Electrophysiology of sodium-coupled transport in proximal renal tubules

F. Lang, G. Messner and W. Rehwald

Effects of sodium-coupled transport on intracellular electrolytes and electrical properties of proximal renal tubule cells are described in this review. Simultaneous with addition of substrate for sodium-coupled transport to luminal perfusates, both cell membranes depolarize. The luminal cell membrane depolarizes due to opening of sodium-cotransport pathways. The depolarization of the peritubular cell membrane during sodium-coupled transport is primarily due to a circular current reentering the lumen via the paracellular pathway. The depolarization leads to a transient decrease of basolateral potassium conductance that in turn amplifies the depolarization. However, within 5-10 min of continued exposure to substrate, potassium conductance increases again, and peritubular cell membrane repolarizes. During depolarization the driving force of peritubular bicarbonate exit is reduced. As a result net alkalinization of the cell prevails despite an increase of intracellular sodium activity, which reduces the driving force for the sodium-hydrogen ion exchanger and would thus have been expected to acidify the cell. No evidence is obtained for regulatory inhibition of sodium-coupled transport by intracellular sodium or calcium. Rather, luminal cotransport is altered by the change of driving forces.
