We examined the effect of Cl- depletion metabolic alkalosis (CDA) on H(+)-ATPase and band 3 protein localization in intercalated cells (IC) of the rat cortical collecting duct (CCD) and the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD). After 30 min of peritoneal dialysis against 0.15 M NaHCO3 to produce CDA, or Ringer bicarbonate to serve as controls (CON), both groups were infused intravenously with an 80 mM Cl- solution for 90 min. For CDA vs. CON, physiological parameters were as follows: plasma total CO2, 38.0 +/- 1.1 vs. 27.8 +/- 0.6 meq/l (P less than 0.001); urinary total CO2 excretion, 141 +/- 89 vs. 20 +/- 3 neq.min-1.100 g body wt-1; and urinary Cl- excretion, 20 +/- 10 vs. 486 +/- 144 neq.min-1.100 g body wt-1 (P less than 0.001). H(+)-ATPase was localized in thin sections using a rabbit polyclonal antibody against the 70-kDa subunit of bovine brain H(+)-ATPase. Band 3 protein was localized using a polyclonal antibody against the 43-kDa subunit of the cytoplasmic domain of human erythrocyte band 3 protein. In CON rats, H(+)-ATPase localized along the apical plasma membrane and over the apical cytoplasmic vesicles of type A ICs in the CCD and ICs of the OMCD. H(+)-ATPase was observed along the basolateral plasma membrane and over cytoplasmic vesicles throughout type B ICs. In CDA rats, H(+)-ATPase was only observed over apical cytoplasmic vesicles in type A ICs and in the majority of OMCD ICs. In type B ICs, H(+)-ATPase staining was intensified along the basal plasma membrane in CDA. Band 3 protein was consistently localized in the basolateral plasma membrane of all type A cells in the CCD and ICs of the OMCD in both CON and CDA. In summary, stimulation of HCO3- secretion in rats caused withdrawal of H(+)-ATPase from the apical plasma membrane and storage in apical cytoplasmic vesicles of ICs of the OMCD and type A ICs of the CCD. H(+)-ATPase appeared to be inserted into the basal plasma membrane of type B ICs. These findings suggest that, during correction of CDA, proton secretion by type A and OMCD ICs is suppressed and proton transport across the basolateral plasma membrane of type B ICs is stimulated.

The systemic and renal adaptations for the maintenance and correction of metabolic alkalosis generated by chloride depletion (CDA) are the focus of this review. The hypothesis that extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion is essential for the correction of CDA is refuted, while the concept that Cl- repletion is necessary and sufficient for correction is developed. Contraction of ECF volume probably can occur as a consequence of CDA. The principal mechanisms by which the kidney corrects CDA appear to reside primarily in the collecting duct, which is endowed with the anion exchange mechanisms and the capacity to effect the necessary changes in body anion composition. Although the remainder of the collecting duct is undoubtedly important in this response, the cortical segment appears to have the paramount role since it can either absorb or secrete HCO3-. Alterations in the delivery of Cl- or HCO3- to the collecting duct may also be important but changes in glomerular filtration rate appear to have a minor role. Major unanswered questions in the pathophysiology of CDA are the manner in which exogenous Cl- repletion is detected and the kidney is signaled to excrete HCO3- and the cellular mechanisms by which this is accomplished in the various nephron segments.

Previous studies in chloride-depletion metabolic alkalosis (CDA) generated by intraperitoneal dialysis have suggested major alterations in chloride and bicarbonate transport beyond the distal convoluted tubule. To investigate the possible role of the cortical collecting duct (CCD) in the pathophysiology of CDA, isolated CCD segments were perfused in vitro from either control (CON) rats dialyzed against Ringer-bicarbonate or those made alkalotic by peritoneal dialysis with 0.15 M NaHCO3. Tubules from CDA animals secreted CO2 for greater than or equal to 3 h after dissection (-22.4 +/- 7.2 pmol.mm-1.min-1) compared with CON tubules that absorbed CO2 (18.3 +/- 4.2 pmol.mm-1.min-1). Replacement of luminal chloride with gluconate in the perfusate abolished net total CO2 (tCO2) secretion in tubules from CDA animals (from -21.5 +/- 4.5 to -2.7 +/- 2.3 pmol.mm-1.min-1) but did not alter net tCO2 absorption in tubules from CON animals. In contrast, removal of bath chloride increased net tCO2 secretion (-12.1 +/- 2.9 to -26.1 +/- 3.6 pmol.mm-1.min-1) in CDA tubules, whereas net tCO2 flux was altered from absorption to secretion in CON tubules (15.5 +/- 4.0 to -13.6 +/- 9.2 pmol.mm-1.min-1). These results demonstrate that 1) CDA generated in vivo within 45 min results in stable net tCO2 secretion in vitro up to 240 min in the CCD; 2) luminal chloride is necessary for tCO2 secretion; 3) the shift of net tCO2 flux from absorption to secretion in CON tubules in vitro was not sustained in contrast to CDA tubules.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Changes in systemic acid-base balance are known to influence acidification in the collecting duct. The H+ secretion in the collecting duct has been shown to be an electrogenic process and it has been suggested that an H-ATPase sensitive to inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) is responsible for H+ secretion. This study was designed to determine the effect of metabolic alkalosis on NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in the microdissected segments of the distal nephron. Metabolic alkalosis was produced by giving NaHCO3 to normal rats for 7 days. The plasma total CO2 concentration in the experimental group was 31.5 +/- 1.8 mM compared with 23.4 +/- 1.0 mM in the control group. NEM-sensitive ATPase activity was significantly lower in the cortical collecting duct and in the outer and inner medullary collecting ducts of alkali-loaded rats than those of control rats. There was no significant difference in the enzyme activity between the two groups of animals in the other nephron segments examined. Our results suggest that NEM-sensitive H-APTase activity in all three segments of the collecting duct is modulated by the acid-base status of the animal.

Newborn rabbits maintain a state of hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis with plasma HCO3- concentrations generally exceeding 27 mM. The large amounts of potential net base in mother's milk probably contribute to the generation of this alkalosis. We surmised that immature handling of H+ or HCO3- by the neonatal collecting duct helps maintain this alkalosis. Net HCO3- transport was measured in perfused collecting ducts taken from maturing rabbits, in solutions simulating adult rabbit plasma ultrafiltrate and then in presence of Cl(-)-free bathing solution. Cortical collecting ducts (CCD) from newborn and 4-wk-old rabbits failed to secrete HCO3- under baseline conditions and could not be stimulated to secrete HCO3- in Cl(-)-free bath. Neonatal segments perfused at very slow flow rates showed significant HCO3- absorption; inhibition of HCO3- secretion by removal of luminal Cl- revealed a substantial HCO3- absorptive flux. Segments from 6-wk-old and mature animals secreted net HCO3- and generally showed more than a fivefold increase in HCO3- secretion after Cl- removal from the bath. Outer medullary collecting ducts (OMCD) from newborn rabbits absorbed HCO3- at rates approaching that of mature segments. We conclude that relatively high rates of HCO3- absorption in OMCD and lack of HCO3- secretion in CCD may contribute to the metabolic alkalosis of the neonatal rabbit.

The renal handling of bicarbonate during acute metabolic alkalosis was examined in Munich-Wistar rats using micropuncture techniques. Group I received an acute bicarbonate load, and fractional delivery of total CO2 (tCO2) (FDtCO2) to the superficial late distal tubule (LD) was significantly lower than to the base of the papillary collecting duct (B) (18.4 +/- 1.7 vs. 22.9 +/- 1.5%; P less than 0.01), indicating net addition of bicarbonate between LD and B. When acutely bicarbonate-loaded rats had their deep nephrons destroyed with bromoethylamine hydrobromide (BEA) (group II), net addition of tCO2 between LD and B was abolished and net reabsorption uncovered (FDtCO2 LD: 28.0 +/- 3.6 vs. B: 17.5 +/- 2.5%; P less than 0.01). The infusion of amiloride (2.5 mg/kg body wt) to alkalotic rats treated with BEA (group III) completely inhibited distal bicarbonate reabsorption but did not reestablish addition (FDtCO2 LD: 27.6 +/- 1.6 vs. B: 26.1 +/- 3.7%; P = NS). The values obtained for sham-operated animals (group IV) were the same for group I. The patterns that were observed between LD and B were reproduced for the four groups of animals when FDtCO2 LD was compared with the fractional excretion of bicarbonate in the urine of the intact contralateral kidney. These studies suggest that juxtamedullary nephrons contribute a higher load of bicarbonate than superficial nephrons to the final urine during acute metabolic alkalosis in the rat.

Recollection micropuncture experiments were carried out in thyroparathyroidectomized volume-expanded rats to examine the effects of CaCl2 infusion on the renal and nephronal segmental handling of chloride and bicarbonate. In group 1A, a 0.23 mM increase in plasma calcium concentration [delta(Ca)P] reduced urinary total CO2 (tCO2) excretion from 401 +/- 90 to 166 +/- 43 nmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1 (P less than 0.05), whereas tCO2 filtered load was slightly diminished from 34,086 +/- 3,627 to 28,904 +/- 2,496 nmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1 (NS). In group 1B [delta(Ca)P, 0.73 mM], whole kidney filtered loads were significantly lowered, as was urinary tCO2 excretion; however, urinary excretion of sodium, chloride, and water remained constant. Calcium infusion inhibited the proximal reabsorption of chloride 25% and water 16%; however, calcium infusion caused the end-proximal tCO2 concentration to significantly decrease so that the absolute and fractional tCO2 reabsorption remained constant. In group 2 [delta(Ca)P, 0.43 mM], whole kidney filtered load was unchanged for chloride and water but decreased for bicarbonate; urinary tCO2 excretion was reduced, whereas chloride and water excretion increased. In this group, early distal micropunctures evidenced that superficial single-nephron filtered loads were significantly reduced during calcium infusion; early distal chloride delivery was enhanced from 348 +/- 32 to 441 +/- 36 pmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1 (P less than 0.05), whereas tCO2 delivery decreased from 47 +/- 5 to 38 +/- 4 pmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1 (P less than 0.05). In group 3 of time control animals, whole kidney and early distal data were unchanged during second period. In group 4, H+ secretion in the collecting duct, as assessed by analyzing the relationship between urine-minus-blood PCO2 and urinary bicarbonate concentration in maximally alkaline urine, was not modified during CaCl2 infusion [delta(Ca)P, 0.79 mM]. We conclude that increase in plasma calcium concentration inhibits proximal NaCl and water reabsorption, whereas it stimulates the bicarbonate transport relative to that of chloride, leading to an enhanced proximal and renal bicarbonate-to-chloride reabsorptive ratio that could generate metabolic alkalosis; and decreases urinary bicarbonate excretion by also lowering the bicarbonate filtered load.

In the rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD), Cl tracer crosses the epithelium predominantly via an anion exchange system that operates in either a Cl-Cl or Cl-HCO3 exchange mode. In the present study, we used the 36Cl lumen-to-bath rate coefficient (KCl, nm/s), a sensitive measurement of CCD transepithelial anion transport, to investigate the nature of Cl transport in the medullary collecting duct dissected from inner stripe, outer medulla (OMCD). The KCl in OMCD perfused and bathed in HCO3-Ringer solution was low (46.2 +/- 8.5 nm/s) and similar to that value observed in the CCD when anion exchange is inhibited and Cl permeates the epithelium by diffusion. Unlike KCl in CCD, KCl in OMCD was not stimulated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). OMCD KCl was not altered by bath Cl and/or HCO3 removal, demonstrating the absence of transepithelial Cl-Cl and Cl-HCO3 exchange. To test the hypothesis that metabolic alkalosis could reverse the polarity of intercalated cells and thus induce an apical Cl-HCO3 exchanger in H+-secreting OMCD cells, we measured KCl in OMCD from rabbits made alkalotic by deoxycorticosterone and furosemide. Although the base-line KCl was slightly higher than in OMCD from control rabbits, the value was still far lower than the KCl under comparable conditions in CCD. Moreover, KCl in OMCD from alkalotic rabbits was unchanged by cAMP, or by sequential removal of bath HCO3 and Cl. Immunocytochemistry using peanut lectin and a monoclonal antibody to-erythrocyte band 3 failed to reveal any evidence for alkalosis-induced reversal of either CCD or OMCD intercalated cell polarity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

DuBose, Thomas D., Jr. Application of the disequilibrium pH method to investigate the mechanism of urinary acidification. Am. J. Physiol. 245 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 14): F535-F544, 1983.--The cellular mechanism of renal bicarbonate reabsorption has been debated for four decades. Recent technological advances have allowed distinction between primary bicarbonate reabsorption and a proton secretory mechanism. The disequilibrium pH method has been applied widely for this purpose and has supported the latter hypothesis uniformly. The demonstration of elevated values for PCO2 in tubular and vascular structures of the renal cortex has not altered this view. Indeed, by employing a newly developed method for measurement of equilibrium pH in vivo that permits contact with the environment within the tubule lumen to continue, we demonstrated an acid disequilibrium pH in the proximal tubule after carbonic anhydrase inhibition equal to -0.68 pH units. A spontaneous disequilibrium pH was not present in the distal tubule during control conditions or during metabolic alkalosis but was demonstrated during combined respiratory acidosis-metabolic alkalosis. This finding agrees qualitatively with observed rates of bicarbonate reabsorption in the perfused distal tubule in vivo. With use of similar techniques, an acid disequilibrium pH in conjunction with elevated values for PCO2 was observed in the papillary collecting duct. Thus, proton secretion appears to be the predominant mechanism of bicarbonate reabsorption in superficial nephrons and explains, as well, the means by which the urine-to-blood PCO2 gradient in alkaline urine is established.

Using the technique of capillary perfusion and simultaneous luminal stop flow microperfusion the reabsorption of bicarbonate and glycodiazine from the papillary collecting duct was evaluated. Starting with equal H14CO3- and 3H-glycodiazine concentrations in the luminal and peritubular perfusates, the decrease in the luminal concentration at 10 and 45 s contact time was measured. In control rats with 25 mmol/l HCO3- in the perfusates the rate of HCO3- reabsorption calculated from the 10 s values was 0.34 nmol cm-2 s-1. In acute metabolic acidosis, the rate of bicarbonate reabsorption was 2,3 times higher. In metabolic alkalosis, the rate of bicarbonate absorption dropped to 13% of the control values. Also the 45 s values of acidotic and alkalotic animals differed significantly from each other. With 25 mmol/l glycodiazine in both perfusates the rate of buffer reabsorption as calculated from the 10 s values was 0.76 nmol cm-2 s-1 in control rats and did not deviate significantly from this value in acidotic and alkalotic animals. In control rats the bicarbonate reabsorption in % was the same, no matter whether both luminal and capillary perfusate contained 25 mmol/l bicarbonate or 10 mmol/l. In acidotic rats the rate of HCO3- reabsorption did not change significantly if all Na+ in the perfusates was replaced by choline (0.88 versus 0.79 nmol cm-2 s-1 at 25 mmol/l HCO3-). When in acidotic rats. 0.1 mmol/l acetazolamide or 1 mmol/l SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid) was added to both perfusates the rate of HCO3- reabsorption dropped by 75 and 58%, respectively. A potassium deficient diet for one week and DOCa administration had no influence on the bicarbonate reabsorption of rats which were on standard diet. The data indicate that (1) the buffer reabsorption from the papillary collecting duct is rather due to H+ ion secretion than to buffer anion reabsorption. (2) The adaptation to metabolic acidosis and alkalosis is specific for bicarbonate and not seen with glycodiazine. (3) Within the concentration range tested the HCO3- reabsorption rises linearly with the HCO3- concentration. (4) The HCO3- reabsorption in the papillary collecting duct is Na+-independent, it can be inhibited by acetazolamide and SITS, but is not influenced by K+-deficient diet plus DOCA.
