Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the formation of the second-messenger cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). At least nine isoforms of AC have been cloned. These isoforms differ in their tissue distribution and basal activity. AC isoforms also differ in their capacity to be stimulated or inhibited by G protein alpha(i), alpha(s) and beta/gamma subunits, protein kinase C, and intracellular calcium. The distribution of ACs in the kidney is only partially known, although it is known that ACs play important roles in kidney signal transduction. Several receptors are known to couple to AC, but their linkage to individual AC isoforms in the kidney is not known. METHODS This study investigated the tissue distribution of AC isoforms along the nephron of Wistar-Kyoto rats using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting. RESULTS While AC VI and IX mRNA were found in all nephron segments, there was no expression of AC VIII mRNA. ACs II through V and VII mRNA were variably found in specific nephron segments. mRNA for AC isoforms II, III, VI, VII, and IX were expressed in renal proximal tubules. All of the AC isoforms studied, except VIII, were found in glomeruli. Immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry confirmed the mRNA results. AC isoforms II, III, IV, and IX were expressed in luminal rather than in basolateral membranes. However, immunohistochemical studies were not feasible for the other isoforms that could be expressed in basolateral membranes. CONCLUSION Knowledge of the distribution of ACs may help establish the linkage between receptors and specific AC isoforms and define their functions.

Abstract
The influence of the thiols L-cysteine (CYS), glutathione (GSH), and 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonate (DMPS) on the binding and transport of inorganic mercury (Hg2+) in luminal (brush-border) and basolateral membrane-vesicles isolated from the kidneys of rats was studied using radiolabeled mercury (203HgCl2). Membrane-vesicles were exposed to 1, 10, or 100 microM Hg2+ in the presence or absence of a 3:1 or 10:1 mole-ratio of CYS, GSH, or DMPS relative to Hg2+. Equilibration of mercury with the membrane-vesicles occurred very rapidly, essentially being complete within 5 sec. By 60 sec, binding accounted for 87-97% of intravesicular Hg2+ in the absence of exogenous thiols. All three thiols significantly reduced the fraction of binding, with DMPS being the most effective agent. CYS enhanced the association of Hg2+ with luminal membrane-vesicles relative to that when Hg2+ was added alone, suggesting that conjugation of Hg2+ with CYS promotes the transport of low concentrations of Hg2+. In contrast, an excess of either GSH or DMPS relative to Hg2+ interfered significantly with both the binding and transport of Hg2+ into either luminal or basolateral membrane-vesicles. In summary, the present study is the first to describe the association of Hg2+ with renal luminal and basolateral membrane-vesicles. Evidence was obtained for the involvement of a Hg2+-CYS conjugate as a mechanism by which Hg2+ uptake and binding to luminal membranes occur and for an inhibitory effect of GSH and the chelator DMPS with regard to Hg2+ uptake and binding, demonstrating that extracellular thiols can modulate significantly the renal accumulation of Hg2+.

Abstract
Size-exclusion chromatography with controlled pore glass (CPG) was used in the further purification of renal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated by the Ca precipitation method. The BBMV obtained had an almost spherical shape and their average diameter was about 95 nm in isotonic solution. The specific activities of alkaline phosphate and leucine aminopeptidase in the BBMV preparation were increased 18- and 17-fold, respectively, over those in the crude homogenate. The uptake of D-glucose by the purified BBMV in the presence of a sodium gradient reached 8.53 nmol/mg protein at 20 s. These results indicate that CPG chromatography is suitable procedure by which to obtain purified renal BBMV of homogenous size and with high specific marker enzyme activity for use in the study of membrane transport.

Abstract
Endogenous calmodulin (CaM) in the EGTA-washed cerebral-cortical synaptosomal membrane (SM) preparation was estimated below 3 micrograms/ml protein by the semiquantitative immunoblot analysis (Natsukari, N., Ohta, H. and Fujita, M. (1989) J. Immunol. Methods 125, 159-166). Membrane-bound CaM was immunoelectron-microscopically demonstrated in EGTA-washed, non-treated (control), and Ca(2+)-treated cerebral-cortical synaptosomal membranes (SM) as well as for the SM enriched with added CaM. The density of CaM increased in the above order. CaM-dependent adenylate cyclase and CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-kinase II) activities were restored, whereas the phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity was not affected by exogenous CaM over all the Ca2+ concentrations tested. Adenylate cyclase at pCa 6.2 was synergistically activated either by GTP and CaM or by CaM and beta-adrenergic agonist, (+/-)-isoproterenol, reflecting the intactness of signal transduction pathway in the SM. Also demonstrated were the presence of protein kinase A, CaM-kinase II, and their endogenous substrates in the SM. Based on 32P-autoradiography and 125I-CaM overlay data certain CaM-binding proteins such as CaM-kinase II and synapsin I were identified on SDS-PAGE. Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent CaMBPs were distinguished by 125I-CaM gel overlay with and without Ca2+. The former had bigger molecular size (greater than or equal to 49 kDa) than the latter (less than or equal to 34 kDa). Yield of Ca(2+)-dependent CaMBPs was not affected by Ca2+ concentration during preparation of the SM while that of Ca(2+)-independent CaMBPs was reduced by exposure to 100 microM Ca2+. In contrast with the CaMBPs of brain SM, those of enterocyte and eyrthrocyte plasma membranes especially, microvillous membrane of the enterocyte, showed quite distinct CaMBP profiles. The present findings suggested that the EGTA-washed SM preparation made a useful system for studying the role of CaM in the brain SM.

Abstract
The effects of cysteine conjugates of styrene, e.g. S-1/2-(phenyl-hydroxyethyl) cysteine (PEC) and its N-acetyl derivative (NAPEC) on the transport of p-amino-hippurate (PAH) ion in plasma membranes were studied in vitro using isolated rat renal brush-border membrane (BBM) and basolateral membrane (BLM) vesicles. The uptake of PAH was significantly inhibited by both PEC and NAPEC in both the membrane vesicles, as verified by decrease of the membrane/medium concentration ratio of PAH as the concentration of either PEC or NAPEC in the medium increased. These results show that both PEC and NAPEC are capable of interfering with the accumulation of PAH (a model organic anion for renal tubular transport system) by both energy-independent and energy-dependent carrier-mediated transport processes. The inhibition of PAH uptake in BBM vesicles due to 10 mM PEC or NAPEC was found to be nearly competitive, almost similar to probenecid, whereas in BLM vesicles such inhibition was found to be partially noncompetitive, as verified by the double reciprocal plots. Both PEC and NAPEC showed dose-dependent inhibition of the specific activity of the marker enzyme in each membrane, e.g. gamma-glutamyl transferase in BBM and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in BLM vesicles. However, no such inhibition was noticed with probenecid. The in vitro pretreatment with probenecid prevented the inhibition of gamma-glutamyl transferase activity in BBM due to PEC or NAPEC, but such was not the case for the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in BLM. In conclusion, the data suggest that the transport of cysteine or N-acetylcysteine conjugates of styrene by renal proximal tubular cells across both the membrane vesicles accompanied by the inhibition of the membrane-specific enzymes may lead to cellular dysfunction and consequently to the initial development of their nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The effects of calmodulin (CaM), guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and dopaminergic or beta-adrenergic agonists on the activities of adenylate cyclase were studied in EGTA-washed lysed synaptosomal membranes from rat striatum and cerebral cortex. Based on the free calcium ion concentration-dependence of the enzymic activity, it was found that the stimulatory effect of CaM and GTP on adenylate cyclase was synergistic with maximum activation at pCa 6.2 for both striatal and cortical membranes. This was not due to the effect of CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase because exogenous CaM did not affect particulate phosphodiesterase activity. Added CaM not only enhanced the adenylate cyclase activity but acted cooperatively with dopaminergic or beta-adrenergic agonists in the presence of GTP. Most marked was enhancement found for the striatal SKF 38393- (a specific D1 agonist) and the cortical isoproterenol-dependent activities. A synergism was also found for CaM and forskolin. These findings strongly suggest that CaM is involved in the striatal dopaminergic as well as in the cortical beta-adrenergic systems.

Abstract
The effects of S-(2-chloroethyl)-DL-cysteine (CEC) (a potent nephrotoxin) on the transport of p-aminohippurate ion (PAH) in renal plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat renal cortex were studied in vitro. The uptake of PAH was significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in both the brush border membrane (BBM) and basolateral membrane (BLM) vesicles. These results demonstrate that CEC is capable of interfering with the accumulation of PAH (a model organic anion for renal tubular transport system) by both energy-independent and energy-dependent carrier-mediated transport processes. Probenecid, a typical inhibitor of the organic anion transport system, showed the highest inhibition of PAH uptake in both the membranes vesicles. These data indirectly suggest that transport by renal tubular cells may result in the accumulation of CEC in renal cellular organelles eventually in toxic concentrations. Thus, CEC showed both dose- and time-dependent inhibition of the activities of gamma-glutamyl transferase (a BBM marker enzyme) and Na+, K(+)-ATPase (a BLM marker enzyme), while no such inhibition was noticed with probenecid. Pretreatment with probenecid prevented the inhibition of the gamma-glutamyl transferase activity due to CEC in BBM, but failed to do so for the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in BLM vesicles. Thus, the data suggest that the inhibition of the activities of these membrane-specific enzymes by CEC could lead to the initial development of its nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) modulates renal tubular sodium transport by actions at both brush border (BBM) and basolateral membranes (BLM). DA receptors have been demonstrated in proximal tubule but the subtype of DA receptor in either BBM or BLM has not been determined. DA-1 receptors were quantitated by the specific binding of 125I-SCH 23982, a DA-1 antagonist (defined by 20 microM SCH 23390, a DA-1 antagonist) and DA-2 receptors by the specific binding of 3H-methyl-spiroperidol or 3H-spiroperidol (defined by 30 microM trifluperidol, a predominantly DA-2 antagonist). The specific binding of 125I-SCH 23982 and 3H-methyl-spiroperidol or 3H-spiroperidol were saturable with time and ligand concentration and reversible. Analysis of Rosenthal plots by non-linear regression revealed a high affinity site and a very low affinity site for both BLM and BBM. Maximum receptor density was similar in BBM and BLM. Competition experiments with 125I-SCH 23982 revealed high and low affinity binding sites in both BBM and BLM. The high affinity site was characteristic of a DA-1 receptor. Competition experiments with 3H-spiroperidol were also suggestive of DA-2 receptors. DA-1 but not DA-2 drugs increased adenylate cyclase and phospholipase-C activities in both BBM and BLM. However, their effects were greater in BLM than BBM. We conclude that DA-1 and DA-2 receptors are present in both BBM and BLM in canine kidney. Renal DA-1 receptors are linked to stimulation of both adenylate cyclase and phospholipase-C activity.

Abstract
The lipid composition of biological membranes determines many of the cellular responses to stimuli such as hormones and drugs. It is known that the neonate has differences in renal function compared to the adult individual, which determine the characteristics of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics at this age. We studied the lipid composition of renal plasma membranes, the renal response to water deprivation, and the activity of plasma membrane gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) in newborn, 21-d-old, and adult rat. It was found that the cholesterol/phospholipid (CH/PL) ratio of newborn membranes was significantly higher than that of membranes from 21-d-old and adult rats, which were similar. These findings paralleled low ability to concentrate urine in the newborn and higher sensitivity of the neonatal kidney to water deprivation. Kidney membranes from 21-d-old and adult rats showed similar lipid composition, and the response to water deprivation was also similar. The changes observed in GGTP activity at different ages varied with the cholesterol content of kidney plasma membranes. These findings suggest participation of the lipid composition of kidney membranes in modulation of the renal response to water deprivation.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity, but not forskolin-sensitive Na+-dependent Ca2+ efflux, was blunted in renal cortical cells from aged rats. PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity in renal membranes from senescent rats also declined, but forskolin-stimulated activity did not change. In addition, cholera toxin- and pertussis toxin-stimulated Na+-dependent Ca2+ efflux and cAMP formation were blunted in cells from aged animals. Further, cells from aged rats had decreased Gs-alpha and Gi-alpha proteins, as detected by ADP-ribosylation. These findings would be consistent with the proposal of an age-associated heterologous desensitization that involved the G-proteins. Serum concentrations of iPTH were increased in the old rat, suggesting that the desensitization to PTH in the aging rat represented an adaptive response to prolonged stimulation by the hormone. This hypothesis was supported by the findings that the attenuated PTH-sensitive Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity, cAMP formation, and adenylate cyclase activity in cells from old rats could be reversed by parathyroidectomy. The decreased label in cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylated Gs-alpha and pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylated Gi-alpha found in cells from aged rats was also largely negated by the surgery. In conclusion, the results suggest that the age-related blunting in the responses of renal cells to PTH was associated with a deficit in G-protein function and that this alteration could be reversed by removal of the parathyroid gland.

Abstract
The present study analyzed the changes in Na+-dependent sugar transport and transepithelial electrical resistance as LLC-PK1 cells reorganize into epithelial membranes. Sugar influx increased to reach a maximum 9 h after plating. The increase in the transepithelial electrical resistance, however, showed a significant delay, reaching steady state 15 h after plating. No changes in the electrochemical Na+ gradient were observed during the reorganization of the epithelial membranes. Kinetic analysis and [3H]phlorizin-binding studies showed that the increase in sugar influx resulted from an increase in the number of carriers. Unidirectional sugar influx measurements indicated that the sugar transporters were primarily located at the apical surface of the epithelial cells. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the sorting of native proteins occurs intracellularly before their insertion in the apical membrane, or as an alternative that they are randomly inserted, but then immediately sorted such as any carrier could be detected in the basolateral side during the reorganization process. In addition, the results suggest that the functional development of the apical membrane may occur before the complete sealing of the intercellular space during the development of the occluding junctions. Furthermore, development of the sugar transport system and occluding junctions was inhibited by cycloheximide and puromycin but not by actinomycin D, suggesting that the expression of epithelial cell polarization is probably a posttranslational event in the protein synthesis.

Abstract
The knowledge about intracellular regulatory cascades in hormone action has increased considerably over the last few years. Receptor occupation at the plasma membrane level results in a production of intracellular messengers, such as cyclic nucleotides (cAMP, cGMP), inositoltrisphosphate (IP3), diacylglycerol (DAG) and a rise in cytosolic calcium concentration. These messengers control the activity of different regulatory mechanisms which operate either in sequence or in parallel to generate the final biological response. In PTH-dependent regulation of renal phosphate transport, cAMP-dependent and calcium-dependent mechanisms are involved: Recent experiments with cultured renal epithelial cells have confirmed that activation of adenylate cyclase is the initial event. However, the cAMP signal can be bypassed and direct activation of protein kinase C seems to mimic PTH induced inhibition of phosphate transport. The final event in the regulatory cascade is most likely a removal of the phosphate transport system followed by a degradation.

Abstract
Rats received 0.1% lead acetate in their drinking water for 3 weeks or for 6 weeks, at which time renal brush border fractions were obtained for measurement of enzyme activity. Renal brush border preparations from Pb2+-exposed rats exhibited statistically significant decreases in the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alanine aminopeptidase after 3 or 6 weeks of treatment. There was an increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase which was statistically significant after 3 weeks of Pb2+ exposure. The (Na+,K+) adenosine triphosphatase activity and urokinase activity, located in the basolateral membrane fractions, were unchanged by Pb2+ exposure, as were the protein and phospholipid contents of the brush border fractions. The results are compared to those following acute exposure to Pb2+ or Cd2+.

Abstract
Basal-lateral membranous vesicles prepared from rabbit renal cortex exhibited Mg2+-stimulated, probenecid-inhibitable transport of p-aminohippurate (PAH). This uptake could be completely eliminated by incubating the membranes with trypsin at a weight ratio of 1:700 (trypsin/membrane protein). The loss of PAH uptake activity occurred in two stages. Over the first ten minutes of the vesicles' exposure to trypsin, there was a nearly linear loss, with respect to time, of about 80% of the PAH uptake activity. The remaining 20% of activity was resistant to further trypsin digestion for the next ten minutes, but by twenty-five minutes a total inactivation of the uptake activity occurred. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of normal and trypsin-treated vesicles showed very little degradation of proteins. However, two minor polypeptides (Mr - 410,000 and 388,000) were degraded during the first ten minutes of the membranes' exposure to trypsin. After twenty minutes of exposure, two other polypeptides (Mr = 94,500 and 87,500) were degraded. Chymotrypsin and clostripain also caused a loss of PAH transport activity. However, compared to the effects of trypsin, the effects of these two proteases were less complete, slower in onset, and for clostripain, a much higher concentration of enzyme was required. Other functions or properties of the vesicles including morphological appearance, degree of vesiculation, glucose space or Na+-dependent L-glutamate transport and Na+,K+-ATPase activity were not altered by the concentration of trypsin which abolished 80% of the transport of PAH. Thus, it is possible that one or more of the degraded polypeptides detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis comprises the PAH transporter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The in vitro incubation of chick renal cells with parathyroid hormone (PTH) resulted in the inhibition of Na+-dependent phosphate uptake when the cells were isolated from 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25-(OH)2D3]-repleted chicks but not when the cells came from vitamin D-deficient animals. Na+-independent phosphate and Na+-dependent alpha-methylglucoside uptakes were not affected by PTH and the vitamin D status of the bird. The activation of chick renal cell adenylate cyclase by PTH was significantly blunted when the enzyme was from vitamin D-deficient animals relative to the activation of the enzyme from repleted cockerels. This alteration was due to a change in maximum velocity of the system rather than an effect on the affinity for hormone. The response of adenylate cyclase to other hormones, e.g., prostaglandin E2, and activators, e.g., 5' -guanylyl-imidodiphosphate and forskolin, was not affected by the vitamin D status of the animal. PTH had little effect in activating protein kinase in cells from vitamin D-deficient chicks. In cells from vitamin D-sufficient birds, PTH caused a fourfold increase in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase. Dibutyryl cAMP inhibited Na+-dependent phosphate uptake by cells from 1,25-(OH)2D3-repleted animals, but the cyclic nucleotide had no effect on phosphate uptake in cells from vitamin D-depleted chicks. This finding suggests that the loss of PTH receptor sites known to be concomitant with the secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with vitamin D deficiency is only a partial explanation for the failure of PTH to inhibit phosphate uptake in cells from vitamin D-deficient animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Rats received one or two consecutive daily ip injections, each 0.5 mg Pb2+/100 g body weight, and the kidneys were studied 48 or 24 hr, respectively, after the injection. Renal brush border preparations from Pb2+-treated rats exhibited significant decreases in the activity of alanine aminopeptidase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, greater after two injections, yet the amount of brush border protein remained unchanged. Moreover, the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the brush border was significantly increased after Pb2+. No significant changes in urine volume, urinary protein, or enzymes could be detected in these experiments. The enzymatic changes observed in the brush border after acute exposure to Pb2+ contrasted with those after exposure to Hg2+ where both the structure and enzymatic functions were severely damaged and after exposure to Cd2+ where enzymatic alterations were not accompanied by cytological changes.

Abstract
Basal-lateral membranes from the renal cortex of the rabbit were isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation in a zonal rotor which allows for a large-scale preparation of these membranes. A heterogeneous population of membranes (P4) which contained 29% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase found in the homogenate of renal cortex was prepared by differential centrifugation. When pellet P4 was subjected to centrifugation in a sucrose gradient the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, a marker for basal-lateral membranes, could be separated from enzymatic markers of other organelles. The specific activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was enriched 12-fold at a density of 1.141 g/cm3. Membranes (P alpha) contained in the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-rich fractions consisted primarily of closed vesicles which exhibited probenecid inhibitable transport of rho-aminohippurate. These membranes did not exhibit Na+-dependent, phlorizin-inhibitable D-glucose transport. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins from P alpha revealed at least six major protein bands with molecular weights of 91000, 81000, 73000, 65000, 47000 and 38000. A small fraction of total alkaline phosphatase found in the homogenate was found in pellet P4. Membranes containing this alkaline phosphatase activity were distributed widely over the gradient, with peak activity found at a density of 1.141 g/cm3. In contrast, when brush borders were subjected to gradient centrifugation under the same conditions as P4, alkaline phosphatase was found in a narrow distribution, with peak activity at a density of 1.158 g/cm3. The principle subcellular localization of the alkaline phosphatase found in P4 could not be determined unambiguously from the data, but the activity did not seem to be primarily associated with classical brush borders.

Abstract
The localization of the membrane-associated thiol oxidase in rat kidney was investigated. Fractionation of the kidney cortex by differential centrifugation demonstrated that the enzyme is found in the plasma membrane. The crude plasma membrane was fractionated by density-gradient centrifugation on Percoll to obtain purified brush-border and basal-lateral membranes. Gamma-Glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase and aminopeptidase M were assayed as brush-border marker enzymes, and (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase was assayed as a basal-lateral-membrane marker enzyme. Thiol oxidase activity and distribution were determined and compared with those of the marker enzymes. Its specific activity was enriched 18-fold in the basal-lateral membrane fraction relative to its activity in the cortical homogenate, and its distribution paralleled that of (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase. This association indicates that thiol oxidase is localized in the same fraction as (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase, i.e. the basal-lateral region of the plasma membrane of the kidney tubular epithelium.

Abstract
Renal cells from Vitamin D-deficient and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3]-repleted chicks were isolated by a collagenase-hyaluronidase procedure. Exclusion of trypan blue and respiratory measurements indicate that the cells were functionally intact and metabolically active. The uptakes of phosphate and alpha-methylglucoside were stimulated markedly by Na+ in the extracellular medium. Phosphate uptake in the presence of Na+ was saturable with respect to phosphate concentration; half-maximal activity was obtained with approximately 0.2 mM. Three hours after 1,25-(OH)2D3 was injected into vitamin D-deficient chicks the Na+-dependent phosphate uptake by the isolated cells had increased about 40%, i.e., 2.00 compared with 1.44 nmol.min-1.mg protein-1. Phosphate uptake in the presence of K+ in the extracellular medium and alpha-methylglucoside uptake in the presence or absence of Na+ were unchanged. In a secondary response found 17 h after 1,25-(OH)2D3 injection, Na+-dependent phosphate uptake decreased. Serum concentrations of phosphorus and calcium were not measurably changed in the 3-h repleted bird, but both levels were increased 17 h after treatment. Administration of phosphate into vitamin D-deficient chicks, so that the serum concentration of phosphorus was raised to that of the 17-h 1,25-(OH)2D3 repleted animal, effected a comparable decrease in phosphate uptake. Serum calcium levels were not altered by this treatment. The actions of parathyroid hormone in stimulating adenylate cyclase and in inhibiting phosphate uptake were notably blunted in the vitamin D-deficient chick. Sensitivity to parathyroid hormone was not restored until several days after 1,25-(OH)2D3 repletion. These findings suggest that the initial response to 1,25-(OH)2D3, to increase renal phosphate uptake, and the secondary response, to decrease phosphate uptake, were by parathyroid hormone-independent processes. The results also indicate that the isolated renal cell represents an excellent model for studying the mechanism by which 1,25-(OH)2D3 regulates phosphate transport in the kidney.

Abstract
Four groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were dosed i.p. with 0, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.30 mmol Pb2+/kg as neutral acetate. A minimal kidney damage shown by an increased urinary GGt was only observed in males at the highest dose. In all animals and for all doses natriuria was significantly decreased on the first day (from the 4th hour). Such disturbances evoke mild tubular disturbances but glomerular disturbances may also be involved.

Abstract
Epithelia transport a variety of solutes and water. Study of such transport requires a determination of the driving forces responsible for transport, of the pathways through which transport occurs, and of the factors controlling such transport. Transepithelial driving forces are readily determined where the composition of the bathing media can be altered and electrical forces negated. Where substances move only through a paracellular pathway such manipulations may be adequate to define the permeability and selectivity of the pathways. For substances utilizing a cellular pathway, driving forces and permeabilities across the two dissimilar apical and basolateral cellular membranes must be determined. Where a substance can be shown to move across a membrane against its electrochemical potential gradient, the source of the energy for such movement must be assessed. This review focuses on the applicability and validity of a variety of techniques utilized for the study of epithelial transport to answer these questions. These include microelectrode techniques, chemical analyses, microprobe analysis, microscopy, and techniques for assessing the coupling of metabolism to transport.

Abstract
A procedure for preparing basolateral membrane vesicles from rat renal cortex was developed by differential centrifugation and Percoll density gradient centrifugation, and the uptake of D-[3H] glucose into these vesicles was studied by a rapid filtration technique. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, the marker enzyme for basolateral membranes, was enriched 22-fold compared with that found in the homogenate. The rate of D-glucose uptake was almost unaffected by Na+ gradient (no overshoot).

Abstract
1 Exogenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stimulates the short circuit current (SCC) in a cultured renal-derived epithelium (MDCK). Half-maximal stimulation is achieved at 1.91 X 10(-5) M ATP. 2 It is suggested that ATP interacts with a P2 purine receptor upon the basis of (a) agonist potency (ATP greater than adenosine diphosphate much greater than adenosine monophosphate, adenosine; ATP greater than uridine triphosphate greater than inosine triphosphate much greater than cytosine triphosphate, guanosine triphosphate); (b) the inhibition of the ATP response by quinidine (1 X 10(-3) M) but not by theophylline (1 X 10(-3) M). 3 Indomethacin (1 X 10(-5) M) inhibits the response of the cultured epithelium to ATP. 4 Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) stimulates SCC but potentiates the effect of ATP on SCC. The divalent cationic ionophore A23187 (1 X 10(-6) M) transiently stimulates SCC itself and abolishes ATP-induced stimulation of the SCC.

Abstract
A membrane preparation enriched in the basolateral segment of the plasma membrane was isolated from the rat renal cortex by a procedure that included separation of particulates on a self-generating Percoll gradient. The uptake of L-glutamate by the basolateral membrane vesicles was studied. A Na+ gradient (Na+]o greater than [Na+]i) stimulated the uptake of L-glutamate and provided the driving force for the uphill transport of the acidic amino acid, suggesting a Na+-L-glutamate cotransport system in the basolateral membrane. A K+ gradient ([K+]i greater than [K+]o) increased the uptake additionally. This effect was specific for K+(Rb+). The action of the K+ gradient in enhancing the uptake of L-glutamate had an absolute requirement for Na+. In the presence of Na+, but in the absence of a Na+ gradient. i.e., [Na+]o = [Na+]i, the K+ gradient also energized the concentrative uptake of L-glutamate. This effect of the K+ gradient was not attributable to an alteration in membrane potential. The finding of a concentrative uptake system for L-glutamate energized by both Na+ ([Na+]o greater than [Na+]i and K+ ([K+]o) gradients in the basolateral membrane, combined with previous reports of an ion gradient-dependent uphill transport system for this amino acid in the brush border membrane, suggests a mechanism by which L-glutamate is accumulated intracellularly in the renal proximal tubule to extraordinarily high concentrations.

Abstract
Single i.p. injections of 0.5 mmol F-/kg and repeated i.p. injections of 0.25 mmol F-/kg as NaF or SnF2 to male rats showed that both compounds produced early lesions of kidney tubule demonstrated by an intense increase of urine gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Disturbance of kidney function with an increase of diuresis and phosphaturia and a decrease of natriuria and kaliuria were more marked in SnF2-treated animals as was the decrease of urine GGT after a few days. These results indicate that tin nephrotoxicity adds to that of fluoride and antagonizes tubule regeneration.

Abstract
Cytosolic factors in a 50--75% (NH4)2SO4 fraction of the 105 000 x g supernatant of the renal cortex modulated adenylate cyclase activity in membrane preparations enriched in renal tubular cell basal--lateral membranes. The crude factor preparation had no effect on basal activity but it contained components that augmented the stimulated of the enzyme by NaF, parathyroid hormone (PTH), prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and inhibited the activation of the enzyme by GMP--PNP. The factor(s) potentiating the stimulation by the hormones was partially purified (13-fold) by DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-75 chromatography. During purification, the component(s) that increased hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase was separated from those affecting the activity in the presence of NaF and GMP--PNP. The factor(s) enhanced the PTH- and PGE1-stimulated enzyme at all concentrations of hormone, suggesting that the affinity for the hormone was not affected. The factor(s) was heat-stable. Partial proteolysis with chymotrypsin greatly reduced the ability of the factor(s) to enhance hormonal responsive adenylate cyclase. However, the factor(s) was resistant to trypsin digestion. The effect of the factor was not due to GTP, nor was GTP necessary for its action. Ca2+ was not needed for the enhancing activity of the factor(s). These findings suggest the presence in the cytosol of the kidney cortex of a protein(s) that regulates the response of renal adenylate cyclase to hormones. The relationship between this kidney cytosolic factor and those reported in other tissues remains to be established.

Abstract
Basal-lateral membranes were separated in a self-orienting Percoll (modified colloidal silica) gradient from a heavy microsomal membrane fraction by centrifugation at 48,000g for 0.5 h. The (Na+--K+)-ATPase activity as a marker enzyme for the basal-lateral plasma membrane was 20-fold enriched by this procedure. The adenylate-cyclase activity measured in the basal-lateral membrane fraction was stimulated 6-fold by parathyrin and only up to 1.5-fold by arginine-vasopressin, calcitonin, or isoproterenol. The yield of basal-lateral plasma membranes was 5 to 10 percent of the amount initially present in the homogenate. The method is also applicable to the pig kidney.

Mouse renal cortical slices were incubated with parathyroid hormone (30 U/ml) for 2 min. Brush border membrane vesicles isolated from the treated slices had a decreased Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of phosphate. Concomitantly, the hormone elicited the activation of adenylate cyclase, the increase in tissue level of cAMP, and the enhancement of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
The effects of norepinephrine and phenoxybenzamine on bicarbonate absorption in the rat proximal convoluted tubules were studied by simultaneous microperfusion of tubule and peritubular capillaries. Bicarbonate was determined by using a pH-sensitive membrane electrode system. The rates of bicarbonate absorption (JHCO3) were examined in the same proximal tubule before and after the addition of norepinephrine or phenoxybenzamine. When the proximal tubule was perfused with Ringer solution and peritubular capillaries were perfused with albumin Ringer solution, JHCO3 was 145 +/- 3.3 pEq/min X mm. Addition of 2 X 10(-6) mol/l norepinephrine to the capillary perfusate caused a 21% increase in JHCO3. Addition of 2 X 10(-6) mol/l phenoxybenzamine to the capillary perfusate caused a 12% decrease in JHCO3. Addition of both norepinephrine and phenoxybenzamine to the capillary perfusate caused a 19% decrease in JHCO3. However, there was no significant effect on JHCO3 observed when either norepinephrine or phenoxybenzamine was added to the luminal perfusate. These results suggest that adrenergic nerves participate in the regulation of renal tubular bicarbonate absorption through the direct action of norepinephrine on adrenergic receptors located at the basolateral side of the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Epithelia are multicompartment and multicomponent systems performing transcellular and paracellular transport in a very complex manner. One way to get a deeper understanding of the function of such a complex system is to dissect it into the single components and then, after having defined the components under well-controlled conditions, to try to describe the behavior of the whole system on the basis of the properties of the single components. This article deals with the analysis of isolated plasma membranes derived from the luminal and contraluminal face of epithelial cells, predominantly renal proximal tubular and small intestinal cells. It is aimed to give an overview of methods used to isolate and separate plasma membranes, to study their transport properties as membrane vesicles, and also to address the question of how information gained with the isolated membranes corresponds to observations made in the intact cell using other, notably electrophysiological, measurements. The review also critically evaluates the limitations of the approach and thereby tries to set the work on isolated membranes in the proper perspective within the field of transport physiology.

Abstract
The two parts of the bovine kidney cortex plasma membrane, the basal-lateral and the brush-border membrane, were simultaneously prepared from the same organ. Both types of membrane bound parathyrin, but only from the basal-lateral fraction was the hormone displaceable by its bioactive N-terminal fragment. In parallel, parathyrin-stimulated adenylate cyclase was predominantly found in basal-lateral membranes. The hormone was fragmented by both membrane types. Basal-lateral membranes generated fragments with a rather uniform size distribution (somewhat smaller than the intact peptide) and apparently preferred the hormone itself as a substrate. In contrast, the fragments produced by brush-border membranes were numberous small peptides.

Abstract
Autoradiographic studies demonstrated that in the rat kidney radioactivity was localized mainly in the medulla in animals injected with [14C]ethionine, whereas it was distributed homogeneously throughout the whole parenchyma in rats given [14C]methionine. This difference of distribution was consistent with a difference in renal toxicity: a single i.p. dose (1 g/kg) of ethionine induced a slight but persistent (6 days) damage to kidney tubule cells evidenced by an increase of urinary GGT and slight disturbance of renal function, such damage was not observed with methionine.

Abstract
Transport-competent plasma membrane vesicles isolated from mammalian cells provide a system to investigate mechanisms and regulation of nutrient and ion transport systems. The characteristics of membrane vesicle systems to study transport in erythrocytes, renal and epithelial membranes, Ehrlich ascites cells, and mouse fibroblasts are discussed. Studies of Na+-stimulated and Na+-independent amino acid and glucose transport in these systems are evaluated, with emphasis on experimental verification of concepts stated in the Na+ gradient hypothesis. Nucleoside, phosphate, and calcium transport systems in plasma membrane vesicles from mouse fibroblast cultures are discussed. Also, current biochemical approaches to investigate mechanisms of regulation of nutrient transport systems by hormones or cellular proliferative state are described.

Abstract
Luminal (brush border) and antiluminal (basal-lateral) membranes were isolated from canine renal cortex. The enzyme marker for luminal membrane, alkaline phosphatase was enhanced 19-fold and the antiluminal enzyme marker, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, was enhanced 22-fold in their respective membrane preparation, while the amount of cross contamination was minimal. Contamination of these preparations by enzyme markers for lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria was also low. Routinely, more than 50 mg membrane protein was isolated for each membrane. Electron micrographs showed that the membranes were uniform in size, appearance, and vesicular in nature. An examination of the orientation of these membranes showed that 76.5% of the antiluminal membranes and 86% of the luminal membranes were right-side out.
