ABSTRACT. Angiotensin II (AngII) regulates renal proximal transport in a biphasic way. It has been recently shown that the basolateral type 1A receptor (AT1A) mediates the biphasic regulation of Na+-HCO3- cotransporter (NBC) by AngII. However, the receptor subtype(s) responsible for the luminal AngII actions remained to be established. To clarify this issue, the luminal AngII effects in isolated proximal tubules from wild-type (WT) and AT1A-deficient mice (AT1A KO) were compared. In WT, the rate of bicarbonate absorption (JHCO3-), analyzed with a stop-flow microspectrofluorometric method, was stimulated by 10-10 mol/L luminal AngII but was inhibited by 10-6 mol/L luminal AngII. Both stimulatory and inhibitory effects of AngII were completely blocked by valsartan (AT1 antagonist) but unaffected by PD 123,319 (AT2 antagonist). In AT1A KO, in contrast, luminal AngII (10-10 - 10-6 mol/L) did not change JHCO3-. In WT, 10-6 mol/L luminal AngII increased cell Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i), which was again blocked by valsartan but not by PD 123,319. However, luminal AngII did not increase [Ca2+]i in AT1A KO. On the other hand, the addition of arachidonic acid similarly inhibited JHCO3- in WT and AT1A KO. Furthermore, the acute activation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate similarly stimulated JHCO3- in WT and AT1A KO, indicating that the inhibitory and stimulatory pathways necessary for the AngII actions were preserved in AT1A KO. These results indicate that the luminal AT1A mediates the biphasic regulation of bicarbonate absorption by luminal AngII, while no evidence was obtained for a role of AT2.
