Membrane-bound luminal carbonic anhydrase (CA) IV, by catalyzing the dehydration of carbonic acid into CO2 plus water, facilitates H+ secretion in the renal outer medullary collecting duct from the inner stripe (OMCDi). To examine the role of CA IV on H+ secretion, we measured net [Formula: see text] transport in perfused OMCDi segments and examined the effect on transport of two extracellular CA inhibitors, benzolamide and F-3500, aminobenzolamide coupled to a nontoxic polymer, polyoxyethylene bis(acetic acid) [synthesized and kindly provided by C. Conroy and T. Maren (C. W. Conroy, G. C. Wynns, and T. H. Maren. Bioorg. Chem. 24: 262–272, 1996)]. These agents would inhibit only the luminal CA enzyme. Dose titration curves for net[Formula: see text] flux were performed for each drug. Basal [Formula: see text] absorptive flux was 12 pmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mm−1in control segments and significantly increased to 16 pmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mm−1in segments from 3-day acid-treated animals. The concentrations of benzolamide and F-3500 that inhibited[Formula: see text] absorption by 50% were ∼0.1 and ∼5 μM, similar to the K i for CA IV inhibition by these agents (0.2 and 4.0 μM, respectively; T. Maren, C. W. Conroy, G. C. Wynns, and D. R. Godman. J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 280: 98–104, 1997). Adding exogenous CA to the inhibitor in the perfusate nearly restored basal [Formula: see text] transport, suggesting that cytosolic CA II was not inhibited by these impermeant inhibitors. In OMCDi segments from acidotic rabbits, the concentrations of benzolamide and F-3500 that inhibited[Formula: see text] absorption by 50% were 50 and 500 μM, respectively, >100 times the K i for CA IV inhibition and for inhibition of [Formula: see text]transport in control tubules. Thus, in the OMCDi, doses of extracellular CA inhibitors that inhibited ∼50% of CA IV activity also comparably inhibited [Formula: see text] transport, indicating that H+ secretion depends in part on the availability of luminal CA IV activity. Acidosis substantially decreased the sensitivity of [Formula: see text]transport to CA inhibition.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IV is a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of carbonic acid to CO2 and water. Using peptides from each end of the deduced rabbit CA IV amino acid sequence, we generated a goat anti-rabbit CA IV antibody, which was used for immunoblotting and immunohistochemical analysis. CA IV was expressed in a variety of organs including spleen, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, colon, and kidney. Rabbit kidney CA IV had two N-glycosylation sites and was sialated, the apparent molecular mass increasing by at least 11 to ∼45 kDa in the cortex. Medullary CA IV was much more heavily glycosylated than CA IV from cortex or any other organ, such modifications increasing the molecular mass by at least 20 kDa. CA IV was expressed on the apical and basolateral membranes of proximal tubules with expression levels on the order of S2 > S1 > S3 = 0. Because CA IV is believed to be anchored to the apical membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol, the presence of basolateral CA IV suggests an alternative mechanism. CA IV was localized on the apical membranes of outer medullary collecting duct cells of the inner stripe and inner medullary collecting duct cells, as well as on α-intercalated cells. However, CA IV was not expressed by β-intercalated cells, glomeruli, distal tubule, or Henle's loop cells. Thus CA IV was expressed by H+-secreting cells of the rabbit kidney, suggesting an important role for CA IV in urinary acidification.

The Relationship

We measured bicarbonate, ammonia, and luminal pH in segments of the rabbit outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) to determine the relationship between luminal pH and ammonia transport. Both the inner-stripe and outer-stripe portions of the OMCD absorbed bicarbonate at high rates. The outer stripe OMCD generated an acidic pH disequilibrium that was reversibly dissipated by exogenous luminal carbonic anhydrase. In contrast, the inner stripe OMCD did not generate a spontaneous pH disequilibrium unless perfused with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide. Ammonia secretion was three times more rapid in the outer stripe OMCD than in the inner stripe OMCD. We conclude the following. 1) Both the inner-stripe and outer-stripe portions of the rabbit OMCD secrete protons at substantial rates. 2) Functional luminal carbonic anhydrase is present in the inner stripe OMCD but absent from the outer stripe OMCD. 3) Ammonia secretion occurs predominantly by NH3, diffusion in both portions. 4) The luminal pH disequilibrium, which is normally present in the outer stripe OMCD, enhances ammonia secretion. ammonia; ammonium; bicarbonate; diffusion trapping; nonionic diffusion; carbonic anhydrase; disequilibrium pH; fluorescence spectroscopy; hydrogen ion secretion; carbonic acid; acetazolamide; heterogeneity Submitted on September 15, 1986 Accepted on January 15, 1987

Osmotic reabsorption of water through aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the inner medulla is largely dependent on the urea concentration gradients generated by urea transporter (UT) isoforms. Vasopressin (AVP) increases expression of both AQP2 and UT-A isoforms. Activation of the P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2-R) in the medullary collecting duct inhibits AVP-induced water flow. To gain further insights into the overarching effect of purinergic signaling on urinary concentration, we compared the protein abundances of AQP2 and UT-A isoforms between P2Y2-R knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice under basal conditions and following AVP administration. Under basal conditions (a gel diet for 10 days), KO mice concentrated urine to a significantly higher degree, with 1.8-, 1.66-, and 1.29-fold higher protein abundances of AQP2, UT-A1, and UT-A2, respectively, compared with WT, despite comparable circulating AVP levels in both groups. Infusion of 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP; desmopressin; 1 ng/h sc) for 5 days resulted in 2.14-, 2.6-, and 2.22-fold higher protein abundances of AQP2, AQP3, and UT-A1, respectively, in the inner medullas of KO mice compared with WT mice. In response to acute (45 min) stimulation by AVP (0.2 unit/mouse sc), UT-A1 protein increased by 1.39- and 1.54-fold in WT and KO mice, respectively. These data suggest that genetic deletion of P2Y2-R results in increased abundances of key proteins involved in urinary concentration in the inner medulla, both under basal conditions and following AVP administration. Thus purinergic regulation may play a potential overarching role in balancing the effect of AVP on the urinary concentration mechanism.

The trafficking of H+-ATPase vesicles to the apical membrane of inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells utilizes a mechanism similar to that described in neurosecretory cells involving soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein target receptor (SNARE) proteins. Regulated exocytosis of these vesicles is associated with the formation of SNARE complexes. Clostridial neurotoxins that specifically cleave the target (t-) SNARE, syntaxin-1, or the vesicle SNARE, vesicle-associated membrane protein-2, reduce SNARE complex formation, H+-ATPase translocation to the apical membrane, and inhibit H+ secretion. The purpose of these experiments was to characterize the physiological role of a second t-SNARE, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP)-23, a homologue of the neuronal SNAP-25, in regulated exocytosis of H+-ATPase vesicles. Our experiments document that 25–50 nM botulinum toxin (Bot) A or E cleaves rat SNAP-23 and thereby reduces immunodetectable and35S-labeled SNAP-23 by >60% within 60 min. Addition of 25 nM BotE to IMCD homogenates reduces the amount of the 20 S-like SNARE complex that can be immunoprecipitated from the homogenate. Treatment of intact IMCD monolayers with BotE reduces the amount of H+-ATPase translocated to the apical membrane by 52 ± 2% of control and reduces the rate of H+ secretion by 77 ± 3% after acute cell acidification. We conclude that SNAP-23 is a substrate for botulinum toxin proteolysis and has a critical role in the regulation of H+-ATPase exocytosis and H+ secretion in these renal epithelial cells.

Urine is an abundant source of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and prepro-EGF has been localized to the thick ascending limb and distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. However, the functional role of EGF in the kidney is poorly understood. Determination of EGF receptors and functional responses to EGF in intrarenal structures distal to the site of renal EGF production may prove critical to our understanding of the role of this peptide. These studies were designed to investigate the response to EGF of rat inner medullary collecting duct cells in culture and in freshly isolated suspensions. Primary cultures of inner medullary collecting duct cells demonstrated equilibrium binding of 125I-labeled EGF at 4 and 23 degrees C. At 23 degrees C, there was 89 +/- 1% specific binding (n = 30). Scatchard analysis of 125I-EGF binding suggested the presence of both high-affinity binding with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 5 X 10(-10) M and maximal binding sites (Ro) of 2.7 X 10(3) binding sites/cell and low-affinity binding, with Kd of 8.3 X 10(-9) M and Ro of 1.8 X 10(4) binding sites/cell. Bound EGF, 68 +/- 3%, was internalized by 45 min. EGF binding was not inhibited by antidiuretic hormone, atrial natriuretic peptide or bradykinin at 23 degrees C, but there was concentration-dependent inhibition of binding by transforming growth factor-alpha. Incubation with phorbol myristate acetate decreased 125I-EGF binding in a concentration-dependent manner. 125I-EGF binding was also demonstrated in freshly isolated suspensions of rat inner medullary collecting duct cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hypertonicity increases water permeability, independently of vasopressin, in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) by increasing aquaporin-2 (AQP2) membrane accumulation. We investigated whether protein kinase C (PKC) and adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) are involved in hypertonicity-regulated water permeability. Increasing perfusate osmolality from 150 to 290 mosmol/kgH2O and bath osmolality from 290 to 430 mosmol/kgH2O significantly stimulated osmotic water permeability. The PKC inhibitors chelerythrine (10 µM) and rottlerin (50 µM) significantly reversed the increase in osmotic water permeability stimulated by hypertonicity in perfused rat terminal IMCDs. Chelerythrine significantly increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S261 but not at S256. Previous studies show that AMPK is stimulated by osmotic stress. We tested AMPK phosphorylation under hypertonic conditions. Hypertonicity significantly increased AMPK phosphorylation in inner medullary tissues. Blockade of AMPK with Compound C decreased hypertonicity-stimulated water permeability but did not alter phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256 and S261. AICAR, an AMPK stimulator, caused a transient increase in osmotic water permeability and increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256. When inner medullary tissue was treated with the PKC activator phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), the AMPK activator metformin, or both, AQP2 phosphorylation at S261 was decreased with PDBu or metformin alone, but there was no additive effect on phosphorylation with PDBu and metformin together. In conclusion, hypertonicity regulates water reabsorption by activating PKC. Hypertonicity-stimulated water reabsorption by PKC may be related to the decrease in endocytosis of AQP2. AMPK activation promotes water reabsorption, but the mechanism remains to be determined. PKC and AMPK do not appear to act synergistically to regulate water reabsorption.

AbstractAcidosis is associated with E. coli induced pyelonephritis but whether bacterial cell wall constituents inhibit HCO3 transport in the outer medullary collecting duct from the inner stripe (OMCDi) is not known. We examined the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), on HCO3 absorption in isolated perfused rabbit OMCDi. LPS caused a ~ 40% decrease in HCO3 absorption, providing a mechanism for E. coli pyelonephritis-induced acidosis. Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), a detoxified TLR4 agonist, and Wortmannin, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, prevented the LPS-mediated decrease, demonstrating the role of TLR4-PI3-kinase signaling and providing proof-of-concept for therapeutic interventions aimed at ameliorating OMCDi dysfunction and pyelonephritis-induced acidosis.

Exogenous endothelin-1 (ET-1) inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Since ET-1 is produced by, and binds to specific receptors on, the IMCD, the possibility exists that ET-1 is an autocrine regulator of AVP action in this nephron segment. To test this hypothesis, rat IMCD cells grown on semipermeable membranes were exposed to rabbit anti-ET antisera or nonimmune rabbit sera (NRS). AVP (10(-9)M) caused a significantly greater accumulation of cAMP in confluent IMCD monolayers preincubated in ET-1 antisera compared with NRS. ET-1 (10(-8) M) inhibited the AVP-induced rise in cAMP by 65% in cells preincubated in ET-1 antisera, but had no effect in NRS-treated cells. Finally, 125I-ET-1 (30 pM) binding was increased sixfold in IMCD preincubated in anti-ET-1 antisera. These data indicate that ET causes tonic autocrine inhibition of AVP responsiveness in the IMCD.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) facilitates renal bicarbonate reabsorption and acid excretion. Cytosolic CA II catalyzes the buffering of intracellular hydroxyl ions by CO2, whereas membrane-bound CA IV catalyzes the dehydration of carbonic acid generated from the secretion of protons. Although CA II and IV are expressed in rabbit kidney, it is not entirely clear which segments express which isoforms. It was the purpose of this study to characterize the expression of CA II and CA IV mRNAs by specific segments of the nephron using semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and to determine the effect of chronic metabolic acidosis on CA expression by those segments. Individual nephron segments (usually 1–2 mm) were isolated by microdissection and subjected to RT-PCR. Amplification was performed simultaneously for CA IV, CA II, and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), a housekeeping gene. The intensities of the PCR products were quantitated by densitometry. CA IV mRNA was expressed by S1 and S2 proximal tubules and by outer medullary collecting duct from inner stripe (OMCDi) and outer stripe and initial inner medullary collecting duct (IMCDi). CA II mRNA was expressed by S1, S2, and S3 proximal tubules, thin descending limb, connecting segment (CNT), and all collecting duct segments. Acid loading induced CA IV mRNA expression in S1 and S2 proximal tubules and in OMCDi and IMCDi. CA II mRNA was induced by acidosis in all three proximal segments and nearly all distal segments beginning with CNT. No upregulation of MDH mRNA expression occurred. These adaptive increases in CA II and IV mRNAs are potentially important in the kidney’s adaptation to chronic metabolic acidosis.
