Localization of Na(+)-dependent active type and erythrocyte/HepG2-type glucose transporters in rat kidney: immunofluorescence and immunogold study

Glucose is actively taken up from the glomerular filtrate into the tubule cells by the Na(+)-dependent active glucose transporter (GT), and passively crosses the basolateral membrane via facilitated diffusion GT. With the use of antibodies directed against two types of GTs, we show the immunocytochemical localization of the Na(+)-dependent active GT (SGLT1) and the erythrocyte/HepG2-type facilitated diffusion GT (GLUT1). For light microscopic observation, frozen sections were stained by the rhodamine labeling method. Counterstaining with fluorescein-phalloidin and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) was employed to facilitate cell type identification. Immunogold staining was carried out on ultra-thin frozen sections for electron microscopy. The antibody to SGLT1 reacted with a 77 KD protein in immunoblotting of a kidney lysate. By immunocytochemistry, SGLT1 was localized in the microvillous plasma membrane in the apical brush borders of the cells of all three proximal tubule segments (S1, S2, and S3). The antibodies to GLUT1, a member of the facilitated diffusion GT family, were raised against human erythrocyte GT or synthetic oligopeptides derived from HepG2 GT, which reacted with a 48 KD protein in immunoblotting of the kidney lysate. GLUT1 was found at the basolateral plasma membranes of S3 proximal tubule cells, cells of the thick limb of Henle's loop, and collecting duct cells. Combined with known physiological data, our findings suggest that SGLT1 in the apical plasma membrane of the proximal tubule cells is responsible for the Na(+)-dependent active reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate. GLUT1 in the basolateral plasma membrane of S3 cells may transport reabsorbed glucose to the blood vessels. GLUT1 in the basolateral plasma membranes of cells of the thick limb of Henle's loop and of the collecting duct, on the other hand, may nourish these metabolically active cells by facilitating the diffusion of extracellular glucose provided from blood through the basolateral side of the cells.
