Abnormally high epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) activity in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron and collecting duct leads to hypertension. Myelin and lymphocyte (Mal) is a lipid raft-associated protein that has been previously shown to regulate Na+-K-2Cl− cotransporter and aquaporin-2 in the kidney, but it is not known whether it regulates renal ENaC. ENaC activity is positively regulated by the anionic phospholipid phosphate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Members of the myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) family increase PIP2 concentrations at the plasma membrane, whereas hydrolysis of PIP2 by phospholipase C (PLC) reduces PIP2 abundance. Our hypothesis was that Mal protein negatively regulates renal ENaC activity by stabilizing PLC protein expression at the luminal plasma membrane. We investigated the association between Mal, MARCKS-like protein, and ENaC. We showed Mal colocalizes with PLC-β3 in lipid rafts and positively regulates its protein expression, thereby reducing PIP2 availability at the plasma membrane. Kidneys of 129Sv mice injected with MAL shRNA lentivirus resulted in increased ENaC open probability in split-open renal tubules. Overexpression of Mal protein in mouse cortical collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells resulted in an increase in PLC-β3 protein expression at the plasma membrane. siRNA-mediated knockdown of MAL in mpkCCD cells resulted in a decrease in PLC-β3 protein expression and an increase in PIP2 abundance. Moreover, kidneys from salt-loaded mice showed less Mal membrane protein expression compared with non-salt-loaded mice. Taken together, Mal protein may play an essential role in the negative feedback of ENaC gating in principal cells of the collecting duct.

Calpain 2

We previously demonstrated a role for the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) to serve as an adaptor protein in the anionic phospholipid phosphate-dependent regulation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Both MARCKS and ENaC are regulated by proteolysis. Calpains are a family of ubiquitously expressed intracellular Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases involved in signal transduction. Here we examine the role of calpain-2 in regulating MARCKS and ENaC in cultured renal epithelial cells and in the mouse kidney. Using recombinant fusion proteins, we show that MARCKS, but not the ENaC subunits, are a substrate of calpain-2 in the presence of Ca2+. Pharmacological inhibition of calpain-2 alters MARCKS protein expression in light-density sucrose gradient fractions from cell lysates of mouse cortical collecting duct cells. Calpain-dependent cleaved products of MARCKS are detectable in cultured renal cells. Ca2+ mobilization and calpain-2 inhibition decrease the association between ENaC and MARCKS. The inhibition of calpain-2 reduces ENaC activity as demonstrated by single-channel patch-clamp recordings and transepithelial current measurements. These results suggest that calpain-2 proteolysis of MARCKS promotes its interaction with lipids and ENaC at the plasma membrane to allow for the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-dependent regulation of ENaC activity in the kidney.

Excised patches of apical membranes from immunodissected rabbit cortical collecting duct cells in primary culture were studied by the patch-clamp technique. Barium (1 mM) and tetraethylammonium chloride (5 mM) were added to all solutions to block potassium channel activity. A unique channel was observed that exhibited inward rectification under symmetrical ionic conditions with a measured chord conductance of 54.0 +/- 2.5 pS at -80 mV (n = 11) and 22.1 +/- 1.7 pS at +80 mV (n = 5). This channel was chloride selective, with a PNa:PCl of 0.16 (n = 3). Kinetic analysis revealed a voltage-independent open-time probability of 0.80 +/- 0.07 (n = 6). Open-time probability within bursts was 0.96 +/- 0.01. Addition of ATP to the cytosolic surface of the channel resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in open probability, with a threshold effect at 10(-4) M, due to a reduction in burst open time. The effect of ATP was immediate, rapidly reversible at room temperature, and mimicked by GTP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). This channel may link epithelial chloride permeability to cellular ATP content in the rabbit cortical collecting duct.

Atpase Staining

Intercalated cells (ICs) from kidney collecting ducts contain proton-transporting ATPases (H+-ATPases) whose plasma membrane expression is regulated under a variety of conditions. It has been shown that net proton secretion occurs in the distal nephron from chronically K+-depleted rats and that upregulation of tubular H+- ATPase is involved in this process. However, regulation of this protein at the level of individual cells has not so far been examined. In the present study, H+-ATPase activity was determined in individually identified ICs from control and chronically K+-depleted rats (9–14 days on a low-K+ diet) by monitoring K+- and Na+-independent H+ extrusion rates after an acute acid load. Split-open rat cortical collecting tubules were loaded with the intracellular pH (pHi) indicator 2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, and pHiwas determined by using ratiometric fluorescence imaging. The rate of pHi recovery in ICs in response to an acute acid load, a measure of plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity, was increased after K+ depletion to almost three times that of controls. Furthermore, the lag time before the start of pHirecovery after the cells were maximally acidified fell from 93.5 ± 13.7 s in controls to 24.5 ± 2.1 s in K+-depleted rats. In all ICs tested, Na+- and K+-independent pHi recovery was abolished in the presence of bafilomycin (100 nM), an inhibitor of the H+-ATPase. Analysis of the cell-to-cell variability in the rate of pHi recovery reveals a change in the distribution of membrane-bound proton pumps in the IC population of cortical collecting duct from K+-depleted rats. Immunocytochemical analysis of collecting ducts from control and K+-depleted rats showed that K+-depletion increased the number of ICs with tight apical H+ATPase staining and decreased the number of cells with diffuse or basolateral H+-ATPase staining. Taken together, these data indicate that chronic K+ depletion induces a marked increase in plasma membrane H+ATPase activity in individual ICs.

Amiloride-sensitive whole cell currents have been reported in M-1 mouse cortical collecting duct cells (Korbmacher et al., J. Gen. Physiol. 102: 761-793, 1993). We have confirmed that amiloride inhibits the whole cell currents but not necessarily the measured whole cell currents. Anomalous responses were eliminated by removing external Na+ and/or introducing paraepithelial shunts. The amiloride-sensitive whole cell currents displayed Goldman rectification. The ionic selectivity sequence of the amiloride-sensitive conductance was Li+ > Na+ >> K+. Growth of M-1 cells on permeable supports increased the amiloride-sensitive whole cell permeability, compared with cells grown on plastic. Single amiloride-sensitive channels were observed, which conformed to the highly selective low-conductance amiloride-sensitive class [Na(5)] of epithelial Na+ channels. Hypotonic pretreatment markedly slowed run-down of channel activity. The gating of the M-1 Na+ channel in excised patches was complex. Open- and closed-state dwell-time distributions from patches that display one operative channel were best described with two or more exponential terms each. We conclude that 1) study of M-1 whole cell Na+ currents is facilitated by reducing the transepithelial potential to zero, 2) these M-1 currents reflect the operation of Na(5) channels, and 3) the Na+ channels display complex kinetics, involving > or = 2 open and > or = 2 closed states.

Confluent monolayers of immunodissected rabbit connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct cells, cultured on permeable supports, were used to study the effect of adenosine on net apical-to-basolateral Ca2+ transport. Apical, but not basolateral, adenosine increased this transport dose dependently from 48 ± 3 to 110 ± 4 nmol ⋅ h−1 ⋅ cm−2. Although a concomitant increase in cAMP formation suggested the involvement of an A2 receptor, the A2 agonist CGS-21680 did not stimulate Ca2+ transport, while readily increasing cAMP. By contrast, the A1 agonist N 6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) maximally stimulated Ca2+transport without significantly affecting cAMP. Adenosine-stimulated transport was effectively inhibited by the A1 antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopenthylxanthine but not the A2 antagonist 3,7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine, providing additional evidence for the involvement of an A1 receptor. Both abolishment of the adenosine-induced transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid and downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) by prolonged phorbol ester treatment were without effect on adenosine-stimulated Ca2+ transport. The data presented suggest that adenosine interacts with an apical A1 receptor to stimulate Ca2+ transport via a hitherto unknown pathway that does not involve cAMP formation, PKC activation, and/or Ca2+ mobilization.

Medullary Collecting Duct

The vasopressin-regulated urea transporter (VRUT) is a 97-kDa protein (also called “UT-1”) responsible for facilitated urea transport across the apical plasma membrane of inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. To determine the abundance of VRUT protein in collecting duct cells of the rat, we designed a sensitive fluorescence-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay capable of detecting <5 fmol of VRUT protein. In collecting duct segments, measurable VRUT was found in microdissected IMCD segments but not in other portions of the collecting duct. In the mid-IMCD, the measured level averaged 5.3 fmol/mm tubule length, corresponding to approximately 5 million copies of VRUT per cell. Thus VRUT is extremely abundant in the IMCD, accounting, in part, for the extremely high urea permeability of this segment. Feeding a low-protein diet (8% protein) markedly decreased urea clearance but did not alter the quantity of VRUT protein in the IMCD. Thus increased urea transport across the collecting duct with dietary protein restriction is not a consequence of increased expression of VRUT. Based on urea fluxes measured in the IMCD and our measurements of the number of copies of VRUT, we estimate a turnover number of > or = 0.3-1 x 10(5) s. In view of the large magnitude of this value and previously reported biophysical properties of urea transport in collecting ducts, we hypothesize that the VRUT may function as a channel rather than a carrier.
