Evidence is presented for hormone-controlled adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated NaCl diuresis in Malpighian tubules of the blood-feeding yellow-fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. Studies in isolated Malpighian tubules reveal that cAMP added to the peritubular bath selectively stimulates NaCl secretion and not KCl secretion by increasing the Na conductance of the basolateral membrane of primary cells. These effects are duplicated by forskolin and theophylline in parallel with increased intracellular concentrations of endogenous cAMP. Two natriuretic peptides that we have isolated by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods from mosquito heads also increase NaCl and fluid secretion in isolated Malpighian tubules together with increased intracellular levels of cAMP. These results are consistent with a mechanism of NaCl diuresis in which the natriuretic peptides and cAMP are respectively the primary and secondary messengers that couple the ingestion of a blood meal to the excretion of the unwanted salt and water fraction of the meal. This hypothesis is supported by in vivo studies that reveal elevated intracellular cAMP levels in Malpighian tubules at the time of maximum NaCl diuresis.

Physiological Pathways

In the past, we have used the kinins of the cockroach Leucophaea (the leucokinins) to evaluate the mechanism of diuretic action of kinin peptides in Malpighian tubules of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti . Now using the kinins of Aedes (the aedeskinins), we have found that in isolated Aedes Malpighian tubules all three aedeskinins (1 μM) significantly 1) increased the rate of fluid secretion (V̇S), 2) hyperpolarized the basolateral membrane voltage (Vbl), and 3) decreased the input resistance (Rin) of principal cells, consistent with the known increase in the Cl− conductance of the paracellular pathway in Aedes Malpighian tubules. Aedeskinin-III, studied in further detail, significantly increased V̇S with an EC50 of 1.5 × 10−8 M. In parallel, the Na+ concentration in secreted fluid significantly decreased, and the K+ concentration significantly increased. The concentration of Cl− remained unchanged. While the three aedeskinins triggered effects on Vbl, Rin, and V̇S, synthetic kinin analogs, which contain modifications of the COOH-terminal amide pentapeptide core sequence critical for biological activity, displayed variable effects. For example, kinin analog 1578 significantly stimulated V̇S but had no effect on Vbl and Rin, whereas kinin analog 1708 had no effect on V̇S but significantly affected Vbl and Rin. These observations suggest separate signaling pathways activated by kinins. One triggers the electrophysiological response, and the other triggers fluid secretion. It remains to be determined whether the two signaling pathways emanate from a single kinin receptor via agonist-directed signaling or from a differentially glycosylated receptor. Occasionally, Malpighian tubules did not exhibit a detectable response to natural and synthetic kinins. Hypothetically, the expression of the kinin receptor may depend on developmental, nutritional, and/or reproductive signals.

The effects of dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP) and bumetanide (both 10(-4) M) on transepithelial Na+, K+, Cl-, and fluid secretion and on tubule electrophysiology were studied in isolated Malpighian tubules of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. Peritubular DBcAMP significantly increased Na+, Cl-, and fluid secretion but decreased K+ secretion. In DBcAMP-stimulated tubules, bumetanide caused Na+, Cl-, and fluid secretion to return to pre-cAMP control rates and K+ secretion to decrease further. Peritubular bumetanide significantly increased Na+ secretion and decreased K+ secretion so that Cl- and fluid secretion did not change. In bumetanide-treated tubules, the secretagogue effects of DBcAMP are blocked. In isolated Malpighian tubules perfused with symmetrical Ringer solution, DBcAMP significantly hyperpolarized the transepithelial voltage (VT) and depolarized the basolateral membrane voltage (Vbl) with no effect on apical membrane voltage (Va). Total transepithelial resistance (RT) and the fractional resistance of the basolateral membrane (fRbl) significantly decreased. Bumetanide also hyperpolarized VT and depolarized Vbl, however without significantly affecting RT and fRbl. Together these results suggest that, in addition to stimulating electroconductive transport, DBcAMP also activates a nonconductive bumetanide-sensitive transport system in Aedes Malpighian tubules.

Methionine Residues

Previously, a corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-like diuretic peptide (Manduca-DH) has been isolated from Manduca sexta and shown to stimulate fluid excretion in vivo in post-eclosion Pieris rapae adults and in pre-wandering postfeeding Manduca sexta larvae. However, Manduca- DH was reported to have no effect on Malpighian tubules in vitro. Manduca-DH and [Nle2,11]-Manduca-DH were synthesized in Texas and assayed in London on isolated Malpighian tubules of Acheta domesticus. Manduca- DH stimulated fluid secretion by about 60% of the maximum response achievable with extracts of corpora cardiaca and increased the production of cyclic AMP. In combination with 10−4 mol l−1 3-isobutyl-l-methyl xanthine (IBMX), Manduca-DH stimulated maximal secretion. A number of CRF-related peptides also stimulated fluid secretion and cyclic AMP production in cricket tubules, and the CRF antagonist α-helical-CRF[9-14] blocked the stimulation of fluid secretion by Manduca-DH. [Nle2,11]-Manduca-DH was more active than Manduca-DH in both assays, suggesting that methionine residues in the natural peptide may become oxidized. Taken in conjunction with previous in vivo studies, the present findings suggest that a Manduca-DH-Mke diuretic peptide is the hormone controlling post-eclosion diuresis in butterflies, and Manduca-DH was shown to stimulate both fluid secretion and cyclic AMP production in Malpighian tubules from 1–12 h posteclosion Pieris rapae adults. The function of the peptide in Manduca sexta is discussed.

Secretion Rates

Rhodnius prolixus eliminates NaCl-rich urine at high rates following its infrequent but massive blood meals. This diuresis involves stimulation of Malpighian tubule fluid secretion by diuretic hormones released in response to distention of the abdomen during feeding. The precipitous decline in urine flow that occurs several hours after feeding has been thought until now to result from a decline in diuretic hormone release. We suggest here that insect cardioacceleratory peptide 2b (CAP2b) and cyclic GMP are part of a novel mechanism of anti-diuresis. Secretion rates of 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated Malpighian tubules are reduced by low doses of CAP2b or cyclic GMP. Maximal secretion rates are restored by exposing tubules to 1 mmol l-1 cyclic AMP. Levels of cyclic GMP in isolated tubules increase in response to CAP2b, consistent with a role for cyclic GMP as an intracellular second messenger. Levels of cyclic GMP in tubules also increase as urine output rates decline in vivo, suggesting a physiological role for this nucleotide in the termination of diuresis.

Cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) activity was observed in Streptococcus lactis C2, Streptococcus cremoris C10, Streptococcus diacetlactis 18-16, and Streptococcus thermophilus C3. In vitro assays of cell-free extracts obtained from S. lactis C2 showed that the cAMP-associated enzymes adenyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase were also present. In vitro experiments showed that prostaglandin E1 (PGE) stimulation of adenyl cyclase increased cAMP concentrations approximately fivefold, and in vivo studies showed that PGE treatment of S. lactis C2 increased intracellular cAMP concentrations twofold. Furthermore, PGE-induced elevation of intracellular cAMP levels was shown to prevent the repression of β-D-phosphogalactoside galactohydrolase synthesis by glucose.

Mammary Epithelia

It has been reported that secretory mammary epithelial cells (MEC) release ATP, UTP, and UDP upon mechanical stimulation. Here we examined the physiological changes caused by ATP/UTP in nontransformed, clonal mouse mammary epithelia (31EG4 cells). In control conditions, transepithelial potential (apical side negative) and resistance were −4.4 ± 1.3 mV (mean ± SD, n = 12) and 517.7 ± 39.4 Ω · cm2, respectively. The apical membrane potential was −43.9 ± 1.7 mV, and the ratio of apical to basolateral membrane resistance ( R A/ R B) was 3.5 ± 0.2. Addition of ATP or UTP to the apical or basolateral membranes caused large voltage and resistance changes with an EC50 of ∼24 μM (apical) and ∼30 μM (basal). Apical ATP/UTP (100 μM) depolarized apical membrane potential by 17.6 ± 0.8 mV ( n = 7) and decreased R A/ R B by a factor of ≈3. The addition of adenosine to either side (100 μM) had no effect on any of these parameters. The ATP/UTP responses were partially inhibited by DIDS and suramin and mediated by a transient increase in free intracellular Ca2+ concentration (427 ± 206 nM; 15–25 μM ATP, apical; n = 6). This Ca2+ increase was blocked by cyclopiazonic acid, by BAPTA, or by xestospongin C. 31EG4 MEC monolayers also secreted or absorbed fluid in the resting state, and ATP or UTP increased fluid secretion by 5.6 ± 3 μl · cm−2 · h−1( n = 10). Pharmacology experiments indicate that 31EG4 epithelia contain P2Y2 purinoceptors on the apical and basolateral membranes, which upon activation stimulate apical Ca2+-dependent Cl channels and cause fluid secretion across the monolayer. This suggests that extracellular nucleotides could play a fundamental role in mammary gland paracrine signaling and the regulation of milk composition in vivo.

SUMMARYIntracellular ion activities (aion) and basolateral membrane potential (Vbl) were measured in Malpighian tubule cells of Rhodnius prolixus using double-barrelled ion-selective microelectrodes. In saline containing 103mmoll-1Na+, 6mmoll-1 K+ and 93mmoll-1Cl-, intracellular ion activities in unstimulated upper Malpighian tubules were 21, 86 and 32mmoll-1, respectively. In serotonin-stimulated tubules, aCl was unchanged, whereas aNa increased to 33mmoll-1 and aK declined to 71mmoll-1. Vbl was -59mV and -63mV for unstimulated and stimulated tubules, respectively. Calculated electrochemical potentials(Δμ/F) favour passive movement of Na+ into the cell and passive movement of Cl- out of the cell in both unstimulated and serotonin-stimulated tubules. Passive movement of K+ out of the cell is favoured in unstimulated tubules. In stimulated tubules, Δμ/F for K+ is close to 0 mV.The thermodynamic feasibilities of Na+-K+-2Cl-, Na+-Cl-and K+-Cl- cotransporters were evaluated by calculating the net electrochemical potential (Δμnet/F) for each transporter. Our results show that a Na+-K+-2Cl- or a Na+-Cl- cotransporter but not a K+-Cl- cotransporter would permit the movement of ions into the cell in stimulated tubules. The effects of Ba2+ and ouabain on Vbl and rates of fluid and ion secretion show that net entry of K+ through ion channels or the Na+/K+-ATPase can be ruled out in stimulated tubules. Maintenance of intracellular Cl- activity was dependent upon the presence of both Na+ and K+ in the bathing saline. Bumetanide reduced the fluxes of both Na+ and K+. Taken together, the results support the involvement of a basolateral Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in serotonin-stimulated fluid secretion by Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules.
