Abstract
AIM Type A intercalated cells of the renal collecting duct participate in the maintenance of the acid/base balance through their capacity to adapt proton secretion to homeostatic requirements. We previously showed that increased proton secretion stems in part from the enlargement of the population of proton secreting cells in the outer medullary collecting duct through division of fully differentiated cells, and that this response is triggered by growth/differentiation factor 15. This study aimed at deciphering the mechanism of acid load-induced secretion of Gdf15 and its mechanism of action. METHODS We developed an original method to evaluate the proliferation of intercalated cells and applied it to genetically modified or pharmacologically treated mice under basal and acid-loaded conditions. RESULTS Gdf15 is secreted by principal cells of the collecting duct in response to the stimulation of vasopressin receptors. Vasopressin-induced production of cAMP triggers activation of AMP-stimulated kinases and of Na,K-ATPase, and induction of p53 and Gdf15. Gdf15 action on intercalated cells is mediated by ErbB2 receptors, the activation of which triggers the expression of cyclin d1, of p53 and anti-proliferative genes, and of Egr1. CONCLUSION Acidosis-induced proliferation of intercalated cells results from a cross talk with principal cells which secrete Gdf15 in response to their stimulation by vasopressin. Thus, vasopressin is a major determinant of the collecting duct cellular homeostasis as it promotes proliferation of intercalated cells under acidosis conditions and of principal cells under normal acid-base status.

Abstract
Vasopressins are evolutionarily conserved peptide hormones. Mammalian vasopressin functions systemically as an antidiuretic and regulator of blood and cardiac flow essential for adapting to terrestrial environments. Moreover, vasopressin acts centrally as a neurohormone involved in social and parental behavior and stress response. Vasopressin synthesis in several cell types, storage in intracellular vesicles, and release in response to physiological stimuli are highly regulated and mediated by three distinct G protein coupled receptors. Other receptors may bind or cross-bind vasopressin. Vasopressin is regulated spatially and temporally through transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, sex, tissue, and cell-specific receptor expression. Anomalies of vasopressin signaling have been observed in polycystic kidney disease, chronic heart failure, and neuropsychiatric conditions. Growing knowledge of the central biological roles of vasopressin has enabled pharmacological advances to treat these conditions by targeting defective systemic or central pathways utilizing specific agonists and antagonists.

Abstract
In mammals, three subtypes of V-receptors have been identified in the kidney. The effects of vasopressin, a hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus, are triggered by three distinct receptor isoforms: V2, V1a, and V1b. Stimulation of V2-receptors regulates urine osmotic concentration by increasing sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and enhancing osmotic permeability of the epithelium cells in the collecting duct. Stimulation of V1a-receptors inhibits renal sodium reabsorption and induces natriuresis, comparable to the effect of the diuretic furosemide, in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Stimulation of V1b-receptors induces potassium secretion in the final parts of the distal segments and initial parts of the collecting ducts. In this review, we discuss the role of vasopressin and its interaction with V-receptor subtypes in natriuresis and for stabilizing the physicochemical parameters of the internal environment and water-salt homeostasis in humans. A better understanding of these systems and their regulation is necessary to facilitate identification of additional system components and mechanisms, clarify their contribution during various normal and pathological functional states, and suggest novel strategies for the development of therapeutic interventions.

Stimulation of V1a receptor increases renal uric acid clearance via urate transporters: insight into pathogenesis of hypouricemia in SIADH. Clin Exp Nephrol 2016; 20:845-852.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypouricemia is pathognomonic in syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Based on the previous studies, we hypothesized that V1a receptor may play a principal role in inducing hypouricemia in SIADH and examined uric acid metabolism using a rat model. METHODS Terlipressin (25 ng/h), a selective V1a agonist, was subcutaneously infused to 7-week-old male Wistar rats (n = 9). Control rats were infused with normal saline (n = 9). The rats were sacrificed to obtain kidney tissues 3 days after treatment. In addition to electrolyte metabolism, changes in expressions of the urate transporters including URAT1 (SLC22A12), GLUT9 (SLC2A9), ABCG2 and NPT1 (SLC17A1) were examined by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In the terlipressin-treated rats, serum uric acid (UA) significantly decreased and the excretion of urinary UA significantly increased, resulting in marked increase in fractional excretion of UA. Although no change in the expression of URAT1, GLUT9 expression significantly decreased whereas the expressions of ABCG2 and NPT1 significantly increased in the terlipressin group. The results of immunohistochemistry corroborated with those of the western blotting. Aquaporin 2 expression did not change in the medulla, suggesting the independence of V2 receptor stimulation. CONCLUSION Stimulation of V1a receptor induces the downregulation of GLUT9, reabsorption urate transporter, together with the upregulation of ABCG2 and NPT1, secretion urate transporters, all changes of which clearly lead to increase in renal UA clearance. Hypouricemia seen in SIADH is attributable to V1a receptor stimulation.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary gland during states of hyperosmolality or hypovolemia. AVP is a peptide hormone, with antidiuretic and antinatriuretic properties. It allows the kidneys to increase body water retention predominantly by increasing the cell surface expression of aquaporin water channels in the collecting duct alongside increasing the osmotic driving forces for water reabsorption. The antinatriuretic effects of AVP are mediated by the regulation of sodium transport throughout the distal nephron, from the thick ascending limb through to the collecting duct, which in turn partially facilitates osmotic movement of water. In this review, we will discuss the regulatory role of AVP in sodium transport and summarize the effects of AVP on various molecular targets, including the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter NKCC2, the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter NCC, and the epithelial sodium channel ENaC.

Abstract
Kidney collecting duct cells are continuously exposed to the changes of extracellular pH (pHe). We aimed to study the effects of altered pHe on desmopressin (dDAVP)-induced phosphorylation (Ser256, Ser261, Ser264, and Ser269) and apical targeting of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in rat kidney inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. When freshly prepared IMCD tubule suspensions exposed to HEPES buffer with pH 5.4, 6.4, 7.4, or 8.4 for 1 h were stimulated with dDAVP (10−10 M, 3 min), AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser256, Ser264, and Ser269 was significantly attenuated under acidic conditions. Next, IMCD cells primary cultured in transwell chambers were exposed to a transepithelial pH gradient for 1 h (apical pH 6.4, 7.4, or 8.4 vs. basolateral pH 7.4 and vice versa). Immunocytochemistry and cell surface biotinylation assay revealed that exposure to either apical pH 6.4 or basolateral pH 6.4 for 1 h was associated with decreased dDAVP (10−9 M, 15 min, basolateral)-induced apical targeting of AQP2 and surface expression of AQP2. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis revealed that the dDAVP (10−9 M)-induced increase of PKA activity was significantly attenuated when LLC-PK1 cells were exposed to pHe 6.4 compared with pHe 7.4 and 8.4. In contrast, forskolin (10−7 M)-induced PKA activation and dDAVP (10−9 M)-induced increases of intracellular Ca2+ were not affected. Taken together, dDAVP-induced phosphorylation and apical targeting of AQP2 are attenuated in IMCD cells under acidic pHe, likely via an inhibition of vasopressin V2 receptor-G protein-cAMP-PKA actions.

Abstract
Apelin receptors (ApelinRs) are expressed along an increasing cortico-medullary gradient in collecting ducts (CDs). We showed here that iv injection of apelin 17 (K17F) in lactating rats characterized by increases in both synthesis and release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) increased diuresis concomitantly with a significant decrease in urine osmolality and no change in Na(+) and K(+) excretion. Under these conditions, we also observed a significant decrease in apical aquaporin-2 immunolabeling in CD, with a cortico-medullary gradient, suggesting that K17F-induced diuresis could be linked to a direct action of apelin on CD. We then examined the potential cross talk between V1a AVP receptor (V1a-R), V2 AVP receptor (V2-R) and ApelinR signaling pathways in outer medullary CD (OMCD) and inner medullary CD microdissected rat CD. In OMCD, expressing the 3 receptors, K17F inhibited cAMP production and Ca(2+) influx induced by 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin a V2-R agonist. Similar effects were observed in inner medullary CD expressing only V2-R and ApelinR. In contrast, in OMCD, K17F increased by 51% the Ca(2+) influx induced by the stimulation of V1a-R by AVP in the presence of the V2-R antagonist SR121463B, possibly enhancing the physiological antagonist effect of V1a-R on V2-R. Thus, the diuretic effect of apelin is not only due to a central effect by inhibiting AVP release in the blood circulation as previously shown but also to a direct action of apelin on CD, by counteracting the antidiuretic effect of AVP occurring via V2-R.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels in principal cells of the kidney collecting duct are essential for urine concentration. Due to application of modern technologies, progress in our understanding of AQP2 has accelerated in recent years. In this article, we highlight some of the new insights into AQP2 function that have developed recently, with particular focus on the cell biological aspects of AQP2 regulation. RECENT FINDINGS AQP2 is subjected to a number of regulated modifications, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination, which are important for AQP2 function, cellular localization and degradation. AQP2 is likely internalized via clathrin and non-clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Regulation of AQP2 endocytosis, in addition to exocytosis, is a vital mechanism in determining overall AQP2 membrane abundance. AQP2 is associated with regulated membrane microdomains. Studies using membrane cholesterol depleting reagents, for example statins, have supported the role of membrane rafts in regulation of AQP2 trafficking. Noncanonical roles for AQP2, for example in epithelial cell migration, are emerging. SUMMARY AQP2 function and thus urine concentration is dependent on a variety of cell signalling mechanisms, posttranslational modification and interplay between AQP2 and its lipid environment. This complexity of regulation allows fine-tuning of AQP2 function and thus body water homeostasis.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is known to influence NaCl transport in the medullary thick ascending limbs (MAL), where the largest NaCl reabsorption occurs among distal nephron segments in response to arginine vasopressin (AVP). In the present study, we investigated the effect of ANP on bicarbonate (HCO3−) transport in the MAL using an isolated tubule perfusion technique. The HCO3− concentration was measured using free-flow ultramicro-fluorometer. We first observed basal HCO3− reabsorption in both long- and short-looped MALs (lMALs, and sMALs, respectively). AVP inhibited HCO3− reabsorption in both lMALs and sMALs, whereas ANP did not change HCO3− transport. However, in the presence of AVP, ANP restored the HCO3− reabsorption inhibited by AVP both in lMAL and sMAL. The effects of ANP on HCO3− transport was mimicked by cyclic GMP. The mRNA expression level of the vasopressin V2 receptor in lMALs was significantly higher than in sMALs, whereas expression of the V1a receptor was unchanged. In summary, AVP inhibits HCO3− transport, and ANP counteracts the action of AVP on HCO3− transport both in lMALs and sMALs.

Abstract
Water excretion is regulated in large part through the regulation of osmotic water permeability of the renal collecting duct epithelium. Water permeability is controlled by vasopressin through regulation of the water channel, aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Two processes contribute: (1) regulation of AQP2 trafficking to the apical plasma membrane; and (2) regulation of the total amount of the AQP2 protein in the cells. Regulation of AQP2 abundance is defective in several water-balance disorders, including many polyuric disorders and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. Here we review vasopressin signaling in the renal collecting duct that is relevant to the two modes of water permeability regulation.

METHODS By using a quantitative in situ hybridization technique and a double-staining technique with an anti-AQP3 antibody in mice, we investigated the axial distribution and acidosis-induced expression of V1aR mRNA along the nephron. We also investigated the acidosis-induced morphological change in the tubule cells from wild-type and V1aR-null (V1aR(-/-)) mice. RESULTS In the normal condition, V1aR mRNA was moderately expressed in the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) and highly expressed in the intercalated cell (IC) throughout the collecting duct (CD). However, no expression was observed in the proximal tubule, thin limbs of Henle's loop, and the principal cell of the CD. Importantly, V1aR mRNA was upregulated significantly both in the TAL and the IC of the CD in the inner stripe of the outer medulla (MTALis and IC of OMCDis, respectively) when mice were treated with NH4Cl (0.28 mol/L) for 6 days. Acidosis-induced hypertrophy, which was completely attenuated in V1aR(-/-) mice, was observed only in the IC of OMCDis (P < 0.005). In addition, urinary excretion of ammonia (NH3/NH4 (+)) was significantly decreased on day 3 (P < 0.05) and day 6 (P < 0.005) in the V1aR(-/-) mice treated with NH4Cl. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the IC of OMCDis may be the target cell stimulated by the vasopressin V1aR axis and contribute to urinary acidification, at least during metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) is essential for a wide range of physiological functions, including water reabsorption, cardiovascular homeostasis, hormone secretion, and social behavior. These and other actions of AVP are mediated by at least three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. Although the antidiuretic action of AVP and V2 receptor in renal distal tubules and collecting ducts is relatively well understood, recent years have seen an increasing understanding of the physiological roles of V1a and V1b receptors. The V1a receptor is originally found in the vascular smooth muscle and the V1b receptor in the anterior pituitary. Deletion of V1a or V1b receptor genes in mice revealed that the contributions of these receptors extend far beyond cardiovascular or hormone-secreting functions. Together with extensively developed pharmacological tools, genetically altered rodent models have advanced the understanding of a variety of AVP systems. Our report reviews the findings in this important field by covering a wide range of research, from the molecular physiology of V1a and V1b receptors to studies on whole animals, including gene knockout/knockdown studies.

Abstract
We previously reported that a deficiency in the vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) results in type 4 renal tubular acidosis, which suggests that vasopressin exerts direct effects on the physiological actions of aldosterone. We investigated the role of vasopressin for nucleocytoplasmic transport of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the intercalated cells. Vasopressin V1aR-deficient (V1aR(-/-)) mice showed largely decreased expression of MR and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11βHSD2) in the medulla of the kidney, which was partially ameliorated by fludrocortisone treatment. The incubation of IN-IC cells, an intercalated cell line established from temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen-expressing rats, with aldosterone or vasopressin increased the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio of the MR from 11.2 to 47.2% and from 18.7 to 61.2%, respectively, in 30 min without any changes in MR expression from the whole cell extract. The immunohistochemistry analysis of the IN-IC cells revealed the nuclear accumulation of MRs after a 30-min incubation with aldosterone or vasopressin. These effects were accompanied by an increase in regulator of chromosome condensation-1 (RCC-1) due to aldosterone and a decrease in Ran GTPase-activating protein 1 (Ran Gap1) due to vasopressin. RNA interference against V1aR abolished the nuclear accumulation of MR induced by aldosterone or vasopressin. Vasopressin increased PKCα and -β(1) expression, and aldosterone increased PKCδ and -ζ expression, but these effects were abolished with a V1aR knockdown. These results suggest that vasopressin directly regulates the nucleocytoplasmic transport of MRs via the V1aR in the intercalated cells of the collecting ducts.

Abstract
Vasopressin V1a receptors (V1aR) were found in the cerebellum but their functional role has not been determined. As V1aR are engaged in the central regulation of the cardiovascular system and anxiogenic behavior and their role increases in the heart failure and stress, we decided to find out whether expression of V1aR is altered after myocardial infarction and chronic stressing. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to determine V1aR mRNA and protein expression in the cerebellum of four groups of rats (control sham-operated, infarcted, chronically stressed and infarcted chronically stressed). The myocardial infarct was produced by left coronary artery ligation, and chronic stressing by exposing the rat for four weeks to different types of mild stressors. The rats were sacrificed four weeks after the myocardial surgery or sham operation. Expressions of V1aR mRNA and protein were significantly lower in the infarcted and infarcted chronically stressed rats than in the sham-operated controls and chronically stressed not infarcted rats. No significant differences were found between the sham-operated controls and chronically stressed rats and between the infarcted rats and infarcted rats exposed to chronic stressing. It is concluded that V1aR mRNA and protein expressions are significantly down-regulated in the rats with the post-infarct heart failure but they are not affected by mild chronic stressing.

Abstract
Both aldosterone and luminal vasopressin may contribute to the maintenance of acid-base homeostasis, but the functional relationship between these hormones is not well understood. The effects of luminal vasopressin likely result from its interaction with V1a receptors on the luminal membranes of intercalated cells in the collecting duct. Here, we found that mice lacking the V1a receptor exhibit type 4 renal tubular acidosis. The administration of the mineralocorticoid agonist fludrocortisone ameliorated the acidosis by restoring excretion of urinary ammonium via increased expression of Rhcg and H-K-ATPase and decreased expression of H-ATPase. In a cell line of intercalated cells established from transgenic rats expressing the mineralocorticoid and V1a receptors, but not V2 receptors, knockdown of the V1a receptor gene abrogated the effects of aldosterone on H-K-ATPase, Rhcg, and H-ATPase expression. These data suggest that defects in the vasopressin V1a receptor in intercalated cells can cause type 4 renal tubular acidosis and that the tubular effects of aldosterone depend on a functional V1a receptor in the intercalated cells.

Abstract
1-Deamino-arginine vasotocin (1dAVT) induced diuresis and a considerable increase in urinary sodium excretion in female Wistar rats. Sodium fractional excretion rose up to 19.3 ± 1.1%. An increase in urine flow rate after 1dAVT (0.5 nmol/kg body-weight [bw]) injection was accompanied by a significant rise of the solute-free water reabsorption. The 1dAVT-induced natriuresis was as high as natriuresis produced by injection of a maximal dose of furosemide (10mg/kg bw). V(1)-receptor antagonists (ОРС-21268, [β-mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl(1),O-Me-Tyr(2),Arg(8)]-vasopressin) blocked the increase in urinary sodium excretion after the 1dAVT injection. The 1dAVT-induced natriuresis was strongly correlated with an increase in the urinary cGMP and prostaglandin E(2) excretion. The natriuretic effect of 1dAVT did not depend on the formation of nitric oxide (NO) or atrial natriuretic peptide of which concentration in the rat blood serum remained stable. The above results indicate that the 1dAVT has unique effects on rat kidney compared to all other known diuretics - it induces extremely high natriuresis and stimulates solute-free water reabsorption. Mechanism of the natriuretic effect of 1dAVT includes decrease in tubular sodium reabsorption due to activation of V(1)-like receptors and formation of cGMP and PGЕ(2).

Abstract
The objective of the present work was to characterize the biochemical activity of the proton pumps present in the C11 clone of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, akin to intercalated cells of the collecting duct, as well as to study their regulation by hormones like aldosterone and vasopressin. MDCK-C11 cells from passages 78 to 86 were utilized. The reaction to determine H+-ATPase activity was started by addition of cell homogenates to tubes contained the assay medium. The inorganic phosphate (Pi) released was determined by a colorimetric method modified from that described by Fiske and Subbarow. Changes in intracellular calcium concentration in the cells was determined using the Ca2+-sensing dye fluo-4 AM. Homogenates of MDCK-C11 cells present a bafilomycin-sensitive activity (vacuolar H+-ATPase), and a vanadate-sensitive activity (H+/K+-ATPase). The bafilomycin-sensitive activity showed a pH optimum of 6.12. ATPase activity was also stimulated in a dose-dependent fashion as K+ concentration was increased between 0 and 50 mmol·L–1, with an apparent Km for the release of Pi of 0.13 mmol·L–1 and Vmax of 22.01 nmol·mg–1·min–1. Incubation of cell monolayers with 10−8 mol·L–1 aldosterone for 24 h significantly increased vacuolar H+-ATPase activity, an effect prevented by 10−5 mol·L–1 spironolactone. Vacuolar H+-ATPase activity was also stimulated by 10−11 mol·L–1 vasopressin, an effect prevented by a V1 receptor-specific antagonist. This dose of vasopressin determined a sustained rise of cytosolic ionized calcium. We conclude that (i) homogenates of MDCK-C11 cells present a bafilomycin-sensitive (H+-ATPase) activity and a vanadate-sensitive (H+/K+-ATPase) activity, and (ii) vacuolar H+-ATPase activity is activated by aldosterone through a genomic pathway and by vasopressin through V1 receptors.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a key role in the urine concentration mechanism via the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) in the kidney. It is well known that V2R is localized on the basolateral side and the V1a receptor (V1aR) is distributed on the luminal side of the collecting ducts. Previously, we reported an increase of V1aR mRNA and a decrease of V2R mRNA in the collecting ducts under chronic metabolic acidosis. However, the regulatory mechanism of V2R in acidic conditions has not yet been determined. In the present study, we investigated the effect of changes in pH on V2R promoter activity, using the LLC-PK(1) cell line stably expressing rat V1aR (LLC-PK(1)/rV1aR). The rV2R promoter activity was significantly increased at 12 h after the incubation in low-pH conditions, which was sustained for 24 h. mRNA and protein expressions of V2R were also increased in low-pH conditions. V1aR stimulation suppressed rV2R promoter activity in a pH-dependent manner. PKA and JNK inhibitors suppressed rV2R promoter activity in both neutral and low-pH conditions without FBS. However, a JNK inhibitor prevented the increase of V2R promoter activity only in low-pH conditions in the presence of FBS. In summary, V2R expression is increased at transcriptional, mRNA, and protein levels in LLC-PK(1)/rV1aR cells under low-pH conditions. Acidic condition-induced V2R enhancement was suppressed by V1aR stimulation, suggesting the crucial role of V1aR in water and electrolyte homeostasis in acidosis.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and hypertonicity in the renal medulla play a major role in the urine concentration mechanism. Previously, we showed that rat vasopressin V2 receptor (rV2R) promoter activity was increased by vasopressin V2R stimulation and decreased by vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) stimulation in a LLC-PK1 cell line stably expressing rat V1aR (LLC-PK1/rV1aR). In the present study, we investigated the effects of hypertonicity on the rV2R promoter activity and on the suppression of rV2R promoter activity by V1aR stimulation in LLC-PK1/rV1aR cells. rV2R promoter activity was increased in NaCl- or mannitol-induced hypertonicity. The hypertonicity-responsive site in the rV2R promoter region was limited to 10 bp, including the Sp1 motif. The increase of V2R promoter activity by hypertonicity was significantly inhibited by a JNK inhibitor (SP600125) and PKA inhibitor (H89). In contrast, rV2R promoter activity was remarkably suppressed by V1aR stimulation in the hypertonic condition rather than in the isotonic condition. The AVP-stimulated intracellular Ca2+ concentration was increased in the hypertonic condition, suggesting the functional activation of V1aR by hypertonicity. In conclusion, 1) V2R promoter activity is increased by hypertonicity via the JNK and PKA pathways, 2) suppression of V2R expression by the V1aR-Ca2+ pathway is enhanced by hypertonicity, and 3) hypertonicity enhances the V1aR-Ca2+ pathway. The counteractivity of V2R and V1aR could be required to maintain minimum urine volume in the dehydrated state.

Abstract
The neuropeptide hormone arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is well known to exert its antidiuretic effect via the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R), whereas the role of the vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) in the kidney remains to be clarified. Previously, we reported decreased plasma volume and blood pressure in V1a receptor-deficient (V1aR-/-) mice (Koshimizu T, Nasa Y, Tanoue A, Oikawa R, Kawahara Y, Kiyono Y, Adachi T, Tanaka T, Kuwaki T, Mori T. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103: 7807-7812, 2006). In this study, we investigated the role of V1aR in urine concentration, renal function, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) using V1aR-/- mice. Urine volume of V1aR-/- mice was greater than that of wild-type mice, particularly when water was loaded, while the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary NaCl excretion, AVP-dependent cAMP generation, V2R, and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) expression in the kidney were lower, indicating that the diminished GFR and V2R-AQP2 system led to impaired urinary concentration in V1aR-/- mice. Since the GFR and V2R-AQP2 system are regulated by RAS, we analyzed renin and angiotensin II in V1aR-/- mice and found that the plasma renin and angiotensin II were decreased. The expression of renin in granule cells was decreased in V1aR-/- mice, which led to a decreased level of plasma renin. In addition, the expression of renin stimulators such as neuronal nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in macula densa (MD) cells, where V1aR was specifically expressed, was decreased in V1aR-/- mice. These data indicate that AVP regulates body fluid homeostasis and GFR via the V1aR in MD cells by activating RAS and subsequently the V2R-AQP2 system.

Abstract
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) has been proposed to be involved in the modulation of acid-base transporters; however, the nature of the mechanisms underlying AVP direct action on intracellular pH (pH(i)) in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) is not yet clearly defined. The aim of the present study was to elucidate which are the proteins implicated in AVP modulation of pH(i), as well as the receptors involved in these responses using a CCD cell line (RCCD(1)); pH(i) was monitored with the fluorescent dye BCECF in basal conditions and after stimulation with basolateral 10(-8) M AVP. Specific V1- or V2-receptor antagonists were also used. RT-PCR studies demonstrated that RCCD(1) cells express V1a and V2 receptors. Functional studies showed that while V2-receptor activation induced a biphasic response (alkalinization-acidification), V1-receptor activation resulted in an intracellular acidification. The V2-mediated alkalinization phase involves the activation of basolateral NHE-1 isoform of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger while in the acidification phase CFTR is probably implicated. On the other hand, V1-mediated acidification was due to activation of a Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger. We conclude that in RCCD(1) cells AVP selectively activates, via a complex of V1 and V2 receptor-mediated actions, different ion transporters linked to pH(i) regulation which might have physiological implications.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), released from the CNS, plays an important role in regulating several aspects of CNS functions including aggression, anxiety, and cognition. In this study, we report a novel finding that AVP induces glutamate release from astrocytes isolated from the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. We also investigated the types of AVP receptors involved in the AVP-induced increase in glutamate release from astrocytes isolated from the hippocampus and cortex of neonatal rats. We showed that the AVP (0.1-1000 nmol/L) induced increase in glutamate release and [Ca(2+)](i) is brought about by two distinct subtypes of V(1) receptors (V(1a) and V(1b)). Our results suggested that V(1b) receptors are predominantly expressed in astrocytes isolated from the hippocampus and V(1a) receptors are solely expressed in astrocytes isolated from the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats. The results of the western blot analyses confirmed these pharmacological data. In addition, the AVP-induced increase in glutamate did not contribute to an increase in [Ca(2+)](i), as blockade of metabotropic glutamate receptors did not alter the AVP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In addition, the administration of a phospholipase A(2) inhibitor failed to alter AVP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase suggesting the lack of involvement of this enzyme.

Abstract
In renal epithelia, vasopressin influences salt and water transport, chiefly via vasopressin V(2) receptors (V(2)Rs) linked to adenylyl cyclase. A combination of vasopressin-induced effects along several distinct portions of the nephron and collecting duct system may help balance the net effects of antidiuresis in cortex and medulla. Previous studies of the intrarenal distribution of V(2)Rs have been inconclusive with respect to segment- and cell-type-related V(2)R expression. Our study therefore aimed to present a high-resolution analysis of V(2)R mRNA expression in rat, mouse, and human kidney epithelia, supplemented with immunohistochemical data. Cell types of the renal tubule were identified histochemically using specific markers. Pronounced V(2)R signal in thick ascending limb (TAL) was corroborated functionally; phosphorylation of Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter type 2 (NKCC2) was established in cultured TAL cells from rabbit and in rats with diabetes insipidus that were treated with the V(2)R agonist desmopressin. We found solid expression of V(2)R mRNA in medullary TAL (MTAL), macula densa, connecting tubule, and cortical and medullary collecting duct and weaker expression in cortical TAL and distal convoluted tubule in all three species. Additional V(2)R immunostaining of kidneys and rabbit TAL cells confirmed our findings. In agreement with strong V(2)R expression in MTAL, kidneys from rats with diabetes insipidus and cultured TAL cells revealed sharp, selective increases in NKCC2 phosphorylation upon desmopressin treatment. Macula densa cells constitutively showed strong NKCC2 phosphorylation. Results suggest comparably significant effects of vasopressin-induced V(2)R signaling in MTAL and in connecting tubule/collecting duct principal cells across the three species. Strong V(2)R expression in macula densa may be related to tubulovascular signal transfer.

Abstract
Vasopressin V(1a) and V(2) receptors (V(1a)R and V(2)R, respectively) distribute in the collecting duct of the kidney. Although the function of V(2)R mediating the antidiuretic effect of AVP has been investigated in detail, the role of V(1a)R in the collecting ducts has not been elucidated. In the present study, we have investigated the role of the V(1a)R pathway in V(2)R promoter activity. We cloned the 5'-flanking region of rat V(2)R (rV(2)R) and investigated rV(2)R promoter activity in the LLC-PK(1) cell line transfected to express rat V(1a)R (rV(1a)R) dominantly (LLC-PK(1)/rV(1a)R). AVP induced a transient increase, followed by a sustained decrease, of rV(2)R promoter activity in these cells. This AVP-induced decrease of rV(2)R promoter activity was inhibited by V(1a)R, but not V(2)R, antagonist. PMA mimicked this decrease of rV(2)R promoter activity. On the contrary, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP increased rV(2)R promoter activity. These PMA- and 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP-induced effects were not observed on the deletion segment of the 5'-flanking region lacking CAAT and SP1 sites. In conclusion, 1) expression of the V(2)R is downregulated via the V(1a)R pathway in LLC-PK(1)/rV(1a)R cells, and 2) expression of the V(2)R is downregulated by the PMA-induced PKC pathway and upregulated by the cAMP-PKA pathway. These opposite effects of PKC and PKA appear to be regulated by the same promoter region of CAAT and SP1.

Abstract
Vasopressin and vasopressin antagonists are finding expanded use in mouse models of disease and in clinical medicine. To provide further insight into the physiological role of V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors in the human and mouse kidney, intrarenal localization of the receptors mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization. V2-receptor mRNA was predominantly expressed in the medulla, whereas mRNA for V1a receptors predominated in the cortex. The segmental localization of vasopressin-receptor mRNAs was determined using simultaneous in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for segment-specific markers, including aquaporin-2, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, epithelial Na channels, Tamm Horsfall glycoprotein, and thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl−cotransporter. Notably, V1a receptor expression was exclusively expressed in V-ATPase/anion exchanger-1-labeled alpha-intercalated cells of the medullary collecting duct in both mouse and human kidney. In cortical collecting ducts, V1a mRNA was more widespread and detected in both principal and intercalated cells. V2-receptor mRNA is diffusely expressed along the collecting ducts in both mouse and human kidney, with higher expression levels in the medulla. These results demonstrate heterogenous axial expression of both V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors along the human and mouse collecting duct. The restricted expression of V1a-receptor mRNA in intercalated cells suggests a role for this receptor in acid-base balance. These findings further suggest distinct regulation of renal transport function by AVP through V1a and V2 receptors in the cortex vs. the medulla.

Abstract
An increased understanding of the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for the development of polycystic kidney disease has laid out the foundation for the development of rational therapies. Many animal models where these therapies can be tested are currently available. This review summarizes the rationale for these treatments, the results of preclinical trials and the prospects for clinical trials, some already in early phases of implementation.

Abstract
The vasopressin-aquaporin 2 system plays a key role in urine concentration in dehydration. In contrast to the upregulation of aquaporin 2, the downregulation of the vasopressin V2 receptor in dehydration is known. We investigated the mechanisms of this downregulation in dehydration using reverse transcription-competitive polymerase chain reaction (RT-competitive PCR) and Western blot analysis. The incubation of microdissected inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs) in a hypertonic medium or with vasopressin stimulated V2 receptor mRNA and protein expression, showing that dehydration-induced hyperosmolality in renal medulla and increased plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentration should upregulate V2 receptor. The presence of inhibitory factors on the V2 receptor in dehydration was suggested. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is known to inhibit AVP-induced cAMP production and to increase production in dehydration. PGE(2) slightly stimulated V2 receptor mRNA expression in IMCD in vitro. However, PGE(2) inhibited V2 receptor mRNA expression in IMCD in the presence of 10(-9) M vasopressin. The blockade of PGE(2) synthesis by indomethacin in dehydrated rats increased V2 receptor protein expression after 24-48 h with an early increase in V2 receptor mRNA expression. In summary, these data suggest that increased production of PGE(2) in renal medulla plays a key role in the downregulation of V2 receptor in dehydration.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease are the best known of a large family of inherited diseases characterized by the development of renal cysts of tubular epithelial cell origin. Autosomal dominant and recessive polycystic kidney diseases have overlapping but distinct pathogeneses. Identification of the causative mutated genes and elucidation of the function of their encoded proteins is shedding new light on the mechanisms that underlie tubular epithelial cell differentiation. This review summarizes recent literature on the role of primary cilia, intracellular calcium homeostasis, and signaling involving Wnt, cyclic AMP and Ras/MAPK, in the pathogenesis of polycystic kidney disease. Improved understanding of pathogenesis and the availability of animal models orthologous to the human diseases provide an excellent opportunity for the development of pathophysiology-based therapies. Some of these have proven effective in preclinical studies, and clinical trials have begun.

Abstract
Hyperosmolality in the renal medullary interstitium is generated by the renal countercurrent multiplication system, in which the medullary thick ascending limb (MAL) and the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) primarily participate. Since arginine vasopressin (AVP) regulates Na-K-ATPase activity directly via protein kinase A and indirectly via hyperosmolality, we investigated the acute and chronic effects of hyperosmolality on Na-K-ATPase and AVP-dependent cAMP generation in the MAL and OMCD. Microdissected MAL and OMCD from control and dehydrated rats were used for the measurement of Na-K-ATPase activity, mRNA expression of alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 subunits of Na-K-ATPase, and AVP-dependent cAMP generation. Na-K-ATPase activity in the MAL from dehydrated rats, as measured in isotonic medium, was higher than that of control rats. Moreover, incubation of samples in hypertonic medium (490 mOsm/kg H2O) further increased Na-K-ATPase activity. Dehydration increased alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 mRNA expression in the MAL without changing that in the OMCD. Western blot analysis revealed that in the outer medulla, the expression of beta-1, but not that of alpha-1 or beta-2, was stimulated by dehydration. Incubation of MAL or OMCD in hypertonic medium increased AVP-dependent cAMP generation. Higher levels of AVP-dependent cAMP were generated in the MAL from dehydrated rats than that of controls, although incubation in hypertonic medium did not lead to additional increases in AVP-dependent cAMP accumulation. In contrast, AVP-dependent cAMP generation in the OMCD was stimulated by dehydration, and was further stimulated by incubation in hypertonic medium. These findings demonstrate that Na-K-ATPase is upregulated short- and long-term hyperosmolality in the MAL, but not in OMCD.

Abstract
Exaggerated arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced calcium signaling and renal vasoconstriction, characteristic in young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) during euvolemia, are related to greater amounts of V1a receptor mRNA and V1a protein in preglomerular resistance arterioles. The present study determined whether V1a receptor density and calcium signal transduction in the renal vasculature of young SHR is regulated appropriately during physiological changes in hydration state. [3H]AVP ligand binding documented two- to threefold greater density of V1a receptors in euvolemic SHR vs. Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Parallel changes in V1a receptor density were observed in both strains during chronic water loading (plus approximately 50 fmol/mg) and during dehydration (minus approximately 50 fmol/mg). Affinity was unchanged. Real-time RT-PCR demonstrated that V1a mRNA in preglomerular arterioles was three times greater in euvolemic SHR. Dehydration decreased expression approximately 50% in renal vessels independent of rat strain; water loading increased V1a mRNA. Thus V1a receptor regulation correlated with changes in mRNA in a normal manner in response to chronic changes in AVP concentration, albeit set at a higher level in SHR. In dehydrated animals, AVP increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by 60 +/- 5 and 112 +/- 13 nM cytosolic Ca2+ in WKY and SHR, respectively (P < 0.01), whereas in hydrated animals the [Ca2+]i increase was 168 +/- 10 and 220 +/- 18 nM, respectively (P < 0.05). In all hydration states, calcium signaling was greater in SHR compared with WKY (P < 0.05). Calcium signaling paralleled changes in the receptor density and mRNA. Mechanisms other than hydration state per se are likely to be responsible for the two- to threefold difference in the V1a receptor density between WKY and SHR in the renal vasculature at the critical age of 6 wk.

Abstract
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases are ubiquitous multisubunit complexes mediating the ATP-dependent transport of protons. In addition to their role in acidifying the lumen of various intracellular organelles, vacuolar H(+)-ATPases fulfill special tasks in the kidney. Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases are expressed in the plasma membrane in the kidney almost along the entire length of the nephron with apical and/or basolateral localization patterns. In the proximal tubule, a high number of vacuolar H(+)-ATPases are also found in endosomes, which are acidified by the pump. In addition, vacuolar H(+)-ATPases contribute to proximal tubular bicarbonate reabsorption. The importance in final urinary acidification along the collecting system is highlighted by monogenic defects in two subunits (ATP6V0A4, ATP6V1B1) of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis. The activity of vacuolar H(+)-ATPases is tightly regulated by a variety of factors such as the acid-base or electrolyte status. This regulation is at least in part mediated by various hormones and protein-protein interactions between regulatory proteins and multiple subunits of the pump.

Abstract
Experiments were performed to get insight into the role of AVP receptor V1aregulation with age, i.e., during development and maintenance of high blood pressure. Previous studies showed an increased gene expression and renal vascular response to AVP in young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The age regulation of the V1areceptor was examined in preglomerular vessels from 5-, 10-, 20-, and 70-wk-old SHR using normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) as controls. Real-time PCR and ligand binding were used for analysis of receptor expression, and the change in cytosolic calcium concentration during stimulation of isolated preglomerular vessels with AVP was studied. Studies showed an increase of the V1areceptor protein and mRNA from 5-and 10-wk-old SHR compared with vessels from 20- and 70-wk-old SHR. In 5-wk-old SHR receptor density was 84 ± 13 fmol/mg protein, and 38 ± 11 fmol/mg protein in 70-wk-old SHR ( P < 0.05). mRNA in the 5- and 70-wk-old SHR was 15,854 ± 629 and 3,181 ± 224 V1amRNA/108 18S ribosomal RNA, respectively ( P < 0.001). Values from WKY at all ages were similar to 20- and 70-wk-old SHR. During stimulation with AVP, the change in cytosolic calcium in vessels from 5-wk-old SHR increased 234 ± 59 nM, whereas the increase was 89 ± 9 nM in 70-wk-old SHR ( P = 0.03). These results indicate that the V1areceptor is increased at protein and mRNA level during development of hypertension in SHR but is normalized when hypertension is established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Na- and Cl-dependent organic solute cotransporters participate in transporting neurotransmitters in the brain and organic osmolytes in the kidney. METHODS We examined the intranephron localization and regulation of the renal osmotic-stress-induced Na-Cl organic solute cotransporter (ROSIT) mRNA expression using microdissected nephron segments from control and dehydrated rats and RT-PCR. To further know the mechanisms of gene regulation of ROSIT, microdissected proximal straight tubules (PST) were incubated in isotonic (290 mosm/kg H2O) or hyperosmotic (490- 1,090 mosm/kg H2O) solution. RESULTS ROSIT mRNA was expressed predominantly in PST and to a lesser extent in cortical thick ascending limbs and cortical collecting ducts in control rats, and dehydration caused an increase in the expression in whole nephron segments. ROSIT mRNA in PST was decreased with time by incubation in isotonic solution. Incubation of PST in hypertonic solution by adding NaCl increased mRNA expression as early as 15 min (1.5- and 3-fold at 15 and 30 min, respectively). This stimulating effect of NaCl was largest at 890 mosm/kg H2O. Hypertonicity by mannitol or myoinositol also increased ROSIT mRNA expression. In contrast, hyperosmolality by urea reduced ROSIT mRNA expression. GAPDH mRNA expression, an internal standard, did not change by incubation in NaCl or mannitol solution. CONCLUSION In summary, ROSIT mRNA expression was most abundant in PST in control and it was stimulated in whole nephron segments by dehydration. ROSIT mRNA expression in PST was stimulated by hypertonicity but not by urea. These data suggest that ROSIT may participate in the transport of amino acid under control conditions and organic osmolytes in dehydration.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is associated with alteration in fluid and electrolyte reabsorption in a number of nephron segments. However, the effects of metabolic acidosis on urine osmolality and aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) remain poorly understood. In these studies, we examined the effects of chronic metabolic acidosis on water handling by the kidney. Rats were placed in metabolic cages and subjected to water (control) or 280 mM NH(4)Cl loading for 120 h to induce metabolic acidosis. The results indicated a significant increase in urine osmolality with no change in urine volume or urinary Na(+) excretion in acid-loaded animals. This effect was independent of alteration in fluid intake or salt/Cl(-) loading. Immunoblotting and Northern hybridization studies indicated that AQP-2 protein abundance and mRNA expression levels increased significantly along the collecting duct system of NH(4)Cl-but not NaCl-loaded animals. RIA results indicated that metabolic acidosis was associated with a fourfold increase in circulating levels of vasopressin (AVP) and a significant increase in brain AVP mRNA expression levels. In conclusion, metabolic acidosis upregulates the expression levels of AQP-2 and increases urine osmolality, suggesting an adaptive increase in water reabsorption in the collecting duct. A concomitant increase in AVP synthesis and secretion likely plays an essential role in the adaptation of AQP-2 in metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and resistance to the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are well-characterized features in advanced chronic renal failure (CRF). Their pathogenesis has been attributed to both PTH receptor (PTH-R) down-regulation and postreceptor abnormalities. In this study, we examined the renal expression of the PTH-R mRNA in CRF (5/6 nephrectomy) rats. Experiments were also performed to determine whether an acidic condition and PTH itself influence PTH-R mRNA expression. RT-competitive PCR was used to examine mRNA expression, and polyclonal antibody against PTH-R was used for Western blot. PTH-R mRNA expression was abundant in glomeruli, proximal convoluted and straight tubules (PCT, PST), small in medullary and cortical thick ascending limbs, and cortical collecting ducts and not detectable in outer and inner medullary collecting ducts. The expression was significantly decreased in PCT and PST in CRF rats. Decrease in PTH-R mRNA expression was observed 1 week after the induction of CRF. PTH-R protein was decreased at 2 (-23%) and 4 (-45%) weeks in renal cortex, but not in medulla in CRF rats. PTH-R mRNA expression in PST was decreased by low pH (7.1 or 6.7) incubation compared with that at pH 7.4. PTH(1-34) (10(-9) M) increased PTH-R mRNA expression in PST from control rats by 250%. The stimulatory effect of PTH on PTH-R mRNA expression was decreased by the incubation at low pH medium. In summary, renal PTH-R is down-regulated in CRF rats. The decrease in mRNA expression in PCT and PST causes the decrease in PTH-R protein. Metabolic acidosis may participate in the down-regulation of PTH-R in early stage of CRF. This abnormality could be important in the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism of CRF.
