RESUMO
Renal hypertrophy in vivo is achieved by an increase in protein content per cell and an increase in cell size with minimal hyperplasia. Hypertrophied renal tubular cells remain quiescent and demonstrate an increase in transcellular transport rates. This situation was simulated in vitro by exposing a confluent, quiescent primary culture of rabbit renal proximal tubular cells to either insulin, prostaglandin E1, or hypertonic NaCl for 24 or 48 hr. Protein per cell increased by 20-30% with little or no increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. Mean cell volume was also increased in insulin- and hypertonic NaCl-treated but not in prostaglandin E1-treated cells. The lag period required to initiate DNA synthesis by a combination of insulin and hydrocortisone was the same in control and hypertrophied cells, indicating a quiescent state of the latter. Two hours of exposure to the growth stimuli increased amiloride-sensitive Na+ uptake, Na-dependent H+ efflux, and ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake, indicating that stimulation of Na+/H+ antiport (exchange) occurs as an early event in their action. Hypertrophied cells continued to demonstrate enhanced Na+/H+ antiport after the growth stimuli were removed for 3 hr, by which time their acute effects are reversed.
