Abstract

The kidney plays a fundamental role in maintaining body salt and fluid balance and blood pressure homeostasis through the actions of its proximal and distal tubular segments of nephrons. However, proximal tubules are well recognized to exert a more prominent role than distal counterparts. Proximal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing approximately 65% of filtered load and most, if not all, of filtered amino acids, glucose, solutes, and low molecular weight proteins. Proximal tubules also play a key role in regulating acid‐base balance by reabsorbing approximately 80% of filtered bicarbonate. The purpose of this review article is to provide a comprehensive overview of new insights and perspectives into current understanding of proximal tubules of nephrons, with an emphasis on the ultrastructure, molecular biology, cellular and integrative physiology, and the underlying signaling transduction mechanisms. The review is divided into three closely related sections. The first section focuses on the classification of nephrons and recent perspectives on the potential role of nephron numbers in human health and diseases. The second section reviews recent research on the structural and biochemical basis of proximal tubular function. The final section provides a comprehensive overview of new insights and perspectives in the physiological regulation of proximal tubular transport by vasoactive hormones. In the latter section, attention is particularly paid to new insights and perspectives learnt from recent cloning of transporters, development of transgenic animals with knockout or knockin of a particular gene of interest, and mapping of signaling pathways using microarrays and/or physiological proteomic approaches. © 2013 American Physiological Society.

Schematic location and ultrastructure of proximal tubular S1‐S3 segments in superficial and juxtamedullary neprhons. For superficial nephrons, S1 segments begin at the urinary pole of the renal corpuscle in the superficial cortex, transform gradually to S2 segments within the labyrinth, and S2 are transformed at different levels within the medullary rays. S3 segments terminate at the border of the outer stripe (OS) to the inner stripe. For juxtamedullary nephrons, S1 and S2 segments start at the urinary pole of the renal corpuscle in the inner cortex, and S3 segments also terminate at the border of the OS to the inner stripe. (A) The S1 segment has the most extensive cellular interdigitation and dense brush border membranes. (B) The vacuolar apparatus in the subapical cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes in proximal tubule cells. (C) The rabbit has tallest brush border microvilli in proximal tubule cells. (D) Many other species shows shortest microvilli in proximal tubule cells.

Localization of Na+‐K+‐ATPase α1‐ and γ‐subunits and aquaporin‐1 (AQP1) in the renal cortex. AQP1 was used as a marker of proximal tubule. Kidney cortex was triple labeled with α1‐ (red, TSA‐Cy3), AQP1 (green, FITC), and γ‐subunit (blue, Cy5) antibodies. Proximal segments (PCT) containing AQP1 stain were lightly labeled with α1‐ and γ‐subunits (bottom right: merged image). Conversely, distal segments (DCT) that were not labeled by the AQP1 antibody were brightly stained by α1‐ and γ‐subunits (bottom right: merged image). Scale bar, 50 μm.

Figure 19. Figure 19.

A schematic diagram showing GRK4 and renal dopamine and ANG II type 1 receptor interactions to regulate renal tubular transport and blood pressure homeostasis. During conditions of moderately increased NaCl intake, the renal D1R is stimulated by dopamine produced in the kidney. The D1R or D3R, whose coupling to G protein subunits is regulated by G protein‐coupled receptor kinase type 4 (GRK4), inhibits sodium reabsorption in several nephron segments. This results in an increase in sodium excretion and maintenance of normal blood pressure. GRK4 wild‐type (GRK4 WT) also negatively regulates AT1R transcription. The decrease in AT1R expression, caused by GRK4 WT, facilitates the inhibitory effect of D1R on renal sodium transport. In essential hypertension, constitutively active variants of GRK4 not only uncouple D1R and D3R from G protein subunits, but also increase AT1R transcription in the kidney. These effects impair the ability of the kidney to excrete the excess sodium load, resulting in sodium retention, and ultimately hypertension.

Figure 19.

A schematic diagram showing GRK4 and renal dopamine and ANG II type 1 receptor interactions to regulate renal tubular transport and blood pressure homeostasis. During conditions of moderately increased NaCl intake, the renal D1R is stimulated by dopamine produced in the kidney. The D1R or D3R, whose coupling to G protein subunits is regulated by G protein‐coupled receptor kinase type 4 (GRK4), inhibits sodium reabsorption in several nephron segments. This results in an increase in sodium excretion and maintenance of normal blood pressure. GRK4 wild‐type (GRK4 WT) also negatively regulates AT1R transcription. The decrease in AT1R expression, caused by GRK4 WT, facilitates the inhibitory effect of D1R on renal sodium transport. In essential hypertension, constitutively active variants of GRK4 not only uncouple D1R and D3R from G protein subunits, but also increase AT1R transcription in the kidney. These effects impair the ability of the kidney to excrete the excess sodium load, resulting in sodium retention, and ultimately hypertension. Green box, normal coupling of D1R and D3R to G protein subunits; red box, uncoupling of D1R and D3R from G protein subunits. Green arrows, stimulatory; red arrows, inhibitory.

The intrarenal distribution of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) receptors in the rat kidney, as visualized by quantitative in vitro autoradiography using [125I]‐labeled ANF as the radioligand. High levels of ANF receptor binding occur in the glomeruli (G) and the inner medulla (IM), whereas moderate levels of ANF binding are seen in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and inner stripe of the outer medulla (VRB). Red represents highest whereas black the lowest levels of ANF receptor binding. Reproduced from Zhuo and Mendelsohn, with permission (583).
