title: Effect of acute acidemia on phosphate uptake by renal proximal tubular brush-border membranes.
abstract: Prolonged metabolic acidosis is associated with depressed phosphate (Pi) uptake by the brush-border membrane (BBM) of the proximal tubule. To examine if changes in systemic pH underlie this inhibition, we measured Pi transport by renal cortical BBM from thyroparathyroidectomized rats with respiratory or metabolic acidosis of 1 or 3 h, respectively, and in appropriate controls. Also, Pi transport was measured in BBM prepared using tissue slices from nonacidotic rats that were preincubated for 20 or 45 min at either pH 6.9 (HCO3 = 10 mM, CO2 = 10%) or 7.4 (HCO3 = 10 mM, CO2 = 2.5%). Despite comparable acidemia (pH 7.06 +/- 0.05 with respiratory acidosis and 7.10 +/- 0.03 with metabolic acidosis), Na-dependent Pi uptake at 5 s incubation was reduced by 15.2 +/- 3.5% with respiratory acidosis compared with paired controls. It was not altered with metabolic acidosis. Vmax in respiratory acidosis (1.2 nmol X mg protein-1 X 5 s-1) was less than in controls (1.6); Kt was similar in both groups. 22Na transport and Na-dependent glucose transport were unchanged. Plasma phosphorus (P) increased from 8.75 +/- 0.35 mg/dl to 12.42 +/- 1.9 with respiratory acidosis. Therefore BBM vesicles transport was measured in controls after plasma P was raised. Under these conditions, Pi transport was similar to that with respiratory acidosis. Also Pi transport by BBM was unchanged when tissue slices were preincubated in vitro at high CO2 concentrations for 20 or 45 min. Thus respiratory acidosis specifically inhibits Na-dependent Pi transport by decreasing the number or rate of the BBM Pi carrier.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
