Homeostatic Response
• Chemical buffering by extracellular and intracellular buffers: HCO3
-. Intracellular proteins and phosphates. Bone carbonates*.
• Changes in alveolar ventilation to control pCO2.
• Alterations in renal H+ excretion to regulate plasma HCO3

Renal H+ Secretion
• Acid production by oxidation of dietary foodstuff would be lethal were it not for the kidney, which restores the blood’s buffering power by producing new HCO3.
• The proximal tubule reabsorbs the filtered HCO3, and the distal nephron produces new HCO3.
• Both processes are needed to titrate the generated metabolic acid.

Collecting Duct
• The CCD of the kidney has two cell types: Principal cells, which transport Na+, water, and K+. Intercalated cells, which mediate acid-base transport.
• Two distinct subtypes of intercalated cells have been identified in
the CCD: The α intercalated cell secretes H+ by an apical H+ ATPase and by a
basolateral Cl−:HCO3(AE1). The β type secretes HCO3 by an apical Cl:HCO3 exchanger
(Pendrin) and a basolateral H+ATPase.

Response to acidosis
• α-IC cells: Change in cell pH induced by CO2 or a weak acid results in exocytosis of vesicles whose membrane is enriched in H+ATPases, thereby stimulating the rate of transepithelial H+secretion.
• This is mediated by increased intracellular calcium.
• Feeding animals an acid diet results in an increase in the number of α-IC cells and a decrease in the number of β-IC cells, while the total number of IC cells remained constant.
• Are β IC cells the progenitors of the α IC cells ? – Plasticity of functional epithelia.

Hensin/DMBT1
• When immortalized β-IC were induced to convert to the α-IC phenotype they deposit in their ECM a new extracellular matrix protein (ECM) that is capable by itself of inducing the change in phenotype.
• This ECM protein was purified, cloned and called ‘Hensin’.
• ‘Henshin’ – Japanese for transform.
• Called DMBT1 by the Mouse Genome Project-Deleted in malignant brain tumor (medulloblastoma).

Role of Hensin
• Hensin/DMBT1 is expressed in most epithelia, often in alternately spliced forms.
• Hensin might be involved in the differentiation of other epithelia as well.
• Global deletion of hensin resulted in early embryonic lethality at the time of appearance of the first columnar epithelium, visceral endoderm.

• Conditional deletion of hensin from intercalated cells resulted in an almost complete absence of typical α-intercalated cells.
• Deletion of β1 integrin in the intercalated cells also prevented the conversion of β- to α-intercalated cells.
• Presence of only HCO3-secreting β-cells, as expected produced complete distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).

Cre-Lox Recombination
• Site-specific DNA recombination. • Discovered in P1 bacteriophage. • Bacteriophage uses Cre-lox recombination to circularize and
facilitate replication of its genomic DNA. • Cre recombinase: an enzyme that catalyzes recombination between
two loxP sites. • LoxP sites: specific 34-base pair (bp) sequences.

Application of Cre-Lox Recombination
• Developed as a technology for genome manipulation applied in mammalian cell cultures, mice, and other organisms.
• Widely used to carry out deletions, insertions, inversions and translocations at specific sites and produce general knockouts, conditional knockouts.

Conditional deletion of hensin from intercalated cells
• To delete hensin from the intercalated cells, loxP hensin mouse line was crossed with one expressing Cre under the control of the VB1 promoter (B1 subunit of V ATPase), resulting in deletion of hensin in collecting duct cells.

AE1 mutation vs Hensin knockout
• In patients with AE1 mutation, acidosis will result in conversion of most cortical β-intercalated cells into α-intercalated cells, albeit ones that are incapable of pumping protons.
• In hensin knockout mice almost all intercalated cells have apical pendrin.
• Continued HCO3 secretion explains the appearance of significant spontaneous metabolic acidosis.
• Whether human syndromes of hensin deficiency exist will require direct tests in families with distal RTA.

Quantification of intercalated cells
• Aqp 2 - used as a marker for principal cells. • B1 subunit of the V-ATPase for intercalated cells. • More than 5,000 cells counted in the cortical collecting duct and
medulla in each line of mice. • Wild-type mice: intercalated cells represented 39% of collecting
duct cells in the cortex and 38% in the medulla. • In mice deleted for hensin – almost identical findings. • Hence, deletion of hensin did not reduce the number of intercalated
cells in the kidney.

Results
• Essentially all of the intercalated cells in the cortex of the mutant mice are canonical β-type cells, with apical pendrin and basolateral V-ATPase.
• In the medulla, however, a previously undescribed cell type has been uncovered, which resembles the cortical β-intercalated cell in ultrastructure, but does not express pendrin.
• β1 integrin deletion from the intercalated cell caused a phenotype that was identical to the deletion of hensin itself, supporting its critical role in hensin function.

Interpretation
• Hensin is required for the generation of the α-intercalated cell phenotype in cortical collecting ducts.
• Supports the hypothesis that during acidosis, β-intercalated cells can convert to α-intercalated cells in a hensin-dependent manner.
• There is a path of differentiation in which the β-cell is less differentiated than the α-type.
• Medullary α-intercalated cells appear to be derived from a different type of cell, which, unlike ß-intercalated cells, does not express pendrin. They are progenitors of the medullary α-intercalated cell.

Terminal Differentiation
• The concept of terminal differentiation implies that once a cell reaches that phenotype its fate is fixed as it becomes “postmitotic.”
• During embryonic development a terminally differentiated cell could readily convert to a different phenotype.
• Epithelial-to-mesenchymal and mesenchymal-toepithelial transitions.
• α- and β-intercalated cells are in different states of differentiation with their acidosis-dependent conversion being a shift from one differentiated state to another.
