Abstract
Summary
The pseudo-marginal algorithm is a variant of the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm which samples asymptotically from a probability distribution when it is only possible to estimate unbiasedly an unnormalized version of its density. Practically, one has to trade off the computational resources used to obtain this estimator against the asymptotic variances of the ergodic averages obtained by the pseudo-marginal algorithm. Recent works on optimizing this trade-off rely on some strong assumptions, which can cast doubts over their practical relevance. In particular, they all assume that the distribution of the difference between the log-density, and its estimate is independent of the parameter value at which it is evaluated. Under regularity conditions we show that as the number of data points tends to infinity, a space-rescaled version of the pseudo-marginal chain converges weakly to another pseudo-marginal chain for which this assumption indeed holds. A study of this limiting chain allows us to provide parameter dimension-dependent guidelines on how to optimally scale a normal random walk proposal, and the number of Monte Carlo samples for the pseudo-marginal method in the large-sample regime. These findings complement and validate currently available results.

Abstract
We herein report the first thorough analysis of the structure-permeability relationship of semipeptidic macrocycles. In total, 47 macrocycles were synthesized using a hybrid solid-phase/solution strategy, and then their passive and cellular permeability was assessed using the parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) and Caco-2 assay, respectively. The results indicate that semipeptidic macrocycles generally possess high passive permeability based on the PAMPA, yet their cellular permeability is governed by efflux, as reported in the Caco-2 assay. Structural variations led to tractable structure-permeability and structure-efflux relationships, wherein the linker length, stereoinversion, N-methylation, and peptoids site-specifically impact the permeability and efflux. Extensive nuclear magnetic resonance, molecular dynamics, and ensemble-based three-dimensional polar surface area (3D-PSA) studies showed that ensemble-based 3D-PSA is a good predictor of passive permeability.

Abstract
The first solid-phase parallel synthesis of macrocyclic peptides using three-component coupling driven by aziridine aldehyde dimers is described. The method supports the synthesis of 9- to 18-membered aziridine-containing macrocycles, which are then functionalized by nucleophilic opening of the aziridine ring. This constitutes a robust approach for the rapid parallel synthesis of macrocyclic peptides.

Abstract
A geometric framework for understanding multi-category classification is introduced, through which many existing 'all-together' algorithms can be understood. The structure enables parsimonious optimisation, through a direct extension of the binary methodology. The focus is on Support Vector Classification, with parallels drawn to related methods.
The ability of the framework to compare algorithms is illustrated by a brief discussion of Fisher consistency. Its utility in improving understanding of multi-category analysis is demonstrated through a derivation of improved generalisation bounds.
It is also described how this architecture provides insights regarding how to further improve on the speed of existing multi-category classification algorithms. An initial example of how this might be achieved is developed in the formulation of a straightforward multi-category Sequential Minimal Optimisation algorithm. Proof-of-concept experimental results have shown that this, combined with the mapping of pairwise results, is comparable with benchmark optimisation speeds.

Abstract
Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean) α-urease is a hexameric protein characterized by a complex denaturation mechanism. In previous papers, we have shown that a hydrophobic 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANSA) binding conformer could be populated in a moderate concentration of denaturant. This state was obtained under conditions that had no detectable impact on its tertiary structure, as indicated by fluorescence measurements. In the present study, we further characterized this ANSA-binding state in an attempt to understand urease behavior. Evidence presented here shows that the presence of ANSA was not required for the generation of the conformer and that its affinity for ANSA came from an increase in hydrophobicity leading to aggregation. Circular dichroism investigation of urease revealed that it had periodical secondary structure content similar to Klebsiella aerogenes urease (secondary structures calculated on the basis of crystallographic data). The impact of 0.9 M guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) on soluble urease secondary structures was minimal but is compatible with a slight increase in beta-sheet structures. Such modification may indicates that aggregation involves amyloid-like fibril formation. Electron microscopy analysis of urease in the absence of GuHCl revealed the presence of urease hexamers (round shape 13 nm in diameter). These particles disappeared in the presence of moderate denaturant concentration owing to the formation of aggregates and fibril-like structures. The fibrils obtained in 1.5 M GuHCl had an average diameter of 6.5 nm, suggesting that urease hexamers dissociated into smaller oligomeric forms when forming such fibrils.Key words: protein structure, protein folding, denaturation, aggregation, multimeric proteins, protein fibrils, hydrophobicity, molten globule state.

Abstract
Edema represent an abnormal expansion of the intersTitial compartment which belong to the extracellular volume. This interstitial expansion is linked to the accumulation of sodium in the extracellular volume due to an imbalance between sodium intake and urinary sodium output. The stimulation of tubular sodium reabsorption is located in the collecting duct where a stimulation of sodium pump hydrolytic activity has been evidenced. The excess of sodium pump hydrolytic activity is associated with an overexpression of the alpha subunit of the sodium pump at the cell surface and a transcriptional induction of alpha and beta sub-units mRNAs. This overexpression is synchronized with the decrease of the final urinary sodium excretion, the positivation of sodium balance and the period of ascites formation.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS C-peptide, the cleavage product of proinsulin processing exerts physiological effects including stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in erythrocytes and renal proximal tubules. This study was undertaken to assess the physiological effects of connecting peptide on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. METHODS Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was measured as the ouabain-sensitive generation of (32)Pi from gamma[(32)P]-ATP and (86)Rb uptake on isolated rat medullary thick ascending limbs. The cell-surface expression of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was evaluated by Western blotting of biotinylated proteins, and its phosphorylation amount was measured by autoradiography. The membrane-associated fraction of protein kinase C isoforms was evaluated by Western blotting. RESULTS Rat connecting peptide concentration-dependently stimulated Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity with a threshold at 10(-9) mol/l and a maximal effect at 10(-7) mol/l. C-peptide (10(-7) mol/l) already stimulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity after 5 min with a plateau from 15 to 60 min. C-peptide (10(-7) mol/l) stimulated Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and (86)Rb uptake to the same extent, but did not alter Na(+),K(+)-ATPase cell surface expression. The stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was associated with an increase in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit phosphorylation and both effects were abolished by a specific protein kinase C inhibitor. Furthermore, connecting peptide induced selective membrane translocation of PKC-alpha. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION This study provides evidence that in rat medullary thick ascending limb, C-peptide stimulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity within a physiological concentration range. This effect is due to an increase in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase turnover rate that is most likely mediated by protein kinase C-alpha phosphorylation of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit, suggesting that C-peptide could control Na(+) reabsorption during non-fasting periods.

Abstract
Protein design is currently used for the creation of new proteins with desirable traits. In our lab, we focus on the synthesis of proteins with high essential amino acid content having potential applications in animal nutrition. One of the limitations we face in this endeavour is achieving stable proteins despite a highly biased amino acid content. We report here the synthesis and characterisation of two mutants derived from our MB-1 designer protein. The first mutant contains a disulphide bridge designed to cross-link remote segments of the polypeptide chain. The second one is a Tyr62-Trp mutant, where position 62 is buried in the core of the protein. Both mutants were found to be largely helical as per design, and based on thermal denaturation experiments, were substantially more stable than the MB-1 parent molecule. Enhancement of conformational stability in MB-1Trp translated into an impressive improvement of its ability to resist proteolytic degradation. Furthermore, digestion experiments intended to model degradation of proteins in a cow's rumen revealed that MB-1Trp's resistance to degradation compared to that of cytochrome c. Design strategies used for these mutants are discussed with regards to their applicability in creating efficient nutritional proteins.

Abstract
Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome are primary hereditary diseases characterized by hypokaliemia, alkalosis, hypertrophy of the juxtaglomerular complex with secondary hyperaldoteronism and normal blood pressure. They result from molecular disorders leading to a defect of sodium reabsorption in respectively the Henle's loop and the distal convoluted tubule. Biological adaptations of downstream tubular segments, i.e. distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, are responsible for hypokaliemia, alkalosis, renin-aldosterone activation, prostaglandins hypersecretion and dysregulation of the urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium, illustrating the close integration of the regulation of different solutes in the distal tubular structures.

Abstract
We propose a hierarchical full Bayesian model for radial basis networks. This model treats the model dimension (number of neurons), model parameters, regularization parameters, and noise parameters as unknown random variables. We develop a reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to perform the Bayesian computation. We find that the results obtained using this method are not only better than the ones reported previously, but also appear to be robust with respect to the prior specification. In addition, we propose a novel and computationally efficient reversible-jump MCMC simulated annealing algorithm to optimize neural networks. This algorithm enables us to maximize the joint posterior distribution of the network parameters and the number of basis function. It performs a global search in the joint space of the parameters and number of parameters, thereby surmounting the problem of local minima to a large extent. We show that by calibrating the full hierarchical Bayesian prior, we can obtain the classical Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and minimum description length model selection criteria within a penalized likelihood framework. Finally, we present a geometric convergence theorem for the algorithm with homogeneous transition kernel and a convergence theorem for the reversible-jump MCMC simulated annealing method.

Abstract
Aldosterone and vasopressin are responsible for the final adjustment of sodium and water reabsorption in the kidney. In principal cells of the kidney cortical collecting duct (CCD), the integral response to aldosterone and the long-term functional effects of vasopressin depend on transcription. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of a highly differentiated mouse clonal CCD principal cell line (mpkCCD(cl4)) and the changes in the transcriptome induced by aldosterone and vasopressin. Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on untreated cells and on cells treated with either aldosterone or vasopressin for 4 h. The transcriptomes in these three experimental conditions were determined by sequencing 169,721 transcript tags from the corresponding SAGE libraries. Limiting the analysis to tags that occurred twice or more in the data set, 14,654 different transcripts were identified, 3,642 of which do not match known mouse sequences. Statistical comparison (at P < 0.05 level) of the three SAGE libraries revealed 34 AITs (aldosterone-induced transcripts), 29 ARTs (aldosterone-repressed transcripts), 48 VITs (vasopressin-induced transcripts) and 11 VRTs (vasopressin-repressed transcripts). A selection of the differentially-expressed, hormone-specific transcripts (5 VITs, 2 AITs and 1 ART) has been validated in the mpkCCD(cl4) cell line either by Northern blot hybridization or reverse transcription-PCR. The hepatocyte nuclear transcription factor HNF-3-alpha (VIT39), the receptor activity modifying protein RAMP3 (VIT48), and the glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper protein (GILZ) (AIT28) are candidate proteins playing a role in physiological responses of this cell line to vasopressin and aldosterone.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism whereby cAMP stimulates the Na,K-ATPase activity in microdissected rat CCDs and cultured mouse mpkCCD(c14) collecting duct cells. db-cAMP (10(-3) M) stimulated by 2-fold the activity of Na,K-ATPase from rat CCDs as well as the ouabain-sensitive component of (86)Rb(+) uptake by rat CCDs (1.7-fold) and cultured mouse CCD cells (1.5-fold). Pretreatment of rat CCDs with saponin increased the total Na,K-ATPase activity without further stimulation by db-cAMP. Western blotting performed after a biotinylation procedure revealed that db-cAMP increased the amount of Na,K-ATPase at the cell surface in both intact rat CCDs (1.7-fold) and cultured cells (1.3-fold), and that this increase was not related to changes in Na,K-ATPase internalization. Brefeldin A and low temperature (20 degrees C) prevented both the db-cAMP-dependent increase in cell surface expression and activity of Na,K-ATPase in both intact rat CCDs and cultured cells. Pretreatment with the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid also blunted the increment in cell surface expression and activity of Na,K-ATPase caused by db-cAMP. In conclusion, these results strongly suggest that the cAMP-dependent stimulation of Na,K-ATPase activity in CCD results from the translocation of active pump units from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane.

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
Rat collecting ducts exhibit type I or type III K(+)-ATPase activities when animals are fed a normal (NK) or a K(+)-depleted diet (LK). This study aimed at determining functionally the cell origin of these two K(+)-ATPases. For this purpose, we searched for an effect on K(+)-ATPases of hormones that trigger cAMP production in a cell-specific fashion. The effects of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dD-AVP), calcitonin, and isoproterenol in principal cells, alpha-intercalated cells, and beta-intercalated cells of cortical collecting duct (CCD), respectively, and of dD-AVP and glucagon in principal and alpha-intercalated cells of outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD), respectively, were examined. In CCDs, K(+)-ATPase was stimulated by calcitonin and isoproterenol in NK rats (type I K(+)-ATPase) and by dD-AVP in LK rats (type III K(+)-ATPase). In OMCDs, dD-AVP and glucagon stimulated type III but not type I K(+)-ATPase. These hormone effects were mimicked by the cAMP-permeant analog dibutyryl-cAMP. In conclusion, in NK rats, cAMP stimulates type I K(+)-ATPase activity in alpha- and beta-intercalated CCD cells, whereas in LK rats it stimulates type III K(+)-ATPase in principal cells of both CCD and OMCD and in OMCD intercalated cells.

Abstract
Protein design is currently used for the creation of new proteins with desirable traits. In our lab, we focus on the synthesis of proteins with high essential amino acid content, having potential application in animal nutrition. One of the limitations we face in this endeavor is the achievement of stable proteins in spite of a highly biased amino acid content. We report here the synthesis and characterization of MB-1Trp, a protein with a tailored content in selected essential amino acids. The protein is a Tyr62-Trp mutant of the parent molecule MB-1 described earlier. The new protein is largely helical as per design, is well folded, and has a melting temperature of 55 degrees C. Its resistance to proteolytic degradation compares to that of cytochrome c, a protein of similar size. Design strategy used for MB-1Trp is discussed with regards to its applicability toward the creation of efficient nutritional proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The presence of contaminating white blood cells (WBCs) in platelet concentrates is associated with transfusion reactions and may adversely alter the quality of platelets during storage. Leukocyte depletion by filtration of platelets has been increasingly used to avoid these complications. However, the best time for filtration and the benefits of filtering single-donor platelet concentrates (thrombapheresis, TH) have yet to be clearly defined. METHODS In a randomized study of 202 TH collected with an Autopheresis C system, we determined whether prestorage filtration (preSF) of WBCs from TH as compared with poststorage (bedside) filtration (postSF) resulted in a better product. Levels of cytokines and C3a accumulating in the medium during storage, platelet activation state, in vivo platelet recovery, and transfusion reactions were compared in pre- and poststorage products. RESULTS As compared to preSF, significantly more postSF TH had detectable levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha; 47 vs. 15%; p<0.0001) and interleukin 6 (13 vs. 3%; p = 0.02), lower pH (p<0.0001) and decreased levels of C3a (910 vs. 2,000 pg/ml; p<0. 0001). Furthermore, platelet activation was increased in postSF TH (p = 0.022). PostSF TH tended to plug the bedside filter (27% of postSF TH delivered) from day 3 onward. There was also a significant difference in platelet recovery, postSF TH showing a lower corrected count increment (CCI; p = 0.0055) when taking into account the postSF TH that plugged filters (CCI = 0), but no difference when plugged TH were excluded. A correlation could be established between TNF-alpha levels and poor in vivo recovery (p<0.0001). Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions were low in both groups (4 and 9%). CONCLUSION These results indicate a benefit of preSF TH as compared with postSF TH based on the following parameters: decrease in cytokine levels, less platelet activation, maintenance of higher pH, and more efficient use of stored platelets (27% of postSF TH were lost because of plugging of filters). These results apply particularly to the Autopheresis C systems with its high initial WBC content.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the new AMICUS (Baxter-Fenwal Division) cell separator in terms of donor safety, efficiency, and quality of the product obtained. One hundred eighty-three single-donor plateletpheresis procedures were performed, using a collection of 4-4.5 x 10(11) platelets as endpoint. During the first part of the study, the mean volume processed was 3,225 ml and the mean procedure duration 69.5 min. During the second part, after a software change, the mean volume and mean procedure time were 3,071 ml and 68.3 min, respectively. According to local policy, every collection bag was separated into two therapeutic units each containing a mean of 1.87 (1.83) x 10(11) platelets. The white blood cell (WBC) contamination per therapeutic unit was less than 5 x 10(6) in 91% of phereses performed in part one of the study and in 98% of phereses performed in part two. During the recommended 5 days storage, sequential in vitro analyses were performed in 27 units, showing limited platelet activation according to CD62 expression and morphological changes on electron microscopy (EM). Furthermore, there was a correlation between CD62 expression and the degree of WBC contamination (P = 0.03). In conclusion, platelet collection with the new Amicus allows for high platelet yields of adequate quality as judged by WBC content, CD62 expression, and electron microscopic morphological changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite some controversy regarding the preferential infection and replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), it appears that primary T lymphocytes, in their quiescent state, are nonpermissive for viral expression and propagation. Massive activation of viral gene expression occurs only when the host lymphocyte is activated. These observations prompted us to investigate the transcriptional regulation of HIV-1 in resting or activated T cells that were isolated from cord blood or adult peripheral blood. MATERIALS AND METHODS To this end, we employed cellular purification and phenotyping techniques, in vitro protein-DNA binding studies, functional transactivation assays using proteins isolated from cord blood or adult peripheral blood T lymphocytes, and transfection experiments in primary T cells. RESULTS We showed that transcription from the HIV-1 long terminal repeat is repressed in resting naive T lymphocytes; whereas, mitogenically stimulated CD4+ cells form an activator that derepresses transcription. Negative and positive regulation act through a repressor-activator target sequence (RATS), which shares homology with the interleukin-2 (IL-2) purine-rich response element, through the adjacent binding site of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and weakly, through the KB region. CONCLUSIONS This regulation exerted by cellular transcription factors can account for several important features of HIV-1 expression in primary CD4+ cells. Tight repression in resting naive T helper cells may be a main cause of viral latency and transcriptional activation accounts for massive viral production in activated T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Large-scale gene expression studies can now be routinely performed on macroamounts of cells, but it is unclear to which extent current methods are valuable for analyzing complex tissues. In the present study, we used the method of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) for quantitative mRNA profiling in the mouse kidney. We first performed SAGE at the whole-kidney level by sequencing 12,000 mRNA tags. Most abundant tags corresponded to transcripts widely distributed or enriched in the predominant kidney epithelial cells (proximal tubular cells), whereas transcripts specific for minor cell types were barely evidenced. To better explore such cells, we set up a SAGE adaptation for downsized extracts, enabling a 1, 000-fold reduction of the amount of starting material. The potential of this approach was evaluated by studying gene expression in microdissected kidney tubules (50,000 cells). Specific gene expression profiles were obtained, and known markers (e.g., uromodulin in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and aquaporin-2 in the collecting duct) were found appropriately enriched. In addition, several enriched tags had no databank match, suggesting that they correspond to unknown or poorly characterized transcripts with specific tissue distribution. It is concluded that SAGE adaptation for downsized extracts makes possible large-scale quantitative gene expression measurements in small biological samples and will help to study the tissue expression and function of genes not evidenced with other high-throughput methods.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase and H,K-ATPase consist of two transmembrane proteins, the larger of which (catalytic subunit) exchanges extracellular K+ against intracellular Na+ or proton, at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. Cloning of four isoforms of Na,K-ATPase and two isoforms of H,K-ATPase has provided a molecular basis to the functional heterogeneity of these ATPases. Besides its house keeping functions, renal Na,K-ATPase energizes most solute and water transports along the whole nephron. For this purpose, it utilizes about 80% of renal metabolic energy. H,K-ATPase, which is restricted to the renal collecting duct, has a more limited role: it energizes K+ reabsorption during hypokalemia and, along with H-ATPase, participates to acid/base homeostasis. Dysregulation of tubular Na,K-ATPase and H,K-ATPase are involved in physiopathological alterations. For examples, results are presented which show the relationships that exist between a) Na+ retention during experimental nephrotic syndrome and stimulation of collecting duct Na,K-ATPase, and b) kaliuretic effect of loop diuretics and inhibition of collecting duct H,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Kidneys are the main effectors of the maintenance of potassium balance, under both normal and altered conditions of dietary potassium uptake. The collecting duct system plays a major role in this control of potassium homeostasis because most of the filtered potassium is reabsorbed between the glomerulus and the distal convoluted tubule: under normal physiological conditions or in response to potassium loading, collecting ducts adjust their rate of secretion of potassium into urine so as it matches the dietary daily intake, whereas in response to restriction of potassium ingestion, this secretion process is mostly curtailed, and a reabsorptive mechanism appears. In this short review, we analyzed the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying transepithelial transport of potassium in the collecting duct and their adaptation in response to potassium depletion. A special emphasis is given on the axial and cellular heterogeneity of the collecting duct with regard to potassium transport and its adaptation. We also discuss the factors controlling duct hypertrophy and hyperplasia during potassium depletion and their possible relationship with the control of potassium conservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In rat kidney medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (MTAL), activation of protein kinase A (PKA) was previously reported to inhibit Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. This is paradoxical with the known stimulatory effect of cAMP on sodium reabsorption. Because this inhibition was mediated by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation, a pathway stimulated by hypoxia, we evaluated the influence of oxygen supply on cAMP action on Na+,K(+)-ATPase in MTAL. METHODS Ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity were measured in isolated MTALs. Cellular ATP content and the phosphorylation level of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were determined in suspensions of outer medullary tubules. Experiments were carried out under nonoxygenated or oxygenated conditions in the absence or presence of PKA activators. RESULTS cAMP analogues or forskolin associated with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) inhibited ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake in nonoxygenated MTALs. In contrast, when oxygen supply was increased, cAMP stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. Improved oxygen supply was associated with increased intracellular ATP content. The phosphorylation level of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit was increased by cAMP analogues or forskolin associated with IBMX in oxygenated as well as in nonoxygenated tubules. Under nonoxygenated conditions, the inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase was dissociated from its cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, whereas under oxygenated conditions, the stimulatory effect of cAMP analogues on ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake was linearly related and cosaturated with the level of phosphorylation of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit. CONCLUSION In oxygenated MTALs, PKA-mediated stimulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase likely participates in the cAMP-dependent stimulation of sodium reabsorption. Under nonoxygenated conditions, this stimulatory pathway is likely overridden by the PLA2-mediated inhibitory pathway, a possible adaptation to protect the cells against hypoxic damage.

Abstract
Because in outer medullary collecting ducts (OMCD) of K(+)-depleted rats, K+ secretion is abolished, whereas Na+, K(+)-ATPase, which energizes this secretion, is markedly stimulated, it has been proposed that Na+, K(+)-ATPase was mislocated to the apical cell membrane and energized K+ reabsorption. This hypothesis has been supported by paradoxical effects of ouabain in K(+)-depleted compared with normal rats. However, we have recently shown that ouabain inhibits not only Na+, K(+)-ATPase but also apical H+, K(+)-ATPase in the OMCD of K(+)-depleted rats. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate whether previous observations were accounted for by Na+, K(+)-ATPase or by ouabain-sensitive H+, K(+)-ATPase. Na+, K(+)-ATPase was distinguished from H+, K(+)-ATPase by its insensitivity to Sch-28080. Results indicate that the hydrolytic and transport activities of Na+, K(+)-ATPase, the number of its functional units, and the expression of mRNA of its alpha 1 and beta 1 subunits were increased threefold or more in the OMCD of rats fed a K(+)-depleted diet for 2 wk. By immunofluorescence, Na+, K(+)-ATPase staining was strongly increased in K(+)-depleted rats but remained localized to the basolateral pole of OMCD principal cells. In conclusion, K+ depletion is associated with marked induction of functional Na+, K+ pumps at the basolateral pole of rat OMCD. Therefore, reduced K+ secretion might result from inhibition of apical K+ conductances and stimulation of basolateral K+ recycling. It is proposed that increased Na+, K(+)-ATPase participates in the increased Na+ reabsorption prevailing in collecting ducts of K(+)-depleted rats.

Abstract
The temperature dependence and the ouabain sensitivity of Na,K-ATPase was examined in the nephron of normal, cold-exposed, and hibernating jerboas. The transport and hydrolytic activity of renal Na,K-ATPase displayed similar temperature dependence in rats and normal jerboas. Cold-resistance of Na,K-ATPase appeared in cold-exposed jerboas and further increased during hibernation. Three subpopulations of Na,K-ATPase displaying very high (Ki approximately 10(-13) M), high (Ki approximately 10(-9) M) and low sensitivity to ouabain (Ki approximately 10(-6) M) were detected in the thick ascending limb and collecting duct of jerboas. In thick ascending limbs, the subpopulation of very high sensitivity to ouabain disappeared in cold-exposed animals, which accounted for the previously reported decrease in Na,K-ATPase activity. In collecting ducts of cold-exposed animals, the subpopulation of very high sensitivity to ouabain also disappeared, but the resulting decrease in activity was overbalanced by the appearance of the subpopulation of high sensitivity.

Abstract
In the past few years, many studies aimed at characterizing the localisation, the molecular nature, and the pharmacological and functional properties of renal H+, K(+)-ATPases. These studies included: (1) molecular cloning (by homology with other known P-type K(+)-ATPases) and expression of H+, K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunits from amphibian and mammalian epithelia; (2) kinetic and pharmacological characterization of K(+)-ATPase activities different from Na+, K(+)-ATPase in single segments of rat nephron, and (3) analysis of K+ and/or H+ transport in isolated collecting ducts from rat or rabbit kidney. The present paper summarizes these data with a special emphasis on those which demonstrate the existence along the mammalian nephron of several forms of H+, K(+)-ATPase displaying distinct biochemical, pharmacological and functional properties.

Abstract
Under normal conditions, the rat collecting duct displays an H, K-ATPase activity with kinetic and pharmacological properties very close to those of the gastric H,K-ATPase. However, whether the collecting duct H,K-ATPase and the gastric enzyme are identical remains controversial. Therefore, we re-evaluated the expression of the mRNAs encoding the gastric H,K-ATPase alpha subunit in the rat nephron. For this purpose, gastric H,K-ATPase mRNAs were quantitated by RT-PCR at the level of microdissected nephron segments using known amounts of gastric H,K-ATPase cRNA as external standards. Results indicate that gastric H,K-ATPase mRNAs are undetectable (<1 copy per cell) in the glomerulus and along the proximal tubule, thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and collecting duct, although a faint expression ( approximately 400 copies per micro;g total RNA) is measurable in whole-kidney preparations. Gastric H,K-ATPase mRNA is also absent along the nephron of K-depleted rats and of rats with chronic metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Taken with other data from the literature, these results suggest that the collecting duct of normal rats might express an H,K-ATPase similar, but not identical, to the gastric isoform.

Abstract
On the basis of our report that a glycolipoprotein fraction (GLP) extracted from Leptospira interrogans contains a potent inhibitor of renal Na,K-ATPase, we proposed that GLP-induced inhibition of Na,K-ATPase might be the primary cellular defect in the physiopathology of leptospirosis. The present study was designed to test this hypothesis by determining whether or not 1). GLP inhibits all the isoforms of Na,K-ATPase which are expressed in the tissues affected by leptospirosis, 2) Na,K-ATPase from leptospirosis-resistant species, such as the rat, is sensitive to GLP, 3) GLP inhibits Na,K-ATPase from intact cells, and 4) GLP inhibits ouabain-sensitive H,K-ATPase. The results indicate that in the rabbit, a leptospirosis-sensitive species, GLP inhibits with similar efficiency (apparent IC50: 120-220 micrograms protein GLP/ml) all isoforms of Na,K-ATPase known to be expressed in target tissues for the disease. Na,K-ATPase from rat kidney displays a sensitivity to GLP similar to that of the rabbit kidney enzyme (apparent IC50: 25-80 and 50-150 micrograms protein GLP/ml for rat and rabbit, respectively), indicating that resistance to the disease does not result from the resistance of Na,K-ATPase to GLP. GLP also reduces ouabain-sensitive rubidium uptake in rat thick ascending limbs (pmol mm-1 min-1 +/- SEM; control: 23.8 +/- 1.8; GLP, 88 micrograms protein/ml: 8.2 +/- 0.9), demonstrating that it is active in intact cells. Finally, GLP had no demonstrable effect on renal H,K-ATPase activity, even on the ouabain-sensitive form, indicating that the active principle of GLP is more specific for Na,K-ATPase than ouabain itself. Although the hypothesis remains to be demonstrated in vivo, the present findings are compatible with the putative role of GLP-induced inhibition of Na,K-ATPase as an initial mechanism in the physiopathology of leptospirosis.

Abstract
Two distinct Sch-28080-sensitive K-adenosine triphosphatases (K-ATPases) were previously described in the rat nephron: a ouabain-resistant K-ATPase (type I) present in collecting ducts (CD) and a ouabain-sensitive from (type II) located in proximal tubules (PT) and thick ascending limbs (TAL). In K-depleted rats, K-ATPase activity is increased in CD, whereas it is reduced in PT and TAL. Because expression of colonic H-K-ATPase is restricted to the CD of K-depleted rats, we hypothesized that K-ATPase from the CD of K-depleted rats might be different from types I and II. Indeed, type III K-ATPase displays higher sensitivities to ouabain and to Sch-28080 than type II, a lower sensitivity to Sch-28080 than type I, and, conversely to types I and II, it can be stimulated by Na+. Pharmacological differences between types II and III K-ATPases were confirmed by [3H]ouabain binding experiments. Thus the rat kidney expresses three K-ATPases that differ by their pharmacological and kinetic properties, their distribution profile along the nephron and their behavior during K depletion.

Abstract
The rat nephron displays two ouabain-sensitive K-ATPases: one, which is present in proximal tubules and thick ascending limbs of normal rats, is specifically activated by K+ and is down-regulated by K+ depletion, whereas the other one appears in collecting ducts of K+-depleted rats and is activated by either Na+ or K+. To determine which of these two ATPases is similar to colonic-type H,K-ATPase, we quantitated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) the mRNAs encoding the colonic H,K-ATPase alpha subunit in microdissected nephron segments. In normal rats, statistically significant amounts of colonic H,K-ATPase mRNAs were detected exclusively in cortical thick ascending limbs and cortical collecting ducts (200-500 copies/mm). Because these levels of expression were low (1-1.2 copies/target cell), they probably have no physiological relevance. In rats fed a K+-depleted diet for 2 weeks, expression of colonic H,K-ATPase was markedly enhanced in cortical and medullary collecting ducts (5000-12,000 copies/mm or 30-40 copies per cell), whereas it remained low in all other nephron segments. Thus, colonic H,K-ATPase alpha subunit is specifically expressed in cortical and outer medullary collecting ducts of K+-depleted rats where it likely accounts for the ouabain-sensitive K-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Tubular overwork is thought to be a promoter of the tubular hypertrophy and renal failure that occur in response to renal mass reduction. Because Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) is an index of tubular work, we evaluated the effects of subtotal nephrectomy and of enalapril therapy, which delays the evolution of renal lesions, on tubular hypertrophy and Na-K-ATPase activity along the rat nephron. Within 6 wk, 70% reduction of renal mass engendered hypertrophy of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), thick ascending limb (TAL), and collecting duct (CD), as well as parallel increments in Na-K-ATPase activity per millimeter tubule length (Na-K-ATPase activity per unit surface area was not modified by subtotal nephrectomy). Chronic enalapril therapy prevented part of the hypertrophy (but not Na-K-ATPase stimulation) of the PCT and the whole stimulation of Na-K-ATPase (but not hypertrophy) in the CD, whereas it had no effect on the TAL. Enalapril effect on Na-K-ATPase in CD might result from reduced bradykinin metabolism, as the reduction in urinary excretion of bradykinin observed in subtotally nephrectomized rats was prevented by enalapril therapy.

Abstract
1. NaCl reabsorption along the loop of Henle is reduced in K(+)-depleted rats. Because Na+,K(+)-ATPase energizes this transport and because K+ depletion is known to induce an upregulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in most tissues, the regulation of this enzyme was investigated at the level of single thick ascending limbs of the loop of Henle freshly microdissected from rats fed either a normal (control rats) or a low-K+ diet (LK rats). 2. Within 2 weeks of K+ depletion, Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity and [3H]ouabain binding were increased by 30-50% in the medullary portion of the thick ascending limb (MTAL). 3. Despite this increase in the number of Na+,K(+)-ATPase units, the transport capacity of the Na+,K+ pump, determined by ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake in the presence of an extracellular concentration of Rb+ mimicking the kalaemia determined in control (4.0 mM Rb+) and LK rats (2.3 mM Rb+), was reduced in MTAL from LK rats. 4. Inhibition of the Na+,K+ pump was not accounted for by changes in either extracellular K+ or intracellular Na+ concentrations, but by a decrease in the pump affinity for Na+. 5. Because this change in the apparent affinity of the Na+,K+ pump for Na+ was detectable in intact but not in permeabilized MTAL cells, it is probably induced by a rapidly reversible cytosolic factor.

Abstract
Changes in activity and abundance of renal Na,K-ATPase were evaluated during cold exposure and hibernation of the jerboa Jaculus orientalis by measuring the hydrolytic activity, the number of units and the transport activity of Na,K-ATPase in isolated nephron segments. As compared to controls, jerboas exposed to cold (6 degrees C) for 4-5 weeks displayed mild diuresis, decreased urinary osmolality and increased kaliuresis. In cold-exposed jerboas, Na,K-ATPase hydrolytic activity was reduced in the medullary thick ascending limb and enhanced in the cortical and outer medullary collecting duct, whereas it was not altered in other nephron segments. The number of Na,K-ATPase units and the activity of Na,K-pump, determined by [3H]-ouabain binding and by ouabain-sensitive rubidium uptake respectively, changed in parallel with the hydrolytic activity in the medullary thick ascending limb and cortical collecting duct. The maximal rate of activity (Vmax) of Na,K-ATPase was not modified further during hibernation. Thus, cold exposure, but not the onset of hibernation, induces segment-specific changes in the abundance and activity of Na,K-ATPase units which are likely to be related to the entry into hibernation, but not to the maintenance of some renal functions during deep hibernation.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of two populations of Na,K-ATPase with distinct kinetic, pharmacological and immunological characteristics along the rabbit nephron, indicating that the proximal segments of the nephron express exclusively the alpha 1 isoform of the catalytic subunit, whereas the collecting duct expresses an alpha 3-like isoform. Because pharmacological studies have shown the existence of two populations of Na,K-ATPase with different sensitivities to ouabain in the rat cortical collecting duct, which may result from the presence in the same nephron segment of the two isoforms demonstrated in the different segments of the rabbit nephron, the present study was undertaken to characterize the properties of Na,K-ATPase along the rat nephron. Results indicate that each segment of the rat nephron contains two subpopulations of Na,K-ATPase: a component highly sensitive to ouabain (IC50 approximately 5.10(-6) M) which is recognized by an anti-alpha 3 antibody and another moiety of lower affinity for ouabain (IC50 approximately 5.10(-4) M) which is recognized by an anti-alpha 1 antibody. Whether these two subpopulations correspond to different isoforms of the alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase (alpha 1 and alpha 3-like) remains to be determined.

Abstract
Because a ouabain-sensitive H-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (H-K-ATPase) has been identified recently in the amphibian bladder, we evaluated whether such an ATPase might exist also in the mammalian kidney, along with the ouabain-insensitive H-K-ATPase previously described in the collecting duct. For this purpose, we searched for an Na-independent, K-stimulated, ouabain- and Sch-28080-inhibitable ATPase activity in single segments of rat nephron. Ouabain-sensitive K-stimulated ATPase activity was detected in the absence of Na+ in rat proximal convoluted and straight tubules and in medullary and cortical thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop but not in collecting ducts. This K-ATPase differs from Na-K-ATPase by 1) its absence of requirement for Na, 2) its sensitivity to Sch-28080, 3) its higher sensitivity to ouabain, and 4) its absence in the collecting duct. It differs from the collecting duct H-K-ATPase by 1) its distribution along the nephron, 2) its sensitivity to ouabain, and 3) its lower sensitivity to Sch-28080. Furthermore, in rats fed a K-depleted diet for 2 wk, ouabain-sensitive K-ATPase activity was markedly reduced in both proximal tubules and thick ascending limbs, whereas collecting duct H-K-ATPase was upregulated.

Abstract
In rat proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) was previously reported to inhibit Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, a paradoxical finding in view of the known stimulatory effect of PKC on Na+ reabsorption. Because this inhibition occurs via phospholipase A2 activation, a pathway stimulated by hypoxia, we evaluated the influence of oxygen supply on PKC action on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Results confirmed that PDBu inhibited PCT Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity under usual conditions. In contrast, when oxygen supply was increased, PDBu had no effect on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase hydrolytic activity, but it dose-dependently stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. This latter effect, which was abolished by PKC inhibitors, resulted from an increment of the Na+ sensitivity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Thus, in oxygenated rat PCTs, activation of PKC primarily stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. This likely contributes to increase solute reabsorption. Inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was observed only under hypoxic conditions. It may represent an adaptation to protect PCTs against deleterious effects of hypoxia.

Abstract
Clinical manifestations of leptospirosis include disorders of the electrolytical balance which might be related to inhibition of Na,K-ATPase. Although the physiopathological cellular mechanism of leptospirosis remains unknown, a bacterial endotoxin has been incriminated. Therefore, we evaluated whether a glycolipoprotein fraction extracted from Leptospira interrogans and known to be cytotoxic might inhibit Na,K-ATPase. This glycolipoprotein fraction (GLP) inhibited Na,K-ATPase activity in rabbit kidney epithelial cells as well as Na,K-ATPase purified from rabbit kidney medulla. Inhibition was dose-dependent, and at maximum it almost abolished Na,K-ATPase activity whereas it had no effect on other enzymes. The GLP did not change the apparent affinity of Na,K-ATPase for potassium whereas it increased that for sodium, revealing a mechanism of inhibition different from that of ouabain. Finally, the inhibitory principle present in the GLP preparation was thermostable and was curtailed by the presence of albumin. In conclusion, a glycolipoproteic fraction extracted from Leptospira interrogans contains a specific inhibitor of Na,K-ATPase. This glycolipoproteic fraction which is present in diseased tissues might induce, through this inhibitor, cellular dysfunctions responsible for the symptoms, in particular those associated with electrolytical disorders such as disturbances of renal electrolyte handling, cardiac arrhythmia or diarrhoea.
