The multiple indicator-dilution technique in vivo and isolated brush-border membranes in vitro have been used to explore the mechanism of maleic acid-induced glucosuria in dog kidney. The interaction of D-glucose with the antiluminal membrane from the peritubular fluid surface is unaltered. It is demonstrated that alpha-methyl-D-glucoside (alpha MG) enters and exits from the proximal tubular cell only across the brush-border membrane. Then using alphaMG as a reference indicator, it is shown that maleic acid does not cause complete inhibition of D-glucose interaction with the antiluminal membrane from the cytoplasmic surface. The binding of [3H]phlorizin both in vivo and in vitro is not affected by prior administration of maleic acid, indicating that D-glucose interaction with the outside surface of the brush border is also not affected by maleic acid. The data are therefore consistent with the concept that maleic acid-induced glucosuria is due either to i) partial inhibition of D-glucose movement from cytoplasm across the antiluminal membrane into the blood, ii) stimulated movement back across the brush-border membrane into urine, or iii) a combination of the two effects.

Cholera toxin is very well characterized in terms of the activation of adenylate cyclase. In some systems, however, this cyclase activation does not seem to account for all of the physiological responses to the toxin. On the premise that cholera toxin may also exert effects through other second messenger compounds we have studied the effect of cholera toxin on the rate of Ca2+ movement across the membrane of intestinal brush border vesicles. Increasing concentrations of cholera toxin progressively accelerated the passive uptake of Ca2+ into, and the efflux of Ca2+ from, an osmotically active space in brush border membrane vesicles. This effect of cholera toxin was saturable by excess Ca2+ and was relatively specific, as the toxin did not affect vesicle permeability to an uncharged polar solute. The toxin had two high affinity Ca2+ binding sites on the A subunit as measured by equilibrium dialysis. Ca2+ transport facilitated by cholera toxin was temperature dependent, required the holotoxin, and could be inhibited by preincubation of the toxin with excess free ganglioside GM1.This increased rate of Ca2+ influx caused by the in vitro addition of cholera toxin to brush border membrane vesicles may have physiological significance as it was comparable to rates observed with the Ca ionophore A23187. Similar effects occurring in vivo could permit cholera toxin to increase cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations and to produce accompanying second messenger effects.

Previous studies showed that an increase in NAD+ content in renal cortex in vivo was accompanied by specific inhibition of Na+-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport across the renal brush border membrane (BBM). Further, in vitro addition of NAD+ to isolated renal BBM vesicles specifically inhibited Na+ gradient-dependent transport of Pi. The present study examined some aspects of the mechanism of this inhibition by NAD+ in vitro and in vivo. When NAD+ was increased in vivo by nicotinamide injection, the apparent Vmax was decreased, but the apparent Km was not different, indicating apparent noncompetitive inhibition. In the presence of 0.3 mM NAD+ added in vitro, the apparent Km for Na+-dependent Pi transport by BBM vesicles was increased, whereas the apparent Vmax was unchanged, indicating apparent competitive inhibition. These changes in apparent Km and apparent Vmax were identical when Pi uptake was measured either at 30-s or at 5-s (the initial rate) incubation times. Inhibition of Pi transport by BBM vesicles in vitro was due primarily to the action of intact added NAD+, although there may be some contribution by isotope dilution due to Pi released from NAD+ by enzymatic hydrolysis. Although in vitro inhibition of Pi transport by added NAD+ was reversed by washing the BBM, the inhibition due to increased NAD+ in vivo persisted after extensive washing of the isolated BBM. The specificity of the inhibitory effect of NAD+ in vivo was indicated by the finding that changes in renal cortical content of ATP or Pi, evoked by loading with glycerol or fructose, did not change BBM transport of Pi.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In the present experiments, selective quenching by trinitrophenyl groups as well as steady-state fluorescence polarization and differential polarized phase fluorescence techniques, using three different lipid soluble fluorophores, were used to directly examine the fluidity of the exofacial and cytofacial leaflets of rat small intestinal brush-border membranes. These studies revealed that the fluidity of the exofacial hemileaflet was greater than the cytofacial hemileaflet. Differences in the distribution of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, as assessed by phospholipase A2 treatment and trinitrophenylation of aminophospholipids, were, at least partially, responsible for the asymmetrical fluidity of the hemileaflets. Moreover, in vitro addition of benzyl alcohol (final concn 25 mM) preferentially fluidized the exofacial leaflet and concomitantly decreased leucine aminopeptidase activity but did not affect the activities of maltase, sucrase, alkaline phosphatase, or gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase. In vivo addition of the membrane-mobility agent 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl 8-(cis-2-n-octylcyclopropyl)octanate] (A2C) (final concn 7.5 microM) preferentially fluidized the cytofacial leaflet and increased Na(+)-gradient-dependent D-glucose transport but not Na(+)-gradient-dependent L-leucine transport.

Vitro Model

Intestinal brush-border-membrane vesicles were prepared from the porcine small bowel by magnesium precipitation and differential centrifugation, and were functionally intact. The influence of dietary ligands on 65Zn uptake was determined using a 65Zn concentration of 5 μm, an incubation time of 1 min and a reaction temperature of 27°, with a rapid filtration technique. At this low Zn concentration the addition of an excess of folate, histidine or glucose had no effect on Zn uptake. Addition of picolinate, citrate and phytate to the incubation medium significantly reduced Zn uptake at all concentrations of ligand examined. Any inhibitory effects of folic acid in vivo may thuss be due to a mucosal rather than lumen interaction. Those ligands inhibiting absorption may have done so through the formation of Zn-ligand complexes, which are either insoluble, or which reduce the binding of Zn to its mucosal receptor. This in vitro model of Zn absorption is useful for comparing the effects of potential Zn-binding ligands in the diet.

The natriuretic and diuretic effects of dopamine are attenuated in the young. Because dopamine has actions on receptors (e.g., adrenergic, serotonin) other than dopamine, we studied a novel dopamine agonist, pramipexole, which has a selectivity to both DA1 and DA2-receptor subtypes. Intravenous administration of pramipexole resulted in a dose-related (1, 10, and 100 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) increase in urine flow and absolute and fractional sodium excretion and a decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) in three groups of rats studied. Pramipexole induced a greater decrease in MAP in 6- to 7- (n = 5) and 9- to 16- (n = 6) than in 3- to 4-wk-old (n = 8) rats; the natriuresis and diuresis were greatest in 12- to 16- and least in 3- to 4-wk-old rats. The renal effects of pramipexole were mainly due to actions at the DA1 receptor, since these effects were completely blocked by the coinfusion of a DA1 antagonist, SKF 83742. To explore further a cause of the attenuated natriuretic effect of pramipexole in the young, we studied the effect of a selective DA1-receptor agonist, fenoldopam, on amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ uptake in renal brush-border membrane vesicles. The 3-s amiloride-sensitive uptake was inhibited (45%) by fenoldopam (5 x 10(-5)M) in 9- to 16- (n = 6) but not in 3- to 4-wk-old (n = 5) rats. These studies suggest that the attenuated natriuretic effect of dopamine in the young is in part due to decreased DA1 action on the brush-border membrane Na(+)-H+ exchanger.

Transfection studies using mutant constructs have implicated one or both protein kinase A (PKA) consensus phosphorylation sites [serines 552 and 605 in rat Na+/H+ exchanger type 3 (NHE3)] as critical for mediating inhibition of NHE3 in response to several stimuli including dopamine. However, whether one or both of these sites is actually phosphorylated in endogenous NHE3 in proximal tubule cells is unknown. The purpose of this study was to generate phosphospecific antibodies so that the state of phosphorylation of these serine residues in endogenous NHE3 could be assessed in vitro and in vivo. To this end, polyclonal and monoclonal phosphospecific peptide antibodies were generated against each PKA consensus site. Phosphospecificity was established by ELISA and Western blot assays. We then used these antibodies in vitro to evaluate the effect of dopamine on phosphorylation of the corresponding PKA sites (serines 560 and 613) in NHE3 endogenously expressed in opossum kidney cells. Baseline phosphorylation of both sites was detected that was significantly increased by dopamine. Next, we determined the baseline phosphorylation state of each serine in rat kidney NHE3 in vivo. We found that serine 552 of NHE3 is phosphorylated to a much greater extent than serine 605 at baseline in vivo. Moreover, we detected a distinct subcellular localization for NHE3 phosphorylated at serine 552 compared with total NHE3. Specifically, NHE3 phosphorylated at serine 552 localized to the coated pit region of the brush-border membrane, where NHE3 is inactive, while total NHE3 was found throughout the brush-border membrane. These findings strongly suggest that phosphorylation of NHE3 plays a role in its subcellular trafficking in vivo. In conclusion, we successfully generated phosphospecific antibodies that should be useful to assess the phosphorylation of endogenous NHE3 at its two PKA consensus sites under a variety of physiological conditions in vitro and in vivo.

Perfusion of rat jejunum in vitro with PMA increased fructose transport by 70% compared with control values and was blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine. The brush-border membrane contained both the fructose transporters GLUT5 and GLUT2; the presence of the latter was confirmed by luminal biotinylation. PMA increased the GLUT2 level 4-fold within minutes, so that the level was comparable with that of the basolateral membrane, but had no effect on GLUT5 level. GLUT2 was functional, accessible to luminal fructose and could be inhibited selectively by phloretin to permit determination of GLUT2- and GLUT5-mediated transport components. The 4-fold increase in GLUT2 level induced by PMA was matched by a 4-fold increase in GLUT2-mediated transport: there was a compensatory fall in the GLUT5-mediated rate. The pattern of dynamic trafficking was seen only for GLUT2, not GLUT5 or SGLT1, implying that GLUT2 trafficks to the brush-border membrane by a different pathway. Trafficking of GLUT2 to the brush-border membrane correlated with activation of PKC βII, implying that this isoenzyme is likely to control trafficking. Since PKC is activated by endogenous hormones, GLUT2 levels in vivo are 3–4-fold those in vitro; moreover, because PKC is inactivated as soon as intestine is excised, GLUT2 is lost from the brush-border within minutes in vitro. It is therefore difficult to detect GLUT2 in most in vitro preparations and its role in intestinal sugar absorption across the brush-border membrane has accordingly been overlooked.

ABSTRACT The direct effect of a rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein, NSP4, and certain related peptides on the sodium-coupled transport ofd-glucose and of l-leucine was studied by using intestinal brush border membrane vesicles isolated from young rabbits. Kinetic analyses revealed that the NSP4(114-135) peptide, which causes diarrhea in young rodents, is a specific, fully noncompetitive inhibitor of the Na+-d-glucose symporter (SGLT1). This interaction involves three peptide-binding sites per carrier unit. In contrast, the Norwalk virus NV(464-483) and mNSP4(131K) peptides, neither of which causes diarrhea, both behave inertly. The NSP4(114-135) and NV(464-483) peptides inhibited Na+-l-leucine symport about equally and partially via a different transport mechanism, in that Na+behaves as a nonobligatory activator. The selective and strong inhibition caused by the NSP4(114-135) peptide on SGLT1 in vitro suggests that during rotavirus infection in vivo, NSP4 can be one effector directly causing SGLT1 inhibition. This effect, implying a concomitant inhibition of water reabsorption, is postulated to play a mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of rotavirus diarrhea.
