The present study was designed to quantitate the amount and to map the localization of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity in microdissected segments of the rat nephron. After complete nephron mapping the effect of chronic metabolic acidosis and alkalosis on enzyme activity was determined. In control animals the highest enzyme activity was found in the early proximal convoluted tubule of juxtamedullary nephrons; superficial early proximal tubule as well as medullary and cortical thick ascending limbs and collecting ducts also contained substantial activity. Enzyme activity in the papillary collecting duct before entry into the ducts of Bellini was 329 +/- 93 pmol.mm-1.h-1 (n = 8); after entry, however, enzyme activity was approximately one-fourth that value (60 +/- 9 pmol.mm-1.h-1, n = 8, P less than 0.01). No NEM-sensitive ATPase activity was found in the thin limbs of the loop of Henle. Enzyme activity increased in both the medullary and cortical thick ascending limbs as well as in the cortical collecting tubule in response to NH4Cl-induced chronic metabolic acidosis; in the cortical collecting duct, metabolic acidosis increased maximum activity (Vmax) but did not change Michaelis-Menten constant (Km). In the proximal convoluted tubule, enzyme activity decreased with metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate loading had no effect on enzyme activity except in the most distal portion of the collecting duct where it was stimulated. These results show that NEM-sensitive ATPase activity exists throughout much of the rat nephron. These data suggest that both the cortical collecting tubule and thick ascending limb are regulatory sites of distal urinary acidification during acid loading.

An Na(+)- and HCO3(-)-independent mechanism of cytoplasmic pH (pHi) recovery was previously demonstrated in acid-loaded macrophages (Swallow, C. J., Grinstein, S., and Rotstein, O. D. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 19558-19563). Acid extrusion was found to be ATP-dependent and sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, suggesting involvement of an H(+)-pumping ATPase. In this report, the properties and mode of activation of this putative pump were studied in detail. In acid-loaded cells, pHi recovery, measured using a fluorescent probe, was found to be insensitive to azide or oligomycin, which are inhibitors of F0F1 (mitochondrial) H(+)-ATPases, and to vanadate, an inhibitor of E1E2-type ATPases. Instead, the recovery was sensitive to the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase inhibitors 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid, and bafilomycin A1. Using the fluorescent probes bisoxonol and 3,3'-dipropylthiodicarbocyanide iodide to measure the membrane potential of intact cells, acid loading of macrophages was shown to result in an N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive hyperpolarization of approximately 15 mV. This hyperpolarization was not inhibited by charybdotoxin, suggesting that it was not due to efflux of K+ through Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels, but may instead be due to electrogenic pumping of protons across the plasma membrane. This was consistent with the partial dependence of the Na(+)- and HCO3(-)-independent pHi recovery on the presence of intracellular Cl-. As in vacuolar membranes, Cl- appears to act as a counterion to H+, preserving electroneutrality and thus facilitating pHi recovery. In acid-loaded urinary epithelial cells, activation of H+ pumping occurs by exocytic insertion of intracellular (vacuolar) H(+)-ATPases into the plasma membrane. In this system, exocytosis is triggered by an associated increase in the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and is microtubule-dependent. We determined whether an analogous process exists in macrophages. Acid loading of macrophages induced an approximately 120 nM increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration due to mobilization of Ca2+ from an intracellular source. However, preventing this increase by preloading macrophages with bis(O-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid did not inhibit the Na+ and HCO3(-)-independent pHi recovery, neither was the recovery inhibited by microtubular disruption using 0.1 mM colchicine. Furthermore, cytoplasmic acid loading did not cause a detectable release of secretory granular, endosomal, or lysosomal contents, suggesting that activation of H+ pumping at the cell surface is not mediated by exocytic fusion of these compartments with the plasma membrane. Taken together, these data suggest that H(+)-ATPases are constitutively present in the macrophage plasma membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) and Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase and Mg2(+)-dependent, HCO3(-)-stimulated ATPase (Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase) activities in rat duodenal mucosa and kidney cortex were examined with respect to thyroidal status. Administration of 50 and 150 micrograms thyroxine (T4)/kg per day s.c. for 7 days decreased duodenal cytosol CA activity to 66% of control with the former and 43% with the latter dose, while Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase activity in brush borders of duodenal mucosa was increased to 116% of control by 150 micrograms T4/kg. CA and Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase activities in the cytosol and brush border of kidney cortex did not change after administration of T4. Hypothyroidism induced by thyroidectomy for 2 and 4 weeks or administration of methimazole (2.5-20 mg/kg per day s.c. or peroral) for 2, 3 and 4 weeks all increased duodenal cytosol CA activity, to about 140% at 2 weeks and 153% at 4 weeks after thyroidectomy, and to about 136% after the oral administration of 10 mg methimazole/kg per day for 4 weeks, while brush border Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase activity was decreased to 56% of control 4 weeks after thyroidectomy and to 74% after the s.c. administration of 20 mg methimazole/kg day for 3 weeks. The increase in CA activity and the decrease in ATPase activity after thyroidectomy were restored to normal levels by replacement with T4. Neither enzyme activity in the kidney changed in hypothyroidism. Serum concentrations of T4 and cortisol-like material increased after administration of T4, and serum concentrations of T4, aldosterone and cortisol-like material all decreased in hypothyroidism. Correlations were observed between duodenal CA and Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase activities and serum concentrations of T4 (P less than 0.01). These results reveal that the decrease in CA activity and the increase in Mg2(+)-HCO3(-)-ATPase activity of duodenal mucosa in hyperthyroidism are reversed in hypothyroidism, while both enzyme activities in the kidney are unrelated to thyroidal status.

We have previously shown that cytoplasmic pH (pHi) recovery in pulmonary macrophages, under nominally HCO3(-)-free conditions, after acute intracellular acidification is Na+ and amiloride insensitive and is blocked by nonspecific proton adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) inhibitors N-ethyl-maleimide and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide [Am. J. Physiol. 257 (Cell. Physiol. 26): C65-C76, 1989]. To further delineate the mechanism of H+ extrusion across plasma membranes of pulmonary macrophages, we investigated the effects of metabolic inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis on cellular ATP content and pHi recovery from an intracellular acid load under nominally HCO3(-)-free conditions. Dose-dependent reductions in ATP levels and in the rate of pHi recovery were obtained in the presence of KCN (50% inhibition, 10(-4) M). Parallel reductions in ATP content and the rate of pHi recovery were noted in the presence of antimycin A, rotenone, oligomycin, and iodoacetate. However, inhibition by iodoacetate was reduced in the presence of pyruvate. The more specific vacuolar H(+)-ATPase inhibitors, bafilomycin A1 and 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, resulted in no decrement in cellular ATP levels but significantly inhibited pHi recovery. These studies demonstrate that recovery from an acid load is ATP dependent and provide support for a plasmalemmal proton ATPase, perhaps of the vacuolar type, that participates in regulation of pHi in pulmonary macrophages.

The gradients of the major inorganic ions across the plasma membrane of heart were examined to determine the factors controlling the extent and direction of the changes induced during injury, certain diseases, and electrolyte disturbances. The ionic environment was altered by changing only the concentration of inorganic phosphate, [sigma Pi]o, from 0 to 1.2 to 5 mM in the Krebs-Henseleit buffer perfusing working rat hearts. Raising [sigma Pi]o from 1.2 to 5 mM resulted in a decrease in total Mg2+ content and calculated free cytosolic [Mg2+] from 0.44 to 0.04 mM, conversion of 4 mmol of MgATP2- to ATP4- and a decrease in measured intracellular [Cl-]i from 41 to 16 mM. At all levels of [sigma Pi]o, both the [Na+]i and [K+]i were invariant at about 3 mM and 130 mM, respectively, as was the energy of hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate bond of sigma ATP, delta GATP Hydr, of -13.2 kcal/mol. The relationship maintained between the ions on both sides of the plasma membrane by the 3Na+/2K(+)transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) and an open K+ channel was: (formula; see text) The energy of the gradients of the other inorganic ions across the plasma membrane, delta G[ion]o/i, exhibited three distinct quanta of energy derived from the prime quantum of delta GATP Hydr of -13.2 kcal/mol. The second quantum was about one-third of delta GATP Hydr or +/- 4.4 kcal/mol and comprised the delta G[Na+]o/i, delta G[Mg2+]o/i, and delta G[HPO42-]o/i. These results indicated near-equilibrium was achieved by the reactants of the 3Na+/2K(+)-ATPase, the K+ channel, the Na(+)-Pi co-transporter, and a postulated net Mg2+/H2PO4- exchanger. The third quantum was one-third of delta G[Na+]o/i or about +/- 1.5 kcal/mol and comprised delta G[H+]o/i, delta G[HCO3-]o/i, and delta G[Cl-]o/i. The delta G[K+]o/i was 0, indicating near-equilibrium between the chemical energy of [K+]o/i and the E across the plasma membrane of -83 mV. It is concluded that the gradients of the major inorganic ions across the plasma membrane and the potential across that membrane constitute a Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium system catalyzed by transport enzymes sharing common substrates. The chemical and electrical energies of those gradients are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis.

During the early period after poliovirus infection of HeLa cells, cellular Na+/K+ ATPase activity is transiently activated. We investigated the possibility that Na+/K+ ATPase activation is a consequence of Na+/H+ antiporter activation. Increased uptake of the weak organic acid 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione by infected cells around 2 h after infection suggested cytoplasmic alkalinization equivalent to pH 7.7 during the biosynthetic phase of viral replication. Consistent with the involvement of Na+/H+ antiporter activation in this phenomenon, it was found to be [Na+]-dependent and inhibited by 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA). However, the pH increase was not associated with an increase in amiloride-sensitive Na+ uptake by infected cells predicted by this mechanism. By contrast, the alkalinization could be abolished with the anion-exchange inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), implicating an anion-exchange mechanism, such as Cl-/HCO3- exchange, in this process. In addition to abolishing virus-induced intracellular alkalinization, both EIPA and DIDS moderately inhibited viral replication. Manipulation of intracellular pH with nigericin in the incubation medium revealed that maximum viral replication required a pH of about 7.7 and that replication was significantly inhibited even at pH 7.3. Thus, the pH increase in infected cells appeared to be physiologically relevant. These findings represent the first demonstration of a biologically meaningful pH increase in cells infected with a lytic virus.

Possible involvement of increased mucosal permeability in the stimulation by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) of duodenal HCO3- secretion was investigated in rats. PGE2 (0.3, 1 mg/kg, s.c.) dose-dependently increased HCO3- secretion in the duodenum with a significant elevation of transmucosal potential difference (PD); the PD was increased from -4.5 +/- 0.3 mV to -10.0 +/- 1.5 mV (mucosa negative) at 1 mg/kg. These responses caused by PGE2 were abolished by sacrificing the animals with saturated KCl (i.v.). Although a significant increase of HCO3- output was observed after exposure of the mucosa to 1 M NaCl (0.5 ml), this response was accompanied by a significant reduction of PD and was not abolished after KCl injection. The mucosal permeability determined by Evans blue (1%, i.v.) was not affected by PGE2, while 1 M NaCl markedly elevated the amount of extravasated dye in both the luminal content and the mucosa. Stimulation of HCO3- output by PGE2 was significantly mitigated by ouabain (3 mg/kg, s.c.) or prior exposure of the mucosa to 1 M NaCl. These results suggest that stimulation by PGE2 of duodenal HCO3- secretion is not simply due to the increased mucosal permeability, but depends rather on both the Na/K ATPase activity and the intact perfusion of the organ. The HCO3- response as induced by 1 M NaCl may result from the increased permeability and is accompanied by a marked reduction of PD.

Secretin stimulation clears the cytoplasm of intralobular pancreatic duct cells in pigs of tubulovesicles and causes these cells to secrete HCO3- into the pancreatic juice. To determine whether the clearance of cytoplasmic tubulovesicles involves the microtubule system and is important for initiation of HCO3- secretion, the effect of the microtubule poison colchicine on duct cell morphology and pancreatic HCO3- secretion was measured in anaesthetized pigs. Before colchicine, secretin reduced the density of tubulovesicles in the cytoplasm of pancreatic duct cells from 92 +/- 8 U to 8 +/- 2 U and initiated pancreatic secretion of 176 +/- 21 mumols min-1 HCO3-. After colchicine, secretin failed to lower duct cell tubulovesicle density and caused the secretion of only 77 +/- 14 mumols min-1 HCO3-. By contrast, lumicolchicine, an isomer of colchicine that does not affect microtubules, did not inhibit pancreatic HCO3- secretion. Colchicine did not reduce carbonic anhydrase or Na,K-ATPase activities in in-vitro assays. The clearance of tubulovesicles from the cytoplasm of pancreatic duct cells therefore seems to be microtubule-dependent and important for the pancreatic HCO3- secretion.

Preadministration of indomethacin (10 mg/kg of rat body mass), 1 hr before choleraic toxin injection, removed the toxin inhibitory effect on activity of Na+, K(+)-ATPase and decreased distinctly its inhibitory action on HCO3(-)-ATPase. At the same time, the indomethacin premedication caused a decrease in content of prostaglandins PGE, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and of thromboxane B2 as compared with the choleraic toxin effect and controls. The data obtained corroborate the hypothesis on antisecretory effect of indomethacin occurring via PG-dependent mechanism.

Cultured inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells have been shown to secrete protons (H+) by two mechanisms: an N-ethylmaleimide- and dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide-sensitive electrogenic H(+)-ATPase or H+ pump, and an amiloride-sensitive, secondary active Na+H+ exchanger. These cells also express Cl-/HCO3- exchange and carbonic anhydrase activity in common with other renal epithelial cells involved in acid-base transport. Video fluorescence microscopy of individual cells using 2',7'-biscarboxyethyl-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein has demonstrated that adjacent-cultured IMCD cells show substantial functional intercellular heterogeneity. The development of H(+)-pumping activity is associated with high-baseline intracellular pH and peanut agglutinin (PNA) affinity, and loss of mitotic activity and of Na+/H+ exchange. The H(+)-pumping activity may be further enhanced by removal of fetal calf serum for 6-54 h or by selecting cells with high PNA affinity. IMCD cells in their most differentiated state form domes, which consistently showed the highest rates of H(+)-pumping activity, as well as high affinity for peanut lectin. When IMCD were plated at low density, domes developed relatively late (2-4 weeks), at which time cells located in the center of nests of contiguously growing cells were quiescent and showed H(+)-pumping activity but no Na+/H+ exchange. On the other hand, dense plating was associated with early development of domes (end of 1st week), at which time adjacent cells showed a high mitotic activity and Na+/H+ exchange, but no H(+)-pumping activity. We speculate that differentiation of IMCD cells results in the development of cell polarity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
