Abstract Anticholinergics, therapeutic agents for overactive bladder, are clinically suggested to reduce urine output. We investigated whether this effect is due to bladder or kidney urine reabsorption. Various solutions were injected into the bladder of urethane-anesthetized SD rats. The absorption rate for 2 hr was examined following the intravenous administration of the anticholinergics imidafenacin (IM), atropine(AT), and tolterodine(TO). The bilateral ureter was then canulated and saline was administered to obtain a diuretic state. Anticholinergics or 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine]-vasopressin (dDAVP) were intravenously administered. After the IM and dDAVP administrations, the rat kidneys were immunostained with AQP2 antibody, and intracellular cAMP was measured. The absorption rate was ~10% of the saline injected into the bladder and constant even when anticholinergics were administered. The renal urine among peaked 2 hr after the saline administration. Each of the anticholinergics significantly suppressed the urine production in a dose-dependent manner, as did dDAVP. IM and dDAVP increased the intracellular cAMP levels and caused the AQP2 molecule to localize to the collecting duct cells' luminal side. The urinary reabsorption mechanism through the bladder epithelium was not activated by anticholinergic administration. Thus, anticholinergics suppress urine production via an increase in urine reabsorption in the kidneys' collecting duct cells via AQP2.

Anp Receptors

Urodilatin (URO) [ANP-(95-126)] is an analogue of atrial natriuretic peptide (alpha-ANP) [ANP-(99-126)] that was first isolated from human urine. In rat mesangial cells, URO competed with high affinity for non-guanylate cyclase-coupled ANPR-C receptors [concentration at which 50% labeled ligand is displaced (IC50) approximately 70 pM], but with lesser affinity to the guanylate cyclase-linked ANPR-A receptors (IC50 approximately 800 pM). alpha-ANP bound to both receptors with similar affinity [dissociation constant (Kd) approximately 150 pM]. In papillary collecting duct homogenates, which possess only ANPR-A receptors, the apparent Kd value averaged 229 pM for alpha-ANP and 2.7 nM for URO. Intravenous URO was at least as potent and effective as alpha-ANP in inducing diuresis and natriuresis in anesthetized rats, but URO was approximately 10-fold less potent in stimulating guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate generation in mesangial and inner medullary collecting duct cells. We conclude that URO has a lesser affinity than alpha-ANP for guanylate cyclase-coupled ANP receptors in the kidney and that the relative natriuretic potency of URO in vivo cannot be directly attributed to its binding characteristics with ANPR-A receptors.

Although heat stress proteins (HSPs) mediate thermotolerance, the cellular targets of thermal injury and mechanisms of acquired cytoprotection are unknown. To describe the metabolic effects of hyperthermia and the potential mechanisms of thermotolerance, the following were measured in inner medullary collecting duct cells after a 43 degrees C and/or a 50 degrees C thermal insult: 1) state III mitochondrial respiration (SIII MR), 2) glycolytic rate, 3) lactate dehydrogenase activity, 4) membrane permeability, and 5) HSP 72 content. Compared with controls incubated at 37 degrees C, cells heated to 50 degrees C showed a 30 and 50% reduction in glycolysis and SIII MR, respectively. After heating to 50 degrees C, the cell membrane remained intact and immunoreactive HSP 72 was not detected. In contrast, heating to 43 degrees C induced accumulation of HSP 72 and transiently increased both SIII MR and glycolysis. In addition, prior exposure to 43 degrees C completely prevented the fall in SIII MR and glycolysis anticipated with a subsequent 50 degrees C insult. Cytoprotection gradually diminished over several days and correlated with the disappearance of HSP 72. Preservation of oxidative and anaerobic metabolism associated with HSPs may be important in developing resistance to thermal injury.

V2 Vasopressin Receptor

Vasopressin acts on the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) in the kidney to regulate water and urea transport. To obtain a “parts list” of gene products expressed in the IMCD, we carried out mRNA profiling of freshly isolated rat IMCD cells using Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 microarrays with ∼31,000 features; 7,913 annotated transcripts were found to be expressed above background in the IMCD cells. We have created a new online database (the “IMCD Transcriptome Database;” http://dir.nhlbi.nih.gov/papers/lkem/imcdtr/ ) to make the results publicly accessible. Among the 30 transcripts with the greatest signals on the arrays were 3 water channels: aquaporin-2, aquaporin-3, and aquaporin-4, all of which have been reported to be targets for regulation by vasopressin. In addition, the transcript with the greatest signal among members of the solute carrier family of genes was the UT-A urea transporter ( Slc14a2), which is also regulated by vasopressin. The V2 vasopressin receptor was strongly expressed, but the V1a and V1b vasopressin receptors did not produce signals above background. Among the 200 protein kinases expressed, the serum-glucocorticoid-regulated kinase ( Sgk1) had the greatest signal intensity in the IMCD. WNK1 and WNK4 were also expressed in the IMCD with a relatively high signal intensity, as was protein kinase A (β-catalytic subunit). In addition, a large number of transcripts corresponding to A kinase anchoring proteins and 14-3-3 proteins (phospho-S/T-binding proteins) were expressed. Altogether, the results combine with proteomics studies of the IMCD to provide a framework for modeling complex interaction networks responsible for vasopressin action in collecting duct cells.

Collecting Duct Cells

Focal adhesions (FAs) are specialized regions of cell attachment to the extracellular matrix. Previous works have suggested that bradykinin (BK) can modulate cell-matrix interaction. In the present study, we used a physiological cellular model to evaluate the potential role of BK in modulating FAs and stress fibers. We performed a quantitative morphometric analysis of FAs in primary cultured rat renal papillary collecting duct cells, which included size, axial ratio (shape), and average length. After 1, 5, or 10 min of incubation with BK, cultured cells were immunostained and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Although the shape of FAs was not altered, BK induced a decrease in the number of vinculin-stained FAs per cell, and a decrease in both their size and their average length, but not in talin-containing FAs, thus suggesting that BK could be inducing a restructuring of FAs. BK also induced a remodeling of the actin filament assemblies rather than their dissipation. Since we have previously demonstrated that BK stimulates activation of PLCβ in rat renal papillae, we attempted to determine whether BK can modulate FA restructuring by this mechanism, by pretreating cultured cells with the PLCβ inhibitor U73122. The present study, performed under physiological conditions with cells that were not genetically manipulated, provides new experimental evidence supporting the notion that the intrarenal hormone BK modulates FAs and actin cytoskeleton organization through a mechanism that involves the activation of PLCβ. We propose this finding as a novel mechanism for BK modulation of tubular collecting duct function.
