22Na Uptake

The natriuretic and diuretic effects of dopamine are attenuated in the young. Because dopamine has actions on receptors (e.g., adrenergic, serotonin) other than dopamine, we studied a novel dopamine agonist, pramipexole, which has a selectivity to both DA1 and DA2-receptor subtypes. Intravenous administration of pramipexole resulted in a dose-related (1, 10, and 100 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) increase in urine flow and absolute and fractional sodium excretion and a decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) in three groups of rats studied. Pramipexole induced a greater decrease in MAP in 6- to 7- (n = 5) and 9- to 16- (n = 6) than in 3- to 4-wk-old (n = 8) rats; the natriuresis and diuresis were greatest in 12- to 16- and least in 3- to 4-wk-old rats. The renal effects of pramipexole were mainly due to actions at the DA1 receptor, since these effects were completely blocked by the coinfusion of a DA1 antagonist, SKF 83742. To explore further a cause of the attenuated natriuretic effect of pramipexole in the young, we studied the effect of a selective DA1-receptor agonist, fenoldopam, on amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ uptake in renal brush-border membrane vesicles. The 3-s amiloride-sensitive uptake was inhibited (45%) by fenoldopam (5 x 10(-5)M) in 9- to 16- (n = 6) but not in 3- to 4-wk-old (n = 5) rats. These studies suggest that the attenuated natriuretic effect of dopamine in the young is in part due to decreased DA1 action on the brush-border membrane Na(+)-H+ exchanger.

The effect of gentamicin on transport of pyroglutamylhistidine (pGlu-His) was examined in rabbit renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is limited in its usage because of nephrotoxicity characterized in part by transport defects in the proximal tubule. Since there is no information regarding the effects of gentamicin on renal peptide carriers, uptake of [3H]pGlu-His was measured in BBMV following either in vivo or in vitro exposure to the antibiotic. One hour after in vivo administration, the maximal rate (Vmax) for pGlu-His transport was significantly reduced in isolated membrane vesicles washed free of the drug, but the apparent Michaelis constant (Km) was unaltered. Coincubation of membranes with gentamicin during measurements of pGlu-His uptake had a similar effect, causing a significant decrease in the Vmax but not the Km of transport. The addition of 5 mM magnesium to the uptake medium prevented the in vitro but not the in vivo effect. The data indicate that high doses of gentamicin inhibit the capacity but not the affinity of dipeptide transport in the kidney, prior to morphological changes which typify acute tubular necrosis. The in vitro effect is rapid and involves a direct action of gentamicin on the brush-border membrane. The in vivo experiments show that toxicity may be prolonged and remains following removal of the drug from the renal brush border.

Cholera toxin is very well characterized in terms of the activation of adenylate cyclase. In some systems, however, this cyclase activation does not seem to account for all of the physiological responses to the toxin. On the premise that cholera toxin may also exert effects through other second messenger compounds we have studied the effect of cholera toxin on the rate of Ca2+ movement across the membrane of intestinal brush border vesicles. Increasing concentrations of cholera toxin progressively accelerated the passive uptake of Ca2+ into, and the efflux of Ca2+ from, an osmotically active space in brush border membrane vesicles. This effect of cholera toxin was saturable by excess Ca2+ and was relatively specific, as the toxin did not affect vesicle permeability to an uncharged polar solute. The toxin had two high affinity Ca2+ binding sites on the A subunit as measured by equilibrium dialysis. Ca2+ transport facilitated by cholera toxin was temperature dependent, required the holotoxin, and could be inhibited by preincubation of the toxin with excess free ganglioside GM1.This increased rate of Ca2+ influx caused by the in vitro addition of cholera toxin to brush border membrane vesicles may have physiological significance as it was comparable to rates observed with the Ca ionophore A23187. Similar effects occurring in vivo could permit cholera toxin to increase cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations and to produce accompanying second messenger effects.

Previous studies showed that an increase in NAD+ content in renal cortex in vivo was accompanied by specific inhibition of Na+-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport across the renal brush border membrane (BBM). Further, in vitro addition of NAD+ to isolated renal BBM vesicles specifically inhibited Na+ gradient-dependent transport of Pi. The present study examined some aspects of the mechanism of this inhibition by NAD+ in vitro and in vivo. When NAD+ was increased in vivo by nicotinamide injection, the apparent Vmax was decreased, but the apparent Km was not different, indicating apparent noncompetitive inhibition. In the presence of 0.3 mM NAD+ added in vitro, the apparent Km for Na+-dependent Pi transport by BBM vesicles was increased, whereas the apparent Vmax was unchanged, indicating apparent competitive inhibition. These changes in apparent Km and apparent Vmax were identical when Pi uptake was measured either at 30-s or at 5-s (the initial rate) incubation times. Inhibition of Pi transport by BBM vesicles in vitro was due primarily to the action of intact added NAD+, although there may be some contribution by isotope dilution due to Pi released from NAD+ by enzymatic hydrolysis. Although in vitro inhibition of Pi transport by added NAD+ was reversed by washing the BBM, the inhibition due to increased NAD+ in vivo persisted after extensive washing of the isolated BBM. The specificity of the inhibitory effect of NAD+ in vivo was indicated by the finding that changes in renal cortical content of ATP or Pi, evoked by loading with glycerol or fructose, did not change BBM transport of Pi.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Vitro Model

Intestinal brush-border-membrane vesicles were prepared from the porcine small bowel by magnesium precipitation and differential centrifugation, and were functionally intact. The influence of dietary ligands on 65Zn uptake was determined using a 65Zn concentration of 5 μm, an incubation time of 1 min and a reaction temperature of 27°, with a rapid filtration technique. At this low Zn concentration the addition of an excess of folate, histidine or glucose had no effect on Zn uptake. Addition of picolinate, citrate and phytate to the incubation medium significantly reduced Zn uptake at all concentrations of ligand examined. Any inhibitory effects of folic acid in vivo may thuss be due to a mucosal rather than lumen interaction. Those ligands inhibiting absorption may have done so through the formation of Zn-ligand complexes, which are either insoluble, or which reduce the binding of Zn to its mucosal receptor. This in vitro model of Zn absorption is useful for comparing the effects of potential Zn-binding ligands in the diet.

ABSTRACT The direct effect of a rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein, NSP4, and certain related peptides on the sodium-coupled transport ofd-glucose and of l-leucine was studied by using intestinal brush border membrane vesicles isolated from young rabbits. Kinetic analyses revealed that the NSP4(114-135) peptide, which causes diarrhea in young rodents, is a specific, fully noncompetitive inhibitor of the Na+-d-glucose symporter (SGLT1). This interaction involves three peptide-binding sites per carrier unit. In contrast, the Norwalk virus NV(464-483) and mNSP4(131K) peptides, neither of which causes diarrhea, both behave inertly. The NSP4(114-135) and NV(464-483) peptides inhibited Na+-l-leucine symport about equally and partially via a different transport mechanism, in that Na+behaves as a nonobligatory activator. The selective and strong inhibition caused by the NSP4(114-135) peptide on SGLT1 in vitro suggests that during rotavirus infection in vivo, NSP4 can be one effector directly causing SGLT1 inhibition. This effect, implying a concomitant inhibition of water reabsorption, is postulated to play a mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of rotavirus diarrhea.

The sustained in vivo infusion of phosphate into thyroparathyroidectomized rats resulted, after 1 h, in a marked decrease in net phosphate reabsorption, even though the plasma concentration of phosphate continued to rise. This response to phosphate infusion was expressed at the level of the proximal tubule brush border membrane. Within 40 min of the initiation of the infusion the Na+-dependent phosphate uptake system in isolated membrane vesicles was decreased. Phosphate uptake in the absence of Na+, Na+-dependent D-glucose uptake, and 22Na+ uptake were not affected. These findings demonstrate the locus of this parathyroid hormone-independent adaptation and indicate the rapidity with which the membrane transport system is regulated.
