NH3 permeability of principal cells and intercalated cells measured by confocal fluorescence imaging

The cortical collecting duct (CCD) is an important site for NH3 secretion in mammalian nephron. However, given the cellular heterogeneity of this epithelium, the transcellular sites for NH3 secretion are unknown. In the present study, a dual-excitation confocal microscope was designed and optimized to have sufficient temporal resolution to measure the permeability of ammonia (PNH3) across the basolateral and apical membrane of principal cells (PCs) and intercalated cells (ICs) in perfused rabbit CCDs. The rate of cellular NH3 influx was calculated from the time course of increase in intracellular pH (pHi), measured with 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein after 20 mM NH4Cl was added to the bath or luminal perfusate. The time course of increase in pHi was calculated from 488/442 image pairs stored at a rate of 4 Hz. The apparent basolateral and apical PNH3 values of PCs were 36 +/- 5 and 113 +/- 11 microns/s, respectively. The values were 5.0 +/- 0.7 and 34 +/- 3 microns/s after membrane folding correction. The apparent basolateral and apical PNH3 values of ICs were 38 +/- 6 and 132 +/- 15 microns/s. Corrected for membrane folding, the values were 9.0 +/- 1.0 and 47 +/- 5 microns/s, respectively. The results demonstrate that the apical surface was more permeable than the basolateral surface in both cell types. In addition, ICs were more permeable to NH3 than PCs across both membranes. The transcellular PNH3 of PCs and ICs were 27.3 and 29.5 microns/s, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
