Abstract
To investigate the P absorption and gene expression levels of related co-transporters, type IIb sodium-dependent phosphate co-transporter (NaPi-IIb), inorganic phosphate transporter 1 (PiT-1) and inorganic phosphate transporter 2 (PiT-2) in the small intestine of broilers, 450 1-d-old Arbor Acres male broilers were randomly allocated to one of three treatments with ten replicate cages of fifteen birds per cage for each treatment in a completely randomised design. Chickens were fed a diet with no added inorganic P (containing 0·06 % non-phytate P (NPP)) or with either 0·21 or 0·44 % NPP for 21 d. Plasma P concentration in the hepatic portal vein, mRNA and protein expression levels of NaPi-IIb, PiT-1 and PiT-2 were determined at 7, 14 and 21 d of age. The results showed that the concentration of P in plasma in the hepatic portal vein increased as dietary NPP increased (P<0·0001). At 14 and 21 d of age, the increase in dietary NPP inhibited (P<0·003) NaPi-IIb mRNA expression level in the duodenum, as well as PiT-1 mRNA and protein expression levels in the ileum, but promoted NaPi-IIb protein expression level (P<0·002) and PiT-2 mRNA and protein expression levels (P<0·04) in the duodenum. These results suggest that NaPi-IIb, PiT-1 and PiT-2 might be important P transporters in the small intestine of broilers. Higher intestinal P absorption may be achieved by up-regulating the protein expression levels of NaPi-IIb and PiT-2 and down-regulating the protein expression of PiT-1.

Abstract
Sulfate is essential for normal cellular function. The kidney plays a major role in sulfate homeostasis. Sulfate is freely filtered and then undergoes net reabsorption in the proximal tubule. The apical membrane Na(+)/sulfate cotransporter NaS1 (SLC13A1) has a major role in mediating proximal tubule sulfate reabsorption, as demonstrated by the findings of hyposulfatemia and hypersulfaturia in Nas1-null mice. The anion exchanger SAT1 (SLC26A1), the founding member of the SLC26 sulfate transporter family, mediates sulfate exit across the basolateral membrane to complete the process of transtubular sulfate reabsorption. Another member of this family, CFEX (SLC26A6), is present at the apical membrane of proximal tubular cells. It also can transport sulfate by anion exchange, which probably mediates backflux of sulfate into the lumen. Knockout mouse studies have demonstrated a major role of CFEX as an apical membrane Cl(-)/oxalate exchanger that contributes to NaCl reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Several additional SLC26 family members mediate sulfate transport and show some level of renal expression (e.g., SLC26A2, SLC26A7, SLC26A11). Their roles in mediating renal tubular sulfate transport are presently unknown. This paper reviews current data available on the function and regulation of three sulfate transporters (NaS1, SAT1, and CFEX) and their physiological roles in the kidney.

Abstract
Toxic renal failure induced by gentamicin, glycerol, or cisplatin, as well as ischemic renal failure in vivo and hypoxia/reoxygenation of tubular epithelial cells in vitro, induces the production of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM). Generation of ROM is responsible for the induction of tubular epithelial cell death, which is mediated by caspases and/or endonucleases. Scavenging of ROM protects tubular epithelium from caspase and endonuclease activation and from cell death. Thus, the inhibition of ROM production combined with the pharmacological control of caspase and endonuclease pathways may provide future modalities in the prevention or treatment of acute renal failure in humans.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to examine the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) in glia cells using human glioma cell line A172 cells. HgCl2 caused the loss of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. HgCl2-induced loss of cell viability was not affected by H2O2 scavengers catalase and pyruvate, a superoxide scavenger superoxide dismutase, a peroxynitrite scavenger uric acid, and an inhibitor of nitric oxide N(G)-nitro-arginine Methyl ester. HgCl2 did not cause changes in DCF fluorescence, an H2O2-sensitive fluorescent dye. The loss of cell viability was significantly prevented by the hydroxyl radical scavengers dimethylthiourea and thiourea, but it was not affected by antioxidants DPPD and Trlox. HgCl2-induced loss of cell viability was accompanied by a significant reduction in GSH content. The GSH depletion was almost completely prevented by thiols dithiothreitol and GSH, whereas the loss of viability was partially prevented by these agents. Incubation of cells with 0.2 mM buthionine sulfoximine for 24 hr, a selective inhibitor of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, resulted in 56% reduction in GSH content without any change in cell viability. HgCl2 resulted in 34% reduction in GSH content, which was accompanied by 59% loss of cell viability. These results suggest that HgCl2-induced cell death is not associated with generation of H2O2 and ROS-induced lipid peroxidation. In addition, these data suggest that the depletion of endogenous GSH itself may not play a critical role in the HgCl2-induced cytotoxicity in human glioma cells.

Abstract
All cells require inorganic sulfate for normal function. Sulfate is among the most important macronutrients in cells and is the fourth most abundant anion in human plasma (300 microM). Sulfate is the major sulfur source in many organisms, and because it is a hydrophilic anion that cannot passively cross the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, all cells require a mechanism for sulfate influx and efflux to ensure an optimal supply of sulfate in the body. The class of proteins involved in moving sulfate into or out of cells is called sulfate transporters. To date, numerous sulfate transporters have been identified in tissues and cells from many origins. These include the renal sulfate transporters NaSi-1 and sat-1, the ubiquitously expressed diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter DTDST, the intestinal sulfate transporter DRA that is linked to congenital chloride diarrhea, and the erythrocyte anion exchanger AE1. These transporters have only been isolated in the last 10-15 years, and their physiological roles and contributions to body sulfate homeostasis are just now beginning to be determined. This review focuses on the structural and functional properties of mammalian sulfate transporters and highlights some of regulatory mechanisms that control their expression in vivo, under normal physiological and pathophysiological states.

Abstract
Intestinal and renal absorption of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is critical for phosphate homeostasis in mammals. We have isolated a cDNA that encodes a type III Na-dependent phosphate cotransporter from mouse small intestine (mPit-2). The nucleotide sequence of mPit-2 predicts a protein of 653 amino acids with at least 10 putative transmembrane domains. Kinetic studies, carried out in Xenopus oocytes, showed that mPit-2 cRNA induces significant Na-dependent P(i) uptake with an apparent Michaelis constant (K(m)) for phosphate of 38 microM. The transport of phosphate by mPit-2 is inhibited at high pH. Northern blot analysis demonstrated the presence of mPit-2 mRNA in various tissues, including intestine, kidney, heart, liver, brain, testis, and skin. The highest expression of mPit-2 in the intestine was found in the jejunum. In situ hybridization revealed that mPit-2 mRNA is expressed throughout the vertical crypt-villus axis of the intestinal epithelium. The presence of mPit-2 in the mouse intestine and its unique transport characteristics suggest that multiple Na-dependent cotransporters may contribute to phosphate absorption in the mammalian small intestine.

Abstract
Over the last decade, there is accumulating evidence for a role of reactive oxygen metabolites in the pathogenesis of a variety of renal diseases, including gentamicin, glycerol, cisplatin, and cyclosporine A models of toxic acute renal failure. Gentamicin has been shown both in in vitro and in vivo studies to enhance the generation of reactive oxygen metabolites. Iron is important in models of tissue injury, presumably because it is capable of catalyzing free-radical formation. Gentamicin has been shown to cause release of iron from renal cortical mitochondria. Scavengers of reactive oxygen metabolites as well as iron chelators provide protection in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. In glycerol-induced acute renal failure, an animal model of rhabdomyolysis, there is enhanced generation of hydrogen peroxide, and scavengers of reactive oxygen metabolites and iron chelators provide protection. Although the dogma is that the myoglobin is the source of iron, recent studies suggest that cytochrome P450 may be an important source of iron in this model. In addition, there are marked alterations in antioxidant defenses, such as glutathione, as well as changes in heme oxygenase. Several recent in vitro and in vivo studies indicate an important role of reactive oxygen metabolites in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Thus, catalytic iron is increased both in vitro and in vivo by cisplatin, and iron chelators as well as hydroxyl radical scavengers have been shown to be protective. Recent studies indicate that cytochrome P450 may also be an important source of the catalytic iron in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Cyclosporine A has been shown to enhance generation of hydrogen peroxide in vitro and enhance lipid peroxidation in vitro and in vivo. Antioxidants have been shown to be protective in cyclosporine A nephrotoxicity. This collective body of evidence suggests an important role for reactive oxygen metabolites in toxic acute renal failure and may provide therapeutic opportunities of preventing or treating acute renal failure in humans.

Abstract
1. In insulin-secreting cells the location of the sulphonylurea receptor was examined by use of a sulphonylurea derivative representing the glibenclamide molecule devoid of its cyclohexy moiety (compound III) and a benzenesulphonic acid derivative representing the glibenclamide molecule devoid of its cyclohexylurea moiety (compound IV). At pH 7.4 compound IV is only present in charged form. 2. Lipid solubility declined in the order tolbutamide > compound III > compound IV. 3. The dissociation constant (KD) for binding of compound IV to the sulphonylurea receptor in HIT-cells (pancreatic beta-cell line) was similar to the KD value for tolbutamide and fourfold higher than the KD value for compound III. 4. In mouse pancreatic beta-cells, drug concentrations inhibiting adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive K+ channels (KATP-channels) half-maximally (EC50) were determined by use of the patch-clamp technique. When the drugs were applied to the extracellular side of outside-out or the intracellular side of inside-out membrane patches, the ratio of extracellular to intracellular EC50 values was 281 for compound IV, 25.5 for compound III and 1.2 for tolbutamide. 5. In mouse pancreatic beta-cells, measurement of KATP-channel activity in cell-attached patches and recording of insulin release displayed much higher EC50 values for compound IV than inside-out patch experiments. A corresponding, but less pronounced difference in EC50 values was observed for compound III, whereas the EC50 values for tolbutamide did not differ significantly. 6. It is concluded that the sulphonylurea receptor is located at the cytoplasmic face of the beta-cell plasma membrane. Receptor activation is induced by the anionic forms of sulphonylureas and their analogues.

Abstract
In ulcerative colitis and polyposis coli, creation of an ileal pouch with ileoanal anastomosis after proctocolectomy has become a common surgical method. The aim of our study was to characterize the adaptation of the epithelial ion transport function in the pouch by using electrophysiologic techniques. Proctocolectomy and ileoanal anastomosis was performed in rats either with (pouch) or without (control) creation of an ileal J-pouch. To characterize the epithelial barrier function, impedance analysis was performed 6 months after surgery. Epithelial resistance was 29 +/- 2 omega.cm2 in controls and was unchanged in the pouch (28 +/- 4 omega.cm2; NS). In contrast, subepithelial resistance increased from 33 +/- 3 omega.cm2 to 54 +/- 5 omega.cm2 (P < 0.01) owing to work hypertrophy of the muscle layers in the pouch. To detect changes in net ion transport, ion tracer fluxes were measured in the Ussing chamber. In control ileum, absorptive net Na and Cl fluxes of similar magnitude were present, indicating that electroneutral NaCl absorption was the predominant ion transport system. Neither Isc nor net Na and Cl fluxes were significantly altered in the pouch. Glucose-coupled Na absorption was measured as the 3-o-methyl-glucose-induced increase in Isc. Km remained unaltered, while Vmax decreased from 7.5 +/- 2.1 mu eq.h-1 cm-2 in controls to 1.7 +/- 0.8 mu eq.h-1 cm-2 (P < 0.05) in the pouch. Then, maximal transport capacity for electrogenic Cl secretion was measured as the Cl-induced increase in Isc blockable by serosal bumetanide (in the presence of theophylline and prostaglandin E1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The hepatic uptake of two sulfonylureas, glisoxepide and glibenclamide, was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Two transport processes were defined: passive physical diffusion and saturable carrier transport. For diffusion at pH 7.4 the permeability coefficients were 3.3 x 10(-6) cm/s for glisoxepide and 10.6 x 10(-6) cm/s for glibenclamide. Saturable uptake differed among the sulfonylureas. Glibenclamide uptake was neither energy- nor sodium-dependent and temperature dependence was linear. The apparent activation energy for saturable glibenclamide uptake was 15.2 kJ/mol and Q10 values for uptake between 7 and 37 degrees C were 1.17 +/- 0.12. Saturable glibenclamide uptake exhibited a Km = 3.1 microM and a Vmax = 416 pmol/mg cell protein per min. Thus glibenclamide uptake was defined kinetically as a facilitated diffusion process. Glisoxepide uptake revealed two Km values: Km1 = 2-3 microM and Vmax1 = 200 pmol/mg protein per min, and Km2 = 110 microM and Vmax2 = 1600 pmol/mg protein per min. Uptake at low and high substrate concentration was energy-dependent, sodium-dependent and was inhibited by ouabain. Temperature dependence increased markedly beyond 22 degrees C and the apparent activation energy was 59.7 kJ/mol at low Km1 glisoxepide concentrations and 60.3 kJ/mol at high Km2 concentrations. Whereas glisoxepide was slowly taken up into AS-30D hepatoma cells, glibenclamide was not. The hepatic uptake of glibenclamide was not inhibited by glisoxepide but glibenclamide inhibited glisoxepide uptake. The inhibition by glibenclamide was noncompetitive. Isolated hepatocytes accumulated the sulfonylureas markedly and metabolized both. The metabolized radioligands were slowly released into the incubation buffer. The results indicate that the hepatic uptake of the two sulfonylureas is by carrier-mediated transport. The uptake processes are, however, strikingly different, indicating heterogeneity of sulfonylurea transporters.

Abstract
The adaptational changes of epithelial ion transport in the short bowel syndrome were studied. Ileal remnants of rats were investigated 8 weeks after 70% proximal small intestinal resection. Pure epithelial resistance measured by impedance analysis decreased from 27 +/- 1 to 21 +/- 1 omega.cm2, and polyethylene glycol 4000 fluxes increased from 2.5 +/- 0.3 to 3.6 +/- 0.3 nmol.h-1.cm-2, indicating increased permeability of the short bowel. Unidirectional flux measurements in control ileum showed absorptive net fluxes of Na+ and Cl- that were assigned to electroneutral NaCl absorption and a short-circuit current that was accounted for by the residual flux (HCO3- secretion). Neither NaCl absorption nor HCO3- secretion were altered in the short bowel. Also, electrogenic Cl- secretion, defined after maximal stimulation by theophylline and prostaglandin E1 was not changed in the short bowel. In contrast, electrogenic Na+/glucose cotransport increased in Vmax from 2.0 +/- 0.3 in controls to 5.0 +/- 1.0 mumol.h-1.cm-2 in the short bowel. Tight junction structure was studied by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. The number of horizontal strands was unchanged, whereas tight junction depth was slightly increased in the short bowel. Microvillus area of short bowels was increased by 20% in villus regions. Under the light microscope, villus height was increased by 30%. In conclusion, the short bowel mucosa undergoes adaptive responses to reduced overall absorptive area by increasing glucose-dependent electrogenic Na+ absorption to 250%, which is partly caused by increased villus and microvillus surface area. Electrogenic Cl- and HCO3- secretion and electroneutral NaCl absorption remained unchanged. The decreased epithelial resistance is caused by mucosal surface amplification.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contributes to renal cellular injury. alpha-Keto acids nonenzymatically reduce H2O2 to water while undergoing decarboxylation at the 1-carbon (1-C) position. We examined, in vitro and in vivo, the protective role of sodium pyruvate in H2O2-induced renal injury. Pyruvate effectively scavenged H2O2 in vitro, and suppressed H2O2-induced renal lipid peroxidation. Injury to LLC-PK1 cells induced by hydrogen peroxide was attenuated by pyruvate to an extent comparable to that seen with catalase. Studies utilizing [1-14C]pyruvate further demonstrated 1-C decarboxylation concurrent with cytoprotection by pyruvate from H2O2-induced injury. Pyruvate was also protective in vivo. Infusion of pyruvate before and during the intrarenal infusion of H2O2 attenuated H2O2-induced proteinuria. Systemic administration of pyruvate was also protective in the glycerol model of acute renal failure, a model also characterized by increased generation of H2O2. These findings indicate that pyruvate, a ubiquitous alpha-keto acid, scavenges H2O2 and protects renal tissue in vitro and in vivo from H2O2-mediated injury. These data suggest a potential therapeutic role for pyruvate in diseases in which increased generation of H2O2 is incriminated in renal damage.

Abstract
A simple and rapid procedure was developed for the reconstitution of Na(+)-dependent phosphate-transport activity from bovine kidney brush-border membranes. The phosphate transporter appears to be particularly sensitive to extraction conditions. To prevent its inactivation, the phosphate carrier was solubilized in a buffer containing its substrates, Na+ and phosphate, CHAPS, dithiothreitol, brush-border membrane lipids and glycerol. The uptake of phosphate by reconstituted vesicles was strongly stimulated by the presence of a transmembrane Na+ gradient. This stimulation was abolished when the Na+ gradient was dissipated by monensin. The affinity of the carrier for phosphate was similar in proteoliposomes and in brush-border membrane vesicles (apparent Kt = 40 microM). The transporter was also stimulated by the presence of a high concentration of phosphate on the trans side of the membrane. The reconstituted transport activity was inhibited by arsenate, a known inhibitor of phosphate transport. However, the bovine phosphate carrier, intact or reconstituted, was much less sensitive to inhibition by phosphonoformic and phosphonoacetic acids than were those of other species studied so far. SDS/PAGE revealed that only a small number of brush-border membrane proteins were incorporated into the proteoliposomes. This reconstitution procedure should be useful for the purification and identification of the carrier protein.

The existence of an endogenous Na(+)-glutamate cotransporter in the oocytes of Xenopus laevis is demonstrated. The transporter does not accept D-glutamate as substrate. The dependence on substrate displays two saturating components with low (K1/2 = 9 mM) and high (K1/2 = 0.35 microM) affinities for L-glutamate. The dependence on external Na+ exhibits a saturating component with a K1/2 value of about 5 mM and a component that has not saturated up to 110 mM Na+. In voltage-clamped oocytes, it is possible to demonstrate that Na(+)-dependent L-glutamate transport is directly coupled to countertransport of Rb+. The analysis of the voltage dependence of the Na+,K(+)-dependent L-glutamate uptake suggests that positive charges are moved inwardly during the transport cycle.

Abstract
Sodium-independent phosphate transport was evaluated in porcine renal basolateral membrane vesicles. Phosphate uptake was saturable with an apparent Km 10.1 +/- 1.2 mM and Vmax 13.6 +/- 2.0 nmol (mg protein)-1 min-1, n = 5. Phosphate uptake was trans-stimulated with intravesicle phosphate and was enhanced with a positive transmembrane electrical potential. Arsenate and bicarbonate inhibited phosphate transport but other anions including sulfate and phosphonoformate were without effect. These studies indicate that phosphate uptake across basolateral membranes is present in the absence of sodium, is facilitated, and is specific for phosphate. The apparent affinity and rate of phosphate transport across the basolateral membrane is significantly higher than the respective parameters observed for the brush-border membrane.

Abstract
We have analysed the mechanisms of Na(+)-dependent pHi recovery from an acid load in LLC-PK1/Clone4 and LLC-PK1/PKE20 cells by using the intracellular pH indicator 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl ester. By analysis using single-cell microspectrofluorometry, we obtained evidence for polarized expression of Na+/H+ exchange activities with different properties in apical and basolateral cell surfaces, respectively. In Clone4 cells, Na+/H+ exchange activity is only visible on the basolateral cell surface; in PKE20 cells, Na+/H+ exchange activities with equal capacities are present on both cell surfaces. In Clone4 cells, the apparent Km value for Na+ is around 10 mM; in PKE20 cells it is around 20 mM and indistinguishable for the two cell poles. Ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA) inhibition for all three activities measured in monolayer configuration is reduced by increasing Na+ concentration. Measured in the same cells, EIPA inhibition of transport of PKE20 cells is weaker for apical Na+/H+ exchange as compared to basolateral activity. In Clone4 and PKE20 cells kept in suspension, Na+/H+ exchange activities with similar properties for the two cell lines are observed. However, Na+/H+ exchange activities in cells in suspension are different from either activity measured in monolayer configuration: affinity for Na+ is higher (PKE20 cells) and inhibition by amiloride is weak and not influenced by increasing Na+ concentrations (PKE20 and Clone4 cells). It is concluded that PKE20 cells contain different Na+/H+ exchange activities on the two cell surfaces; this cell line should be a useful model to study regulatory aspect of different Na+/H+ exchange functions ("epithelial'/"housekeeping').(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
MDCK cells, when examined by low-light level video microscopy displayed an endogenous fluorescence with two differing patterns. A low intensity emission which was punctate and associated with cell organelles was observed with emission and excitation conditions generally used to observe either fluorescein (450-500 nm excitation/greater than 510 nm emission) or rhodamine (514 nm excitation/greater than 530 emission) type dyes. A second 5- to 10-fold brighter emission for 450-500 nm excitation was observed, which was unusual in that each cell appeared to be outlined. Evidence obtained from spectroscopy and from using culture media of altered composition supported the conclusion that the water-soluble vitamin riboflavin accumulated in the basolateral spaces and fluid-filled "domes" and was the source of this fluorescent emission. Quantitative measurements showed that exposure to cultures to 10 microM riboflavin resulted in accumulation in domes of 565 +/- 80 microM. The transport rate was calculated to be 189 +/- 30 pmol/min-cm2. One mM probenecid, a known inhibitor of riboflavin transport in vivo, reduced transport to 54% of control, while 10 mM nearly abolished the uptake. The results demonstrate that removal of riboflavin reduces MDCK cell fluorescence to levels compatible with low-light level imaging. Furthermore, these cells actively transport riboflavin and provide a new in vitro model for this process.

Abstract
The inclusion in oral rehydration solutions of solutes that are actively co-transported with sodium has been suggested as a means of increasing the effect of glucose on water absorption by the small intestine. Using a modified perfusion system we have examined water and solute absorption in the normal human intestine from two effervescent glucose-electrolyte solutions, containing either citrate or betaine hydrochloride, and compared the absorption rates with those from a commonly used bicarbonate-containing oral rehydration solution. Absorption of citrate (355 +/- 87 mumol/cm/h) and betaine (313 +/- 125 mumol/cm/h) occurred from the respective solutions. The inclusion of 46 mmol/l citrate or 36 mmol/l betaine in effervescent oral rehydration solutions had no effect on water or solute absorption.

Abstract
Amino acids are reabsorbed from the tubular lumen by a saturable, carrier-mediated, concentrative transport mechanism driven by a Na+ electrochemical gradient across the luminal membrane. This process is followed by efflux mainly via carrier-mediated, Na+-independent facilitated diffusion across the basolateral membrane. Individual amino acids may have two or more Na+-dependent transport systems with different kinetic characteristics along the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule, thereby enabling very efficient amino acid reabsorption. Dual Na+-coupled transport pathways for some amino acids located in both the luminal and the peritubular membranes may operate in concert to provide the tubular epithelial cell with essential nutrients. One or more Na+ ions, H+, Cl- and in the case of acidic amino acids, K+ ion, may be involved in the translocation of the carrier complex. For most amino acids this process is electrogenic positive, favored by a negative cell interior. At least seven distinct, but largely interacting, Na+-dependent amino acid transport systems have been identified in the brush border membrane. A diet-induced adaptation in Na+-coupled taurine transport and acidosis-induced adaptive response in Na+-dependent glutamine transport are expressed at the luminal and the basolateral membrane surfaces, respectively. The aminoaciduria of early life may be related to a rapid dissipation of the Na+ electrochemical gradient necessary for amino acid reabsorption.

Abstract
In vivo manipulations to alter renal Pi reabsorption and the subsequent isolation of proximal tubular brush border membrane vesicles have greatly increased our knowledge about the regulation of renal Pi reabsorption via the Na+/Pi cotransport system. Only recently, direct biochemical and cell-biological access has become possible by the use of established and primary cell cultures. Based on the results obtained with isolated brush border membranes and cultured cells, a model has been presented, which might serve as a basis for future research of the regulatory control mechanisms of the renal Na+/Pi cotransport. At present, a major drawback is the fact that the molecular identity of the Na+/Pi cotransport system is still unknown. The identification of this transport system would certainly be a great step and would allow to verify or falsify one or the other hypotheses postulated in the past few years for the regulatory control mechanism(s) of the renal Na+/Pi cotransport.

Abstract
The regulation of bile acid transport in rat ileum was studied in vitro using the adenylate cyclase stimulator forskolin, or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Forskolin 20 microM as well as 100 microM IBMX enhanced mucosal cyclic AMP to 3-fold the control levels. As a physiological response, net fluid absorption in everted ileal sacs was reduced. Taurocholate (10-500 microM) transfer in everted perfused segments of rat ileum was measured using a three compartment dual label method suitable for measuring active transport. Transport asymmetry with absorption exceeding its counterflux by 26-fold, was measured at 500 microM taurocholate. Forskolin increased absorption of taurocholate still further, by 68%, and reduced the serosal to mucosal flux. Enhanced intracellular accumulation of taurocholate indicated a stimulatory action of forskolin on active transport at the mucosal brush-border membrane. In uptake studies, accumulation of taurocholate was enhanced by 100 microM IBMX also. Forskolin-induced uptake stimulation could also be shown for chenodeoxycholate and cholate. In the presence of the neuronal blocker tetrodotoxin, uptake stimulation was still effective. Results indicate that the ileal bile acid transporter is included within the group of sodium-dependent cotransporters of the rat small intestine which are subject to a cyclic AMP-related stimulation at the mucosal cellular level.

Abstract
In isolated perfused rabbit mandibular glands undergoing stimulation with 0.8 microM acetylcholine, replacement of HCO3- with acetate (25 mM) increased fluid secretion by more than 100%. Other short-chain fatty acids, except for propionate, had a similar effect. We focused our further studies on acetate, and in order to find out the cause of its stimulatory effect we investigated whether acetate itself was transported. In the absence of any other transportable anions 25 mM acetate supported secretion at the same rate as 25 mM HCO3- or 25 mM Cl-, i.e. 20% of the control rate. In solutions containing acetate as the only major anion (146 mM), fluid secretion was maintained at about 50% of the control rate. Amiloride (1 mM) inhibited this secretion by about 90%. In glands perfused with acetate/Cl- solutions, when the stimulatory effect was normally observed, amiloride (1 mM) inhibited secretion by 50-60% and SITS (0.1 mM) had no effect. Probenecid reversibly inhibited 75% of secretion in these glands, but it also inhibited 92% of secretion in glands perfused without any acetate. Interestingly, the acetate effect was abolished in glands stimulated with a higher concentration of acetylcholine (80 microM). Results of this study suggest that acetate can be transported by salivary endpieces and that this transport involves an amiloride-sensitive Na+-H+ antiport. We postulate that acetate may in addition have some regulatory or modifier role in salivary secretion.

Abstract
Characterization of the phosphate transport system across the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule has been attempted using isolated proximal tubule cells prepared from chicks. The Pi efflux system is independent of Na+ ions and is not influenced by the nature of the chief anion present in the bathing medium. Pi efflux is not sensitive to DIDS and it is concluded that a generalized anion transporter of band III type is not the chief agent for facilitating Pi exit from the cell across the basolateral membrane. Inhibition of efflux by vanadate is evidence for a specific carrier protein in the membrane. The carrier probably possesses thiol group(s) that are essential for activity. The carrier may effect electroneutral transport of Pi possibly in exchange for OH- ions. The activity of the transport process is not stimulated by depleting the cells of phosphate or inhibited by rearing the chicks on a vitamin D-deficient diet. The system is unlikely to be of great importance for the expression of various regulatory mechanisms that act on the kidney to control the excretion of Pi. The activity declines as the chicks mature however.

Abstract
A radioimmunoassay is described in which antigenic protein was immobilized by incubating nitrocellulose filters of defined diameter with antigen-containing solutions. The amount of adsorbed antigen increased in a linear fashion over a wide range of antigen concentrations. The antigen-antibody reactions and the indicator reactions were performed by incubating the filters with appropriate solutions. During the test any contact of the antigen with air was avoided. Antigenic sites which are sensitive to protein denaturation by drying could be detected with the assay. The assay was also used to screen hybridoma supernatants for antibodies directed against Na+ cotransport proteins from renal brush-border membranes. Monoclonal antibodies were selected which showed different binding characteristics depending on whether or not substrates of Na+ cotransporters were present. Since binding of several antibodies was altered by two different substrates and not by non-transported control substances, these monoclonal antibodies were believed to interact with more than one transport system. One of the antibodies, which showed different antibody binding after addition of D-glucose or L-lactate, bound to a polypeptide component of the renal Na+-D-glucose cotransporter and was able to inhibit Na+ gradient-dependent D-glucose uptake in brush-border membrane vesicles (Koepsell, Korn, Raszeja-Specht, Bernotat-Danielowski, Ollig, 1988, J. Biol. Chem., in press). To investigate the effects of D-glucose and L-lactate on the binding of this antibody concentration dependence was measured. High and low affinity binding sites for D-glucose and L-lactate were characterized thereby demonstrating that the radioimmunoassay permits investigations of the properties of high and low affinity substrate binding sites.

Abstract
An Na+, Pi-binding protein has been extracted from kidney and intestinal brush-border membranes with an organic solvent and has been purified by Kieselghur and Sephadex LH-60 chromatography. The molecular mass of this protein has been estimated to be about 155 kDa as determined by gel-filtration chromatography on Sepharose 2B. Under denaturing conditions, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed a monomer of molecular mass about 70 kDa. The protein has high specificity and high affinity for Pi [K0.5 (concentration at which half-maximal binding is observed) near 10 microM]. Na2+ binding also exhibits saturation behaviour, with a K0.5 near 7.5 mM. Pi binding is inhibited by known inhibitors of Pi transport in brush-border membrane vesicles. It appears that this protein could be involved in Na+/Pi co-transport across the renal and intestinal brush-border membranes.

Abstract
Phosphate uptake by rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles was studied under experimental conditions where transmembrane electrical potential (delta psi) could be manipulated. Experiments were performed under initial rate conditions to avoid complications associated with the dissipation of ion gradients. First, phosphate uptake was shown to be strongly affected by the nature of Na+ co-anions, the highest rates of uptake being observed with 100 mM-NaSCN (1.010 +/- 0.086 pmol/5 s per micrograms of protein) and the lowest with 50 mM-Na2SO4 (0.331 +/- 0.046 pmol/5 s per micrograms of protein). Anion substitution studies showed that potency of the effect of the co-anions was in the order thiocyanate greater than nitrate greater than chloride greater than isethionate greater than gluconate greater than sulphate, which correlates with the known permeability of the membrane to these anions and thus to the generation of transmembrane electrical potentials of decreasing magnitude (inside negative). The stimulation by ion-diffusion-induced potential was observed from pH 6.5 to 8.5, indicating that the transport of both monovalent and divalent phosphate was affected. In addition, inside-negative membrane potentials were generated by valinomycin-induced diffusion of K+ from K+-loaded vesicles and showed a 57% stimulation of phosphate uptake, at pH 7.5. Similar experiments with H+-loaded vesicles, in the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone gave a 50% stimulation compared with controls. Inside-positive membrane potentials were also induced by reversal of the K+ gradient (outside greater than inside) in the presence of valinomycin and gave 58% inhibition of phosphate uptake. The membrane-potential dependency of phosphate uptake was finally analysed under thermodynamic equilibrium, and a stimulation by inside-negative potential was observed. The transport of phosphate was thus driven against a concentration gradient by a membrane potential, implicating the net transfer of a positive charge during the translocation process. These results indicate a major contribution of electrical potential to phosphate uptake in renal brush-border membranes.

Abstract
Why has the PAH transport system proven so difficult to characterize? The major problems appear to arise in three areas: species differences, differences in methodology, e.g., vesicle preparation techniques, and multiplicity of related transport systems. Species differences are certainly important in some areas, e.g., the luminal membrane where the same investigators have shown the presence of an anion exchanger capable of transporting PAH in rat and dog but not in rabbit. Since all of these species effectively secrete PAH, one must question whether or not the primary luminal component of the PAH secretory system has yet been identified. Other species differences have also been described. For example, the amphibian, Necturus, demonstrates bidirectional organic anion transport, including an uphill luminal step and the urinary bladders of certain species of crustaceans show net reabsorption, whereas the bladders of other species show net secretion of PAH. However, these differences may well prove to be important tools in assessing PAH transport, since amplification of specific pathways and the increased experimental control possible in intact tissue preparations from some of these species, e.g., flounder, snake and amphibian tubules or crustacean urinary bladder, may facilitate resolution of many of the remaining uncertainties. Species differences cannot explain the wide variety of results reported for the basolateral membrane transport step, since many of the conflicting studies were done in the same species. Difficulties inherent in vesicle techniques have been discussed above (Subsection III-A2), and emphasize the need to correlate such data with intact tissue preparations. However, the major source of confusion appears to be related to the ability of PAH to interact with several transport systems, directly or indirectly. Thus, despite the preponderance of evidence showing that the PAH transport system at the basolateral membrane is distinct from those for sulfate, mono- and dicarboxylic acids, acidic amino acids, and uric acid, there remains the real possibility that under physiological conditions: PAH may be a minor substrate for these other systems, substrates for other systems may inhibit PAH transport directly through competition for the PAH carrier or indirectly through competition for the same energy source, and entry of a substrate on one system may trans-stimulate PAH uptake on another. Furthermore, the existence of multiple systems may explain the inability of certain manipulations, e.g., Na gradient dissipation in vivo, to block PAH transport. PAH entry may simply increase via another pathway, e.g., anion exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Membrane potentials and intracellular pH were measured on rat renal proximal tubular cells in vivo to test whether sodium-bicarbonate cotransport across the peritubular cell membrane accepts OH- (or H+ in opposite direction) or whether it requires the CO2, HCO3-, CO3= buffer to operate. It was found that step changes of peritubular pH in nominally HCO3(-)-free and CO2-free solutions produced qualitatively similar initial potential responses and cell pH responses as changes in peritubular HCO3- concentrations. These responses, however, were considerably smaller and they were neither reduced in Na+-free solutions nor inhibited by the stilbene derivative SITS which is known to block Na+ (HCO3-)n cotransport completely. We conclude that the cotransporter requires the CO2, HCO3-, CO3= buffer for its physiological operation but that high rates of OH- or H+ can also be transferred across the peritubular cell membrane in HCO3(-)-free solutions, probably through a separate transport system.

Abstract
A previous study (Sund & Lauterbach 1986) in the isolated guinea pig mucosa showed a complex pattern of 1-naphthol (I) metabolism and metabolite (glucuronide = II and sulphate = III) transport in relation to tissue studied (jejunum and colon) and administration side (lumen versus blood side). In the present paper aspects of I metabolism and II and III transport have been further studied. The experiments involved: Omission of inorganic sulphate in the incubation solution at one particular side or at both sides, to see if and how intestinal sulphoconjugation depended on side of sulphate ion entry, and if II and III efflux might be linked to sulphate ion influx. Similar omission experiments with inorganic phosphate, and Incubation in presence of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (IV), a drug claimed to be a selective inhibitor of sulphoconjugation. The experiments showed: In the jejunum, sulphate ion caused a much stronger stimulation of III formation from the lumen than from the blood side, when I was added at the luminal side. In the colon, however, the sulphate ion was more effective on the blood side than on the lumen side, regardless of side at which I was added. More experiments are needed to clarify if conjugate efflux is affected by sulphate ion omission as well. Omission of inorganic phosphate did neither affect I metabolism nor II and III efflux. IV (present at both sides at once) had complex effects, involving inhibition of II and III synthesis as well as their efflux, and, in part, a change in their normal lumen: blood distribution pattern.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Self-filling blind loops of rat jejunum were used as a model for the blind loop syndrome in humans. Electrical resistance, short circuit current, and unidirectional sodium and chloride fluxes were measured using the Ussing technique. Whereas net fluxes for sodium and chloride did not differ significantly from zero in the blind loop or in the control, unidirectional fluxes of either direction were decreased and electrical resistance was increased, indicating an increase in the tightness of the intestinal wall. Measurements of alternating current impedance and micropuncture experiments revealed that this was due to an increase in epithelial resistance from 9 +/- 1 omega X cm2 (n = 15, results of both methods) to 27 +/- 4 omega X cm2 (n = 15) and in subepithelial resistance from 40 +/- 2 omega X cm2 (n = 15) to 76 +/- 7 omega X cm2 (n = 15). As the ratio of epithelial to subepithelial resistance was similar in the blind loop and in the control, lower transport rates in the blind loop are indicative of impaired epithelial transport function. Subsequently, two different transport systems were characterized. First, the 3-o-methyl-glucose-induced, phlorizin-reversible increase in short circuit current, representing glucose-coupled sodium absorption, showed a 77% decrease in maximum velocity in the blind loop and no change in Km. Second, the chloride-induced, bumetanide-reversible increase in short circuit current in tissues stimulated simultaneously by prostaglandin E1 and theophylline, representing rheogenic chloride secretion, also showed a decrease in maximum velocity (of 83%) and no change in Km. A morphometric analysis revealed that the crypt surface area increased by 100% in the blind loop, whereas the villous surface area was not significantly different between blind loops and controls. We conclude that the jejunal self-filling blind loop is characterized by impaired active ion transport processes and an increase in epithelial and subepithelial resistance.

Abstract
LLC-PK1 cells (a continuous epithelioid cell line with renal characteristics) are examined by microspectrofluorometry as single cells, in order to determine the mechanism of intracellular pH (pHi) recovery from an acid load imposed by ammonium preincubation and removal (NH4 prepulse). Initial experiments evaluate the intracellular K+ levels through a null point analysis of total cellular K+ with flame photometry. The response of BCECF (a pH-sensitive fluorescent dye) is then calibrated, using saturating concentrations of nigericin to cause defined changes in pH. For experiments with the microspectrofluorometer, LLC-PK1 cells were grown on either glass coverslips or filters (the latter attached to plastic coverslips with a hole under the filter). The cells on glass coverslips demonstrate a Na+-dependent recovery from an (NH4 prepulse) acid load which is sensitive to 1 microM ethylisopropylamiloride. They also demonstrate a 'set point' of activation of Na+/H+ exchange. When examined for changes in pH, due to changes in membrane potential, plasma membrane proton conductance could not be detected at resting pHi. Cells grown on filters also demonstrate a pHi recovery from an acid load which is Na+ dependent and ethylisopropylamiloride sensitive, but in this configuration, the majority of cells (22/23 preparations) require Na+ at the basolateral membrane for rapid pHi recovery. The morphology and polarity of the cells grown on permeable supports appears normal at the electron-microscopic level. The results are not affected by changes in cell seeding density or collagen treatment of the filters.

Abstract
Cholinergically stimulated Cl and HCO3 transport in perfused rabbit mandibular glands has been studied with extracellular anion substitution and administration of transport inhibitors. In glands perfused with HCO3-free solutions, replacement of Cl with other anions supported secretion in the following sequence: Br = greater than Cl greater than I = greater than NO3 greater than isethionate. Furosemide, 1.0 and 0.1 mmol/l, inhibited Cl-supported secretion by 97-99% and 70-78%, respectively. SITS, 0.1 mmol/l, had no effect and amiloride, 1.0 mmol/l, caused a 55-65% inhibition. Addition of SITS to amiloride-treated glands produced no further effect. In glands perfused with Cl-free solutions, but containing 25 mM HCO3, amiloride, 1.0 mmol/l, inhibited secretion by 95% and methazolamide, 0.1 mmol/l, by 55%. In glands perfused with solutions containing both HCO3 and Cl, furosemide had smaller effects than in glands perfused with solutions containing only Cl - a dose of 1.0 mmol/l inhibited 60% of the initial fast phase of secretion, and 90% of the later plateau phase, while a dose of 0.1 mmol/l inhibited 30% of the initial phase, but had no effect on the plateau. SITS, 0.1 mmol/l, actually stimulated secretion by about 30%, but when infused in addition to furosemide (0.1 mmol/l), it inhibited by about 20%. Amiloride (1.0 mmol/l) caused no inhibition. The results suggest that there are at least three distinct carriers in the rabbit mandibular gland. One is a furosemide-sensitive Na-coupled Cl (probably Na-K-2Cl) symport, responsible for the bulk of normal secretion. The others are an amiloride-sensitive Na-H antiport and a SITS-sensitive Cl-HCO3 antiport.

Abstract
The effects of forskolin on mucosal cyclic AMP levels and active transport of glycine, L-lysine and L-leucine were studied in rat jejunum in vitro. Furthermore, the effects on lysine and glycine incorporation into mucosal protein and on mucosal cell volume were investigated. Elevation of intestinal mucosal cyclic AMP to threefold control levels by 10 mumol 1(-1) forskolin was accompanied by increased absorption of glycine (+33%), L-leucine (+72%) and L-lysine (+188%), as determined in a three compartment model suitable to measure active transport. Increased intracellular accumulation could be demonstrated for lysine as a transport substrate. Accordingly, using a dual label method, calculated values for uphill transport of lysine at the site of the brush border membrane were markedly enhanced. Forskolin up to 10 mumol 1(-1) had no effects on the fraction of lysine or glycine incorporated into TCA-precipitable proteins of jejunal absorptive cells. Serosal to mucosal transfer, as well as basolateral entry into mucosal cells remained unchanged for all three amino acids. Likewise, intracellular fluid space, calculated from distribution spaces for 14C-inulin and 3H2O as well as the response of cellular volume to an osmotic gradient were not affected by forskolin. As comparable stimulatory effects of forskolin on active hexose transport were reported earlier, it is suggested that forskolin - known to inhibit sodium-coupled fluid absorption - may stimulate active transport by enhancing sodium availability for sodium dependent intestinal cotransporters in general.

Abstract
In the case of the red blood cell, anion transport is a highly specific one-for-one exchange catalyzed by a major membrane protein known as band 3 or as capnophorin. This red cell anion-exchange system mediates the Cl-(-)HCO3- exchange responsible for most of the bicarbonate transport capacity of the blood. The rapidly expanding knowledge of the molecular biology and the transport kinetics of this specialized transport system is very briefly reviewed in Section III. Exchange diffusion mechanisms for anions are found in many cells other than erythrocytes. The exchange diffusion system in Ehrlich cells has several similarities to that in red cells. In several cell types (subsection IV-B), there is evidence that intracellular pH regulation depends on Cl-(-)HCO3- exchange processes. Anion exchange in other single cells is described in Section IV, and its role in pH regulation is described in Section VII. Anion exchange mechanism operating in parallel with, and only functionally linked to Na+-H+ or K+-H+ exchange mechanisms can also play a role in cell volume regulation as described in Section VII. In the Ehrlich ascites cell and other vertebrate cells, electroneutral anion transfer has been found to occur also by a cotransport system for cations and chloride operating in parallel with the exchange diffusion system. The cotransport system is capable of mediating secondary active chloride influx. In avian red cells, the cotransport system has been shown to be activated by adrenergic agonists and by cyclic AMP, suggesting that the cotransport is involved in regulatory processes (see subsection V-A.). In several cell types, cotransport systems are activated and play a role during volume regulation, as described in Section V and in Section VII. It is also likely that this secondary active cotransport of chloride plays a significant role for the apparently active extrusion of acid equivalents from certain cells. If a continuous influx of chloride against an electrochemical gradient is maintained by a cotransport system, the chloride disequilibrium can drive an influx of bicarbonate through the anion exchange mechanism, as described in Section VII. Finally, even the electrodiffusion of anions is shown to be regulated, and in Ehrlich cells and human lymphocytes an activation of the anion diffusion pathway plays a major role in cell volume regulation as described in Section VI and subsection VII-B.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The transport of cephalosporin antibiotics in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from rat small intestine has been studied by a rapid filtration technique, demonstrating a carrier-mediated transport system for aminocephalosporins such as cephradine. In agreement with the transport mechanisms of dipeptides, the uptake of cephradine by brush-border membrane vesicles was Na+-independent and was stimulated in the presence of an inward H+ gradient ([H+]o greater than [H+]i). Cephradine uptake in the presence of an inward H+ gradient was a saturable process with an apparent Km of 9.4 mM, and was markedly inhibited by dipeptides but not inhibited by amino acids. The present data suggest that aminocephalosporins can be transported by a common carrier-mediated system with dipeptides in the intestinal brush-border membranes and this process may be driven by an H+ gradient.

Abstract
Biotin transport was studied using brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit kidney cortex. An inwardly directed Na+ gradient stimulated biotin uptake into brush-border membrane vesicles and a transient accumulation of the anion against its concentration gradient was observed. In contrast, uptake of biotin by basolateral membrane vesicles was found to be Na+-gradient insensitive. Generation of a negative intravesicular potential by valinomycin-induced K+ diffusion potentials or by the presence of Na+ salts of anions of different permeabilities enhanced biotin uptake by brush-border membrane vesicles, suggesting an electrogenic mechanism. The Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of biotin into brush-border membrane vesicles was saturable with an apparent Km of 28 microM. The Na+-dependent uptake of tracer biotin was significantly inhibited by 50 microM biotin, and thioctic acid but not by 50 microM L-lactate, D-glucose, or succinate. Finally, the existence in both types of membrane vesicles of a H+/biotin- cotransport system could not be demonstrated. These results are consistent with a model for biotin reabsorption in which the Na+/biotin- cotransporter in luminal membranes provides the driving force for uphill transport of this vitamin.

Abstract
Suspensions of LLC-PK1 cells (a continuous epitheliod cell line with renal characteristics) are examined for mechanisms of intracellular pH regulation using the fluorescent probe BCECF. Initial experiments determine suitable calibration procedures for use of the BCECF fluorescent signal. They also determine that the cell suspension contains cells which (after 4 hr in suspension) have Na+ and K+ gradients comparable to those of cells in monolayer culture. The steady-state intracellular pH (7.05 +/- 0.01, n = 5) of cells which have recovered in (pH 7.4) Na+-containing medium is not affected over several minutes by addition of 100 microM amiloride or removal of extracellular Na+ (Na+o less than 1 mM). In contrast, when the cells recover from an acid load (caused by NH4 preincubation and removal), the recovery is largely Na+ dependent and is sensitive to 100 microM amiloride. These results suggest that with resting pH near neutrality, both Na+o/H+i and Na+i/H+o exchange reactions are functionally inactive (compared to cellular buffering capacity). In contrast, Na+o/H+i exchange is activated by an increased cellular acid load. This activation may be observed directly either as a stimulation of net H+ efflux or net Na+ influx with decreasing intracellular pH. The extrapolation of this latter data suggests a "set point" of Na+/H+ exchange of approximately pH 7.0, consistent with the observed resting intracellular pH of approximately 7.05.

Abstract
The new calcium antagonist, nisoldipine, inhibited short circuit current and transcorneal potential difference in the isolated frog cornea (a chloride transporting epithelium). Transepithelial resistance increased. The effects of nisoldipine were dose-dependent. Nisoldipine did not change the stimulation of short circuit current induced by epinephrine. Intracellular membrane potential across both the apical and basolateral cell membrane were decreased by nisoldipine. The data indicate that intracellular calcium seemed to modulate chloride transport of the cornea by changing cell membrane permeability.
