Abstract

During kidney development the embryonic collecting duct (CD) epithelium changes its function. The capability for nephron induction is lost and the epithelium develops into functional principal (P) and intercalated (IC) cells. Aldosterone is able to modulate this differentiation. Consequently we investigated whether increased concentrations of extracellular NaCl or Na gluconate may also have an influence on the development of individual CD cell features. Embryonic CD epithelia were isolated from neonatal rabbit kidneys, placed on tissue carriers and cultured in gradient containers, which were constantly perfused with medium for 13 days. Isotonic culture conditions could be mimicked, when on both the luminal and basal side standard Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) was used. In another set of experiments, gradient culture was performed. Standard IMDM was applied on the basal side and IMDM supplemented with 12 mM NaCl and 17 mM Na gluconate on the luminal side. This adaptation of IMDM led to the same Na concentrations as found in the serum of neonatal rabbits. The development of CD cell features was monitored by cellular markers such as the monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) 703 and 503 recognizing P and IC cell features respectively. Epithelia cultured under isotonic conditions showed less than 5% Mab 703- and 503-immunopositive cells. In contrast, epithelia cultured in a luminal-basal medium gradient revealed more than 80% positive cells. Immunoreactivity started to develop after a long lag period of 4 days, then increased continuously during the following 5 days and reached a maximum at day 14. When the medium gradient was then changed to an isotonic environment for another 5 days immunoreactivity for Mab 703 remained stable, while the number of Mab 503-positive cells was found to be decreased to 10%. Thus, the extra-cellular electrolyte environment not only induces but also preserves individual cell features.
