| Popis: | Cl - channels in basolateral TAL membranes. XVI. MTAL and CTAL cells each contain the mRNAs encoding mmClC-Ka and mcClC-Ka. Background Our prior data indicate that two separate but homologous basolateral chloride (Cl - ) channels, mmClC-Ka and mcClC-Ka, are the principal mediators of net Cl - absorption in mouse medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) and cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) cells, respectively. In the present studies, we evaluated the possibility that there might be translational or post-translational suppression of mmClC-Ka and mcClC-Ka activity in CTAL and MTAL cells, respectively. Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments were prepared that were highly specific for either mmClC-Ka or mcClC-Ka , the cDNAs encoding mmClC-Ka and mcClC-Ka, respectively. Results Using reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with these highly specific products, mRNAs specific for non-homologous channel sequences in either mmClC-Ka or mcClC-Ka were present in both MTAL and CTAL cells. Conclusions Both mouse MTAL and CTAL cells contain the mRNAs encoding mmClC-Ka and mcClC-Ka. There may be translational or post-translational suppression of mmClC-Ka activity in CTAL cells, and of mcClC-Ka activity in MTAL cells. |
