Ecto-5'-nucleotidase: localization in rat kidney by light microscopic histochemical and immunohistochemical methods

Anatomisches Institut der Universitaet Basel, Switzerland.
We demonstrated the distribution pattern of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (5'- Nu) in rat kidney by enzymatic activity (lead salt precipitation) and by immunohistochemistry with a polyclonal antibody raised in rabbits. Enzyme activity was found in the brush border of the proximal tubule, highest in the P1 segments with decreasing intensity in the P2 segments and weakest in P3 segments in the medullary rays of the cortex. The P3 segments of the outer stripe showed slightly higher activity. Activity was also apparent in the intercalated cells in the connecting tubule and collecting duct, whereas all other tubular and glomerular structures were negative. Activity in peritubular and perivascular connective tissue was highest in the cortical labyrinth, weak or absent in the medullary rays of the cortex, and entirely absent in the medulla. The distribution of the antigen was fully congruent with that of the enzyme activity. With respect to the role of adenosine in regulation of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, the distribution of 5'-Nu in the cortical interstitium may be particularly significant. The possibility of nucleotide cleavage at the brush-border membranes may be important for salvage of nucleotides from the tubular lumen.
