Abstract. Changes in ammonium excretion with acid/base
perturbations are dependent on changes in medullary ammonium accumulation
mediated by active NH4+ absorption by the medullary
thick ascending limb. To investigate whether alterations in the abundance of
medullary thick ascending limb ion transporters, namely the apical
Na+/K+(NH4+)/2Cl--cotransporter
(BSC-1), the apical Na+/H+-exchanger (NHE3), and the
Na+/K+-ATPase
1-subunit, may be responsible in
part for altered medullary ammonium accumulation, semiquantitative
immunoblotting studies were performed using homogenates from the inner stripe
of the rat renal outer medulla. After 7 d of NH4Cl (7.2 mmol/220 g
body wt per d) loading (associated with increased medullary ammonium
accumulation), neither BSC-1 nor Na+/K+-ATPase protein
expression was altered, but NHE3 protein abundance was significantly
increased. On the other hand, both BSC-1 and
Na+/K+-ATPase protein abundance was increased
significantly in rats fed NaHCO3 (7.2 mmol/220 g body wt per d) for
7 d. Rats fed a high-NaCl diet (7.7 mEq Na+/220 g body wt per d)
for 5 d also showed marked increases in both BSC-1 and
Na+/K+-ATPase expression. The expression level of NHE3
protein did not change with either NaHCO3 or high NaCl intake. None
of these three transporters showed a significant difference in abundance
between the groups fed equimolar (7.2 mmol/220 g body wt per d for 7 d)
NaHCO3 or NaCl. It is concluded that outer medullary BSC-1 and
Na+/K+-ATPase
1-subunit protein abundance is
increased by chronic Na+ loading but not by acid/base perturbations
and that outer medullary NHE3 protein abundance is increased by chronic
NH4Cl loading.
