Popis: Isolated proximal cells from rabbit kidney were seeded on collagen-coated permeable supports. After 8 days, the cultured cells became organized as a confluent monolayer. The proximal origin of the monolayer was confirmed by enzymatic, immunological, electrical and electron microscopical studies. The epithelia exhibited a morphological polarity that allowed for measurements of effluxes across the apical or the basolateral membranes. 86Rb was used as an isotopic tracer to indicate potassium movements. The 86Rb+ efflux across the basolateral face was 1.93-times that across the apical face, and both effluxes were pH dependent. Apical and basolateral 86Rb+ effluxes increased when the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (3 μM) was applied and when monolayers were exposed to a hypotonic medium. A pharmacological study revealed that BaCl2 (5 mM), tetraethylammonium (TEA, 20 mM) and Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus scorpion venom (from which charybdotoxin is extracted) abolished both ionomycin and hypotonically-stimulated effluxes, whereas apamin had no significant effect on the hypotonically-stimulated 86Rb+ efflux. This stimulated efflux was also abolished when monolayers were preincubated with pertussis toxin, but did not decrease in a Ca2+-free medium.
