The Combined Influence of Magnesium and Insulin on Central Metabolic Functions and Expression of Genes Involved in Magnesium Homeostasis of Cultured Bovine Adipocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115897. [PMID: 34072724 PMCID: PMC8199494 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22115897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
At the onset of lactation, dairy cows suffer from insulin resistance, insulin deficiency or both, similar to human diabetes, resulting in lipolysis, ketosis and fatty liver. This work explored the combined effects of different levels of magnesium (0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3 mM) and insulin (25, 250 and 25,000 pM) on metabolic pathways and the expression of magnesium-responsive genes in a bovine adipocyte model. Magnesium starvation (0.1 mM) and low insulin (25 pM) independently decreased or tended to decrease the accumulation of non-polar lipids and uptake of the glucose analog 6-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-6-deoxyglucose (6-NBDG). Activity of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) was highest at 25 pM insulin and 3 mM magnesium. Expression of SLC41A1 and SLC41A3 was reduced at 0.1 mM magnesium either across insulin concentrations (SLC41A1) or at 250 pM insulin (SLC41A3). MAGT1 expression was reduced at 3 mM magnesium. NIPA1 expression was reduced at 3 mM and 0.1 mM magnesium at 25 and 250 pM insulin, respectively. Expression of SLC41A2, CNNM2, TRPM6 and TRPM7 was not affected. We conclude that magnesium promotes lipogenesis in adipocytes and inversely regulates the transcription of genes that increase vs. decrease cytosolic magnesium concentration. The induction of GAPDH activity by surplus magnesium at low insulin concentration can counteract excessive lipomobilization.

Abstract
The kidneys are essential for maintaining electrolyte homeostasis. Blood electrolyte composition is controlled by active reabsorption and secretion processes in dedicated segments of the kidney tubule. Specifically, the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and connecting tubule are important for regulating the final excretion of sodium, magnesium, and calcium. Studies unravelling the specific function of these segments have greatly improved our understanding of DCT (patho)physiology. Over the years, experimental models used to study the DCT have changed and the field has advanced from early dissection studies with rats and rabbits to the use of various transgenic mouse models. Developments in dissection techniques and cell culture methods have resulted in immortalized mouse DCT cell lines and made it possible to specifically obtain DCT fragments for ex vivo studies. However, we still do not fully understand the complex (patho)physiology of this segment and there is need for advanced human DCT models. Recently, kidney organoids and tubuloids have emerged as new complex cell models that provide excellent opportunities for physiological studies, disease modeling, drug discovery, and even personalized medicine in the future. This review presents an overview of cell models used to study the DCT and provides an outlook on kidney organoids and tubuloids as model for DCT (patho)physiology. Impact statement This study provides a detailed overview of past and future developments on cell models used to study kidney (patho)physiology and specifically the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) segment. Hereby, we highlight the need for an advanced human cell model of this segment and summarize recent advances in the field of kidney organoids and tubuloids with a focus on DCT properties. The findings reported in this review are significant for future developments toward an advanced human model of the DCT that will help to increase our understanding of DCT (patho)physiology.

Abstract
Hypertension is a complex condition in which various actors and mechanisms combine, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications that today represent the most frequent causes of mortality, morbidity, disability, and health expenses worldwide. In the last decades, there has been an exceptional amount of experimental, epidemiological, and clinical studies confirming a close relationship between magnesium deficit and high blood pressure. Multiple mechanisms may help to explain the bulk of evidence supporting a protective effect of magnesium against hypertension and its complications. Hypertension increases sharply with advancing age, hence older persons are those most affected by its negative consequences. They are also more frequently at risk of magnesium deficiency by multiple mechanisms, which may, at least in part, explain the higher frequency of hypertension and its long-term complications. The evidence for a favorable effect of magnesium on hypertension risk emphasizes the importance of broadly encouraging the intake of foods such as vegetables, nuts, whole cereals and legumes, optimal dietary sources of magnesium, avoiding processed food, which are very poor in magnesium and other fundamental nutrients, in order to prevent hypertension. In some cases, when diet is not enough to maintain an adequate magnesium status, magnesium supplementation may be of benefit and has been shown to be well tolerated.

Abstract
Unique experimental advantages, such as its embryonic/larval transparency, high-throughput nature, and ease of genetic modification, underpin the rapid emergence of the zebrafish ( Danio rerio) as a preeminent model in biomedical research. Particularly in the field of nephrology, the zebrafish provides a promising model for studying the physiological implications of human solute transport processes along consecutive nephron segments. However, although the zebrafish might be considered a valuable model for numerous renal ion transport diseases and functional studies of many channels and transporters, not all human renal electrolyte transport mechanisms and human diseases can be modeled in the zebrafish. With this review, we explore the ontogeny of zebrafish renal ion transport, its nephron structure and function, and thereby demonstrate the clinical translational value of this model. By critical assessment of genomic and amino acid conservation of human proteins involved in renal ion handling (channels, transporters, and claudins), kidney and nephron segment conservation, and renal electrolyte transport physiology in the zebrafish, we provide researchers and nephrologists with an indication of the possibilities and considerations of the zebrafish as a model for human renal ion transport. Combined with advanced techniques envisioned for the future, implementation of the zebrafish might expand beyond unraveling pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie distinct genetic or environmentally, i.e., pharmacological and lifestyle, induced renal transport deficits. Specifically, the ease of drug administration and the exploitation of improved genetic approaches might argue for the adoption of the zebrafish as a model for preclinical personalized medicine for distinct renal diseases and renal electrolyte transport proteins.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin type 6 (TRPM6) epithelial Mg(2+) channels participate in transcellular Mg(2+) transport in the kidney and intestine. Previous reports suggested a hormonal cAMP-dependent regulation of Mg(2+) reabsorption in the kidney. The molecular details of this process are, however, unknown. Adenylate cyclase 3 (Adcy3) has been shown to colocalize with the Na(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter, a marker of the distal convoluted segment of the kidney, the principal site of TRPM6 expression. Given the critical role of TRPM6 in Mg(2+) reabsorption, an inducible kidney-specific Adcy3 deletion mouse model was characterized for blood and urinary electrolyte disturbances under a normal--and low--Mg(2+) diet. Increased urinary Mg(2+) wasting and Trpm6 mRNA levels were observed in the urine and kidney of Adcy3-deleted animals compared with wild-type controls. Serum Mg(2+) concentration was significantly lower in Adcy3-deleted animals at day 7 on the low Mg(2+) diet. Using patch clamp electrophysiology, cell surface biotinylation, and total internal reflection fluorescence live cell imaging of transfected HEK293 cells, we demonstrated that cAMP signaling rapidly potentiates TRPM6 activity by promoting TRPM6 accumulation at the plasma membrane and increasing its single-channel conductance. Comparison of electrophysiological data from cells expressing the phosphorylation-deficient S1252A or phosphomimetic S1252D TRPM6 mutants suggests that phosphorylation at this intracellular residue participates in the observed stimulation of channel activity. Altogether, these data support a physiologically relevant magnesiotropic role of cAMP signaling in the kidney by a direct stimulatory action of protein kinase A on the plasma membrane trafficking and function of TRPM6 ion channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Donohue and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in the insulin receptor gene, INSR. Phenotypic features include extreme insulin resistance, linear growth retardation, paucity of fat and muscle, and soft tissue overgrowth. The insulin receptor is also expressed in the kidney, where animal data suggest it plays a role in glomerular function and blood pressure (BP) regulation, yet such a role in the human kidney is untested. Patients with biallelic INSR mutations provide a rare opportunity to ascertain its role in man. METHODS Retrospective review of patients with INSR mutations. Data for BP, renal imaging, plasma creatinine and electrolyte levels, as well as urine protein, albumin and calcium excretion were sought from the treating clinicians. RESULTS From 33 patients with INSR mutations, data were available for 17 patients. Plasma creatinine was low (mean ± SD: 25 ± 9 μmol/l) and mean plasma electrolyte concentrations were within the normal range (n = 13). Systolic BP ranged between the 18th and 91st percentile for age, sex, height and weight (n = 9; mean ± SD: 49 ± 24). Twenty-four-hour urinary calcium data were available from 10 patients and revealed hypercalciuria in all (mean ± SD: 0.32 ± 0.17 mmol/kg/day; normal <0.1). Nephrocalcinosis was present in all patients (n = 17). Urinary albumin excretion (n = 7) ranged from 4.3-122.5 μg/min (mean ± SD: 32.4 ± 41.0 μg/min; normal <20). CONCLUSIONS INSR dysfunction is associated with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. No other consistent abnormality of renal function was noted. Normotension and stable glomerular function with only moderate proteinuria is in contrast to genetically modified mice who have elevated BP and progressive diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is actively being used to develop promising diagnostics and therapeutics tools for the treatment of cancer and many other diseases. The unique properties of nanomaterials offer an exciting frontier of possibilities for biomedical researchers and scientists. Because existing knowledge of macroscopic materials does not always allow for adequate prediction of the characteristics and behaviors of nanoscale materials in controlled environments, much less in biological systems, careful nanoparticle characterization should accompany biomedical applications of these materials. Informed correlations between adequately characterized nanomaterial properties and reliable biological endpoints are essential for guiding present and future researchers toward clinical nanotechnology-based solutions for cancer. Biological environments are notoriously dynamic; hence, nanoparticulate interactions within these environments will likely be comparatively diverse. For this reason, we recommend that an interactive and systematic approach to material characterization be taken when attempting to elucidate or measure biological interactions with nanoscale materials. We intend for this chapter to be a practical guide that could be used by researchers to identify key nanomaterial characteristics that require measurement for their systems and the appropriate techniques to perform those measurements. Each section includes a basic overview of each measurement and notes on how to address some of the common difficulties associated with nanomaterial characterization.

Abstract
Insulin has been shown to have antinatriuretic actions in humans and animal models. Moreover, endogenous hyperinsulinemia and insulin infusion have been correlated to increased blood pressure in some models. In this review, we present the current state of understanding with regard to the regulation of the major renal sodium transporters by insulin in the kidney. Several groups, using primarily cell culture, have demonstrated that insulin can directly increase activity of the epithelial sodium channel, the sodium-phosphate cotransporter, the sodium-hydrogen exchanger type III, and Na-K-ATPase. We and others have demonstrated alterations in the expression at the protein level of many of these same proteins with insulin infusion or in hyperinsulinemic models. We also discuss how this regulation is perturbed in type I and type II diabetes mellitus. Finally, we discuss a potential role for regulation of insulin receptor signaling in the kidney in contributing to sodium balance and blood pressure.

Abstract
The serum levels of parathyroid hormone and magnesium depend on each other in a complex manner. The secretion of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid is physiologically controlled by the serum calcium level, but magnesium can exert similar effects. While low levels of magnesium stimulate parathyroid hormone secretion, very low serum concentrations induce a paradoxical block. This block leads to clinically relevant hypocalcemia in severely hypomagnesiemic patients. The mechanism of this effect has recently been traced to an activation of the alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. This activation mimicks activation of the calcium sensing receptor and thus causes inhibition of parathyroid hormone secretion. In addition to the effects of magnesium on parathyroid hormone secretion, parathyroid hormone in turn regulates magnesium homeostasis by modulating renal magnesium reabsorption. The distal convoluted tubule is of crucial importance for parathyroid hormone-regulated magnesium homeostasis.

Abstract
Nucleotides have diverse effects on water and electrolyte reabsorption within the distal tubule of the nephron. As the distal tubule is important in control of renal Mg(2+) balance, we determined the effects of ATP on cellular Mg(2+) uptake in this segment. The effects of ATP on immortalized mouse distal convoluted tubule (MDCT) cells were studied by measuring Mg(2+) uptake with fluorescence techniques. The mean basal Mg(2+) uptake rate was 165 +/- 6 nM/s. ATP inhibited basal Mg(2+) uptake and hormone-stimulated Mg(2+) entry by 40%. Both P2X (P2X1-P2X5 subtypes) and P2Y2 receptor subtypes were identified in MDCT cells using differential RT-PCR. Activation of both receptor subtypes with selective agonists increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, P2X purinoceptors by ionotropic-gated channels, and P2Y receptors via G protein-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) release. The more relatively selective P2X agonists [beta,gamma-methylene ATP (beta,gamma-Me-ATP) and 2'- and -3'-O-(4-benzoyl-benzoyl)-ATP] inhibited arginine vasopressin (AVP)- and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-mediated Mg(2+) uptake whereas agonists more selective for P2Y purinoceptors (UTP, ADP, and 2-methylthio-ATP) were without effect. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) diminished beta,gamma-Me-ATP-mediated increase in intracellular Ca(2+) and inhibition of AVP-stimulated Mg(2+) entry. We conclude from this information that ATP inhibited Mg(2+) uptake in MDCT cells through P2X purinoceptors expressed in this distal convoluted tubule cell line.

Abstract
The distal convoluted tubule plays a significant role in renal magnesium conservation. Although the cells of the distal convoluted tubule possess the vitamin D receptor, little is known about the effects of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] on magnesium transport. In this study, we examined the effect of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on distal cellular magnesium uptake and the modulation of this response by extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ in an immortalized mouse distal convoluted tubule (MDCT) cell line. MDCT cells possess the divalent cation-sensing receptor (CaSR) that responds to elevation of extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations to diminish peptide hormone-stimulated Mg2+ uptake. Mg2+ uptake rates were determined by microfluorescence in Mg2+ -depleted MDCT cells. Treatment of MDCT cells with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) for 16-24 h stimulated basal Mg2+ uptake in a concentration-dependent manner from basal levels of 164 +/- 5 to 210 +/- 11 nM/s, representing a 28 +/- 3% change. Pretreatment with actinomycin D or cycloheximide abolished 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated(.)Mg2+ uptake (154 +/- 18 nM/s), suggesting that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) stimulates Mg2+ uptake through gene activation and protein synthesis. Elevation of extracellular Ca2+ inhibited 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated Mg2+ uptake (143 +/- 5 nM/s). Preincubation of the cells with an antibody to the CaSR prevented the inhibition by elevated extracellular Ca2+ of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated Mg2+ uptake (202 +/- 8 nM/s). Treatment with an antisense CaSR mRNA oligodeoxynucleotide also abolished the effects of extracellular Ca2+ on 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-responsive Mg2+ entry. This showed that elevated extracellular calcium modulates 1,25(OH)(2)D-mediated responses through the CaSR. In summary, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) stimulated Mg2+ uptake in MDCT cells, and this is dependent on de novo protein synthesis. Elevation of extracellular Ca2+, acting via the CaSR, inhibited 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated Mg2+ entry. These data indicate that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) has important effects on the control of magnesium entry in MDCT cells and these responses can be modulated by extracellular divalent cations.

The distal tubule reabsorbs approximately 10% of the filtered Mg(2+), but this is 70-80% of that delivered from the loop of Henle. Because there is little Mg(2+) reabsorption beyond the distal tubule, this segment plays an important role in determining the final urinary excretion. The distal convoluted segment (DCT) is characterized by a negative luminal voltage and high intercellular resistance so that Mg(2+) reabsorption is transcellular and active. This review discusses recent evidence for selective and sensitive control of Mg(2+) transport in the DCT and emphasizes the importance of this control in normal and abnormal renal Mg(2+) conservation. Normally, Mg(2+) absorption is load dependent in the distal tubule, whether delivery is altered by increasing luminal Mg(2+) concentration or increasing the flow rate into the DCT. With the use of microfluorescent studies with an established mouse distal convoluted tubule (MDCT) cell line, it was shown that Mg(2+) uptake was concentration and voltage dependent. Peptide hormones such as parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, glucagon, and arginine vasopressin enhance Mg(2+) absorption in the distal tubule and stimulate Mg(2+) uptake into MDCT cells. Prostaglandin E(2) and isoproterenol increase Mg(2+) entry into MDCT cells. The current evidence indicates that cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, phospholipase C, and protein kinase C signaling pathways are involved in these responses. Steroid hormones have significant effects on distal Mg(2+) transport. Aldosterone does not alter basal Mg(2+) uptake but potentiates hormone-stimulated Mg(2+) entry in MDCT cells by increasing hormone-mediated cAMP formation. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3), on the other hand, stimulates basal Mg(2+) uptake. Elevation of plasma Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) inhibits hormone-stimulated cAMP accumulation and Mg(2+) uptake in MDCT cells through activation of extracellular Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)-sensing mechanisms. Mg(2+) restriction selectively increases Mg(2+) uptake with no effect on Ca(2+) absorption. This intrinsic cellular adaptation provides the sensitive and selective control of distal Mg(2+) transport. The distally acting diuretics amiloride and chlorothiazide stimulate Mg(2+) uptake in MDCT cells acting through changes in membrane voltage. A number of familial and acquired disorders have been described that emphasize the diversity of cellular controls affecting renal Mg(2+) balance. Although it is clear that many influences affect Mg(2+) transport within the DCT, the transport processes have not been identified.

Abstract
beta-Adrenergic agonists influence electrolyte reabsorption in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule. Although isoproterenol enhances magnesium absorption in the thick ascending limb, it is unclear what effect, if any, beta-adrenergic agonists have on tubular magnesium handling. The effects of isoproterenol were studied in immortalized mouse distal convoluted tubule (MDCT) cells by measuring cellular cAMP formation with radioimmunoassays and Mg(2+) uptake with fluorescence techniques. Intracellular free Mg(2+) concentration ([Mg(2+)](i)) was measured in single MDCT cells by using microfluorescence with mag-fura-2. To assess Mg(2+) uptake, MDCT cells were first Mg(2+) depleted to 0.22 +/- 0.01 mM by culturing in Mg(2+)-free media for 16 h and then placed in 1.5 mM MgCl(2), and the changes in [Mg(2+)](i) were determined. [Mg(2+)](i) returned to basal levels, 0.53 +/- 0.02 mM, with a mean refill rate, d([Mg(2+)](i))/dt, of 168 +/- 11 nM/s. Isoproterenol stimulated Mg(2+) entry in a concentration-dependent manner, with a maximal response of 252 +/- 11 nM/s, at a concentration of 10(-7) M, that represented a 50 +/- 7% increase in uptake rate above control values. This was associated with a sixfold increase in intracellular cAMP generation. Isoproterenol-stimulated Mg(2+) uptake was completely inhibited with RpcAMPS, a protein kinase A inhibitor, and U-73122, a phospholipase C inhibitor, and partially blocked by RO 31-822, a protein kinase C inhibitor. Accordingly, isoproterenol-mediated Mg(2+) entry rates involve multiple intracellular signaling pathways. Aldosterone potentiated isoproterenol-stimulated Mg(2+) uptake (326 +/- 31 nM/s), whereas elevation of extracellular Ca(2+) inhibited isoproterenol-mediated cAMP accumulation and Mg(2+) uptake, 117 +/- 37 nM/s. These studies demonstrate that isoproterenol stimulates Mg(2+) uptake in a cell line of mouse distal convoluted tubules that is modulated by hormonal and extracellular influences.
