Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cells having morphological and histochemical properties of collecting tubules were isolated from rabbit renal papillae. Confluent monolayer cultures of these renal papillary collecting tubule (RPCT) cells formed hemicysts and adhered with morphological asymmetry to Millipore filters. Cultures of 1-day-old RPCT cells synthesized cAMP in response to arginine vasopressin (AVP) (half-maximal response to 10(-10) M), oxytocin, and parathyroid hormone (half-maximal responses at 5 X 10(-9) M) but not to adrenergic agents. After 10 days of growth (fourfold increase in cell number) RPCT cells retained the same pattern of histochemical and hormonal responses as 1-day-old cells. Hormones were tested for their influence on the release of immunoreactive prostaglandins (iPG) by RPCT cells; the major product under both basal and stimulated conditions was iPGE2. At very low concentrations (greater than or equal to 10(-10) M), bradykinin, lysyl-bradykinin, and methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin caused four- to sixfold increases in the rate of iPGE2 formation within 3 min; smaller (less than twofold) increases were observed with relatively high concentrations of epinephrine (10(-5) M), norepinephrine (10(-5) M), and angiotensin II (10(-7) M), but only after longer incubations. Significantly, neither AVP (10(-7) M) nor [deamino]AVP (10(-7) M) caused prostaglandin release by RPCT cells. Our results indicate that kinins can act directly on the collecting tubule to elicit PGE2 formation; furthermore, this effect of kinins may be natriuretic, since PGE2 has been shown to inhibit Na+ resorption by the medullary collecting tubule and thick ascending limb.
