Abstract

Development-dependent mRNA expression of the chloride channels ClC-2 and ICln was studied by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in rat ureteric bud and cortical collecting duct primary monolayer cultures. Abundance of ClC-2 mRNA increased in ureteric bud cells between embryonic day 15 (E15) and E17, peaked at postnatal day 3 (P3), and was down- regulated at P7 when morphogenesis is complete, suggesting a specific embryonic function. Expression of ICln mRNA, in contrast, up-regulated continuously with development.
