The osmotic water permeability of human red cells has been reexamined with a stopped-flow device and a new perturbation technique. Small osmotic gradients are used to minimize the systematic error caused by nonlinearities in the relationship between cell volume and light scattering. Corrections are then made for residual systematic error. Our results show that the hydraulic conductivity, Lp, is essentially independent of the direction of water flow and of osmolality in the range 184-365 mosM. the mean value of Lp obtained obtained was 1.8 +/- 0.1 (SEM) X 10-11 cm3 dyne -1 s-1.

Set Up

Proximal straight tubules were dissected and mounted in a chamber with their lumina occluded. The well-stirred bath could be 95% changed within 84 ms to set up osmotic gradients (delta Coi) across the peritubular cell aspect. Volume changes (less than or equal to 10 pl/mm) were estimated from continuous records of diameter changes (error less than 0.1 micrometers). delta Coi greater than or equal to 2-3 mosM could be discerned. delta Coi values from 10 to 44 mosM were used to evaluate Posc, the cell osmotic water permeability coefficient, and extrapolated to delta Coi = 0. Posc = 25.1 (+/- 2.3) X 10(-4) cm3.s-1.osM-1.cm2 tubular surface area-1. These values are lower than those reported for Pose, the transepithelial osmotic water permeability coefficient, and become lower if corrected for the real (infolded) peritubular cell surface area. Thus, for a given osmotic difference, transcellular water flow finds a higher resistance than paracellular water flow. Experiments were also performed with delta Coi greater than 100 mosM, but interpretation of these data is difficult because of the presence of volume regulatory phenomena and other undesirable effects.

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.

Reduced Water

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasodilator that causes natriuresis and diuresis. However, the direct effect of ADM on osmotic water permeability in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) has not been tested. We investigated whether ADM and its ADM receptor components (CRLR, RAMP2, and 3) are expressed in rat inner medulla (IM) and whether ADM regulates osmotic water permeability in isolated perfused rat IMCDs. The mRNAs of ADM, CRLR, and RAMP2 and 3 were detected in rat IM. Abundant protein of CRLR and RAMP3 were also seen but RAMP2 protein level was extremely low. Adding ADM (100 nM) to the bath significantly decreased osmotic water permeability. ADM significantly decreased aquaporin-2 (AQP2) phosphorylation at Serine 256 (pS256) and increased it at Serine 261 (pS261). ADM significantly increased cAMP levels in IM. However, inhibition of cAMP by SQ22536 further decreased ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Stimulation of cAMP by roflumilast increased ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Previous studies show that ADM also stimulates phospholipase C (PLC) pathways including protein kinase C (PKC) and cGMP. We tested whether PLC pathways regulate ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Blockade of either PLC by U73122 or PKC by rottlerin significantly augmented the ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability and promoted pS256-AQP2 but did change pS261-AQP2. Inhibition of cGMP by L-NAME did not change AQP2 phosphorylation. In conclusion, ADM primarily binds to the CRLR-RAMP3 receptor to initiate signaling pathways in the IM. ADM reduced water reabsorption through a PLC-pathway involving PKC. ADM-attenuated water reabsorption may be related to decreased trafficking of AQP2 to the plasma membrane. cAMP is not involved in ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability.

Aqp1 Expression

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the localization of the aquaporin-1 (AQP1) water channel in peritoneal tissues and the effect of hyperosmolality on the peritoneal expression and function of AQP1. Methods Immunohistochemical localization of AQP1 was identified in rat peritoneal tissues. Cultured rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) were exposed to hyperosmolality by adding 4% glucose to the culture medium. After 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours, AQP1 was identified by semiquantitative immunoblot and immunocytochemistry. Osmotic water permeability was measured using a light-scattering method. Results Immunohistochemistry of rat peritoneal tissues showed the presence of AQP1 in mesothelial cells, venular endothelial cells, and capillary endothelial cells, but not in arteriole and interstitial cells. Semiquantitative immunoblot revealed that exposure to hyperosmolality significantly increased AQP1 expression after 24 hours in whole RPMC lysates (3.3-fold at 24 hours and 3.9-fold at 48 hours). Consistent with the immunoblot, osmotic water permeability of RPMC was augmented 1.7-fold and 2.7-fold after 1 hour and 24 hours, respectively, in a hyperosmotic environment. In RPMC membrane fractions, AQP1 expression was significantly increased after 1 hour of exposure to hyperosmolality (3.9-fold at 1 hour, 7.1-fold at 4 hours, and 8.7-fold at 24 hours). Immunocytochemistry of RPMCs showed that AQP1 was gradually redistributed from the perinuclear area to the peripheral cytoplasm, and then to the plasma membrane after a 1-hour hyperosmotic challenge, suggesting hyperosmolality-induced translocation of AQP1. Upregulation of AQP1 was also observed in the omentum of rats loaded intraperitoneally with hyperosmotic dialysate every day for 10 weeks. Conclusion AQP1 is widely distributed in the peritoneal cavity and may provide the major aqueous pathway across the peritoneal barrier. In addition, our findings suggested that hyperosmolality increases AQP1-dependent water permeability in peritoneal tissues by regulating the translocation and synthesis of AQP1 protein.
