6 H* Q, ?5 B9 V m2 @/ K Glucocorticoids are involved in many aspects of regulation of acid-base homeostasis, including the stimulation of renal ammoniagenesis during chronic metabolic acidosis. Plasma glutamine is the principal substrate for ammoniagenesis under these conditions. Expression of the System N glutamine transporter SNAT3 is increased in the renal proximal tubules during acidosis. In vivo studies in rats using 1 ) sham and adrenalectomized rats, 2 ) the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486, and 3 ) dexamethasone treatment demonstrated involvement of glucocorticoids in regulation of SNAT3 expression. Adrenalectomy attenuated the acidosis-induced increase in renal cortical SNAT3 mRNA 40%, and treatment with dexamethasone (1 mg·kg -1 ·day -1 sc) partially reversed this effect. RU486 also blunted the acidosis-induced increase in SNAT3 expression 50%. Chronic dexamethasone treatment (0.1 mg·kg -1 ·day -1 sc, 6 days) of normal rats slightly increased SNAT3 expression. In all cases, renal glutamine arteriovenous difference mirrored SNAT3 expression and activity in the proximal tubules, suggesting that SNAT3 regulates glutamine uptake during acidosis. These studies indicate that glucocorticoids regulate acid-base homeostasis during metabolic acidosis in part by regulating expression of the System N transporter SNAT3. " w. y _& ~1 J) G% ?& {5 c

THE KIDNEY PLAYS A VITAL ROLE in maintaining acid-base homeostasis during chronic metabolic acidosis. Under acidotic conditions, a number of adaptive changes occur throughout the kidney, acting in concert to reduce the acid load and restore acid-base balance. The renal proximal convoluted tubule is the site of remarkable coordinated changes that result in increased ammoniagenesis that is sustained for the duration of acidosis ( 16, 30 ). These changes include enhanced uptake and metabolism of glutamine, the principal substrate for renal ammoniagenesis during acidosis ( 39 ). Asymmetric secretion from the proximal tubule of ammonium ions into the urine and bicarbonate ions into the blood functions to return acid-base balance toward normal. Ammonium and bicarbonate ions are both products of glutamine metabolism, a single molecule of glutamine producing two ammonium and two bicarbonate ions. Under normal conditions, the kidney releases low levels of glutamine 40% of the glutamine presented to the kidney in the blood is extracted ( 36, 38 ), so that the kidney becomes the body's principal consumer of glutamine.% K: {; A, Z; C5 b# y' |; Y/ T
8 M; z5 `: _- G: i: q* H- sStudies using adrenalectomized (ADX) rats suggest that glucocorticoids are involved in acid-base homeostasis during metabolic acidosis. This observation is consistent with elevated plasma corticosterone concentration during acidosis in rats ( 28, 42 ). ADX rats that are challenged with an acid load have a reduced ability to increase renal ammoniagenesis ( 33, 46 ). During metabolic acidosis, the kidneys of these animals cannot increase glutamine uptake from the blood or increase glutamine metabolism to the same degree as adrenal-intact rats ( 46 ). Glucocorticoid treatment of ADX rats before induction of acidosis partially restores their ability to extract glutamine from the blood ( 46 ). Glucocorticoids also increase ammonia excretion in the intact animal ( 19 ) and ammonia production by perfused kidneys ( 44 ). These studies suggest that glucocorticoids play a direct or indirect role in regulation of acidosis-induced glutamine metabolism.8 C S7 u: r7 w$ `1 G4 I+ G' s$ {
' w/ i) l( C/ C q+ EWe reported that the acidosis-induced increase in renal glutamine uptake is accomplished by increased expression of the System N transporter in the proximal convoluted tubule of acidotic rats ( 23 ). This observation was recently confirmed by others ( 37 ). The System N transporter, previously known as SN1, has been renamed SNAT3 in recognition of its identity as a member of the SCL38 gene family of sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporters ( 25 ). SNAT3 is located in the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule epithelial cells ( 37 ) and transports one glutamine molecule and one sodium ion in exchange for one proton ( 7, 10 ). The transporter mediates glutamine flux in both directions, depending on substrate gradients ( 7 ) and is associated with an uncoupled proton conductance that can serve to minimize the proton flux produced by a transport-coupled proton antiport ( 7, 10 ).

We studied regulation of renal cortical SNAT3 expression by glucocorticoids during chronic metabolic acidosis in vivo using normal and ADX rats and the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486. Data from our studies suggest that glucocorticoids maintain acid-base homeostasis, in part, by altering renal glutamine uptake via regulation of expression of the SNAT3 transporter.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River, Wilmington, MA), weighing 250-300 g, were maintained in a 12:12-h light-dark cycle with unrestricted access to rat chow and water or water containing 1.5% NH 4 Cl. Metabolic acidosis was maintained for varying lengths of time, up to 6 days. ADX (bilateral) rats and sham-operated controls purchased from Charles River were used for some experiments. Both sham and ADX rats were maintained on 0.9% saline substituted for their drinking water before experimentation. We followed a modification of the protocol of Welbourne and colleagues ( 46 ) that adjusts the NH 4 Cl concentration because ADX rats drink approximately twice the volume that intact rats drink. ADX rats were given 0.6% NH 4 Cl in saline, and sham acidotic rats were given 1.2% NH 4 Cl in saline so that they consumed approximately equal acid loads. ADX rats were exposed to acidosis for only 2 days because of significant mortality in acidotic ADX rats after 3 days. For some experiments, normal rats were treated acutely (5 mg/kg sc, once) or chronically (100 µg/rat sc, once a day for up to 6 days) with dexamethasone. The body weight of control rats increased steadily during the experimental period (259 ± 4 g at day 0, 295 ± 4 g at day 6 ), whereas the body weight of chronically treated rats decreased for the first 3 days and then stabilized (255 ± 3 at day 0, 240 ± 4 g at day 6 ).

Measurement of blood gases, pH, and glutamine concentration. Arterial blood pH and P CO 2 were measured using an IL BG3 blood-gas machine (model 1420, Instrumentation Laboratory, Lexington, MA). Blood HCO 3 - concentration was automatically calculated from the measured pH and P CO 2. Plasma glutamine levels were measured in triplicate by a modified spectrophotometric assay using a colorimetric assay kit (Boeringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany) adapted to a 96-well plate format with a microplate spectrophotometer. Glutamine arteriovenous (AV) difference was calculated as (arterial - renal vein) plasma glutamine concentration.

Protein was measured using the Bradford assay with BSA as a standard. BLMV were prepared at the same time from all groups to be compared in a specific experiment to minimize variation among the preparations. Renal cortices from two to five animals were pooled for each BLMV preparation. Vesicle relative enrichment was estimated using ouabain-inhibitable ATPase activity in BLMV compared with the homogenate ( 14 ). The relative enrichment did not vary significantly among preparations for the RU486 experiments (control 16 ± 2-, acidosis 27 ± 9-, acidosis RU486 18 ± 3-fold increase over homogenate; P = 0.3, ANOVA) or the chronic dexamethasone experiments (control 17 ± 3-, dexamethasone 14 ± 3-fold increase over homogenate; P = 0.5, t -test).

Part of the cell lysate was counted in a TopCount scintillation spectrophotometer (Packard, Meriden, CT), and part was used for protein determination. The rate of glutamine transport was linear at 5 min and was expressed as nanomoles per milligram protein per minute.

Cloning of the rat SNAT3 promoter. A rat genomic library (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) was screened using a SNAT3-specific probe. One positive plaque was identified and isolated by limiting dilution. The purified phage contained an insert of 12 kb, all of which represent a genomic sequence from the SNAT3 gene, based on comparison with the published rat genomic sequence (GenBank NW_047801.1). A 3.7-kb Xho I restriction fragment of the rat genomic clone that contains 2.4 kb of the 5'-flanking sequence, exon I (untranslated) and 1.3 kb of intron 1 was subcloned into Bluescript and sequenced (Molecular Genetics Core Facility at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine). The Transcription Factor Search program TFSearch (Yutaka Akiyama: "TFSEARCH: Searching Transcription Factor Binding Sites"; http://www.rwcp.or.jp/papia/ ) was used to identify potential transcription factor binding sites in the 5'-flanking region. A series of SNAT3 promoter fragments (5'-boundaries -2,414 -815, -132, -78 with a common 3' boundary at 20 with respect to the published rat SNAT3 cDNA sequence, GenBank AF273025 ) was amplified by PCR using the cloned phage DNA as a template and cloned into the multiple cloning site of the pCAT3-Basic reporter vector (Promega, Madison, WI).

ADX rats are less able than sham-operated rats to maintain acid-base homeostasis during chronic metabolic acidosis. Five groups of rats were studied: 1 ) sham-operated, 2 ) ADX, 3 ) 2-day acidotic sham-operated, 4 ) 2-day acidotic ADX, and 5 ) 2-day acidotic ADX pretreated for 2 days and throughout acidosis with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (1 mg·kg -1 ·day -1 sc). Table 1 shows the arterial (systemic) pH and bicarbonate concentration and renal glutamine AV difference in each group of rats. The effect of adrenalectomy on the acid-base status and renal glutamine AV difference of normal and acidotic rats was similar to that previously reported ( 11, 30, 46 ). After 2 days of ingesting ammonium chloride, both sham and ADX rats became acidotic, but ADX rats were more severely acidotic than sham rats. Chronic acidosis also increased glutamine AV difference in both sham and ADX rats, but the increase was significantly attenuated in ADX rats. Dexamethasone treatment improved the ability of acidotic ADX rats to compensate for the acid load, as indicated by increased blood pH and serum bicarbonate concentration. In addition, glutamine AV difference in these rats reverted toward the level in acidotic sham rats.9 r% L1 K0 n* h" Q

Dexamethasone increases SNAT3 mRNA and SNAT3-mediated glutamine transport but does not activate the SNAT3 promoter in renal epithelial cells. SNAT3 mRNA and SNAT3-mediated basolateral glutamine transport (control 214 ± 88 nmol·mg -1 ·min -1, dexamethasone, 558 ± 96 nmol·mg -1 ·min -1 ) are increased 50 ( P = 0.01) and 250% ( P = 0.01), respectively, by 0.01 µM dexamethasone treatment of glucocorticoid-responsive GR101 cells in culture ( Fig. 5 A ). GR101 cells are porcine epithelial-like LLC-PK 1 cells that express rat glucocorticoid receptors ( 41 ). To determine whether glucocorticoids increased SNAT3 expression via increased transcription of the SNAT3 gene, we cloned and sequenced 2.4 kb of the 5'-flanking region of the rat SNAT3 gene from a rat genomic library. Analysis of the 5'-flanking sequence using the TFSearch program identified a number of potential glucocorticoid response elements. The promoter contains no TATA or CCAAT box sequences, but a GC-rich region containing three potential SP1 sites is present, 100 bases upstream from the 5'-end of exon I. A series of pCAT reporter vectors containing up to 2.4 kb of SNAT3 5'-flanking sequence was used to transiently transfect GR101 cells. The transfected cells were incubated in the presence or absence of 0.01 or 0.1 µM dexamethasone for 48 h. Data from 0.01 and 0.1 µM dexamethasone were combined because there was no difference between them. The promoterless expression vector pCAT3-Basic showed negligible CAT activity, whereas the pCAT.SNAT3 vector containing the longest promoter segment tested ( 2.4 kb) exhibited a 15-fold increase in basal activity, indicating that this 5'-flanking region of the SNAT3 promoter contains a functional promoter. The active promoter constructs did not, however, respond to dexamethasone treatment ( Fig. 5 B ). The pCAT.SNAT3 vector containing only the proximal 78 bases of the flanking region was transcriptionally inactive, presumably because three Sp1 binding sites between -101 and -78 are absent from this construct. Glucocorticoid responsiveness of the GR101 cells was verified by transfection with the dexamethasone-responsive pGREtkCAT plasmid that contains two inverted glucocorticoid response elements followed by the thymidine kinase promoter. CAT activity of pGREtkCAT increased approximately fivefold in response to 100 nM dexamethasone. The SNAT3 promoter constructs used in these studies (except the inactive -78-bp construct) are activated by incubation in acidic medium. CAT activity of the constructs increases approximately twofold in GR101 and LLC-PK 1 cells in response to acidosis (not shown).

The plasma concentration of glucocorticoids is increased in response to metabolic acidosis ( 28, 42 ), resulting in activation or suppression of a variety of activities or pathways that act in concert to maintain blood pH within strict limits. Early studies using ADX dogs and rats identified the kidneys as an important site of glucocorticoid action during metabolic acidosis. Of particular interest to us was the defect in renal glutamine uptake and induction of ammoniagenesis exhibited by ADX animals ( 11, 18, 33, 46 ). During acidosis, SNAT3 transporter expression and SNAT3-mediated glutamine transport activity are induced in the proximal tubules ( 23, 37 ), the site of increased glutamine metabolism and ammoniagenesis ( 16, 35 ). We hypothesized that glucocorticoids regulate acid-base homeostasis during acidosis, in part, by increasing glutamine availability for ammoniagenesis through upregulation of SNAT3 transporter expression./ }8 }6 Z2 F) ^5 K
) a) {4 S1 J# I8 f" i$ rIn our studies using sham-operated and ADX rats, renal cortical SNAT3 mRNA was increased by metabolic acidosis in sham animals. This response was attenuated in ADX animals, and treatment of ADX animals with dexamethasone partially reversed the effect of adrenalectomy ( Fig. 1 A ), suggesting that glucocorticoids have a role in acidosis-induced activation of SNAT3 expression. The observation that the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486 also blunts the acidosis-induced increase in SNAT3 expression ( Fig. 2 ) provides additional evidence of glucocorticoid involvement. Dexamethasone also increased SNAT3 expression in the absence of acidosis, although the increase was much smaller than that induced by acidosis. In all the in vivo studies reported here, renal glutamine AV difference mirrored SNAT3 expression, reinforcing the suggestion that glutamine uptake and expression of SNAT3 in the renal cortex are linked. These results are consistent with previous observations that glucocorticoids play a role in acid-base homeostasis in part via regulation of renal glutamine utilization ( 33, 46 ).

AV difference is a net measurement that is a function of arterial glutamine concentration, renal GS activity, and renal blood flow. 1 ) Figure 1 shows the arterial glutamine concentration in all experimental groups. 2) GS is present in the outer medulla of the kidney ( 35 ). GS activity, mRNA, and protein in the kidney are unchanged ( 8, 35, 47 ) by chronic acidosis so that the impact of renal glutamine synthesis on AV difference in acidotic rats is negligible. Glucocorticoids increase GS activity and gene expression in muscle and lung ( 1 ). In the kidney, glucocorticoids have no effect ( 1 ) or modestly increase ( 26, 43 ) GS activity. The effect of increased GS activity would be to increase the renal venous concentration of glutamine, thus decreasing the apparent glutamine uptake in those groups treated with dexamethasone. 3 ) Renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate either is not altered ( 15, 24, 32 ) or is increased ( 45, 46 ) by metabolic acidosis. Welbourne and colleagues ( 45, 46 ) reported that renal plasma flow in ADX and acidotic ADX rats decreased compared with normal animals and increased in acidotic rats and in ADX rats supplemented with glucocorticoid. They studied experimental groups similar to ours and observed a pattern of renal glutamine AV differences in these groups the same as that shown in Fig. 2, except for their ADX acidosis glucocorticoid group, where the AV difference recovered to or above the sham acidosis level, whereas we observe only partial recovery. This difference may result from the use of different glucocorticoids and doses in our studies. In those studies, the pattern of glutamine extraction (renal plasma flow x AV difference) and AV difference for each group was the same, suggesting that, in these experimental conditions, AV difference broadly reflects glutamine extraction.4 t8 x& G5 {6 [5 N6 t- ^* T

ADX animals are deficient in both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids act in the kidney to increase elimination of protons in the urine of acidotic animals, but their sites and mechanisms of action differ. Glucocorticoids increase acid excretion in the form of ammonia excretion in response to an acid load with little effect on urine acidification, whereas mineralocorticoids increase acid secretion and acidify the urine with a limited effect on ammoniagenesis ( 20, 48 ). Glucocorticoid receptors are enriched in the proximal tubule, whereas mineralocorticoid receptors are enriched in more distal regions ( 12, 29, 34 ). The differential distribution of these receptors is consistent with the restriction of ammoniagenesis induction to the proximal tubules. In addition, other acidosis-regulated transporters demonstrate a role for glucocorticoids, but not mineralocorticoids, in the response to acidosis ( 2, 5, 13 ). For these reasons, we have focused on glucocorticoid regulation of SNAT3 expression in the studies reported here. However, a role for mineralocorticoids is not excluded.7 j$ I' n- c& h$ B. H6 k7 c4 I
% U3 ` j, b' _3 J* P* WThe studies presented here provide some insight into the mechanism(s) by which glucocorticoids regulate SNAT3 expression. The effects of H and glucocorticoids cannot be separated in normal rats in vivo because the plasma concentration of glucocorticoids increases in response to acidosis ( 28, 42 ). Experiments using ADX rats provide insight into the relative roles of glucocorticoids and H in regulating cortical SNAT3 expression. A comparison of Figs. 2 A, 3 A, and 4 A shows that expression of SNAT3 mRNA is more strongly induced by H than by dexamethasone in both ADX and adrenal-intact rats. Figure 2 A demonstrates that the role of glucocorticoids in regulating SNAT3 expression is not permissive because SNAT3 mRNA is induced by acidosis in ADX rats that lack endogenous glucocorticoids. The data in Fig. 2 A also suggest that, for SNAT3 mRNA, the inductive effects of H and glucocorticoids may be additive. There is no evidence of synergistic interaction between H and glucocorticoids in the induction of SNAT3 expression.

The ability of RU486 to partially block the stimulation of SNAT3 expression by acidosis suggests the involvement of the glucocorticoid receptor in the regulation of SNAT3 gene transcription. Dexamethasone treatment increased SNAT3 mRNA in control, ADX, and acidotic ADX rats ( Figs. 2 A and 4 A ), although to a lesser degree than chronic acidosis. The 5'-flanking region of the SNAT3 gene contains several potential glucocorticoid response elements that could be involved in glucocorticoid activation of SNAT3 transcription. However, transcriptionally active reporter expression vectors containing up to 2.4 kb of the SNAT3 5'-flanking sequence did not respond to dexamethasone treatment when transiently transfected into glucocorticoid-responsive GR101 cells ( Fig. 5 B ). The lack of response suggests that glucocorticoids do not regulate SNAT3 directly by binding of the activated glucocorticoid receptor to a response element within the promoter, but indirectly perhaps by interaction with or induction of an unknown factor or by message stabilization. It is also possible that an essential glucocorticoid-regulatory element lies outside the cloned 2.4 kb of promoter used for transfection.) A- O7 X6 K- [# m. X$ [

In addition to SNAT3, expression of a number of enzymes and transporters important in the response to acid-base imbalance is regulated in the kidney by both H and glucocorticoids ( 3, 4, 21, 31 ). In some cases, for example, the gluconeogenic enzyme phospho enol pyruvate carboxykinase and the Na /H antiporter NHE3, the mechanism of glucocorticoid action has been elucidated in considerable detail and has proven to be very complex. Both acidosis and glucocorticoids regulate phospho enol pyruvate carboxykinase transcription through complex interactions of nuclear factors with two independent domains in the promoter ( 9 ). Regulation of NHE3 involves both transcription and transcription-independent mechanisms (trafficking, phosphorylation) that differ in acute and chronic acidosis ( 6, 22, 40 ). Regulatory mechanisms for other acidosis- and glucocorticoid-regulated transporters have yet to be elucidated.

The studies reported here demonstrate that glucocorticoids, in addition to H , directly or indirectly regulate expression of the SNAT3 transporter during chronic metabolic acidosis. In addition, the close association between SNAT3 expression and renal glutamine uptake as reflected by AV difference under a number of experimental conditions makes a strong argument for a central role for SNAT3 in the adaptive ammoniagenic response to acidosis. When rats are chronically exposed to metabolic acidosis, a series of compensatory adaptations occur in the kidney so that blood pH and bicarbonate concentration are restored to normal values within 7 days despite continued acid ingestion ( 30 ). Ammoniagenesis, however, remains elevated despite the normalization of acid-base status, suggesting that factors other than H are responsible for maintenance of activation of adaptive processes, including SNAT3 upregulation and renal glutamine uptake. Blood glucocorticoids, in contrast, remain elevated during acidosis ( 28, 42 ). Because of their widespread actions, glucocorticoids may be important in orchestrating the systemic and renal response to metabolic acidosis and in maintaining activation of key homeostatic activities.
