- Abstract
- Furosemide administration stimulates distal acidification. This has been attributed to the increased lumen-negative voltage in the distal nephron, but the aspect of regulatory mechanisms of H+-ATPase has not been clear. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether chronic administration of diuretics alters the expression of H+-ATPase and whether electrogenic Na+ reabsorption is involved in this process. A 7-day infusion of furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) lowered urine pH significantly. However, this effect of furosemide-induced distal acidification was not changed with amiloride-blocking electrogenic Na+ reabsorption. On immunoblotting, a polyclonal antibody against the H+-ATPase B1 subunit recognized a specific similar to 56-kDa band in membrane fractions from the kidney. The protein abundance of H+-ATPase was significantly increased by furosemide and HCTZ infusion in both the cortex and outer medulla. Furosemide plus amiloride administration also increased the H+-ATPase protein abundance significantly. However, no definite subcellular redistribution of H+-ATPase was observed by furosemide +/- amiloride infusion with immunohistochemistry. Chronic furosemide +/- amiloride administration induced a translocation of pendrin to the apical membrane, while total protein abundance was not increased. The mRNA expression of H+-ATPase was not altered by furosemide +/- amiloride infusion. We conclude that chronic administration of diuretics enhances distal acidification by increasing the abundance of H+-ATPase irrespective of electrogenic Na+ reabsorption. This upregulation of H+-ATPase in the intercalated cells may be the result of tubular hypertrophy by diuretics.
