    Udgivelsesdato: 1998-AprAcute hypertension provokes a rapid decrease in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption with a decrease in basolateral membrane sodium-potassium-ATPase activity and an increase in the density of membranes containing apical membrane sodium/hydrogen exchangers (NHE3) [Y. Zhang, A. K. Mircheff, C. B. Hensley, C. E. Magyar, D. G. Warnock, R. Chambrey, K.-P. Yip, D. J. Marsh, N.-H. Holstein-Rathlou, and A. A. McDonough. Am. J. Physiol. 270 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 39): F1004-F1014, 1996]. To determine the reversibility and specificity of these responses, rats were subjected to 1) elevation of blood pressure (BP) of 50 mmHg for 5 min, 2) restoration of normotension after the first protocol, or 3) sham operation. Systolic hypertension increased urine output and endogenous lithium clearance three- to fivefold within 5 min, but these returned to basal levels only 15 min after BP was restored. Renal cortex lysate was fractionated on sorbitol gradients. Basolateral membrane sodium-potassium-ATPase activity (but not subunit immunoreactivity) decreased one-third to one-half after BP was elevated and recovered after BP was normalized. After BP was elevated, 55% of the apical NHE3 immunoreactivity, smaller fractions of sodium-phosphate cotransporter immunoreactivity, and apical alkaline phosphatase and dipeptidyl-peptidase redistributed to membranes of higher density enriched in markers of the intermicrovillar cleft (megalin) and endosomes (Rab 4 and Rab 5), whereas density distributions of the apical cytoskeleton protein villin were unaltered. After 20 min of normalized BP, all the NHE3 and smaller fractions of the other apical membrane proteins returned to their original distributions. These findings suggest that the dynamic regulation of proximal tubule sodium transport by acute changes in BP may be mediated by rapid reversible regulation of sodium pump activity and relocation of apical sodium transporters

    In vivo PTH provokes apical NHE3 and NaPi2 redistribution and Na-K-ATPase inhibition.

    Udgivelsesdato: 1999-MayThe aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that in vivo administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) provokes diuresis/natriuresis through redistribution of proximal tubule apical sodium cotransporters (NHE3 and NaPi2) to internal stores and inhibition of basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity and to determine whether the same cellular signals drive the changes in apical and basolateral transporters. PTH-(1-34) (20 U), which couples to adenylate cyclase (AC), phospholipase C (PLC), and phospholipase A2 (PLA2), or [Nle8,18,Tyr34]PTH-(3-34) (10 U), which couples to PLC and PLA2 but not AC, were given to anesthetized rats as an intravenous bolus followed by low-dose infusion (1 U. kg-1. min-1 for 1 h). Renal cortex membranes were fractionated on sorbitol density gradients. PTH-(1-34) increased urinary cAMP excretion 3-fold, urine output (V) 2.0 +/- 0.1-fold, and lithium clearance (CLi) 2.8 +/- 0.3-fold. With this diuresis/natriuresis, 25% of NHE3 and 18% of NaPi2 immunoreactivity redistributed from apical membranes to higher density fractions containing intracellular membrane markers, and basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity decreased 25%. [Nle8,18,Tyr34]PTH-(3-34) failed to increase V or CLi or to provoke redistribution of NHE3 or NaPi2, but it did inhibit Na-K-ATPase activity 25%. We conclude that in vivo PTH stimulates natriuresis/diuresis associated with internalization of apical NHE3 and NaPi2 and inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity, that cAMP-protein kinase A stimulation is necessary for the natriuresis/diuresis and NHE3 and NaPi2 internalization, and that Na-K-ATPase inhibition is not secondary to depressed apical Na+ transport

    Mapping subcellular distribution of Na+-K+-ATPase in rat parotid gland

    No full text
    Recent subcellular fractionation studies have raised the possibility that Na+-K+-ATPase might be present in both the apical and the basal-lateral membranes of exocrine gland acinar cells. Analytical fractionation and immunofluorescence microscopy studies of rat parotid glands were performed to confirm this interpretation. The distributions of biochemical markers after analyses based on differential sedimentation, equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation, and partitioning in an aqueous polymer two-phase system defined a total of 15 physically and biochemically distinct membrane populations. Among these populations, it was possible to select one (designated population i) with the characteristics expected of acinar cell basal-lateral plasma membranes. It contained Na+-K+-ATPase enriched 33-fold, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase enriched 23-fold with respect to the initial homogenate. A second population (designated population c) had the characteristics expected of acinar cell apical plasma membranes; it contained Na+-K+-ATPase enriched 28-fold, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase enriched 53-fold with respect to the initial homogenate. Although the identification of population c remains provisional, immunofluorescence studies verified that Na+-K+-ATPase is present in both the apical and the basal-lateral acinar cell plasma membranes. In view of these results, it is likely that the apical Na+-K+-ATPase would participate in series with basal-lateral sodium- and chloride-entry pathways in driving the secretory electrolyte fluxes. </jats:p

    Empirical strategy for analytical fractionation of epithelial cells

    No full text
    Despite the importance of cell fractionation methods in studies of epithelial transport mechanisms and of a variety of subcellular processes, current practices in cell fractionation have a number of shortcomings. Most cell fractionation studies depend on biochemical markers, but they provide little independent confirmation of the initial assumptions that markers are uniquely associated with particular subcellular structures and that they are uniformly distributed over the surfaces with which they are associated. Moreover, it is generally difficult and time-consuming to design new membrane isolation procedures. After reviewing the analytical nature of physical separation procedures, I suggest an empirical approach to cell fractionation that is both general and comprehensive. This approach uses physical separation procedures to generate spatial distributions of particles in which position is related to such physical properties as sedimentation coefficient, density, cholesterol content, surface charge, and coefficient of partitioning in aqueous polymer two-phase systems. Determination of the frequency distributions of biochemical markers permits detection of separate populations of particles even when the populations lack unique markers. This process requires no a priori assumptions about the subcellular localizations of particles. </jats:p

    Complex subcellular distribution of sodium-dependent amino acid transport systems in kidney cortex and LLC-PK1/Cl4 cells

    Complex subcellular distribution of sodium-dependent amino acid transport systems in kidney cortex and LLC-PK1/Cl4 cells. To characterize the amino acid transport system in basalateral membranes and to test for possible intracellular loci of amino acid transport activity, we surveyed the distribution of L-alanine transport activity in rabbit proximal tubular cells and LLC-PK1/Cl4 cells. A three-dimensional separation procedure based on differential sedimentation, density gradient centrifugation, and counter-current distribution resolved 21 physically and biochemically distinct membrane populations from rabbit cortex. Inhibition of L-alanine transport by phenylalanine and N-(methylamino)isobutyric acid was used to delineate parallel amino acid transport pathways. Population n was identified as brush border membranes by virtue of its 16-fold maltase enrichment; 94% of its Na+-dependent alanine transport activity was mediated by systems previously shown to be characteristic of brush border membranes. Two populations, c′ and c″, which accounted for 25% of the total Na,K-ATPase activity, were identified as basalateral membranes on the basis of Na,K-ATPase cumulative enrichment factors of 15 and 21; 82% of the total alanine transport in these populations was mediated by a Na+-independent system similar to the classical system L. Na,K-ATPase, Na+-independent and Na+-dependent alanine transport activities were associated with intracellular membrane populations as well as with the plasma membranes. The major intracellular locus of Na,K-ATPase activity, population i accounted for roughly 31% of the Na,K-ATPase, maximally enriched ninefold; it contained 29% of the total system L transport activity. Population l, which was identified as endoplasmic reticulum because it was the major locus of membrane-bound NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity, contained 44% of the total system A transport. Three distinct Golgi-derived populations, m′, m″, and o, accounted for 39% of the total system A transport. A survey of the amino acid transport systems in LLC-PK1/Cl4 cells showed that the majority of system A-mediated amino acid transport was present in membranes of intracellular and possibly apical origin. The presence of large intracellular pools of amino acid transport activities might reflect newly synthesized transport proteins, ongoing membrane recycling or, perhaps, intracellular reserves available for rapid recruitment to the plasma membrane

    Na-K-ATPase in lacrimal gland acinar cell endosomal system: correcting a case of mistaken identity

    No full text
    Na-K-ATPase is associated with a variety of membrane populations in lacrimal acinar cells. Acinus-like structures formed by rabbit acinar cells in primary culture were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to label basolateral and endosomal membranes and then analyzed by electron microscopy cytochemistry with the 3-3'-diaminobenzidine reaction or by fractionation and measurement of marker catalytic activities or immunoreactivities. HRP adsorbed to basolateral membranes at 4 degrees C. Fractionation showed it associated with low-density membranes enriched in acid phosphatase and TGN38 but containing only minor amounts of Na-K-ATPase. Cells internalized HRP to cytoplasmic vesicles, Golgi structures, and lysosomes at 37 degrees C. The major endosomal compartment revealed by fractionation coincided with major peaks of Na-K-ATPase and Rab6 and secondary peaks of galactosyltransferase and gamma-adaptin. Carbachol (10 microM) increased lysosomal and Golgi labeling. Thus most of the Na-K-ATPase is located in the basolateral membrane-oriented endosomal system, concentrated in a compartment possibly related to the trans-Golgi network. Constitutive and stimulation-accelerated traffic to and from this compartment may serve several exocrine cell functions.</jats:p
