Aldosterone indirectly regulates water reabsorption in the distal tubule by regulating sodium reabsorption. However, the direct effect of aldosterone on vasopressin-regulated water and urea permeability in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) has not been tested. We investigated whether aldosterone regulates osmotic water permeability in isolated perfused rat IMCDs. Adding aldosterone (500 nM) to the bath significantly decreased osmotic water permeability in the presence of vasopressin (50 pM) in both male and female rat IMCDs. Aldosterone significantly decreased aquaporin-2 (AQP2) phosphorylation at S256 but did not change it at S261. Previous studies show that aldosterone can act both genomically and non-genomically. We tested the mechanism by which aldosterone attenuates osmotic water permeability. Blockade of gene transcription with actinomycin D did not reverse aldosterone-attenuated osmotic water permeability. In addition to AQP2, the urea transporter UT-A1 contributes to vasopressin-regulated urine concentrating ability. We tested aldosterone-regulated urea permeability in vasopressin-treated IMCDs. Blockade of gene transcription did not reverse aldosterone-attenuated urea permeability. In conclusion, aldosterone directly regulates water reabsorption through a non-genomic mechanism. Aldosterone-attenuated water reabsorption may be related to decreased trafficking of AQP2 to the plasma membrane. There may be a sex difference apparent in the inhibitory effect of aldosterone on water reabsorption in the inner medullary collecting duct. This study is the first to show a direct effect of aldosterone to inhibit vasopressin-stimulated osmotic water permeability and urea permeability in perfused rat IMCDs.

Urinary osmotic concentration capacity during renal ontogeny is subject to changes of medullary cytoarchitecture and of segmental epithelial transport characteristics. Osmotic equilibrium between interstitial and tubular fluid of the terminal nephron segment in response to vasopressin is an absolute essential of maximal urinary osmotic concentration. The regulation of osmotic water permeability (Pf) in this terminal epithelial segment during ontogenetic differentiation has not been documented. The inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), the terminal 40% of total segmental length, was dissected at two stages of postnatal ontogenetic differentiation from immature (days 7-15) and from mature (days 33-37) rat kidneys and perfused in vitro. Pf (micron/s) was measured (bath hyperosmotic) in the absence and presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP, 230 pM). Basal Pf was 32.3 +/- 4.03 (n = 26) in the immature IMCD (IMCDi) and 111.5 +/- 20.6 (n = 15) in the mature segment (IMCDm). AVP increased Pf in IMCDi from 46.4 +/- 10.5 to 102 +/- 25.7 micron/s, whereas in IMCDm the AVP-dependent change of Pf was from 104.2 +/- 41.2 to 693 +/- 176 micron/s. AVP (2,300 pM) did not further increase Pf in IMCDi. Forskolin (50 microM) changed Pf in IMCDi from 34.9 +/- 6.3 to 104.1 +/- 16 micron/s; the corresponding change in IMCDm was from 150 +/- 32 to 985.8 +/- 133 micron/s. An analogue of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP; 10(-3) M) increased Pf in IMCDi from 35.5 +/- 11.4 to 138.5 +/- 32.6 and in IMCDm from 79.6 +/- 32.3 to 702.2 +/- 283 micron/s.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Paracellular Pathways

Prolonged fluid restriction in rats is accompanied by functional modifications of the terminal part of the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) revealed by a sustained increase in arginine vasopressin (AVP)-independent transepithelial osmotic water permeability (PTE) in vitro. The cellular basis of this adaptation was explored in isolated and perfused terminal IMCDs of Sprague-Dawley rats using video and fluorescence microscopy. Basolateral membrane osmotic water permeability (Posm), transcellular Posm, and PTE were measured in quick sequence in every tubule. They were expressed per unit area of basolateral membrane corrected for infoldings, based on previous stereological studies and assuming no major change in membrane surface area between hydrated and dehydrated animals. Compared with IMCDs of rats with a high water intake, IMCDs of rats deprived of fluid for 36 h displayed a significantly higher basal PTE (24.9 +/- 5.1 vs. 6.1 +/- 0.6 microns/s), a similar basolateral Posm, and a higher transcellular Posm, implying a higher permeability of the apical membrane, despite the absence of exogenous AVP. However, when IMCDs of thirsted rats were exposed to AVP in vitro, their transcellular Posm (36.0 +/- 2.4 microns/s) was significantly smaller than their PTE determined simultaneously (51.8 +/- 7.1 microns/s), suggesting that part of the water flow may follow a paracellular route. A change in paracellular pathways was supported by higher apparent permeabilities to [14C]sucrose (0.85 +/- 0.27 vs. 0.28 +/- 0.04 x 10(-5) cm/s) and to [methoxy-3H]inulin (0.25 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.14 +/- 0.03 x 10(-5) cm/s) in IMCDs of thirsted rats. The nonelectrolyte permeabilities were affected neither by AVP nor by urea-rich bathing solutions. We conclude that in vivo factors related to dehydration produce a conditioning effect on terminal IMCD, which includes stabilization of the apical membrane in a state of high Posm and opening up of paracellular pathways revealed by a higher permeability to water and nonelectrolytes. The role of these adaptive phenomena remains unclear but may pertain to the sudden transitions between antidiuresis and diuresis.

Hypertonicity increases water permeability, independently of vasopressin, in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) by increasing aquaporin-2 (AQP2) membrane accumulation. We investigated whether protein kinase C (PKC) and adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) are involved in hypertonicity-regulated water permeability. Increasing perfusate osmolality from 150 to 290 mosmol/kgH2O and bath osmolality from 290 to 430 mosmol/kgH2O significantly stimulated osmotic water permeability. The PKC inhibitors chelerythrine (10 µM) and rottlerin (50 µM) significantly reversed the increase in osmotic water permeability stimulated by hypertonicity in perfused rat terminal IMCDs. Chelerythrine significantly increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S261 but not at S256. Previous studies show that AMPK is stimulated by osmotic stress. We tested AMPK phosphorylation under hypertonic conditions. Hypertonicity significantly increased AMPK phosphorylation in inner medullary tissues. Blockade of AMPK with Compound C decreased hypertonicity-stimulated water permeability but did not alter phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256 and S261. AICAR, an AMPK stimulator, caused a transient increase in osmotic water permeability and increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S256. When inner medullary tissue was treated with the PKC activator phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), the AMPK activator metformin, or both, AQP2 phosphorylation at S261 was decreased with PDBu or metformin alone, but there was no additive effect on phosphorylation with PDBu and metformin together. In conclusion, hypertonicity regulates water reabsorption by activating PKC. Hypertonicity-stimulated water reabsorption by PKC may be related to the decrease in endocytosis of AQP2. AMPK activation promotes water reabsorption, but the mechanism remains to be determined. PKC and AMPK do not appear to act synergistically to regulate water reabsorption.

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.

AVP and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) have opposite effects in the kidney. AVP induces antidiuresis by insertion of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels into the plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells. ANP acts as a diuretic factor. An ANP- and nitric oxide (NO)/soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)-induced insertion of AQP2 into the plasma membrane is reported from different models. However, functional data on the insertion of AQP2 is missing. We used primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells and digital holographic microscopy, calcein-quenching measurements, and immunofluorescence and Western blotting to analyze the effects of ANP and NO donors on AQP2 phosphorylation, membrane expression, and water permeability. While AVP led to acceleration in osmotically induced swelling, ANP had no effect. However, in AVP-pretreated cells ANP significantly decreased the kinetics of cell swelling. This effect was mimicked by 8-bromo-cGMP and blunted by PKG inhibition. Stimulation of the NO/sGC pathway or direct activation of sGC with BAY 58-2667 had similar effects to ANP. In cells treated with AVP, AQP2 was predominantly localized in the plasma membrane, and after additional incubation with ANP AQP2 was mostly localized in the cytosol, indicating an increased retrieval of AQP2 from the plasma membrane by ANP. Western blot analysis showed that ANP was able to reduce AVP-induced phosphorylation of AQP2 at position S256. In conclusion, we show that the diuretic action of ANP or NO in the IMCD involves a decreased localization of AQP2 in the plasma membrane which is mediated by cGMP and PKG.

Characteristics of sodium transport in the inner medullary collecting duct were determined in anesthetized rats before and during intravenous infusion of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (atriopeptin II). Infusion of the factor was associated with increased sodium delivery and reduced fractional reabsorption in the duct. Increasing delivery to the same extent by KCl infusion had no effect on fractional reabsorption. The results demonstrate that atrial natriuretic factor has a specific inhibitory effect on net sodium transport in this part of the nephron. The mechanism of this inhibition may involve induction of sodium permeability and consequent backflux into the tubular lumen.

Endothelin causes diuresis despite an accompanying decrease in glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow. Binding sites for endothelin are located not only in glomeruli but also in the inner medulla, possibly in inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD). To determine whether endothelin has a direct tubular effect, effects of endothelin on water and urea transport were investigated using isolated microperfusion of rat IMCD segments in vitro. Endothelin, at 10(-10) and 10(-8) M, reversibly inhibited 10(-11) M arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated osmotic water permeability (Pf) by 18 and 24%, respectively. Endothelin (10(-8) M) also inhibited Pf by 23% in the presence of a much higher dose of AVP (10(-9) M), whereas endothelin had no effect on Pf in the absence of AVP. On the other hand, 10(-8) M endothelin did not inhibit Pf stimulated by 10(-3) M dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Endothelin had no inhibitory effect on AVP-stimulated urea permeability. These data suggest that endothelin can cause diuresis by inhibiting AVP-stimulated Pf in IMCD and that the site of action is previous to cAMP generation.

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone that increases renal NaCl and water excretion. Several renal sites of ANF action have been identified, but general agreement has not been reached concerning the quantitative contribution of each action to the natriuresis and diuresis. Using a five-nephron central core model of NaCl, urea, KCl, and water transport in the rat kidney, we have quantitatively evaluated the hypothetical effects on whole kidney function of three experimentally observed ANF actions: 1) inhibition of active NaCl absorption in the collecting duct, 2) inhibition of osmotic water permeability in the collecting duct, and 3) increased NaCl and water delivery out of the proximal convoluted tubule simulating an increase in glomerular filtration rate. The simulations show that inhibition of collecting duct active NaCl absorption by greater than or equal to 50% can increase NaCl and water excretion to levels that match experimental values. In addition, the model predicted that the urinary sodium concentration will increase to greater than plasma levels as observed experimentally. Simulated decreases in collecting duct water permeability predicted an increase in water excretion with little change in NaCl excretion. Simulated 2.5–5% increases in glomerular filtration rate also increased simulated NaCl and water excretion rates to experimentally observed levels in response to ANF. However, this action was less effective than inhibition of collecting duct active NaCl absorption in increasing the urinary NaCl concentration. We conclude that a combination of several actions are likely to account for the overall renal effect of ANF.
