Altered Transport

Induction of hyperinsulinemia in dogs results in enhanced reabsorption of Pi from glomerular filtrate in the renal proximal tubule. To determine whether this may be a direct action of insulin mediated by altered transport characteristics of the proximal tubular brush border membrane, we measured Na+-dependent 32Pi transport in brush border membrane vesicles prepared from isolated proximal tubular segments originating from dog kidney that had been incubated with or without insulin. Specific high affinity binding sites for insulin were detected in proximal tubular segments. Increased initial rates (15 s) of Na+-dependent 32Pi transport were measured in brush border vesicles prepared from segments that had been incubated with insulin. This effect of insulin was concentration dependent over the range of 10(-10) to 10(-6) M insulin. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of using brush border vesicles prepared from proximal tubular segments to study solute transport. Our findings suggest that insulin-induced increased Pi reabsorption in the proximal tubule is mediated by a direct action of insulin on the proximal tubular cell, which results in increased Na+-Pi cotransport across the brush border membrane.

The characteristics of the proximal tubular Na+-H+ antiporter were determined in isolated proximal tubular cells to ascertain whether the features of this transport system in intact cells are comparable with those previously described for isolated brush-border membrane vesicles. A method is described for the rapid isolation of a purified preparation of cells that demonstrate morphological and functional characteristics of the renal proximal tubule. The cells maintain their polarity while in suspension, and adenylate cyclase activity is enhanced by parathyroid hormone but not by arginine vasopressin. The cells display gluconeogenic function and Na+-dependent alpha-methyl-D-glucose and organic phosphate cotransport, processes that confirm their proximal tubule origin. O2 consumption rates and cytosolic adenosine triphosphate levels indicate functional integrity. Na+-H+ antiport activity was defined in these cells by measuring amiloride-sensitive Na+ uptake. At intracellular pH = 6.4 vs. extracellular pH = 7.4, KtNa was 10.1 +/- 2.8 mM, and maximal sodium flux was 0.89 +/- 0.13 nmol X 10(6) cells-1 X K0.5 for amiloride and ethyl-isopropyl amiloride, measured at an external Na+ concentration of 1 mM, was observed at 2.5 X 10(-5) M and 2.9 X 10(-6) M, respectively. The external and internal loci of the exchanger displayed asymmetric affinity for the hydrogen ion: the apparent pK for the external site was 7.20-7.26 vs. less than 6.5 for the internal site. The internal site demonstrated features of positive cooperativity. In summary, the Na+-H+ antiporter present in the luminal membrane of the renal proximal tubule has been characterized in the intact cell and displays functional and kinetic parameters closely resembling those described in isolated brush-border membrane vesicles.

These studies were performed to determine if a low-affinity carrier is present in the luminal membrane of proximal tubular cells for the transport of the dipeptide, pyroglutamyl-histidine (pGlu-His). We have previously described the existence of a specific, high-affinity, low-capacity [transport constant (Kt) = 9.3 X 10(-8) M, Vmax = 6.1 X 10(-12) mol.mg-1.min-1] carrier for pGlu-His in renal brush-border membrane vesicles. In the present study, we sought to demonstrate that multiple carriers exist for the transport of a single dipeptide by determining whether a low-affinity carrier also exists for the uptake of pGlu-His. Transport of pGlu-His into brush-border membrane vesicles was saturable over the concentration range of 10(-5)-10(-3) M, yielding a Kt of 6.3 X 10(-5) M and a Vmax of 2.2 X 10(-10) mol.mg-1.min-1. Uptake was inhibited by the dipeptides glycyl-proline, glycyl-sarcosine, and carnosine but not by the tripeptide pyroglutamyl-histidyl-prolinamide. We conclude that 1) pGlu-His is transported across the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule by multiple carriers and 2) the lower affinity carrier, unlike the higher affinity carrier, is nonspecific with respect to other dipeptides.

The multiple indicator-dilution technique in vivo and isolated brush-border membranes in vitro have been used to explore the mechanism of maleic acid-induced glucosuria in dog kidney. The interaction of D-glucose with the antiluminal membrane from the peritubular fluid surface is unaltered. It is demonstrated that alpha-methyl-D-glucoside (alpha MG) enters and exits from the proximal tubular cell only across the brush-border membrane. Then using alphaMG as a reference indicator, it is shown that maleic acid does not cause complete inhibition of D-glucose interaction with the antiluminal membrane from the cytoplasmic surface. The binding of [3H]phlorizin both in vivo and in vitro is not affected by prior administration of maleic acid, indicating that D-glucose interaction with the outside surface of the brush border is also not affected by maleic acid. The data are therefore consistent with the concept that maleic acid-induced glucosuria is due either to i) partial inhibition of D-glucose movement from cytoplasm across the antiluminal membrane into the blood, ii) stimulated movement back across the brush-border membrane into urine, or iii) a combination of the two effects.

To ascertain whether cAMP-dependent phosphorylation could be demonstrated in brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from kidneys of mice with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (HYP/Y) and normal littermates (+/Y) and, if so, to determine whether the absence of dephosphorylation might underlie differences in Na+-dependent 32Pi transport in BBMV, we measured 1) 32Pi transport, 2) cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, and 3) dephosphorylation in BBMV from +/Y and HYP/Y mice. Na+ gradient-dependent 32Pi transport was decreased in BBMV from HYP/Y mice as reflected in a decreased apparent Vmax. cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of a 62,000 Mr protein was demonstrated in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels of BBMV from +/Y and HYP/Y mice and was associated with decreased Na+-dependent 32Pi transport. Dephosphorylation of the 62,000 Mr band was demonstrable in both types of membranes. Thus, both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities were demonstrable in BBMV isolated from +/Y and HYP/Y mice. These results are consistent with the renal tubular defect in the HYP/Y mouse reflecting an intrinsic abnormality of Pi transport in the brush border membrane independent from mediation of the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone.

Cotransport System

Brush-border membrane vesicles were isolated from rabbit duodenum by a Mg2+ precipitation method, and phosphate transport was analyzed by a rapid filtration technique. Uptake of inorganic phosphate (Pi) was stimulated by an inwardly directed sodium gradient, indicating the operation of a Na-Pi cotransport system in brush-border membrane vesicles. Treatment of the animals with ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP), which is known to decrease the circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], reduced within 3 days the sodium-dependent Pi transport in the brush-border vesicles. Injections of 1,25(OH)2D3 into rabbits increased within 9 h the sodium-dependent Pi transport in membranes from EHDP-treated animals as well as in untreated ones. The Na-D-glucose cotransport system appeared to be unaffected by these maneuvers. These results suggest that the Na-Pi cotransport system is an important site of regulation of intestinal transepithelial Pi transport by 1,25(OH)2)D3.

Membrane transport pathways mediating transcellular secretion of urate across the proximal tubule were investigated in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from avian kidney. An inside-positive K diffusion potential induced a conductive uptake of urate to levels exceeding equilibrium. Protonophore-induced dissipation of membrane potential significantly reduced voltage-driven urate uptake. Conductive uptake of urate was inhibitor sensitive, substrate specific, and a saturable function of urate concentration. Urate uptake was trans-stimulated by urate and cis-inhibited by p-aminohippurate (PAH). Conductive uptake of PAH was cis-inhibited by urate. Urate uptake was unaffected by an outward α-ketoglutarate gradient. In the absence of a membrane potential, urate uptake was similar in the presence and absence of an imposed inside-alkaline pH gradient or an outward Cl gradient. These observations suggest a uniporter-mediated facilitated diffusion of urate as a pathway for passive efflux across the brush border membrane of urate-secreting proximal tubule cells.
