Abstract

Working with isolated perfused S2 proximal tubules, we asked whether the basolateral CO2 sensor acts, in part, by raising intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), monitored with the dye fura 2 (or fura-PE3). In paired experiments, adding 5% CO2/22 mM [Formula: see text] (constant pH 7.40) to the bath (basolateral) solution caused [Ca2+]i to increase from 57 ± 3 to 97 ± 9nM( n = 8, P < 0.002), whereas the same maneuver in the lumen had no effect. Intracellular pH (pHi), measured with the dye BCECF, fell by 0.54 ± 0.08 ( n = 14) when we added [Formula: see text] to the lumen. In 14 tubules in which we added [Formula: see text] to the bath, pHi fell by 0.55 ± 0.11 in 9 with a high initial pHi, but rose by 0.28 ± 0.07 in the other 5 with a low initial pHi. Thus it cannot be a pHi change that triggers the [Ca2+]i increase. Introducing to the bath an out-of-equilibrium (OOE) solution containing 20% CO2/no [Formula: see text] caused [Ca2+]i to rise by 62 ± 17 nM ( n = 10), whereas an OOE solution containing 0% CO2/22 mM [Formula: see text] caused only a trivial increase. Removing Ca2+ from the lumen and bath, or adding 10 μM nifedipine (L- and T-type Ca2+-channel blocker) or 2 μM thapsigargin [sarco-(endo) plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor] or 4 μM rotenone (mitochondrial inhibitor) to the lumen and bath, failed to reduce the CO2-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. Adding 10 mM caffeine (ryanodine-receptor agonist) had no effect on [Ca2+]i. Thus basolateral CO2, presumably via a basolateral sensor, triggers the release of Ca2+ from a nonconventional intracellular pool.
