We examined the effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on epithelial Na+channel (ENaC) in the rat cortical collecting duct (CCD) with single-channel and the perforated whole cell patch-clamp recording. Application of 50 nM ANG II increased ENaC activity, defined by NPo(a product of channel numbers and open probability), and the amiloride-sensitive whole cell Na currents by twofold. The stimulatory effect of ANG II on ENaC was absent in the presence of losartan, suggesting that the effect of ANG II on ENaC was mediated by ANG II type 1 receptor. Moreover, depletion of intracellular Ca2+with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA)-AM failed to abolish the stimulatory effect of ANG II on ENaC but inhibiting protein kinase C (PKC) abolished the effect of ANG II, suggesting that the effect of ANG II was the result of stimulating Ca2+-independent PKC. This notion was also suggested by the experiments in which stimulation of PKC with phorbol ester derivative mimicked the effect of ANG II and increased amiloride-sensitive Na currents in the principal cell, an effect that was not abolished by treatment of the CCD with BAPTA-AM. Also, inhibition of NADPH oxidase (NOX) with diphenyleneiodonium chloride abolished the stimulatory effect of ANG II on ENaC and application of superoxide donors, pyrogallol or xanthine and xanthine oxidase, significantly increased ENaC activity. Moreover, addition of ANG II or H2O2diminished the arachidonic acid (AA)-induced inhibition of ENaC in the CCD. We conclude that ANG II stimulates ENaC in the CCD through a Ca2+-independent PKC pathway that activates NOX thereby increasing superoxide generation. The stimulatory effect of ANG II on ENaC may be partially the result of blocking AA-induced inhibition of ENaC.

Potassium Kir4.1/5.1 channels are abundantly expressed at the basolateral membrane of principal cells in the cortical collecting duct (CCD), where they are thought to modulate transport rates by controlling transepithelial voltage. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) stimulate apically localized epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) to augment sodium reabsorption in the CCD. However, little is known about their actions on potassium channels localized at the basolateral membrane. In this study, we implemented patch-clamp analysis in freshly isolated murine CCD to assess the effect of these hormones on Kir4.1/5.1 at both single channel and cellular levels. We demonstrated that K+-selective conductance via Kir4.1/5.1 is the major contributor to the macroscopic current recorded from the basolateral side in principal cells. Acute treatment with 10 μM amiloride (ENaC blocker), 100 nM tertiapin-Q (TPNQ; ROMK inhibitor), and 100 μM ouabain (Na+-K+-ATPase blocker) failed to produce a measurable effect on the macroscopic current. In contrast, Kir4.1 inhibitor nortriptyline (100 μM), but not fluoxetine (100 μM), virtually abolished whole cell K+-selective conductance. Insulin (100 nM) markedly increased the open probability of Kir4.1/5.1 and nortriptyline-sensitive whole cell current, leading to significant hyperpolarization of the basolateral membrane. Inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase cascade with LY294002 (20 μM) abolished action of insulin on Kir4.1/5.1. IGF-1 had similar stimulatory actions on Kir4.1/5.1-mediated conductance only when applied at a higher (500 nM) concentration and was ineffective at 100 nM. We concluded that both insulin and, to a lesser extent, IGF-1 activate Kir4.1/5.1 channel activity and open probability to hyperpolarize the basolateral membrane, thereby facilitating Na+ reabsorption in the CCD.

Induced Hypertension

Activation of PRR ([pro]renin receptor) contributes to enhancement of intrarenal RAS and renal medullary α-ENaC and thus elevated blood pressure during Ang II (angiotensin II) infusion. The goal of the present study was to test whether such action of PRR was mediated by sPRR (soluble PRR), generated by S1P (site-1 protease), a newly identified PRR cleavage protease. F1 B6129SF1/J mice were infused for 6 days with control or Ang II at 300 ng/kg per day alone or in combination with S1P inhibitor PF-429242 (PF), and blood pressure was monitored by radiotelemetry. S1P inhibition significantly attenuated Ang II–induced hypertension accompanied with suppressed urinary and renal medullary renin levels and expression of renal medullary but not renal cortical α-ENaC expression. The effects of S1P inhibition were all reversed by supplement with histidine-tagged sPRR termed as sPRR-His. Ussing chamber technique was performed to determine amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current, an index of ENaC activity in confluent mouse cortical collecting duct cell line cells exposed for 24 hours to Ang II, Ang II + PF, or Ang II + PF + sPRR-His. Ang II–induced ENaC activity was blocked by PF, which was reversed by sPRR-His. Together, these results support that S1P-derived sPRR mediates Ang II–induced hypertension through enhancement of intrarenal renin level and activation of ENaC.

Epithelial Na Channel

Expression of epithelial Na channel (ENaC) protein in the apical membrane of rat kidney tubules was assessed by biotinylation of the extracellular surfaces of renal cells and by membrane fractionation. Rat kidneys were perfused in situ with solutions containing NHS-biotin, a cell-impermeant biotin derivative that attaches covalently to free amino groups on lysines. Membranes were solubilized and labeled proteins were isolated using neutravidin beads, and surface β and γENaC subunits were assayed by immunoblot. Surface αENaC was assessed by membrane fractionation. Most of the γENaC at the surface was smaller in molecular mass than the full-length subunit, consistent with cleavage of this subunit in the extracellular moiety close to the first transmembrane domains. Insensitivity of the channels to trypsin, measured in principal cells of the cortical collecting duct by whole-cell patch-clamp recording, corroborated this finding. ENaC subunits could be detected at the surface under all physiological conditions. However increasing the levels of aldosterone in the animals by feeding a low-Na diet or infusing them directly with hormone via osmotic minipumps for 1 wk before surface labeling increased the expression of the subunits at the surface by two- to fivefold. Salt repletion of Na-deprived animals for 5 h decreased surface expression. Changes in the surface density of ENaC subunits contribute significantly to the regulation of Na transport in renal cells by mineralocorticoid hormone, but do not fully account for increased channel activity.

Neurophysiol. 78: 1021–1029, 1997. The regulation of A-type K+ current ( I A) and the single channel underlying I A in neonatal rat hypothalamus/brain stem cultured neurons were studied with the use of the patch-clamp technique. I A had a threshold of activation between −30 and −25 mV ( n = 14). Steady-state inactivation of I A occurred between −80 and −70 mV and had a membrane voltage at which I A was half-maximum of −52.2 mV ( n = 14). The mean values for the activation and inactivation (decay) time constants during a voltage step to +20 mV were 2.1 ± 0.3 (SE) ms ( n = 8) and 13.6 ± 1.9 ms ( n = 8), respectively. Single-channel recordings from outside-out patches revealed A-type K+ channels with voltage-dependent activation, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) sensitivity, and inactivation kinetics similar to those of I A. The single-channel conductance obtained from cell-attached patches was15.8 ± 1.3 pS ( n = 4) in a physiological K+ gradient and 41.2 ± 3.7 pS ( n = 5) in symmetrical 140 mM K+. Angiotensin II (Ang II, 100 nM) reduced peak I A by ∼20% during a voltage step to +20 mV ( n = 8). Similarly, Ang II (100 nM) markedly reduced single A-type K+ channel activity by decreasing open probability ( n = 4). The actions of Ang II on I A and single A-type K+ channels were reversible either by addition of the selective angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist losartan (1 μM) or on washout of the peptide. Thus the activation of AT1 receptors inhibits a tetraethylammonium-chloride-resistant, 4-AP-sensitive I A and single A-type K+ channels, and this may underlie some of the actions of Ang II on electrical activity of the brain.

Activity of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) is the limiting step for discretionary Na+reabsorption in the cortical collecting duct. Xenopus laeviskidney A6 cells were used to investigate the effects of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity on Na+ transport. Application of aristolochic acid, a cPLA2 inhibitor, to the apical membrane of monolayers produced a decrease in apical [3H]arachidonic acid (AA) release and led to an approximate twofold increase in transepithelial Na+ current. Increased current was abolished by the nonmetabolized AA analog 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), suggesting that AA, rather than one of its metabolic products, affected current. In single channel studies, ETYA produced a decrease in ENaC open probability. This suggests that cPLA2 is tonically active in A6 cells and that the end effect of liberated AA at the apical membrane is to reduce Na+ transport via actions on ENaC. In contrast, aristolochic acid applied basolaterally inhibited current, and the effect was not reversed by ETYA. Basolateral application of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor ibuprofen also inhibited current. Both effects were reversed by prostaglandin E2(PGE2). This suggests that cPLA2 activity and free AA, which is metabolized to PGE2, are necessary to support transport. This study supports the fine-tuning of Na+ transport and reabsorption through the regulation of free AA and AA metabolism.

Whole Cell Current

In the present study we used whole-cell patch clamp recordings to investigate swelling-activated Cl-currents (ICl-swell) in M-1 mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells. Hypotonic cell swelling reversibly increased the whole-cell Cl- conductance by about 30-fold. The I-V relationship was outwardly-rectifying and ICl-swell displayed a characteristic voltage-dependence with relatively fast inactivation upon large depolarizing and slow activation upon hyperpolarizing voltage steps. Reversal potential measurements revealed a selectivity sequence SCN- > I- > Br- > Cl- > > gluconate. ICl-swell was inhibited by tamoxifen, NPPB (5-nitro-2(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate), DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid), flufenamic acid, niflumic acid, and glibenclamide, in descending order of potency. Extracellular cAMP had no significant effect. ICl-swell was Ca2+ independent, but current activation depended on the presence of a high-energy gamma-phosphate group from intracellular ATP or ATP gamma S. Moreover, it depended on the presence of intracellular Mg2+ and was inhibited by staurosporine, which indicates that a phosphorylation step is involved in channel activation. Increasing the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration by using ionomycin stimulated Cl- currents with a voltage dependence different from that of ICl-swell. Analysis of whole-cell current records during early onset of ICl-swell and during final recovery revealed discontinuous step-like changes of the whole-cell current level which were not observed under nonswelling conditions. A single-channel I-V curve constructed using the smallest resolvable current transitions detected at various holding potentials and revealed a slope conductance of 55, 15, and 8 pS at +120, 0, and -120 mV, respectively. The larger current steps observed in these recordings had about 2, 3, or 4 times the size of the putative single-channel current amplitude, suggesting a coordinated gating of several individual channels or channel subunits. In conclusion we have functionally characterized ICl-swell in M-1 CCD cells and have identified the underlying single channels in whole-cell current recordings.

Transfected Cells

Rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells were immortalized to study angiotensin II (ANG II) signaling in the CCD. Transfected cells retained CCD properties; arginine vasopressin (AVP), prostaglandin E2, and isoproterenol (10(-7) M) all significantly stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production; and parathyroid hormone and calcitonin had no effect on cAMP. Twenty-seven percent of transfected cells bound the beta-intercalated cell marker peanut lectin agglutinin, whereas antibodies against principal cells and alpha-intercalated cells immunolabeled 26% of cells. All cells stained with antibodies to the epithelial cell marker cytokeratin. By contrast, no immunofluorescence was observed with antibodies to smooth muscle myosin, Tamm-Horsfall protein, or factor VIII. Transfected cells demonstrated amiloride-sensitive transepithelial short-circuit current. In transfected cells, radioligand binding assays detected a single class of ANG II receptors (affinity constant = 0.78 nM), and AT1-receptor mRNA was demonstrated by Northern analysis. ANG II (10(-7) M) significantly inhibited AVP-stimulated cAMP production; lower concentrations (10(-10) M) increased phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In summary, we immortalized a rabbit CCD cell line that retains characteristic morphological and hormonal properties. These cells express AT1 receptors, coupled to inhibition of cAMP and to stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover. We postulate that these signaling pathways may mediate effects of ANG II on CCD transport and cell growth.

Angiotensin II (ANG II) regulates whole kidney ion transport, yet its effects in the collecting duct are unknown. The purpose of these studies was to determine whether ANG II regulates luminal alkalinization and acidification in the rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD). The rate of luminal alkalinization or acidification was measured as the rate of change of luminal fluid pH under stop-flow conditions using in vitro microperfused CCD segments. Outer CCD alkalinized the luminal fluid, consistent with net HCO3- secretion. Addition of ANG II, 10(-7) M, to the peritubular solution for 30 min significantly stimulated luminal alkalinization. The stimulatory effect of ANG II was not due to time-dependent effects and was blocked by peritubular addition of the ANG II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, losartan, at 10(-6) M. Losartan, 10(-6) M, when added to the peritubular solution, did not alter the rate of luminal alkalinization independent of ANG II. In contrast, peritubular ANG II, 10(-7) M, did not alter inner CCD luminal acidification. Addition of ANG II to the peritubular solution at the lower concentration of 10(-10) M did not alter the rates of luminal alkalinization and acidification in the outer and inner CCD, respectively. Peritubular ANG II, 10(-7) M, but not vehicle, stimulated B cell apical HCO3- secretion occurring in response to peritubular Cl- removal. These studies demonstrate that ANG II acts through a basolateral AT1 receptor to stimulate outer CCD luminal alkalinization via, at least in part, B cell stimulation.

We previously demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) stimulates the basolateral small-conductance K+channel (SK) via a cGMP-dependent pathway [M. Lu and W. H. Wang. Am. J. Physiol. 270 ( Cell Physiol. 39): C1336–C1342, 1996]. Because NO at high concentration has been shown to react with superoxide ([Formula: see text]) to form peroxynitrite (OONO−) [W. A. Pryor and G. L. Squadrito. Am. J. Physiol. 268 ( Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 12): L699–L722, 1995 and M. S. Wolin. Microcirculation 3: 1–17, 1996], we extended our study to examine, using patch-clamp technique, the effect of high concentrations of NO on SK in cortical collecting duct (CCD) of rat kidney. Addition of NO donors [100–200 μM S-nitroso- N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP)] reduced channel activity, defined as the product of channel number and open probability, to 15 and 25% of the control value, respectively. The inhibitory effect of NO was completely abolished in the presence of 10 mM Tiron, an intracellular scavenger of [Formula: see text]. NO donors, 10 μM SNAP or SNP, which stimulate channel activity under control conditions, can also inhibit SK in the presence of an[Formula: see text] donor, pyrogallol, or in the presence of an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase, diethyldithiocarbamic acid. The inhibitory effect of NO is still observed in the presence of exogenous cGMP, suggesting that the NO-induced inhibition is not the result of decreased cGMP production. We conclude that the inhibitory effect of NO on channel activity results from an interaction between NO and [Formula: see text].

The patch-clamp method was used to determine the properties and response to angiotensin II (ANG II) of K+ channels in subpassages of human mesangial cell cultures. In cell-attached patches, with 140 mM KCl in the bath and cell potential equal to 40 mV, the open probability (Po) of large K+ channels (MKCa) was 0.8 with 0.5 mM Ca2+ in the bath and < 0.05 if the bath Ca2+ concentration was reduced to 1.0 microM. Open and closed dwell-time histograms of MKCa displayed both fast and slow time constants. Addition of ANG II (100 nM) to the bath solution (Ca2+ = 1.0 microM) increased the Po of MKCa in cyclic bursts by decreasing the time constant of the slow closed state. In excised inside-out patches, the mean single-channel conductance of MKCa was 206 pS in symmetrical 140 mM KCl. The selectivity sequence, established in asymmetrical cationic solutions, was K+ (1.0) > Rb+ (0.54) > NH+4 (0.11) > > Cs+ = Na+ (< 0.05). The Po of MKCa was increased by depolarizing potentials and high bath Ca2+. The Boltzmann distribution was consistent with an effective valence of 1.0, and the Hill coefficient for Ca2+ activation was 0.52. We conclude that MKCa has properties similar to large Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels and may act to repolarize the membrane of mesangial cells in response to an agonist-induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+.
