Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

The rate of proximal tubular reabsorption of phosphate (Pi) is a major determinant of Pi homeostasis. Deviations of the extracellular concentration of Piare corrected by many factors that control the activity of Na-Pi cotransport across the apical membrane. In this review, we describe the regulation of proximal tubule Pi reabsorption via one particular Na-Pi cotransporter (the type IIa cotransporter) by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and dietary phosphate intake. Available data indicate that both factors determine the net amount of type IIa protein residing in the apical membrane. The resulting change in transport capacity is a function of both the rate of cotransporter insertion and internalization. The latter process is most likely regulated by PTH and dietary Pi and is considered irreversible since internalized type IIa Na-Picotransporters are subsequently routed to the lysosomes for degradation.

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

A nonobstructing optical method was developed to measure proximal tubular fluid reabsorption in rat nephron at 0.25 Hz. The effects of uncaging luminal nitric oxide (NO) on proximal tubular reabsorption were investigated with this method. Proximal fluid reabsorption rate was calculated as the difference of tubular flow measured simultaneously at two locations (0.8–1.8 mm apart) along a convoluted proximal tubule. Tubular flow was estimated on the basis of the propagating velocity of fluorescent dextran pulses in the lumen. Changes in local tubular flow induced by intratubular perfusion were detected simultaneously along the proximal tubule, indicating that local tubular flow can be monitored in multiple sites along a tubule. The estimated tubular reabsorption rate was 5.52 ± 0.38 nl·min−1·mm−1 ( n = 20). Flash photolysis of luminal caged NO (potassium nitrosylpentachlororuthenate) was induced with a 30-Hz UV nitrogen-pulsed laser. Release of NO from caged NO into the proximal tubule was confirmed by monitoring intracellular NO concentration using a cell-permeant NO-sensitive fluorescent dye (DAF-FM). Emission of DAF-FM was proportional to the number of laser pulses used for uncaging. Photolysis of luminal caged NO induced a dose-dependent inhibition of proximal tubular reabsorption without activating tubuloglomerular feedback, whereas uncaging of intracellular cGMP in the proximal tubule decreased tubular flow. Coupling of this novel method to measure reabsorption with photolysis of caged signaling molecules provides a new paradigm to study tubular reabsorption with ambient tubular flow.
