Abstract
1. Cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2)-derived prostaglandins are important in controlling sodium excretion and renin release. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a clinical dose of celecoxib would impair urinary sodium excretion and elevate blood pressure (BP) during dietary salt loading. 2. Twelve normotensive individuals (mean (± SEM) age 35 ± 2 years) completed two separate 17 day dietary perturbations, one taking 200 mg/day celecoxib (CX2) and the other taking placebo (PL), randomized with a 1 month wash out. The controlled 17 day diet consisted of a 3 day run-in diet, 7 days of a low-salt (LS, 20 mmol sodium/day) diet and 7 days of a high-salt diet (HS, 350 mmol sodium/day) diet. The order in which the diets were applied was randomized. Data were collected on the last day of the LS and HS diets. 3. Plasma and urinary prostaglandins were modestly lower during celecoxib (P < 0.05). Urinary sodium excretion was greater (P < 0.01) during the HS diet (253 ± 10 vs 281 ± 27 mmol/24 h for PL vs CX2, respectively) compared with the LS diet (14 ± 3 vs 17 ± 7 mmol/24 h for PL vs CX2, respectively; P(drug) = 0.26). Celecoxib did not alter creatinine clearance (P > 0.50). Twenty-four hour mean arterial BP was similar during PL (87 ± 2 vs 87 ± 2 mmHg for LS and HS, respectively) and CX2 (88 ± 2 vs 87 ± 2 mmHg for LS and HS, respectively; P = 0.85), with no effect of dietary salt (P > 0.80). Plasma renin activity, angiotensin II and aldosterone were all suppressed with dietary salt loading (P < 0.05), with no effect of drug (P > 0.35). 4. In conclusion, blood pressure and renal function were not adversely affected by celecoxib, even during dietary salt loading. These findings support current guidelines suggesting minimal cardiovascular risks associated with short-term, low-dose use of celecoxib in young to middle-aged adults.

Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) play a number of roles in the kidney, including regulation of salt and water reabsorption. In this report, evidence was obtained for stimulatory effects of PGs on Na-K-ATPase in primary cultures of rabbit renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. The results of our real-time PCR studies indicate that in primary RPTs the effects of PGE(2), the major renal PG, are mediated by four classes of PGE (EP) receptors. The role of these EP receptors in the regulation of Na-K-ATPase was examined at the transcriptional level. Na-K-ATPase consists of a catalytic α-subunit encoded by the ATP1A1 gene, as well as a β-subunit encoded by the ATP1B1 gene. Transient transfection studies conducted with pHβ1-1141 Luc, a human ATP1B1 promoter/luciferase construct, indicate that both PGE(1) and PGE(2) are stimulatory. The evidence for the involvement of both the cAMP and Ca(2+) signaling pathways includes the inhibitory effects of the myristolylated PKA inhibitor PKI, the adenylate cyclase (AC) inhibitor SQ22536, and the PKC inhibitors Gö 6976 and Ro-32-0432 on the PGE(1) stimulation. Other effectors that similarly act through cAMP and PKC were also stimulatory to transcription, including norepinephrine and dopamine. In addition to its effects on transcription, a chronic incubation with PGE(1) was observed to result in an increase in Na-K-ATPase mRNA levels as well as an increase in Na-K-ATPase activity. An acute stimulatory effect of PGE(1) on Na-K-ATPase was observed and was associated with an increase in the level of Na-K-ATPase in the basolateral membrane.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN This work explored the role of inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COXs) in modulating the inflammatory response triggered by acute kidney injury. MATERIAL C57Bl/6 mice were used. TREATMENT Animals were treated or not with indomethacin (IMT) prior to injury (days -1 and 0). METHODS Animals were subjected to 45 min of renal pedicle occlusion and sacrificed at 24 h after reperfusion. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, reactive oxygen species (ROS), kidney myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) levels were analyzed. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, t-bet, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-1beta, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and prostaglandin E synthase (PGES) messenger RNA (mRNA) were studied. Cytokines were quantified in serum. RESULTS IMT-treated animals presented better renal function with less acute tubular necrosis and reduced ROS and MPO production. Moreover, the treatment was associated with lower expression of TNF-alpha, PGE(2), PGES, and t-bet and upregulation of HO-1 and IL-10. This profile was mirrored in serum, where inhibition of COXs significantly decreased interferon (IFN)-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-12 p70 and upregulated IL-10. CONCLUSIONS COXs seem to play an important role in renal ischemia and reperfusion injury, involving the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, activation of neutrophils, and ROS production. Inhibition of COX pathway is intrinsically involved with cytoprotection.

Abstract
While detectable levels of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been reported in various aquatic habitats, little is known about the mechanism of action of these pharmaceutical drugs on organisms. Recently we demonstrated that NSAIDs disrupt corticosteroidogenesis in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). As cortisol is a seawater adapting hormone, we hypothesized that exposure to NSAIDs will impair the hyposmoregulatory capacity of this species in seawater. Trout were exposed to either waterborne salicylate or ibuprofen in fresh water for four days and the salinity switched to 50% seawater for two days, followed by 100% seawater and sampled two days later. NSAIDs disturbed the seawater-induced elevation in plasma osmolality and concentrations of Cl(-) and K(+), but not Na(+) in rainbow trout. This was accompanied by enhanced gill glycolytic capacity and reduced liver glycogen content in seawater with NSAIDs, suggesting enhanced metabolic demand to fuel ion pumps. While salicylate did not affect gill Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity, ibuprofen inhibited the seawater-induced elevation in gill Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity. The drugs also further enhanced the seawater-induced elevation in plasma cortisol concentration; this response was greater with salicylate compared to ibuprofen. There were no changes in the transcript levels of key proteins involved in steroidogenesis with NSAIDs, whereas gill and brain GR protein expression expression was reduced with salicylate. Altogether, salicylate and ibuprofen exposures impaired the hyposmoregulatory capacity of rainbow trout in seawater, but the mode of action of the two drugs in bringing about these changes appears distinct in trout.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is quantitatively one of the major prostaglandins synthesized in mammalian brain, and there is evidence that it facilitates seizures and neuronal death. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in such excitatory effects. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is a membrane protein which plays a key role in electrolyte homeostasis maintenance and, therefore, regulates neuronal excitability. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that PGE(2) decreases Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity, in order to shed some light on the mechanisms underlying the excitatory action of PGE(2). Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was determined by assessing ouabain-sensitive ATP hydrolysis. We found that incubation of adult rat hippocampal slices with PGE(2) (0.1-10 microM) for 30 min decreased Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. However, PGE(2) did not alter Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity if added to hippocampal homogenates. The inhibitory effect of PGE(2) on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was not related to a decrease in the total or plasma membrane immunocontent of the catalytic alpha subunit of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. We found that the inhibitory effect of PGE(2) (1 microM) on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was receptor-mediated, as incubation with selective antagonists for EP1 (SC-19220, 10 microM), EP3 (L-826266, 1 microM) or EP4 (L-161982, 1 microM) receptors prevented the PGE(2)-induced decrease of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. On the other hand, incubation with the selective EP2 agonist (butaprost, 0.1-10 microM) increased enzyme activity per se in a concentration-dependent manner, but did not prevent the inhibitory effect of PGE(2). Incubation with a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (H-89, 1 microM) and a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (GF-109203X, 300 nM) also prevented PGE(2)-induced decrease of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Accordingly, PGE(2) increased phosphorylation of Ser943 at the alpha subunit, a critical residue for regulation of enzyme activity. Importantly, we also found that PGE(2) decreases Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in vivo. The results presented here imply Na(+),K(+)-ATPase as a target for PGE(2)-mediated signaling, which may underlie PGE(2)-induced increase of brain excitability.

Abstract
This work aimed at studying the effect of PGE2 on water and chloride absorption from the rat distal colon and at investigating the involvement of the cytoskeleton in the modulation of colonic transporters. PGE2 increased significantly net water and chloride absorption. It increased also the activity of the Na+K+-ATPase and the expression of the Na+K+2Cl- cotransporter. The increase in pump activity was ascribed to its phosphorylation by PKA or PKC when activated upon binding of PGE2 to its receptors, and was deemed responsible for the increase in Cl- absorption. Cytochalasin B (CytoB), a disrupter of microfilaments, decreased net water and chloride absorption in presence or absence of PGE2. Furthermore it down-regulated both pump and cotransporter, and lowered Na+K+-ATPase activity. It was suggested that an intact actin cytoskeleton is required for the basal and the PGE2-elicited trafficking of both transporters. On the other hand, colchicine, an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization, had no effect on the absorption of water and chloride but abrogated the stimulatory effect of PGE2. Colchicine exerted a similar effect to that of cytochlasin on the expression of both pump and cotransporter in presence or absence of PGE2 except for the basal activity of the pump which was not altered by microtubule disruption. It was concluded that both microfilament and microtubular networks are involved in the basal and PGE2-elicited increase in colonic ion absorption.

Abstract
The stimulatory effect of PGE1 on the activity of the Na,K-ATPase in MDCK cells is associated with an increase in the rate of transcription of the Na,K-ATPase beta1 subunit gene and an increase in the rate of biosynthesis of the Na,K-ATPase [M.L. Taub, Y. Wang, I.S. Yang, P. Fiorella, S.M. Lee, Regulation of the Na,K-ATPase activity of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells in defined medium by prostaglandin E1 and 8-bromocyclic AMP, J. Cell. Physiol. 151 (1992) 337-346]. In order to further define the molecular mechanisms, transient transfection and biosynthesis studies were conducted with dibutyryl cAMP resistant (DBr) MDCK cells, defective in cAMP dependent protein kinase, and PGE1 independent (PGE1 Ind) MDCK cells with elevated intracellular cAMP. Transient transfection studies with the human Na,K-ATPase beta1 promoter/luciferase construct, pHbeta1-1141 Luc [J. Feng, J. Orlowski, J.B. Lingrel, Identification of a functional thyroid hormone response element in the upstream flanking region of the human Na,K-ATPase beta 1 gene, Nucleic Acids Res. 21 (1993) 2619-2626], showed that the stimulatory effect of PGE1 and 8Br-cAMP on beta1 subunit gene transcription is retained in the DBr and PGE1 independent variants. However, the stimulatory effect of PGE1 and 8Br-cAMP on Na,K-ATPase biosynthesis was lost in DBr (unlike PGE1 Ind) variants. These results can be explained by a defect in post-transcriptional regulation.

Abstract
Prostaglandins are key regulators of ion transport in the kidney. In MDCK cells, which model distal tubule cells, the transcription of the Na,K-ATPase beta1 subunit is regulated by PGE1 and PGE2. To identify the EP receptors that mediate transcriptional regulation, transient transfection studies are conducted using the human beta1promoter/luciferase construct, pHbeta1-1141 Luc. The involvement of EP1 and EP2 receptors is indicated by studies with the EP1 selective agonist 17-phenyl trinor PGE2, and the EP2 selective agonist butaprost (which stimulate), as well as by studies with the antagonists SC-51089 (EP1 specific) and AH 6809 (EP1 and EP2 specific). Consistent with the involvement of Gs coupled EP2 receptors, is that the PGE1 stimulation is inhibited by the PKAI expression vector (encoding the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitory protein), as well as by the myristolated PKA inhibitory peptide PKI. In addition to this evidence (for the involvement of EP2 receptors), evidence for the involvement of EP1 receptors in the PGE1 mediated stimulation of Na,K-ATPase beta subunit gene transcription includes the stimulatory effect of 17-phenyl trinor PGE2, as well as the inhibitory effects of SC-51089. Also consistent with the involvement of Gq coupled EP1 receptors, the PGE1 stimulation is inhibited by the PKCI vector (encoding the PKC inhibitory domain), the PKC inhibitor Go 6976, thapsigargin, as well as the calmodulin antagonists W7 and W13.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase is a transmembrane protein responsible for maintaining electrochemical gradients across the plasma membrane in all mammalian cells, a process that is subject to regulation at the transcriptional as well as post-transcriptional level. Included among physiologic regulators in the kidney are prostaglandins. Previously, we demonstrated that prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) increases the activity and expression of the Na,K-ATPase in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (Taub, M., Borsick, M., Geisel, J., Matlhagela, K., Rajkhowa, T., and Allen, C. (2004) Exp. Cell Res. 299, 1-14; Taub, M. L., Wang, Y., Yang, I. S., Fiorella, P., and Lee, S. M. (1992) J. Cell. Physiol. 151, 337-346). In this work, we present evidence that transcription of the Na,K-ATPase beta(1) subunit is stimulated by PGE(1), an effect that may be mediated through the cAMP and Ca(2+) pathways. Transient transfection studies using 5'-deletion mutants of the human beta(1) subunit promoter indicated that region -100 to -92 containing the sequence AGTCCCTGC (a prostaglandin-responsive element (PGRE)) is required to elicit the stimulatory effects of PGE(1), 8-bromo-cAMP, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and okadaic acid. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that both the cAMP regulatory element-binding protein (CREB) and Sp1 bind to the PGRE present within this region of the beta(1) subunit promoter. The involvement of the PGRE and Sp1 sites in regulation by PGE(1) was further confirmed by the increased PGE(1) stimulation that was observed following insertion of the PGRE into a promoter/luciferase construct containing a portion of a heterologous promoter and the fibronectin promoter with four GC boxes. Further evidence suggesting an interaction between Sp1 and CREB was obtained from experiments conducted with pLuc-MCS-beta 72-167, which contains region -167 to -72 in the human beta(1) subunit promoter. The PGE(1) stimulation observed in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells transiently transfected with pLuc-MCS-beta 72-167 was reduced when the two GC boxes immediately upstream from the PGRE were translocated farther upstream. Also consistent with an interaction between CREB and Sp1 are the results of our immunoprecipitation studies indicating that CREB co-immunoprecipitated with Sp1 when an antibody against CREB, Sp1, or the CREB-binding protein was used.

Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) play a significant role in the regulation of sodium reabsorption by the kidney, in addition to accumulating during inflammation as well as in several solid tumors. Previously, we presented evidence indicating that prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), a supplement in the serum-free medium for MDCK cells, increases the activity of the Na,K-ATPase in MDCK cells, in addition to its growth stimulatory effect [J. Cell. Physiol. 151 (1992) 337]. This report defines the molecular mechanisms, and signaling pathways responsible for the increased Na,K-ATPase activity. Our results indicate that the increased activity of the Na,K-ATPase in MDCK monolayers treated with either PGE(1) or 8Bromocyclic AMP (8Br-cAMP) can be attributed to an increase in the rate of biosynthesis of the Na,K-ATPase, and an increase in the levels of Na,K-ATPase alpha and beta subunit mRNAs. As beta subunit mRNA increased to a larger extent than alpha subunit mRNA, transient transfection studies were conducted using a human beta1 promoter/luciferase construct [Nucleic Acids Res. 21 (1993) 2619]. While an 8Br-cAMP stimulation was observed (suggesting the involvement of cAMP), our results also suggest that the observed PGE(1) stimulation could be explained by the involvement of Ca(2+) as well protein kinase C (PKC). Consistent with the involvement of Ca(2+), TMB-8 (which inhibits Ca(2+) efflux from intracellular stores) inhibited the PGE(1) stimulation. Moreover, PGE(1) was observed to stimulate the translocation of PKC beta1 from the soluble to the particulate fraction. The translocation of PKC, the PGE(1) stimulation of transcription, and the PGE(1)-mediated increase in the beta subunit mRNA level were all inhibited by the PKC inhibitor Gö6989. These results can be explained by the involvement of two classes of cell surface receptors in mediating the PGE(1) stimulation, including the EP1subtype (which activates phospholipase C), as well as the EP2 subtype (which activates adenylate cyclase).

Abstract
Renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure (RIHP) is a link between increased arterial BP and natriuresis. The mechanism whereby increases in RIHP inhibits sodium and water transport across the mammalian proximal tubule epithelium may involve changes in flux across the tight junction of the proximal tubule. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of increases in RIHP and inhibition of cyclooxygenase on paracellular backflux of an extracellular marker from the renal interstitium into the proximal tubule of the rat. During in vivo microperfusion of proximal tubules, the extracellular tracer of paracellular flux, lanthanum (La), was infused directly into the renal interstitium via a chronically implanted matrix. The net paracellular interstitium-to-lumen lanthanum backflux was measured before and after direct renal interstitial volume expansion (DRIVE) in the absence and presence of indomethacin. DRIVE significantly increased RIHP by 37% (Delta1.8 +/- 0.2 mmHg) and interstitium-to-lumen La backflux by 32% (Delta40.2 +/- 16.6 pg/min per mm), and it significantly decreased proximal reabsorption by 27% (Delta-7.7 +/- 3.8 nl/min; n = 6). In indomethacin-treated rats (n = 6), DRIVE again significantly increased RIHP by 40% (Delta1.9 +/- 0.2 mmHg), but it did not increase La backflux (Delta-39.0 +/- 24.4 pg/min per mm) or significantly decrease proximal reabsorption (Delta1.2 +/- 2.3 nl/min). These results demonstrate that increased RIHP increases paracellular backflux of lanthanum from the renal interstitium to the proximal tubule lumen in association with decreases in proximal reabsorption. Furthermore, indomethacin blocks the effects of increased RIHP on proximal reabsorption and paracellular backflux of lanthanum through the intercellular tight junctions of the proximal tubule epithelium.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a number of physiological changes that may cause the kidney to rely to a greater extent on vasodilatory PGs for normal functioning. Acute exercise has been shown to cause renal vasoconstriction that may be partially buffered by vasodilatory PGs. To determine the relative importance of renal PGs during exercise in older adults, we compared the renal effects of the PG inhibitor ibuprofen (1.2 g/day for 3 days) vs. a placebo control in a cohort of eight younger (24 +/- 2 yr) and eight older (64 +/- 2 yr) women during treadmill exercise ( approximately 57% maximal oxygen consumption) in the heat (36 degrees C). This over-the-counter dose of ibuprofen reduced renal PG (i.e., PGE2) excretion by 47% (P < 0. 05). Acute exercise in the heat caused dramatic decreases in glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, and sodium excretion in both age groups. PG inhibition was associated with greater decreases in urine production and free water clearance (P < 0.05). There were no drug-related declines in glomerular filtration rate or renal blood flow. We conclude that PG inhibition has only modest effects on renal function during exercise. Also, the lack of hemodynamic changes with PG inhibition indicates that healthy well-hydrated older women are not in a renal PG-dependent state.
