The collecting tubule may be involved in regulation of extracellular fluid volume. Cl transport across the in vitro-perfused rabbit cortical collecting tubule was evaluated inasmuch as Cl- ultimately may affect extracellular fluid volume. Tubules were perfused and bathed with artificial solutions simulating ultrafiltrate. Four groups of studies were conducted. In groups 1 and 2, tubules from rabbits not receiving deoxycorticosterone (DOCA) were compared to tubules from rabbits which had received DOCA (5 mg/day) for 1 wk. In groups 3 and 4, tubules were obtained only from rabbits not receiving DOCA. In group 1, sequential bidirectional Cl fluxes were measured. The ratio of Cl efflux to influx was 0.99 .+-. 0.04 in tubules obtained from rabbits not receiving DOCA, whereas it was 1.28 .+-. 0.09 in tubules obtained from rabbits receiving DOCA, suggesting stimulation of net Cl flux under these conditions. In group 2, chemical Cl concentration and osmolality of collected fluid were measured. Neither chemical Cl concentration nor osmolality of the collected fluid decreased significantly below their respective perfusion fluid values in tubules from non-DOCA-treated rabbits, but there was a significant decrease in the chemical Cl concentration (10-42 meq/l) and osmolality (10-42 mosmol/kg H2O) of collected fluid in tubules from DOCA-treated rabbits. In group 3, unidirectional Cl permeabilities from lumen-to-bath were determined during the passage of current down the perfusion pipette. Alterations of the average lumen potential, -35 .+-. 4 and +28 .+-. 2 mV, did not influence unidirectional Cl movement suggesting that the cortical collecting tubule is quite impermeable to Cl. In group 4, unidirectional Cl permeability from lumen-to-bath was measured before and after substitution of NaCH3SO4 for NaCl in the bath. Replacement of Cl by CH3SO4 reversibly decreased apparent Cl permeability from 2.41 .+-. 0.50 to 0.69 .+-. 0.08 .times. (10-5 cm/s) demonstrating that 36Cl permeability is dependent on the chemical concentration of Cl. The cortical collecting tubule was able to reabsorb salt under the modulation of circulating mineralocorticoids and, thus, may participate in overall volume homeostasis. The Cl permeability and major portion of isotopic Cl flux across the cortical collecting tubule was via exchange diffusion. Under certain circumstances the cortical collecting tubule may act as a diluting segment.
