Previous studies have suggested the presence of an H(+)-K(+)-ATPase in rat cortical and medullary intercalated cells with similar properties to the gastric proton pump. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional contribution of an H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase(ATPase) to total CO2 (tCO2) transport along the rat collecting duct. After baseline determination of tCO2 transport in isolated perfused collecting duct segments, Sch 28080 (10 microM) was added to either the perfusate or bath. When Sch 28080 was added to the perfusate, there was no effect in the cortical collecting duct (CCD, 20.8 +/- 6.7 vs. 25.3 + 3.0 pmol.mm-1.min-1), but a marked decrease in tCO2 absorption was effected in both the outer medullary (OMCD, 37.6 + 6.2 vs. 10.7 +/- 4.1 pmol.mm-1.min-1) and initial inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD1, 34.4 +/- 8.1 vs. 16.2 +/- 5.6 pmol.mm-1.min-1). In the CCD from rats with acute alkalosis in vivo, Sch 28080 added to the bath inhibited tCO2 secretion in the CCD (-17.1 +/- 4.4 vs 3.5 + 3.3 pmol.mm-1.min-1). These findings suggest that 1) H(+)-K(+)-ATPase is important in tCO2 absorption in the OMCD and IMCD1 and in tCO2 secretion in the CCD, 2) HCO3(-)-absorbing intercalated cells differ functionally in the cortex and medulla, 3) HCO3- secretion is not the reverse process of HCO3- absorption in the CCD, and 4) H(+)-K(+)-ATPase is important in distal acidification under normal and altered acid-base conditions.

In cortical collecting tubules (CCD) of aldosterone-repleted rabbit kidney, an increase in intracellular sodium concentration (Nai) induces the recruitment and/or activation of latent Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pumps (Blot-Chabaud et al., J. Biol. Chem. 265: 11676-11681, 1990). The present study was addressed to determine the time course of this Nai-dependent pump recruitment and to examine some of the factors possibly involved in this phenomenon. CCD from adrenalectomized rabbits complemented with aldosterone and dexamethasone were incubated at 4 degrees C either in a K(+)-free saline solution (Na(+)-loaded CCD) or in a sucrose solution (control CCD) and then rewarmed for various time periods to allow pump recruitment to occur. The number of pumps in the membrane was determined by specific [3H]ouabain binding; Nai was measured using 22Na. A rise in Nai induced a threefold increase in the number of basolateral pumps, which was fully achieved within 1-2 min. This pump recruitment was reversible within 15 min after restoration of low Nai. It was unaffected by inhibitors of cytoskeleton and Ca2+ ionophore A 23187. The blocker of the Na(+)-H+ antiporter, amiloride, did not prevent it. The protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, did not induce it in the absence of Na+. We conclude that Nai is a major determinant of pump recruitment and/or activation, which occurs over a very short period of time. It may constitute a rapid adaptative response to an increase in the cell Na+ load.

Aldosterone increased the tubular volume in cortical collecting tubules (CCD) of rabbit kidney. It modulated the rate of cell sodium accumulation, under condition of ATPase inhibition (4 degrees C, in the absence of K+). In contrast, the relationship between Na+/K(+)-ATPase-dependent Na+ extrusion rate and intracellular Na+ concentration (Nai+) was similar in control, adrenalectomized, and aldosterone-treated adrenalectomized animals: Na+ extrusion rate increased with Nai+, up to 70 mM Nai+, and then plateaued. This indicates that aldosterone does not modify the characteristics of Nai(+)-dependent Na+ extrusion rate by the Na+/K(+)-ATPase pump in CCD.

The influence of intracellular sodium concentration ( [Na+]i) on the number of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pumps was examined in cortical collecting tubules (CCD) of kidneys from rabbits in different aldosterone conditions. Specific [3H]ouabain binding was measured in isolated CCD with various [Na+]i. Experiments were performed on adrenalectomized rabbits receiving only a substitutive dose of dexamethasone and on adrenalectomized rabbits replete with aldosterone. In aldosterone-replete rabbits, the number of binding sites increased linearly with [Na+]i, from 16 fmol/nl tubular volume at 15 mM Na+i to 39 fmol/nl tubular volume at 140 mM Na+i. Neither actinomycin D (5 microM) nor cycloheximide (10 microM) prevented this [Na+]i-dependent increase. In adrenalectomized rabbits, the number of ouabain-binding sites was reduced and did not increase with [Na+]i. These results are in favor of the presence of a "latent" pool of pumps in CCD, rapidly recruited under [Na+]i influence. Aldosterone appears to be required for the constitution and/or activation of this pool.

The aldosterone-induced up-regulation of Na absorption and K secretion in the CCD is complex and involves the regulation of numerous transport proteins. Some aspects of the response may be species dependent. For example, stimulation of Na and K transport in the rabbit CCD involves a marked up-regulation in the apical cell membrane Na and K conductances, the basolateral cell membrane K conductance, and the basolateral membrane NaK-ATPase activity. In the rat CCD, aldosterone causes a similar up-regulation in the NaK-ATPase and the apical membrane Na conductance, but supposedly has little influence on the apical and basolateral membrane K conductances as evaluated by indirect methods. Furthermore, the marked hyperpolarization of the basolateral membrane with long-term aldosterone treatment in the rabbit CCD is blunted or absent in the rat CCD. Other differences between the CCD of these two species have been outlined. Nonetheless, the basic responses of the CCDs from the two species show similar trends. The actions of aldosterone in the CCD principal cell are summarized in Figure 5. The initial steps have been described previously. Aldosterone (A) diffuse across the cell membrane and binds to a cytoplasmic receptor (R). The receptor complex moves into the nucleus and binds to an acceptor site on chromatin, initiating transcription and the subsequent synthesis of a myriad of new proteins referred to as aldosterone-induced proteins (AIP). The initial observed action of aldosterone is an upregulation of the apical membrane Na conductance during the early phase, which occurs within 1 to 2 hours. The increase in Na conductance likely reflects activation of preexisting latent Na channels and not synthesis of new channels, although activation does require protein synthesis. The increased Na influx during the early phase presents a larger Na load to the Na pump, which is likely reflected as a modest transient increase in intracellular Na activity. Based on kinetic considerations alone, this should cause an increased transport turnover of the pump with a greater Na extrusion rate and K uptake rate. The stimulated Na influx also causes a modest depolarization of the apical membrane during the early phase, which when combined with the increased K uptake via the pump and an apparent modest elevation in the intracellular K activity, results in a more favorable gradient for K secretion (increased driving force) into the tubule lumen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Recently, we demonstrated that an ATPase stimulated by K (and not inhibited by ouabain, Na-K-ATPase inhibitor) is present in the connecting tubule (CNT) and collecting duct segments of the rabbit. In this study, we determined the effects of high- and low-K diet on K-ATPase activity in the CNT and collecting duct segments of rabbit. One group of animals was given a low-K diet (34 mEq/kg diet) and the other group was given a high-K diet (700 mEq/kg diet) for 1 week. K-ATPase activity was measured by a microfluorometric assay in which ATP hydrolysis is coupled to oxidation of NADH. Low-K animals had plasma K = 3.1 +/- 0.2 as compared with 5.5 +/- 0.5 mEq/l in high-K animals. Low-K animals had significant K-ATPase activity in CNT, CCD (cortical collecting duct) and MCD (medullary collecting duct). On the other hand, K-ATPase activity in all 3 segments from high-K animals was not significantly different from zero. These results support a hypothesis that chronic K loading suppresses the ouabain-insensitive K-ATPase in the distal nephron.

Aldosterone (aldo) treatment of animals stimulates the rate of H+ secretion in the collecting duct, a process which may involve an H+-ATPase sensitive to inhibition by NEM (N-ethylmaleimide). Therefore, we determined NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in distal nephron segments from three groups of adrenalectomized (adx) rabbits maintained on different doses of aldo (in an osmotic minipump) for seven days. Group 1 was given 1.5 micrograms aldo/100 g body wt/day, whereas groups 2 and 3 were maintained on 5 micrograms and 50 micrograms of aldo/100 g body wt/day, respectively. Aldo concentrations in the plasma of groups 1, 2 and 3 were 10.4 +/- 0.8, 70 +/- 7 and 408 +/- 133 ng/dl, respectively. There was a significant increase in NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in connecting tubule (CNT) and cortical, outer and inner medullary duct segments (CCD, OMCD and IMCD) but not in cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) in group 2 as compared to group 1. A further increase in plasma concentration of aldo (group 3) did not produce any more increase in NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in the CNT, CCD, OMCD and IMCD, but did increase the enzyme activity in the DCT. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that aldo increases H+ secretion in the connecting tubule and collecting duct segments by increasing the activity of NEM-sensitive H+-ATPase activity in these segments.

An electrogenic H-ATpase sensitive to inhibition by N-ethyl-maleimide has been reported to be present in renal distal tubules. In contrast to another H-ATPase (gastric H-K-ATPase), the renal enzyme is not stimulated by K+ and is not inhibited by vanadate. However, our preliminary observations indicated that a K-stimulated ATPase (K-ATPase) sensitive to inhibition by vanadate is present in renal medullary collecting duct (MCD). To localize and further characterize this renal tubular K-ATPase, we measured K-ATPase activity in eight specific segments of the rabbit nephron. K-ATPase activity was the difference in ATPase activity in the presence and absence of KCl but in the presence of ouabain (to inhibit Na-K-ATPase). ATPase activity was determined by a fluorometric microassay in which ATP hydrolysis is coupled to the oxidation of NADH. There was a significant K-ATPase activity (expressed as pmol.min-1.mm-1) in the connecting tubule (CNT, 17.0 +/- 3.3), cortical collecting duct (CCD, 6.6 +/- 0.7), and MCD (8.8 +/- 1.7), but not in the proximal segments and the thick ascending limbs. The renal tubular K-ATPase was not only inhibited by vanadate but also by omeprazole and SCH 28080 (relatively specific inhibitors of gastric H-K-ATPase). It is concluded that K-ATPase present in the CNT, CCD, and MCD has some properties in common with gastric H-K-ATPase. However, the physiological role of K-ATPase in the distal nephron segments remains to be elucidated.

Na-K-ATPase activity was studied in tubule segments from the cortex and medulla of rabbit kidneys under normal conditions, after unilateral nephrectomy, and after chronic salt loading. After unilateral nephrectomy kidney weight increased by 37% and Na-K-ATPase activity rose significantly in all nephron segments by 36-200% (P less than 0.01). Oral salt loading for 2 wk with 0.5% NaCl caused an increase in GFR and in absolute sodium excretion as well as reabsorption; plasma aldosterone decreased by 44% (P less than 0.005). In the proximal segments (PCT, CPST, OMPST, and TDL) there were no marked changes in Na-K-ATPase activity, whereas along the whole length of the ascending limb of Henle's loop (iMTAL, MTAL, and CTAL) there was a significant rise in the enzymatic activity of 30-200% (P less than 0.02). In the distal segments (DCT, CCD, and OMCD) there was a marked decrease of 50-60% (P less than 0.005) in Na-K-ATPase activity after the salt loading. We conclude that unilateral nephrectomy caused a general increase in Na-K-ATPase activity along the whole length of the nephron, and salt loading caused a selective increase in enzyme activity along the ascending limb of Henle's loop and decrease in the distal segments.

The distal tubule, which includes the thick ascending limb (TAL), the macula densa, and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), and the collecting duct are structurally heterogeneous, thus reflecting the functional heterogeneity that is also present. As the TAL ascends from medulla to cortex, the surface area of the apical plasma membrane increases while that of the basolateral membrane decreases. The structure of the DCT resembles that of the medullary TAL. An excellent correlation exists between structure, Na-K-ATPase activity, and NaCl reabsorptive capacity in the distal tubule. The collecting duct is subdivided into the initial collecting tubule (ICT), and cortical (CCD), outer medullary (OMCD), and inner medullary (IMCD) collecting ducts. Between the distal tubule and the collecting duct is a transition region termed the connecting segment or connecting tubule (CNT). Considerable structural heterogeneity exists along the collecting duct within the two major cell populations, the intercalated cells and the principal cells. In the CNT, the ICT, and the CCD, potassium loading and mineralocorticoids stimulate Na-K-ATPase activity and cause proliferation of the basolateral membrane of CNT cells and principal cells, thus identifying the cells responsible for mineralocorticoid-stimulated potassium secretion in these regions. Finally, at least two morphologically distinct populations of intercalated cells exist, types A and B. In the rat, type A predominates in the CNT and the OMCD and is believed to be responsible for H+ secretion, at least in the OMCD. Type B predominates in the CCD, where it may be involved in bicarbonate secretion.
