One component of the macula densa (MD) tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) signaling pathway may involve basolateral release of ATP through a maxi-anion channel. Release of ATP has previously been studied during a maximal luminal NaCl concentration ([NaCl]L) stimulus (20150 mmol/l). Whether MD ATP release occurs during changes in [NaCl]L within the physiological range (2060 mmol/l) has not been examined. Also, because TGF is known to be enhanced by low dietary salt intake, we examined the pattern of MD ATP release from salt-restricted rabbits. Fluorescence microscopy, with fura 2-loaded cultured mouse mesangial cells as biosensors, was used to assess ATP release from the isolated, perfused thick ascending limb containing the MD segment. The mesangial biosensor cells, which contain purinergic receptors and elevate intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) on ATP binding, were placed adjacent to the MD basolateral membrane. Elevations in [NaCl]L between 0 and 80 mmol/l, in 20-mmol/l increments, caused stepwise increases in [Ca2+]i, with the highest increase at [NaCl]L of
60 mmol/l. Luminal furosemide at 104 mol/l blocked ATP release, which suggests that the efflux of ATP required MD Na-2Cl-K cotransport. A low-salt diet for 1 wk increased the magnitude of [NaCl]L-dependent elevations in biosensor [Ca2+]i by twofold, whereas high-salt intake had no effect. In summary, ATP release occurs over the same range of [NaCl]L (2060 mmol/l) previously reported for TGF responses, and, similar to TGF, ATP release was enhanced by dietary salt restriction. Thus these two findings are consistent with the role of MD ATP release as a signaling component of the TGF pathway.
