The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that in vivo administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) provokes diuresis/natriuresis through redistribution of proximal tubule apical sodium cotransporters (NHE3 and NaPi2) to internal stores and inhibition of basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity and to determine whether the same cellular signals drive the changes in apical and basolateral transporters. PTH-(1-34) (20 U), which couples to adenylate cyclase (AC), phospholipase C (PLC), and phospholipase A2 (PLA2), or [Nle8,18,Tyr34]PTH-(3-34) (10 U), which couples to PLC and PLA2 but not AC, were given to anesthetized rats as an intravenous bolus followed by low-dose infusion (1 U. kg-1. min-1 for 1 h). Renal cortex membranes were fractionated on sorbitol density gradients. PTH-(1-34) increased urinary cAMP excretion 3-fold, urine output (V) 2.0 +/- 0.1-fold, and lithium clearance (CLi) 2.8 +/- 0.3-fold. With this diuresis/natriuresis, 25% of NHE3 and 18% of NaPi2 immunoreactivity redistributed from apical membranes to higher density fractions containing intracellular membrane markers, and basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity decreased 25%. [Nle8,18,Tyr34]PTH-(3-34) failed to increase V or CLi or to provoke redistribution of NHE3 or NaPi2, but it did inhibit Na-K-ATPase activity 25%. We conclude that in vivo PTH stimulates natriuresis/diuresis associated with internalization of apical NHE3 and NaPi2 and inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity, that cAMP-protein kinase A stimulation is necessary for the natriuresis/diuresis and NHE3 and NaPi2 internalization, and that Na-K-ATPase inhibition is not secondary to depressed apical Na+ transport.

Studies in several cell types indicate that the actions of integrin receptors for extracellular matrix and receptors for growth factors are synergistic in regulating cellular differentiation and function. We studied the roles of the alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1 integrin collagen receptors in regulating the differentiation of 2T3 osteoblastic cells in response to bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2. The immortalized 2T3 cell line was established from the calvaria of mice transgenic for a BMP-2 promoter driving SV40 T-antigen. These cells require exogenous BMP-2, as well as ascorbic acid and beta-glycerolphosphate, for expression of a mature osteoblast phenotype and formation of a mineralized matrix. To determine how integrin receptors for collagen-I affect BMP-2 signaling, function-perturbing anti-rat alpha1 and/or alpha2 integrin subunit, or anti-type I collagen (Col-I), antibodies were added to human recombinant (hr)BMP-2-treated 2T3 cultures at confluence (C0) or at 4 or 8 days postconfluence (C4, C8). After 4 days of exposure to the antibodies, cultures were assayed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) mRNA levels and enzyme activity and for cAMP production in response to parathyroid hormone. Addition of anti-collagen-I or both anti-integrin-alpha1 and -alpha2 antibodies to C0 cultures blocked expression of these early osteoblast markers by more than 90%, and also blocked mineralization (0.5-1.8% control) of these cells. In all cases, adding anti-alpha1 or anti-alpha2 antibodies separately produced partial effects, while their combined effect approached that of anti-collagen-I. When antibodies were added to more differentiated 2T3 cells, the inhibitory effects decreased. 2T3 cells carrying constitutively active BMP receptor (caBMPR-IB) showed elevated ALP activity without hrBMP-2; this constitutive activity was also suppressed by alpha1 and alpha2 integrin antibodies and by anti-Col-I antibody. Together, our data suggest that a signal(s) from collagen integrin receptors regulates the response to BMP downstream of BMPR-IB and upstream of the regulation of ALP mRNA and other early markers of osteoblast differentiation.

To investigate the regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion by phosphatases we examined the effect of okadaic acid, a selective inhibitor of protein phosphatases (PP)-1 and -2A, on isolated, dispersed parathyroid cells. Okadaic acid inhibited secretion from intact bovine, intact human and streptolysin-O permeabilized bovine cells. Approximately 10(-6) M okadaic acid resulted in a 50% decrease in parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion from both intact and permeabilized cells, consistent with PP-1 being the target of inhibition. Upon subcellular fractionation, PP-1 overlapped but was not identical to either PTH, a marker of the secretory granule, or Na+/K+-ATPase, a plasma membrane marker. In summary, PP-1 activity is involved in Ca2+-dependent but not basal PTH secretion.

A wealth of studies performed with a spectrum of methods spanning simple clearance studies to the molecular identification of ion transporters has increased our understanding of how approximately 1.7 kg of NaCl and 180 L of H2O are absorbed by renal tubules in man and how the urinary excretion is fine-tuned to meet homeostatic requirements. This review will summarize our current understanding. In the proximal nephron, approximately 60 to 70% of the filtered Na+ and H2O is absorbed together with approximately 90% of the filtered HCO3-. The exact quantities are determined by many regulatory factors, such as glomerulotubular balance, angiotensin II, endothelin, sympathetic innervation, parathyroid hormone, dopamine, acid base status and others. The essential components of absorption are luminal membrane Na+/H+ exchange and the basolateral (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. In the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, 20 to 30% of the filtered NaCl is absorbed via Na+2Cl-K+ cotransport driven by the basolateral (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. No H2O is absorbed at this nephron site. The transport rate is determined by the Na+ load and by several hormones and neurotransmitters, including prostaglandins, parathyroid hormone, glucagon, calcitonin, arginine vasopressin (AVP), and adrenaline. In the distal tubule, some 5 to 10% of the filtered load is absorbed via Na+Cl- cotransport in the luminal membrane driven by the basolateral (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The rate of transport is again determined by the delivered load and by several hormones and neurotransmitters. One of the tasks of the collecting duct is to control the absorption of approximately 10 to 15% of the filtered H2O, regulated by AVP, and just a few percent of the filtered Na+, controlled by aldosterone and natriuretic hormone. The water absorption proceeds through the luminal membrane via aquaporin 2 and through the basolateral membrane via aquaporin 3 channels and is driven by the osmotic gradient built up by the counter current concentrating system. The Na+ absorption occurs via Na+ channels present in the luminal membrane driven by the basolateral (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. With no pharmacological interference, urinary excretion of Na+ can vary between less than 0.1% and no more than 3% of the filtered load, and that of H2O can vary between 0.3 and 15%.

Recent studies indicate that arachidonic acid is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes of the 4A and 2C families in the kidney to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids. These compounds play central roles in the regulation of renal tubular and vascular function. 20-HETE is produced by renal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells and is a potent constrictor that depolarizes VSM cells by blocking the calcium-activated potassium channel. Inhibition of the formation of 20-HETE blocks the myogenic response of isolated renal arterioles in vitro, and autoregulation of renal blood flow and tubuloglomerular feedback responses in vivo. EETs are products formed in the endothelium and are potent dilators that activate the calcium-activated potassium channel in renal VSM. Endothelial-dependent vasodilators stimulate the release of EETs, and these compounds appear to serve as an endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor. EETs and 20-HETE are produced in the proximal tubule. There, they regulate sodium/potassium-ATPase activity and serve as second messengers for the natriuretic effects of dopamine, parathyroid hormone and angiotensin II. 20-HETE is also produced in the thick ascending loop of Henle. It regulates sodium-potassium-chloride transport in this nephron segment. The renal production of cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid is altered in hypertension, diabetes, toxemia of pregnancy, and hepatorenal syndrome. Given the importance of cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid in the control of renal function, it is likely that changes in this system contribute to the abnormalities in renal function that are associated with many of these conditions.

The mechanisms of central nervous system dysfunction in uremia are multifactorial and only partially characterized. Studies using sealed presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) for in vitro ion transport and metabolism of neurotransmitter in chronic renal failure (CRF) neuronal cell culture and in vivo brain structure microdialysis generated significant new information. An increase in total calcium content of the cerebral cortex accompanied by increased levels of cytosolic calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) in synaptosomes are common findings in rats with CRF. Mechanisms leading to the increase in [Ca(2+)]i include increased calcium uptake mediated by parathyroid hormone and decreased activity of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and Ca(2+)-ATPase of synaptosomes in CRF rats. Moreover, these synaptosomes respond inappropriately to depolarization, which can impair neurotransmitter metabolism. Brain gamma-aminobutyric acid content, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine release uptake and degradation are affected by uremia. These may lead to certain somatic, behavioral, and motor dysfunctions in uremia. Many derangements of the central nervous system in uremia appear to be mediated by secondary hyperparathyroidism of CRF because parathyroidectomy of animals with CRF prevented the increase in basal levels of [Ca(2+)]i and derangements in neurotransmitter metabolism. The role of other neurotoxins, such as guanidinosuccinic acid, are also reviewed.

The final step in the maternal-fetal transfer of calcium in the placenta involves transport against a concentration gradient across the syncytiotrophoblast basal plasma membrane (BM). Based on animal studies, it has been proposed that parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) plays a major role in maintaining the maternal-fetal concentration gradient of calcium. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a highly conserved mid-region fragment (38-94) of PTHrP directly affects the ATP-dependent calcium transport across BM isolated from full-term human placentas. PTHrP (38-94) stimulated ATP-dependent calcium transport at a concentration within the physiological range (5 pg/ml) and the effect (10-38% increase) was concentration dependent over the range 5 pg/ml to 5 ng/ml (n=8; P<0.05). In contrast, PTH, PTHrP (1-34), PTHrP (67-86) and calcitonin increased BM calcium transport only at concentrations much higher than physiological. The increased calcium uptake was inhibited by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine (n=6; P<0.05). In addition, PTHrP (38-94) increased inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) production and PKC phosphorylation in human placental BM (n=12; P<0.05). Our data indicate that PTHrP (38-94) stimulates Ca(2+)ATPase in the human syncytiotrophoblast BM vesicles by activating the IP(3)-DAG-PKC pathway. We suggest that PTHrP (38-94) is important in maintaining the calcium concentration gradient across the placental barrier in the human.

Autosomal-recessive osteopetrosis is a severe genetic disease caused by osteoclast failure. Approximately 50% of the patients harbor mutations of the ATP6i gene, encoding for the osteoclast-specific a3 subunit of V-ATPase. We found inactivating ATP6i mutations in four patients, and three of these were novel. Patients shared macrocephaly, growth retardation and optic nerve alteration, osteosclerotic and endobone patterns, and high alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels. Bone biopsies revealed primary spongiosa lined with active osteoblasts and high numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive, a3 subunit-negative, morphologically unremarkable osteoclasts, some of which located in shallow Howship lacunae. Scarce hematopoietic cells and abundant fibrous tissue containing TRAP-positive putative osteoclast precursors were noted. In vitro osteoclasts were a3-negative, morphologically normal, with prominent clear zones and actin rings, and TRAP activity more elevated than in control patients. Podosomes, alphaVbeta3 receptor, c-Src, and PYK2 were unremarkable. Consistent with the finding in the bone biopsies, these cells excavated pits faintly stained with toluidine blue, indicating inefficient bone resorption. Bone marrow transplantation was successful in all patients, and posttransplant osteoclasts showed rescue of a3 subunit immunoreactivity.

Neonates born after pregnancies complicated by diabetes or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) have increased incidence of hypocalcaemia. Furthermore, IUGR is associated with reduced bone mineralization in infancy and osteoporosis in adult life. We tested the hypothesis that placental calcium transport is altered in these pregnancy complications. Transport of calcium into syncytiotrophoblast basal plasma membrane (BM) vesicles was studied by rapid filtration and protein expression of Ca(2+) ATPase by Western blot. In IUGR Ca(2+) ATPase activity was increased by 48 per cent (n=13; P< 0.05) whereas protein expression was 15 per cent lower (n=13; P< 0.05) than in controls (n=16). Basal membrane ATP dependent calcium transport was unaltered in gestational diabetes (GDM) but increased by 54 per cent in insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) compared to controls (P< 0.05; n =14). Diabetes did not affect Ca(2+) ATPase expression in BM. We have previously shown that the mid-molecular fragment of parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP midmolecule) stimulates BM Ca(2+) ATPase in vitro. PTHrP midmolecule concentrations in umbilical cord plasma were measured using radioimmunoassay. The concentrations in umbilical cord plasma were increased in IUGR, but unaltered in diabetes. In conclusion, placental calcium pump is activated in IUGR and IDDM, which may be secondary to increased foetal calcium demand. We speculate that PTHrP midmolecule may be one mechanism for activating BM Ca(2+) ATPase in IUGR.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the natriuresis and polyuria seen in parathyroid hormone (PTH)-induced hypercalcemia are associated with dysregulation of renal Na transporters. Rats were infused with three different doses of human PTH [PTH (1-34); 7.5, 10, and 15 microg.kg(-1).day(-1) s.c.] or vehicle for 48 h using osmotic minipumps. The rats treated with PTH developed significant hypercalcemia (plasma total calcium levels: 2.71 +/- 0.03, 2.77 +/- 0.02, and 3.42 +/- 0.06 mmol/l, respectively, P < 0.05 compared with corresponding controls). The rats with severe hypercalcemia induced by high-dose PTH developed a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), increased urine output, reduced urinary osmolality, increased urinary Na excretion, and fractional excretion of Na. This was associated with downregulation (calculated as a fraction of control levels) of whole kidney expression of type 2 Na-P(i) cotransporter (NaPi-2; 16 +/- 6%), type 3 Na/H exchanger (NHE3; 42 +/- 7%), Na-K-ATPase (55 +/- 2%), and bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (BSC-1; 25 +/- 4%). In contrast, an upregulation of the Ca(2+)-sensing receptor (CaR) was observed. Rats treated with moderate-dose PTH exhibited unchanged GFR but decreased urinary concentration. The whole kidney expression of NHE3 (52 +/- 8%) and NaPi-2 (26 +/- 5%) was persistently decreased, whereas BSC-1 and Na-K-ATPase protein levels were not altered. CaR expression was also increased. Moreover, rats treated with low-dose PTH showed very mild hypercalcemia but unchanged GFR, normal urinary concentration, and unchanged expression of Na transporters and CaR. In conclusion, the reduced expression of major renal Na transporters is likely to play a role in the increased urinary Na excretion and decreased urinary concentration in rats with PTH-induced hypercalcemia. Moreover, the increase in the CaR in the thick ascending limb (TAL) may indicate a potential role of the CaR in inhibiting Na transport in the TAL.
