We have used the patch-clamp technique to study the effect of dietary K intake on the apical K channels in the medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) of rat kidneys. The channel activity, defined by the number of channels in a patch and the open probability (NPo), of the 30- and 70-pS K channels, was 0.18 and 0.11, respectively, in the mTAL from rats on a K-deficient diet. In contrast, NPo of the 30- and 70-pS K channels increased to 0.60 and 0.80, respectively, in the tubules from animals on a high-K diet. The concentration of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) measured with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was 0.8 pg/microg protein in the mTAL from rats on a high-K diet and increased significantly to 4.6 pg/microg protein in the tubules from rats on a K-deficient diet. Addition of N-methylsulfonyl-12,12-dibromododec-11-enamide (DDMS) or 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA), agents that inhibit the formation of 20-HETE, had no significant effect on the activity of the 30-pS K channels. However, DDMS/17-ODYA significantly increased the activity of the apical 70-pS K channel from 0.11 to 0.91 in the mTAL from rats on a K-deficient diet. In contrast, inhibition of the cytochrome P-450 metabolism of arachidonic acid increased NPo from 0.64 to 0.81 in the tubules from animals on a high-K diet. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the 70-pS K channel to 20-HETE was the same between rats on a high-K diet and on a K-deficient diet. Finally, the pretreatment of the tubules with DDMS increased NPo of the 70-pS K channels in the mTAL from rats on a K-deficient diet to 0.76. We conclude that an increase in 20-HETE production is involved in reducing the activity of the apical 70-pS K channels in the mTAL from rats on a K-deficient diet.
