Cyclic AMP stimulates net HCO/sub 3/ secretion in rabbit CCT (Schuster, JCI 75:2056). Because cAMP induces Cl-independent (electrogenic) HCO/sub 3/ secretion in several epithelia, I studied the anion dependence of the CCT cAMP effect. Tubules were perfused in vitro with lumen amiloride; bath cAMP was continuously present to stimulate HCO/sub 3/ secretion. First, the dependence of HCO/sub 3/ secretion on lumen (Cl) was determined. With bath (Cl)=O mM, perfusate (Cl) was varied (2-150 mM, gluconate substitution). Mean lumen (Cl) was determined either by a silver electrode in the collected fluid (2-12 mM perfusate) or by /sup 36/Cl (12-150 mM). Total bath-to-lumen HCO/sub 3/ flux, J/sup Ib//sub HCO3/, was measured (bath HCO/sub 3/=25 mM, perfusate HCO/sub 3/=O), Passive J/sub HCO3/ was estimated from the GHK equation using a previously-determined HCO/sub 3/ permeability = 1.9 x 10/sup -6/ cm/s. Mediated J/sub HCO3/ vs. mean lumen (Cl) showed saturation kinetics, apparent K/sub m/ = 5.8 mM and V/sub max/ = 8.7 pmol/mm/min. Second, the stoichiometry was estimated. When bath HCO/sub 3/ was replaced by HEPES at various perfusate (Cl) (12-150 mM), ..delta..J/sub HCO3/ varied linearly with ..delta..J/sup Ib/sub Cl/ (slope = .85 +- .27). Third, in anion selectivity studies Br supported HCO/sub 3/ secretion (89% rate with Cl) but I/sup -/ and SO/sub 4//sup =/ did not. In rabbit CCT, as opposed to several other HCO/sub 3/-secreting epithelia, cAMP stimulates 1:1 Cl-HCO/sub 3/ exchange.
