The 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]-induced expression of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, Ca(2+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Ca(2+)-ATPase), and calbindin-D28k was investigated in the rabbit distal nephron. Immunocytochemical studies in rabbit kidney sections revealed colocalization of the three Ca2+ transport proteins in the majority of cells in the distal nephron, including connecting tubules and cortical collecting ducts. Subsequently, rabbit connecting and cortical collecting tubule cells were immunodissected and cultured on permeable supports. Immunocytochemical analysis of the cultured cells by confocal microscopy revealed that Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and Ca(2+)-ATPase were present at the basolateral membrane, whereas calbindin-D28k was evenly distributed throughout the cytosol. Concomitant with an increase in Ca2+ transport, 1,25(OH)2D3 increased calbindin-D28k protein and RNA content two- to threefold, as determined by Northern and Western blotting. By contrast, neither Na+/Ca2+ exchanger nor Ca(2+)-ATPase RNA or protein content was noticeably altered. Our findings suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulation of transcellular Ca2+ transport in primary cultures of rabbit cortical collecting system cells involves an increase in the gene expression of calbindin-D28k but not of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and Ca(2+)-ATPase.
