Conventional and double-barreled microelectrodes were used to examine the anion selectivity of Cl- conductance in the basolateral membrane of rabbit renal proximal tubule S3 segment. The permeability sequence determined by anion replacements in the presence of K+ channel blocker quinine was SCN- > I- > Br- > Cl- > gluconate in both nonperfused and luminally perfused tubules. The anion-selective microelectrodes with higher sensitivity to I- enabled us to measure intracellular I- activities. With these electrodes, we could compare the conductive movements of Cl- and I- in response to the increase in bath K+ concentrations and confirmed that the conductance sequence was also I- > Cl-. Although the basolateral potential changes generated by Cl- and Br- currents were stimulated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), the potential changes by SCN- and I- currents were somewhat inhibited by cAMP. In addition, the conductive uptake of I- was, in contrast to that of Cl-, inhibited by cAMP These results are consistent with the existence of at least two distinct anion conductances in this membrane, which are differently regulated by cAMP.

Techniques are presented for the isolation and perfusion of renal proximal tubules from the neotenic salamander Ambystoma tigrinum. Methods are described for a determination of normal values for fluid transport and electrophysiological parameters. Stable cellular microelectrode recordings are reported that constitute the first intracellular measurements in an isolated perfused tubule preparation. With identical solutions in lumen and bath, fluid reabsorption averaged 0.28 nl.min-1.mm-1, transepithelial potential difference averaged -4.5 mV, transepithelial resistance was 52.1 omega.cm2, and the transepithelial chloride-to-sodium transference number ratio was 3.4. The basolateral cell membrane potential difference averaged -59.6 mV, and the ratio of apical-to-basolateral cell membrane resistance was between 3.9 and 5. Viability of the isolated perfused salamander proximal tubule preparation is demonstrated by a detailed comparison of the present data with results of in vivo micropuncture experiments on both Necturus and intact Ambystoma kidneys. In addition to being an advantageous preparation for long-term intracellular recordings, the Ambystoma kidney is unique in that proximal tubules can be studied both in isolation and by conventional micropuncture.

he basolateral cell membrane of the rat proximal tubule contains a Na+-Ca2+ exchanger that may participate in the regulation of cytosolic calcium (Cai) and Ca2+ transport. In this work, the activity and orientation of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger was studied in rat proximal tubules. The experiments were based on the thermodynamic notion that the exchanger is driven by the prevalence of either of two electrochemical gradients, that for Na+ (delta mu Na+) or for Ca2+ (delta mu Ca2+). Reductions in delta mu Na+, achieved by lowering extracellular Na+ (Nao) from 150 to 15 mM, increased Cai, decreased 45Ca efflux, and increased 45Ca influx. These changes occurred concurrently. When delta mu Na+ was reduced by increasing intracellular Na+ (Nai) with 10(-3) M oubain, Cai also increased. The effect of ouabain was probably dependent on Nai accumulation because the surge in Cai was prevented by exposure of the tubules to 5 mM Nao before ouabain exposure. On the other hand, when delta mu Na+ was lowered mM Nao and then by reducing Nao to 15 mM, Cai rose in two additive stages. We conclude from these data that in the rat proximal tubule the basal state of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger is in forward mode, Nao-Cai. Moreover, the function of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger is in accord with predictions derived from a thermodynamic analysis of its function.
