Resumen: | Renal glomerular basement membranes (GBMs) exhibit a charge-selective barrier, comprised of anionic sites, that restrict the passage of anionic molecules into the urine. These sites are located primarily in the laminae rarae interna (LRI) and externa (LRE) of the GBM and consist of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG). Previous efforts to localize HSPG core protein within various layers of the GBM have been contradictory. In the present study when rat renal cortex blocks were treated by immersion with the cationic probe, polyethyleneimine (PEI), GBMs exhibited anionic sites concentrated primarily in the LRE and more irregularly within the LRI and lamina densa. All sites were heparitinase sensitive indicating that PE1 positive sites represent negatively charged groups associated with heparan sulfate. In order to gain information on the distribution of the HSPG protein core, antibodies to HSPG from the EHS tumor matrix [anti-(EHS) HSPG] and GBMs [anti-(GBM) HSPG] were used together with immunogold to label thin sections of Lowicryl embedded kidney cortex. Depending upon the antisera used, markedly different distributions of HSPG were obtained. Immunolabelling with anti-(GBM) HSPG suggested a distribution of HSPG which was restricted to the laminae rarae, whereas labelling with anti-(EHS) HSPG indicated that the protein core penetrates through all layers of the GBM. |
