Intracellular band 3 immunostaining in type A intercalated cells of rabbit kidney

Intercalated cells (ICs) in the collecting duct and the connecting tubule (CNT) are involved in H+ secretion and HCO3- reabsorption. H+ secretion is mediated by an H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase in the apical plasma membrane, whereas a band 3-like Cl(-)-HCO3- exchanger in the basolateral membrane is responsible for HCO3- reabsorption. Recent studies have reported that a band 3-like protein is also present in mitochondria in rabbit ICs. The purpose of this study was to establish the subcellular location of the band 3-like Cl(-)-HCO3- exchanger in rabbit ICs by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry using a monoclonal antibody, IVF12, against erythrocyte band 3 protein. Rabbit kidneys were preserved by in vivo perfusion with a paraformaldehyde-lysine-periodate solution and processed for immunocytochemistry using a horseradish peroxidase preembedding technique. Band 3 immunostaining was observed on the basolateral plasma membrane of ICs in the outer medullary collecting duct and type A cells in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) and CNT. In addition, distinct staining for band 3 was present in numerous small vesicles and in multivesicular bodies in type A ICs in the CCD and CNT. However, there was no evidence of band 3 immunostaining of mitochondria or of the apical plasma membrane in any cells of the collecting duct. These observations suggest that basolateral Cl(-)-HCO3- exchangers in type A ICs in the rabbit kidney are stored in intracellular vesicles and possibly degraded in the vascular-lysosomal system when these cells are in a resting state. The previously reported band 3 immunolabeling of mitochondria could not be confirmed.
