Table 2. Subcellular localization of the a4 vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit in single intercalated cells in the OMCD.

IC, % PC, % Apical, % Subapical, % Diffuse, % Cells, n
Control 36.5 ± 2.1 63.5 ± 2.1 32.5 ± 2.2 56.8 ± 1.7 10.6 ± 1.9 265
Aldosterone 35.5 ± 1.5 64.5 ± 1.5 77.2 ± 5.4* 17.6 ± 4.1* 5.2 ± 2.0 297

PC, principal cells; IC, intercalated cells. *, Significantly different from control (P < 0.001). Intercalated cells were classified according to the predominant intracellular staining of the a4 subunit. Aldosterone injection resulted in a percentual increase in intercalated cells with a predominantly apical staining.
