Abstract:
Understanding of renal function has been facilitated by the technique of perfusion of isolated renal tubule segments in vitro. The basic technology originated in the Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Metabolism of the National Institutes of Health in the early 1960s and then was expanded to apply a variety of analytical methods to single tubules.

To investigate the effect of reduction in renal medulla osmolality on loop of Henle (LOH) net bicarbonate reabsorption, clearance and microperfusion experiments were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats.

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDA) are expressed in the kidney, where little is known of their functional role. Several series of micropuncture experiments were performed in hydropenic rats using the NMDA channel blocker, MK801, and the NMDA coagonist, l-glycine, to probe NMDA for effects on single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and proximal reabsorption ( Jprox). During intravenous infusion of MK801 or l-glycine, Henle's loop was perfused to manipulate SNGFR via tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), thereby facilitating analysis of glomerulotubular balance.

Abstract:
In this review, we highlight the major scientific breakthroughs in kidney research achieved using multiphoton microscopy (MPM) and summarize the milestones in the technological development of kidney MPM during the past 10 years. Since more and more renal laboratories invest in MPM worldwide, we discuss future directions and provide practical, useful tips and examples for the application of this still-emerging optical sectioning technology. Advantages of using MPM in various kidney preparations that range from freshly dissected individual glomeruli or the whole kidney in vitro to MPM of the int

Abstract:
This study was designed to examine the intracellular mechanism of inhibitory action of high concentration of angiotensin II (ANG II) on proximal tubular transport in rat kidneys by microperfusion methods. Perfusion of ANG II (10(-6) M) to peritubular capillaries caused a reduction of both fluid and HCO3- transport (Jv and JHCO3-, respectively) by 33 and 26%, respectively. These inhibitory effects were blocked by the ANG II-receptor antagonist [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II (10(-5) M). Similar degrees of inhibition on Jv and JHCO3- were observed when ionomycin (10(-7) and 10(-6) M), a Ca2+ ionophore, was a

In microperfusion studies, ANF dramatically inhibited (greater than 80%) feedback-mediated decreases in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and stop-flow pressure (Psf) when Henle's loop was perfused at 0–48 nl/min with artificial fluid.

Abstract:
Diuretic drugs were used to characterize mechanisms involved in transporting sodium, chloride, and potassium across the wall of surface distal tubules of the rat kidney using in vivo microperfusion techniques. Both furosemide and chlorothiazide inhibited sodium and chloride absorption but did not affect the rate of potassium secretion or the transepithelial voltage. However, chlorothiazide inhibited sodium and chloride absorption more completely than furosemide and was additive to the effect of furosemide; furosemide was ineffective if chlorothiazide was already present.

Abstract:
Heart failure (HF) is associated with a reduced effective circulating volume that drives sodium and water retention and extracellular volume expansion. We therefore hypothesized that Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), the major apical transcellular pathway for sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule, is upregulated in an experimental model of HF. HF was induced in male rats by left ventricle radiofrequency ablation. Sham-operated rats (sham) were used as controls. At 6 wk after surgery, HF rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction with a dramatic increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) can functionally overcome the effects of angiotensin II in several tissues. Since ANF and angiotensin II in physiological concentrations have opposite effects on renal sodium excretion, we evaluated whether functional antagonism of the two hormones occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, as has been recently reported with use of the shrinking split-droplet technique. We used the more conventional technique of in vivo microperfusion to measure the response to systemic ANF (0.5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) when the endogenous angiotensin II level and proximal transpor

Stevioside, a non-caloric sweetening agent, is used as a sugar substitute. An influence of stevioside on renal function has been suggested, but little is known about its effect on tubular function. Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the direct effect of stevioside on transepithelial transport of p-aminohippurate (PAH) in isolated S2 segments of rabbit proximal renal tubules using in vitro microperfusion. Addition of stevioside at a concentration of 0.45 mM to either the tubular lumen, bathing medium, or both at the same time had no effect on transepithelial transport of PAH.

The transport of organic anions in the proximal tubule occurs primarily through the epithelial cells. This process involves movement across both the luminal and contraluminal membranes via specialized transport systems. Although some of the organic anions are taken up into the cell from the lumen, they can also be accumulated in tubule cells from the interstitial compartment by a variety of transporters. The relative affinities of anions for the different luminal and contraluminal transporters in concert with their conjugate driving forces determine the net directional movement, i.e., organic

Low luminal concentrations of chloride stimulate net potassium secretion by the renal distal tubule, independent of changes in transepithelial voltage. These effects are not prevented by the luminal application of the potassium channel blocking agent barium. Because net potassium secretion comprises secretory and absorptive components, we sought to evaluate the effects of chloride and barium on unidirectional potassium fluxes in the renal distal tubule.
