Abstract
Whole cell patch-clamp techniques were used to characterize the electrophysiological properties of cells from the inner stripe portion of the rabbit outer medullary collecting duct (OMCDi) grown in primary culture. With pipette and bathing solutions mimicking intracellular and extracellular fluid, the resting membrane voltage was -30 to -40 mV. The whole cell conductance exhibited slight outward rectification, and at the resting membrane voltage the cell conductance averaged 2.58 +/- 0.49 nS (n = 17). The major conductive ion species was Cl-. The Cl- conductance was also found to have a significant permeability to HCO3- and was inhibited by the Cl(-)-channel blockers diphenylamine carboxylic acid and 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. A small K+ conductance was also present, but no Na+ conductance was detected. Current generated by the H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (H(+)-ATPase) was quantitated. This current was dependent on the presence of ATP in the pipette. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N-ethylmaleimide, and bafilomycin A1, inhibitors of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, also reduced this outward current in an ATP-dependent manner. The inhibitor-sensitive component of the outward current, a measure of the current generated by the H(+)-ATPase, was in the range of 35-100 pA/cell.

Abstract
Cells from the inner stripe of the rabbit outer medullary collecting duct (OMCDi) were grown in primary culture, and their acid-base transport properties were characterized using intracellular pH (pHi) measurements with the fluorescent probe 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). Basal pHi in HCO(3-)-buffered solutions was 7.28 +/- 0.04 (n = 20). The presence of a Cl-/HCO(3-)-antiporter was demonstrated by reversible alkalinization on bath Cl- removal. The mean alkalinization seen on Cl- removal was 0.16 +/- 0.02 pH units (n = 20) and was inhibited 92% by 10(-4) M 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. Studies were also performed to determine the presence of an Na+/H+ antiporter and an H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (H(+)-ATPase). After an NH4Cl acid load the cells exhibited both Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent pHi recovery mechanisms. The Na(+)-dependent mechanism was inhibited by amiloride. The Na(+)-independent mechanism was completely inhibited by 10(-3) M N-ethylmaleimide or 2.5 x 10(-9) M bafilomycin A1, but was not significantly altered by removal of bathing solution K+. Thus, the Na(+)-dependent recovery mechanism exhibited characteristics of an Na+/H+ antiporter, whereas the Na(+)-independent recovery mechanism was consistent with the presence of an H(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The inner medullary collecting duct is a complex tissue that exhibits a variety of hormone signaling systems. These include the following: adenylyl cyclase activity stimulated by vasopressin (AVP), beta-adrenergic agonists, or prostanoids and inhibited by alpha 2-adrenergic agents or adenosine; guanylate cyclase activity in response to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP); phospholipase C activity stimulated by ANP, AVP, bradykinin, endothelin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and muscarinic cholinergic agents; and phospholipase A2 activity stimulated by AVP, bradykinin, EGF, and endothelin. The signal transduction mechanisms for each of these hormone signaling systems is succinctly reviewed, and the interactions between different signaling pathways are discussed. Central to this interaction is the mutually inhibitory relationship between activation of adenylyl cyclase and phospholipases. Increasing cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate content impairs activation of phospholipases A2 and C; conversely, stimulation of phospholipase C impairs AVP-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity via activation of protein kinase C.

Abstract
Endothelin-1 inhibits sodium and water transport systems in the inner medullary collecting duct. Endothelin-1 levels are reduced in the medulla of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), raising the possibility that decreased inner medullary collecting duct production of endothelin-1 could contribute to inappropriate sodium and water retention. In the current study, immunoreactive endothelin-1 was measured in the urine, blood, and eluates from cortex and outer and inner medulla of SHR before (age 3-4 weeks) and after (age 8-9 weeks) the development of hypertension and in age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) controls. There was no difference in endothelin-1 levels between prehypertensive SHR and WKY rats. In contrast, 8-9-week-old SHR had significantly reduced endothelin-1 in the urine and outer and inner medulla, but not in the cortex or serum compared with those of WKY controls. Furthermore, inner medullary collecting duct cells from 8-9-week-old SHR, either acutely isolated or cultured, released less endothelin-1 than did those from WKY rats. Finally, the level of endothelin-1 messenger RNA was only reduced in the inner medulla and in inner medullary collecting duct cells from 8-9-week-old SHR. In summary, renal medullary, and in particular terminal collecting duct, endothelin-1 production is reduced in SHR only after the development of hypertension. Such decreases in inner medullary collecting duct endothelin-1 production may contribute to the hypertensive state in SHR.

Abstract
Multiple lines of evidence support the hypothesis that the outer medullary collecting duct from the inner stripe (OMCDi) possesses a functional proton-potassium-activated adenosinetriphosphatase (H-K-ATPase). To examine the effect of inhibition of H-K-ATPase on Rb efflux, we measured the Rb tracer rate efflux coefficient (KRb) across the OMCDi of animals adapted to a K-restricted diet using the selective K-competitive H-K-ATPase inhibitor, Sch 28080. Sch 28080 (10 microM) did not significantly alter transepithelial voltage (VT) but significantly decreased KRb by 41%. We further examined the effect of 10% peritubular CO2 on KRb and the subsequent effect of Sch 28080 (10 microM) on KRb. After exposure to 10% CO2 for 120 min, vehicle-treated tubules exhibited a small but significant increase in KRb without a significant change in VT. In contrast, 10 microM Sch 28080 significantly decreased KRb by 44% without affecting VT. The lack of an effect of H-K-ATPase inhibition on VT in the presence of either 5% or 10% CO2 was in marked contrast to the effect of carbonic anhydrase inhibition (CAI). CAI consistently and significantly decreased VT either in the presence of 5% or 10% CO2. To address whether H-K-ATPase also participates in proton secretion we examined the effect of Sch 28080 (10 microM) on net bicarbonate absorption by the OMCDi of rabbits fed a normal rabbit ration and rabbits adapted to a K-restricted diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) may be an important factor in the regulation of inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) physiology. This segment of the nephron synthesizes ET-1, expresses endothelin receptors, and responds to exogenous ET-1 by reducing Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and water transport. Taken together, these findings suggest an autocrine role for ET-1 in the regulation of IMCD function; however, because of the polarized nature of the IMCD, it is not known if ET-1 secretion, receptors, and receptor activation occur on the same side of the cell. To examine this question, rat IMCD cells were grown to confluence on semipermeable membranes. These cells exhibited polar morphology with high transepithelial electrical resistances. Immunoreactive ET-1 was secreted primarily into the basolateral side. Furthermore, 125I-ET-1 bound predominantly to the basolateral surface. Finally, ET-1 (10(-8) M) stimulated prostaglandin E2 production only when added to the basolateral side. These data indicate, therefore, that ET-1 is capable of autocrine regulation of IMCD cells and that this effect occurs predominantly on the basolateral side.

Abstract
Resistance to the hydrosmotic effects of vasopressin has been described in K depletion. It is not clear whether other effects of vasopressin, notably its effects on the Na-K pump in the collecting duct, are similarly affected. Adrenalectomized male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated to either a normal K (NK) or low-K (LK) diet. Na-K pump activity (pmol.mm-1.h-1) in cortical collecting duct (CCD) and medullary collecting duct (MCD) was determined at 21 days after allocation to the dietary groups before and after exogenous vasopressin (0.1 U twice daily for 3 days). In animals on NK diet, vasopressin (AVP) led to a doubling of Na-K pump activity in the CCD from 502 +/- 47 to 1,144 +/- 41 pmol.mm-1.h-1 (P < 0.01). In K-depleted animals, which had a higher baseline Na-K pump activity, an increase was also observed from 1,056 +/- 97 to 1,239 +/- 65 pmol.mm-1.h-1 (P < 0.05), but this increase was quantitatively less, with the change being 183 vs. 642 pmol.mm-1.h-1 in K-replete rats. The findings in the MCD were similar; in rats on a NK diet, AVP led to a significant increase in Na-K pump activity from 498 +/- 29 to 830 +/- 28 pmol.mm-1.h-1 (P < 0.01). With K depletion, this directional change was preserved, increasing from 1,380 +/- 49 to 1,556 +/- 45 pmol.mm-1.h-1 (P < 0.05), but was quantitatively less than in K-replete rats, the change being 176 vs. 332 pmol.mm-1.h-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The thin limb segments of the long loop of Henle are thought to play important roles in the urinary concentrating mechanism. In this study, we present new approaches to the identification, dissection, and in vitro perfusion of individual thin limb segments from all levels of the chinchilla renal medulla, including the deepest portions of the papilla. We have applied these techniques to the investigation of the osmotic water permeability along the chinchilla long loop of Henle. The results demonstrate that the osmotic water permeability of the thin descending limb is not uniformly high along its length, as previously thought, but that the distal 20% of the long-loop descending limb has a very low water permeability (approximately 50 microns/s). The transition to the low water permeability region of the thin descending limb is accompanied by a relatively abrupt change in morphology (increased cellularity and decreased diameter) that is readily perceptible in the perfused segments and even in the dissection dish. In contrast, the upper part of the chinchilla long-loop thin descending limb had an extremely high osmotic water permeability (greater than 2,000 microns/s) as observed in other species. Thin ascending limbs from deep in the inner medulla had water permeabilities that were indistinguishable from zero, as previously found in thin ascending limbs from near the inner-outer medullary junction. The presence of a low-water-permeability portion of the long-loop thin descending limb in chinchilla may have important implications with regard to the inner medullary concentrating process. A relatively low osmotic water permeability (397 microns/s) was also found in the deep inner medullary portion of the thin descending limb from the rat.

Abstract
The role of anion exchange in the regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) under base load and steady-state conditions was investigated in confluent monolayers of rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells in primary culture using the pH-sensitive fluoroprobe 2,7-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6')-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). Recovery of pHi after imposition of a base load induced either by replacement of HCO3-/CO2 by N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) at the same extracellular pH (pHo) or deletion of Cl- from a HCO3-/CO2-buffered solution had an absolute requirement for Cl-, was Na+ independent, and was inhibited approximately 90% by 50 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). When pHo was decreased by lowering HCO3- concentration in the constant presence of 5% CO2, the rate of decrement in pHi was significantly blunted in the absence of Cl-. Imposition of a positive or negative diffusion potential of equal but opposite magnitude did not modify the anion exchange rate, confirming the electroneutrality of the process. Under steady-state conditions, pHi of cells bathed in a HCO3-/CO2-buffered solution was 7.33 +/- 0.06, significantly lower than that of cells bathed in a nominally HCO3-/CO2-free buffer (7.50 +/- 0.04), indicating that under physiological conditions the pathway functions as a base extruder. In studies performed on cells grown on permeable supports, the anion exchange pathway was found to be confined exclusively to the basolateral-equivalent cell surface. In summary, confluent monolayers of rat IMCD cells in primary culture possess a Na(+)-independent, DIDS-inhibitable electroneutral Cl(-)-HCO3- exchange pathway that is confined to the basolateral cell surface. The transporter is an important determinant of steady-state pHi and is the predominant mechanism whereby the cell recovers from imposed elevations in pHi.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated the synthesis and secretion of an atriopeptin (AP)-like prohormone in rat neonatal and adult cortical kidney cell cultures. However, these cultures contained proximal as well as distal tubular epithelial cells; thus characterization of the peptide synthetic cell was not possible. Also, by immunohistochemical techniques, we localized this AP-like prohormone to the distal cortical nephron in adult rat kidney. In this study, we examined further details of the kidney cortical cell type that expresses and secretes this AP-like peptide in adult renal cortical cell cultures, its regulation by adenylate cyclase via adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) generation, and its ability to stimulate guanylate cyclase. Tubular fragments were derived from cortical tissue of adult Sprague-Dawley rats and separated into four fractions on Percoll density gradient. Cell cultures generated from fraction 3 secreted 5- to 10-fold the amount of this renal peptide compared with fractions 2 and 4. Further cell culture characterization was performed by agonist-stimulated cAMP formation, kallikrein localization, and prostaglandin E2 formation. From these analyses, it was determined that tissue band 3 was enriched for distal cortical connecting tubules. To further evaluate whether mammalian distal nephron synthesizes an AP-like protein, we determined that two immortalized mouse cell lines, derived from either the distal convoluted tubule or cortical collecting tubule, synthesized a radiolabeled AP after being pulsed with [35S]-methionine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Previously, we demonstrated that adenosine (Ado) was released by the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) during hypoxia. The present experiments were designed to examine the effects of Ado and adenosine analogues on net chloride (JCl) and bicarbonate (JHCO3) absorption by the isolated, perfused MTAL of the rat. Ado, 10 nM, in the presence or absence of arginine vasopressin (AVP, 10(-10) M) reduced JCl by 50%. The inhibition of Ado was reproduced with the selective A1 agonist, N-6-phenylisopropyladenine (2 nM), and was reversed by 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, an A1-receptor antagonist. Thus the inhibition of JCl is likely mediated through A1 receptors. In contrast, Ado had no effect on (JHCO3) either in the presence or absence of AVP. Ado also had no influence on the effect of AVP to inhibit JHCO3. The lack of effect on JHCO3 suggests that the inhibition of JCl by Ado is unlikely to be mediated through changes in cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. These results support the hypothesis that Ado released into the renal medulla during hypoxia may protect the MTAL from ischemic injury by directly inhibiting NaCl absorption and reducing transport-related oxygen consumption.

Abstract
The inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) of the rat consists of two structurally and functionally distinct segments, i.e., the initial and the terminal IMCD. To identify factors that may regulate the transport function in the IMCD segments, we assessed whether catecholamines, carbachol, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), bradykinin, glucagon, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, or epidermal growth factor affects adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production in microdissected tubules in the presence and absence of arginine vasopressin (AVP, 0.1 nM). All experiments were performed in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and cAMP was measured by radioimmunoassay. Epinephrine (greater than or equal to 50 nM) and clonidine (greater than or equal to 1 microM) markedly decreased AVP-induced cAMP levels in both IMCD segments. However, phenylephrine did not show an effect. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was blocked by yohimbine (50 nM) but not by prazosin (50 nM). In isolated perfused terminal IMCDs, epinephrine inhibited AVP-stimulated urea permeability. Isoproterenol (1 microM), in the absence of AVP, caused a significant increase in cAMP level only in the initial IMCD. Propranolol (1 microM) inhibited this isoproterenol effect, but atenolol did not. Dopamine (less than or equal to 1 microM) had no effect on cAMP levels in either IMCD segment. Carbachol, PGE2, and the various peptide hormones had no effect on cAMP levels (+/- AVP) in either IMCD segment. We conclude that an adrenergic beta 2-receptor is present only in the initial IMCD, where its occupation increases cAMP production. We conclude also that an adrenergic alpha 2-receptor is present in both IMCD segments, where its occupation inhibits AVP-induced cAMP production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
It has been recently established that adenosine interferes with the ability of arginine vasopressin (AVP) to generate adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells in culture. The aim of the current study was to determine whether this interaction of adenosine with AVP is mediated by adenosine from the basolateral (B) and/or the apical (A) surface of the tubule cell. Cells from rat IMCD were grown to confluence in monolayers on porous filters. Adenosine (5 x 10(-8)-10(-4) M) applied to the B or A surface of the cell had no detectable effect on basal cAMP formation. AVP, 10(-9)-10(-6) M, increased cAMP formation from both B and A surfaces of the cell. When AVP was applied to the B surface, 10(-6) M adenosine inhibited AVP-stimulated cAMP formation from the B side only, whereas adenosine at 10(-4) M inhibited cAMP formation from both B and A sides. The inhibitory effect of adenosine was reproduced with N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) from both B and A surfaces. 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (DDA) inhibited cAMP formation from the B surface only. When AVP was applied to the A surface, the inhibitory effects of adenosine were the same as when AVP was applied to the B surface; CHA, NECA, and DDA inhibited AVP-stimulated cAMP formation from both the B and A surfaces. 1,3-Dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine (DPCPX), an adenosine antagonist with selectivity for the A1 receptor, prevented the inhibitory effects of adenosine, CHA, and NECA on AVP-stimulated cAMP formation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We determined whether extracellular pH (pHe) and intracellular pH (pHi) modulate the cellular actions of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells in culture. AVP significantly increased cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production and cellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). pHe ranging from 6.8 to 8.0 distributed the pHi between 6.94 and 7.27. The acidified pHe reduced the AVP- and forskolin-induced cAMP production, the AVP-mobilized [Ca2+]i, and [3H]AVP receptor binding, and the alkalinized pHe enhanced the AVP- and forskolin-produced cAMP. Intracellular acidification occurred under three different conditions as follows: using carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), acetate buffer, and bicarbonate buffer with a reduced concentration of bicarbonate. Intracellular acidification significantly diminished both the AVP- and forskolin-induced increases in cAMP production and the AVP-mobilized [Ca2+]i but did not alter [3H]AVP receptor binding. Intracellular alkalinization by NH4Cl or chloride-free bicarbonate buffer, in contrast, augmented them. These results indicate that alterations in pHi modulate the cellular action of AVP to produce cAMP and mobilize [Ca2+]i in renal papillary collecting tubule cells. Also, reduced receptor binding of AVP is involved in the mechanism of the effects of low pHe.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
To characterize H+ transport mechanisms in a fresh suspension of rat medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) tubules, we have monitored intracellular pH (pHi) with use of the fluorescent probe 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein. First, a Na(+)-H+ antiporter was identified in bicarbonate-free N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered media at 25 degrees C. pHi recovery of Na-depleted acidified cells was dependent on extracellular sodium concentration, which was inhibited by amiloride in a manner consistent with simple competitive interaction with one external transport site (amiloride Ki = 1.5-2.1 x 10(-5) M); Na-induced pHi recovery of acidified cells was electroneutral since it was not affected by 5 or 100 mM extracellular potassium in the presence or absence of valinomycin. Second, at 37 degrees C, pHi recovery after acute intracellular acidification caused by 40 mM acetate addition to cell suspension was inhibited 36% by 200-400 nM bafilomycin A1, a macrolide antibiotic that specifically inhibits vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase at submicromolar concentrations. In addition, amiloride-insensitive pHi recovery was inhibited by bafilomycin A1, 10(-3) M N-ethylmaleimide, and 10(-4) M preactivated omeprazole but not by 10(-5) M vanadate, 10(-4) M SCH 28080, or removal of extracellular potassium. Also, metabolic inhibition by absence of substrate, 10(-4) M KCN, or 5 x 10(-4) M iodoacetic acid inhibited amiloride-insensitive pHi recovery. The inhibitory effects of absence of metabolic substrate and iodoacetic acid were removed by reexposure to glucose and L-leucine and by exogenous ATP, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Since the kidney medulla was reported to generate platelet activating factor (PAF), we investigated a possible effect of this agent on the reabsorptive function of in vitro microperfused medullary thick ascending limbs from mouse kidney (mTAL). PAF, 10(-7) M in the bath, significantly decreased the net chloride flux (JCl) from 48.8 +/- 7.1 to 27.4 +/- 5.7 pmol/min. This effect was reversible, blocked by the antagonist BN 50730, and not reproduced by the inactive metabolite lyso-PAF. PAF inhibited the transepithelial potential difference with a threshold at 10(-9) M. In the presence of isoproterenol, the PAF-induced decrease of JCl was not significantly different from that observed in basal conditions; moreover, PAF did not modify the adenylate cyclase activity in isolated mTALs, either in basal condition or under stimulation by isoproterenol. The effect of PAF on JCl was not prevented by mepacrine, NDGA associated with proadifen, or adenosine desaminase. When the apical Na-K-2Cl cotransport was blocked by furosemide or bumetanide, a net K secretion occurred (-1.1 +/- 0.2 pmol/min), which was significantly decreased by PAF (-0.06 +/- 0.3 pmol/min). Moreover, it was verified on isolated mTALs that PAF did not modify the Na,K-ATPase activity. It is concluded that PAF inhibits the reabsorptive function of the mTAL, as indicated by the decrease of Cl reabsorption and K secretion. This effect could not be accounted for by adenosine or arachidonic acid metabolite action, and was not mediated by an inhibition of the adenylate cyclase activity.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
To assess sites and mechanism of action of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on water permeability (PF), we determined PGE2 effects on antidiuretic hormone (ADH)- and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-stimulated PF in rat terminal inner medullary collecting ducts perfused in vitro. PGE2 (10(-7) M) reversibly inhibited ADH-stimulated PF (1.131 +/- 192 to 532 +/- 208 microns/s). In contrast to that observed in rabbit, PGE2 also inhibited an established PF response to the exogenous cAMP analogue 8-p-(chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (696 +/- 107 to 399 +/- 99 microns/s). PGE2 alone had no effect on PF. The protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (10(-8) M) blocked PGE2-mediated inhibition of cAMP-stimulated PF. PGE2 caused a rapid spikelike increase in intracellular calcium [( Ca2+]i) followed by a stable elevation above basal values. Only the latter effect was abolished in a zero calcium bath. Neither staurosporine nor cAMP altered the [Ca2+]i response. These studies are the first to demonstrate PGE2-mediated inhibition of an established PF response to cAMP independent of changes in intracellular cAMP. The pattern of [Ca2+]i release and sensitivity to staurosporine suggests that this effect is mediated via signaling through phospholipase C. The results underscore the importance of species differences, axial heterogeneity, and/or in vivo conditioning for functional expression of cellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
We assessed in isolated perfused mouse medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) segments Na(+)-H+ antiporter activity in both apical and basolateral membranes and the effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the activities of these antiporters under isotonic conditions using 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein to monitor intracellular pH (pHi). When the apical Na(+)-H+ antiporter was inhibited in the absence of AVP with removal of luminal Na+ plus addition of 0.5 mM amiloride, a small but significant increase in pHi was observed after luminal NH4Cl-induced acidification of MTAL cells to pHi less than 6.7. This increase in pHi was dependent on basolateral Na+ and inhibited with 0.5 mM basolateral amiloride, consistent with the function of a basolateral Na(+)-H+ antiporter. Basolateral AVP (100 microU/ml) enhanced the rate of pHi recovery due to the basolateral Na(+)-H+ antiporter by more than twofold. In contrast, AVP decreased the apical Na(+)-H+ antiporter activity by 50%. In the absence of AVP, addition of 0.5 mM amiloride to the luminal perfusate reduced steady-state pHi by 0.40 +/- 0.07 units, whereas exposure of the basolateral membrane to the same concentration of amiloride had no effect on pHi (delta pHi = 0.01 +/- 0.01 units). AVP reduced the magnitude of cell acidification on exposure of apical membranes to amiloride (delta pHi = 0.16 +/- 0.03) but increased the pHi response to basolateral amiloride (delta pHi = 0.09 +/- 0.00). Thus Na(+)-H+ antiporters are present on both apical and basolateral membranes of the mouse MTAL in the absence of AVP. AVP stimulates the basolateral, while inhibiting the apical, Na(+)-H+ antiporter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated spontaneous bicarbonate absorption in the outer stripe portion of the rat outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) and inner medullary collecting duct, but net acid transport has not been studied in the inner stripe of the rat OMCD (OMCDIS). When we perfused isolated OMCDIS segments with identical bath and perfusate solutions containing HCO-3 and NH4Cl, HCO-3 was spontaneously absorbed, and total ammonia was spontaneously secreted at rapid rates in tubules from both deoxycorticosterone (DOC)-treated and untreated rats. We next measured the NH3 flux due to imposed NH3 concentration gradients. Carbonic anhydrase (CA), when added to the lumen, enhanced the NH3 flux, implying an absence of endogenous CA. The NH3 permeability was 0.0042 +/- 0.0007 cm/s. By measuring the luminal pH in perfused OMCDIS segments with an imposed lumen-to-bath NH3 gradient, we determined the pH at the end of the lumen to be 0.23 units below the equilibrium pH calculated from the simultaneously measured total CO2 concentration in collected fluid, confirming the lack of luminal CA. These results are consistent with the view that ammonium secretion in the OMCDIS occurs predominantly by H+ secretion and parallel NH3 diffusion. A luminal disequilibrium pH due to H+ secretion in the absence of endogenous luminal CA enhances the NH3 entry rate. Spontaneous net acid secretion appears to occur more rapidly in the OMCD than in other parts of the rat collecting duct system.

Abstract
Short-term desensitization to hormone-induced cAMP accumulation was investigated in the medullary (MTAL) and the cortical (CTAL) thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop isolated by microdissection from the rat kidney. The following agonists were studied: vasopressin, glucagon and human calcitonin in the MTAL, and vasopressin, glucagon, human calcitonin, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol in the CTAL. Isolated tubules were preincubated in vitro for 60 min in the presence or absence of a maximal concentration of one of the five agonists (vasopressin 10 nM, glucagon 10 nM, calcitonin 100 nM, PTH 10 nM, isoproterenol 1 microM). Desensitization induced by each agent to its own action was then quantified by measuring the amount of cAMP accumulating in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine and the same agonist concentration as that used during preincubation. In the MTAL, as previously reported, preincubation with vasopressin led to a marked (80%-85%) desensitization to this hormone. A significant hormone self-induced desensitization of about 45% was also obtained with glucagon, but not with calcitonin. In the CTAL, the following order of potency to elicit desensitization was observed: vasopressin (80%) greater than isoproterenol (50%) greater than glucagon (30%) greater than PTH (20%, NS) greater than calcitonin (10%, NS). Thus, the magnitude of desensitization varied greatly from one hormone to another, but for a given hormone, was of roughly similar extent in both MTAL and CTAL.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratory have determined that inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells express a novel DA2-like dopamine receptor (namely, DA2K) that is linked to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. In the present study, we have further characterized the dopamine-stimulated PGE2 response. Dopamine stimulated PGE2 production in cultured IMCD cells dose dependently (concentration for half-maximal stimulation, 11.1 microM; maximal stimulation, 235.1% of basal), an effect that was blocked by the DA2 antagonists domperidone and (S)-(-)-3-iodo-2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-N-[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-methyl] benzamine. Inhibition of intracellular calcium release with 8-(diethylamino)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (100 microM) blocked the dopamine response, whereas voltage-dependent calcium-channel blockers had no effect. Inhibition of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity with quinacrine (100 microM) completely blocked the dopamine-stimulated PGE2 production, whereas inhibition of polyphosphoinositol hydrolysis with neomycin (100 microM) or inhibition of protein kinase C with 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (10 microM) did not. Pertussis toxin (PT) treatment completely blocked the dopamine-stimulated PGE2 production but not the arachidonic acid-stimulated PGE2 production. These results suggest that dopamine, acting through the DA2K receptor, may be an important regulator of PGE2 production in IMCD cells. Furthermore, our results are most consistent with either a direct interaction of the DA2K receptor with PLA2 through a PT-sensitive G protein or an indirect interaction with PLA2 through mobilization of intracellular calcium.

Abstract
Dopamine has been proposed as an intrarenal natriuretic hormone. We reported previously that inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells express a novel DA2-like dopamine receptor (namely, DA2K) that is linked to stimulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. In this study we examined whether locally formed dopamine could stimulate PGE2 production in cultured IMCD cells. L-Dopa stimulated PGE2 production dose dependently in cultured IMCD cells (concentration for half-maximal stimulation, 54.3 microM; maximal stimulation, 212.7% of basal), with the maximal stimulation similar to that obtained with dopamine. This effect was blocked by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) inhibitors and DA2-receptor antagonists. IMCD cells also had measurable AADC activity and produced dopamine from exogenously added L-dopa. AADC inhibitors and DA2 antagonists also lowered basal PGE2 levels, suggesting that dopamine was being formed constitutively in culture. These results suggest that cultured IMCD cells have the capacity to take up and convert L-dopa to dopamine, which then stimulates PGE2 production via DA2K receptors. These results further suggest that locally formed dopamine could act as an autocrine/paracrine hormone in the kidney inner medulla to regulate PGE2 synthesis and water and electrolyte excretion.
