The transport of urate in the mammalian nephron is largely confined to the proximal tubule. Depending on the species, net reabsorption or net secretion is observed. The rat, like the human and the mongrel dog, demonstrates net reabsorption of urate and has been the most extensively studied species. The unidirectional reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule occur via a passive and presumably paracellular route and by a mediated transcellular route. The reabsorption of urate, and possibly its secretion, can occur against an electrochemical gradient. A variety of drugs and other compounds affect the reabsorption and secretion of urate. The effects of these agents depend on their site of application (luminal or blood), concentration, and occasionally their participation in transport processes that do not have affinity for urate. Recent studies with renal brush border and basolateral membrane vesicles from the rat and brush border vesicles from the dog have determined the mechanisms for urate transport across the luminal and antiluminal membranes of the proximal tubule cell. Brush border membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate, hydroxyl ion, bicarbonate, chloride, lactate, p-aminohippurate (PAH), and a variety of other organic anions. Basolateral membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate and chloride but not for PAH. Both membrane vesicle preparations also permit urate translocation by simple diffusion. A model for the transcellular reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule is proposed. This model is based on the vesicle studies, and it can potentially explain the majority of urate transport data obtained with in vivo techniques.

Simultaneous microperfusion of proximal tubules and peritubular capillaries in kidneys of rats anesthetized with Inactin was used to measure reflection coefficients. All perfusates contained cyanide to inhibit active transport; the tubular perfusate was isotonic and the peritubular capillaries were perfused with solutions made hypertonic with NaCl, NaHCO3, L-glucose, or sodium ferrocyanide. Measurements of recollected fluid enabled a precise mean gradient and ionic fluxes to be calculated; net water flux was measured with inulin. Imposed gradients always partly dissipated. Reflection coefficients were 0.59 +/- 0.01 for NaCl, 0.87 +/- 0.04 for NaHCO3-, and 0.96 +/- 0.07 for ferrocyanide, assuming that L-glucose was 1. Water permeability of the proximal tubule was 1,030 microns/s. Ionic permeability of Cl- (21.6 +/- 1.3 X 10(-5) cm/s) was greater than that for Na+ (13.3 +/- 2.7 X 10(-5) cm/s); permeability for L-glucose was 5.4 +/- 1.3 X 10(-5), and for ferrocyanide ions 2.7 +/- 0.9 X 10(-5) cm/s. It is concluded that in rat proximal tubule both NaCl and NaHCO3 have reflection coefficients less than 1.0 and solute asymmetry across the epithelium is a significant driving force for fluid reabsorption. Furthermore the data suggest that there is a significant contribution of solvent drag to solute movement.

We used rat proximal tubule fragments purified by Percoll centrifugation to examine the role of diacylglycerol (DAG) in noradrenergic-stimulated Na+ reabsorption. Tubular DAG concentration and ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb uptake increased within 30 s after adding norepinephrine (NE) and remained elevated for at least 5 min. NE (1 microM) increased DAG content 17% and ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb uptake 23%. Cirazoline-stimulated 86Rb uptake was not inhibited by BaCl, quinidine, or bumetanide (1-10 microM) or by the omission of HCO3- or Cl- from the medium, but it was completely inhibited by ouabain and furosemide. Oleoyl-acetyl glycerol, L-alpha-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, and L-alpha-1,2-dioleoylglycerol (DOG) increased total 86Rb uptake 8-11%. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (5 nM) increased uptake by only 4%. Staurosporine at 5 nM inhibited DOG stimulation completely, whereas 50 nM staurosporine was required to inhibit NE stimulation completely. Sphingosine inhibited DOG stimulation by 66% but did not inhibit NE stimulation. Amiloride (1 mM) completely blocked DOG stimulation. Monensin increased 86Rb uptake 31% and completely blocked the DOG effect but reduced the NE effect by only 26% (P = 0.08). In tubules from salt-loaded rats, NE did not increase DAG concentration, but NE-stimulated 86Rb uptake was reduced by only 23% (P = 0.15). Thus DAG released by NE may stimulate Na+ entry through Na(+)-H+ exchange. NE predominantly stimulates Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) by activating a protein kinase that is insensitive to DAG and TPA and is inhibited by staurosporine but not by sphingosine. NE may also stimulate K+ efflux through a BaCl-insensitive K+ channel that is inhibited by millimolar furosemide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

An increase in circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been shown to enhance the capacity for the kidney to excrete an acid as well an alkaline load, which suggests that changes in systemic acid-base status may modulate the effect of the hormone on bicarbonate absorption in proximal tubule. In the present study, we tested the possibility that acute variations in extracellular pH (pHe), obtained by modifying bicarbonate concentration at constant PCO2 (40 mmHg), may modulate the responses of intracellular messengers coupled to PTH receptors in a preparation of freshly isolated proximal tubule fragments. Variations in pHe, which induced parallel variations in intracellular pH (pHi), did not affect unstimulated values for adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production, inositol trisphosphate accumulation, or cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. In contrast, reducing pHe from 7.4 to 7.2 elicited a decrease of the PTH-induced cAMP production, whereas increasing pHe from 7.4 to 7.6 enhanced it. The ability for cholera toxin and forskolin (which both bypass PTH receptors) to stimulate cAMP formation was diminished at pHe 7.2 and enhanced at pHe 7.6 (the increase did not achieve statistical significance in the presence of forskolin), suggesting that variations in pHe and/or pHi may affect per se adenylyl cyclase activity. Conversely, reducing pHe from 7.4 to 7.2 enhanced the PTH-induced inositol trisphosphate accumulation and rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ whereas increasing pHe from 7.4 to 7.6 had opposite effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The present study used a stationary microperfusion technique to investigate in vivo the effect of P2Y1 receptor activation on bicarbonate reabsorption in the rat proximal tubule. Proximal tubules were perfused with a bicarbonate Ringer solution before flow was stopped by means of an oil block. The recovery of lumen pH from the initial value (pH 8.0) to stationary values (pH ∼6.7) was recorded by a H+-sensitive microelectrode inserted downstream of the perfusion pipette and oil block. The stationary pH value and the t of pH recovery were used to calculate bicarbonate reabsorption ( JHCO3). Both EIPA and bafilomycin A1 caused significant reductions in proximal tubule JHCO3, consistent with the established contributions of Na/H exchange and H+-ATPase to proximal tubule HCO3 reabsorption. The nucleotides ADP and, to a lesser extent, ATP reduced JHCO3 but AMP and UTP were without effect. 2MeSADP, a highly selective agonist of the P2Y1 receptor, reduced JHCO3 in a dose-dependent manner. MRS-2179, a P2Y1 receptor-specific antagonist, abolished the effect of 2MeSADP, whereas theophylline, an antagonist of adenosine (P1) receptors, did not. The inhibitory action of 2MeSADP was blocked by inhibition of protein kinase C and reduced by inhibition of protein kinase A. The effects of EIPA and 2MeSADP were not additive. The data provide functional evidence for P2Y1 receptors in the apical membrane of the rat proximal tubule: receptor activation impairs acidification in this nephron segment.
