Extracellular nucleotides regulate renal transport. A luminal P2Y2 receptor in mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD) principal cells has been demonstrated elsewhere. Herein the effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP) on electrogenic Na+ absorption in perfused CCD of mice kept on a low-NaCl diet were investigated. Simultaneously, transepithelial voltage (V(te)), transepithelial resistance (R(te)), and fura-2 [Ca2+]i fluorescence were measured. Baseline parameters were V(te), -16.5 +/- 1.2 mV; R(te), 80.8 +/- 7.1 Omega cm2; and equivalent short-circuit current (I(sc)), -261.0 +/- 25.1 microA/cm2 (n = 45). Amiloride (10 microM) almost completely inhibited I(sc) to -3.9 +/- 3.8 microA/cm2 (n = 10). Luminal ATP (100 microM) reduced V(te) from -16.5 +/- 2.1 to -12.5 +/- 1.93 and increased R(te) from 113.1 +/- 16.2 to 123.8 +/- 16.7 Omega cm2, which resulted in a 31.7
