Two days after D-serine treatment, cells were subjected to the XTT cell proliferation assay. The toxic effects of D-serine on each component were compared with those of Mock cells.
  • the known D-serine transporter Asc1 endogenously expressed in the measurement membrane was used as a positive control.
  • the results showed that cells transfected with SMCT2, CAT1, TAT1 and SNAT2 increased the toxicity of 15 mM D-serine treatment (FIG. 16 (A)).
  • At 25 mM D-serine treatment significant toxicity was observed in cells transfected with GLUT5, SMCT1, SMCT2, CAT1, THTR2 and SNAT2 (FIG. 16 (B)).
  • ASCT2 has previously been reported to be a D-serine transporter. Previous studies were consistent with the results of our experiments on HEK293 cells. In this experiment, the endogenous expression of ASCT2 and the D-serine transport function were observed. Furthermore, [3 H] D-serine transport is a ASCT2 substrate L- serine, was inhibited by L- threonine and L- methionine, was not inhibited by MeAIB (FIG 19 (A)). In particular, as a result of investigating the inhibition of D-serine transport by GABA ( ⁇ -aminobutyric acid), it was found that GABA inhibits D-serine transport.
  • GABA ⁇ -aminobutyric acid
