High-conductance (maxi) K channels in the apical membrane of rat and rabbit cortical collecting tubules (CCT) were studied using the patch-clamp technique. Principal cells (PC) and intercalated cells (IC) were distinguished with Hoffman modulation optics in split-open tubules. IC were further identified by staining tubules with the fluorescent mitochondrial dye, rhodamine 123. Maxi-K channels were distinguished by their high conductance (greater than 80 pS) and voltage-dependent kinetics. In CCT of rats on a low-Na diet, maxi K channels were observed in 11% of the cell-attached patches on PC and 79% of patches on IC. In rats on a normal diet, the channels were seen in 23 and 79% of patches on PC and IC, respectively. In the rabbit CCT, maxi K channels were observed in 12% (4 of 32) of the patches on PC and 82% (122 of 148) of the patches on IC. The greater abundance of channels in IC was confirmed in rat CCT using the whole-cell clamp technique. Current through the maxi K channels (IK) was measured as the tetraethylammonium (TEA)-sensitive (2.5 mM) outward current in cells equilibrated with 115 mM K and 10(-5) M Ca2+ in the pipette solution. When the cell was clamped to an internal potential of +40 mV, the average IK per cell was -4 +/- 5 pA in PC and 290 +/- 90 pA in IC. Lowering cytoplasmic Ca2+ from 10(-5) M to 10(-7) M reduced IK to 32 +/- 21 pA. Neither single Na channels nor amiloride-sensitive whole-cell currents were seen in IC. Finally, maxi K channels could be activated by pipette suction (10-40 cm H2O) in either cell-attached or inside-out patches on IC from rabbit CCT. This mechanosensitivity was observed even after chelation of free Ca2+ with ethylene glycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) in the pipette or the bath solutions, implying that stretch activation of these channels was not mediated by increased Ca2+ entry into the cell. The IC maxi K channel may play a role in cell volume regulation or in K secretion during elevation of luminal hydrostatic pressure.
