In the medullary thick ascending limb ( MTAL) of rat kidney, inhibiting basolateral Na+/H+ exchange with either amiloride or nerve growth factor (NGF) results secondarily in inhibition of apical Na+/H+ exchange, thereby decreasing transepithelial HCO3- absorption. To assess the possible role of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 in this regulatory process, MTALs from wild-type and NHE1 knockout (NHE1(-/-)) mice were studied using in vitro microperfusion. The rate of HCO3- absorption was decreased 60% in NHE1(-/-) MTALs (15.4 +/- 0.5 pmol . min(-1) . mm(-1) wild-type vs. 6.0 +/- 0.5 pmol . min(-1) . mm(-1) NHE1(-/-)). Transepithelial voltage, an index of the NaCl absorption rate, did not differ in wild-type and NHE1(-/-) MTALs. Basolateral addition of 10 muM amiloride or 0.7 nM NGF decreased HCO3- absorption by 45 - 49% in wild-type MTALs but had no effect on HCO3- absorption in NHE1(-/-) MTALs. Inhibition of HCO3- absorption by vasopressin and stimulation by hyposmolality, both of which regulate MTAL HCO3- absorption through primary effects on apical Na+/H+ exchange, were similar in wild-type and NHE1(-/-) MTALs. Thus the regulatory defect in NHE1(-/-) MTALs is specific for factors ( bath amiloride and NGF) shown previously to inhibit HCO3- absorption through primary effects on basolateral Na+/H+ exchange. These findings demonstrate a novel role for NHE1 in transepithelial HCO3- absorption in the MTAL, in which basolateral NHE1 controls the activity of apical NHE3. Paradoxically, a reduction in NHE1-mediated H+ extrusion across the basolateral membrane leads to a decrease in apical Na+/H+ exchange activity that reduces HCO3- absorption.
