title: Rubidium absorption and proton secretion by rabbit outer medullary collecting duct via H-K-ATPase.
abstract: Multiple lines of evidence support the hypothesis that the outer medullary collecting duct from the inner stripe (OMCDi) possesses a functional proton-potassium-activated adenosinetriphosphatase (H-K-ATPase). To examine the effect of inhibition of H-K-ATPase on Rb efflux, we measured the Rb tracer rate efflux coefficient (KRb) across the OMCDi of animals adapted to a K-restricted diet using the selective K-competitive H-K-ATPase inhibitor, Sch 28080. Sch 28080 (10 microM) did not significantly alter transepithelial voltage (VT) but significantly decreased KRb by 41%. We further examined the effect of 10% peritubular CO2 on KRb and the subsequent effect of Sch 28080 (10 microM) on KRb. After exposure to 10% CO2 for 120 min, vehicle-treated tubules exhibited a small but significant increase in KRb without a significant change in VT. In contrast, 10 microM Sch 28080 significantly decreased KRb by 44% without affecting VT. The lack of an effect of H-K-ATPase inhibition on VT in the presence of either 5% or 10% CO2 was in marked contrast to the effect of carbonic anhydrase inhibition (CAI). CAI consistently and significantly decreased VT either in the presence of 5% or 10% CO2. To address whether H-K-ATPase also participates in proton secretion we examined the effect of Sch 28080 (10 microM) on net bicarbonate absorption by the OMCDi of rabbits fed a normal rabbit ration and rabbits adapted to a K-restricted diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
