Phosphate uptake by a kidney cell line (LLC-PK1)

C. A. Rabito

The uptake of inorganic phosphate was studied in an epithelial cell line of renal origin. Phosphate was accumulated through a mechanism with several features of a carrier-mediated process. The influx was accounted for by a saturable Na+-dependent and a nonsaturable Na+-independent process. Kinetic analysis at pH 6.6 and 7.4 suggests that the dibasic form of phosphate is the form transported by the saturable Na+-dependent system. The presence of Na+ in the incubation medium increased Vmax without affecting Km. Arsenate competitively inhibited the Na+-dependent phosphate transport with a Ki of 1.2 mM at 140 mM Na+ and pH 7.4. Other known inhibitors of phosphate reabsorption in the proximal tubule also inhibited phosphate transport by this cell line. Uptake studies from either side of the monolayers indicated that this transport system is preferentially located in the apical membrane of the cultured renal cells. These results show a close similarity between the Na+-dependent phosphate transport system in LLC-PK1 cells and the system present in the apical membrane of the proximal tubular cells.
