1. Effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on ion transport were examined by observing the transmural (VT) and basolateral membrane voltage (VB) in the in vitro perfused rabbit connecting tubule (CNT) and the cortical collecting duct (CCD). 2. Addition of 1 microM PGE2 to the bath induced a biphasic response of transmural voltage (VT), with initial negative VT deflection followed by positive deflection in the CNT, but monophasic negative deflection in the CCD. Because PGE2 had no affect on the basolateral membrane voltage (VB), PGE2 mainly causes changes in the apical membrane voltage. 3. Elimination of Na+ from the lumen abolished the PGE2-induced VT response in the CNT. In the presence of 10 microM luminal amiloride, PGE2 caused only an initial negative deflection without causing later positive deflection. The positive VT deflection induced by PGE2 in the CCD was also blocked by luminal amiloride. 4. Addition of ouabain (0.1 mM) to the bath completely abolished the PGE2-induced VT changes in the CNT, indicating that an intact Na(+)-K+ pump is a prerequisite for the VT response to PGE2. 5. Addition of 2 mM Ba2+ to the lumen did not affect biphasic VT response to PGE2, indicating that Ba(2+)-sensitive K+ conductance is not involved. 6. Basolateral addition of 0.1 mM 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP inhibited only the negative VT deflection induced by PGE2. 7. The positive VT deflection was blocked by basolateral addition of 50 microM 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8), an inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ release. But elimination of luminal Ca2+ did not affect the biphasic response to PGE2. 8. These findings suggest that the initial negative VT deflection is caused by an increase in Na+ influx across the luminal membrane through an amiloride-insensitive Na+ conductive pathway, whereas the later positive deflection is caused by the inhibition of Na+ influx through the amiloride-sensitive Na+ conductive pathway. The cAMP messenger system may be responsible for the initial negative deflection, whereas an increased intercellular Ca2+ release from the store is necessary for the later positive deflection caused by PGE2. The response in the CCD is comparable to the later response in the CNT.

We recently reported a novel intracellular mechanism of renal Na-K-ATPase regulation by agents that increase cell cAMP, which involves protein kinase A-phospholipase A2 and is mediated by one or more arachidonic acid metabolites (Satoh, T., H. T. Cohen, and A. I. Katz. 1992. J. Clin. Invest. 89:1496). The present studies were, therefore, designed to assess the role of eicosanoids in the modulation of Na-K-ATPase activity in the rat cortical collecting duct. The effect of various cAMP agonists (dopamine, fenoldopam, vasopressin, forskolin, and dibutyryl cAMP), which inhibited the pump to a similar extent (approximately 50%), was independent of altered Na entry as it was elicited in the presence of amiloride or nystatin, or when NaCl was replaced with choline Cl. This effect was completely blocked by SKF 525A or ethoxyresorufin, two inhibitors of the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase pathway, or by pretreating the animals with CoCl2, which depletes cytochrome P450. Equimolar concentrations (10(-7) M) of the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin or meclofenamate caused only a partial inhibition of the cAMP agonists' effect on the pump, whereas nordihydroguaiaretic acid or A 63162, two inhibitors of the lipoxygenase pathway, were without effect. Furthermore, two products of this pathway, leukotriene B4 and leukotriene D4, had no effect on Na-K-ATPase activity, and ICI 198615, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, did not alter pump inhibition by cAMP agonists. Several P450 monoxygenase arachidonic acid metabolites (5,6-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid; 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid; 11,12-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid; and 12(R)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) as well as PGE2 inhibited the Na:K pump in dose-dependent manner, but the effect of PGE2 was blocked when Na availability was altered, whereas that of 12(R)-HETE remained unchanged. We conclude that the cytochrome P450-monooxygenase pathway of the arachidonic acid cascade plays a major role in the modulation of Na:K pump activity by eicosanoids in the rat cortical collecting duct, and that products of the cyclooxygenase pathway may contribute to pump inhibition indirectly, by decreasing intracellular Na.

The stimulation of alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the kidney produces diuresis. In this study, alpha-2 adrenergic receptors were examined in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells isolated from the rabbit kidney. The equilibrium binding of [3H] rauwolscine to IMCD cell homogenate was measured after incubation for 45 min at 25 degrees C in the absence (total binding) and presence (nonspecific binding) of 100 microM phentolamine. The specific binding of [3H]rauwolscine was saturable with a Bmax of 170 fmol/mg of protein and Kd of 4.18 nM. The displacement of [3H]rauwolscine binding to IMCD cells by adrenergic antagonists and agonists displayed the following order of potency: phentolamine > yohimbine > clonidine > oxymetazoline > azepexole > propranolol > prazosin > alpha-methyl norepinephrine > epinephrine. Activation of alpha-2 adrenergic receptors by azepexole decreased vasopressin- and forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in the IMCD cells. Because IMCD cells in the kidney have a hypertonic environment made up of urea and NaCl, we also determined the effects of a mixture of NaCl and urea (1200 mOsm/kg water) on the binding of [3H]rauwolscine and cAMP formation in the IMCD cells. The hypertonicity increased the Kd and Bmax of [3H]rauwolscine binding to 15.2 nM and 240 fmol/mg of protein, respectively. In addition, hypertonicity decreased forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in IMCD cells. It is concluded that: 1) high-affinity specific alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are present in the rabbit IMCD; 2) selective alpha-2 agonists inhibit vasopressin- and forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in rabbit IMCD and 3) the effects of adrenergic drugs on the IMCD in vivo will depend on the renal medullary osmolality that itself depends on the state of the hydration of the animal.

Exogenous endothelin-1 (ET-1) inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Since ET-1 is produced by, and binds to specific receptors on, the IMCD, the possibility exists that ET-1 is an autocrine regulator of AVP action in this nephron segment. To test this hypothesis, rat IMCD cells grown on semipermeable membranes were exposed to rabbit anti-ET antisera or nonimmune rabbit sera (NRS). AVP (10(-9)M) caused a significantly greater accumulation of cAMP in confluent IMCD monolayers preincubated in ET-1 antisera compared with NRS. ET-1 (10(-8) M) inhibited the AVP-induced rise in cAMP by 65% in cells preincubated in ET-1 antisera, but had no effect in NRS-treated cells. Finally, 125I-ET-1 (30 pM) binding was increased sixfold in IMCD preincubated in anti-ET-1 antisera. These data indicate that ET causes tonic autocrine inhibition of AVP responsiveness in the IMCD.

Facilitated transport of urea by the inner medullary collecting duct in kidney is important for the urinary concentrating mechanism. To examine the nature and tissue distribution of urea transporters, mRNA was isolated from different tissues and expressed in Xenopus oocytes. [14C]urea and [3H]methylglucose uptake were measured at 21 degrees C at 64 h after microinjection of mRNA. Relative urea uptake in oocytes injected with 50 ng of unfractionated mRNA was (n = 6-42): 1.0 (water-injected control), 1.0 +/- 0.3 (human kidney cortex), 2.9 +/- 0.5 (rat kidney papilla), 2.5 +/- 0.5 (human kidney papilla), 2.7 +/- 0.3 (rat liver), 1.1 +/- 0.3 (rat brain), 1.2 +/- 0.3 (rat muscle), and 2.6 +/- 0.3 (rabbit reticulocyte). Urea uptake was inhibited to near control values by 0.2 mM phloretin and 0.2 mM p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate (pCMBS) in oocytes injected with mRNA from kidney medulla, liver, and reticulocyte; phloretin and pCMBS had no effect in control oocytes and oocytes injected with mRNA from kidney cortex, brain, and muscle. Urea uptake was strongly increased in oocytes injected with kidney medulla mRNA (4.4-fold over control) by a 5-min preincubation with the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) agonist adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (Sp-cAMPS) or a mixture of CPT-cAMP, forskolin, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine; cAMP agonists did not affect urea uptake in oocytes expressing the reticulocyte and liver urea transporters. As an internal control, (phloretin inhibitable) glucose uptake was enhanced in all oocytes (up to 5-fold greater than control), and was not affected by pCMBS and the cAMP agonists.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We reported a novel intracellular mechanism of renal Na-K-ATPase regulation by dopamine (DA) in the rat cortical collecting duct (CCD), which involves stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). In the present experiments we determined whether this mechanism also operates in other nephron segments. In the medullary thick ascending limbs (MTAL), DA and other cAMP agonists inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity, an effect that was abolished by PKA inhibitor IP20, but various protein kinase C (PKC) activators did not, analogous to our previous findings in CCD. In sharp contrast, DA inhibition on Na-K-ATPase in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) was reproduced by PKC agonists. These effects was blocked by PKC inhibitor staurosporine, but not by IP20. Mepacrine, a PLA2 inhibitor, reversed the pump effect of all agents, and arachidonic acid (AA) produced a dose-dependent pump inhibition, in all three nephron segments. We conclude that the intracellular mechanisms of Na-K-ATPase regulation by dopamine differ in the proximal and distal nephron, as they involve stimulation of PKA in MTAL and CCD, and of PKC in PCT. These two pathways probably share a common mechanism in stimulating PLA2 and AA release in both regions of the nephron.

The P2u class of nucleotide receptors is linked to mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in many cell types, including the renal collecting duct cells. In the present studies, we examined the effects of nucleotides (ATP, UTP, and ADP; 10 microM each) on the arginine vasopressin (AVP, 0.1 nM)-stimulated osmotic water permeability (Pf) in in vitro perfused terminal inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD) of rat. ATP or UTP, when added to the bath, decreased the AVP-stimulated Pf by approximately 40%. These effects were reversible upon withdrawal of the nucleotides. However, addition of ADP to the bath or sham exchange of the bath had no significant effect on the Pf. Furthermore, ATP did not have any significant effect on the Pf stimulated either by a membrane-permeant, nonhydrolyzable adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) analogue [8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP, 0.1 mM] o by forskolin (1 microM). In line with these findings, ATP decreased the AVP-stimulated cAMP levels in IMCD suspensions to approximately 68%. In addition, ATP did not exert an inhibitory effect on the AVP-stimulated Pf in the presence of calphostin C (150 nM), an inhibitor of protein kinase C. These results lead us to conclude the following: 1) agonist occupancy of the putative nucleotide receptor in the terminal IMCD causes an inhibition of AVP-stimulated Pf; and 2) this effect is due to a decrease in cellular cAMP levels, most likely resulting from activation of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

Previously, we demonstrated that a mouse inner medullary collecting duct cell line (mIMCD-K2) secretes Cl- by an electrogenic mechanism via cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels [N. L. Kizer, B. Lewis, and B. A. Stanton. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 37): F347-F355, 1995; N. L. Kizer, D. Vandorpe, B. Lewis, B. Bunting, J. Russell, and B. A. Stanton. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 37): F854-F861, 1995; D. Vandorpe, N. Kizer, F. Ciampolillo-Bates, B. Moyer, K. Karlson, W. B. Guggino, and B. A. Stanton. Am. J. Physiol. 269 (Cell Physiol. 38): C683-C689, 1995]. The objective of the present study was to determine whether adenosine, and adenosine A1 receptors (A1AR) specifically, regulate electrogenic Cl- secretion (IscCl) in mIMCD-K2 cells. Neither N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), a specific A1AR agonist, nor 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), a specific A1AR antagonist, altered basal, unstimulated IscCl in monolayers of mIMCD-K2 cells mounted in Ussing-type chambers. In contrast, DPCPX increased arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated IscCl, an effect that was reversed by CHA. Adenosine deaminase (ADA), which oxidatively deaminates adenosine to inosine, increased AVP-stimulated IscCl. CHA reversed the stimulatory effect of ADA on AVP-stimulated IscCl. These results suggest that adenosine, via A1AR, inhibits AVP-stimulated IscCl. To identify the source(s) of extracellular adenosine, we examined the effects of dipyridamole, an inhibitor of nucleoside transport, and alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate (AOPCP), an inhibitor of ecto-5'-nucleotidase, on AVP-stimulated IscCl. Both compounds increased AVP-stimulated IscCl. CHA reversed the stimulatory effect of dipyridamole and AOPCP on IscCl. Neither ADA nor CHA had an effect on 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP)-stimulated IscCl. Moreover, U-73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, failed to attenuate the increase in AVP-stimulated IscCl elicited by dipyridamole and AOPCP or the decrease in AVP-stimulated IscCl elicited by CHA. We conclude that adenosine, released by a nucleoside transporter and formed extracellularly by the breakdown of AMP, binds to A1AR, and decreases AVP-stimulated IscCl in mIMCD-K2 cells by reducing intracellular cAMP levels.

Nitric oxide has a diuretic effect in vivo. We have shown that nitric oxide inhibits antidiuretic hormone-stimulated osmotic water permeability in the collecting duct; however, the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. We hypothesized that inhibition of antidiuretic hormone-stimulated water permeability by nitric oxide in the collecting duct is the result of activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase, which in turn decreases intracellular cAMP. To test this hypothesis, we microperfused cortical collecting ducts. Antidiuretic hormone-stimulated water permeability was 317 +/- 47 microm/s (P < .001). Addition of spermine NONOate, a nitric oxide donor, to the bath decreased water permeability to 74 +/- 38 microm/s (P < .002). In the presence of LY 83583, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, spermine NONOate did not change water permeability. Addition of spermine NONOate increased cGMP production (P < .01). In the presence of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, spermine NONOate did not change water permeability. Since antidiuretic hormone increases water permeability by increasing cAMP, we hypothesized that nitric oxide inhibits water permeability by decreasing cAMP. In tubules pretreated with antidiuretic hormone, intracellular cAMP was 18.9 +/- 3.9 fmol/mm. In tubules treated with antidiuretic hormone and spermine NONOate, cAMP was 9.3 +/- 1.7 fmol/mm (P < .03). We also examined the effect of spermine NONOate on dibutyryl-cAMP-stimulated water permeability. In the presence of dibutyryl-cAMP, water permeability was 388 +/- 30 microm/s. Addition of spermine NONOate had no significant effect on water permeability. Time controls and inhibitors by themselves did not change antidiuretic hormone-stimulated water permeability. We concluded that nitric oxide decreases antidiuretic hormone-stimulated water permeability by increasing cGMP via soluble guanylate cyclase, activating cGMP-dependent protein kinase and decreasing cAMP.

Expression of Ca2+-inhibitable types V and VI adenylyl cyclases was studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in rat renal glomeruli and nephron segments isolated by microdissection. Quantitation of each mRNA was achieved using a mutant cRNA which differed from the wild type by substituting two bases to create a new restriction site in the corresponding cDNA. Type VI mRNA was present all along the nephron but was more abundant in distal than in proximal segments. The expression of type V mRNA was restricted to the glomerulus and to the initial portions of the collecting duct. Expression of the Ca2+-insensitive type IV mRNA studied on the same samples was evidenced only in the glomerulus. The functional relevance of the expression of Ca2+-inhibitable isoforms was studied by measuring cAMP content in the microdissected outer medullary collecting duct which expressed both type V mRNA (2367 +/- 178 molecules/mm tubular length; n = 8) and type VI mRNA (5658 +/- 543 molecules/mm, n = 8). Agents known to increase intracellular Ca2+ in this segment induced a Ca2+-dependent inhibition on either arginine vasopressin- or glucagon-stimulated cAMP level. The characteristics of these inhibitions suggest a functional and differential expression of types V and VI adenylyl cyclases in two different cell types of the rat outer medullary collecting duct.
