Activation of the apical Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 by formate: a basis of enhanced fluid and electrolyte reabsorption by formate in the kidney.

چکیده
Formate stimulates sodium chloride and fluid reabsorption in kidney proximal tubule; however, the exact cellular mechanism of this effect remains unknown. We hypothesized that the primary target of formate is the apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. Here, we demonstrate that formate directly enhances the apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE3) activity in mouse kidney proximal tubule. In the absence of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-), addition of formate (500 microM) to the bath and lumen of microperfused mouse kidney proximal tubule caused significant intracellular alkalinization, with intracellular pH (pH(i)) increasing from baseline levels 7.17 +/- 0.01 to 7.55 +/- 0.01 (P < 0.001, n = 14), with a Delta pH of 0.38 +/- 0.02. Removal of luminal chloride did not block cell pH alkalinization by formate (baseline pH of 7.26 +/- 0.01 to 7.53 +/- 0.01 with formate, P < 0.001, n = 10), indicating that the apical Cl(-)/OH(-) exchanger was not the primary mediator of the effect of formate on cell pH. However, removal of sodium from the lumen or addition of EIPA completely prevented cell pH alkalinization. Addition of formate to the lumen and bath in the outer medullary collecting duct, which does not express any apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, did not cause any cell pH alkalinization. At lower concentrations (50 microM), formate caused significant pH(i) alkalinization in proximal tubule cells, with pH(i) increasing from baseline levels 7.15 +/- 0.02 to 7.36 +/- 0.02 (P < 0.02, n = 11). Acetate, at 50 microM, had no effect on pH(i). Formate's effect was observed both in the absence and presence of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) in the media. We conclude that formate stimulates the apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 in the kidney proximal tubule. We propose that formate stimulation of chloride reabsorption in the proximal tubule is indirect and is secondary to the activation of apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3, which then leads to the stimulation of the apical chloride/base exchanger.

متن کاملEssential role of NHE3 in facilitating formate-dependent NaCl absorption in the proximal tubule.
The absorption of NaCl in the proximal tubule is markedly stimulated by formate. This stimulation of NaCl transport is consistent with a cell model involving Cl(-)-formate exchange in parallel with pH-coupled formate recycling due to nonionic diffusion of formic acid or H(+)-formate cotransport. The formate recycling process requires H(+) secretion. Although Na(+)-H(+) exchanger isoform NHE3 ac...
متن کاملRole of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 in nephron function: micropuncture studies with S3226, an inhibitor of NHE3.
Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 is expressed in the luminal membrane of proximal tubule and thin and thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. To further define its role, the novel NHE3 inhibitor S3226 was employed in micropuncture experiments in nephrons with superficial glomeruli of anesthetized rats. Microperfusion of proximal convoluted tubule with S3226 revealed a dose-dependent inhibition of reabso...
متن کاملImproving Thermal Stability of Starch in Formate Fluids for Drilling High Temperature Shales
Starch is one of the most widely used biopolymers in water based drilling fluids to control fluid loss. The thermal stability of starch in common drilling fluids is low (93 °C). In this study, the thermal stability of starch has been evaluated in sodium/potassium formate and potassium chloride fluids. Samples of mud were prepared by formate salts (sodium and potassium) and potassium chloride wi...
متن کاملFormate-stimulated NaCl absorption in the proximal tubule is independent of the pendrin protein.
A significant fraction of active chloride reabsorption across the apical membrane of the proximal tubule is mediated by a chloride/formate exchange process, whereby intracellular formate drives the transport of chloride into the cell. When chloride/formate exchange operates in parallel with Na(+)/H(+) exchange and H(+)-coupled recycling of formate, the net result is electroneutral NaCl reabsorp...
