Acidification of luminal fluid by the rabbit cortical collecting tubule perfused in vitro

Abstract: The ability of the rabbit cortical collecting tubule to acidify the luminal fluid was determined with double-barreled antimony pH electrodes. In Na+/K+ Ringer the tubules maintained a transepithelial voltage (VToc) of -45.4 +/- 5.5 mV (bath grounded) and a minimum luminal fluid pH of 5.93 +/- 0.11. Chronic mineralocorticoid pretreatment of the rabbits caused the VToc to become more negative (-78.7 +/- 8.2 mV) and decreased the minimum luminal fluid pH to 5.43 +/- 0.16. In most tubules (control and mineralocort… Show more

“…VT did not significantly change with DIDS (paired A = -1.0+1.9 mV, NS). These results are consistent with the known effects of basolateral disulfonic stilbenes on acidification in the turtle bladder (13), medullary collecting tubule (14), and cortical collecting tubule (15), and demonstrate that bath DIDS was a potent inhibitor of H' secretion in our system. In time controls from acid-loaded, starved rabbits (n = 4, not shown), the HCO3 reabsorptive rate did not change (1.94±1.32 period 1, 1.45±1.63 period 2, A = NS).…”

“…Several transport mechanisms have been implicated in this process including Na'-H+ exchange, electrogenic H+ secretion and K-H exchange (12)(13)(14)(15). In addition, bicarbonate secretion by electroneutral exchange of luminal Cl for HCO3 also affects net bicarbonate transport ( 16).…”

“…Little is known about the mechanisms ofacidification in the distal convoluted tubule, an extension of the thick ascending limb in which Na+-H+ exchange has been observed in the rat kidney ( 19). On the other hand, the initial collecting tubule contains several populations of intercalated cells, known to be responsible for both H + and HCO-secretion ( 15,16,20,21).…”
