Mechanism of bicarbonate exit across basolateral membrane of rabbit proximal straight tubule

S. Sasaki, T. Shiigai, N. Yoshiyama and J. Takeuchi

To clarify the mechanism(s) of HCO3- (or related base) transport across the basolateral membrane, rabbit proximal straight tubules were perfused in vitro, and intracellular pH (pHi) and Na+ activity (aiNa) were measured by double-barreled ion-selective microelectrodes. Lowering bath HCO3- from 25 to 5 mM at constant PCO2 depolarized basolateral membrane potential (Vbl), and reduced pHi. Most of these changes were inhibited by adding 1 mM 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) to the bath. Total replacement of bath Na+ with choline also depolarized Vbl and reduced pHi, and these changes were also inhibited by SITS. Reduction in aiNa was observed when bath HCO3- was lowered. Taken together, these findings suggest that HCO3- exists the basolateral membrane with Na+ and negative charge. Calculation of the electrochemical driving forces suggests that the stoichiometry of HCO3-/Na+ must be larger than two for maintaining HCO3- efflux. Total replacement of bath Cl- with isethionate depolarized Vbl gradually and increased pHi slightly, implying the existence of a Cl(-)-related HCO3- exit mechanism. The rate of decrease in pHi induced by lowering bath HCO3- was slightly reduced (20%) by the absence of bath Cl-. Therefore, the importance of Cl(-)-related HCO3- transport is small relative to total basolateral HCO3- exit. Accordingly, these data suggest that most of HCO3- exits the basolateral membrane through the rheogenic Na+/HCO3- cotransport mechanism with a stoichiometry of HCO3-/Na+ of more than two.
