The injury to the renal tubular cells has been attributed to four major factors: renal vasoconstriction, reduction of glomerular capillary permeability, tubular obstruction and transepithelial back-leak of filtrate [ 45].
LPS treatment also had no effect on the transepithelial permeability of these cells for up to 24 hours as measured by 3H-mannitol diffusion experiments when compared to controls (data not shown).
We have developed [ 17 18 19 20 21 22 ] a unique human intestinal cell culture model of vitamin D-mediated transepithelial Ca transport using Caco-2 cells, a colon adenocarcinoma cell line.
This cell line spontaneously differentiates in culture and expresses biochemical and morphological characteristics of well-differentiated small intestine-like enterocytes [ 17 23 ] . We have previously shown that Caco-2 cells possess a classical nuclear vitamin D receptor [ 18 ] that directly mediates vitamin D-dependent gene expression [ 22 ] , and exhibits a high degree of specificity for various vitamin D metabolites and analogs [ 20 21 ] . Most importantly, in response to short-term (<24 h) 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment, Caco-2 cells increase transepithelial calcium transport [ 17 ] and calbindin D 9K expression [ 19 ] , a cytosolic calcium binding protein.
There is no net transepithelial water movement with solutions of identical osmolalities in the bath and lumen.
