The present studies investigated acute disruption of microvillar actin cytoskeleton and actin association with other cytoskeletal components in ATP-depleted rabbit proximal tubular cells. Video-enhanced differential-interference contrast microscopy and confocal microscopy were used to follow the fate of F-actin during the disruption of microvilli. Within individual cells, all microvilli collapsed simultaneously. Microvillar actin filaments underwent a parallel decrease in length. Using a sequential cytoskeletal extraction protocol and electron microscopy, we revealed in the present studies the coincident sequestration of a distinct, perinuclear pool of actin that was primarily absent in control cells. Actin sequestration progressed in a duration-dependent manner, occurring as early as 15 min of anoxia when cellular ATP dropped to <5% of control level. Phalloidin staining and depolymerization treatment showed the majority (>90%) of this sequestered actin to be F-actin. A microvillar actin bundling protein villin was also sequestered in the same perinuclear complex of anoxic proximal tubules. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate a coincident microvillar actin bundle disruption and the perinuclear sequestration of F-actin in ATP-depleted proximal tubular cells.
