Inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport in intact, rat jejunal epithelium was measured in vitro under short-circuited conditions. Transepithelial net absorptive Pi flux increased linearly with increases in extracellular sodium concentration ([Na]) up to 144 mM. Transmucosal border Pi influx, in contrast, displayed a biphasic Na dependency. Pi influx increased as [Na] was raised from 0 to 100 mM. A further increase in [Na] to 144 mM caused unanticipated reduction in Pi influx. The reason for this dissociation between transmucosal border influx and transepithelial absorptive flux is not clear. We then examined the effect of changes in extracellular pH on Pi influx. Reduction in pH from 7.4 to 6.0 was associated with 150% increase in Pi influx, an observation consistent with the reported reciprocal relation between intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) Pi uptake and extravesicular pH. In contrast to BBMV data, however, a smaller increase (50%) in mucosal Pi influx was noted in intact epithelium when pH was increased from 7.4 to 8.5. Under optimized conditions for Pi influx, i.e., [Na] = 90 mM and pH 6.0, the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] on Pi influx was measured. The total influx could be resolved into a saturable, Na-dependent and a nonsaturable, Na-independent component. 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulated the saturable component of Pi influx.

The two thousand Escherichia coli: Col E1 hybrid plasmid strains of the Clarke and Carbon colony bank (Clarke, L. &Carbon, J. (1976) Cell 9, 91–96) were screened by conjugation for those that correct the deficiency of a mutant unable to transport glycerol-3-phosphate. Six strains harbouring recombinant plasmids carrying the glpT region were identified and characterized with respect to plasmid size and transport properties. The initial rate of glycerol-3-phosphate transport in both whole cells and membrane vesicles prepared from such strains was elevated 3- to 10-fold over strains carrying random DNA inserts, whereas the Km of glycerol-3-phosphate transport was near 12 μM in both experimental and control strains. Four of the six glpT carrying plasmid strains demonstrated elevated levels of the anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase coded for by the neighbouring glpA gene.We have transferred the glpT hybrid plasmids into a minicell-producing strain of E. coli X1197 and have used the minicells for specific in vitro synthesis of plasmid-coded proteins. The glpT plasmids code for a 40 000 polypeptide which is localized in the periplasmic space. In addition, they code for a membrane-associated protein of 26 000 which may be the carrier polypeptide.

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.

The effects of thyroparathyroidectomy, parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, dietary calcium, dietary phosphorus, age, and sex on the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1- and 24-hydroxylases measured in vitro in rats have been studied. Thyroparathyroidectomy of vitamin D-deficient rats abolishes 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity, and administration of bovine parathyroid extract to the thyroparathyroidectomized rat restores diminished 1-hydroxylase activity. Both suppression and restoration of the enzyme activities require many hours (18-24 h) independent of rapid changes in serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels in response to these manipulations. Administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to vitamin D-deficient rats suppresses 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity and stimulates 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 24-hydroxylase activity within 48 h. Rats maintained on a low-calcium or a low-phosphorus diet with a daily supplement of 20 IU vitamin D3 show high 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity and low 24-hydroxylase activity as compared with rats similarly treated but fed a diet containing adequate calcium or adequate phosphorus. When vitamin D-sufficient rats having suppressed renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity are placed on a low-calcium vitamin D-deficient diet for 7 days, the 1-hydroxylase activity is greatly stimulated in 6-wk-old rats but much less so in rats with advancing age.

Energy Dependent

One, twenty-five dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], commonly known as calcitriol, stimulates intestinal Ca absorption through increased activity of a cellular transport process. To determine whether transcellular Ca transport involves energy-dependent Ca efflux across enterocyte plasma membrane in vitamin D-sufficient rats, in vitro bidirectional Ca fluxes were measured under short-circuited conditions across proximal duodenum from rats fed diets adequate in vitamin D and containing a normal Ca diet (NCD), a low Ca diet (LCD), or fed NCD and injected with 50 ng of 1,25(OH)2D3 daily for 4 days before study. LCD or 1,25(OH)2D3 increased Ca net flux [Jnet, mucosal-to-serosal flux minus the serosal-to-mucosal flux] by increasing Ca mucosal-to-serosal flux (Jm----s) (mean +/- SE, NCD vs. LCD vs. 1,25(OH)2D3, 16 +/- 4 vs. 179 +/- 18 vs. 82 +/- 21 nmol.cm-2. h-1, P less than 0.0001). Initial ATP-dependent Ca uptake rates by duodenal basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) was greater in vesicles from rats fed NCD compared with LCD and not different from NCD injected with 1,25(OH)2D3. These studies suggest that in vitamin D-replete animals, 1,25(OH)2D3 increases epithelial Ca Jm----s by mechanisms that do not involve ATP-dependent BLM Ca efflux. ATP-dependent Ca exit from the cell under these conditions may play a role in intracellular Ca homeostasis rather than Ca absorption.
