To better understand the role that water and urea fluxes play in the urine concentrating mechanism, we determined transepithelial osmotic water permeability (Pf) and urea permeability (Purea) in isolated perfused Munich-Wistar rat long-loop descending thin limbs (DTLs) and ascending thin limbs (ATLs). Thin limbs were isolated either from 0.5 to 2.5 mm below the outer medulla (upper inner medulla) or from the terminal 2.5 mm of the inner medulla. Segment types were characterized on the basis of structural features and gene expression levels of the water channel aquaporin 1, which was high in the upper DTL (DTLupper), absent in the lower DTL (DTLlower), and absent in ATLs, and the Cl-1channel ClCK1, which was absent in DTLs and high in ATLs. DTLupperPfwas high (3,204.5 ± 450.3 μm/s), whereas DTLlowershowed very little or no osmoticPf(207.8 ± 241.3 μm/s). Munich-Wistar rat ATLs have previously been shown to exhibit noPf. DTLupperPureawas 40.0 ± 7.3 × 10−5cm/s and much higher in DTLlower(203.8 ± 30.3 × 10−5cm/s), upper ATL (203.8 ± 35.7 × 10−5cm/s), and lower ATL (265.1 ± 49.8 × 10−5cm/s). Phloretin (0.25 mM) did not reduce DTLupperPurea, suggesting thatPureais not due to urea transporter UT-A2, which is expressed in short-loop DTLs and short portions of some inner medullary DTLs close to the outer medulla. In summary,Pureais similar in all segments having no osmoticPfbut is significantly lower in DTLupper, a segment having high osmoticPf. These data are inconsistent with the passive mechanism as originally proposed.
