Abstract
Abnormality in glucose homeostasis due to hyperglycemia or insulin resistance is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These metabolic abnormalities in T2DM lead to cellular dysfunction and the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure. New antihyperglycemic agents including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to attenuate endothelial dysfunction at the cellular level. In addition, they improved cardiovascular safety by exhibiting cardioprotective effects. The mechanism by which these drugs exert their cardioprotective effects is unknown, although recent studies have shown that cardiovascular homeostasis occurs through the interplay of the sodium-hydrogen exchangers (NHE), specifically NHE1 and NHE3, with SGLT2i. Another theoretical explanation for the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2i is through natriuresis by the kidney. This theory highlights the possible involvement of renal NHE transporters in the management of heart failure. This review outlines the possible mechanisms responsible for causing diabetic cardiomyopathy and discusses the interaction between NHE and SGLT2i in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchangers play pivotal roles in the control of cell and tissue pH by mediating the electroneutral exchange of Na+ and H+ across cellular membranes. They belong to an ancient family of highly evolutionarily conserved proteins, and they play essential physiological roles in all phyla. In this review, we focus on the mammalian Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs), the solute carrier (SLC) 9 family. This family of electroneutral transporters constitutes three branches: SLC9A, -B, and -C. Within these, each isoform exhibits distinct tissue expression profiles, regulation, and physiological roles. Some of these transporters are highly studied, with hundreds of original articles, and some are still only rudimentarily understood. In this review, we present and discuss the pioneering original work as well as the current state-of-the-art research on mammalian NHEs. We aim to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of core knowledge and recent insights into each family member, from gene organization over protein structure and regulation to physiological and pathophysiological roles. Particular attention is given to the integrated physiology of NHEs in the main organ systems. We provide several novel analyses and useful overviews, and we pinpoint main remaining enigmas, which we hope will inspire novel research on these highly versatile proteins.

Abstract
Background Urine citrate is reabsorbed exclusively along the renal proximal tubule via the apical Na+-dicarboxylate cotransporter NaDC-1. We previously showed that an acid load in vivo and media acidification in vitro increase NaDC-1 activity through endothelin-1 (ET-1)/endothelin B (ETB) signaling. Here, we further examined the signaling pathway mediating acid-induced NaDC-1 activity.Methods We transiently transfected cultured opossum kidney cells, a model of the proximal tubule, with NaDC-1 and ETB and measured [14C]-citrate uptake after media acidification under various experimental conditions, including inactivation of Pyk2 and c-Src, which were previously shown to be activated by media acidification. Wild-type (Pyk2+/+) and Pyk2-null (Pyk2-/-) mice were exposed to NH4Cl loading and euthanized after various end points, at which time we harvested the kidneys for immunoblotting and brush border membrane NaDC-1 activity studies.Results Inhibition of Pyk2 or c-Src prevented acid stimulation but not ET-1 stimulation of NaDC-1 in vitro Consistent with these results, NH4Cl loading stimulated NaDC-1 activity in kidneys of wild-type but not Pyk2-/- mice. In cultured cells and in mice, ERK1/2 was rapidly phosphorylated by acid loading, even after Pyk2 knockdown, and it was required for acid but not ET-1/ETB stimulation of NaDC-1 in vitro Media acidification also induced the phosphorylation of Raf1 and p90RSK, components of the ERK1/2 pathway, and inhibition of these proteins blocked acid stimulation of NaDC-1 activity.Conclusions Acid stimulation of NaDC-1 activity involves Pyk2/c-Src and Raf1-ERK1/2-p90RSK signaling pathways, but these pathways are not downstream of ET-1/ETB in this process.

Abstract
Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE)3, a major Na(+) transporter in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule, is subject to ANG II regulation in renal Na(+)/fluid absorption and blood pressure control. We have previously shown that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-binding protein released with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IRBIT) mediates ANG II-induced exocytosis of NHE3 in cultured proximal tubule epithelial cells. In searching for scaffold protein(s) that coordinates with IRBIT in NHE3 trafficking, we found that NHE regulatory factor (NHERF)1, NHE3, and IRBIT proteins were coexpressed in the same macrocomplexes and that loss of ANG II type 1 receptors decreased their expression in the renal brush-border membrane. We found that NHERF1 was required for ANG II-mediated forward trafficking and activation of NHE3 in cultured cells. ANG II induced a concomitant increase of NHERF1 interactions with NHE3 and IRBIT, which were abolished when the NHERF1 PDZ1 domain was removed. Overexpression of a yellow fluorescent protein-NHERF1 construct that lacks PDZ1, but not PDZ2, failed to exaggerate the ANG II-dependent increase of NHE3 expression in the apical membrane. Moreover, exogenous expression of PDZ1 exerted a dominant negative effect on NHE3 activation by ANG II. We further demonstrated that IRBIT was indispensable for the ANG II-provoked increase in NHERF1-NHE3 interactions and that phosphorylation of IRBIT at Ser(68) was necessary for the assembly of the NHEF1-IRBIT-NHE3 complex. Taken together, our findings suggest that NHERF1 mediates ANG II-induced activation of renal NHE3, which requires coordination between IRBIT and the NHERF1 PDZ1 domain in binding and transporting NHE3.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II), acting via the AT1 receptor, induces an increase in intracellular calcium [Ca(2+)]i that then interacts with calmodulin (CaM). The Ca(2+)/CaM complex directly or indirectly activates sodium hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) and phosphorylates calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII), which then regulates sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) activity. In this study, we investigated the cellular signaling pathways responsible for Ang II-mediated regulation of NHE1 and NHE3 in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The NHE1- and NHE3-dependent pHi recovery rates were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy using the fluorescent probe BCECF/AM, messenger RNA was evaluated with the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and protein expression was evaluated by immunoblot. We demonstrated that treatment with Ang II (1pM or 1 nM) for 30 min induced, via the AT1 but not the AT2 receptor, an equal increase in NHE1 and NHE3 activity that was reduced by the specific inhibitors HOE 694 and S3226, respectively. Ang II (1 nM) did not change the total expression of NHE1, NHE3 or calmodulin, but it induced CaMKII, cRaf-1, Erk1/2 and p90(RSK) phosphorylation. The stimulatory effects of Ang II (1 nM) on NHE1 or NHE3 activity or protein abundance was reduced by ophiobolin-A (CaM inhibitor), KN93 (CaMKII inhibitor) or PD98059 (Mek inhibitor). These results indicate that after 30 min, Ang II treatment may activate G protein-dependent pathways, including the AT1/PLC/Ca(2+)/CaM pathway, which induces CaMKII phosphorylation to stimulate NHE3 and induces cRaf-1/Mek/Erk1/2/p90(RSK) activity to stimulate NHE1.

Abstract
The Na+/H+ exchanger-3 (NHE3) belongs to the mammalian NHE protein family and catalyzes the electro-neutral exchange of extracellular sodium for intracellular proton across cellular membranes. Its transport function is of essential importance for the maintenance of the body's salt and water homeostasis as well as acid-base balance. Indeed, NHE3 activity is finely regulated by a variety of stimuli, both acutely and chronically, and its transport function is fundamental for a multiplicity of severe and world-wide infection-pathological conditions. This review aims to provide a concise overview of NHE3 physiology and discusses the role of NHE3 in clinical conditions of prominent importance, specifically in hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, heart failure, acute kidney injury, and diarrhea. Study of NHE3 function in models of these diseases has contributed to the deciphering of mechanisms that control the delicate ion balance disrupted in these disorders. The majority of the findings indicate that NHE3 transport function is activated before the onset of hypertension and inhibited thereafter; NHE3 transport function is also upregulated in diabetic nephropathy and heart failure, while it is reported to be downregulated in acute kidney injury and in diarrhea. The molecular mechanisms activated during these pathological conditions to regulate NHE3 transport function are examined with the aim of linking NHE3 dysfunction to the analyzed clinical disorders.

Abstract
Chronic activation of the renin-angiotensin system plays a deleterious role in progressive kidney damage, and the renal proximal tubule is known to play an important role in tubulointerstitial fibrosis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Here we report that in the proximal tubule-like LLCPKcl4 cells expressing angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor, Ang II induced changes in cell morphology and expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, which were inhibited by the miotogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-activating kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 or the Src kinase inhibitor PP2. Ang II-stimulated phosphorylation of caveolin-1 (Cav) at Y14 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at Y845 and induced association of these phosphoproteins in caveolin-enriched lipid rafts, thereby leading to prolonged EGFR-ERK signaling that was inhibited by Nox4 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and Src siRNA. Two different antioxidants not only inhibited phosphorylation of Src at Y416 but also blocked the EGFR-ERK signaling. Moreover, erlotinib (the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor), EGFR siRNA, and Cav siRNA all inhibited both prolonged EGFR-ERK signaling and phenotypic changes induced by Ang II. Thus, this report provides the first evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS)/Src-dependent activation of persistent Cav-EGFR-ERK signaling mediates renal tubular cell dedifferentiation and identifies a novel molecular mechanism that may be involved in progressive renal injury caused by chronic exposure to Ang II.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is associated with a reduced effective circulating volume that drives sodium and water retention and extracellular volume expansion. We therefore hypothesized that Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), the major apical transcellular pathway for sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule, is upregulated in an experimental model of HF. HF was induced in male rats by left ventricle radiofrequency ablation. Sham-operated rats (sham) were used as controls. At 6 wk after surgery, HF rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction with a dramatic increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. By means of stationary in vivo microperfusion and pH-dependent sodium uptake, we demonstrated that NHE3 transport activity was significantly higher in the proximal tubule of HF compared with sham rats. Increased NHE3 activity was paralleled by increased renal cortical NHE3 expression at both protein and mRNA levels. In addition, the baseline PKA-dependent NHE3 phosphorylation at serine 552 was reduced in renal cortical membranes of rats with HF. Collectively, these results suggest that NHE3 is upregulated in the proximal tubule of HF rats by transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational mechanisms. Enhanced NHE3-mediated sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule may contribute to extracellular volume expansion and edema, the hallmark feature of HF. Moreover, our study emphasizes the importance of undertaking a cardiorenal approach to contain progression of cardiac disease.

Abstract
Although renin, the rate-limiting enzyme of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), was first discovered by Robert Tigerstedt and Bergman more than a century ago, the research on the RAS still remains stronger than ever. The RAS, once considered to be an endocrine system, is now widely recognized as dual (circulating and local/tissue) or multiple hormonal systems (endocrine, paracrine and intracrine). In addition to the classical renin/angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)/angiotensin II (Ang II)/Ang II receptor (AT₁/AT₂) axis, the prorenin/(Pro)renin receptor (PRR)/MAP kinase axis, the ACE2/Ang (1-7)/Mas receptor axis, and the Ang IV/AT₄/insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) axis have recently been discovered. Furthermore, the roles of the evolving RAS have been extended far beyond blood pressure control, aldosterone synthesis, and body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Indeed, novel actions and underlying signaling mechanisms for each member of the RAS in physiology and diseases are continuously uncovered. However, many challenges still remain in the RAS research field despite of more than one century's research effort. It is expected that the research on the expanded RAS will continue to play a prominent role in cardiovascular, renal and hypertension research. The purpose of this article is to review the progress recently being made in the RAS research, with special emphasis on the local RAS in the kidney and the newly discovered prorenin/PRR/MAP kinase axis, the ACE2/Ang (1-7)/Mas receptor axis, the Ang IV/AT₄/IRAP axis, and intracrine/intracellular Ang II. The improved knowledge of the expanded RAS will help us better understand how the classical renin/ACE/Ang II/AT₁ receptor axis, extracellular and/or intracellular origin, interacts with other novel RAS axes to regulate blood pressure and cardiovascular and kidney function in both physiological and diseased states.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) exerts an acute bimodal effect on proximal tubule NHE3: while low doses stimulate the exchanger, high doses inhibit it. In the present study, we have investigated the chronic effects of Ang II on NHE3 expression and transcriptional regulation. Treatment of a tubular epithelial cell line, OKP, with Ang II 10(-11)M significantly increased NHE protein expression and mRNA levels, without evidence of bimodal effect. No change in mRNA half-life was detected, but transient transfection studies showed a significant increase in NHE3 promoter activity. Binding sites for Sp1/Egr-1 and AP2 transcription factors of the NHE3 proximal promoter were mutated and we observed that the Sp1/Egr-1 binding site integrity is necessary for Ang II stimulatory effects. Inhibition of cytochrome P450, PI3K, PKA and MAPK pathways prevented the Ang II stimulatory effect on the NHE3 promoter activity. Taking all the results together, our data reveal that chronic Ang II treatment exerts a stimulatory effect on NHE3 expression and promoter activity. The Ang II up-regulation of the NHE3 promoter activity appears to involve the Sp1/Egr-1 binding site and the interplay of several intracellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (ANG II) stimulates renal tubular reabsorption of NaCl by targeting Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3. We have shown previously that inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor-binding protein released with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IRBIT) plays a critical role in stimulation of NHE3 in response to elevated intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). In this study, we investigated the role of IRBIT in mediating NHE3 activation by ANG II. IRBIT is abundantly expressed in the proximal tubules where NHE3 is located. ANG II at physiological concentrations stimulates NHE3 transport activity in a model proximal tubule cell line. ANG II-induced activation of NHE3 was abrogated by knockdown of IRBIT, whereas overexpression of IRBIT enhanced the effect of ANG II on NHE3. ANG II transiently increased binding of IRBIT to NHE3 at 5 min but became dissociated by 45 min. In comparison, it took at least 15 min of ANG II treatment for an increase in NHE3 activity and NHE3 surface expression. The stimulation of NHE3 by ANG II was dependent on changes in [Ca(2+)](i) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases II. Inhibition of CaMKII completely blocked the ANG II-induced binding of IRBIT to NHE3 and the increase in NHE3 surface abundance. Several serine residues of IRBIT are thought to be important for IRBIT binding. Mutations of Ser-68, Ser-71, and Ser-74 of IRBIT decreased binding of IRBIT to NHE3 and its effect on NHE3 activity. In conclusion, our current findings demonstrate that IRBIT is critically involved in mediating activation of NHE3 by ANG II via a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases II-dependent pathway.

Abstract
The Na/K-ATPase was discovered as an energy transducing ion pump. A major difference between the Na/K-ATPase and other P-type ATPases is its ability to bind a group of chemicals called cardiotonic steroids (CTS). The plant-derived CTS such as digoxin are valuable drugs for the management of cardiac diseases, whereas ouabain and marinobufagenin (MBG) have been identified as a new class of endogenous hormones. Recent studies have demonstrated that the endogenous CTS are important regulators of renal Na(+) excretion and blood pressure. The Na/K-ATPase is not only an ion pump, but also an important receptor that can transduce the ligand-like effect of CTS on intracellular protein kinases and Ca(2+) signaling. Significantly, these CTS-provoked signaling events are capable of reducing the surface expression of apical NHE3 (Na/H exchanger isoform 3) and basolateral Na/K-ATPase in renal proximal tubular cells. These findings suggest that endogenous CTS may play an important role in regulation of tubular Na(+) excretion under physiological conditions; conversely, a defect at either the receptor level (Na/K-ATPase) or receptor-effector coupling would reduce the ability of renal proximal tubular cells to excrete Na(+), thus culminating/resulting in salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
The gut incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is released in response to ingested nutrients and enhances insulin secretion. In addition to its insulinotropic properties, GLP-1 has been shown to have natriuretic actions paralleled by a diminished proton secretion. We therefore studied the role of the GLP-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 in modulating the activity of Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 in LLC-PK1 cells. We found that NHE3-mediated Na+-dependent intracellular pH (pHi) recovery decreased ∼50% after 30-min treatment with 1 nM exendin-4. Pharmacological inhibitors and cAMP analogs that selectively activate protein kinase A (PKA) or the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) demonstrated that regulation of NHE3 activity by exendin-4 requires activation of both cAMP downstream effectors. This conclusion was based on the following observations: 1) the PKA antagonist H-89 completely prevented the effect of the PKA activator but only partially blocked the exendin-4-induced NHE3 inhibition; 2) the MEK1/2 inhibitor U-0126 abolished the effect of the EPAC activator but only diminished the exendin-4-induced NHE3 inhibition; 3) combination of H-89 and U-0126 fully prevented the effect of exendin-4 on NHE3; 4) no additive effect in the inhibition of NHE3 activity was observed when exendin-4, PKA, and EPAC activators were used together. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effect of exendin-4 on pHi recovery was associated with an increase of NHE3 phosphorylation. Conversely, this inhibition took place without changes in the surface expression of the transporter. We conclude that GLP-1 receptor agonists modulate sodium homeostasis in the kidney, most likely by affecting NHE3 activity.

Abstract
SUMMARY
NHE3 is a sodium–proton exchanger expressed predominantly in the apical membrane of renal and intestinal epithelia, where it plays a key role in salt and fluid absorption and pH homeostasis. It performs these functions through the exchange of luminal sodium for cytosolic protons. Acute regulation of NHE3 function is mediated by altering the total number of exchangers in the plasma membrane as well as their individual activity. Traffic between endomembrane and plasmalemmal pools of NHE3 dictates the density of exchangers available at the cell surface. The activity of the plasmalemmal pool, however,is not fixed and can be altered by the association with modifier proteins, by post-translational alterations (such as cAMP-mediated phosphorylation) and possibly also via interaction with specific plasmalemmal phospholipids. Interestingly, association with cytoskeletal components affects both levels of regulation, tethering NHE3 molecules at the surface and altering their intrinsic activity. This paper reviews the role of proteins and lipids in the modulation of NHE3 function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II (AII) effects on intestinal Na+ transport may be multifactorial. To determine if AII might have a direct effect on intestinal epithelial Na+ transport, we investigated its actions on Na+ transport in human intestinal epithelial Caco2BBE cells. RESULTS AII increased apical (brush border) sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE)-3, but not NHE2, activity within one hour. Similarly, only apical membrane NHE3 abundance increased at 1-2 hours without any change in total NHE3 protein abundance. From 4-48 hours, AII stimulated progressively larger increases in apical NHE3 activity and surface abundance, which was associated with increases in NHE3 protein expression. At 4-24 hours, NHE3 mRNA increases over baseline expression, suggesting increased gene transcription. This was supported by AII induced increases in rat NHE3 gene promoter-reporter activity. AII induction of NHE3 was blocked by the AII type I receptor antagonist losartan. Acute changes in AII-induced increases in NHE3 exocytosis were blocked by a phospholipase C inhibitor, an arachidonic acid cytochrome P450 epoxygenase inhibitor, as well as phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and Akt inhibitor, partially blocked by a metalloproteinase inhibitor and an EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor kinase inhibitor, but not affected by an inhibitor of MEK-1 (MAPKK-1, mitogen activated protein kinase kinase-1). CONCLUSION We conclude that angiotensin II has a direct role in regulating intestinal fluid and electrolyte absorption which may contribute to its overall effects in regulation systemic volume and blood pressure. AII activates several key signaling pathways that induce acute and chronic changes in NHE3 membrane trafficking and gene transcription.

Abstract
NHE3 is the brush-border (BB) Na+/H+exchanger of small intestine, colon, and renal proximal tubule which is involved in large amounts of neutral Na+absorption. NHE3 is a highly regulated transporter, being both stimulated and inhibited by signaling that mimics the postprandial state. It also undergoes downregulation in diarrheal diseases as well as changes in renal disorders. For this regulation, NHE3 exists in large, multiprotein complexes in which it associates with at least nine other proteins. This review deals with short-term regulation of NHE3 and the identity and function of its recognized interacting partners and the multiprotein complexes in which NHE3 functions.

Abstract
The regulation of volume is fundamental to life. There exist numerous conditions that can produce perturbations of cell volume. The cell has developed mechanisms to directly counteract these perturbations so as to maintain its physiological volume. Directed influx of the major extracellular cation, sodium, serves to counteract a decreased cell volume through the subsequent osmotically coupled movement of water to the intracellular space. This process, termed regulatory volume increase is often mediated by the ubiquitous sodium/hydrogen ion exchanger, NHE1. Similarly, the maintenance of intravascular volume is essential for the maintenance of blood pressure and consequently the proper perfusion of vital organs. Numerous mechanisms exist to counterbalance alterations in intravascular volume, not the least of which is the renal absorption of sodium filtered at the glomerulus. Two-thirds of filtered sodium and water are absorbed in the renal proximal tubule, a mechanism that intimately involves the apical sodium/hydrogen ion exchanger, NHE3. This isoform is fundamental to the maintenance and regulation of intravascular volume and blood pressure. In this article, the effects of cell volume on the activity of these different isoforms, NHE1 and NHE3, will be described and the consequences of their activity on intracellular and intravascular volume will be explored.

Abstract
Ouabain, a cardiotonic steroid and a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, has been shown to significantly inhibit transcellular Na(+) transport without altering the intracellular Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)](i)) in the epithelial cells derived from the renal proximal tubules. We therefore studied whether ouabain affects the activity and expression of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) representing the major route of apical Na(+) reabsorption in LLC-PK(1) cells. Chronic basolateral, but not apical, exposure to low-concentration ouabain (50 and 100 nM) did not change [Na(+)](i) but significantly reduced NHE3 activity, NHE3 protein, and mRNA expression. Inhibition of c-Src or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) with PP2 or wortmannin, respectively, abolished ouabain-induced downregulation of NHE3 activity and mRNA expression. In caveolin-1 knockdown LLC-PK(1) cells, ouabain failed to downregulate NHE3 mRNA expression and NHE3 promoter activity. Ouabain response elements were mapped to a region between -450 and -1,194 nt, where decreased binding of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) and Sp1 to their cognate cis-elements was documented in vitro and in vivo by protein/DNA array analysis, EMSA, supershift, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. These data suggest that, in LLC-PK(1) cells, ouabain-induced signaling through the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-Src pathway results in decreased Sp1 and TR DNA binding activity and consequently in decreased expression and activity of NHE3. These novel findings may represent the underlying mechanism of cardiotonic steroid-mediated renal compensatory response to volume expansion and/or hypertension.

Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) increases the activity of Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3), the major proximal tubule apical membrane Na+/H+antiporter. This effect is seen in opossum kidney (OKP) cells expressing the endothelin-B (ETB) and not in cells expressing the endothelin-A (ETA) receptor. However, ET-1 causes similar patterns of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, adenylyl cyclase inhibition, and increases in cell [Ca2+] in ETA- and ETB-expressing OKP cells, implying that an additional mechanism is required for NHE3 stimulation by the ETBreceptor. The present studies used ETAand ETBreceptor chimeras and site-directed mutagenesis to identify the ET receptor domains that mediate ET-1 regulation of NHE3 activity. We found that binding of ET-1 to the ETAreceptor inhibits NHE3 activity, an effect for which the COOH-terminal tail is necessary and sufficient. ET-1 stimulation of NHE3 activity requires the COOH-terminal tail and the second intracellular loop of the ETBreceptor. Within the second intracellular loop, a consensus sequence was identified, KXXXVPKXXXV, that is required for ET-1 stimulation of NHE3 activity. This sequence suggests binding of a homodimeric protein that mediates NHE3 stimulation.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that vasoactive factors produced in the kidney such as nitric oxide, endothelins, angiotensin, and prostaglandins participate actively in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis under physiologic conditions. In addition, recent reports indicate that alterations in the systemic acid-base status may also influence the generation of vasoactive cytokines in the kidney, which in turn may mediate the renal effector processes that tend to restore normality under such conditions. Metabolic acidosis, which so frequently accompanies many forms of chronic renal failure (CRF), may contribute to down-regulation of intrarenal nitric oxide production that characterizes CRF. Reduced extracellular pH inhibits inducible nitric oxide production in mesangial cells by altering the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidation, an important posttranslational mechanism in the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activation. The underlying defects resulting in the uncoupling of NADPH oxidation in acidemic microenvironment are discussed. Acidosis stimulates renal production of endothelins, which mediate proximal tubular acidification by enhancing sodium-hydrogen exchanger-3 (NHE-3) activity. Renal endothelins mediate enhanced urinary acid excretion following dietary acid ingestion, an effect that is effectively blocked by endothelin receptor blockers. Reduced extracellular pH stimulates endothelin secretion from renal microvascular endothelial cells, which may promote enhanced acid excretion from the distal tubule under conditions of acidosis. These phenomena as well as the role of angiotensin and renal prostaglandins in mediating renal acidification in normal and acidotic conditions are discussed in this review, which describe the regulatory interaction between extracellular pH and renal vasoactive factors.

Abstract
We recently reported that NHE3 exists in multimeric complexes with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) in renal brush-border membranes. To examine the possible role of DPPIV in modulating NHE3 activity, we evaluated whether specific competitive inhibitors that bind to the active site of DPPIV affect NHE3 activity in the OKP line of opossum kidney proximal tubule cells. The DPPIV inhibitors diprotin A and P32/98 significantly reduced NHE3 activity, whereas the inactive isomer P34/98 had no effect. DPPIV inhibitors did not reduce the activity of another brush-border transport process, Na-phosphate cotransport. Effects of DPPIV inhibitors on NHE3 activity were not associated with detectable changes in amount or apparent molecular weight of NHE3 or in NHE3 surface expression. To investigate the signaling mechanisms involved in modulation of NHE3 activity by DPPIV, we used inhibitors of protein kinase pathways known to regulate NHE3. Whereas the PKA inhibitor H-89 failed to block the effect of DPPIV inhibitors, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein alone caused a decrement in NHE3 activity very similar in magnitude to that caused by P32/98. We also found that the effects of genistein and P32/98 on NHE3 activity were not additive. In contrast, forskolin/IBMX and P32/98 had additive inhibitory effects on NHE3 activity. These findings suggested that the effect of DPPIV inhibitors to reduce NHE3 activity results from inhibition of a tyrosine kinase signaling pathway rather than by activation of PKA. We conclude that DPPIV plays an unexpected role in modulating Na+/H+exchange mediated by NHE3 in proximal tubule cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic hypokalemia increases NHE3 activity in OKP cells. The aim of the present study was to determine whether an autocrine mechanism is involved in this activation. METHODS After incubation of OKP cells in normal-K(+) and low-K(+) media for 24 h, the potassium concentration in the low-K(+) media was adjusted to a normal level. These conditioned media were then used as the normal-K(+) and low-K(+) supernatants. Other OKP cells were incubated in these normal-K(+) and low-K(+) supernatants and the mechanism of Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activation was examined. RESULTS The EIPA-resistant Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activity of OKP cells increased after 4 h incubation in the low-K(+) supernatant, and the amount of NHE3 protein increased at 24 h. Since both BQ788 and saralasin blocked this antiporter activation, the supernatant concentration of endothelin I (ET-I) and angiotensin II (Ang-II) were measured. The ET-I concentration was reduced, but the Ang-II concentration remained unchanged. There was a significant association between a reduction in the ET-I concentration and an increase in Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activity, but only when Ang-II was present in the supernatant. CONCLUSION An autocrine mechanism is involved in the activation of NHE3 in OKP cells. Both ET-I and Ang-II play a role in this activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-concentration angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) activity in renal proximal tubule mainly via angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. The mechanisms that mediate the increase in NHE3 activity elicited by Ang II remain incompletely settled. METHODS To assess a potential role of NHE3 trafficking in the Ang II effect, NHE3 activity was measured by H+-driven initial rate of 22Na uptake resistant to 50 micromol/L of the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor cariporide (HOE642), and sensitive to 300 micromol/L ethyl isopropyl amiloride (EIPA), in a model of cultured proximal tubular cells (MKCC), in which functional apical NHE3 and AT receptors are normally present. Apical expression of NHE3 protein was determined by cell surface biotinylation and immunoblotting. RESULTS Ang II (10-10 mol/L, 43 minutes) increased NHE3 activity and biotinylated NHE3 protein without any change in total amount of NHE3 protein. Both effects were suppressed by specific AT1 receptor antagonists. When 2-mercaptoethanesulphonic acid (MESNA) was used to cleave biotin from all apical proteins, intracellular biotinylated NHE3 protein remained unchanged after Ang II incubation compared to control. When sulfo-N-hydrosuccinimide (NHS)-acetate was used first to block all apical reactive sites, an increase in biotinylated NHE3 protein was observed following Ang II incubation. To evaluate the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), the specific inhibitor wortmannin was used. It suppressed Ang II-induced increase in NHE3 activity and trafficking. Furthermore, latrunculin B, inhibitor of actin filament polymerization, prevented both Ang II stimulatory effects. CONCLUSION Ang II stimulates NHE3 activity, at least in part, by exocytic insertion of the protein into the apical membrane. This effect is mediated by PI 3-kinase and required integrity of actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the renal proximal tubule, chronic acidosis causes increases in apical membrane NHE3 activity, which serve to increase transepithelial H+ secretion and return systemic pH to normal levels. Incubation of cultured renal epithelial cells in acid media activates c-Src. METHODS OKP cells were incubated in control (pH 7.4) or acid (7.0) media, and NHE3 activity measured as cytoplasmic pH (pHi) recovery from an acid load using BCECF. c-Src, ERK, and JNK kinase activities were measured by immune complex kinase assays with enolase, MBP, and GST-c-Jun, respectively, as substrates in the in vitro assays. To determine the role of c-Src in acid-induced NHE3 activation, cells were transfected with vector alone or a dominant negative c-Src (c-SrcK295M). RESULTS Expression of dominant negative c-srcK295M in OKP cells prevented acid-induced activation of NHE3. Incubation of OKP cells in acid media increased ERK activity and c-fos expression, but did not increase JNK activity. Acidosis in vivo also activated renal cortical c-Src and ERK kinases, whereas incubation of 3T3 cells in acid media activated c-Src but not ERK kinase. Expression of c-srcK295M did not affect ERK or c-fos activation by acid incubation. Inhibition of MEK with PD98059 inhibited activation of NHE3 by acid incubation. CONCLUSIONS These studies suggest that acidosis activates c-Src and MEK/ERK/c-fos. While both pathways are necessary for activation of NHE3, they are activated independently.

Abstract
Cholinergic agents are known to affect the epithelial transport of H2O and electrolytes in the kidney. In proximal tubule cells, cholinergic agonists increase basolateral Na-HCO(3) cotransport activity via M(1) muscarinic receptor activation. The signaling intermediates that couple these G protein-coupled receptors to cotransporter activation, however, are not well defined. We therefore sought to identify distal effectors of muscarinic receptor activation that contribute to increased NBC activity in cultured proximal tubule cells. As demonstrated previously for acute CO2-regulated cotransport activity, we found that inhibitors of Src family kinases (SFKs) or the classic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway prevented the stimulation of NBC activity by carbachol. The ability of carbachol to activate Src, as well as the proximal (Raf) and distal [extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)] elements of the classic MAPK module, was compatible with these findings. Cholinergic stimulation of ERK1/2 activity was also completely prevented by overexpression of a dominant negative mutant of Ras (N17-Ras). Taken together, these findings suggest a requirement for the sequential activation of SFKs, Ras, and the classic MAPK pathway [Raf-->MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK)-->ERK]. These findings provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cholinergic regulation of NBC activity in renal epithelial cells. They also suggest a specific mechanism whereby cholinergic stimulation of the kidney can contribute to pH homeostasis.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is quantitatively the main contribution of kidneys to salt and water homeostasis. The transcellular reabsorption of sodium proceeds by a two-step mechanism: Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-energized basolateral active extrusion of sodium permits passive apical entry through various sodium transport systems. In the past 15 years, most of the renal sodium transport systems (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, channels, cotransporters, and exchangers) have been characterized at a molecular level. Coupled to the methods developed during the 1965-1985 decades to circumvent kidney heterogeneity and analyze sodium transport at the level of single nephron segments, cloning of the transporters allowed us to move our understanding of hormone regulation of sodium transport from a cellular to a molecular level. The main purpose of this review is to analyze how molecular events at the transporter level account for the physiological changes in tubular handling of sodium promoted by hormones. In recent years, it also became obvious that intracellular signaling pathways interacted with each other, leading to synergisms or antagonisms. A second aim of this review is therefore to analyze the integrated network of signaling pathways underlying hormone action. Given the central role of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in sodium reabsorption, the first part of this review focuses on its structural and functional properties, with a special mention of the specificity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in renal tubule. In a second part, the general mechanisms of hormone signaling are briefly introduced before a more detailed discussion of the nephron segment-specific expression of hormone receptors and signaling pathways. The three following parts integrate the molecular and physiological aspects of the hormonal regulation of sodium transport processes in three nephron segments: the proximal tubule, the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, and the collecting duct.

Abstract
The SRC gene encodes the proto-oncogene pp60(c-)(src), a tyrosine kinase implicated in numerous signal transduction pathways. In addition, the SRC gene is differentially expressed, developmentally regulated, and frequently overexpressed in human neoplasia. However, the mechanisms regulating its expression have not been completely explored. Here we describe the isolation of a new distal SRC promoter and associated exon, designated 1alpha, which we mapped to a position 1.0 kilobase upstream of the previously described SRC1A housekeeping promoter. Differential use of these promoters and their associated exons coupled with subsequent splicing to a common downstream exon results in c-Src transcripts with different 5' ends but identical coding regions. Promoter analysis following transient transfections into HepG2 cells mapped the minimal 1alpha promoter to a region 145 bp upstream of the major transcription start site. This region contained a consensus binding site for hepatic nuclear factor-1 (HNF-1), a liver-enriched transcription factor implicated in the regulation of a number of genes in liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, and pancreas. Subsequent mobility shift assays confirmed that HNF-1alpha isoform was the predominant factor interacting with this region of the promoter. Mutation of the HNF-1 site resulted in a dramatic reduction in SRC promoter activity. Cotransfection studies demonstrated the promoter could be strongly transactivated by the HNF-1alpha isoform but not by the related HNF-1beta factor. Consistent with these results, we demonstrated that transcripts originating from the SRC1alpha promoter display a tissue restricted pattern of expression with highest levels present in stomach, kidney, and pancreas. These results indicate that SRC transcriptional regulation is much more complex than previously realized and implicates HNF-1 in both the tissue-specific regulation of the SRC gene in normal tissues and the overexpression of c-Src in certain human cancers.

Abstract
Interstitial fibrin deposition is a common histologic feature of tubulointerstitial diseases, which suggests that the coagulation system is activated. Thrombin, generated during the activation of the coagulation cascade, is a powerful activating factor for different cell types. Although proximal tubular cells are potential targets for this coagulation factor, no information is available on the effect of thrombin on these cells. Thus, the expression of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), the main thrombin receptor, was investigated in human proximal tubular cells (hPTC) in vivo and in vitro. A diffuse expression of PAR-1 was observed by immunohistochemistry along the basolateral membrane of PTC in normal human kidney. This observation was confirmed in vitro in cultured hPTC. Because tubular damage and monocyte infiltration are two hallmarks of tubulointerstitial injury, the effect of thrombin on DNA synthesis and monocyte chemotactic peptide-1 (MCP-1) gene and protein expression was evaluated in cultured hPTC. Thrombin induced a significant and dose-dependent increase in thymidine uptake and a striking upregulation of MCP-1 mRNA expression and protein release into the supernatant. Although PAR-1 is a G protein-coupled receptor, its activation in hPTC, as in other cell systems, resulted in a transient increase in cellular levels of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. An increased level of tyrosine-phosphorylated c-src suggested the activation of this cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase in response to thrombin and its potential role in thrombin-induced protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. Interestingly, thrombin-induced DNA synthesis and MCP-1 gene expression were completely blocked by genistein, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but not by its inactive analogue daidzein, demonstrating a central role for tyrosine kinase activation in the thrombin effects on hPTC. Moreover, the specific src inhibitor PP1 abolished the thrombin effect on DNA synthesis. In conclusion, thrombin might represent a powerful regenerative and proinflammatory stimulus for hPTC in acute and chronic tubulointerstitial diseases.

Abstract
We recently showed that the COOH terminus of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator associates with the submembranous scaffolding protein EBP50 (ERM-binding phosphoprotein 50 kD; also called Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor). Since EBP50 associates with ezrin, this interaction links the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) to the cortical actin cytoskeleton. EBP50 has two PDZ domains, and CFTR binds with high affinity to the first PDZ domain. Here, we report that Yes-associated protein 65 (YAP65) binds with high affinity to the second EBP50 PDZ domain. YAP65 is concentrated at the apical membrane in airway epithelia and interacts with EBP50 in cells. The COOH terminus of YAP65 is necessary and sufficient to mediate association with EBP50. The EBP50-YAP65 interaction is involved in the compartmentalization of YAP65 at the apical membrane since mutant YAP65 proteins lacking the EBP50 interaction motif are mislocalized when expressed in airway epithelial cells. In addition, we show that the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase c-Yes is contained within EBP50 protein complexes by association with YAP65. Subapical EBP50 protein complexes, containing the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase c-Yes, may regulate apical signal transduction pathways leading to changes in ion transport, cytoskeletal organization, or gene expression in epithelial cells.

Abstract
The role of ANG II in the regulation of ion reabsorption by the renal thick ascending limb is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that ANG II (10(-8) M in the bath) inhibits HCO-3 absorption by 40% in the isolated, perfused medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) of the rat. The inhibition by ANG II was abolished by pretreatment with eicosatetraynoic acid (10 microM), a general inhibitor of arachidonic acid metabolism, or 17-octadecynoic acid (10 microM), a highly selective inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 pathways. Bath addition of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE; 10(-8) M), the major P-450 metabolite in the MTAL, inhibited HCO-3 absorption, whereas pretreatment with 20-HETE prevented the inhibition by ANG II. The addition of 15-HETE (10(-8) M) to the bath had no effect on HCO-3 absorption. The inhibition of HCO-3 absorption by ANG II was reduced by >50% in the presence of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein (7 microM) or herbimycin A (1 microM). We found no role for cAMP, protein kinase C, or NO in the inhibition by ANG II. However, addition of the exogenous NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP; 10 microM) or the NO synthase (NOS) substrate L-arginine (1 mM) to the bath stimulated HCO-3 absorption by 35%, suggesting that NO directly regulates MTAL HCO-3 absorption. Addition of 10(-11) to 10(-10) M ANG II to the bath did not affect HCO-3 absorption. We conclude that ANG II inhibits HCO-3 absorption in the MTAL via a cytochrome P-450-dependent signaling pathway, most likely involving the production of 20-HETE. Tyrosine kinase pathways also appear to play a role in the ANG II-induced transport inhibition. The inhibition of HCO-3 absorption by ANG II in the MTAL may play a key role in the ability of the kidney to regulate sodium balance and extracellular fluid volume independently of acid-base balance.
