A bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter, BSC-1, is believed to mediate the apical component of transcellular NaCl absorption in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of Henle's loop. To study its ultrastructural localization in kidney, we used an affinity-purified, peptide-derived polyclonal antibody against rat BSC-1. Immunoblots from rat kidney cortex and outer medulla revealed a solitary 161-kDa band in membrane fractions. Immunocytochemistry of 1-µm cryosections demonstrated strong BSC-1 labeling of the apical and subapical regions of medullary and cortical TAL cells. Notably, macula densa cells also exhibited distinct labeling. Distal convoluted tubules and other renal tubule segments were unlabeled. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that BSC-1 labeling was associated with the apical plasma membrane and with subapical intracellular vesicles in medullary and cortical TAL and in macula densa cells. Smooth-surfaced TAL cells, in particular, had extensive BSC-1 labeling of intracellular vesicles. These results support the view that BSC-1 provides the apical pathway for NaCl transport across the TAL and that an extensive intracellular reservoir of BSC-1 is present in a subpopulation of TAL cells. Furthermore, the BSC-1 localization in the apical plasma membrane of macula densa cells is consistent with its proposed role in tubuloglomerular feedback.
