Abstract Renal tubules are composed of heterogeneous segments and different types of cells. To obtain a homogeneous cell population of defined segment, renal proximal convoluted tubules were cultured and transformed by plasmid pSV3. The transformed single cells were grown to reach the 6th passage and to become a homogeneous cell line. The cells were grown in FCS and aminoglycoside enriched media and in hormone enriched media. Parathyr-oid hormone, but not vasopressin, dose-dependently increased intracellular free calcium as well as production of cAMP. Sodium dependent phosphate transport was also active. Therefore, renal proximal tubule cells were successfully transformed by the plasmid, which provide a useful material for future study.
