"Pendrin (Pds; Slc26A4) is a new anion exchanger that is believed to mediate apical Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange in type B and non-A-non-B intercalated cells of the connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct. Recently, it has been proposed that this transporter may be involved in NaCl balance and blood pressure regulation in addition to its participation in the regulation of acid-base status. The purpose of our study was to determine the regulation of Pds protein abundance during chronic changes in chloride balance. Rats were subjected to either NaCl, NH(4)Cl, NaHCO(3), KCl, or KHCO(3) loading for 6 days or to a low-NaCl diet or chronic furosemide administration. Pds protein abundance was estimated by semiquantitative immunoblotting in renal membrane fractions isolated from the cortex of treated and control rats. We observed a consistent inverse relationship between Pds expression and diet-induced changes in chloride excretion independent of the administered cation. Conversely, NaCl depletion induced by furosemide was associated with increased Pds expression. We conclude that Pds expression is specifically regulated in response to changes in chloride balance."

"The Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE2 is believed to be involved in transcellular bicarbonate reabsorption that occurs in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL). The purpose of this study was to test whether chronic changes in acid-base status and sodium intake regulate AE2 polypeptide abundance in the TAL of the rat. Rats were subjected to 6 d of loading with NaCl, NH(4)Cl, NaHCO(3), KCl, or KHCO(3). AE2 protein abundance was estimated by semiquantitative immunoblotting in renal membrane fractions isolated from the cortex and the outer medulla of treated and control rats. In the renal cortex, AE2 abundance was markedly increased in response to oral loading with NH(4)Cl or with NaCl. In contrast, AE2 abundance was unchanged in response to loading with KCl or with NaHCO(3) and was decreased by loading with KHCO(3). The response of AE2 in the outer medulla differed from that in the cortex in that HCO(3)(-) loading increased AE2 abundance when administered with Na(+) but had no effect when administered with K(+). Immunohistochemistry revealed that NaCl loading increased AE2 abundance in the basolateral membrane of both the cortical and the medullary TAL. In contrast, NH(4)Cl loading increased AE2 abundance only in the cortical TAL but not in the medullary TAL. These results suggest that regulation of the basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE2 plays an important role in the adaptation of bicarbonate absorption in the TAL during chronic acid-base disturbances and high sodium intake. The present study also emphasizes the contribution of cortical TAL adaptation in the renal regulation of acid-base status."
