The present in vitro microperfusion study examined the effect of protein kinase C activation on transport in the rabbit proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). PCT were perfused with an ultrafiltrate-like solution and were bathed in a serumlike albumin solution. Addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, an activator of protein kinase C, inhibited volume absorption from 1.06 {plus minus} 0.10 to 0.77 {plus minus} 0.07 nl{center dot}mm{sup {minus}1}min{sup {minus}1}, and 0.76 {plus minus} 0.14 to 0.48 {plus minus} 0.08 nl{center dot}mm{sup {minus}1}{center dot}min{sup {minus}1}, respectively. Bath phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate had no effect on volume absorption. In contrast, bath 4{alpha}-phorbol, an inactive phorbol that does not activate protein kinase C, had no effect on J{sub v}. Bath L-{alpha}-dioctanoylglycerol, another known activator of protein kinase C, inhibited volume absorption. A 10-fold lower concentration of L-{alpha}-dioctanoylglycerol had no effect on J{sub v}. Both 5 x 10{sup {minus}8} M phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and 10{sup {minus}4} M L-{alpha}-dioctanoylglycerol inhibited glucose, bicarbonate, and chloride transport in the PCT. These data are consistent with protein kinase C activation playing a role in the modulation of proximal tubular transport.
