NSIAD is a rare X-linked condition, caused by activating mutations in the AVPR2 gene coding for the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) associated with hyponatremia, despite undetectable plasma vasopressin levels. We have recently provided in vitro evidence that, compared to V2R-wt, expression of activating V2R mutations R137L, R137C and F229V cause a constitutive redistribution of the AQP2 water channel to the plasma membrane, higher basal water permeability and significantly higher basal levels of p256-AQP2 in the F229V mutant but not in R137L or R137C. In this study, V2R mutations were expressed in collecting duct principal cells and the associated signalling was dissected. V2R-R137L and R137C mutants had significantly higher basal pT269-AQP2 levels -independently of S256 and PKA-which were reduced to control by treatment with Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor. Interestingly, ROCK activity was found significantly higher in V2R-R137L along with activation of the Gα12/13–Rho–ROCK pathway. Of note, inhibition of ROCK reduced the basal elevated osmotic water permeability to control. To conclude, our data demonstrate for the first time that the gain-of-function mutation of the V2R, R137L causing NSIAD, signals through an alternative PKA-independent pathway that increases AQP2 membrane targeting through ROCK-induced phosphorylation at S/T269 independently of S256 of AQP2.

Previously, we demonstrated that escape from vasopressin-induced antidiuresis (“vasopressin escape”) in rats is associated with a large, selective decrease in whole kidney expression of aquaporin-2, the vasopressin-regulated water channel. Here, we show that isolated perfused inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs) from vasopressin-escape rats {desamino-[d-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP)/water-loaded} have dramatically reduced vasopressin-dependent osmotic water permeabilities [46% of control rats (DDAVP alone)], which coincides with a fall in inner medullary aquaporin-2 protein abundance as measured by immunoblotting in the opposite kidney. Furthermore, we demonstrate in IMCD suspensions that cAMP accumulation in response to DDAVP is substantially reduced in the vasopressin-escape rats both in the presence and absence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX. By immunoblotting, we show that the abundance of two proteins important in cAMP generation: the stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gsα and adenylyl cyclase type VI, do not change. We conclude that vasopressin escape is associated with relative vasopressin resistance of the collecting duct cells manifested by decreased intracellular cAMP levels. The decreased cAMP levels can contribute to the demonstrated decrease in collecting duct water permeability in two ways: 1) by causing a decrease in aquaporin-2 expression and 2) by limiting the acute action of vasopressin to increase collecting duct water permeability.

The P2u class of nucleotide receptors is linked to mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in many cell types, including the renal collecting duct cells. In the present studies, we examined the effects of nucleotides (ATP, UTP, and ADP; 10 microM each) on the arginine vasopressin (AVP, 0.1 nM)-stimulated osmotic water permeability (Pf) in in vitro perfused terminal inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD) of rat. ATP or UTP, when added to the bath, decreased the AVP-stimulated Pf by approximately 40%. These effects were reversible upon withdrawal of the nucleotides. However, addition of ADP to the bath or sham exchange of the bath had no significant effect on the Pf. Furthermore, ATP did not have any significant effect on the Pf stimulated either by a membrane-permeant, nonhydrolyzable adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) analogue [8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP, 0.1 mM] o by forskolin (1 microM). In line with these findings, ATP decreased the AVP-stimulated cAMP levels in IMCD suspensions to approximately 68%. In addition, ATP did not exert an inhibitory effect on the AVP-stimulated Pf in the presence of calphostin C (150 nM), an inhibitor of protein kinase C. These results lead us to conclude the following: 1) agonist occupancy of the putative nucleotide receptor in the terminal IMCD causes an inhibition of AVP-stimulated Pf; and 2) this effect is due to a decrease in cellular cAMP levels, most likely resulting from activation of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

Apical membrane targeting of the collecting duct water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is essential for body water balance. As this event is regulated by Gs coupled 7-transmembrane receptors such as the vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) and the prostanoid receptors EP2 and EP4, it is believed to be cAMP dependent. However, on the basis of recent reports, it was hypothesized in the current study that increased cAMP levels are not necessary for AQP2 membrane targeting. The role and dynamics of cAMP signaling in AQP2 membrane targeting in Madin-Darby canine kidney and mouse cortical collecting duct (mpkCCD14) cells was examined using selective agonists against the V2R (dDAVP), EP2 (butaprost), and EP4 (CAY10580). During EP2 stimulation, AQP2 membrane targeting continually increased during 80 min of stimulation; whereas cAMP levels reached a plateau after 10 min. EP4 stimulation caused a rapid and transient increase in AQP2 membrane targeting, but did not significantly increase cAMP levels. After washout of the EP2 agonist or dDAVP, AQP2 membrane abundance remained elevated for at least 80 min, whereas cAMP levels rapidly decreased. Similar effects of the EP2 agonist were also observed for AQP2 constitutively nonphosphorylated at ser-269. The adenylyl cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 did not prevent AQP2 targeting during stimulation of each receptor, nor after dDAVP washout. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that although direct stimulation with cAMP causes AQP2 membrane targeting, cAMP is not necessary for receptor-mediated AQP2 membrane targeting and Gs-coupled receptors can also signal through an alternative pathway that increases AQP2 membrane targeting.

Endothelin causes diuresis despite an accompanying decrease in glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow. Binding sites for endothelin are located not only in glomeruli but also in the inner medulla, possibly in inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD). To determine whether endothelin has a direct tubular effect, effects of endothelin on water and urea transport were investigated using isolated microperfusion of rat IMCD segments in vitro. Endothelin, at 10(-10) and 10(-8) M, reversibly inhibited 10(-11) M arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated osmotic water permeability (Pf) by 18 and 24%, respectively. Endothelin (10(-8) M) also inhibited Pf by 23% in the presence of a much higher dose of AVP (10(-9) M), whereas endothelin had no effect on Pf in the absence of AVP. On the other hand, 10(-8) M endothelin did not inhibit Pf stimulated by 10(-3) M dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Endothelin had no inhibitory effect on AVP-stimulated urea permeability. These data suggest that endothelin can cause diuresis by inhibiting AVP-stimulated Pf in IMCD and that the site of action is previous to cAMP generation.

Urinary osmotic concentration capacity during renal ontogeny is subject to changes of medullary cytoarchitecture and of segmental epithelial transport characteristics. Osmotic equilibrium between interstitial and tubular fluid of the terminal nephron segment in response to vasopressin is an absolute essential of maximal urinary osmotic concentration. The regulation of osmotic water permeability (Pf) in this terminal epithelial segment during ontogenetic differentiation has not been documented. The inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), the terminal 40% of total segmental length, was dissected at two stages of postnatal ontogenetic differentiation from immature (days 7-15) and from mature (days 33-37) rat kidneys and perfused in vitro. Pf (micron/s) was measured (bath hyperosmotic) in the absence and presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP, 230 pM). Basal Pf was 32.3 +/- 4.03 (n = 26) in the immature IMCD (IMCDi) and 111.5 +/- 20.6 (n = 15) in the mature segment (IMCDm). AVP increased Pf in IMCDi from 46.4 +/- 10.5 to 102 +/- 25.7 micron/s, whereas in IMCDm the AVP-dependent change of Pf was from 104.2 +/- 41.2 to 693 +/- 176 micron/s. AVP (2,300 pM) did not further increase Pf in IMCDi. Forskolin (50 microM) changed Pf in IMCDi from 34.9 +/- 6.3 to 104.1 +/- 16 micron/s; the corresponding change in IMCDm was from 150 +/- 32 to 985.8 +/- 133 micron/s. An analogue of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP; 10(-3) M) increased Pf in IMCDi from 35.5 +/- 11.4 to 138.5 +/- 32.6 and in IMCDm from 79.6 +/- 32.3 to 702.2 +/- 283 micron/s.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Prolonged fluid restriction in rats is accompanied by functional modifications of the terminal part of the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) revealed by a sustained increase in arginine vasopressin (AVP)-independent transepithelial osmotic water permeability (PTE) in vitro. The cellular basis of this adaptation was explored in isolated and perfused terminal IMCDs of Sprague-Dawley rats using video and fluorescence microscopy. Basolateral membrane osmotic water permeability (Posm), transcellular Posm, and PTE were measured in quick sequence in every tubule. They were expressed per unit area of basolateral membrane corrected for infoldings, based on previous stereological studies and assuming no major change in membrane surface area between hydrated and dehydrated animals. Compared with IMCDs of rats with a high water intake, IMCDs of rats deprived of fluid for 36 h displayed a significantly higher basal PTE (24.9 +/- 5.1 vs. 6.1 +/- 0.6 microns/s), a similar basolateral Posm, and a higher transcellular Posm, implying a higher permeability of the apical membrane, despite the absence of exogenous AVP. However, when IMCDs of thirsted rats were exposed to AVP in vitro, their transcellular Posm (36.0 +/- 2.4 microns/s) was significantly smaller than their PTE determined simultaneously (51.8 +/- 7.1 microns/s), suggesting that part of the water flow may follow a paracellular route. A change in paracellular pathways was supported by higher apparent permeabilities to [14C]sucrose (0.85 +/- 0.27 vs. 0.28 +/- 0.04 x 10(-5) cm/s) and to [methoxy-3H]inulin (0.25 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.14 +/- 0.03 x 10(-5) cm/s) in IMCDs of thirsted rats. The nonelectrolyte permeabilities were affected neither by AVP nor by urea-rich bathing solutions. We conclude that in vivo factors related to dehydration produce a conditioning effect on terminal IMCD, which includes stabilization of the apical membrane in a state of high Posm and opening up of paracellular pathways revealed by a higher permeability to water and nonelectrolytes. The role of these adaptive phenomena remains unclear but may pertain to the sudden transitions between antidiuresis and diuresis.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known as a vasoconstrictor peptide. However, recent reports suggested the effects on the transport of renal tubule. We previously reported that ET-1 inhibited arginine vasopressin (AVP)-dependent adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate in rat collecting ducts. Physiologically, ET-1 reversibly and significantly inhibited AVP-stimulated water permeability in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). We therefore investigated the effects on water and electrolyte transport in rat cortical collecting ducts (CCD), where Na and Cl are actively reabsorbed more than in IMCD. Pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 80-120 g were used after treatment with deoxycorticosterone pivalate for 1-2 wk. Isolated CCD were microperfused in vitro. The Cl concentration was measured by a continuous-flow ultra-microcolorimeter, and the raffinose concentration was measured as a volume marker by a continuous-flow ultra-microfluorometer. In the presence of 10(-9) M AVP, 10(-8) M ET-1 significantly inhibited fluid absorption (nl.mm-1 x min-1) from 0.25 +/- 0.02 to 0.15 +/- 0.05 (mean +/- SE, n = 6, P < 0.01), Cl absorption (pmol.mm-1 x min-1) from 30. 6 +/- 2.8 to 14.9 +/- 4.0 (P < 0.01), and potential difference (mV) from -5.4 +/- 1.3 to -4.0 +/- 1.2 (P < 0.01). Similar results were obtained in the lower concentration of 10(-10) M AVP and 10(-10) M ET-1. As for the osmotic water permeability (microns/s), 10(-8) M ET-1 significantly inhibited this from 320.1 +/- 50.9 to 202.1 +/- 42.2 (n = 7, P < 0.01) in the presence of 10(-9) M AVP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Vasopressin action in the renal collecting duct is believed to be mediated by the cycling of water channels in principal and, possibly, intercalated cells. We used 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-CF) or fluorescein-labeled dextran (FITC-dextran) to determine the location and water permeability of endocytic vesicles from papilla and inner stripe of Brattleboro rats in different states of diuresis. Fifteen minutes after FITC-dextran infusion, fluorescent vesicles were concentrated at the apical pole of principal and intercalated cells. The osmotic water permeability (Pf) of these endosomes was measured by fluorescence quenching. In papillary endosomes, Pf was high (0.04 +/- 0.004 cm/s) when rats were in physiological states of antidiuresis or after treatment with vasopressin, 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP), or oxytocin; endosomes isolated from these regions of untreated animals had a low Pf. The number of papillary endosomes with high Pf increased with increasing doses of DDAVP. Endosomes from the inner stripe also had a high Pf only after vasopressin treatment. Confocal microscopy of sections of papilla showed that vasopressin significantly increased endocytosis in principal cells but had no effect on intercalated cells. Our data demonstrate that the bulk of fluorescently labeled vesicles from the papilla originate from the apical membrane of principal cells and contain water channels in their limiting membrane only when the rats are in physiological states of antidiuresis. In contrast, the majority of endocytosis in intercalated cells is not involved in water channel recycling.

The mammalian proximal tubule reabsorbs the bulk of the glomerular filtrate in a nearly isosmotic fashion due to the high osmotic water permeability (Pf) of this segment. Although the characteristics of proximal tubule water transport have been studied in the adult proximal tubule, little is known about the neonatal segment. The present study directly measured the Pf and diffusional water permeability (PDW) of neonatal (10 +/- 2 day old) and adult rabbit juxtamedullary proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) using in vitro microperfusion. The Pf of neonatal juxtamedullary PCT was greater than the Pf of adult juxtamedullary PCT. In contrast, the PDW was not different between the two groups. The Pf and PDW values of both neonatal and adult tubules were inhibited to the same degree by p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate and had identical activation energies. The transepithelial reflection coefficients of NaCl and NaHCO3 were also found to be similar in both the neonatal and adult proximal tubules. Thus neonatal and adult juxtamedullary PCT have many characteristics of water transport that are identical; however, neonatal Pf is three to five times that of the adult value. This difference in Pf with identical PDW values may give an insight into the transepithelial pathway for water movement in the neonatal tubule.

Hypertonicity increases water permeability, independently of vasopressin, in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) by increasing aquaporin-2 (AQP2) membrane accumulation. We investigated whether protein kinase C (PKC) and adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) are involved in hypertonicity-regulated water permeability. Increasing perfusate osmolality from 150 to 290 mosmol/kgH2O and bath osmolality from 290 to 430 mosmol/kgH2O significantly stimulated osmotic water permeability. The PKC inhibitors chelerythrine (10 µM) and rottlerin (50 µM) significantly reversed the increase in osmotic water permeability stimulated by hypertonicity in perfused rat terminal IMCDs. Chelerythrine significantly increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S261 but not at S256. Previous studies show that AMPK is stimulated by osmotic stress. We tested AMPK phosphorylation under hypertonic conditions. Hypertonicity significantly increased AMPK phosphorylation in inner medullary tissues. Blockade of AMPK with Compound C decreased hypertonicity-stimulated water permeability but did not alter phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256 and S261. AICAR, an AMPK stimulator, caused a transient increase in osmotic water permeability and increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256. When inner medullary tissue was treated with the PKC activator phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), the AMPK activator metformin, or both, AQP2 phosphorylation at S261 was decreased with PDBu or metformin alone, but there was no additive effect on phosphorylation with PDBu and metformin together. In conclusion, hypertonicity regulates water reabsorption by activating PKC. Hypertonicity-stimulated water reabsorption by PKC may be related to the decrease in endocytosis of AQP2. AMPK activation promotes water reabsorption, but the mechanism remains to be determined. PKC and AMPK do not appear to act synergistically to regulate water reabsorption.
