AbstractAnticholinergics, 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 h 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 h 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.

Medullary Collecting Duct

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.

Recently, a new class of histone methyltransferases that plays an indirect role in chromatin silencing by targeting a conserved lysine residue in the nucleosome core was described, namely the Dot1 (disruptor of telomeric silencing) family [Feng, Wang, Ng, Erdjument-Bromage, Tempst, Struhl and Zhang (2002) Curr. Biol. 12, 1052–1058; van Leeuwen, Gafken and Gottschling (2002) Cell (Cambridge, Mass.) 109, 745–756; Ng, Feng, Wang, Erdjument-Bromage, Tempst, Zhang and Struhl (2002) Genes Dev. 16, 1518–1527]. In the present study, we report the isolation, genomic organization and in vivo expression of a mouse Dot1 homologue (mDot1). Expressed sequence tag analysis identified five mDot1 mRNAs (mDot1a–mDot1e) derived from alternative splicing. mDot1a and mDot1b encode 1540 and 1114 amino acids respectively, whereas mDot1c–mDot1e are incomplete at the 5´-end. mDot1a is closest to its human counterpart (hDot1L), sharing 84% amino acid identity. mDot1b is truncated at its N- and C-termini and contains an internal deletion. The five mDot1 isoforms are encoded by 28 exons on chromosome 10qC1, with exons 24 and 28 further divided into two and four sections respectively. Alternative splicing occurs in exons 3, 4, 12, 24, 27 and 28. Northern-blot analysis with probes corresponding to the methyltransferase domain or the mDot1a-coding region detected 7.6 and 9.5 kb transcripts in multiple tissues, but only the 7.6 kb transcript was evident in mIMCD3-collecting duct cells. Transfection of mDot1a–EGFP constructs (where EGFP stands for enhanced green fluorescent protein) into human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T or mIMCD3 cells increased the methylation of H3-K79 but not H3-K4, -K9 or -K36. Furthermore, DMSO induced mDot1 gene expression and methylation specifically at H3-K79 in mIMCD3 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Collectively, these results add new members to the Dot1 family and show that mDot1 is involved in a DMSO-mediated signal-transduction pathway in collecting duct cells.

Prorenin binding to the prorenin receptor [(P)RR] results in nonproteolytic activation of prorenin but also directly (i.e., independent of angiotensin generation) activates signal transduction cascades that can lead to the upregulation of profibrotic factors. The (P)RR is an accessory protein of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) and is required for V-ATPase integrity. In addition, in collecting duct cells, prorenin-induced activation of Erk depends on V-ATPase activity. However, whether prorenin binding to the (P)RR directly regulates V-ATPase activity is as yet unknown. Here, we studied the effect of prorenin on plasma membrane V-ATPase activity in Madin-Darby canine kidney clone 11 (MDCK.C11) cells, which resemble intercalated cells of the collecting duct. Prorenin increased V-ATPase activity at low nanomolar concentrations, and the V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1, but not the angiotensin II type 1 and 2 receptor blockers irbesartan and PD-123319, prevented this. Increased, but not basal, V-ATPase activity was abolished by small interfering RNA depletion of the (P)RR. Unexpectedly, the putative peptidic (P)RR blocker handle region peptide also increasedV-ATPase activity in a (P)RR-dependent manner. Finally, [Arg8]-vasopressin-stimulated V-ATPase activity and cAMP production were also abolished by (P)RR depletion. Our results show that in MDCK.C11 cells, the (P)RR is required for prorenin-dependent and -independent regulation of V-ATPase activity.
