Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) modulates both water and sodium transport in the rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD). To determine whether these effects are mediated by separate PGE2 receptors, we compared the effects of PGE2 and its analogue sulprostone in the isolated perfused rabbit CCD. PGE2 increased basal water permeability (hydraulic conductivity), whereas sulprostone did not. PGE2 and sulprostone were equipotent inhibitors of water absorption when it was prestimulated by vasopressin. Pertussis toxin completely reversed the inhibitory effect of sulprostone but only partially reversed the inhibitory effect of PGE2. In contrast, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, staurosporine, partially reversed the inhibitory effect of PGE2 but had no effect on sulprostone. PGE2 also raised intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i). This effect is coupled to its capacity to inhibit Na+ absorption. Sulprostone was 10-fold less potent than PGE2 both in raising [Ca2+]i or inhibiting sodium transport. The results suggest sulprostone selectively interacts with a PGE2 receptor coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive inhibition of water permeability. Sulprostone less potently activates a PGE2 receptor coupled to [Ca2+]i, PKC activation, and sodium transport and completely fails to interact with the PGE2 receptor that stimulates water permeability in the collecting duct. These results suggest distinct PGE2 receptors modulate sodium and water transport in the CCD.

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.

The effect of bile acids on adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) synthesis was investigated in isolated hamster hepatocytes. Bile acids had no direct effect on cAMP production. However, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid inhibited, by approximately 45%, cAMP formation induced by concentrations of glucagon greater than 1 nM, with a respective half-maximum inhibitory effect observed at 4 +/- 2 microM. Similar inhibition was observed with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Chenodeoxycholic, murocholic, and taurodeoxycholic acids were the next most potent bile acids. Taurolithocholic acid was 100-fold less potent than UDCA, whereas both ursocholic and taurocholic acids had no effect at concentrations up to 0.5 mM. Neither bile acids nor PMA affected either the binding of glucagon to its receptor, the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, or the inhibitory and stimulatory (Gs) GTP-binding proteins. The inhibitory effect of PMA and UDCA on glucagon-induced cAMP synthesis was abolished in the presence of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, staurosporine. Furthermore, UDCA induced PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane and stimulated phosphorylation of an 80-kDa protein substrate for PKC. In conclusion, mediated by PKC activation, bile acids inhibit glucagon-induced cAMP synthesis by uncoupling the glucagon receptor and Gs.

To clarify the role of the PGI2/PGI2 receptor (IP) system in rabbit cortical collecting duct (RCCD), we characterized the expression of IP receptors in the rabbit kidney. We show by Northern and Western blotting that IP mRNA and protein was detectable in all three regions of the kidney. To determine how PGI2 signals, we compared the effects of different PGI2 analogs [iloprost (ILP), carba-prostacyclin (c-PGI2), and cicaprost (CCP)] in the isolated perfused RCCD. PGI2 analogs did not increase water flow ( L p). Although PGI2 analogs did not reduce an established L p response to 8-chlorophenylthio-cAMP, they equipotently inhibited AVP-stimulated L p by 45%. The inhibitory effect of ILP and c-PGI2 on AVP-stimulated L p is partially reversed by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine and abolished by pertussis toxin; no effect was obtained with CCP. In fura 2-loaded RCCD, CCP did not alter cytosolic Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i), but, in the presence of CCP, individual infusion of ILP and PGE2 increased [Ca2+]i, suggesting that CCP did not cause desensitization to either ILP or PGE2. We concluded that ILP and c-PGI2 activate PKC and the liberation of [Ca2+]i but not CCP. This suggested an important role for phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in mediating ILP and c-PGI2 effects but not CCP in RCCD.

Experiments examined the effects of elevation of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) or activation of protein kinase C (PKC) on Na+ and water transport in the rat cortical collecting duct (CCD). We measured the lumen-to-bath 22Na+ flux (J1-->b), transepithelial voltage (VT), and water permeability (Pf) in CCD from deoxycorticosterone (DOC)-treated rats. Ionomycin (0.5 and 1 microM) and thapsigargin (1 and 2 microM) were used to increase [Ca2+]i. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 0.3 and 1 microM) and oleoyl-acetyl-glycerol (OAG; 100 microM) were used as activators of PKC. [Ca2+]i was measured in isolated perfused tubules using the fluorescent dye fura 2. When added to the bathing solution, 220 pM arginine vasopressin (AVP) failed to affect [Ca2+]i, whereas 1 microM ionomycin increased [Ca2+]i by 103 +/- 15% and 2 microM thapsigargin increased [Ca2+]i by 24 +/- 4%. In flux studies, neither ionomycin nor thapsigargin affected J1-->b or Pf, although ionomycin caused marked morphological changes. Ionomycin also failed to alter either parameter in tubules from non-DOC-treated rats. Neither 100 microM OAG nor 1 microM PMA affected J1-->b or Pf. OAG at 50 microM had no effect on VT or transepithelial resistance, indicating no inhibition of conductive Na+ transport. We conclude that increased [Ca2+]i and PKC activation do not affect J1--b or Pf in the rat CCD. These findings may account for the sustained increase in J1--b produced in the rat CCD by AVP.

It is well known that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) both inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated water permeability (hydraulic conductivity, Lp) in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) or, if administered alone, modestly increases Lp in the CCD. These bifunctional effects on Lp correspond to PGE2's capacity to inhibit AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase (AC) activity, or to singularly stimulate AC activity in the collecting duct. The present studies suggest that the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on Lp may also be mediated by phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis. Using in vitro microperfused rabbit CCDs, we show that PGE2 releases Ca from intracellular stores. We also demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on AVP-stimulated Lp in the CCD is significantly reversed by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, staurosporine (SSP). Although PGE2 does not reduce an established water flow response to 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPTcAMP), when the sequence of addition is reversed and PGE2 is added first, marked inhibition of 8-CPTcAMP-induced Lp is observed. This provides independent evidence that PGE2 can act through a mechanism separate from modulating AC activity. PGE2 inhibition of 8-CPTcAMP-induced Lp is reversed by SSP pretreatment. Finally, SSP pretreatment also markedly potentiates the capacity of PGE2 itself to increase Lp. We conclude that PGE2 releases Ca from intracellular stores and, by activating PKC, inhibits AVP-induced osmotic water flow. This suggests an important role for PI hydrolysis in mediating PGE2's effects on the CCD.

We examined the effect of carbachol, an acetylcholine analogue, on hydraulic conductivity (Lp) response to 10 microU/ml arginine vasopressin (AVP) in rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD). In CCDs in which water flow had been established with AVP, subsequent addition of carbachol caused Lp (X10(-7) cm.atm-1.s-1) to fall from 251 +/- 32 to 146 +/- 19. Carbachol washout resulted in recovery of Lp to 217 +/- 38. In CCDs in which water flow had been established using 10(-4) M 8-chlorophenylthioadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP), addition of carbachol had no effect. These posttreatment studies suggest that carbachol's effects on modulating established water flow occur at a "pre-cAMP" step. With carbachol added first, AVP-induced Lp was reduced from 233 +/- 24 (controls) to 105 +/- 19 (carbachol-pretreated). Pretreatment with 10(-6) M atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, totally reversed the inhibitory effect of carbachol, consistent with a receptor-mediated effect of carbachol. Carbachol pretreatment also inhibited 8-CPT-cAMP-induced Lp, indicating that carbachol's effects also occur at a "post-cAMP" step. Pretreatment with 10(-7) M staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, reversed inhibitory effect of carbachol on AVP-induced Lp (193 +/- 26), suggesting that carbachol's effects are mediated by PKC. Intracellular calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) was measured in fura-2-loaded CCDs. Carbachol also increased [Ca2+]i from 229 +/- 120 to 389 +/- 160 nM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Primary cultures of immunodissected rabbit connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct cells were used to investigate the effect of apical Na+ entry rate on aldosterone-induced transepithelial Na+ transport, which was measured as benzamil-sensitive short-circuit current ( I sc). Stimulation of the apical Na+ entry, by long-term short-circuiting of the monolayers, suppressed the aldosterone-stimulated benzamil-sensitive I sc from 320 ± 49 to 117 ± 14%, whereas in the presence of benzamil this inhibitory effect was not observed (335 ± 74%). Immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labeled β-rabbit epithelial Na+ channel (rbENaC) revealed that the effects of modulation of apical Na+ entry on transepithelial Na+ transport are exactly mirrored by β-rbENaC protein levels, because short-circuiting the monolayers decreased aldosterone-induced β-rbENaC protein synthesis from 310 ± 51 to 56 ± 17%. Exposure to benzamil doubled the β-rbENaC protein level to 281 ± 68% in control cells but had no significant effect on aldosterone-stimulated β-rbENaC levels (282 ± 68%). In conclusion, stimulation of apical Na+ entry suppresses the aldosterone-induced increase in transepithelial Na+transport. This negative-feedback inhibition is reflected in a decrease in β-rbENaC synthesis or in an increase in β-rbENaC degradation.

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasodilator that causes natriuresis and diuresis. However, the direct effect of ADM on osmotic water permeability in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) has not been tested. We investigated whether ADM and its ADM receptor components (CRLR, RAMP2, and 3) are expressed in rat inner medulla (IM) and whether ADM regulates osmotic water permeability in isolated perfused rat IMCDs. The mRNAs of ADM, CRLR, and RAMP2 and 3 were detected in rat IM. Abundant protein of CRLR and RAMP3 were also seen but RAMP2 protein level was extremely low. Adding ADM (100 nM) to the bath significantly decreased osmotic water permeability. ADM significantly decreased aquaporin-2 (AQP2) phosphorylation at Serine 256 (pS256) and increased it at Serine 261 (pS261). ADM significantly increased cAMP levels in IM. However, inhibition of cAMP by SQ22536 further decreased ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Stimulation of cAMP by roflumilast increased ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Previous studies show that ADM also stimulates phospholipase C (PLC) pathways including protein kinase C (PKC) and cGMP. We tested whether PLC pathways regulate ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability. Blockade of either PLC by U73122 or PKC by rottlerin significantly augmented the ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability and promoted pS256-AQP2 but did change pS261-AQP2. Inhibition of cGMP by L-NAME did not change AQP2 phosphorylation. In conclusion, ADM primarily binds to the CRLR-RAMP3 receptor to initiate signaling pathways in the IM. ADM reduced water reabsorption through a PLC-pathway involving PKC. ADM-attenuated water reabsorption may be related to decreased trafficking of AQP2 to the plasma membrane. cAMP is not involved in ADM-attenuated osmotic water permeability.
