The present study describes two novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.410C>T(p.T137M) (T137M) on the maternal and g.4225_50del on the paternal allele of SLC34A3, in a previously reported male with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) and recurrent kidney stones (Chen C, Carpenter T, Steg N, Baron R, Anast C. Pediatrics 84: 276–280, 1989). For functional analysis in vitro, we generated expression plasmids encoding enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) concatenated to the NH2 terminus of wild-type or mutant human type IIc Na-Pi cotransporter (NaPi-IIc), i.e., EGFP-hNaPi-IIc, EGFP-[M137]hNaPi-IIc, or EGFP-[Stop446]hNaPi-IIc. The V446Stop mutant showed complete loss of expression and function when assayed for apical patch expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells and sodium-dependent 33P uptake into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Conversely, EGFP-[M137]hNaPi-IIc was inserted into apical patches of OK cells and into oocyte membranes. However, when quantified by confocal microscopy, surface fluorescence was reduced to 40% compared with wild-type. After correction for surface expression, the rate of 33P uptake by oocytes mediated by EGFP-[M137]hNaPi-IIc was decreased by an additional 60%. The resulting overall reduction of function of this NaPi-IIc mutant to 16%, taken together with complete loss of expression and function of g.4225_50del(V446Stop), thus appears to be sufficient to explain the phenotype in our patient. Furthermore, the stoichiometric ratio of 22Na and 33P uptake was increased to 7.1 ± 3.65 for EGFP-[M137]hNaPi-IIc compared with wild-type. Two-electrode studies indicate that EGFP-[M137]hNaPi-IIc is nonelectrogenic but displayed a significant phosphate-independent inward-rectified sodium current, which appears to be insensitive to phosphonoformic acid. M137 thus may uncouple sodium-phosphate cotransport, suggesting that this amino acid residue has an important functional role in human NaPi-IIc.

Abstract The opossum kidney (OK) line displays PTH-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C and inhibition of phosphate (Pi) uptake via regulation of the type IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter, consistent with effects in vivo. OKH cells, a subclone of the OK cell line, robustly activates PTH-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase, but is defective in PTH-mediated inhibition of sodium-phosphate cotransport and signaling via phospholipase C. Compared with wild-type OK cells, OKH cells express low levels of the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF-1). Stable expression of NHERF-1 in OKH cells (OKH-N1) rescues the PTH-mediated inhibition of sodium-phosphate cotransport. NHERF-1 also restores the capacity of 8-bromo-cAMP and forskolin to inhibit Pi uptake, but the PTH dose-response for cAMP accumulation and inhibition of Pi uptake differ by 2 orders of magnitude. NHERF-1, in addition, modestly restores phorbol ester-mediated inhibition of Pi uptake, which is much weaker than that elicited by PTH. A poor correlation exists between the inhibition of Pi uptake mediated by PTH (∼60%) and the inhibition mediated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (∼30%) and the ability of these molecules to activate the protein kinase C-responsive reporter gene. Furthermore, we show that NHERF-1 directly interacts with type IIa cotransporter in OK cells. Although, PTH-mediated inhibition of Pi uptake in OK cells is largely NHERF-1 dependent, the signaling pathway(s) by which this occurs is still unclear. These pathways may involve cooperativity between cAMP- and protein kinase C-dependent pathways or activation/inhibition of an unrecognized NHERF-1-dependent pathway(s).

Vectorial Na+ reabsorption across the proximal tubule is mediated by apical entry of Na+, primarily via Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), and basolateral extrusion via the Na+ pump (Na+-K+-ATPase). We hypothesized that regulation of Na+ reabsorption should involve not only the activity of the basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase, but also the apical NHE3, in a concerted manner. To generate a cell line that overexpresses Na+-K+-ATPase, opossum kidney (OK) cells were transfected with the rodent Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit (pCMV ouabain vector), and native cells were used as a control. The existence of distinct functional classes of Na+-K+-ATPase in wild-type and transfected cells was confirmed by the inhibition profile of Na+-K+-ATPase activity by ouabain. In contrast to wild-type cells, transfected cells exhibited two IC50 values for ouabain: the first value was similar to the IC50 of control cells, and the second value was 2 log units greater than the first, consistent with the presence of rat and opossum α1-isozymes. It is shown that transfection of OK cells with Na+-K+-ATPase increased Na+-K+-ATPase and NHE3 activities. This was associated with overexpression of the Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit and NHE3 in transfected OK cells. The abundance of the Na+-K+-ATPase β1-subunit was slightly lower in transfected OK cells. In conclusion, the increase in expression and function of Na+-K+-ATPase in cells transfected with the rodent Na+ pump α1-subunit cDNA is expected to stimulate apical Na+ influx into the cells, thereby accounting for the observed stimulation of the apical NHE3 activity.

The ontogeny of intestinal phosphate transport was examined in brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from 2-wk, 4-wk, 6-wk, and 3-mo-old rabbits. At all four ages, vesicles prepared from the duodenum demonstrated sodium-phosphate cotransport in that uptake in the presence of a sodium gradient was significantly greater than uptake in the presence of a potassium gradient. While sodium-independent phosphate uptake was comparable at all ages, sodium-phosphate cotransport was greatest in the youngest animals and declined with increasing age. Peak phosphate uptake was 10-fold the equilibrium value at 2 wk and declined to 3-fold in adults. Maximal transport capacity of sodium-phosphate cotransport fell from 2,292 +/- 161 at 2 wk to 286 +/- 12 pmol.mg-1.10 s-1 at 3 mo, whereas the Michaelis constant did not change with age, varying between 0.032 and 0.054 mM. At all ages, uptake was half-maximally stimulated between 30 and 50 mM sodium, and Hill coefficients were between 1.5 and 2. Generation of inside negative diffusion potentials did not significantly enhance phosphate uptake at any age. These data suggest that throughout development, the transport of each phosphate molecule across the rabbit duodenal brush-border membrane is coupled to the transport of two sodium molecules. There were distinct developmental changes in the distribution of the sodium-phosphate cotransport along the length of intestine. In 2-wk old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was present in the duodenum, proximal and distal jejunum, and proximal ileum. In 4-wk-old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was present throughout the duodenum and proximal and distal jejunum, and in 6-wk and 12-wk-old animals, sodium-phosphate cotransport was observed only in the duodenum and proximal jejunum.
