Effect and distribution of intravenously injected 125 I-guanylin in rat kidney examined by high-resolution light microscopic radioautography

Abstract: 125I-guanylin was injected intravenously into rats, and their kidney and intestinal tract were processed for light microscopic radioautography using semithin sections to examine the binding sites. Various doses of unlabeled guanylin were also injected to examine the morphological effects of guanylin on the kidney. Dense labeling of silver grains due to 125I-guanylin were observed only in the kidney. In the cortex, silver grains were localized on the luminal side of the proximal tubules at 5-30 min. In the medu… Show more

“…This part of the nephron could be responsible for degradation of GN produced in the CCD and, therefore, its absence in the urine. GN decreases the cell volume and increases the luminal space in a concentration-and timedependent manner which suggest secretion of water and consequently diuresis [25]. The signaling mechanism of GN peptides in the IMCD needs further investigation.…”

“…UGN is the main representative of GN peptides found in opossum urine [30] and the only one found in rat urine [14]. ProGN is degraded by chymotrypsin located in glomeruli [27] or proximal tubules [3,28] or can be endocytozed from the lumen in proximal tubules [25]. The same proteases in the tubular lumen could cut proUGN into UGN which leads to UGN activation.…”

“…Although GN and UGN are both filtered in the kidney, UGN is mainly present in urine. GN is probably degraded by chymotrypsin in the glomeruli (13) or the proximal tubules (14) or removed from the tubular fluid along the proximal tubule by endocytosis (15). Another possible source of UGN found in the urine are renal tubular cells, because mRNA for UGN as well as GN are detected in the kidney and in isolated tubule fractions (16 -18).…”

“…Reduced Na ϩ reabsorption also decreases water reabsorption in this nephron segment and thus causes diuresis. GN was shown to decrease the cell volume and increase the luminal space in a concentration-and time-dependent manner, which suggests secretion of water and consequently diuresis (68). However, the kaliuresis also caused by guanylin peptides cannot be explained from the data obtained in the CCD and may be due to effects of these peptides in other parts of the nephron, e.g., the thick ascending limb or the medullary collecting duct.…”
