Evidence is presented for the existence of ectoenzymes in rat renal cortical brush-border membrane vesicles that produce adenosine as a final product using either ATP, ADP or AMP as substrate. The enzymes are insensitive to levamisole, ouabain, oligomycin and N-ethylmaleimide, and have absolute requirement for divalent cations with following order of activation Mg2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Ba2+ greater than Zn2+. At least two separate enzymes can be distinguished. One is capable of hydrolyzing ATP, other nucleoside triphosphates and ADP, but not AMP. The enzyme is insensitive to concanavalin A. The other enzyme hydrolyzes AMP and is strongly inhibited by this lectin. Mg2(+)-stimulated ATP hydrolysis displays saturation kinetics which is not of the simple Michaelis-Menten type, but is biphasic with a high-affinity (K'm = 0.16 mM) and low-affinity site (K'm = 9.0 mM), respectively. The low-affinity site hydrolyzes ATP, ITP and GTP to a similar extent, whereas CTP and UTP with about 40% lower rate. The high-affinity site splits ATP much better than other nucleoside triphosphates. Hydrolysis of ADP follows simple Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetic with apparent Km = 0.38 +/- 0.06 mM. Inhibition, activation and substrate specificity studies indicate that nucleoside triphosphatase and nucleoside diphosphatase may reside on the same protein. Kinetics of the AMP hydrolysis is hyperbolic with apparent Km = 76 +/- 9 microM. The cascade of ectonucleotidases in the brush-border membrane of the proximal tubule may catalyze the degradation of filtered nucleotides into adenosine and phosphate, the compounds which are thereafter probably reabsorbed by separate transport systems.

Li+ is actively transported out of cells, and across different epithelia of both mammalian and amphibian origin. Due to the low affinity of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase for Li+, the transport is most likely energized by exchange and/or cotransport processes. The detailed mechanism by which Li+ is reabsorbed across the proximal tubule is not known, although it seems reasonable to assume that at least a part is by secondary active transcellular transport. The evidence further suggest that aldosterone and maybe vasopressin, through their effects on the Na+ channels in the late distal tubule and the collecting duct may be of significance in inducing distal Li+ reabsorption, as seen during severe sodium restriction in rats and dogs. Clearly more studies are needed to finally resolve these issues.

Significant proximal tubular responses to exogenous dopamine require 0.1 to 10 mumol/L concentrations but endogenous peritubular dopamine and DOPA concentrations are in the picomolar to nanomolar range. Dopamine concentration approaches micromolar levels within proximal tubular cells and their brush borders, as a result of DOPA decarboxylation and secretion, and in collecting duct fluid, as a result of tubular fluid absorption. Thus dopamine probably acts either within the proximal tubule cell or brush border or from the collecting tubular lumen. DOPA and Na+ uptake are coupled; dopamine uptake is linked to intracellular electrical potential and its secretion to H+ counter-transport; therefore alterations in proximal tubular Na+ and H+ transport influence dopamine excretion. Haloperidol and SCH 23390 block dopamine excretion, therefore dopamine antagonists may inhibit tubular dopamine responses by lowering intracellular dopamine concentration as well as by receptor blockade. Evidence for an intracellular site of dopamine action can be deduced from the inhibitory effect of DOPA on oxygen consumption and 86Rb uptake in proximal tubule cells. We have confirmed these findings in isolated proximal tubule cells but not in proximal tubule fragments. The discrepant responses may be due to the fact that isolated cells loose their polarity while tubule fragments remain polarized. Dopamine inhibition of proximal tubular Na+, K(+)-ATPase is not reproduced by single dopamine agonists or inhibited by dopamine antagonists. Dopamine effects which are not linked to known dopamine receptors may be the result of redox cycling. Micromolar dopamine oxidizes sulfhydryl groups which may modify enzyme structure and activate protein kinase C.

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.

The cellular mechanisms by which nephrotoxic heavy metals injure the proximal tubule are incompletely defined. We used extracellular electrodes to measure the early effects of heavy metals and other sulfhydryl reagents on net K+ and Ca2+ transport and respiration (QO2) of proximal tubule suspensions. Hg2+, Cu2+, and Au3+ (10(-4)M) each caused a rapid net K+ efflux and a delayed inhibition of QO2. The Hg2(+)-induced net K+ release represented passive K+ transport and was not inhibited by barium, tetraethylammonium, or furosemide. Both Hg2+ and Ag+ promoted a net Ca2+ uptake that was nearly coincident with the onset of the net K+ efflux. A delayed inhibition of ouabain-sensitive QO2 and nystatin-stimulated QO2, indicative of Na+, K(+)-ATPase inhibition, was observed after 30 sec of exposure to Hg2+. More prolonged treatment (2 min) of the tubules with Hg2+ resulted in a 40% reduction in the CCCP-uncoupled QO2, indicating delayed injury to the mitochondria. The net K+ efflux was mimicked by the sulfhydryl reagents pCMBS and N-ethylmale-imide (10(-4) M) and prevented by dithiothreitol (DTT) or reduced glutathione (GSH) (10(-4) M). In addition, both DTT and GSH immediately reversed the Ag(+)-induced net Ca2+ uptake. Thus, sulfhydryl-reactive heavy metals cause rapid, dramatic changes in the membrane ionic permeability of the proximal tubule before disrupting Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity or mitochondrial function. These alterations appear to be the result of an interaction of the metal ions with sulfhydryl groups of cell membrane proteins responsible for the modulation of cation permeability.

Basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) isolated from both red outer medulla or from thick ascending limb segments isolated from the dog kidney were used to examine the process of lactate transport in this nephron segment. The BLMV preparation was enriched in Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) that represented 96% of the total ATPase activity of this preparation and the vesicles were largely under the right side-out orientation. On application of a OH- or HCO3- gradient (inside greater than outside), a secondary active lactate accumulation was observed, with characteristic transient overshoot. This phenomenon was shown to occur irrespective of the presence or absence of Na+, K+, or Cl-. The pH, but not the bicarbonate-driven, overshoot was abolished by nigericin (in presence of K+). Studies with valinomycin and K+ demonstrated that the generation of a membrane potential was not responsible for the acceleration of lactate transport, even if the amplitude of lactate accumulation was reduced in the presence of a bicarbonate gradient and valinomycin. A significant trans-stimulation of [14C]lactate transport by cold lactate was observed (under voltage-clamp condition). The transport was 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid insensitive but sensitive to furosemide (IC50 = 0.1 mM) and alpha-hydroxycyanocinnamate (IC50 = 1 mM). The kinetic parameters of the transporter revealed a single carrier with an apparent Michaelis constant of 1.7 mM and an apparent Vmax of 9.7 nmol.mg protein-1.30 s-1. The transporter was shown to be distinct from that of proximal tubule brush-border membrane or mitochondria (pyruvate). Thus thick ascending limbs possess a carrier-mediated lactate transport that can be used for lactate uptake (aerobic condition) or for lactate release (anaerobic glycolysis) according to metabolic processes imposed by the local oxygenation condition.

We used rat proximal tubule fragments purified by Percoll centrifugation to examine the role of diacylglycerol (DAG) in noradrenergic-stimulated Na+ reabsorption. Tubular DAG concentration and ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb uptake increased within 30 s after adding norepinephrine (NE) and remained elevated for at least 5 min. NE (1 microM) increased DAG content 17% and ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb uptake 23%. Cirazoline-stimulated 86Rb uptake was not inhibited by BaCl, quinidine, or bumetanide (1-10 microM) or by the omission of HCO3- or Cl- from the medium, but it was completely inhibited by ouabain and furosemide. Oleoyl-acetyl glycerol, L-alpha-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, and L-alpha-1,2-dioleoylglycerol (DOG) increased total 86Rb uptake 8-11%. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (5 nM) increased uptake by only 4%. Staurosporine at 5 nM inhibited DOG stimulation completely, whereas 50 nM staurosporine was required to inhibit NE stimulation completely. Sphingosine inhibited DOG stimulation by 66% but did not inhibit NE stimulation. Amiloride (1 mM) completely blocked DOG stimulation. Monensin increased 86Rb uptake 31% and completely blocked the DOG effect but reduced the NE effect by only 26% (P = 0.08). In tubules from salt-loaded rats, NE did not increase DAG concentration, but NE-stimulated 86Rb uptake was reduced by only 23% (P = 0.15). Thus DAG released by NE may stimulate Na+ entry through Na(+)-H+ exchange. NE predominantly stimulates Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) by activating a protein kinase that is insensitive to DAG and TPA and is inhibited by staurosporine but not by sphingosine. NE may also stimulate K+ efflux through a BaCl-insensitive K+ channel that is inhibited by millimolar furosemide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The initial mechanisms of injury to the proximal tubule following exposure to nephrotoxic heavy metals are not well established. We studied the immediate effects of silver (Ag+) on K+ transport and respiration with extracellular K+ and O2 electrodes in suspensions of renal cortical tubules. Addition of silver nitrate (AgNO3) to tubules suspended in bicarbonate Ringer's solution caused a rapid, dose-dependent net K+ efflux (Km = 10(-4) M, Vmax = 379 nmol K+/min/mg protein) which was not inhibited by furosemide, barium chloride, quinine, tetraethylammonium, or tolbutamide. An increase in the ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption rate (QO2) (13.9 +/- 1.1 to 25.7 +/- 4.4 nmol O2/min/mg, P less than 0.001), was observed 19 sec after the K+ efflux induced by AgNO3 (10(-4) M), suggesting a delayed increase in Na+ entry into the cell. Ouabain-insensitive QO2, nystatin-stimulated QO2, and CCCP-uncoupled QO2 were not significantly affected, indicating preserved function of the Na+,K+-ATPase and mitochondria. External addition of the thiol reagents dithiothreitol (1 mM) and reduced glutathione (1 mM) prevented and/or immediately reversed the effects on K+ transport and QO2. We conclude that Ag+ causes early changes in the permeability of the cell membrane to K+ and then to Na+ at concentrations that do not limit Na+,K+-ATPase activity or mitochondrial function. These alterations are likely the result of a reversible interaction of Ag+ with sulfhydryl groups of cell membrane proteins and may represent initial cytotoxic effects common to other sulfhydryl-reactive heavy metals on the proximal tubule.

Total renal ischemia for various time intervals (0-50 min) resulted in the rapid and duration-dependent redistribution of polarized membrane lipids and proteins in renal proximal tubule cells. Following only 15 min of ischemia, apical membrane enrichment of NaK-ATPase, normally a basolateral membrane (BLM) enzyme, had increased (1.6 +/- 0.6 vs. 2.9 +/- 1.2, P less than 0.01). In vivo histochemical localization of NaK-ATPase showed reaction product throughout the apical microvillar region. PTH-stimulatable adenylate cyclase, another BLM protein, was also found in ischemic but not control apical membrane fractions. One dimensional SDS-PAGE showed four bands, present in control BLM and ischemic apical membranes, which could not be found in control apical membrane fractions. Immunohistochemical localization of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) showed the enzyme was limited to the apical domain in control cells. Following ischemic injury (50 min), LAP staining could be seen within the cell and along the BLM. Following 24 hr of reperfusion, the BLM distribution of LAP was further enhanced. With cellular recovery from ischemic injury (5 days), LAP was again only visualized in the apical membrane. Duration-dependent alterations in apical and BLM lipids were also observed. Apical sphingomyelin and phosphatidylserine and the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio decreased rapidly while apical phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol increased. Taken together, these results indicate renal ischemia causes rapid duration-dependent reversible loss of surface membrane polarity in proximal tubule cells.

The apical membrane of mammalian proximal tubule undergoes rapid membrane cycling by exocytosis and endocytosis. Osmotic water and ATP-driven proton transport were measured in endocytic vesicles from rabbit and rat proximal tubule apical membrane labeled in vivo with the fluid phase marker fluorescein-dextran. Osmotic water permeability (Pf) was determined from the time course of fluorescein-dextran fluorescence after exposure of endosomes to an inward osmotic gradient in a stopped-flow apparatus. Pf was 0.009 (rabbit) and 0.029 cm/s (rat) (23 degrees C) and independent of osmotic gradient size. Pf in rabbit endosomes was inhibited reversibly by HgCl2 (KI = 0.2 mM) and had an activation energy of 6.4 +/- 0.5 kcal/mol (15-35 degrees C). Endosomal proton ATPase activity was measured from the time course of internal pH, measured by fluorescein-dextran fluorescence, after the addition of external ATP. Endosomes contained an ATP-driven proton pump that was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide and insensitive to vanadate and oligomycin. In response to saturating [ATP] the pump acidified the endosomal compartment at a rate of 0.17 (rat) and 0.029 pH unit/s (rabbit); at an external pH of 7.4, the steady-state pH was 6.4 (rat) and 6.5 (rabbit). To examine whether water channels and the proton ATPase were present in the same endosome, the time course of fluorescein-dextran fluorescence was measured in response to an osmotic gradient in the presence and absence of ATP. ATP did not alter endosome Pf, but decreased the amplitude of the fluorescence signal by 43 +/- 3% (rabbit) and 47 +/- 4% (rat).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
