Abstract
We examined the integrity of renal tubular function in filtering and nonfiltering isolated perfused rat kidneys by using p-amino-3H-hippurate (3H-PAH) and the multiple indicator dilution method with 14C-creatinine as a reference. The influx clearance (PSU,l) of unbound 3H-PAH was 0.37 and 0.38 ml/sec in the filtering and nonfiltering kidneys, respectively. The efflux rate constants were comparable between filtering and nonfiltering kidneys, while the sequestration rate constant in the filtering kidney was approximately three times larger than that in the nonfiltering kidney. These data suggest that the nonfiltering kidney maintains 3H-PAH transporting ability through the antiluminal plasma membrane. The renal handling of epidermal growth factor (EGF) by filtering and nonfiltering kidneys was compared. The ratio of the total uptake of tracer 125I-EGF over 20 min in the nonfiltering kidney to that in the filtering kidney was 0.8. This ratio was reduced to 0.2 when the kidneys were perfused with tracer 125I-EGF plus 20 nM EGF. Furthermore, the total uptake of tracer 125I-EGF in the nonfiltering kidney was reduced 20-fold in the presence of 20 nM unlabeled EGF. These findings suggest that the tubular uptake of tracer 125I-EGF by filtering kidney takes place mainly via the antiluminal plasma membrane and that this uptake is a saturable process.
