Psychotropic drugs may be associated with hyponatremia, but an understanding of how they induce water retention in the kidney remains elusive. Previous studies have postulated that they may increase vasopressin production in the hypothalamus without supporting evidences. In this study, we investigated the possibility of drug-induced nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) using haloperidol, sertraline, and carbamazepine. Haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine were treated in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) suspensions and primary cultured IMCD cells prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats. The responses of intracellular cAMP production, aquaporin-2 (AQP2) protein expression and localization, vasopressin-2 receptor (V2R) and AQP2 mRNA, and cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) were tested with and without tolvaptan, and the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors H89 and Rp-cAMPS. In IMCD suspensions, cAMP production was increased by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was relieved by tolvaptan cotreatment. In primary cultured IMCD cells, haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine treatment increased total-AQP2 and decreased pSer261-AQP2 protein expression. Notably, these responses were reversed by cotreatment with tolvaptan or a PKA inhibitor. AQP2 membrane trafficking was induced by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was also blocked by cotreatment with tolvaptan or a PKA inhibitor. Furthermore, upregulation of V2R and AQP2 mRNA and phosphorylated CREB was induced by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was blocked by tolvaptan cotreatment. We conclude that, in the rat IMCD, psychotropic drugs upregulate AQP2 via V2R-cAMP-PKA signaling in the absence of vasopressin stimulation. The vasopressin-like action on the kidney appears to accelerate AQP2 transcription and dephosphorylate AQP2 at serine 261.

Urine concentration involves the hormone vasopressin (AVP), which stimulates cAMP production in renal principal cells, resulting in translocation and transcription of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels, greatly increasing the water permeability, leading to a concentrated urine. As cAMP levels decrease shortly after AVP addition, whereas AQP2 levels still increase and are maintained for days, we investigated in the present study the mechanism responsible for the AQP2 increase after long-term 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) application using mouse collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells. While 30 min of dDAVP incubation strongly increased cAMP, cAMP was lower with 1 day and was even further reduced with 4 days of dDAVP, although still significantly higher than in control cells. One day of dDAVP incubation increased AQP2 promoter-dependent transcription, which was blocked by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89. Moreover, phosphorylation of the cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) and CRE-dependent transcription was observed after short-term dDAVP stimulation. With 4 days of dDAVP, AQP2 transcription remained elevated, but this was not blocked by H89, and CRE-dependent transcription and CREB phosphorylation were not increased. Exchange factor directly activated by cAMP (Epac) 1 and 2 were found to be endogenously expressed in mpkCCD cells. Application of dDAVP increased the expression of Epac1, while Epac2 was reduced. Incubation with a specific Epac activator after dDAVP pretreatment increased both AQP2 abundance and transcription compared with cells left unstimulated the last day. In conclusion, the PKA-CRE pathway is involved in the initial rise in AQP2 levels after dDAVP stimulation but not in the long-term effect of dDAVP. Instead, long-term regulation of AQP2 may involve the activation of Epac.

The antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin increases the osmotic water permeability of the renal collecting ducts by inducing the shuttling of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels from intracellular vesicles to the apical plasma membrane of the principal cells. This process has been demonstrated to be dependent on the cytoskeleton and protein kinase A (PKA). Previous studies in the toad urinary bladder, a functional homologue of the renal collecting duct, have demonstrated that the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) is also able to activate the vasopressin-sensitive water permeability pathway in this tissue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of NEM on AQP2 trafficking in a mammalian system. We show that NEM causes translocation of AQP2 from the cytosol to the plasma membrane in rat inner medullary collecting ducts; like the response to arginine vasopressin, this action was also dependent on an intact cytoskeleton and PKA. This effect is not mediated by cAMP but results from direct activation of PKA by NEM.

The present study was carried out to characterize the membrane conductive properties of RCCT-28A cells, a continuous cell line derived from rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD). RCCT-28A cells have many phenotypic properties of acid-secreting intercalated cells (A-IC). Using the whole cell patch-clamp technique, we found that the cells are conductive to Cl-, but not to Na+ or K+. The beta-adrenergic agonists isoproterenol (2 x 10(-6) M) and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP, 10(-4) M) increased the whole cell Cl- conductance. Protein kinase A (150 nM) in the patch pipette (i.e., intracellular solution) also increased whole cell Cl- conductance. Because isoproterenol increases cAMP levels in these cells, we conclude that isoproterenol stimulates the Cl- conductance by increasing cell cAMP, which in turn activates protein kinase A. In contrast, vasopressin does not increase cAMP in these cells and did not increase the Cl- conductance. In conclusion, these experiments show that RCCT-28A cells, like A-IC, are conductive only to Cl-. Thus RCCT-28A cells are a good model with which to study Cl- channels in the collecting duct.

Vasopressin regulates osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated control of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Collecting duct principal cells express two seemingly redundant PKA catalytic subunits, PKA catalytic α (PKA-Cα) and PKA catalytic β (PKA-Cβ). To identify the roles of these two protein kinases, we carried out deep phosphoproteomic analysis in cultured mpkCCD cells in which either PKA-Cα or PKA-Cβ was deleted using CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing. Controls were cells carried through the genome editing procedure but without deletion of PKA. TMT mass tagging was used for protein mass spectrometric quantification. Of the 4,635 phosphopeptides that were quantified, 67 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cα deletion, whereas 21 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cβ deletion. However, only four sites were changed in both. The target proteins identified in PKA-Cα-null cells were largely associated with cell membranes and membrane vesicles, whereas target proteins in PKA-Cβ-null cells were largely associated with the actin cytoskeleton and cell junctions. In contrast, in vitro incubation of mpkCCD proteins with recombinant PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ resulted in virtually identical phosphorylation changes. In addition, analysis of total protein abundances in in vivo samples showed that PKA-Cα deletion resulted in a near disappearance of AQP2 protein, whereas PKA-Cβ deletion did not decrease AQP2 abundance. We conclude that PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ serve substantially different regulatory functions in renal collecting duct cells and that differences in phosphorylation targets may be due to differences in protein interactions, e.g., mediated by A-kinase anchor proteins, C-kinase anchoring proteins, or PDZ binding.

Regulation of body water homeostasis is critically dependent on the kidney and under the control of AVP, which is released from the neurohypophysis. In the collecting duct (CD) of the kidney, AVP activates adenylyl cyclase via vasopressin V2 receptors. cAMP-dependent activation of protein kinase A phosphorylates the water channel aquaporin-2 and increases water permeability by insertion of aquaporin-2 into the apical cell membrane. However, local factors modulate the effects of AVP to fine tune its effects, accelerate responses, and potentially protect the integrity of CD cells. Nucleotides like ATP belong to these local factors and act in an autocrine and paracrine way to activate P2Y2 receptors on CD cells. Extracellular breakdown of ATP and cAMP forms adenosine, the latter also induces specific effects on the CD by activation of adenosine A1 receptors. Activation of both receptor types can inhibit the cAMP-triggered activation of protein kinase A and reduce water permeability and transport. This review focuses on the role and potential interactions of the ATP and adenosine system with regard to the regulation of water transport in the CD. We address the potential stimuli and mechanisms involved in nucleotide release and adenosine formation, and discuss the corresponding signaling cascades that are activated. Potential interactions between the ATP and adenosine system, as well as other factors involved in the regulation of CD function, are outlined. Data from pharmacological studies and gene-targeted mouse models are presented to demonstrate the in vivo relevance to water transport and homeostasis.

Lithium chloride (LiCl) is a widely used drug for the treatment of bipolar disorders, but as a side effect, 40% of the patients develop diabetes insipidus. LiCl affects the activity of the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), and mice deficient for GSK3β showed a reduction in the urine concentration capability. The cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We used primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells to analyze the underlying mechanisms. LiCl and the inhibitor of GSK3 (SB216763) induced a decrease in the aquaporin-2 (Aqp2) protein level. LiCl induced downregulation of Aqp2 mRNA expression while SB216763 had no effect and TWS119 led to increase in expression. The inhibition of the lysosomal activity with bafilomycin or chloroquine prevented both LiCl- and SB216763-mediated downregulation of Aqp2 protein expression. Bafilomycin and chloroquine induced the accumulation of Aqp2 in lysosomal structures, which was prevented in cells treated with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbcAMP), which led to phosphorylation and membrane localization of Aqp2. Downregulation of Aqp2 was also evident when LiCl was applied together with dbcAMP, and dbcAMP prevented the SB216763-induced downregulation. We showed that LiCl and SB216763 induce downregulation of Aqp2 via different mechanisms. While LiCl also affected the mRNA level, SB216763 induced lysosmal degradation. Specific GSK3β inhibition had an opposite effect, indicating a more complex regulatory mechanism.
