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.

Rabbit connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct cells were isolated by immunodissection and cultured to confluence on permeable filters and on glass coverslips. Extracellular ATP dose-dependently reduced transcellular Na+ and Ca2+ transport (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50, of 0.5 +/- 0.2 and 3.2 +/- 0.5 microM), with a maximal inhibition of 57 +/- 5 and 43 +/- 4%, respectively. Purinergic receptor agonists inhibited transport with the following rank order of potency: UTP = ATP > ADP; this suggests involvement of P2u purinoceptors. ATP also caused a dose-dependent (50% effective dose, EC50, of 1.5 +/- 0.2 microM) transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which decreased to a sustained elevated level. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, a similar Ca2+ transient occurred, but the sustained response was abolished. Preloading the cells with the Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) completely prevented the ATP-induced Ca2+ transients, but not the ATP-induced inhibition of Na+ and Ca2+ absorption. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by the cell-permeable diacylglycerol analogue, 1,2-dioctanoyl-en-glycerol, mimicked ATP-induced inhibition of Na+ and Ca2+ absorption. The inhibitory effects of ATP were no longer observed after culturing cells in the presence of phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) for 5 days, which resulted in downregulation of cellular PKC activity.

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.

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.

Exogenous ATP markedly reduced 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP)-stimulated Ca2+ transport and cAMP accumulation in primary cultures of rabbit connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct cells. Similarly, ATP inhibited the stimulatory effect of 8-bromo-cAMP. At first sight, this is in agreement with the “classic” concept that dDAVP exerts its stimulatory effect via cAMP. However, dDAVP-stimulated Ca2+ transport was markedly reduced by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine, reported previously to inhibit the cAMP-independent pathway responsible for parathyroid hormone-, [Arg8]vasopressin-, PGE2-, and adenosine-stimulated Ca2+ transport. Chelerythrine also inhibited the increase in Ca2+transport evoked by the cAMP-independent A1 receptor agonist N 6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA). Downregulation of phorbol ester-sensitive PKC isoforms by chronic phorbol ester treatment has been shown before to be without effect on hormone-stimulated Ca2+transport, indicating that the chelerythrine-inhibitable pathway consists of a phorbol ester-insensitive PKC isoform. Here, this maneuver did not affect ATP inhibition of dDAVP-stimulated Ca2+ transport and cAMP formation, while abolishing ATP inhibition of CPA-stimulated Ca2+ transport. These findings show that ATP acts via 1) a phorbol ester-sensitive PKC isoform to inhibit hormonal stimulation of Ca2+ transport at the level of the chelerythrine-inhibitable pathway involving a phorbol ester-insensitive PKC isoform and 2) a phorbol ester-insensitive mechanism to inhibit V2 receptor-mediated concomitant activation of this pathway and adenylyl cyclase.

This study evaluated the anti-ascites effect of total diterpenoids extracted from Euphorbiae ebracteolatae Radix (TDEE) on malignant ascitic mice and elucidated its underlying mechanism. TDEE was extracted by dichloromethane and subjected to column chromatography. The purity of six diterpenoids isolated from TDEE was determined to be 77.18% by HPLC. TDEE (3 and 0.6 g raw herbs/kg, p.o.) reduced ascites and increased urine output. Meanwhile, analysis of tumor cell viability, cycle and apoptosis indicated that TDEE had no antitumor activity. In addition, the expression levels of aquaporins (AQPs) and the membrane translocation levels of protein kinase C (PKC) α and PKCβ in kidney and cells were measured. TDEE reduced the levels of AQP1–4, and inhibited PKCβ expression in membrane fraction. Four main diterpenoids, except compound 2, reduced AQP1 level in human kidney-2 cells. Compounds 4 and 5 inhibited AQP2–4 expression in murine inner medullary collecting duct cells. The diterpenoid-induced inhibition of AQP1–4 expression was blocked by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA; agonist of PKC). The diterpenoids from TDEE are the main anti-ascites components. The anti-ascites effect of diterpenoids may be associated with alterations in AQPs in the kidneys to promote diuresis. The inhibition of AQP1–4 expression by TDEE is related to the inhibition of PKCβ activation.

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.

To characterize Ca2+ transport in newborn rat cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, we used nifedipine, which in adult rat distal tubules inhibits the intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) increase in response to hormonal activation. We found that the dihydropyridine (DHP) nifedipine (20 μM) produced an increase in [Ca2+]i from 87.6 ± 3.3 nM to 389.9 ± 29.0 nM in 65% of the cells. Similar effects of other DHP (BAY K 8644, isradipine) were also observed. Conversely, DHPs did not induce any increase in [Ca2+]i in cells obtained from proximal convoluted tubule. In CCD cells, neither verapamil nor diltiazem induced any rise in [Ca2+]i. Experiments in the presence of EGTA showed that external Ca2+ was required for the nifedipine effect, while lanthanum (20 μM), gadolinium (100 μM), and diltiazem (20 μM) inhibited the effect. Experiments done in the presence of valinomycin resulted in the same nifedipine effect, showing that K+ channels were not involved in the nifedipine-induced [Ca2+]i rise. H2O2also triggered [Ca2+]i rise. However, nifedipine-induced [Ca2+]i increase was not affected by protamine. In conclusion, the present results indicate that 1) primary cultures of cells from terminal nephron of newborn rats are a useful tool for investigating Ca2+transport mechanisms during growth, and 2) newborn rat CCD cells in primary culture exhibit a new apical nifedipine-activated Ca2+ channel of capacitive type (either transient receptor potential or leak channel).
