- Abstract
These studies were performed to determine if a low-affinity carrier is present in the luminal membrane of proximal tubular cells for the transport of the dipeptide, pyroglutamyl-histidine (pGlu-His). We have previously described the existence of a specific, high-affinity, low-capacity [transport constant (Kt) = 9.3 X 10(-8) M, Vmax = 6.1 X 10(-12) mol.mg-1.min-1] carrier for pGlu-His in renal brush-border membrane vesicles. In the present study, we sought to demonstrate that multiple carriers exist for the transport of a single dipeptide by determining whether a low-affinity carrier also exists for the uptake of pGlu-His. Transport of pGlu-His into brush-border membrane vesicles was saturable over the concentration range of 10(-5)-10(-3) M, yielding a Kt of 6.3 X 10(-5) M and a Vmax of 2.2 X 10(-10) mol.mg-1.min-1. Uptake was inhibited by the dipeptides glycyl-proline, glycyl-sarcosine, and carnosine but not by the tripeptide pyroglutamyl-histidyl-prolinamide. We conclude that 1) pGlu-His is transported across the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule by multiple carriers and 2) the lower affinity carrier, unlike the higher affinity carrier, is nonspecific with respect to other dipeptides.

- Abstract
Renal tubular reabsorption and hydrolysis of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL3) were studied. Rabbit proximal straight nephron segments were microperfused in vitro with iodinated HDL3. Progressive luminal uptake and cellular accumulation of radiolabeled material were observed during an initial phase, followed by a reduction in sequestration and the appearance of 125I-label in the bathing medium. To detect proteolysis, collected perfusates and bathing media were analyzed for trichloracetic acid soluble radioactivity. 125I-HDL3 in the luminal fluid was intact, but metabolites appeared in the bathing medium. Electron microscopic radioautography demonstrated endocytic uptake of 125I-HDL3 at the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule and movement of grains into lysosome-like dense bodies. Incubation of radiolabeled HDL3 in the presence of renal homogenates resulted in proteolytic activity with an acidic pH optimum. Analytical cell fractionation studies indicated that hydrolysis of the protein component is associated with lysosomes derived from proximal kidney tubules. Collectively, the data show that plasma HDL3 can be reabsorbed in the proximal nephron by a mechanism involving endocytosis at the luminal membrane, followed by proteolysis at lysosomes.

- Abstract
To examine the effects of molecular charge on membrane processing in renal tubular cells, the distribution of cationic and anionic ferritin was characterized in microperfused proximal nephron segments. During the first 7 min of proximal tubule perfusion, cationic ferritin was observed 1) bound to the brush-border membrane, 2) in apically positioned vesicles and vacuoles, 3) in lysosomes, 4) in vesicles adjacent to the basolateral plasmalemma, and 5) bound to the basolateral plasmalemma. Compared with anionic ferritin, the distribution of cationic ferritin was characterized by 1) a smaller relative grain density for lysosomes, 2) an accumulation of granules in an enlarged pool of apical cytoplasmic vesicles and vacuoles, and 3) a greater number of granules reaching the basolateral plasmalemma. During incubation directly in the presence of isolated renal cortical microvilli, binding of cationic ferritin increased significantly as pH was lowered from 8.0 to 4.5 and was greater than that of anionic ferritin, which varied little with pH. The data indicate that the molecular charge of endocytosed substances affects routing and membrane processing in proximal tubular cells, suggesting that their membrane-binding characteristics may influence transport patterns.

- Abstract
Less than Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2, the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, LHRH, is degraded in renal proximal tubules (PT) in vivo (rat) and in vitro (rabbit) to less than Glu-His (2), less than Glu-His-Trp (3), and less than Glu-His-Trp-Ser (4). LHRH may be cleaved by endopeptidases simultaneously at multiple bonds, or initially at Ser4-Tyr5 followed by carboxypeptidase hydrolysis of 4 to 3 and then 2. To distinguish between these mechanisms, [3H]LHRH analogues were incubated with rabbit renal brush-border membranes (BBM), microinfused into PT in vivo or in vitro, and products were analyzed by HPLC. [D-Ser4]LHRH was not cleaved at D Ser4-Tyr5 but yielded less than Glu-His-Trp-D-Ser-Tyr-Gly as the major metabolite plus 2 and 3. [D-Trp6]LHRH was cleaved by BBM and PT to 2 and 3, but not to 4. [D-Ser4, D-Trp6]LHRH was not cleaved by BBM, but was degraded to 2 by PT in vivo. Thus, D-amino acid substituents altered the expected cleavage pattern of these analogues. [3H]LHRH was cleaved by BBM or by endopeptidase-24.11 from porcine PT to metabolites 2, 4, small amounts of 3, and less than Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly, but cleavage was strongly inhibited by the specific inhibitor phosphoramidon. Thus, normally LHRH may be cleaved in PT by endopeptidase-24.11 to 2 and 4, and by angiotensin I-converting enzyme to 3, its known cleavage site.

- Abstract
Regeneration of the ray kidney was observed for six days after inducing acute tubular necrosis of the proximal pars recta with d-serine (80 mg/100 g body weight. Regenerating cells appear by two days post-treatment, and re-epithelialization of the nephron is completed within six days, with the most mature cells approaching normal morphology. Regeneration originates from viable cells adjacent to the necrotic zone which divide and follow a template provided by the intact basement membrane. Transient, cytoplasmic regenerative activity among developing tubular cells is characterized by the presence of large, irregularly shaped nuclei, prominent nucleoli, abundant ribosomes and lysosomes, and abnormal mitochondrial configurations. Microfilaments appear to be involved in the formation of apical microvilli and the basal labyrinth of plasmalemmal convolutions. These data suggest that d-serine induced acute tubular necrosis of the proximal pars recta may be followed by rapid, patterned regeneration along an intact basement membrane, and that microfilaments are involved in differentiation of cellular morphology.

- Abstract
[pyroglutamyl-3,4-3H]Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) was microperfused through isolated segments of rabbit proximal straight tubules and incubated with isolated brush border microvilli from rabbit renal tubules. About 4.8% of perfused 3H label was reabsorbed into the bathing medium per millimeter of tubule length per minute, and 1% or less of perfused label was sequestered per millimeter of nephron segment. The 3H label content of the bathing medium varied linearly with perfusion time (30 min), suggesting a constant rate of reabsorption. Analysis by high performance liquid chromatography showed that the collection fluid and brush border incubation medium contained significant amounts of labeled pGlu-His, pGlu-His-Trp, and pGlu-His-Trp-Ser, as well as LHRH, while the bathing medium contained pGlu, pGlu-His, pGlu-His-Trp-Ser, a very small amount of pGlu-His-Trp, and no LHRH. These data suggest that the partial hydrolysis of [3H]LHRH to these peptide metabolites takes place in proximal tubules through contact digestion by brush border enzymes. The metabolites and/or hormone are probably reabsorbed and broken down further within the cell to produce pGlu, which becomes an additional metabolite found in the bathing medium.

- Abstract
The subcellular sites of insulin degradation as measured by trichloroacetic acid precipitation were defined for rabbit renal proximal tubule cells. Fractionation in linear sucrose gradients of the postnuclear supernates prepared from isolated proximal tubule segments revealed three pools of insulin hydrolytic activity. Insulin hydrolytic activity assayed at pH 3.5 distributed in the gradients in a manner nearly identical to the activity of the lysosomal enzymes, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase. At pH 7.4 the insulin-degrading activity distributed in a bimodal fashion with the major component following the cytosolic enzyme, phosphoglucomutase, and the minor component nearly identically overlapping with the activity of the inner mitochondrial enzyme, cytochrome oxidase. Upon microperfusion of 125I-insulin through proximal straight nephron segments, metabolites of the hormone were not observed in the collected perfusates for six of eight experiments. Average values for percent intact insulin in the original and collected perfusates showed no significant difference. These data suggest that three potential sites for insulin hydrolysis are present in proximal tubule cells, including lysosomes, the cytosol, and mitochondria. The results do not support the concept of degradation occurring at the brush border or contraluminal membranes.

- Abstract
Rabbit proximal nephron segments were microperfused in vitro to determine whether active contraluminal uptake of serine occurs in the renal proximal tubule during bath-to-lumen transport (influx) of the L- and D-isomers in the convoluted (pars convoluta) and straight (pars recta) segments. It is known that several amino acids are actively reabsorbed in the proximal nephron by a mechanism involving co-transport with sodium at the luminal membrane. There is some evidence that certain amino acids may also be accumulated across the contraluminal membrane by an energy-dependent mechanism, indicating that net reabsorption is the result of two oppositely directed active transport processes. During in vitro microperfusion of rabbit proximal nephron segments in this study, inward movement of L- and D-serine occurred in a bath-to-cell direction against a concentration gradient in the range 305-2735:1, indicating active uptake at the contraluminal membrane. The concentration gradients were maintained during influx of both isomers of serine in the proximal tubule. L-Serine accumulation by tubular cells was similar in the pars convoluta and recta, and significantly greater than that of D-serine, which was the same in both regions of the proximal tubule. The data support the conclusion that renal handling of serine involves active contraluminal uptake of the L- and D-isomers in both regions of the proximal tubule, and suggest that contraluminal events play an important role in renal handling of amino acids.
