Basolateral Membrane H / OH / HCO 3 Transport in the Rat Cortical Thick Ascending Limb
نویسنده
چکیده
Mechanisms involved in basolateral H/OH/HCO3 transport in the in vitro microperfused rat cortical thick ascending limb were examined by the microfluorometric determination of cell pH using (2',7')-bis-(carboxyethyl)-(5,6)-carboxyfluorescein. The mean cell pH in this segment perfused with 147 mM sodium and 25 mM HCO3 at pH 7.4 was 7.13±0.02 (n = 30). Lowering bath HCO3 from 25 to 5 mM (constant Pco2 of 40 mmHg) acidified the cells by 0.31±0.02 pH units at a rate of 0.56±0.08 pH units/min. Removal of bath sodium acidified the cells by 0.28±0.03 pH units at a rate of 0.33±0.04 pH units/ min. The cell acidification was stilbene inhibitable and independent of chloride. There was no effect of bath sodium removal on cell pH in the absence ofC02/HCO3. Depolarization of the basolateral membrane (step increase in bath potassium) independent of the presence of chloride. Cell acidification induced by bath sodium removal persisted when the basolateral membrane was voltage clamped by high potassium/valinomycin. Although these results are consistent with a Na/ (HCO3).>1 cotransporter, a Na/H antiporter was also suggested: 1 mM bath amiloride inhibited the cell pH defense against an acid load (rapid ammonia washout), both in the presence and absence of C02/HCO3, and inhibited the cell acidification induced by bath sodium reduction from 50 to 0 mM. In conclusion, an electrogenic Na/(HCO3),,,l cotransporter in parallel with a Na/H antiporter exist on the basolateral membrane of the rat cortical thick ascending limb.

Pathways for HCO-3 exit across the basolateral membrane in rat thick limbs.
We studied the pathways for HCO-3 transport in basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) purified from rat medullary thick ascending limbs (MTAL). An inward HCO-3 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+-HCO-3 cotransport in these membranes. An inside-aci...

Mechanisms involved in basolateral HCO transport were examined in the in vitro microperfused rat medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (MTALH) by microfluorometric monitoring of cell pH. Removing peritubular Cl(-) induced a cellular alkalinization that was inhibited in the presence of peritubular 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and blunted in the absence of external CO...
متن کاملNBCn1 is a basolateral Na+-HCO3- cotransporter in rat kidney inner medullary collecting ducts.
Primary cultures of rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells Na(+) dependently import HCO(3)(-) across the basolateral membrane through an undefined transport protein. We used RT-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry to identify candidate proteins for this basolateral Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransport. The mRNA encoding the electroneutral Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter NBCn1 was detect...
متن کاملTransepithelial HCO3- absorption is defective in renal thick ascending limbs from Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 null mutant mice.
In the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) of rat kidney, inhibiting basolateral Na(+)/H(+) exchange with either amiloride or nerve growth factor (NGF) results secondarily in inhibition of apical Na(+)/H(+) exchange, thereby decreasing transepithelial HCO(3)(-) absorption. To assess the possible role of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE1 in this regulatory process, MTALs from wild-type and NHE1 kn...
متن کاملRegulation of the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger AE2 in rat thick ascending limb of Henle's loop in response to changes in acid-base and sodium balance.
The Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE2 is believed to be involved in transcellular bicarbonate reabsorption that occurs in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL). The purpose of this study was to test whether chronic changes in acid-base status and sodium intake regulate AE2 polypeptide abundance in the TAL of the rat. Rats were subjected to 6 d of loading with NaCl, NH(4)Cl, NaHCO(3), KCl, ...
