Proteus mirabilis is an important cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and can result in acute pyelonephritis. Proteus mirabilis expresses several, morphologically distinct, fimbrial species, and previous studies have shown that the nonagglutinating fimbriae (NAF) mediate bacterial adherence to a number of cell lines, including Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Immunoblot overlay analysis of the plasma membrane fraction from MDCK cells with purified NAF revealed a 34-kDa band, which has been analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Database search identified galectin-3 as a potential protein candidate. Immunocytochemical assay of MDCK cells with a galectin-3-specific monoclonal antibody, anti-Mac-2, confirmed its presence on the plasma membrane extracellular surface. Preincubation of P. mirabilis with anti-Mac-2 monoclonal antibodies, specific for galectin-3, resulted in the inhibition of bacterial binding to MDCK cells. These data suggest a role for galectin-3, interacting with appropriately glycosylated surface receptors and P. mirabilis fimbriae, as a mediator of bacterial adherence in vitro.Key words: bacterial adherence, fimbriae, galectin-3, mass spectrometry.

Liddle syndrome is an inherited form of human hypertension caused by increasing epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) expression. Increased Na+ retention through ENaC with subsequent volume expansion causes hypertension. In addition to ENaC, the Na+-K+-Cl− cotransporter (NKCC) and Na+-Cl− symporter (NCC) are responsible for Na+ reabsorption in the kidneys. Several Na+ transporters are evolutionarily regulated by the Ste20 kinase family. Ste20-related proline/alanine-rich kinase and oxidative stress-responsive kinase-1 phosphorylate downstream NKCC2 and NCC to maintain Na+ and blood pressure (BP) homeostasis. Mammalian Ste20 kinase 3 (MST3) is another member of the Ste20 family. We previously reported that reduced MST3 levels were found in the kidneys in spontaneously hypertensive rats and that MST3 was involved in Na+ regulation. To determine whether MST3 is involved in BP stability through Na+ regulation, we generated a MST3 hypomorphic mutation and designated MST3+/− and MST3−/− mice to examine BP and serum Na+ and K+ concentrations. MST3−/− mice exhibited hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and hypertension. The increased ENaC in the kidney played roles in hypernatremia. The reabsorption of more Na+ promoted more K+ secretion in the kidney and caused hypokalemia. The hypernatremia and hypokalemia in MST3−/− mice were significantly reversed by the ENaC inhibitor amiloride, indicating that MST3−/− mice reabsorbed more Na+ through ENaC. Furthermore, Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing kinase-dead MST3 displayed elevated ENaC currents. Both the in vivo and in vitro results indicated that MST3 maintained Na+ homeostasis through ENaC regulation. We are the first to report that MST3 maintains BP stability through ENaC regulation.
