Potassium permeable channels in primary cultures of rabbit cortical collecting tubules. Rabbit cortical collecting tubule (RCCT) primary cultures, were grown on permeable, collagen supports with 1.5 µMaldosterone. Single K+permeable channels in principal cell apical membranes were examined. At applied patch pipette potential (Vapp) from -60 to +60 mV (cell interior with respect to pipette interior), outward currents (cell to pipette) with a unitary conductance of 8 to 10 pS were seen in cell-attached (N = 31) and excised inside-out (N = 15) patches. At resting membrane potential (Vapp= 0 mV), mean open probability (Po= 0.85 ± 0.16) decreased by 50% with 0.75 mMluminal BaCl2exposure. In cell-attached patches, a second type of outward current was seen only at extreme depolarization, Vapp> +80 mV (N = 9). Usually in the closed state (Po< 0.0005) at no applied potential, Pofor this 150 pS channel increased dramatically with depolarization and/or raising cytoplasmic Ca2+. With a calculated K+equilibrium potential of -84 mV, excised patch reversal potentials were < -50 mV for both the above channel types, indicating high selectivity for K+over Na+. In cultures grown without aldosterone low conductance K+channels were rarely observed, while mineralocorticoid status did not appear to affect high conductance K+channel frequency. Finally, a 30 pS cation channel was found to be nonselective for K+over Na+, and insensitive to voltage, intracellular Ca2+or luminal Ba2+. We conclude that: 1) Principal cell apical membranes from aldosterone-stimulated, RCCT primary cultures contain (a) low conductance, Ba2+-inhibitable and (b) high conductance, Ca2+/voltage-dependent K+channels; and c) nonselective cation channels. 2) The low conductance K+channel may play an important physiologic role in native RCCT mineralocorticoid-controlled K+secretion, while the latter two channels' functions are unknown, although similar channels have been suggested to play a role in cell volume regulation.
