Abstract
Na+-coupled phosphate cotransporters from the SLC34 and SLC20 families of solute carriers mediate transepithelial transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi). NaPi-IIa/Slc34a1, NaPi-IIc/Slc34a3, and Pit-2/Slc20a2 are all expressed at the apical membrane of renal proximal tubules and therefore contribute to renal Pi reabsorption. Unlike NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc, which are rather kidney-specific, NaPi-IIb/Slc34a2 is expressed in several epithelial tissues, including the intestine, lung, testis, and mammary glands. Recently, the expression of NaPi-IIb was also reported in kidneys from rats fed on high Pi. Here, we systematically quantified the mRNA expression of SLC34 and SLC20 cotransporters in kidneys from mice, rats, and humans. In all three species, NaPi-IIa mRNA was by far the most abundant renal transcript. Low and comparable mRNA levels of the other four transporters, including NaPi-IIb, were detected in kidneys from rodents and humans. In mice, the renal expression of NaPi-IIa transcripts was restricted to the cortex, whereas NaPi-IIb mRNA was observed in medullary segments. Consistently, NaPi-IIb protein colocalized with uromodulin at the luminal membrane of thick ascending limbs of the loop of Henle segments. The abundance of NaPi-IIb transcripts in kidneys from mice was neither affected by dietary Pi, the absence of renal NaPi-IIc, nor the depletion of intestinal NaPi-IIb. In contrast, it was highly upregulated in a model of oxalate-induced kidney disease where all other SLC34 phosphate transporters were downregulated. Thus, NaPi-IIb may contribute to renal phosphate reabsorption, and its upregulation in kidney disease might promote hyperphosphatemia.

Supplementary table 1 Sequence or source and efficiency of qPCR primers (Fw= forward; Rv= reverse) and probes used to quantify the expression of Slc20 and Slc34 cotransporters in samples from mice, rats and human. Supplementary Figure 1. Validation of the anti NaPi-IIb antibody A-D) Immunofluorescence of mouse ileum with an anti-NaPi-IIb antibody (green) as well as with DAPI (blue) and phalloidin (red). A, B) signal in the absence of the antigenic peptide. C, D) signal in the presence of the antigenic peptide. E-F) Westernblots on kidney homogenates (K) and intestinal BBM (I) of mice using anti-NaPi-IIb (top panels) and actin (bottom panels) antibodies. Signals E) without or F) with antigenic peptide. The arrowhead indicates the position of the transporter in BBM isolated from ileum. Figure 2. Intestinal mRNA expression of Na/Pi cotransporters: real-time PCR. Relative mRNA expression of NaPi-IIa, NaPi-IIb, NaPi-IIc, Pit-1 and Pit-2 in A) ileum of WT mice (n=5) as well as B) duodenum and C) jejunum from rats (n=5). Expression of Pit-1 in rat duodenum was not tested. Ct values of each mRNA were normalized to the Ct values of the control mRNA HPRT. Supplementary Figure 3.
