Active transcellular NaCl transport in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is via apical parallel Na/H and Cl/base exchange. The mechanism of Cl/base exchange remains unclear. The present in vitro microperfusion study examined the mechanism of Cl/base exchange in superficial and juxtamedullary PCT by examining the rate of change in intracellular pH in response to luminal Cl removal. In superficial PCT the rate of Cl/base exchange was 24.0 +/- 2.3 without formate, 36.4 +/- 6.6 with 10 microM formate (P < 0.05), and 43.6 +/- 2.8 pmol.mm-1.min-1 (P < 0.001) with 1 mM luminal formate. Cl/base exchange was inhibited by luminal 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) in the presence and absence of formate. In juxtamedullary PCT, Cl/base exchange was 22.2 +/- 3.8 without formate and 25.0 +/- 5.4 pmol.mm-1.min-1 in the presence of 1 mM luminal formate [P = not significant (NS)]. Cl/base exchange was inhibited by luminal DIDS in juxtamedullary PCT. The rates of Cl/base exchange in both superficial and juxtamedullary PCT were not affected by 0.1 mM acetazolamide and 2 mM cyanide and were the same in the presence and absence of HCO3/CO2, consistent with Cl/OH rather than Cl/HCO3 exchange. To examine the effect of formate on PCT transport, tubules were perfused with a high-Cl solution without organics simulating late proximal tubular fluid. In superficial PCT net volume absorption (JV) was 0.00 +/- 0.05 in the absence of formate and 0.14 +/- 0.06 nl.mm-1.min-1 in the presence of 1 mM formate (P < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
