Abstract
- Epithelial Na<superscript>+</superscript> channel (ENaC) blockade stimulates stilbene-sensitive conductive Cl<superscript>-</superscript> secretion in the mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD). This study's purpose was to determine the co-ion that accompanies benzamil- and DIDS-sensitive Cl<superscript>-</superscript> flux. Thus transepithelial voltage, V<subscript>T</subscript>, as well as total CO<subscript>2</subscript> (tCO<subscript>2</subscript>) and Cl<superscript>-</superscript> flux were measured in CCDs from aldosterone-treated mice consuming a NaCl-replete diet. We reasoned that if stilbene inhibitors (DIDS) reduce conductive anion secretion they should reduce the lumen-negative V<subscript>T</subscript>. However, during ENaC blockade (benzamil, 3μM), DIDS (100μM) application to the perfusate reduced net H<superscript>+</superscript> secretion, which increased the lumennegative V<subscript>T</subscript>. Conversely, ENaC blockade alone stimulated H<superscript>+</superscript> secretion, which reduced the lumen-negative V<subscript>T</subscript>. Application of an ENaC inhibitor to the perfusate reduced the lumen-negative V<subscript>T</subscript>, increased intercalated cell intracellular pH, and reduced net tCO<subscript>2</subscript> secretion. However, benzamil did not change tCO<subscript>2</subscript> flux during apical H<superscript>+</superscript>- ATPase blockade (bafilomycin, 5 nM). The increment in H<superscript>+</superscript> secretion observed with benzamil application contributes to the fall in V<subscript>T</subscript> observed with application of this diuretic. As such, ENaC blockade reduces the lumen-negative V<subscript>T</subscript> by inhibiting conductive Na<superscript>+</superscript> absorption and by stimulating H<superscript>+</superscript> secretion by type A intercalated cells. In conclusion, 1) in CCDs from aldosterone-treated mice, benzamil application stimulates HCl secretion mediated by the apical H<superscript>+</superscript>- ATPase and a yet to be identified conductive Cl<superscript>-</superscript> transport pathway; 2) benzamil-induced HCl secretion is reversed with the application of stilbene inhibitors or H<superscript>+</superscript>-ATPase inhibitors to the perfusate; and 3) benzamil reduces V<subscript>T</subscript> not only by inhibiting conductive Na<superscript>+</superscript> absorption, but also by stimulating H<superscript>+</superscript> secretion.
