ABSTRACT. Extracellular nucleotides regulate renal transport. A luminal P2Y2 receptor in mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD) principal cells has been demonstrated elsewhere. Herein the effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP) on electrogenic Na+ absorption in perfused CCD of mice kept on a low-NaCl diet were investigated. Simultaneously, transepithelial voltage (Vte), transepithelial resistance (Rte), and fura-2 [Ca2+]i fluorescence were measured. Baseline parameters were Vte, −16.5 ± 1.2 mV; Rte, 80.8 ± 7.1 Ω cm2; and equivalent short-circuit current (Isc), −261.0 ± 25.1 μA/cm2 (n = 45). Amiloride (10 μM) almost completely inhibited Isc to −3.9 ± 3.8 μA/cm2 (n = 10). Luminal ATP (100 μM) reduced Vte from −16.5 ± 2.1 to −12.5 ± 1.93 and increased Rte from 113.1 ± 16.2 to 123.8 ± 16.7 Ω cm2, which resulted in a 31.7% inhibition of amiloride-sensitive Isc (n = 12). Similarly, luminal UTP reversibly reduced Vte from −22.0 ± 2.1 to −13.6 ± 2.1 mV and increased Rte from 48.4 ± 5.3 to 59.2 ± 7.1 Ω cm2, which resulted in 49.1% inhibition of Na+ absorption (n = 6). In parallel, luminal ATP and UTP elevated [Ca2+]i in CCD, increasing the fura-2 ratio by 2.7 ± 0.7 and 4.0 ± 1.2, respectively. Basolateral ATP and UTP (100 μM) also inhibited amiloride-sensitive Isc by 21.8 (n = 14) and 20.1% (n = 8), respectively. Inhibition of luminal nucleotide-induced [Ca2+]i increase by Ca2+ store depletion with cyclopiazonic acid (3 μM) did not affect nucleotide-mediated inhibition of Na+ transport (n = 7). No evidence indicated the activation of a luminal Ca2+-activated Cl− conductance, a phenomenon previously shown in M-1 CCD cells (J Physiol 524: 77–99, 2000). In essence, these data indicate that luminal ATP and UTP, most likely via P2Y2 receptors, mediate inhibition of amiloride-sensitive Isc in perfused mouse CCD. This inhibition appears to occurs independently of an increase of cytosolic Ca2+.

Activation of PRR ([pro]renin receptor) contributes to enhancement of intrarenal RAS and renal medullary α-ENaC and thus elevated blood pressure during Ang II (angiotensin II) infusion. The goal of the present study was to test whether such action of PRR was mediated by sPRR (soluble PRR), generated by S1P (site-1 protease), a newly identified PRR cleavage protease. F1 B6129SF1/J mice were infused for 6 days with control or Ang II at 300 ng/kg per day alone or in combination with S1P inhibitor PF-429242 (PF), and blood pressure was monitored by radiotelemetry. S1P inhibition significantly attenuated Ang II–induced hypertension accompanied with suppressed urinary and renal medullary renin levels and expression of renal medullary but not renal cortical α-ENaC expression. The effects of S1P inhibition were all reversed by supplement with histidine-tagged sPRR termed as sPRR-His. Ussing chamber technique was performed to determine amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current, an index of ENaC activity in confluent mouse cortical collecting duct cell line cells exposed for 24 hours to Ang II, Ang II + PF, or Ang II + PF + sPRR-His. Ang II–induced ENaC activity was blocked by PF, which was reversed by sPRR-His. Together, these results support that S1P-derived sPRR mediates Ang II–induced hypertension through enhancement of intrarenal renin level and activation of ENaC.

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.

Extracellular nucleotides regulate NaCl transport in some epithelia. However, the effects of nucleotide agonists on NaCl transport in the renal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) are not known. The objective of this study was to determine whether ATP and related nucleotides regulate NaCl transport across mouse IMCD cell line (mIMCD-K2) epithelial monolayers and, if so, via what purinergic receptor subtypes. ATP and UTP inhibited Na+ absorption [measured via Na+ short-circuit current[Formula: see text])] and stimulated Cl− secretion [measured via Cl−short-circuit current ([Formula: see text])]. Using selective P2 agonists, we report that P2X and P2Y purinoceptors regulate [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text]. By RT-PCR, two P2X receptor channels (P2X3, P2X4) and two P2Y G protein-coupled receptors (P2Y1, P2Y2) were identified. Functional localization of P2 purinoceptors suggest that [Formula: see text] is stimulated by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels, whereas[Formula: see text] is inhibited by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels. Together, we conclude that nucleotide agonists inhibit[Formula: see text] across mIMCD-K2 monolayers through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane, whereas extracellular nucleotides stimulate [Formula: see text]through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane.

The role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in the renal cortical collecting duct (CCD) has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated the effects of deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) and isoproterenol (ISO) on NaCl transport in primary cultured CCDs microdissected from normal [CFTR(+/+)] and CFTR-knockout [CFTR(−/−)] mice. dDAVP stimulated the benzamyl amiloride (BAm)-sensitive transport of Na+ assessed by the short-circuit current ( I sc) method in both CFTR(+/+) and CFTR(−/−) CCDs to a very similar degree. Apical addition of 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB) or glibenclamide partially inhibited the rise in I sc induced by dDAVP and ISO in BAm-treated CFTR(+/+) CCDs, whereas dDAVP, ISO, and NPPB did not alter I sc in BAm-treated CFTR(−/−) CCDs. dDAVP stimulated the apical-to-basal flux and, to a lesser extent, the basal-to-apical flux of 36Cl− in CFTR(+/+) CCDs. dDAVP also increased the apical-to-basal36Cl− flux in CFTR(−/−) CCDs but not the basal-to-apical 36Cl− flux. These results demonstrate that CFTR mediates the cAMP-stimulated component of secreted Cl− in mouse CCD.

Immunodissected rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells were grown in primary culture on permeable membrane supports. Transepithelial voltage, Na+, K+, and H+ gradients developed as expected for a mixed population of principal and intercalated cells. The amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current (Isc) was measured in Ussing chambers as an index of Na+ transport via apical membrane Na+ channels. Treatment of the cells in culture with 10 nM aldosterone for 48 h increased Isc from 7.4 +/- 1.4 to 19.3 +/- 3.2 microA/cm2. In contrast to the native rabbit CCD, 220 pM arginine vasopressin (AVP) produced a rapid and stable (greater than 60 min) increase in Isc to 15.8 +/- 2.0 and 29.0 +/- 3.8 microA/cm2 in untreated and aldosterone-treated cultures, respectively. Although prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibits Na+ transport in the native rabbit CCD, it did not in the cultured cells, and it has previously been shown that PGE2 inhibition of AVP-dependent adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate production is lost in culture (W. K. Sonnenburg and W. L. Smith, J. Biol. Chem. 263: 6155-6160, 1988). We conclude that the development of a stable stimulation of Na+ transport by AVP is linked to the loss of the inhibitory effects of PGE2.

There is good evidence for a causal link between excessive sympathetic drive to the kidney and hypertension. We hypothesized that sympathetic regulation of tubular Na+ absorption may occur in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron, where the fine tuning of renal Na+ excretion takes place. Here, the appropriate regulation of transepithelial Na+ transport, mediated by the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), is critical for blood pressure control. To explore a possible effect of the sympathetic transmitter norepinephrine on ENaC-mediated Na+ transport, we performed short-circuit current ( Isc) measurements on confluent mCCDcl1 murine cortical collecting duct cells. Norepinephrine caused a complex Isc response with a sustained increase of amiloride-sensitive Isc by ∼44%. This effect was concentration dependent and mediated via basolateral α2-adrenoceptors. In cells pretreated with aldosterone, the stimulatory effect of norepinephrine was reduced. Finally, we demonstrated that noradrenergic nerve fibers are present in close proximity to ENaC-expressing cells in murine kidney slices. We conclude that the sustained stimulatory effect of locally elevated norepinephrine on ENaC-mediated Na + absorption may contribute to the hypertensive effect of increased renal sympathetic activity.

Abstract The revolution of the omics technologies has enabled profiling of the molecules of any sample. However, the heterogeneity of the kidney with highly specialized nephron segments like the cortical collecting duct (CCD) poses a challenge regarding integration of omics data and functional analysis. We examined function and proteome from the same single CCDs of C57Bl6 mice by investigating them in a double-barreled perfusion system before targeted mass spectrometry. Transepithelial voltage (Vte), transepithelial resistance, as well as amiloride-sensitive voltage (ΔVteamil) were recorded. CCDs were of 400–600 µm of length, showed lumen negative Vte between −8.5 and −32.5 mV and an equivalent short circuit current I’sc between 54 and 192 µA/cm2. On a single-tubule proteome level, intercalated cell (IC) markers strongly correlated with other intercalated cell markers and negatively with principal cell markers. Integration of proteome data with phenotype data revealed that tubular length correlated with actin and Na+-K+-ATPase expression. ΔVte(amil) reflected the expression level of the β-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel. Intriguingly, ΔVte(amil) correlated inversely with the water channel AQP2 and the negative regulator protein NEDD4L (NEDD4-2). In pendrin knockout (KO) mice, the CCD proteome was accompanied by strong downregulation of other IC markers like CLCNKB, BSND (Barttin), and VAA (vH+-ATPase), a configuration that may contribute to the salt-losing phenotype of Pendred syndrome. Proteins normally coexpressed with pendrin were decreased in pendrin KO CCDs. In conclusion, we show that functional proteomics on a single nephron segment scale allows function–proteome correlations, and may potentially help predicting function from omics data.

Acute hormonal regulation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in tight epithelia increases transcellular Na+ transport via trafficking of intracellular channels to the apical surface. The fate of the channels removed from the apical surface following agonist washout is less clear. By repetitively stimulating polarized mouse cortical collecting duct (mCCD, MPKCCD14) epithelia, we evaluated the hypothesis that ENaC recycles through an intracellular pool to be available for reinsertion into the apical membrane. Short circuit current (ISC), membrane capacitance (CT), and conductance (GT) were recorded from mCCD epithelia mounted in modified Ussing chambers. Surface biotinylation of ENaC demonstrated an increase in channel number in the apical membrane following cAMP stimulation. This increase was accompanied by a 83 ± 6% (n = 31) increase in ISC and a 15.3 ± 1.5% (n = 15) increase in CT. Selective membrane permeabilization demonstrated that the CT increase was due to an increase in apical membrane capacitance. ISC and CT declined to basal levels on stimulus washout. Repetitive cAMP stimulation and washout (∼1 h each cycle) resulted in response fatigue; ΔISC decreased ∼10% per stimulation–recovery cycle. When channel production was blocked by cycloheximide, ΔISC decreased ∼15% per stimulation cycle, indicating that newly synthesized ENaC contributed a relatively small fraction of the channels mobilized to the apical membrane. Selective block of surface ENaC by benzamil demonstrated that channels inserted from a subapical pool made up >90% of the stimulated ISC, and that on restimulation a large proportion of channels retrieved from the apical surface were reinserted into the apical membrane. Channel recycling was disrupted by brefeldin A, which inhibited ENaC exocytosis, by chloroquine, which inhibited ENaC endocytosis and recycling, and by latrunculin A, which blocked ENaC exocytosis. A compartment model featuring channel populations in the apical membrane and intracellular recycling pool provided an adequate kinetic description of the ISC responses to repetitive stimulation. The model supports the concept of ENaC recycling in response to repetitive cAMP stimulation.

Abstract. This study examines whether serine proteases can activate the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (ENaC) in mammalian kidney epithelial cells. The transepithelial sodium transport assessed by amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current appears to be sensitive to aprotinin, a protease inhibitor in a mouse cortical collecting duct cell line (mpkCCDc14). This result indicated that serine proteases may be implicated in the regulation of ENaC-mediated sodium transport. Using degenerated oligonucleotides to a previously isolated serine protease from Xenopus, xCAP1 (channel activating protease), a novel full-length serine protease (mCAP1), has been isolated and characterized. RNA analysis showed a broad pattern of expression in tissues (kidney, lung, colon, and salivary glands) expressing ENaC. Reverse transcription-PCR experiments also showed that mCAP1 was abundantly expressed in proximal tubule cells and was also expressed in intact and cultured collecting duct cells. Coexpression of the Xenopus, rat, or human α-, β-, and γ-ENaC subunits in Xenopus oocytes also showed that mCAP1 induces a significant increase in ENaC-mediated current accompanied by a decrease of channel molecules at the cell surface. It is proposed that this novel mouse channel activating protease may act as a regulator of ENaC within the kidney.

The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) is a key transporter participating in the fine tuning of Na+ reabsorption in the nephron. ENaC activity is acutely upregulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). It was also proposed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a stimulatory effect on ENaC. Here we studied whether effects of EGF, insulin, and IGF-1 correlate with ROS production in the mouse cortical collecting duct (mpkCCDc14) cells. Western blotting confirmed the expression of the NADPH oxidase complex subunits in these cells. Treatment of mpkCCDc14 cells with EGF, insulin, or IGF-1 evoked an increase in ROS production as measured by CM-H2DCF-DA fluorescence. ROS production caused by a xanthine-xanthine oxidase reaction also resulted in a significant elevation in short-circuit current through the mpkCCDc14 monolayer. Transepithelial current measurements showed an acute increase of amiloride-sensitive current through the mpkCCDc14 monolayer in response to EGF, insulin, or IGF-1. Pretreatment with the nonselective NADPH oxidase activity inhibitor apocynin blunted both ROS production and increase in ENaC-mediated current in response to these drugs. To further test whether NADPH oxidase subunits are involved in the effect of EGF, we used a stable M-1 cell line with a knockdown of Rac1, which is one of the key subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex, and measured amiloride-sensitive currents in response to EGF. In contrast to control cells, EGF had no effect in Rac1 knockdown cells. We hypothesize that EGF, insulin, and IGF-1 have a common stimulatory effect on ENaC mediated by ROS production.
