cells, we found for the first time that oatp3 is expressed at the BCSFB. TR-CSFB cells appear to be a useful in vitro model of the BCSFB for the study of drug transport, BCSFB transporters, and the regulation of BCSFB functions.
