It is generally assumed that phosphate (Pi) effluxes from proximal tubule cells by passive diffusion across the basolateral (BL) membrane. We explored the mechanism of BL Pi efflux in proximal tubule-like OK cells grown on permeable filters and then loaded with ³²P. BL efflux of ³²P was significantly stimulated (P < 0.05) by exposing the BL side of the monolayer to 12.5 mM Pi, to 10 mM citrate, or by acid-loading the cells, and was inhibited by exposure to 0.05 mM Pi or 25 mM HCO₃; by contrast, BL exposure to high (8.4) pH, 40 mM K⁺, 140 mM Na gluconate (replacing NaCl), 10 mM lactate, 10 mM succinate, or 10 mM glutamate did not affect BL ³²P efflux. These data are consistent with BL Pi efflux from proximal tubule-like cells occurring, in part, via an electro-neutral sodium-sensitive anion transporter capable of exchanging two moles of intracellular acidic H₂PO4^- for each mole of extracellular basic HPO4⁼ or for citrate.
