Improved separation method for rat proximal and distal renal tubules

Abstract: We modified and improved enzyme digestion and density gradient separation procedures to obtain fractions of proximal and distal renal tubules with high yield and viability. Kidneys from two anesthetized adult Wistar rats were flushed with Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) and then perfused in situ with recirculated KHB containing collagenase and hyaluronidase at 125 mmHg. Cortices were excised, minced, and incubated in KHB containing enzymes for 35 min at 37 degrees C. Dissociated tubules were removed at 10-min int… Show more

“…PTH caused concentration-dependent cyclic AMP increases ( l0-9 M PTH: P < 0.01 compared with control), arginine vasopressin caused no change in cyclic AMP, and All elicited concentration-dependent cyclic AMP decreases (10-6 M All: P = 0.09 compared with control). These data were consistent with known proximal tubule cell responses to each hormone ( 12,(27)(28)(29). Further elucidation of proximal tubule cell function was provided by 22Na transport studies.…”

“…Our conclusion is that PT isolated by traditional methods indeed can carry with them endothelial cell contamination, in addition to being up to 5% contaminated with other types of epithelial cells (that may express caveolins) (17). It is, however, possible that some isolation procedures may produce more highly purified tubules (20). Indeed, neither caveolins nor the endothelial markers ICAM1 and CD31 were reported in a recent systematic transcriptome analysis (http://dir.nhlbi.nih.gov/papers/lkem/pttr/ Default.aspx) performed on isolated rat PTs (53).…”

“…14,15 Rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, IP). After a midline incision, selective perfusion of the kidneys was performed with modified Krebs-Hensleit buffer containing collagenase type IV (230 U/mL) and hyaluronidase type III (250 U/mL).…”
