Quinidine, a compound thought to increase cytosolic calcium ion activity, has been found to inhibit the hydrosmotic response to vasopressin (VP) and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in the toad urinary bladder. To test whether this drug has a similar action in the mammalian nephron, the effect of quinidine on the hydraulic conductivity of the isolated perfused rabbit cortical collecting tubule (CCT) exposed to either 20 microU/ml VP or 10(-4) M 8-(p-chlorophenylthio) - adenosine 3',5' - cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP) was studied. Quinidine had no effect on the basal water permeability of the CCT. Quinidine sulfate (10(-4) M) reduced the VP-stimulated water permeability from 280 +/- 50 X 10(-7) to 115 +/- 41 X 10(-7) cm X s-1 X atm-1 (P less than 0.05). The hydrosmotic response to 8-CPTcAMP was likewise reduced following exposure to quinidine. This effect was shown to be dose dependent. In paired experiments, inhibition of the response to 10(-4) M 8-CPTcAMP averaged 11% at 10(-6) M, 27% at 5 X 10(-6) M, 53% at 5 X 10(-5) M, and 50% at 10(-4) M quinidine. Inhibition of the response to 8-CPTcAMP was estimated to be half maximal at approximately 5 X 10(-6) M quinidine. Tubules were protected against the quinidine-induced inhibition by the addition of 6.5 X 10(-5) M quin 2-acetoxymethylester in the presence of low peritubular Ca concentration. These results are consistent with the view that elevated cytosolic Ca ion levels inhibit the increase in water permeability elicited by VP or exogenous cAMP in the mammalian CCT.

Changes in cytosolic Ca2+ activity have been implicated in the hydroosmotic response to vasopressin (VP) in amphibian urinary bladder; the level of cytosolic free Ca2+ may be regulated, in part, by a process of Na-Ca exchange across the basolateral cell membrane. To assess whether similar mechanisms operate in the mammalian nephron, the effect of low peritubular [NA] on the hydraulic conductivity (Lp) of the isolated perfused rabbit collecting tubule (CT) exposed to either 20 microunits/ml VP or 5 X 10(-5) M 8-[p-chlorophenylthio]-cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (ClPheS-cAMP) was studied. Low peritubular [Na] had no effect on the basal water permeability of the CT. After exposure to VP, CTs bathed in 145 mM Na Ringer solution developed an Lp of 324 +/- 27 X 10(-7) cm.s-1.atm-1, while tubules bathed in 4 mM Na and 141 mM tetramethylammonium Ringer solution achieved an Lp of only 112 +/- 13 X 10(-7) cm.s-1.atm-1 (P less than 0.001). Inhibition of the VP response was estimated to be half-maximal when peritubular Na was 120 mM. The hydroosmotic response to ClPheS-cAMP was diminished by 44% of the control values when CTs were bathed in a 4 mM Na medium; this inhibition was greatly attenuated when the peritubular Ca concentration was reduced to 0.05 mM. These results are consistent with the view that 1) a Na-Ca exchange process operates at the basolateral surface of the mammalian cortical collecting tubule cells, and 2) elevated cytosolic Ca ion activity inhibits the increase in water permeability elicited by VP or cAMP in this nephron segment.

Whereas interactions between antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and prostaglandins (PGs) have been reported in the cortical collecting tubule (CCD), the precise effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its analogue, 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) on PGE2 synthesis remain controversial. We examined the dynamic response of PGE2 synthesis to these two analogues in isolated rabbit CCD. Microdissected CCD were superfused, and basal and hormone-induced PGE2 synthesis were determined by enzyme immunoassay. Addition of arachidonic acid (AA) steeply increased basal PGE2 synthesis, in the 0-1 microM-dose range. The presence of AA was necessary to obtain a stimulatory effect of AVP on PGE2 synthesis. AVP induced an immediate, transitory, and dose-dependent stimulation of PGE2 synthesis. A maximal effect was obtained at 10(-8) M; PGE2 synthesis was increased by approximately 150-200% over the basal synthesis. With dDAVP, a very weak response was obtained only at 10(-7) M. From these results, we conclude that PGE2 synthesis in CCD is stimulated by ADH. This effect of ADH does not depend on the V2-receptor pathway and suggests the presence of V1-receptors in CCD.

In single cortical collecting tubules (CCT) of the rabbit, guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) increased the arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated adenylate cyclase (AC) by 60% (P less than 0.05). In contrast, guanosine 5' O-(2-thio)-diphosphate (GDP-beta S), a competitive inhibitor of GTP action on the stimulatory guanine regulatory protein (Ns), reduced the AVP-stimulated AC activity by 72% (P less than 0.001), indicating the presence of endogenous GTP in the cells under study. That inhibitory effect was reversed by the addition of GTP to the incubation medium. In isolated perfused CCT, cholera toxin (CT) induced a significant increase in water permeability in the absence of AVP. In contrast, Bordetella pertussis toxin (BPT) did not modify the low AVP-independent water permeability. Lithium, an inhibitor of the hydrosmotic action of AVP, also inhibits the hydrosmotic action of CT by 70% (P less than 0.05) but not that of forskolin. The conclusions of the present study are Ns is required for AVP stimulation of AC in the CCT; Ns is functionally active in this system as evidenced by the hydrosmotic effect of CT; the lack of effect of BPT suggests that the low AVP-independent water permeability in the CCT is not the result of a tonic inhibition of the AC operating through the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein; and the inhibition by lithium of the hydrosmotic action of AVP in the CCT appears to involve an interaction with the regulatory proteins (probably Ns) or with their binding to the catalytic unit of AC.

Water transport occurs in all biological membranes. A few selected membranes in the kidney, amphibian urinary bladder, and erythrocyte have very high water permeability and are thought to contain specialized water transporting units termed "water channels." The known biophysical properties of membranes containing water channels are a high osmotic water permeability coefficient (Pf), an osmotic-to-diffusional water permeability coefficient ratio (Pf/Pd) greater than unity, a low activation energy (Ea), and inhibition by mercurial compounds. The biochemical and molecular characteristics of water channel pathways are not known at present. Established and new methods to measure Pf and Pd in kidney tubules and in isolated membrane vesicles from kidney cells are reviewed and evaluated. In the mammalian proximal tubule, a high Pf results from transcellular movement of water across highly permeable apical and basolateral membranes containing water channels. It has been assumed that proximal tubule Pf is unregulated; however, recent results indicate that apical water channels are retrieved by endocytosis and that Pf is decreased fivefold with increasing transepithelial osmotic gradients. In the thin and thick ascending limbs, Pf is nearly the lowest of all biological membranes and is not subject to regulation. In contrast, collecting tubule Pf is subject to hormonal regulation by vasopressin. Vasopressin binding to receptors located at the basal membrane of principal cells initiates adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate production, which is thought ultimately to activate the exocytic insertion of intracellular vesicles containing water channels into the cell apical membrane. Vasopressin-induced endosomes from kidney collecting tubule and toad urinary bladder contain functional water channels but no proton pumps or urea transporters, supporting a membrane shuttle hypothesis that is selective for water channels. Future directions for the isolation and molecular cloning of kidney water channels are evaluated.

The effect of vanadate, a potent inhibitor of Na-K-ATPase, on the hydroosmotic response to vasopressin (AVP) and transepithelial voltage (Vt) in cortical collecting tubules was examined. At 37 degrees C, exposure of collecting tubules to bath vanadate (10(-4) M) for 30 min inhibited the increase in hydraulic water permeability (Lp) in response to AVP or 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate by 68 and 76%, respectively. When vanadate was present only in the lumen no inhibition of the AVP response was observed. Incubation of tubules with ouabain (10(-5) M) for 30 min inhibited the AVP-induced increase in Lp to the same extent as vanadate. At 25 degrees C, vanadate inhibited the increase in Lp by AVP if added before but not after the hormone. Addition of vanadate to the bath caused a rapid decrease in the lumen-negative Vt that is consistent with Na-K-ATPase inhibition. Luminal vanadate also inhibited Vt but the rate of decrease of Vt was much slower than in the presence of bath vanadate. We conclude that vanadate inhibits the development but not the maintenance of the AVP-induced increase in water permeability in the collecting tubule. Since the effect of ouabain was similar to that of vanadate, the results suggest that inhibition of Na-K-ATPase directly or indirectly interferes with the initiation of the AVP-induced increase in luminal membrane water permeability at a site distal to cAMP formation.

Rat inner medullary collecting tubule (RIMCT) cells produce arachidonate derivatives including prostacyclin (PGI2). In RIMCT cells, PGI2 causes a dose-dependent increase in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP; fmol/micrograms protein) from a basal level of 15.6 +/- 1.7 to 32.4 +/- 5.7 at 0.3 microM, 63.3 +/- 8.3 at 3 microM, and 103.5 +/- 9.4 at 30 microM PGI2. At concentrations of arginine vasopressin (AVP) from 10(-7) to 10(-9) M, cAMP was greater in the presence than absence of 3 microM PGI2, suggesting independent sites of action. To assess whether the PGI2 effect is mediated by the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor, desensitization studies were performed. A 6-h preincubation with 10 microM PGE2 blunted the response to 3 microM PGE2 by 90 +/- 2% but the PGI2 response was decreased by only 31 +/- 5%, P less than 0.001. Carbaprostacyclin (carba-PGI2), a stable analogue of PGI2, blunted the cAMP response to PGI2 by 94 +/- 3% but to PGE2 by only 46 +/- 7%, P less than 0.005. The postreceptor effect of PGI2 on components of the adenylate cyclase was examined. The response to forskolin was markedly potentiated by PGI2. PGI2 (3 microM) caused an increase in cAMP of 67 fmol/micrograms over basal in the absence of forskolin, of 164 fmol/micrograms at 10(-7) M forskolin, of 386 fmol/micrograms at 10(-6) M forskolin, and of 563 fmol/micrograms at 10(-5) M forskolin. The response of PGI2 was likewise potentiated by forskolin. Water permeability alone or in response to AVP in isolated perfused inner medullary collecting tubules was not affected by carba-PGI2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Diabetes insipidus and compulsive water drinking are representative of two categories of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) lack. We studied a strain of rats with congenital diabetes insipidus homozygote (DI) and normal rats on an isocaloric fortified dilute milk diet. In both cases, the collecting tubules could not concentrate urine. Special staining techniques, Alcian Blue-PAS for light microscopy and lanthanum nitrate for electron microscopy were used to demonstrate the changes in interstitial mucopolysaccharides (MPS). The lanthanum staining was done according to the method of Khan and Overton.Electron microscopy shows cytoplasmic lesions, vacules, swelling and degenerating mitochondria and intercellular spaces (IS) in the collecting tubule cells in DI and rats on milk diet.

In cortical collecting tubules (CCD) of aldosterone-repleted rabbit kidney, an increase in intracellular sodium concentration (Nai) induces the recruitment and/or activation of latent Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pumps (Blot-Chabaud et al., J. Biol. Chem. 265: 11676-11681, 1990). The present study was addressed to determine the time course of this Nai-dependent pump recruitment and to examine some of the factors possibly involved in this phenomenon. CCD from adrenalectomized rabbits complemented with aldosterone and dexamethasone were incubated at 4 degrees C either in a K(+)-free saline solution (Na(+)-loaded CCD) or in a sucrose solution (control CCD) and then rewarmed for various time periods to allow pump recruitment to occur. The number of pumps in the membrane was determined by specific [3H]ouabain binding; Nai was measured using 22Na. A rise in Nai induced a threefold increase in the number of basolateral pumps, which was fully achieved within 1-2 min. This pump recruitment was reversible within 15 min after restoration of low Nai. It was unaffected by inhibitors of cytoskeleton and Ca2+ ionophore A 23187. The blocker of the Na(+)-H+ antiporter, amiloride, did not prevent it. The protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, did not induce it in the absence of Na+. We conclude that Nai is a major determinant of pump recruitment and/or activation, which occurs over a very short period of time. It may constitute a rapid adaptative response to an increase in the cell Na+ load.

The instantaneous rate of efflux of intracellular Na was studied in rabbit isolated cortical collecting tubules (CCT) as a function of temperature and intracellular Na concentration ([Na]i). [Na]i of microdissected CCT was increased by cold and K-free exposure in the presence of 22Na and the extracellular tracer [3H] sorbitol. [Na]i rose rapidly to 40 mM at 30 min, after which it rose more slowly, reaching 120-140 mM at 6 h. Kinetics of Na efflux were studied after rapid rewarming, using a special device allowing measurements at 20-s intervals. Under control conditions, the total Na load was extruded in less than 8 min, whereas, in the presence of 10(-4) M ouabain, only 50% of the load was extruded during this period of time. Ouabain-sensitive Na efflux was first evident at 13 degrees C and gradually increased between 13 and 35 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, Na+-K+-ATPase-dependent Na efflux was dependent on [Na]i. This efflux gradually increased, from 0.05 to 0.5 peq.nl tubular volume-1.s-1 as a function of [Na]i and reached a plateau at 70 mM [Na]i. It is concluded that [Na]i is a major modulator of the pump activity in CCT; at normal levels of [Na]i, the pump is operating at only a small fraction of its total capacity.
