We used a cultured murine cell model of the inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD-3 cells) to examine the regulation of the ubiquitous sodium-proton exchanger, Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1), by a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor, the bradykinin B2 receptor. Bradykinin rapidly activates NHE-1 in a concentration-dependent manner as assessed by proton microphysiometry of quiescent cells and by 2'-7'-bis[2-carboxymethyl]-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein fluorescence measuring the accelerated rate of pH(i) recovery from an imposed acid load. The activation of NHE-1 is blocked by inhibitors of the bradykinin B2 receptor, phospholipase C, Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM), and Janus kinase 2 (Jak2), but not by pertussis toxin or by inhibitors of protein kinase C and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that bradykinin stimulates the assembly of a signal transduction complex that includes CaM, Jak2, and NHE-1. CaM appears to be a direct substrate for phosphorylation by Jak2 as measured by an in vitro kinase assay. We propose that Jak2 is a new indirect regulator of NHE-1 activity, which modulates the activity of NHE-1 by increasing the tyrosine phosphorylation of CaM and most likely by increasing the binding of CaM to NHE-1.

1. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a well- differentiated renal epithelial cell line derived from distal tubule/collecting duct, respond to extracellular nucleotides by altering ion flux and the production of arachidonic acid-derived products, in particular prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Our work has defined the receptors and signalling events involved in such responses. 2. We have found evidence for expression of at least three P2Y receptor subtypes (P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y11) in MDCK-D1 cells, a subclone from parental MDCK. 3. These receptors appear to couple to increases in calcium and protein kinase C activity, probably via a Gq/G11-mediated activation of phospholipase C. 4. In addition, P2Y receptor activation can promote a prominent increase in cAMP. This includes both a P2Y2 receptor-mediated cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-dependent component and another COX-independent component mediated by other P2Y receptors. 5. We have documented that changing media in which cells are grown releases ATP and, in turn, activates P2Y receptors. Such release of ATP contributes in a major way to basal cAMP levels in these cells. 6. The data indicate that MDCK cells are a useful model to define the regulation of epithelial cells by extracellular nucleotides. Of particular note, spontaneous or stretch-induced release of ATP and subsequent activation of one or more P2Y receptors contributes to establishing the basal activity of signalling pathways.

Bradykinin (BK) has been implicated in the regulation of renal function. Activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) has been demonstrated in several models of toxic or proliferative renal injury. We studied activation of ERK1/2 by BK in a cell model of the most distal part of the nephron, inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD-3) cells. Exposure of mIMCD-3 cells to BK (10(-10)-10(-5) M) resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK1/2, with maximal effect at 10(-8) M BK. ERK1/2 activation by BK was observed as early as 1 min, peaked at 5 min, and was sustained at least for 1 h. The effect of BK was mediated by the B(2) receptor and was pertussis toxin-independent. Inhibition of phospholipase C, protein kinase C, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase did not alter ERK1/2 activation by BK. BK-induced ERK1/2 activation was Ca(2+)-calmodulin-independent but was sensitive to genistein, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase(s). AG1478, a specific inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase, completely blocked the effect of BK, suggesting an essential role of EGFR in ERK1/2 activation by BK. Immunoprecipitation/Western blot studies revealed that BK stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR, its association with an adapter molecule Grb2, and complex formation between Grb2 and the adapter protein Shc. Activation studies of monomeric G protein Ras showed that BK-induced stimulation of Ras was dependent on EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. These studies demonstrate that BK stimulates Ras-dependent activation of ERK1/2 in mIMCD-3 cells via transactivation of EGFR through a novel mechanism.

The sodium/proton exchanger type 1 (NHE-1) plays an important role in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). We have examined the regulation of NHE-1 by two potent mitogens, serotonin (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine) and angiotensin II (Ang II), in cultured VSMC derived from rat aorta. 5-HT and Ang II rapidly activated NHE-1 via their G protein-coupled receptors (5-HT(2A) and AT(1)) as assessed by proton microphysiometry of quiescent cells and by measurements of intracellular pH on a FLIPR (fluorometric imaging plate reader). Activation of NHE-1 was blocked by inhibitors of phospholipase C, CaM, and Jak2 but not by pertussis toxin or inhibitors of protein kinase C. Immunoprecipitation/immunoblot studies showed that 5-HT and Ang II induce phosphorylation of Jak2 and induce the formation of signal transduction complexes that included Jak2, CaM, and NHE-1. The cell-permeable Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM blocked activation of Jak2, complex formation between Jak2 and CaM, and tyrosine phosphorylation of CaM, demonstrating that elevated intracellular Ca(2+) is essential for those events. Thus, mitogen-induced activation of NHE-1 in VSMC is dependent upon elevated intracellular Ca(2+) and is mediated by the Jak2-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of CaM and subsequent increased binding of CaM to NHE-1, similar to the pathway previously described for the bradykinin B(2) receptor in inner medullary collecting duct cells of the kidney [Mukhin, Y. V., et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 17339-17346]. We propose that this pathway represents a fundamental mechanism for the rapid regulation of NHE-1 by G(q/11) protein-coupled receptors in multiple cell types.

Kidney tubules are targets for the activation of locally released nucleotides through multiple P2 receptor types. Activation of these P2 receptors modulates cellular Ca(2+) signaling and downstream cellular function. The purpose of this study was to determine whether P2 receptors were present in mIMCD-3 cells, a mouse inner medullary collecting duct cell line, and if so, to examine their link with intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. To monitor intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), experiments were conducted using the fluorescent dye fura 2. ATP (0.1-100 microM) produced a dose-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in a physiological Ca(2+)-containing solution, with an EC(50) of 2.5 microM. The P2-receptor antagonist PPADS reduced the effect of ATP on [Ca(2+)](i), and the P1-receptor agonist adenosine caused only a small increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Preincubation of cells with the phospholipase C antagonist U-73122 blocked the ATP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i), indicating P2Y receptors were involved in this process. In a Ca(2+)-free bath solution, thapsigargin and ATP induced intracellular Ca(2+) release from an identical pool. Nucleotides caused an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in the potency order of UTP = ATP > ATP gamma S > ADP > UDP that is best fitted with the P2Y(2) subtype profile. Although the P2Y agonist UTP induced a similar large transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i) as did ATP, a small but sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) occurred only in ATP-stimulated cells, suggesting the role of P2X receptors in Ca(2+) influx. The sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) could be blocked by either nonselective cation channel blockers Gd(3+) or P2X antagonists PPADS and PPNDS. Furthermore, when either Gd(3+) or PPNDS was applied to the bath solution before ATP application, the ATP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was significantly reduced. Both RT-PCR and Western blotting corroborated the presence of P2X(1) and P2Y(2) receptors. These studies demonstrate that mIMCD-3 cells have both P2X and P2Y subtype receptors and that the activation of both P2X and P2Y receptors by extracellular ATP appears to be required to regulate intracellular Ca(2+) signaling.

Regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization has been associated with the functions of polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), the protein products of the PKD1 and PKD2 genes. We have now demonstrated that PC1 can activate the calcineurin/NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) signaling pathway through Galpha(q) -mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC). Transient transfection of HEK293T cells with an NFAT promoter-luciferase reporter demonstrated that membrane-targeted PC1 constructs containing the membrane proximal region of the C-terminal tail, which includes the heterotrimeric G protein binding and activation domain, can stimulate NFAT luciferase activity. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta by LiCl treatment further increased PC1-mediated NFAT activity. PC1-mediated activation of NFAT was completely inhibited by the calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporin A. Cotransfection of a construct expressing the Galpha(q) subunit augmented PC1-mediated NFAT activity, whereas the inhibitors of PLC (U73122) and the inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors (xestospongin and 2-aminophenylborate) and a nonspecific Ca(2+) channel blocker (gadolinium) diminished PC1-mediated NFAT activity. PC2 was not able to activate NFAT. An NFAT-green fluorescent protein nuclear localization assay demonstrated that PC1 constructs containing the C-tail only or the entire 11-transmembrane spanning region plus C-tail induced NFAT-green fluorescent protein nuclear translocation. NFAT expression was demonstrated in the M-1 mouse cortical collecting duct cell line and in embryonic and adult mouse kidneys by reverse transcriptase-PCR and immunolocalization. These data suggest a model in which PC1 signaling leads to a sustained elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) mediated by PC1 activation of Galpha(q) followed by PLC activation, release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores, and activation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry, thus activating calcineurin and NFAT.

We used Western blotting to examine the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in the renal cortex and outer medulla and employed the patch-clamp technique to study the effect of PI3K on the ROMK-like small-conductance K (SK) channels in the cortical collecting duct (CCD). Low K intake increased the expression of the 110-kDa alpha-subunit (p110alpha) of PI3K compared with rats on a normal-K diet. Because low K intake increases superoxide levels (2), the possibility that increases in superoxide anions may be responsible for the effect of low K intake on the expression of PI3K is supported by finding that addition of H(2)O(2) stimulates the expression of p110alpha in M1 cells. Inhibition of PI3K with either wortmannin or LY-294002 significantly increased channel activity in the CCD from rats on a K-deficient (KD) diet or on a normal-K diet. The stimulatory effect of wortmannin on ROMK channel activity cannot be mimicked by inhibition of phospholipase C with U-73122. This suggests that the effect of inhibiting PI3K was not the result of increasing the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate level. Moreover, application of the exogenous phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate analog had no effect on channel activity in excised patches. Because low K intake has been shown to increase the activity of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), we explored the role of the interaction between PTK and PI3K in the regulation of the SK channel activity. Inhibition of PTK increased SK channel activity in the CCD from rats on a KD diet. However, addition of wortmannin did not further increase ROMK channel activity. Also, the effect of wortmannin was abolished by treatment of CCD with phalloidin. We conclude that PI3K is involved in mediating the effect of low K intake on ROMK channel activity in the CCD and that the effect of PI3K on SK channels requires the involvement of PTK and the cytoskeleton.

We have previously shown that stimulation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) by bradykinin (BK) in murine inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD)-3 cells is mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation. The mechanism of EGFR transactivation seemed to be novel, because it does not require phospholipase C, Ca(2+), calmodulin, protein kinase C, G alpha(i) subunits, or EGFR-B(2) receptor heterodimerization. In this study, we demonstrated the involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in B(2) receptor-induced EGFR transactivation using their broad-spectrum inhibitors batimastat and N-[(2R)-2-(hydroxamidocarbonylmethyl)-4-methylpentanoyl]-l-tryptophan methylamide (Galardin) (GM-6001). Selective inhibitors for collagenase-2 and -3 (MMP-8 and MMP-13, respectively) blocked BK-induced EGFR phosphorylation and ERK activation, whereas inhibitors for MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, or -9 were without effect. Transfection of mIMCD-3 cells with MMP-8 small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in approximately 50% decrease of BK-induced ERK activation. A neutralizing antibody against MMP-13 as well as transfection with MMP-13 siRNA produced a similar effect. Inhibition of both collagenases resulted in approximately 65% decrease of BK-induced ERK activation, supporting roles for both enzymes. Stimulation of mIMCD-3 cells with 10 nM BK increased the activity of collagenases in concentrated culture media within 10 min. Moreover, recombinant MMP-13 and MMP-8, when applied to mIMCD-3 cells for 10 min without BK, stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR and caused approximately 250% increase over basal ERK phosphorylation comparable with BK-induced ERK activation. Collagenases-induced ERK activation was inhibited by 4-(3-chloroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (AG-1478) and thus dependent on EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. This study demonstrates a novel role for collagenase-2 and -3 in signaling of the G(q)-coupled BK B(2) receptor in mIMCD-3 cells.

Vasopressin, a hypothalamic hormone, acts on its target tissues via three different G protein coupled receptors. The vasopressin V1a and V1b receptors, associated to Gq protein and phospholipase C, are responsible for vasoconstriction and regulation of the corticotroph axis respectively. The V2 vasopressin receptor is coupled to Gs protein and adenylyl cyclase and is responsible for water reabsorption in the renal collecting duct. Mutations of the V2 receptor are involved in diabetes insipidus and most of these mutations result in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of the mutated receptor. With the V1b receptor model, we have identified a proximal sequence of the C-terminal segment, which is crucial for ER export. Mutations in this short domain result in ER accumulation and degradation of the receptor. SSR 149415, a nonpeptide antagonist of V1bR, which is permeable to cell membrane, is able to rescue the mutant phenotype and acts as a pharmacological chaperone.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IV facilitates HCO(3) reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule by catalyzing the reversible hydration of CO(2). CAIV is tethered to cell membranes via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchor. As there is basolateral as well as apical CAIV staining in proximal tubule, the molecular identity of basolateral CAIV was examined. Biotinylation of confluent monolayers of rat inner medullary collecting duct cells stably transfected with rabbit CAIV showed apical and basolateral CAIV, and in the cell transfectants expressing high levels of CAIV, a transmembrane form was targeted to the basolateral membrane. Basolateral expression of CAIV ( approximately 46 kDa) was confirmed in normal kidney tissue by Western blotting of vesicle fractions enriched for basolateral membranes by Percoll density fractionation. We examined the mode of membrane linkage of basolaterally expressed CAIV in the kidney cortex. CAIV detected in basolateral or apical membrane vesicles exhibited similar molecular size by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following deglycosylation, and was equally sensitive to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C digestion, indicating that CAIV is expressed on the basolateral membrane as a GPI-anchored protein. Half of the hydratase activity of basolateral vesicles was resistant to SDS denaturation, compatible with being CAIV. Thus, GPI-anchored CAIV resides in the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule epithelia where it may facilitate HCO(3) reabsorption via association with kNBC1.
