Rat Kidneys

Isolated perfused rat kidneys removed considerable quantities of glycyltyrosine, glycylhydroxyproline, tetraglycine and prolylhydroxyproline from the perfusate. The component amino acids are released into the perfusate and, in the case of the glycine-containing peptides, there is increased synthesis of serine. Removal of peptides was more than could be accounted for on the basis of filtration, so antiluminal metabolism is indicated. Metabolism of such peptides by the kidney may contribute to renal serine synthesis in vivo.

Metabolism of branched-chain amino and 2-oxo acids was studied in the isolated perfused kidney. Significant amounts of 2-oxo acids were released by perfused kidney with all concentrations of amino acids tested (0.1-1.0 mM each), despite the high activity of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in kidney. As perfusate valine concentration was increased from 0.2 to 1.0 mM, [1-14C]valine transamination (2-oxo acid oxidized + released) increased roughly linearly; [1-14C]valine oxidation, however, increased exponentially. Increasing perfusate concentration of 3-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]butanoate from 0 to 1.0 mM resulted in a linear increase in the rate of its oxidation and a rise in perfusate valine concentration; at the same time significant decreases occurred in perfusate isoleucine and leucine concentrations, with corresponding increases in rates of release of their respective 2-oxo acids. Comparison of rates of oxidation of [1-14C]valine and 3-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]butanoate suggests that 2-oxo acid arising from [1-14C]valine transamination has freer access to the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase than has the 2-oxo acid from the perfusate. The observations indicate that, when branched-chain amino and 2-oxo acids are present in perfusate at near-physiological concentrations, rates of transamination of the amino and 2-oxo acids by isolated perfused kidney are greater than rates of oxidation.

In order to evaluate the renal contribution to the metabolism of arginine, we have evaluated its biosynthesis and catabolism in the isolated perfused rat kidney. The kidneys of eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused with Krebs-Ringer-bicarbonate buffer containing albumin and amino acids. Twenty-five muCi of L-[guanidino-14C]arginine or 25 muCi L-[guanidino-14C]citrulline were added to the system and radiochromatograms of the perfusate were obtained at 0, 30, 60, and 90 min. Perfusate levels of urea, creatine, and guanidine derivatives were measured with high-pressure liquid chromatography. During perfusion there was net utilization of arginine and net production of creatine, guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) and guanidinosuccinic acid (GSA). The guanidino carbon of arginine was incorporated by the kidney into urea, creatine GSA, GAA, and guanidinobutyric acid. The production of 14C-labeled urea from L-[guanidino-14C]citrulline was substantially lower than that previously demonstrated in the liver, while that of arginine was approximately 20 times greater. These studies demonstrate the important contribution of the kidney to the synthesis and metabolism of arginine.

ABSTRACT The isolated perfused rat kidney was used to study the effects of amino-terminal fragments of human parathyroid hormone, hPTH(1–34), bovine parathyroid hormone, bPTH(1–84) and of PTH-related proteins, PTHrP(1–34), PTHrP(1–84), PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) on urinary bicarbonate excretion. PTHrP(1–34) (7 nmol/l), bPTH(1–84) (5·5 nmol/l) and hPTH(1–34) (7 nmol/l) had similar effects in increasing bicarbonate excretion with respect to the control. At lower concentrations (0·7 nmol/l) all PTHrP components, but not hPTH(1–34) or bPTH(1–84) increased bicarbonate excretion significantly. Infusions of PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) at 0·7 nmol/l, while associated with a rise in urinary bicarbonate concentration and excretion during the early stages of perfusion, produced a sharp decline in bicarbonate concentration and excretion in the latter part of perfusion. The different peptides produced no significant differences in glomerular filtration rate, fractional excretion of sodium or urine volume. The absence of substantial differences between the effects of hPTH(1–34) and PTHrP(1–34) are as noted in previous studies. The differences between PTHrP(1–108)/PTHrP(1–141) and PTHrP(1–34) demonstrated here are consistent with (1) the clinical manifestations of acidosis in hyperparathyroidism and alkalosis in humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy, and (2) an independent action of a component of PTHrP beyond amino acids 1–34.
