The water permeability of the kidney collecting duct epithelium is regulated by vasopressin (VP)-induced recycling of water channels between an intracellular vesicular compartment and the plasma membrane of principal cells. To test whether the water channels pass through an acidic endosomal compartment during the endocytic portion of this pathway, we measured ATP-dependent acidification of FITC-dextran-labeled endosomes in isolated microsomal fractions from different regions of Brattleboro rat kidneys. Both VP-deficient controls and rat treated with exogenous VP were examined. ATP-dependent acidification was not detectable in endosomes containing water channels from distal papilla (osmotic water permeability Pf = 0.038 +/- 0.004 cm/s). In contrast, the addition of ATP resulted in a strong acidification of renal cortical endosomes (pHmin = 5.8, initial rate = 0.18-0.25 pH U/s). Acidification of cortical endosomes was reversed with nigericin and strongly inhibited by N-ethyl-maleimide. Passive proton permeability was similar and low in both cortical and papillary endosomes from rats treated or not treated with VP. The fraction of labeled endosomes present in microsomal preparations was determined by fluorescence imaging microscopy of microsomes nonspecifically bound to poly-l-lysine-coated coverslips and was 25% in cortical preparations compared to 14% (+VP) and 9% (-VP) in papillary preparations. The fraction of cortical endosomes was enriched 1.5-fold by immunoabsorption to coverslips coated with mAbs against the bovine vacuolar proton pump. In contrast, the fraction of papillary endosomes was depleted more than twofold by immunoabsorption to identical coverslips. Finally, sections of distal papilla stained with antibodies against the lysosomal glycoprotein LGP120 showed that most of the entrapped FITC-dextran did not colocalize with this lysosomal protein. These results demonstrate that vesicles which internalize water channels in kidney collecting duct principal cells lack functional proton pumps, and do not deliver the bulk of their FITC-dextran content to lysosomes. The data suggest that the principal cell contains a specialized nonacidic apical endocytic compartment which functions primarily to recycle membrane components, including water channels, to the plasma membrane.

Early Endosomes

Endocytic vesicles that are involved in the vasopressin-stimulated recycling of water channels to and from the apical membrane of kidney collecting duct principal cells were isolated from rat renal papilla by differential and Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Fluorescence quenching measurements showed that the isolated vesicles maintained a high, HgCl2-sensitive water permeability, consistent with the presence of vasopressin-sensitive water channels. They did not, however, exhibit ATP-dependent luminal acidification, nor any N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive ATPase activity, properties that are characteristic of most acidic endosomal compartments. Western blotting with specific antibodies showed that the 31- and 70-kD cytoplasmically oriented subunits of the vacuolar proton pump were not detectable in these apical endosomes from the papilla, whereas they were present in endosomes prepared in parallel from the cortex. In contrast, the 56-kD subunit of the proton pump was abundant in papillary endosomes, and was localized at the apical pole of principal cells by immunocytochemistry. Finally, an antibody that recognizes the 16-kD transmembrane subunit of oat tonoplast ATPase cross-reacted with a distinct 16-kD band in cortical endosomes, but no 16-kD band was detectable in endosomes from the papilla. This antibody also recognized a 16-kD band in affinity-purified H+ ATPase preparations from bovine kidney medulla. Therefore, early endosomes derived from the apical plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells fail to acidify because they lack functionally important subunits of a vacuolar-type proton pumping ATPase, including the 16-kD transmembrane domain that serves as the proton-conducting channel, and the 70-kD cytoplasmic subunit that contains the ATPase catalytic site. This specialized, non-acidic early endosomal compartment appears to be involved primarily in the hormonally induced recycling of water channels to and from the apical plasma membrane of vasopressin-sensitive cells in the kidney collecting duct.

Actin Regulatory Proteins

Vasopressin regulates transepithelial osmotic water permeability in the kidney collecting duct and in target cells in other tissues. In the presence of hormone, water channels are inserted into an otherwise impermeable apical plasma membrane and the apical surface of these cells is dramatically remodelled. Because cytochalasin B and D greatly reduce the response of these cells to vasopressin, actin filaments are believed to participate in the events leading to an increase in transepithelial water permeability. Modulation of the actin filamentous network requires the concerted action of specific actin regulatory proteins, and in the present study we used protein A-gold immunocytochemistry to localize two important molecules, gelsolin and actin binding protein (ABP), in epithelial cells of the kidney inner medulla. Gelsolin and, to a lesser extent, ABP were concentrated in clusters in the apical cell web of principal cells of the collecting duct. Aggregates of gold particles were often associated with the cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane regions forming surface extensions or microvilli. The basolateral plasma membrane was labeled to a much lesser extent than the apical plasma membrane. In the thin limbs of Henle, ABP was localized over the apical plasma membrane in ascending limbs, but gelsolin labeling was weak in these cells. In thin descending limbs, the pattern of labeling was completely reversed, with abundant apical gelsolin labeling but only weak ABP immunolabeling. Although the significance of the distribution of actin regulatory proteins in thin limbs is unknown, the abundance and the predominantly apical polarization of both ABP and gelsolin in principal cells of the collecting duct is consistent with a role of the actin cytoskeleton in the mechanism of vasopressin actin.

This review focuses on events at the apical plasma membrane of toad urinary bladder and mammalian collecting duct as their permeability to water changes in response to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and to its withdrawal. The major marker of the permeability change is observed in freeze-fracture electron microscopy of the apical plasma membrane and consists of a dramatic increase in membrane particle aggregates and, in toad bladder but not in collecting duct, in fused vesicles (aggrephores) that contain particle aggregates in their limiting membranes. Withdrawal of ADH is accompanied by endocytosis at the apical membrane, reflecting retrieval of water-permeable, particle aggregate-containing membrane. Covalent labeling of the external surface of the apical membrane of toad bladder identifies specific proteins that are present in the apical membrane only during the response to ADH. Proteins of the same molecular weights are also present in the retrieved membrane when ADH is withdrawn. Several controversial areas are considered, including the extent of cell swelling as water flows across the epithelium from dilute apical solution to isotonic basal solution, whether only principal cells or principal cells and intercalated cells participate in the water permeability response of the collecting duct, the role of the cytoskeleton in the water permeability response, and the proposed second water permeability barrier that is affected by ADH, but not by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate.

Kidney Collecting Duct

Vasopressin-regulated water permeability of the kidney collecting duct is a key component of the urine concentration machinery. Recently, a cDNA for AQP-CD, the vasopressin-regulated water channel, initially reported as WCH-CD, has been isolated (K. Fushimi, S. Uchida, Y. Hara, Y. Hirata, F. Marumo, and S. Sasaki. Nature Lond. 361: 549-552, 1993). AQP-CD was expressed in oocyte membrane using a Xenopus expression vector, and functional characteristics of AQP-CD were examined. Osmotic water permeability (Pf) of oocytes expressing AQP-CD was 138 +/- 19 microns/s (mean +/- SE), 12 times greater than the control (11 +/- 3 microns/s), 90% inhibited by 0.3 mM HgCl2, and weakly temperature dependent (energy of activation for Pf was 4.0 kcal/mol). Urea influx measured from 15-min [14C]urea uptake by oocytes injected with AQP-CD/expression vector 1 cRNA was 86 +/- 17% of the control. Two-electrode voltage-clamp experiments revealed insignificant ion conductance of AQP-CD. Immunoblots of membranes from rat kidney medulla and oocytes expressing AQP-CD using anti-AQP-CD COOH-terminal antibody showed a 29-kDa protein and 35- to 50-kDa high-molecular-mass forms. Immunohistochemistry showed apical and subapical localization of AQP-CD in the collecting duct principal cells. Our results indicated that AQP-CD is a 29-kDa protein, a selective water channel, distinct from a urea channel, and localized to the membranes of vasopressin-sensitive components in kidney collecting duct principal cells.

Atrial Natriuretic

AVP and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) have opposite effects in the kidney. AVP induces antidiuresis by insertion of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels into the plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells. ANP acts as a diuretic factor. An ANP- and nitric oxide (NO)/soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)-induced insertion of AQP2 into the plasma membrane is reported from different models. However, functional data on the insertion of AQP2 is missing. We used primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells and digital holographic microscopy, calcein-quenching measurements, and immunofluorescence and Western blotting to analyze the effects of ANP and NO donors on AQP2 phosphorylation, membrane expression, and water permeability. While AVP led to acceleration in osmotically induced swelling, ANP had no effect. However, in AVP-pretreated cells ANP significantly decreased the kinetics of cell swelling. This effect was mimicked by 8-bromo-cGMP and blunted by PKG inhibition. Stimulation of the NO/sGC pathway or direct activation of sGC with BAY 58-2667 had similar effects to ANP. In cells treated with AVP, AQP2 was predominantly localized in the plasma membrane, and after additional incubation with ANP AQP2 was mostly localized in the cytosol, indicating an increased retrieval of AQP2 from the plasma membrane by ANP. Western blot analysis showed that ANP was able to reduce AVP-induced phosphorylation of AQP2 at position S256. In conclusion, we show that the diuretic action of ANP or NO in the IMCD involves a decreased localization of AQP2 in the plasma membrane which is mediated by cGMP and PKG.

AVP increases the osmotic water permeability of renal collecting ducts by inducing the translocation of specific aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels from cytoplasmic vesicles to the apical plasma membrane of the principal cells. Here, we report a novel inner medullary tubule suspension for the study of this phenomenon that overcomes some of the drawbacks faced by present techniques; both primary cultures of inner medullary collecting duct cells and cell lines expressing AQP2 show aberrant trafficking and/or signaling pathways. The tubule suspensions were prepared by proteolytic digestion of inner medullas dissected from freshly isolated rat kidneys. After drug treatment, cellular distribution of AQP2 was determined by membrane fractionation and Western blotting or by immunocytochemistry. Treatment of suspensions with 1 nM AVP caused redistribution of AQP2 to the apical plasma membrane of the principal cells, a process inhibited by microtubule disruption or PKA inhibition. We conclude that this method provides a valuable new approach to the study of the cellular mechanisms involved in the response of the collecting duct to AVP.
