Stimulation of the basolateral Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase in the isolated perfused rabbit cortical collecting duct by raising either bath potassium or lumen sodium increases potassium secretion, sodium absorption and their apical conductances. Here we determined the effect of stimulating Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase on potassium secretion without luminal sodium transport. Acutely raising bath potassium concentrations from 2.5 to 8.5 mM, without luminal sodium, depolarized the basolateral membrane and transepithelial voltages while increasing the transepithelial, basolateral and apical membrane conductances of principal cells. Fractional apical membrane resistance and cell pH were elevated. Net potassium secretion was maintained albeit diminished and was still enhanced by raising bath potassium, but was reduced by basolateral ethylisopropylamiloride, an inhibitor of Na(+)/H(+) exchange. Luminal iberitoxin, a specific inhibitor of the calcium-activated big-conductance potassium (BK) channel, impaired potassium secretion both in the presence and absence of luminal sodium. In contrast, iberitoxin did not affect luminal sodium transport. We conclude that basolateral Na(+)/H(+) exchange in the cortical collecting duct plays an important role in maintaining potassium secretion during compromised sodium supplies and that BK channels contribute to potassium secretion.

D007685 Kidney Tubules, Collecting Straight tubes commencing in the radiate part of the kidney cortex where they receive the curved ends of the distal convoluted tubules. In the medulla the collecting tubules of each pyramid converge to join a central tube (duct of Bellini) which opens on the summit of the papilla. Kidney Collecting Ducts,Kidney Collecting Duct,Collecting Duct, Kidney,Collecting Ducts, Kidney
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
