The Difference

Previous clearance studies have shown that chronic administration (26 pmol/day i.p. for 7 days) of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) decreases the tubular reabsorptive capacity for inorganic phosphate (Pi) in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats. In the present study the tubular localization of this effect was examined by free-flow micropuncture in TPTX rats. At the mentioned dosage, 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited net Pi reabsorption in the early portion of the proximal tubule. In addition, 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment altered the difference in Pi delivery between the distal tubule and the final urine, suggesting an inhibition of net Pi reabsorption along the terminal portion of the nephron, or, alternatively, admixture of tubular fluid with higher Pi concentration from deep nephrons. Finally, in TPTX rats the tubular localization of the effect of varying the dietary Pi content was found to be quite similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3.

Brush Border Membrane Vesicles

Experiments performed on microperfused proximal tubules and brush-border membrane vesicles revealed that inorganic phosphate is actively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule involving a 2 Na + -HPO 2- 4 or H 2 PO 4 - co-transport step in the brush-border membrane and a sodium-independent exit step in the basolateral cell membrane. Na + - phosphate co-transport is competitively inhibited by arsenate. The transtubular transport regulation is mirrored by the brush-border transport step: it is inhibited by parathyroid hormone intracellularly mediated by cyclic AMP. Transepithelial inorganic phosphate (P i ) transport and Na + -dependent P i transport across the brush-border membrane correlates inversely with the P i content of the diet. Intraluminal acidification as well as intracellular alkalinization led to a reduction of transepithelial P i transport. Data from brush-border membrane vesicles indicate that high luminal H + concentrations reduce the affinity for Na + of the Na + -phosphate co-transport system, and that this mechanism might be responsible for the pH dependence of phosphate reabsorption. Contraluminal influx of P i from the interstitium into the cell could be partly inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS). It is not, however, changed when dicarboxylic acids are present or when the pH of the perfusate is reduced to pH 6. Sulphate is actively reabsorbed, involving electroneutral 2 Na + -SO 2 - 4 co-transport through the brush-border membrane. This transport step is inhibited by thiosulphate and molybdate, but not by phosphate or tungstate. The transtubular active sulphate reabsorption is not pH dependent, but is diminished by the absence of bicarbonate. The transport of sulphate through the contraluminal cell side is inhibited by DIDS and diminished when the capillary perfusate contains no bicarbonate or chloride. The latter data indicate the presence of an anion exchange system in the contraluminal cell membrane like that in the erythrocyte membrane.

1. The existence of tubular secretion of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the mammalian kidney has been investigated by studying the renal response of rats infused with sodium phosphate by three different techniques. 2. Clearance studies indicate that, in anaesthetized rats, the net tubular reabsorption decreases markedly in response to Pi infusion. In conscious rats, the clearance of Pi slightly exceeded that of inulin at high plasma Pi concentration. 3. Free-flow micropuncture in control rats showed a net tubular reabsorption of Pi along the proximal tubule, and probably between the end of the distal tubule and the ureteral urine. In phosphate-loaded rats, whether receiving parathyroid hormone or not, an apparent net secretion of Pi was observed between the end of the distal tubule and the ureteral urine. In the phosphate-loaded group receiving parathyroid hormone, net secretion was also observed very early in the proximal tubule followed by a predominant reabsorption along this segment. Thus the early proximal tubule and probably also the terminal nephron can be the site of either net reabsorption or net secretion. 4. Microperfusions of proximal tubules show a fall in the specific radioactivity of the perfused radioactive Pi solution, indicating entry of Pi into the lumen.

The Mean

The characteristics of inorganic phosphate transport in isolated perfused proximal tubules of the rabbit were examined using radioisotopic techniques. When tubules were perfused with an ultrafiltrate of rabbit serum, the mean lumen-to-bath flux of phosphate in the convoluted segment was 6.60 +/- 1.41 (SE) pmol/mm-min with a simultaneous back-to-lumen flux of 0.45 +/- 0.08. In the straight portion of the proximal tubule, the lumen-to-bath flux was significantly lower (P less than 0.01) at 2.22 +/- 0.48 pmol/min-min with a bath-to-lumen flux of 0.31 +/- 0.05. The lumen-to-bath flux was not affected by increases in the intraluminal phosphate concentration from 2.00 +/- 0.19 to 3.12 +/- 0.34 mM or by the isohydric replacement of bicarbonate in the ambient fluids with chloride. However, phosphate absorption was completely inhibited by ouabain 10(-5) M in the bath. These data indicate that phosphate absorption in these segments occurs by a mechanism other than independent diffusion and is saturated at phosphate concentrations characteristic of normal glomerular filtrate. There is no evidence for significant phosphate transport from bath to lumen.

Lead Phosphate

Freinkel et al (1974) demonstrated that isolated perifused rat pancreatic islets reproduceably release up to 50% of their total inorganic phosphate when the concentration of glucose in the perifusion medium is raised.Using a slight modification of the Libanati and Tandler (1969) method for localising inorganic phosphate by fixation-precipitation with glutaraldehyde-lead acetate we can demonstrate there is a significant deposition of lead phosphate (identified by energy dispersive electron microscope microanalysis) at or on the plasmalemma of the B cell of the islets (Fig 1, 3). Islets after incubation in high glucose show very little precipitate at this or any other site (Fig 2). At higher magnification the precipitate seems to be intracellular (Fig 4) but since any use of osmium or uranyl acetate to increase membrane contrast removes the precipitate of lead phosphate it has not been possible to verify this as yet.

Perfusion Fixation

Microbodies have received extensive morphological and cytochemical investigation since they were first described by Rhodin in 1954. To our knowledge, however, all investigations of microbodies and cytoplasmic bodies of rat renal proximal tubule cells have employed immersion fixation. Tisher, et al. have shown convincing evidence of fine structural alteration of microbodies in rhesus monkey kidney following immersion fixation; these alterations were not encountered when in vivo intravascular perfusion was employed. In view of these studies, and the fact that techniques for perfusion fixation have been established specifically for the rat kidney by Maunsbach, it seemed desirable to employ perfusion fixation to study the fine structure and distribution of microbodies and cytoplasmic bodies within the rat renal proximal tubule.
