Immortalized rat proximal tubule cell (IRPTC) lines should be useful for investigation of proximal tubule (PT) regulation and function but previously have been unavailable. We now report the establishment and characterization of an immortalized transformed, temperature-sensitive IRPTC cell line containing renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components. Primary PT cells prepared from male Wistar rats (4-5 wk old) after collagenase digestion, sieving, and Percoll gradient were cultured on collagen-coated T-75 flasks in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 5% fetal calf serum. Subconfluent PT cells were transfected with the temperature-sensitive SV40 mutant viruses (tsA SV40) by direct exposure. After 7-8 wk, several clones were obtained, from which one has been characterized and designated as line 3-2. This cell line appears stable up to 45 passages. Clonal cells transformed with this virus exhibit a transformed phenotype at a permissive temperature of 34 degrees C and grow in multiple layers. When the cells are subsequently placed at a nonpermissive temperature of 41 degrees C, they return to morphology similar to that of untransformed cells of the same lineage. At either 34 degrees C or 41 degrees C, this cell line expresses a variety of PT markers including alkaline phosphatase, cytokeratin, carbonic anhydrase, and glucose transporter isoform 2 (GLUT2), while not expressing factor VIII. Uniquely, these cells also appear to express PT proteins gp330 and CHIP28, markers which are usually lost in cultured cells. Furthermore, the cell line expresses protein and mRNA components of RAS, including angiotensinogen, angiotensin converting enzyme, and renin. The IRPTC cell line expresses few angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors at 34 degrees C, the permissive temperature. However, at the nonpermissive temperature, 41 degrees C, IRPTC expresses ANG II receptor (dissociation constant of 0.7 nM; maximum binding capacity of 265 fmol/mg protein). ANG II (10(-8) M) induced a transient rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, which was nearly abolished with losartan but not PD-123319, suggesting this finding is AT1 receptor mediated. This cell line should provide an excellent model of PT and should make it possible to study the cell and molecular biology of the RAS, as well as other regulatory systems of the PT.

D007687 Kidney Tubules, Proximal The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.

D012084 Renin-Angiotensin System A BLOOD PRESSURE regulating system of interacting components that include RENIN; ANGIOTENSINOGEN; ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME; ANGIOTENSIN I; ANGIOTENSIN II; and angiotensinase. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.
