Functional Analyses

Most vertebrates, including cartilaginous fishes, maintain their plasma SO42− concentration ([SO42−]) within a narrow range of 0.2–1 mM. As seawater has a [SO42−] about 40 times higher than that of the plasma, SO42− excretion is the major role of kidneys in marine teleost fishes. It has been suggested that cartilaginous fishes also excrete excess SO42− via the kidney. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms for SO42− transport in cartilaginous fish, largely due to the extraordinarily elaborate four-loop configuration of the nephron, which consists of at least 10 morphologically distinguishable segments. In the present study, we determined cDNA sequences from the kidney of holocephalan elephant fish ( Callorhinchus milii) that encoded solute carrier family 26 member 1 (Slc26a1) and member 6 (Slc26a6), which are SO42− transporters that are expressed in mammalian and teleost kidneys. Elephant fish Slc26a1 (cmSlc26a1) and cmSlc26a6 mRNAs were coexpressed in the proximal II (PII) segment of the nephron, which comprises the second loop in the sinus zone. Functional analyses using Xenopus oocytes and the results of immunohistochemistry revealed that cmSlc26a1 is a basolaterally located electroneutral SO42− transporter, while cmSlc26a6 is an apically located, electrogenic Cl−/SO42− exchanger. In addition, we found that both cmSlc26a1 and cmSlc26a6 were abundantly expressed in the kidney of embryos; SO42− was concentrated in a bladder-like structure of elephant fish embryos. Our results demonstrated that the PII segment of the nephron contributes to the secretion of excess SO42− by the kidney of elephant fish. Possible mechanisms for SO42− secretion in the PII segment are discussed.
