Abstract:
The renal DCT is important for the renal control of Na and K homeostasis. It also contributes to renal acid secretion and calcium and magnesium reabsorption. DCT function is difficult to study as the DCT is a rather short and difficult to identify nephron portion. Its hidden localization in the renal cortical labyrinth makes it also almost inaccessible to direct functional measurements. Recently, the group of R.L. Miller applied large-particle based flow cytometry (Complex Object Parametric Analysis and Sorting COPAS) (AJP Renal Physiol. 2006 Jul.) for large-scale sampling of collecting ducts (CD) using a transgenic mouse expressing GFP in CD. We used the same COPAS technique with a transgenic mouse expressing EGFP in the DCT in order to obtain large quantities of DCTs. Optimization of the COPAS sorting technique allows us to obtain up to 15000 fluorescent DCTs from one single mouse in less than three hours. Microscopical analysis revealed that almost all sorted tubules exhibit green fluorescence. Only occasionally some non-fluorescent tubule segments were attached. Western blot analysis confirmed the significant enrichment of the DCT-specific thiazide sensitive NaCl cotransporter in the sorted samples. Marker proteins for other nephron segments (i.e. NapiIIa - proximal tubule, NKCC2 thick ascending limb, AQP2 connecting tubule/collecting duct) were not detectable. Thus, COPAS allows rapid isolation of rather pure DCT preparations. These preparations will allow us now to study regulatory pathways involved in the DCT functions in vivo and to develop DCT cell culture for further functional testing in vitro.
