Current studies were undertaken to characterize the mechanism of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) transport in isolated human proximal colonic basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) utilizing a rapid-filtration n-[14C]butyrate uptake technique. Human colonic tissues were obtained from mucosal scrapings from organ donor proximal colons. Our results, consistent with the existence of a HCO[Formula: see text]/SCFA exchanger in these membranes, are summarized as follows: 1) n-[14C]butyrate influx was significantly stimulated into the vesicles in the presence of an outwardly directed HCO[Formula: see text] and an inwardly directed pH gradient; 2) n-[14C]butyrate uptake was markedly inhibited (∼40%) by anion exchange inhibitor niflumic acid (1 mM), but SITS and DIDS (5 mM) had no effect; 3) structural analogs e.g., acetate and propionate, significantly inhibited uptake of HCO[Formula: see text] and pH-gradient-driven n-[14C]butyrate; 4) n-[14C]butyrate uptake was saturable with a Kmfor butyrate of 17.5 ± 4.5 mM and a Vmaxof 20.9 ± 1.2 nmol · mg protein−1· 5 s−1; 5) n-[14C]butyrate influx into the vesicles demonstrated a transstimulation phenomenon; and 6) intravesicular or extravesicular Cl−did not alter the anion-stimulated n-[14C]butyrate uptake. Our results indicate the presence of a carrier-mediated HCO[Formula: see text]/SCFA exchanger on the human colonic basolateral membrane, which appears to be distinct from the previously described anion exchangers in the membranes of colonic epithelia.

We studied the pathways for [Formula: see text] transport in basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) purified from rat medullary thick ascending limbs (MTAL). An inward [Formula: see text]gradient in the presence of an inside-positive potential stimulated the rate of 22Na uptake minimally and did not induce a 22Na overshoot, arguing against the presence of electrogenic Na+-[Formula: see text]cotransport in these membranes. An inside-acid pH gradient stimulated to the same degree uptake of86Rb+(a K+ analog) with or without[Formula: see text]. Conversely, applying an outward K+ gradient caused a modest intracellular pH (pHi) decrease of ∼0.38 pH units/min, as monitored by quenching of carboxyfluorescein; its rate was unaffected by[Formula: see text], indicating the absence of appreciable K+-[Formula: see text]cotransport. On the other hand, imposing an inward Cl− gradient in the presence of [Formula: see text] caused a marked pHi decrease of ∼1.68 pH units/min; its rate was inhibited by a stilbene derivative. Finally, we could not demonstrate the presence of a[Formula: see text]/lactate exchanger in BLMV. In conclusion, the presence of significant Na+-, K+-, or lactate-linked[Formula: see text] transport could not be demonstrated. These and other data suggest that basolateral Cl−/[Formula: see text]exchange could be the major pathway for[Formula: see text] transport in the MTAL.

Abstract. To examine the hormonal regulation of the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump in the kidneys, the ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by the basolateral membrane vesicles in the renal cortex was measured using radioactive calcium (45Ca2+) in rats with vitamin D deficiency or rats undergoing thyroparathyroidectomy. The Vmax of the Ca2+ pump activity was increased not only by administering calcitriol, but also by normalizing the serum calcium level in vitamin D-deficient rats. PTH suppressed the Ca2+ pump activity in normocalcemic vitamin D-deficient rats. Thyroparathyroidectomy did not affect the Ca2+ pump activity in the kidneys of normal rats. It was concluded that the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump activity was depressed by secondary hyperparathyroidism in vitamin D-deficient rats.

Overshoot Phenomenon

The transport of uridine into rabbit renal outer-cortical brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles was compared at 22 degrees C. Uridine was taken up into an osmotically active space in the absence of metabolism for both types of membrane vesicles. Uridine influx by brush-border membrane vesicles was stimulated by Na+, and in the presence of inwardly directed gradients of Na+ a transient overshoot phenomenon was observed, indicating active transport. Kinetic analysis of the saturable Na+-dependent component of uridine flux indicated that it was consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km 12 +/- 3 microM, Vmax. 3.9 +/- 0.9 pmol/s per mg of protein). The sodium:uridine coupling stoichiometry was found to be consistent with 1:1 and involved the net transfer of positive charge. In contrast, uridine influx by basolateral membrane vesicles was not dependent on the cation present and was inhibited by nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR). NBMPR-sensitive uridine transport was saturable (Km 137 +/- 20 microM, Vmax. 5.2 +/- 0.6 pmol/s per mg of protein). Inhibition of uridine flux by NBMPR was associated with high-affinity binding of NBMPR to the basolateral membrane (Kd 0.74 +/- 0.46 nM). Binding of NBMPR to these sites was competitively blocked by adenosine and uridine. These results indicate that uridine crosses the brush-border surface of rabbit proximal renal tubule cells by Na+-dependent pathways, but permeates the basolateral surface by NBMPR-sensitive facilitated-diffusion carriers.

Rat Proximal Tubule

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.

Potassium Gradient

The transport pathways for chloride in basolateral membrane vesicles from the rabbit renal cortex were investigated. 36Cl uptake was stimulated by the presence of potassium in the uptake media compared with sodium or N-methyl-D-glucamine. In addition, potassium (86Rb) uptake was stimulated more by chloride than by nitrate or gluconate. Neither of these processes was further stimulated by potassium gradients plus valinomycin, suggesting the presence of an electrically neutral K-Cl cotransport system. A magnesium-induced chloride conductance was also found in the basolateral membrane vesicles. In the absence of magnesium, the chloride conductance was low; valinomycin and an inwardly directed potassium gradient did not stimulate 36Cl uptake, anthracene-9-carboxylic acid did not inhibit 36Cl uptake, and valinomycin did not stimulate chloride-dependent 86Rb uptake. However, in the presence of 1 mM magnesium, opposite results were obtained; valinomycin and an inwardly directed potassium gradient stimulated 36Cl uptake, anthracene-9-carboxylic acid inhibited 36Cl uptake, and valinomycin stimulated chloride-dependent 86Rb uptake. Therefore, an electrically neutral K-Cl cotransport and magnesium-induced chloride conductance were found in renal cortical basolateral membrane vesicles prepared from the rabbit renal cortex.
