A substantial amount of data is available to suggest that lysosomal sequestration of aminoglycoside antibiotics plays a role in the pathogenesis of aminoglycoside-induced renal tubule cell injury; however, relatively little information is available on the subcellular distribution of aminoglycosides in the kidney during treatment protocols of the type that ultimately go on to produce extensive lethal renal tubule cell injury and acute renal failure in experimental animals. This study assessed the distribution of gentamicin and subcellular membranes on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient after in vivo exposure of rats to four daily 100 mg/kg doses of gentamicin as compared to in vitro exposure of normal rat renal cortex to gentamicin during tissue homogenization at drug levels comparable to those seen after in vivo treatment. After both in vivo and in vitro exposure, major localization of gentamicin, the lysosomal marker enzyme N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and the endoplasmic reticulum marker enzyme NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, occurred in a very light membrane fraction. Within this membrane fraction, gentamicin was more closely associated with the NAG than with the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. The results could not be explained by complete lysosomal disruption during subcellular fractionation after in vivo gentamicin. These data provide additional insights into both the possibilities for subcellular interactions of aminoglycosides in the kidney, and into the methodology required to optimally assess such interactions.
