Bicarbonate reabsorption was evaluated by stationary microperfusion of in vivo early distal (ED) and late distal (LD) segments of rat kidney. Intratubular pH was recorded by double-barreled H ion-exchange resin/reference (1 M KCl) microelectrodes for the determination of HCO3- reabsorption. In the presence of luminal arginine vasopressin (AVP, 10(-9) M), a significant increase in HCO3- reabsorption was observed both in ED (from 0.931 +/- 0.061 to 2.12 +/- 0.171 nmol.cm-2.s-1] and LD segments [from 0.542 +/- 0.086 to 1.67 +/- 0.111 nmol.cm-2.s-1]. The addition of the V1-receptor antagonist [(d (CH2)5, Tyr (Et)2) arginine vasopressin] (10(-5) M) to luminal perfusion blocked luminal AVP mediated stimulation in ED and LD segments. 5-(N, N-hexamethylene) amiloride (10(-4) M) added to luminal perfusion inhibited luminal AVP-mediated stimulation in ED (by 63.7%) and LD (by 34.1%) segments. The addition of Bafilomycin A1 (2 x 10(-7) M) to the luminal perfusion did not affect luminal AVP-mediated stimulation in ED segments, but reduced it (by 31.7%) in LD segments. Our results indicate that luminal AVP acts to stimulate the Na(+)-H+ exchange in ED and LD segments via activation of V1 receptors, as well as the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in LD segments.

Mongolian gerbils were used as delayed neuronal damage (DND) animal models. At the end of 15 minute cerebral ischemia and at various reperfusion time ranging from 1 to 96 hours, the content of water and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the CA1 sector of hippocampus were measured by the specific gravity method and radioimmunoassay. Furthermore, we also examined the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of AVP, AVP antiserum on calcium, Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in the CA1 sector after ischemia and 96 hour reperfusion. The results showed that AVP contents of CA1 sector of hippocampus during 6 to 96 hour recirculation, and the water content of CA1 sector during 24 to 96 hour were significantly and continuously increased. After ICV injection of AVP, the water content and calcium in CA1 sector of hippocampus at cerebral ischemia and 96 hour recirculation further increased, and the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in CA1 sector was remarkably decreased as compared with that of control. While ICV injection of AVP antiserum, the water content and calcium in CA1 sector were significantly decreased as compared with that of control. These suggested that AVP was involved in the pathophysiologic process of DND in hippocampus following cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Its mechanism might be through the change of intracellular action mediated by specific AVP receptor to lead to Ca ions over-load of neuron and inhibit the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, thereby to exacerbate the DND in hippocampus.

We have examined whether arginine vasopressin (AVP) can induce a long-term modulation of transepithelial ion transport in addition to its well known short-term effect. In the RCCD1 rat cortical collecting duct cell line, an increase in both short-circuit current and 22Na transport was observed after several hours of 10(-8) M AVP treatment (a concentration above the in vivo physiological range). This delayed effect was partially prevented by apical addition of 10(-5) M amiloride and was blocked by 10(-6) M actinomycin D and 2 x 10(-6) M cycloheximide. The amounts of mRNA encoding the alpha1 (not beta1) subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and the beta and gamma (not alpha) subunits of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel were significantly increased by AVP treatment. The increase in mRNA was blocked by actinomycin D, not by amiloride, suggesting a Na+-independent increase in the rate of transcription of these subunits. The translation rates of the alpha1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and the beta and gamma subunits of the rat epithelial sodium channel increased significantly, whereas the translation rates of the other subunits remained unchanged. Finally, the number of Na+ channels present in the apical membrane of the cells increased, as demonstrated by enhanced specific [3H]phenamil binding.

Glucocorticoids (GC) and mineralocorticoids (MC) have profound regulatory effects upon the central nervous system (CNS). Hormonal regulation affects several molecules essential to CNS function. First, evidences are presented that mRNA expression of the alpha3 and beta1-subunits of the Na,K-ATPase are increased by GC and physiological doses of MC in a region-dependent manner. Instead, high MC doses reduce the beta1 isoform and enzyme activity in amygdaloid and hypothalamic nuclei, an effect which may be related to MC control of salt appetite. The alpha3-subunit mRNA of the Na,K-ATPase is also stimulated by GC in motoneurons of the injured spinal cord, suggesting a role for the enzyme in GC neuroprotection. Second, we provide evidences for hormonal effects on the expression of mRNA for the neuropeptide arginine vasopressin (AVP). Our data show that GC inhibition of AVP mRNA levels in the paraventricular nucleus is sex-hormone dependent. This sexual dimorphism may explain sex differences in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function between female and male rats. Third, steroid effects on the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) points to a complex regulatory mechanism. In an animal model of neurodegeneration (the Wobbler mouse) showing pronounced astrogliosis of the spinal cord, in vivo GC treatment down-regulated GFAP immunoreactivity, whereas the membrane-active steroid antioxidant U-74389F up-regulated this protein. It is likely that variations in GFAP protein expression affect spinal cord neurodegeneration in Wobbler mice. Fourth, an interaction between neurotrophins and GC is shown in the injured rat spinal cord. In this model, intensive GC treatment increases immunoreactive low affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor in motoneuron processes. Because GC also increases immunoreactive NGF, this mechanism would support trophism and regeneration in damaged tissues. In conclusion, evidences show that some molecules regulated by adrenal steroids in neurons and glial cells are not only involved in physiological control, but additionally, may play important roles in neuropathology.

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%.

Rat collecting ducts exhibit type I or type III K(+)-ATPase activities when animals are fed a normal (NK) or a K(+)-depleted diet (LK). This study aimed at determining functionally the cell origin of these two K(+)-ATPases. For this purpose, we searched for an effect on K(+)-ATPases of hormones that trigger cAMP production in a cell-specific fashion. The effects of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dD-AVP), calcitonin, and isoproterenol in principal cells, alpha-intercalated cells, and beta-intercalated cells of cortical collecting duct (CCD), respectively, and of dD-AVP and glucagon in principal and alpha-intercalated cells of outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD), respectively, were examined. In CCDs, K(+)-ATPase was stimulated by calcitonin and isoproterenol in NK rats (type I K(+)-ATPase) and by dD-AVP in LK rats (type III K(+)-ATPase). In OMCDs, dD-AVP and glucagon stimulated type III but not type I K(+)-ATPase. These hormone effects were mimicked by the cAMP-permeant analog dibutyryl-cAMP. In conclusion, in NK rats, cAMP stimulates type I K(+)-ATPase activity in alpha- and beta-intercalated CCD cells, whereas in LK rats it stimulates type III K(+)-ATPase in principal cells of both CCD and OMCD and in OMCD intercalated cells.

The present study was designed to determine whether arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulates NO production in the epithelial collecting duct cells of the inner medulla (IMCDs) and if this is mediated through Ca(2+) signaling. Thin tissue layers containing IMCDs were dissected from Sprague-Dawley rats. Intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and NO production were measured in IMCDs by a fluorescence imaging system with the use of fura 2-AM and the cell-permeable form of the NO-sensitive dye 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2), respectively. AVP (100 nmol/L) produced a rapid peak increase in [Ca(2+)](i) of 320 +/- 70 nmol/L within a few seconds and a sustained increase of 120 +/- 62 nmol/L. The peak increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was followed by a significant increase of NO production (34 +/- 7 U). This was similar to that produced by 20 micromol/L of the NO donor DETA-NONOate (42 +/- 11 U). The NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO (100 micromol/L) or depletion of [Ca(2+)](i) by preincubation with 5 micromol/L of the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin in Ca(2+)-free buffer abolished the NO response to AVP. We conclude that AVP mobilizes Ca(2+) to produce NO in IMCDs.

Somatostatin, a hormone that signals via G(i)/G(o), usually inhibits increases in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and insulin release from beta-cells. We have found that in the presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP), which signals via G(q), somatostatin increased [Ca(2+)](i), leading to insulin release in HIT-T15 cells. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by somatostatin was observed even after 60 min of AVP treatment. Somatostatin alone failed to increase [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin release. Somatostatin induced changes in [Ca(2+)](i) in a biphasic pattern, characterized by a sharp and transient increase followed by a rapid decline to sub-basal levels. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin, which inactivates G(i)/G(o), abolished the effects of somatostatin. U-73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, antagonized the somatostatin-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In Ca(2+)-free medium, somatostatin still increased [Ca(2+)](i). Depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin, a microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, abolished somatostatin's effect. In the presence of bradykinin, another G(q)-coupled receptor agonist, somatostatin also increased [Ca(2+)](i), but not in the presence of isoproterenol (a G(s)-coupled receptor agonist) or medetomidine (a G(i)/G(o)-coupled receptor agonist). Our findings suggest that somatostatin signals through G(i)/G(o), and involves phospholipase C and Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by somatostatin leads to insulin release. This cross-talk is specific to G(q) and G(i)/G(o), and is not limited to the AVP and somatostatin receptors.

The effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and/or atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on the regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) via H+-ATPase and of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) was investigated in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells by the fluorescent probes BCECF-AM and fluo-4-AM, respectively. The pHi recovery rate was examined after intracellular acidification following an NH4Cl pulse, in the presence of zero Na+ plus Schering 28080 (a specific inhibitor of H+-K+-ATPase). AVP (10-12-10-6 M) increased the rate of pHi recovery and [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. V1- or V2-receptor antagonists impaired the effect of AVP on both processes, and DDAVP (10-12-10-6 M; a V2-selective agonist) caused a dose-dependent stimulation of them. [Ca2+]i or cAMP (as increased by 10-5 M thapsigargin or 8-BrcAMP, respectively) alone had no effect on H+-ATPase, but their synergic action was necessary to stimulate H+-ATPase. In agreement with these findings, ANP (10-6 M) or dimethyl-BAPTA-AM (5 x 10-5 M), impairing the increase of [Ca2+]i in response to AVP, blocks the stimulatory effect of AVP on H+-ATPase.

Review of 18th and 19th century psychiatric therapies raises the possibility that several may have altered the activity of vasopressin or Na-K-ATPase. Bleeding, whirling, nausea created by medicines, and vagus nerve stimulation by application of electricity through the skin all perturb the hypothalamic hormone, arginine vasopressin, while helleborus and digitalis inhibit the sodium pump enzyme, Na-K-ATPase. These approaches were used with reported benefit many years ago, acting on the brain in ways ongoing research suggests may play a role in affective disorders. Study of long-abandoned treatments may clarify their mechanisms of action and the characteristics of responsive patients.
