Using quantitative cytochemistry, activities of Na, K-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-keto-glutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KDH) was investigated in cells of renal tubules at different levels of sodium reabsorption in the kidney. The activity of these enzymes in mammals and birds renal tubule cells was found to be higher than in the cells of corresponding renal tubules of cold-blooded vertebrates. This corresponds to the increased total amount of reabsorbed sodium in the kidney of warm-blooded animals. The summer frogs, as compared to the winter ones, exhibit higher activities of SDH and Na,K-ATPase in the proximal tubule cells where changes in sodium reabsorption are also noted. In the kidney of marine teleosts, a negative correlation between U/PNa and the activity of SDH and Na,K-ATPase in the cells of proximal and distal tubule was observed. Aldosterone was found to stimulate sodium reabsorption and to activate Na,K-ATPase.SDH and alpha-KDH mainly in the distal convoluted tubule. Furosemide was observed to inhibit sodium reabsorption and to reduce SDH and Na,K-ATPase activities in cells of the proximal tubule and Henle's loop. In the kidney of adrenalectomized rats, both sodium reabsorption and activities of Na,K-ATPase, SDH, alpha-KDH decreased in all the segments of the nephron. The data obtained suggest that changes in sodium reabsorption may be coupled with those in the activities of the investigated enzymes.

Acute renal failure was induced in male rats by the subcutaneous injectioon of 4 mg HgC12 per kg body weight. Enzyme activities of the proximal tubule were studied histochemically at six time intervals from 15 min to 24 h. The enzyme studied were alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (NAD-independent), malic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, latic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase. Decreases in activity were observed for alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase after 15 min. Acid phosphatase was decreased after 30 min. These three enzymes returned to control levels after 3 h, but malic dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were decreased at this time interval. Succinic dehydrogenase was first decreased after 6 h. The earliest morphological changes detectable by light microscopy were observed in pars recta tubules in the medullary rays after 6 h, a time when all enzymes studied showed widespread decreased activity throughout the proximal tubule. After 24 h, the pars convoluta appeared morphologically normal but the pars recta was necrotic and exhibited calcification, whereas enzyme activity was decreased (absent in some cases) in both pars convoluta and pars recta. These results support the hypothesis that Hg++, when given in a sublethal dose, is associated with early histochemical changes in the brush border of the proximal tubule, which may be related to early changes in sodium reabsorption and to the subsequent development of acute renal failure. The observation that changes in plasma membrane-associated enzymes occur early and prior to alterations in enzymes of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum suggests that Hg++ interacts initially with the plasma membrane.

Circulatory insufficiency in rats was induced by constriction of the thoracic portion of vena cava inferior. Two-three days after the operation renal function was studied and the activity of succinate dehydrogenase and Na+K+-ATPase in the cells of the renal tubules was determined cytochemically. On infusion of 0.9% NaCl solution into the stomach, the filtration in the "caval" rats did not change whereas the excretion of sodium and its concentration in the urine were much lower than in the sham operated rats. At the same time, the activity of Na+K+-ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase in the "caval" rats increased in the cells of the proximal tubule, diminished in Henle's loop, and remained unchanged in the cells of the distal convoluted tubule. Comparison of the results of functional and cytochemical study of the kidneys in caval rats allows the conclusion that intensified proximal reabsorption may be the main cause of antinatriuresis in these animals. The lesser load experienced by the distal segment promotes fuller reabsorption of sodium in this part of the nephron too.

Mycotoxic porcine nephropathy was induced by p.o. administration of crystalline ochratoxin A for periods of 5 days, 3 months and 2 years. Enzyme activities of the renal tissue were studied histochemically. These were NADH-tetrazolium reductase, NADPH-tetrazolium reductase, lactate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, unspecific acid phosphatase and unspecific alkaline phosphatase. The activity of NADH-tetrazolium reductase and succinate dehydrogenase was reduced in the proximal tubule of all nephrons after 5 days ochratoxin A exposure and remained reduced after 3 months and 2 years exposure. The effect of ochratoxin A on these enzymes would appear to cause the impairment of proximal tubular function and the morphological changes observed in the proximal tubule in ochratoxin A-induced mycotoxic porcine nephropathy. The localization of alterations in enzyme activity corresponds to the localization of ochratoxin A previously demonstrated in the kidney. The activities of NADPH-tetrazolium reductase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and unspecific alkaline phosphatase were reduced focally corresponding to the areas with focal tubular atrophy and the degree of reduction was roughly parallel to the degree of atrophy.

In the normal rat kidney enzyme histochemical activity was correlated with the structural segmentation of the convoluted part of the proximal tubule, as seen in freeze-dried sections. Serial sections were employed for alternate morphological and enzyme histochemical studies. The tubules were investigated for activity of the following enzymes: 1) non-specific acid phosphatases, 2) non-specific alkaline phosphatases, 3) succinate dehydrogenase and 4) non-specific esterases. Close to the urinary pole acid phosphatase activity was slight in all instances, whilst in the first and second segment a gradual increase in tubular cells with heavy enzyme activity was seen. All tubular cells at the urinary pole showed heavy alkaline phosphatase activity, but there was a gradual increase of cells showing slight enzyme activity in the first and second segments. Succinate dehydrogenase activity was constantly heavy at the urinary pole, and there was a gradual decrease in these cells with heavy enzyme activity along the course of the first and second segments. The pattern of tubular enzyme activity for these three enzymes was independent of the nephron level in the renal cortex. The non-specific esterase activity was, in comparison, uniform throughout the length of the proximal tubule in nephrons from all levels of the renal cortex. This combined enzyme histochemical and morphological investigation demonstrates conclusively that there is a close correlation between structural segmentation and the pattern of enzyme activity of non-specific acid and alkaline phosphatases and succinate dehydrogenase in the proximal convoluted tubule of normal rat kidney.

Na-coupled D-glucose transport in rabbits with cis-diamminedichloride platinum (CDDP; cisplatin) induced acute renal failure (ARF) has been studied. ARF occurred at 3 days after injection of CDDP (3 mg/kg i.v.). Na-coupled D-glucose transport into brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from both outer cortex (OC) and outer medulla (OM) of ARF rabbits under zero-trans condition was decreased. Increased Km (i.e., decreased affinity of transport carrier for D-glucose) in OC and decreased Vmax (i.e., decreased number of glucose carrier) in OM were observed in CDDP-induced ARF rabbits. Decrease glucose transport was also observed under equilibrium exchange condition. Intravesicular volume of BBMV from OC and OM of ARF rabbits was decreased. In homogenate and BBMV from OC and OM of ARF rabbits, activities of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase (marker enzymes of brush-border membrane) were decreased. Activities of succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and Na-K ATPase (marker enzymes of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and basal lateral membrane, respectively) were not affected by CDDP administration. These results suggested that one of the main target sites of CDDP in kidney is brush-border membrane (BBM) along the proximal tubule, that is, not only Na-coupled D-glucose transport carrier protein but also other proteins in BBM.

Freshly isolated rabbit proximal tubules (PT), confluent primary rabbit proximal tubule cultures (PTC) and LLC-PK1 cells were characterised. Brushborder enzyme activities were lower in PTC than in LLC-PK1: ratios were 0.026 for alkaline phosphatase (AP), 0.458 for alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and 0.514 for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). PT/PTC ratios were 79.7 for AP, 7.96 for AAP and 3.45 for GGT. Specific activities of hexokinase (HK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were high in cultured cells as compared to PT: PT/PTC ratios were 0.063 and 0.033, while PTC/LLC-PK1 ratios were 0.406 and 1.19 for HK and LDH respectively. PTC/LLC-PK1 ratios were 2.21 for Na/K ATPase, 2.07 for succinate dehydrogenase, 1.12 for cathepsin B, 0.607 for N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and 8.98 for glutathione-S-transferase. Adenylate cyclase response to parathormone (PTH), was similar in PTC and PT, but stimulated/basal ratios were higher in PT than in PTC. LLC-PK1 cells were stimulated by thyrocalcitonin (SCT), arginin-vasopressin (AVP) and PTH; stimulated/basal ratios ranked AVP greater than PTH greater than SCT. Differences between both types of cultures affect the choice of in vitro model for nephrotoxicity studies.

Rat kidney was studied histochemically and in electron microscope during administration of lithium carbonate for 14 days in doses of 4 mmol/l. Morphological examination demonstrated signs of damage exclusively to the epithelial cells in the proximal tubule. Histochemical examination demonstrated a major reduction of the reactions for succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase. No difference was found in the intensity of the reaction for alkaline phosphatase and Ca-ATPase during lithium treatment as compared to controls. Additional observation demonstrated, only in histological examination, an increased number of cells of the macula densa.

Two types of mitochondria-rich (MR) cells have been identified in the rabbit collecting tubule based on differences in immuno- and lectin cytochemistry. We have produced a monoclonal antibody, immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 (mr-mct), that reacts specifically with the MR cells (identified by positive histochemical staining for succinate dehydrogenase) found predominantly in the outer medulla (OM) and cells of the proximal tubule. IgG1 (mr-mct) reacted with 18 +/- 2% of the cells of the outer medullary collecting tubule (OMCT) and did not colocalize with peanut lectin-binding MR cells in the cortex. To isolate MR-OMCT cells, collecting tubule cells from collagenase dispersions of the OM were first adsorbed onto plates treated with a monoclonal antibody reactive against all of the OMCT cells. Of the isolated OMCT cells, 17% reacted with IgG1 (mr-mct). Cells were then detached from the plate and transferred to plates coated with IgG1. Greater than 70% of the adsorbed cells were MR as determined by positive staining with IgG1 (mr-mct). This enrichment of MR-OMCT cells was associated with a severalfold increase in adenosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production in response to isoproterenol and an attenuated increase in cAMP production to vasopressin. In summary, we report the isolation of highly enriched populations of MR cells from the OM using two-stage solid-phase immunoadsorption. This approach should provide a useful and convenient method for further investigations of the physiological role of these poorly understood tubular cells.

Enzyme histochemical techniques were utilized to examine the progression and extent of proximal tubular injury during the development of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP)-induced acute renal failure. Acute renal failure was induced in male rats by the intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg CDDP/kg body weight. At 6, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr following treatment, renal function was assessed and tissue was collected for renal morphologic and enzyme histochemical studies. The enzymes examined were gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, sodium-potassium ATPase (nitrophenyl phosphatase), acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and lactic dehydrogenase. By 24 hr, the activity of acid phosphatase was reduced throughout the proximal tubule, with the greatest decrease occurring in the P3 segment of the proximal tubule located in the outer stripe of the outer medulla. Changes in the histochemical staining of the remaining enzymes were not consistently observed until 48 or, in some cases, 72 hr. These alterations involved all portions of the proximal tubule with the most severe changes involving P3. The results of the enzyme histochemical studies along with the morphologic findings indicating that the initiation of CDDP-induced acute renal failure, first apparent at 48 hr in this model, is associated with cell injury throughout the proximal tubule. The majority of the histochemical changes did not become apparent until late in the course of tubular injury. This suggests that most of the changes in enzyme activity represent nonspecific effects of CDDP-induced tubular injury, as opposed to direct enzyme inhibition by the drug.
