Three different full-length splice isoforms of the Na-K-2Cl co-transporter (NKCC2/BSC1) are expressed along the thick ascending limb of Henle (TAL), designated NKCC2A, NKCC2B, and NKCC2F. NKCC2F is expressed in the medullary, NKCC2B mainly in the cortical, and NKCC2A in medullary and cortical portions of the TAL. NKCC2B and NKCC2A were shown to be coexpressed in the macula densa (MD) segment of the mouse TAL. The functional consequences of the existence of three different isoforms of NKCC2 are unclear. For studying the specific role of NKCC2A in kidney function, NKCC2A-/- mice were generated by homologous recombination. NKCC2A-/- mice were viable and showed no gross abnormalities. Ambient urine osmolarity was reduced significantly in NKCC2A-/- compared with wild-type mice, but water deprivation elevated urine osmolarity to similar levels in both genotypes. Baseline plasma renin concentration and the effects of a high- and a low-salt diet on plasma renin concentration were similar in NKCC2A+/+ and -/- mice. However, suppression of renin secretion by acute intravenous saline loading (5% of body weight), a measure of MD-dependent inhibition of renin secretion, was reduced markedly in NKCC2A-/mice compared with wild-type mice. Cl and water absorption along microperfused loops of Henle of NKCC2A-/- mice were unchanged at normal flow rates but significantly reduced at supranormal flow. Tubuloglomerular feedback function curve as determined by stop flow pressure measurements was left-shifted in NKCC2A-/- compared with wild-type mice, with maximum responses being significantly diminished. In summary, NKCC2A activity seems to be required for MD salt sensing in the high Cl concentration range. Coexpression of both high- and low-affinity isoforms of NKCC2 may permit transport and Cl-dependent tubuloglomerular feedback regulation to occur over a wider Cl concentration range.
