The present studies examined the effects of chronic NaCl administration and metabolic alkalosis on NHE-3, an apical Na+/H+ exchanger of the rat medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (MTAL). NaCl administration had no effect on NHE-3 mRNA abundance as assessed by competitive RT-PCR, as well as on NHE-3 transport activity estimated from the Na+-dependent cell pH recovery of Na+-depleted acidified MTAL cells, in the presence of 50 µM Hoe-694, which specifically blocks NHE-1 and NHE-2. Two models of metabolic alkalosis were studied, one associated with high sodium intake, i.e., NaHCO3 administration, and one not associated with high sodium intake, i.e., chloride depletion alkalosis (CDA). In both cases, the treatment induced a significant metabolic alkalosis that was associated with a decrease in NHE-3 transport activity (-27% and -25%, respectively). Negative linear relationships were observed between NHE-3 activity and plasma pH or bicarbonate concentration. NHE-3 mRNA abundance and NHE-3 protein abundance, assessed by Western blot analysis, also decreased by 35 and 25%, respectively, during NaHCO3-induced alkalosis, and by 47 and 33%, respectively, during CDA. These studies demonstrate that high sodium intake has per se no effect on MTAL NHE-3. In contrast, chronic metabolic alkalosis, regardless of whether it is associated with high sodium intake or not, leads to an appropriate adaptation of NHE-3 activity, which involves a decrease in NHE-3 protein and mRNA abundance.
