Chloride/base exchange activity has been detected in every mammalian nephron segment in which it has been sought. However, in contrast to the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger AE1 in type A intercalated cells, localization of AE2 within the kidney has not been reported. We therefore studied AE2 expression in rat kidney. AE2 mRNA was present in cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla. Semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction of cDNA from microdissected tubules revealed AE2 cDNA levels as follows [copies of cDNA derived per mm tubule (+/- SE)]: proximal convoluted tubule, 688 +/- 161; proximal straight tubule, 652 +/- 189; medullary thick ascending limb, 1,378 +/- 226; cortical thick ascending limb, 741 +/- 24; cortical collecting duct, 909 +/- 71; and outer medullary collecting duct, 579 +/- 132. AE2 cDNA was also amplified in thin limbs and in inner medullary collecting duct. AE2 polypeptide was detected in all kidney regions. AE2 mRNA and protein were also detected in several renal cell lines. The data are compatible with the postulated roles of AE2 in maintenance of intracellular pH and chloride concentration and with its possible participation in transepithelial transport.

Renal Tubular

Extracellular nucleotides are local, short-lived signaling molecules that inhibit renal tubular transport via both luminal and basolateral P2 receptors. Apparently, the renal epithelium itself is able to release nucleotides. The mechanism and circumstances under which nucleotide release is stimulated remain elusive. Here, we investigate the phenomenon of nucleotide secretion in intact, perfused mouse medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) and cortical collecting duct (CCD). The nucleotide secretion was monitored by a biosensor adapted to register nucleotides in the tubular outflow. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured simultaneously in the biosensor cells and the renal tubule with fluo 4. We were able to identify spontaneous tubular nucleotide secretion in resting perfused mTAL. In this preparation, 10 nM AVP and 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) induced robust [Ca2+]i oscillations, whereas AVP in the CCD induced large, slow, and transient [Ca2+]i elevations. Importantly, we identify that AVP/dDAVP triggers tubular secretion of nucleotides in the mTAL. After addition of AVP/dDAVP, the biosensor registered bursts of nucleotides in the tubular perfusate, corresponding to a tubular nucleotide concentration of ∼0.2–0.3 μM. A very similar response was observed after AVP stimulation of CCDs. Thus AVP stimulated tubular secretion of nucleotides in a burst-like pattern with peak tubular nucleotide concentrations in the low-micromolar range. We speculate that local nucleotide signaling is an intrinsic feedback element of hormonal control of renal tubular transport.

Pump Activity

We recently reported a novel intracellular mechanism of Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) regulation in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) by agents that increase cell adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), which involves stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). We now determined whether this mechanism also operates in other nephron segments. In the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) dopamine, the DA1 agonist fenoldopam, forskolin, or dibutyryl-cAMP inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity, similar to results in CCD. In both segments this effect was blocked by 20-residue inhibitory peptide (IP20), a peptide inhibitor of PKA, but not by staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. PKC activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol had no effect on Na-K pump activity in either CCD or MTAL. In contrast, all three PKC activators inhibited pump activity in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), an effect reproduced only by dopamine or by parathyroid hormone [PTH-(1-34)]. In PCT the pump inhibition by dopamine or PTH-(1-34) was abolished by staurosporine but not by IP20. The PLA2 inhibitor mepacrine prevented the effect of all agents, and arachidonic acid produced a dose-dependent pump inhibition in each of the three segments studied. We conclude that intracellular mechanisms of Na-K-ATPase regulation differ along the nephron, as they involve activation of PKA in CCD and MTAL and of PKC in PCT. These two pathways probably share a common mechanism in stimulating PLA2, arachidonic acid release, and production of eicosanoids in both the proximal and distal nephron.

Furosemide Administration

To evaluate the effect of furosemide on kidney function, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary Na excretion (UNaV), Na reabsorption (NAR), and Na+-K+-ATPase in isolated nephron segments were measured in 1) rats treated with furosemide 10 mg X 100 g-1 X 24 h-1 ip for 7 days, and 2) rats receiving an oral Na load for 12 days. In furosemide-treated rats, GFR rose from 0.61 +/- 0.03 (mean +/- SD) to 0.83 +/- 0.06 ml/min (P less than 0.01), UNaV rose from 904 +/- 71 to 1,402 +/- 85 mueq/day (P less than 0.001), and net NAR rose from 87.5 +/- 3.7 to 116.7 +/- 9.0 mueq/min (P less than 0.01). Na+-K+-ATPase remained unchanged in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), proximal straight tubule (PST), cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (cTALH), and medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (mTALH), but was increased in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and in cortical collecting duct (CCD) from 48.5 +/- 1.2 to 75.3 +/- 0.7 (P less than 0.001) and from 18.6 +/- 0.7 to 27.1 +/- 2.7 (P less than 0.02) X 10(-11) mol X mm-1 X min-1, respectively. In Na-loaded rats GFR rose from 0.61 +/- 0.04 to 0.86 +/- 0.03 ml/min (P less than 0.001), UNaV rose from 1,064 +/- 118 to 18,532 +/- 2,045 mueq/day (P less than 0.001), net NAR from 88.1 +/- 3.0 to 107.8 +/- 3.9 mueq/min and Na-K-ATPase in the mTALH rose from 40.3 +/- 1.4 to 56.2 +/- 2.11 (P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Pthrp Receptor

Using a strategy based on homology to the bovine parathyroid Ca(2+)-sensing receptor previously identified by us (5), we have recently isolated an extracellular, G protein-coupled Ca2+/ polyvalent cation-sensing receptor, RaKCaR (22), from rat kidney. The localization and physiological role(s) of this receptor in the kidney are not well understood. In the present study, we assessed the distribution of mRNAs for RaKCaR and the parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH/PTHrP) receptor along the rat nephron by in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction of microdissected nephron segments. Our results show that transcripts for both receptors coexpress at glomeruli, proximal convoluted tubule, proximal straight tubule, cortical thick ascending limb, distal convoluted tubule, and cortical collecting duct. In addition, RaKCaR (but not PTH/PTHrP receptor) transcripts were found in the medullary thick ascending limb and outer medullary and inner medullary collecting ducts. These findings raise the possibility of roles for RaKCaR not only in the regulation of divalent mineral reabsorption but also in water reabsorption and urinary concentration. Taken together, our results provide new insights in understanding the effects of hypercalcemia on hormone-stimulated salt and water transport.

1. To further explore the Na+-retaining effect of indomethacin along the whole length of the nephron, the Na+-K+-ATPase activity of isolated tubules from indomethacin-pretreated rats was compared with that of tubules isolated from intact rats and exposed directly to prostaglandin E2. 2. Indomethacin increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the proximal convoluted tubule (+24%, P<0.001 versus control), proximal straight tubule (+75%, P<0.001 versus control), medullary thick ascending limb (+68%, P<0.001 versus control), cortical thick ascending limb (+7%, not significant) and cortical collecting duct (+18%, P<0.025 versus control). In contrast, in the distal convoluted tubule indomethacin decreased Na+-K+-ATPase activity by −42% (P<0.001 versus control). 3. Indomethacin also strongly increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the cortical collecting duct of adrenalectomized rats. 4. In isolated tubules from control rats, prostaglandin E2 reduced Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the proximal convoluted tubule (−33%, P<0.05), proximal straight tubule (−60%, P<0.001), medullary thick ascending limb (−43%, P<0.001), cortical thick ascending limb (−25%, P<0.001) and cortical collecting duct (−45%, P<0.001) and in the distal convoluted tubule, prostaglandin E2 increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity (+32%, P<0.05). 5. That these changes in Na+-K+-ATPase activity in indomethacin-pretreated rats and prostaglandin E2-treated controls are similar in magnitude but occur in opposite directions suggests that the response to indomethacin is mediated by inhibition of prostaglandin E2 synthesis in the nephron. In the cortical collecting duct the effect of indomethacin is aldosterone-independent.

Sodium Handling

1. Hyperinsulinaemia is considered to be a pathogenic factor for human and experimental hypertension. Thus, the contribution of the known insulin-stimulated tubular sodium reabsorption to this aetiological process has to be discussed. 2. Rats fed a fructose-enriched diet develop hyperinsulinaemia and hypertension, providing a model for studying the regulation of the tubular sodium handling and its possible relationship to hypertension. For this purpose, the sodium transport capacity of isolated nephron segments from control rats and from rats fed a fructose-enriched diet was investigated by measurement of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake and of the hydrolytic activity of Na,K-ATPase. The number and affinity of insulin receptors were estimated from the specific [125I]insulin binding. 3. In rats fed a fructose-enriched diet, mild hypertension developed during the 14-day fructose diet. There were no differences, along the nephron, in basal 86Rb uptakes and ATPase activities between control rats and fructose-induced hypertensive rats. In control rats, insulin stimulated 86Rb uptake in the proximal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting duct, but exhibited an inhibitory action in the medullary thick ascending limb. In contrast, in fructose-induced hypertensive rats, 86Rb influx remained unresponsive to insulin concentrations ranging from 10−11 to 10−7 mol/l in the proximal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting duct. In the medullary thick ascending limb, the threshold of inhibition was displaced from 10−11 mol/l up to 10−7 mol/l. Insulin binding to the proximal convoluted tubule, medullary thick ascending limb and collecting duct were similar in control rats and in rats fed a fructose-enriched diet. 4. We conclude that hypertension developed in rats fed a fructose-enriched diet regardless of change in renal sodium handling since (1) the basal tubular sodium reabsorption capacity of the nephron remained unchanged and (2) the response of the tubular cation transport to insulin was abolished. These results strongly argue against the participation of insulin-mediated tubular sodium retention in the pathogenesis of hypertension and suggest that insulin-related mechanisms modulate the blood vessel reactivity.

Cl Channels

Cl− channels in the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) studied by either patch-clamp technique or reconstitution into lipid bilayers are activated by increases in intracellular Cl−concentrations. rbClC-Ka, a ClC Cl− channel, may represent this channel. We therefore evaluated the role of rbClC-Ka in transcellular MTAL Cl− transport in two separate ways. First, an antibody was raised against a fusion protein containing a 153-amino acid fragment of rbClC-Ka. Immunostaining of rabbit kidney sections with the antibody was localized to basolateral regions of MTAL and cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) segments and also to the cytoplasm of intercalated cells in the cortical collecting duct. Second, Cl− uptake and efflux were measured in suspensions of mouse MTAL segments. Cl− uptake was bumetanide sensitive and was stimulated by treatment with a combination of vasopressin + forskolin + dibutyryl adenosine 3′,5-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP). Cl− efflux was also increased significantly by vasopressin + forskolin + DBcAMP from 114 ± 20 to 196 ± 36 nmol ⋅ mg protein−1 ⋅ 45 s−1( P = 0.003). Cl− efflux was inhibited by the Cl− channel blocker diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (154 ± 26 vs. 70 ± 21 nmol ⋅ mg protein−1 ⋅ 45 s−1, P = 0.003). An anti-rbClC-Ka antibody, which inhibits the activity of MTAL Cl− channels in lipid bilayers, reduced Cl− efflux from intact MTAL segments (154 ± 28 vs. 53 ± 14 nmol ⋅ mg protein−1 ⋅ 45 s−1, P = 0.02). These results support the view that rbClC-Ka is the basolateral membrane Cl− channel that mediates vasopressin-stimulated net Cl− transport in the MTAL segment.

Henle's Loop

A quantitative assay based on the method of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was developed to study the expression of calcitonin (CT) receptors in microdissected rat nephron segments. Steady-state mRNA levels of two CT-receptor spliced variants (CT1a and CT1b) were measured using a mutant cRNA as internal standard. CT1a, but not the CT1b isoform, was detected in the kidney cortex, outer medulla, and papilla. Among the tested segments, predominant expression of CT1a mRNA was found in the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (754 +/- 87 mRNA molecules/mm tubular length; n = 8). Lower expression levels were measured in the medullary thick ascending limb (460 +/- 62 molecules/mm tubule length; n = 7) and in the cortical collecting duct (327 +/- 61 molecules/mm tubule length; n = 6). A weak expression was also detected in the outer medullary collecting duct and the glomerulus. No expression was found in the proximal convoluted tubule, pars recta, and thin descending and thin ascending limb of Henle's loop. We conclude that only the CT1a-receptor mRNA is present in the rat kidney, with a significant level of expression in the cortical and medullary thick ascending limb and in the cortical collecting duct.
