The imposition of a Na+ gradient (extravesicular greater than intravesicular) stimulated the uptake of [3H]glycine measured over time in basolateral membrane vesicles from dog kidney over that measured in the presence of a choline+ gradient or measured under Na+-equilibrated conditions. Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of [3H]glycine was stimulated by an intravesicular-negative membrane potential. Efflux of [3H]glycine was enhanced by an intravesicular-positive membrane potential. Substrate velocity analysis of net Na+-dependent [3H]glycine uptake over the range of amino acid concentrations from 10 to 500 microM demonstrated a single saturable transport system with apparent Km = 84 microM and apparent Vmax = 143 pmol [3H]glycine X mg protein-1 X 15 s-1. Counterflow of [3H]glycine was demonstrated in the presence of Na+ when basolateral vesicles were preloaded with glycine but not with L-alanine or L-proline. These findings are consistent with carrier-mediated, electrogenic cotransport of Na+ and glycine in basolateral vesicles. Unlike the case for [3H]glycine, Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of neither L-[3H]alanine nor L-[3H]proline was observed in basolateral vesicles. Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of all three amino acids was demonstrated in brush border vesicles from the dog kidney. We conclude that variability exists between basolateral and brush border membranes in terms of the presence or absence of Na+-dependent transport systems for specific amino acids. This variability probably reflects differences between the functional significances of the Na+-dependent transport processes in the two membranes.

Rat Proximal Tubule

The transport of urate in the mammalian nephron is largely confined to the proximal tubule. Depending on the species, net reabsorption or net secretion is observed. The rat, like the human and the mongrel dog, demonstrates net reabsorption of urate and has been the most extensively studied species. The unidirectional reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule occur via a passive and presumably paracellular route and by a mediated transcellular route. The reabsorption of urate, and possibly its secretion, can occur against an electrochemical gradient. A variety of drugs and other compounds affect the reabsorption and secretion of urate. The effects of these agents depend on their site of application (luminal or blood), concentration, and occasionally their participation in transport processes that do not have affinity for urate. Recent studies with renal brush border and basolateral membrane vesicles from the rat and brush border vesicles from the dog have determined the mechanisms for urate transport across the luminal and antiluminal membranes of the proximal tubule cell. Brush border membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate, hydroxyl ion, bicarbonate, chloride, lactate, p-aminohippurate (PAH), and a variety of other organic anions. Basolateral membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate and chloride but not for PAH. Both membrane vesicle preparations also permit urate translocation by simple diffusion. A model for the transcellular reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule is proposed. This model is based on the vesicle studies, and it can potentially explain the majority of urate transport data obtained with in vivo techniques.

To ascertain whether Na+ gradient-stimulated 32Pi uptake was demonstrable in renal basolateral membrane vesicles, we measured 32Pi uptake in basolateral membrane suspensions isolated from canine renal cortex and compared solute uptake in basolateral suspensions with that measured in brush border suspensions. Measurements revealed Na+ gradient-dependent 32Pi transport in basolateral preparations. D-[3H] Glucose uptakes in basolateral suspensions were not stimulated by the Na+ gradient in contrast to findings in brush border suspensions. Na+ gradient-dependent 32Pi transport in basolateral suspensions was electrogenic in contrast to that measured in brush border preparations. Unlike 32Pi uptake in brush border preparations, Na+ gradient-dependent 32Pi uptake in basolateral suspensions did not increase as extravesicular pH was increased from 6.5 to 7.5. Na+ gradient-dependent 32Pi uptake in basolateral membranes showed saturation over the range of [Pi] from 5 to 100 microM (apparent Km, 14 +/- 2 microM; apparent Vmax, 34 +/- 2 pmol Pi X mg protein-1 X 30s-1). Our findings are compatible with the presence of an electrogenic Na+-Pi cotransporter in the canine proximal tubular basolateral membrane.

Overshoot Phenomenon

The transport of uridine into rabbit renal outer-cortical brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles was compared at 22 degrees C. Uridine was taken up into an osmotically active space in the absence of metabolism for both types of membrane vesicles. Uridine influx by brush-border membrane vesicles was stimulated by Na+, and in the presence of inwardly directed gradients of Na+ a transient overshoot phenomenon was observed, indicating active transport. Kinetic analysis of the saturable Na+-dependent component of uridine flux indicated that it was consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km 12 +/- 3 microM, Vmax. 3.9 +/- 0.9 pmol/s per mg of protein). The sodium:uridine coupling stoichiometry was found to be consistent with 1:1 and involved the net transfer of positive charge. In contrast, uridine influx by basolateral membrane vesicles was not dependent on the cation present and was inhibited by nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR). NBMPR-sensitive uridine transport was saturable (Km 137 +/- 20 microM, Vmax. 5.2 +/- 0.6 pmol/s per mg of protein). Inhibition of uridine flux by NBMPR was associated with high-affinity binding of NBMPR to the basolateral membrane (Kd 0.74 +/- 0.46 nM). Binding of NBMPR to these sites was competitively blocked by adenosine and uridine. These results indicate that uridine crosses the brush-border surface of rabbit proximal renal tubule cells by Na+-dependent pathways, but permeates the basolateral surface by NBMPR-sensitive facilitated-diffusion carriers.

To define the mechanism by which glucose is transported across the basolateral membrane of the renal proximal tubular cell, we measured D-[14C]glucose uptake in basolateral membrane vesicles from rabbit kidney. Na+-dependent D-glucose transport, demonstrable in brush-border vesicles, could not be demonstrated in basolateral membrane vesicles. In the absence of Na+, the uptake of D-[14C]glucose in basolateral vesicles was more rapid than that of L-[3H]glucose over a concentration range of 1-50 mM. Subtraction of the latter from the former uptakes revealed a saturable process with apparent Km of 9.9 mM and Vmax of 0.80 nmol.mg protein-1.s-1. To characterize the transport component of D-glucose uptake in basolateral vesicles, we measured trans stimulation of 2 mM D-[14C]glucose entry in the absence of Na+. Trans stimulation could be effected by preloading basolateral vesicles with D-glucose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, but not with L-glucose or alpha-methyl-D-glucoside. Trans-stimulated D-[14C]glucose uptake was inhibited by 0.1 mM phloretin or cytochalasin B but not phlorizin. In contrast, Na+-dependent D-[14C]glucose transport in brush-border vesicles was inhibited by phlorizin but not phloretin or cytochalasin B. Our findings are consistent with the presence of a Na+-independent D-glucose transporter in the proximal tubular basolateral membrane with characteristics similar to those of transporters present in nonepithelial cells.

We have studied the expression of Na+-d-glucose cotransporter in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) of chicken enterocytes to correlate the changes in the apical Na+-dependent transport with the changes in the amounts of transporter determined by Western blot analysis. Two different rabbit polyclonal antibodies were used simultaneously. The antibody raised against amino acids 564–575 of the deduced amino acid sequence of rabbit intestinal SGLT-1 ( antibody 1) specifically detects a single 75-kDa band in the three segments, and this band disappeared when the antibody was preabsorbed with the antigenic peptide. The antibody raised against the synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 402–420 of the same protein ( antibody 2) only reacts with jejunal and ileal samples, but no signal is found in BBMVs of rectum. Only when antibody 1 was used was there a linear correlation between the maximal transport rates of hexoses in BBMVs and the relative protein amounts determined by Western blot. These results indicate that the Na+-d-glucose cotransport in the jejunum, the ileum, and the rectum of chickens is due to an SGLT-1 type protein.

The mechanism for the cellular extrusion of organic anions across the intestinal basolateral membrane was examined using isolated membrane vesicles from rat jejunum, ileum, and colon. It was found that 17β-estradiol 17β-d-glucuronide (E217βG) is taken up in an ATP-dependent manner into the basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMVs) but not into the brush-border or microsomal counterparts. The ATP-dependent uptake of E217βG into BLMVs from jejunum and ileum was described by a single component with a Km value of 23.5 and 8.31 μM, respectively, whereas that into the BLMVs from colon was described by assuming the presence of high ( Km = 0.82 μM)- and low-affinity ( Km = 35.4 μM) components. Taurocholate, 6-hydroxy-5,7-dimethyl-2-methylamino-4-(3-pyridylmethyl) benzothiazole glucuronide and taurolithocholate sulfate, but not leukotriene C4, were significantly taken up by the BLMVs. In addition to such substrate specificity, the inhibitor sensitivity of the ATP-dependent transport in BLMVs was similar to that of rat multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (Mrp3), which is located on the basolateral membrane of enterocytes. Together with the fact that the rank order of the extent of the expression of Mrp3 (jejunum < ileum << colon) is in parallel with that of the extent of the transport of ligands, these results suggest that the ATP-dependent uptake of organic anions into isolated intestinal BLMVs is at least partly mediated by Mrp3.
