Abstract:
:Transport and metabolism of adenosine were studied in the S1, S2, and S3 segments of the rabbit proximal renal tubule. Isolated segments were perfused in vitro with uniformly labelled 14C-adenosine to measure the lumen-to-bath flux of adenosine. This flux rate was measured by the disappearance of 14C from the luminal fluid (JD) and simultaneously by the appearance of 14C in the bathing solution (JA), expressed as femtomoles per minute per millimeter of tubule length (fmol.min-1.mm-1). At a perfused concentration of 83.3 microM adenosine, when corrected for metabolism, the JDs for adenosine in the S1, S2, and S3 segments were 735, 212, and 273, respectively. JAs, corrected for metabolism, were 0, 0, and 4.8 fmol.min-1.mm-1 for the S1, S2, and S3 segments, indicating that very little or no 14C-adenosine moved across the basolateral membrane. To correct for metabolism of 14C-adenosine, the perfusion fluid, collected fluid, tubular extract, and bathing fluid, from three tubules of each segment type, were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography to identify 14C-adenosine and its 14C-metabolites. At 83.3 microM, all segments metabolized adenosine extensively. Consequently, adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP) and inosine were found in tubule cells of all segments. Inosine also appeared in the collected fluid, but AMP did not. In S1 and S2 segments, none of the 14C in the bathing solutions could be identified and no adenosine was found. Of the small amounts of 14C found in bathing solutions from S3 segments, about 27% appeared to be adenosine, the rest were inosine and hypoxanthine or unidentified metabolites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
