Abstract
Through kidney transplantation, ischemia/reperfusion is known to induce tissular injury due to cell energy shortage, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress stems from an accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the lumen of ER, resulting in the unfolded protein response (UPR). Adaptive UPR pathways can either restore protein homeostasis or can turn into a stress pathway leading to apoptosis. We have demonstrated that N1-guanyl-1,7-diamineoheptane (GC7), a specific inhibitor of eukaryotic Initiation Factor 5A (eIF5A) hypusination, confers an ischemic protection of kidney cells by tuning their metabolism and decreasing oxidative stress, but its role on ER stress was unknown. To explore this, we used kidney cells pretreated with GC7 and submitted to either warm or cold anoxia. GC7 pretreatment promoted cell survival in an anoxic environment concomitantly to an increase in xbp1 splicing and BiP level while eiF2α phosphorylation and ATF6 nuclear level decreased. These demonstrated a specific modulation of UPR pathways. Interestingly, the pharmacological inhibition of xbp1 splicing reversed the protective effect of GC7 against anoxia. Our results demonstrated that eIF5A hypusination inhibition modulates distinctive UPR pathways, a crucial mechanism for the protection against anoxia/reoxygenation.

Abstract
BackgroundThe inflammation induced by monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals is driven by interleukin (IL)-1β production. This later relies on NLRP3 inflammasome which can be activated by variation of ion concentration.ObjectivesTo assess the role of osmolarity and water flux in MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation.MethodsIn vitro, THP1 monocytes were stimulated by pyrogen-free synthetic MSU and CPP crystals in iso-, hypo- or hyperosmotic media. Cytokine production was quantified by ELISA in cell culture supernatants. Cell size was measured using video microscopy. The role of aquaporin channels was assessed by pharmacological inhibitor (mercury chloride, HgCl2). In vivo, murine air pouch model was used. MSU and CPP crystals were injected in air pouch of mice treated or not with HgCl2 or mannitol. Osmolarity of mouse sera and patient synovial fluids (SF) were measured using freezing point osmometer. The size of cells collected from SF was assessed with imageJ software.ResultsMSU and CPP crystal-induced IL-1β production was substantially reduced by HgCl2 treatment (MSU 4900 vs 880 pg/ml; CPP 10500 vs 980, p<0.0001) or when cells were cultured in hyperosmotic medium. MSU and CPP crystals induced a transient increase in cell size which was 1.6 and 1.5 bigger after 30 and 100 min of stimulation by MSU and CPP crystals, respectively. After 150 min of stimulation, cell size decreased to their baseline size. Cell size increase was abolished by HgCl2 or hyperosmotic medium. In vivo, MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation (assessed by cell infiltration, IL-1β and CXCL2 production in air pouch lavage) was drastically reduced by HgCl2 or mannitol treatment. The serum osmolarity was higher in mannitol-treated mice than untreated mice (320 vs 300 mmosm/L). In patients, cells collected from SF during CPP or MSU crystal-induced flares had a bigger size than cells collected from osteoarthitic SF. The osmolarity of MSU or CPP crystal-containing SF was lower than the osmolarity of osteoarthritic SF (270 vs 310 mmosm/L). Finally, the IL-1β concentration in SF was strongly correlated with cell size and SF osmolarity.ConclusionThese results suggest that the variation of osmolarity plays central role in MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation. Deciphering how crystals modulate osmolarity will identify new therapeutic targets.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE; OMIM 264800) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by progressive calcification in the skin, the Bruch’s membrane, and the vasculature. Calcification in PXE results from a low level of circulating pyrophosphate (PPi) caused by ABCC6 deficiency. In this study, we used a cohort of 107 PXE patients to determine the pathophysiological relationship between plasma PPi, coronary calcification (CAC), lower limbs arterial calcification (LLAC), and disease severity. Overall, our data showed a deficit in plasma PPi in PXE patients compared to controls. Remarkably, affected females showed higher PPi levels than males, but a lower LLAC. There was a strong correlation between age and PPi in PXE patients (r = 0.423, p < 0.0001) but not in controls (r = 0.059, p = 0.828). A weak correlation was found between PPi and CAC (r = 0.266, p < 0.02); however, there was no statistically significant connection with LLAC (r = 0.068, p = 0.518) or a severity score (r = 0.077, p = 0.429). Surprisingly, we found no significant correlation between plasma alkaline phosphatase activity and PPi (r = 0.113, p = 0.252) or between a 10-year cardiovascular risk score and all other variables. Multivariate analysis confirmed that LLAC and CAC were strongly dependent on age, but not on PPi. Our data showed that arterial calcification is only weakly linked to circulating PPi levels and that time (i.e., age) appears to be the major determinant of disease severity and calcification in PXE. These data are important to better understand the natural history of this disease but also for the follow-up and management of patients, and the design of future clinical trials. Our results also show that PPi is not a good biomarker for the evaluation of disease severity and progression.

Abstract
Lesions issued from the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) stress are a major challenge in human pathophysiology. Of human organs, the kidney is highly sensitive to I/R because of its high oxygen demand and poor regenerative capacity. Previous studies have shown that targeting the hypusination pathway of eIF5A through GC7 greatly improves ischemic tolerance and can be applied successfully to kidney transplants. The protection process correlates with a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Because the protein kinase B Akt is involved in ischemic protective mechanisms and glucose metabolism, we looked for a link between the effects of GC7 and Akt in proximal kidney cells exposed to anoxia or the mitotoxic myxothiazol. We found that GC7 treatment resulted in impaired Akt phosphorylation at the Ser473 and Thr308 sites, so the effects of direct Akt inhibition as a preconditioning protocol on ischemic tolerance were investigated. We evidenced that Akt inhibitors provide huge protection for kidney cells against ischemia and myxothiazol. The pro-survival effect of Akt inhibitors, which is reversible, implied a decrease in mitochondrial ROS production but was not related to metabolic changes or an antioxidant defense increase. Therefore, the inhibition of Akt can be considered as a preconditioning treatment against ischemia.

Abstract
More than three decades after their first biophysical description, Volume Regulated Anion Channels (VRACs) still remain challenging to understand. Initially, VRACs were identified as the main pathway for the cell to extrude Cl- ions during the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) mechanism contributing in fine to the recovery of normal cell volume. For years, scientists have tried unsuccessfully to find their molecular identity, leading to controversy within the field that only ended in 2014 when two independent groups demonstrated that VRACs were formed by heteromers of LRRC8 proteins. This breakthrough gave a second breath to the research field and was followed by many publications regarding LRRC8/VRACs structure/ function, physiological roles and 3D structures. Nevertheless, far from simplifying the field, these discoveries have instead exponentially increased its complexity. Indeed, the channel's biophysical properties seem to be dependent on the LRRC8 subunits composition with each heteromer showing different ion/molecule permeabilities and regulatory mechanisms. One clear example of this complexity is the intricate relationship between LRRC8/VRACs and the redox system. On one hand, VRACs appear to be directly regulated by oxidation or reduction depending on their subunit composition. On the other hand, VRACs can also impact the redox balance within the cells, through their permeability to reduced glutathione or through other as yet uncharacterized pathways. Unravelling this issue is particularly crucial as LRRC8/VRACs play an important role in a wide variety of physiological processes involving oxidative stress signaling. In this regard, we have tried to systematically identify in the literature both preand post-LRRC8 discovery as well as the interplay between VRACs and the redox system to provide new insights into this complex relationship.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a recessive disorder involving skin, eyes and arteries, mainly caused by ABCC6 pathogenic variants. However, almost one fifth of patients remain genetically unsolved despite extensive genetic screening of ABCC6, as illustrated in a large French PXE series of 220 cases. We searched for new PXE gene(s) to solve the ABCC6-negative patients. METHODS First, family-based exome sequencing was performed, in one ABCC6-negative PXE patient with additional neurological features, and her relatives. CYP2U1, involved in hereditary spastic paraplegia type 56 (SPG56), was selected based on this complex phenotype, and the presence of two candidate variants. Second, CYP2U1 sequencing was performed in a retrospective series of 46 additional ABCC6-negative PXE probands. Third, six additional SPG56 patients were evaluated for PXE skin and eye phenotype. Additionally, plasma pyrophosphate dosage and functional analyses were performed in some of these patients. RESULTS 6.4% of ABCC6-negative PXE patients (n = 3) harboured biallelic pathogenic variants in CYP2U1. PXE skin lesions with histological confirmation, eye lesions including maculopathy or angioid streaks, and various neurological symptoms were present. CYP2U1 missense variants were confirmed to impair protein function. Plasma pyrophosphate levels were normal. Two SPG56 patients (33%) presented some phenotypic overlap with PXE. CONCLUSION CYP2U1 pathogenic variants are found in unsolved PXE patients with neurological findings, including spastic paraplegia, expanding the SPG56 phenotype and highlighting its overlap with PXE. The pathophysiology of ABCC6 and CYP2U1 should be explored to explain their respective role and potential interaction in ectopic mineralization.

Abstract
Inhibition of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A activation by the spermidine analogue GC7 has been shown to protect proximal cells and whole kidneys against an acute episode of ischaemia. The highlighted mechanism involves a metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation toward glycolysis allowing cells to be transiently independent of oxygen supply. Here we show that GC7 decreases protein expression of the renal GLUT1 glucose transporter leading to a decrease in transcellular glucose flux. At the same time, GC7 modifies the native energy source of the proximal cells from glutamine toward glucose use. Thus, GC7 acutely and reversibly reprogrammes function and metabolism of kidney cells to make glucose its single substrate, and thus allowing cells to be oxygen independent through anaerobic glycolysis. The physiological consequences are an increase in the renal excretion of glucose and lactate reflecting a decrease in glucose reabsorption and an increased glycolysis. Such a reversible reprogramming of glucose handling and oxygen dependence of kidney cells by GC7 represents a pharmacological opportunity in ischaemic as well as hyperglycaemia-associated pathologies from renal origin.

Abstract
The role of insulin receptor (IR) activated by hyperinsulinemia in obesity-induced kidney injury is not well understood. We hypothesized that activation of kidney proximal tubule epithelial IR contributes to obesity-induced kidney injury. We administered normal-fat diet (NFD) or high-fat diet (HFD) to control and kidney proximal tubule IR–knockout (KPTIRKO) mice for 4 months. Renal cortical IR expression was decreased by 60% in male and female KPTIRKO mice. Baseline serum glucose, serum creatinine, and the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine (ACR) were similar in KPTIRKO mice compared to those of controls. On HFD, weight gain and increase in serum cholesterol were similar in control and KPTIRKO mice; blood glucose did not change. HFD increased the following parameters in the male control mice: renal cortical contents of phosphorylated IR and Akt, matrix proteins, urinary ACR, urinary kidney injury molecule-1–to-creatinine ratio, and systolic blood pressure. Renal cortical generation of hydrogen sulfide was reduced in HFD-fed male control mice. All of these parameters were ameliorated in male KPTIRKO mice. Interestingly, female mice were resistant to HFD-induced kidney injury in both genotypes. We conclude that HFD-induced kidney injury requires renal proximal tubule IR activation in male mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase isoform 4 (Nox4) mediates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and renal fibrosis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) at the level of the podocyte. However, the mitochondrial localization of Nox4 and its role as a mitochondrial bioenergetic sensor has recently been reported. Whether Nox4 drives pathology in DKD within the proximal tubular compartment, which is densely packed with mitochondria, is not yet known. METHODS We generated a proximal tubular-specific Nox4 knockout mouse model by breeding Nox4flox/flox mice with mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 promoter. Subsets of Nox4ptKO mice and their Nox4flox/flox littermates were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes. Mice were followed for 20 weeks and renal injury was assessed. RESULTS Genetic ablation of proximal tubular Nox4 (Nox4ptKO) resulted in no change in renal function and histology. Nox4ptKO mice and Nox4flox/flox littermates injected with STZ exhibited the hallmarks of DKD, including hyperfiltration, albuminuria, renal fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. Surprisingly, diabetes-induced renal injury was not improved in Nox4ptKO STZ mice compared with Nox4flox/flox STZ mice. Although diabetes conferred ROS overproduction and increased the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, proximal tubular deletion of Nox4 did not normalize oxidative stress or mitochondrial bioenergetics. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results demonstrate that genetic deletion of Nox4 from the proximal tubules does not influence DKD development, indicating that Nox4 localization within this highly energetic compartment is dispensable for chronic kidney disease pathogenesis in the setting of diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction Patients on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) present the syndrome of mineral and bone disorders (MBD), which share common traits with monogenic calcifying diseases related to disturbances of the purinergic system. Low plasma levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and ectopic vascular calcifications belong to these two conditions. This suggests that the purinergic system may be altered in chronic kidney disease with MBD. Therefore, we perform a transversal pilot study in order to compare the determinants of PPi homeostasis and the plasma levels of PPi in patients on dialysis, in KTR and in healthy people. Patients and Methods We included 10 controls, 10 patients on maintenance dialysis, 10 early KTR 3 ± 1 months after transplantation and nine late KTR 24 ± 3 months after transplantation. We measured aortic calcifications, plasma and urine levels of PPi, the renal fractional excretion of PPi (FePPi), nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (NPP) and ALP activities in plasma. Correlations and comparisons were assessed with non-parametric tests. Results Low PPi was found in patients on dialysis [1.11 (0.88–1.35), p = 0.004], in early KTR [0.91 (0.66–0.98), p = 0.0003] and in late KTR [1.16 (1.07–1.45), p = 0.02] compared to controls [1.66 (1.31–1.72) μmol/L]. Arterial calcifications were higher in patients on dialysis than in controls [9 (1–75) vs. 399 (25–526) calcium score/cm2, p < 0.05]. ALP activity was augmented in patients on dialysis [113 (74–160), p = 0.01] and in early KTR [120 (84–142), p = 0.002] compared to controls [64 (56–70) UI/L]. The activity of NPP and FePPi were not different between groups. ALP activity was negatively correlated with PPi (r = −0.49, p = 0.001). Discussion Patients on dialysis and KTR have low plasma levels of PPi, which are partly related to high ALP activity, but neither to low NPP activity, nor to increased renal excretion of PPi. Further work is necessary to explore comprehensively the purinergic system in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The Na
+
/H
+
exchanger 3 (NHE3), a ~85 kDa protein encoded by the
SLC9A3
gene, is the most important Na
+
transporter in the proximal tubules of the kidney. Angiotensin II (ANG II) is well-recognized to increase proximal tubule Na
+
reabsorption by stimulating NHE3 expression and activity in the proximal tubules. However, a direct cause and effect relationship between ANG II and NHE3 in the proximal tubules in ANG II-induced hypertension has not been determined previously. The present study directly tested the hypothesis that NHE3 in the proximal tubules of the kidney is required for the development of ANG II-induced hypertension using proximal tubule-specific NHE3 knockout mice (PT-
Nhe3
-/-
). Specifically, PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice were generated using the
SGLT2-Cre
/
Nhe3
loxlox
approach, whereas ANG II-induced hypertension was studied in 12 groups (n=5-12 per group) of adult male and female wild-type (WT) and PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice. Under basal conditions, systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were significantly lower in male and female PT-
Nhe3
-/-
than WT mice (
P
<0.01). A high pressor, 1.5 mg/kg/day, i.p., or a slow pressor dose of ANG II, 0.5 mg/kg/day, i.p., for 2 weeks significantly increased SBP, DBP, and MAP in male and female WT mice (
P
<0.01), but the hypertensive response to ANG II was markedly attenuated in male and female PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice (
P
<0.01). ANG II impaired the pressure-natriuresis response in WT mice, whereas proximal tubule-specific deletion of NHE3 improved the pressure-natriuresis response in ANG II-infused PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice (
P
<0.01). AT
1
receptor blocker losartan completely blocked ANG II-induced hypertension in both WT and PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice (
P
<0.01). However, inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with L-NAME had no effect on ANG II-induced hypertension in WT or PT-
Nhe3
-/-
mice (n.s.). Furthermore, ANG II-induced hypertension was significantly attenuated by an orally absorbable NHE3 inhibitor AVE0657. In conclusion, NHE3 in the proximal tubules of the kidney is required for the full development of ANG II-induced hypertension. Our results suggest that NHE3 in the proximal tubules may be therapeutically targeted to treat hypertension induced by ANG II or associated with increased NHE3 expression in the proximal tubules.

Abstract
Most kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate crystals. Randall's plaque, an apatite deposit at the tip of the renal papilla, is considered to at the origin of these stones. Hypercalciuria may promote Randall's plaque formation and growth. We analyzed whether long-term exposure of Abcc6-/- mice (a murine model of Randall's plaque) to vitamin D supplementation, with or without a calcium-rich diet, would accelerate the formation of Randall's plaque. Eight groups of mice (including Abcc6-/- and wild type) received vitamin D alone (100,000 UI/kg every 2 weeks), a calcium-enriched diet alone (calcium gluconate 2 g/L in drinking water), both vitamin D supplementation and a calcium-rich diet, or a standard diet (controls) for 6 months. Kidney calcifications were assessed by 3-dimensional microcomputed tomography, μ-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Yasue staining. At 6 months, Abcc6-/- mice exposed to vitamin D and calcium supplementation developed massive Randall's plaque when compared with control Abcc6-/- mice (P < 0.01). Wild-type animals did not develop significant calcifications when exposed to vitamin D. Combined administration of vitamin D and calcium significantly accelerates Randall's plaque formation in a murine model. This original model raises concerns about the cumulative risk of vitamin D supplementation and calcium intakes in Randall's plaque formation.

Abstract
The present study directly tested the hypothesis that deletion of the NHE3 (Na+/H+ exchanger 3) selectively in the proximal tubules of the kidney lowers basal blood pressure by increasing the pressure-natriuresis response in mice. Adult male and female, age-matched wild-type (WT) littermates and proximal tubule-specific NHE3 knockout mice (PT- Nhe3-/-; n=6-16 per group) were studied for (1) basal phenotypes of electrolytes and pH, blood pressure, and kidney function; (2) the pressure-natriuresis response using the mesenteric, celiac, and abdominal arterial occlusion technique; and (3) the natriuretic responses to acute saline expansion (0.9% NaCl, 10% body weight, intraperitoneal) or 2-week of 2% NaCl diet. Under basal conditions, PT- Nhe3-/- mice showed significantly lower systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure ( P<0.01) than WT mice ( P<0.01). PT- Nhe3-/- mice also exhibited significantly greater diuretic ( P<0.01) and natriuretic responses than WT mice ( P<0.01), without altering 24-hour fecal Na+ excretion, plasma pH, Na+, and bicarbonate levels. In response to increased renal perfusion pressure by 30 mm Hg, the pressure-natriuresis response increased 5-fold in WT mice ( P<0.01), but it increased 8-fold in PT- Nhe3-/- mice ( P<0.01). In response to 10% acute saline expansion or 2-week 2% NaCl diet, more pronounced natriuretic responses were demonstrated in PT- Nhe3-/- than WT mice ( P<0.01). Our results support the scientific premise and physiological relevance that NHE3 in the proximal tubules plays an essential role in maintaining basal blood pressure homeostasis, and genetic deletion of NHE3 selectively in the proximal tubules of the kidney lowers blood pressure by increasing the pressure natriuretic response.

Abstract
Chloride channels play an essential role in a variety of physiological functions and in human diseases. Historically, the field of chloride channels has long been neglected owing to the lack of powerful selective pharmacological agents that are needed to overcome the technical challenge of characterizing the molecular identities of these channels. Recently, members of the LRRC8 family have been shown to be essential for generating the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) current, a chloride conductance that governs the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) process. The inhibitory effects of six commonly used chloride channel inhibitors on VRAC/LRRC8-mediated chloride transport were tested in wild-type HEK-293 cells expressing LRRC8 proteins and devoid of other types of chloride channels (CFTR and ANO1/2). We explored the effectiveness of the inhibitors using the patch-clamp whole-cell approach and fluorescence-based quantification of cellular volume changes during hypotonic challenge. Both DCPIB and NFA inhibited VRAC current in a whole-cell configuration, with IC50 values of 5 ± 1 μM and 55 ± 2 μM, respectively. Surprisingly, GlyH-101 and PPQ-102, two CFTR inhibitors, also inhibited VRAC conductance at concentrations in the range of their current use, with IC50 values of 10 ± 1 μM and 20 ± 1 μM, respectively. T16Ainh-A01, a so-called specific inhibitor of calcium-activated Cl- conductance, blocked the chloride current triggered by hypo-osmotic challenge, with an IC50 of 6 ± 1 μM. Moreover, RVD following hypotonic challenge was dramatically reduced by these inhibitors. CFTRinh-172 was the only inhibitor that had almost no effect on VRAC/LRRC8-mediated chloride conductance. All inhibitors tested except CFTRinh-172 inhibited VRAC/LRRC8-mediated chloride conductance and cellular volume changes during hypotonic challenge. These results shed light on the apparent lack of chloride channel inhibitors specificity and raise the question of how these inhibitors actually block chloride conductances.

Abstract
The eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), which is highly conserved throughout evolution, has the unique characteristic of post-translational activation through hypusination. This modification is catalyzed by two enzymatic steps involving deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH). Notably, eIF5A may be involved in regulating the lifespan of Drosophila during long-term hypoxia. Therefore, we investigated the possibility of a link between eIF5A hypusination and cellular resistance to hypoxia/anoxia. Pharmacologic targeting of DHPS by N1-guanyl-1,7-diaminoheptane (GC7) or RNA interference-mediated inhibition of DHPS or DOHH induced tolerance to anoxia in immortalized mouse renal proximal cells. Furthermore, GC7 treatment of cells reversibly induced a metabolic shift toward glycolysis as well as mitochondrial remodeling and led to downregulated expression and activity of respiratory chain complexes, features characteristic of mitochondrial silencing. GC7 treatment also attenuated anoxia-induced generation of reactive oxygen species in these cells and in normoxic conditions, decreased the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate of cultured cells and mice. In rats, intraperitoneal injection of GC7 substantially reduced renal levels of hypusinated eIF5A and protected against ischemia-reperfusion-induced renal injury. Finally, in the preclinical pig kidney transplant model, intravenous injection of GC7 before kidney removal significantly improved graft function recovery and late graft function and reduced interstitial fibrosis after transplant. This unconventional signaling pathway offers an innovative therapeutic target for treating hypoxic-ischemic human diseases and organ transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For decades, inhibitors of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel have been used as tools to investigate the role and function of CFTR conductance in cystic fibrosis research. In the early 2000s, two new and potent inhibitors of CFTR, CFTRinh-172 and GlyH-101, were described and are now widely used to inhibit specifically CFTR. However, despite some evidence, the effects of both drugs on other types of Cl−-conductance have been overlooked. In this context, we explore the specificity and the cellular toxicity of both inhibitors in CFTR-expressing and non–CFTR-expressing cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Using patch-clamp technique, we tested the effects of CFTRinh-172 and GlyH-101 inhibitors on three distinct types of Cl− currents: the CFTR-like conductance, the volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl− conductance (VSORC) and finally the Ca2+-dependent Cl− conductance (CaCC). We also explored the effect of both inhibitors on cell viability using live/dead and cell proliferation assays in two different cell lines. KEY RESULTS We confirmed that these two compounds were potent inhibitors of the CFTR-mediated Cl− conductance. However,GlyH-101 also inhibited the VSORC conductance and the CaCC at concentrations used to inhibit CFTR. The CFTRinh-172 did not affect the CaCC but did inhibit the VSORC, at concentrations higher than 5 µM. Neither inhibitor (20 µM; 24 h exposure) affected cell viability, but both were cytotoxic at higher concentrations. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Both inhibitors affected Cl− conductances apart from CFTR. Our results provided insights into their use in mouse models.

Abstract
PTH regulates serum calcium, phosphate, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels by acting on bone and kidney. In renal proximal tubules (PTs), PTH inhibits reabsorption of phosphate and stimulates the synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D. The PTH receptor couples to multiple G proteins. We here ablated the α-subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα) in mouse PTs by using Cre recombinase driven by the promoter of type-2 sodium-glucose cotransporter (Gsα(Sglt2KO) mice). Gsα(Sglt2KO) mice were normophosphatemic but displayed, relative to controls, hypocalcemia (1.19 ±0.01 vs 1.23 ±0.01 mmol/L; P < .05), reduced serum 1,25(OH)2D (59.3 ±7.0 vs 102.5 ±12.2 pmol/L; P < .05), and elevated serum PTH (834 ±133 vs 438 ±59 pg/mL; P < .05). PTH-induced elevation in urinary cAMP excretion was blunted in Gsα(Sglt2KO) mice (2- vs 4-fold over baseline in controls; P < .05). Relative to baseline in controls, PTH-induced reduction in serum phosphate tended to be blunted in Gsα(Sglt2KO) mice (-0.39 ±0.33 vs -1.34 ±0.36 mg/dL; P = .07). Gsα(Sglt2KO) mice showed elevated renal vitamin D 24-hydroxylase and bone fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) mRNA abundance (∼3.4- and ∼11-fold over controls, respectively; P < .05) and tended to have elevated serum FGF23 (829 ±76 vs 632 ±60 pg/mL in controls; P = .07). Heterozygous mice having constitutive ablation of the maternal Gsα allele (E1(m-/+)) (model of pseudohypoparathyroidism type-Ia), in which Gsα levels in PT are reduced, also exhibited elevated serum FGF23 (474 ±20 vs 374 ±27 pg/mL in controls; P < .05). Our findings indicate that Gsα is required in PTs for suppressing renal vitamin D 24-hydroxylase mRNA levels and for maintaining normal serum 1,25(OH)2D.

Abstract
The study of kidney cancer pathogenesis and its treatment has been limited by the scarcity of genetically defined animal models. The FLCN gene that codes for the protein folliculin, mutated in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, presents a new target for mouse modeling of kidney cancer. Here we developed a kidney-specific knockout model by disrupting the mouse Flcn in the proximal tubules, thus avoiding homozygous embryonic lethality or neonatal mortality, and eliminating the requirement of loss of heterozygosity for tumorigenesis. This knockout develops renal cysts and early onset (6 months) of multiple histological subtypes of renal neoplasms featuring high tumor penetrance. Although the majority of the tumors were chromophobe renal cell carcinomas in affected mice under 1 year of age, papillary renal cell carcinomas predominated in the kidneys of older knockout mice. This renal neoplasia from cystic hyperplasia at 4 months to high-grade renal tumors by 16 months represented the progression of tumorigenesis. The mTOR and TGF-β signalings were upregulated in Flcn-deficient tumors, and these two activated pathways may synergetically cause renal tumorigenesis. Treatment of knockout mice with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin for 10 months led to the suppression of tumor growth. Thus, our model recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis, provides a valuable tool for further study of Flcn-deficient renal tumorigenesis, and tests new drugs/approaches to their treatment.

Abstract
Degradation of signaling proteins is one of the most powerful tumor-suppressive mechanisms by which a cell can control its own growth. Here, we identify RHOA as the molecular target by which autophagy maintains genomic stability. Specifically, inhibition of autophagosome degradation by the loss of the v-ATPase a3 (TCIRG1) subunit is sufficient to induce aneuploidy. Underlying this phenotype, active RHOA is sequestered via p62 (SQSTM1) within autolysosomes and fails to localize to the plasma membrane or to the spindle midbody. Conversely, inhibition of autophagosome formation by ATG5 shRNA dramatically increases localization of active RHOA at the midbody, followed by diffusion to the flanking zones. As a result, all of the approaches we examined that compromise autophagy (irrespective of the defect: autophagosome formation, sequestration, or degradation) drive cytokinesis failure, multinucleation, and aneuploidy, processes that directly have an impact upon cancer progression. Consistently, we report a positive correlation between autophagy defects and the higher expression of RHOA in human lung carcinoma. We therefore propose that autophagy may act, in part, as a safeguard mechanism that degrades and thereby maintains the appropriate level of active RHOA at the midbody for faithful completion of cytokinesis and genome inheritance.

Abstract
The existing NHE3 knockout mouse has significant intestinal electrolyte absorption defects, making this model unsuitable for the examination of the role of proximal tubule NHE3 in pathophysiologic states in vivo. To overcome this problem, we generated proximal convoluted tubule-specific KO mice (NHE3-PT KO) by generating and crossing NHE3 floxed mice with the sodium-glucose transporter 2 Cre transgenic mice. The NHE3-PT KO mice have >80 % ablation of NHE3 as determined by immunofluorescence microscopy, western blot, and northern analyses, and show mild metabolic acidosis (serum bicarbonate of 21.2 mEq/l in KO vs. 23.7 mEq/l in WT, p < 0.05). In vitro microperfusion studies in the isolated proximal convoluted tubules demonstrated a ∼36 % reduction in bicarbonate reabsorption (JHCO3 = 53.52 ± 4.61 pmol/min/mm in KO vs. 83.09 ± 9.73 in WT) and a ∼27 % reduction in volume reabsorption (Jv = 0.67 ± 0.07 nl/min/mm in KO vs. 0.92 ± 0.06 nl/min/mm in WT) in mutant mice. The NHE3-PT KO mice tolerated NH4Cl acid load well (added to the drinking water) and showed NH4 excretion rates comparable to WT mice at 2 and 5 days after NH4Cl loading without disproportionate metabolic acidosis after 5 days of acid load. Our results suggest that the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 plays an important role in fluid and bicarbonate reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule but does not play an important role in NH4 excretion.

Abstract
The serine protease CAP1/Prss8 is crucial for skin barrier function, lung alveolar fluid clearance and has been unveiled as diagnostic marker for specific cancer types. Here, we show that a constitutive knockout of CAP1/Prss8 leads to embryonic lethality. These embryos presented no specific defects, but it is during this period, and in particular at E13.5, that wildtype placentas show an increased expression of CAP1/Prss8, thus suggesting a placental defect in the knockout situation. The placentas of knockout embryos exhibited significantly reduced vascular development and incomplete cellular maturation. In contrary, epiblast-specific deletion of CAP1/Prss8 allowed development until birth. These CAP1/Prss8-deficient newborns presented abnormal epidermis, and died soon after birth due to impaired skin function. We thus conclude that a late placental insufficiency might be the primary cause of embryonic lethality in CAP1/Prss8 knockouts. This study highlights a novel and crucial role for CAP1/Prss8 in placental development and function.

Abstract
Adaptation to hypoxia is an essential physiological response to decrease in tissue oxygenation. This process is primarily under the control of transcriptional activator hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1). A better understanding of the intracellular HIF1 stabilization pathway would help in management of various diseases characterized by anemia. Among human pathologies, cystic fibrosis disease is characterized by a chronic anemia that is inadequately compensated by the classical erythroid response mediated by the HIF pathway. Because the kidney expresses CFTR and is a master organ involved in the adaptation to hypoxia, we used renal cells to explore the relationship between CFTR and the HIF1-mediated pathway. To monitor the adaptive response to hypoxia, we engineered a hypoxia-induced fluorescent reporter system to determine whether CFTR modulates hypoxia-induced HIF1 stabilization. We show that CFTR is a regulator of HIF stabilization by controlling the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level through its ability to transport glutathione (a ROS scavenger) out of the cell. Moreover, we demonstrated in a mouse model that both the pharmacological inhibition and the ΔF508 mutation of CFTR lead to an impairment of the adaptive erythroid response to oxygen deprivation. We conclude that CFTR controls HIF stabilization through control of the level of intracellular ROS that act as signaling agents in the HIF-1 pathway.

Abstract
How renal epithelial cells respond to increased pressure and the link with kidney disease states remain poorly understood. Pkd1 knockout or expression of a PC2 pathogenic mutant, mimicking the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, dramatically enhances mechanical stress-induced tubular apoptotic cell death. We show the presence of a stretch-activated K(+) channel dependent on the TREK-2 K(2P) subunit in proximal convoluted tubule epithelial cells. Our findings further demonstrate that polycystins protect renal epithelial cells against apoptosis in response to mechanical stress, and this function is mediated through the opening of stretch-activated K(2P) channels. Thus, to our knowledge, we establish for the first time, both in vitro and in vivo, a functional relationship between mechanotransduction and mechanoprotection. We propose that this mechanism is at play in other important pathologies associated with apoptosis and in which pressure or flow stimulation is altered, including heart failure or atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The maintenance of sodium (Na+) homeostasis is an essential function of the kidney. It is achieved by a variety of transport processes localized all along the highly specialised segments of the nephron. Impairment of these transport mechanisms, and thereby Na+ handling, is associated with disturbed Na+ and water balance, leading to hypertension and oedema. This review focuses on the novel regulation of sodium reabsorption by serine proteases acting along the entire nephron.

The present study tested the hypothesis that intrarenal adenoviral transfer of an intracellular cyan fluorescent fusion of angiotensin II (ECFP/ANG II) selectively in proximal tubules of the kidney increases blood pressure by activating AT(1) (AT(1a)) receptors. Intrarenal transfer of ECFP/ANG II was induced in the superficial cortex of rat and mouse kidneys, and the sodium and glucose cotransporter 2 (sglt2) promoter was used to drive ECFP/ANG II expression selectively in proximal tubules. Intrarenal transfer of ECFP/ANG II induced a time-dependent, proximal tubule-selective expression of ECFP/ANG II in the cortex, which peaked at 2 wk and was sustained for 4 wk. ECFP/ANG II expression was low in the glomeruli and the entire medulla and was absent in the contralateral kidney or extrarenal tissues. At its peak of expression in proximal tubules at day 14, ANG II was increased by twofold in the kidney (P < 0.01) and more than threefold in proximal tubules (P < 0.01), but remained unchanged in plasma or urine. Systolic blood pressure was increased in ECFP/ANG II-transferred rats by 28 ± 6 mmHg (P < 0.01), whereas fractional sodium excretion was decreased by 20% (P < 0.01) and fractional lithium excretion was reduced by 24% (P < 0.01). These effects were blocked by losartan and prevented in AT(1a) knockout mice. Transfer of a scrambled ECFP/ANG IIc had no effects on blood pressure, kidney, and proximal tubule ANG II, or sodium excretion. These results provide evidence that proximal tubule-selective transfer of an intracellular ANG II fusion protein increases blood pressure by activating AT(1a) receptors and increasing sodium reabsorption in proximal tubules.

Abstract
Most bacteria initiate host inflammatory responses through interactions with epithelial cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the bacterial cell wall is a major cause of septic shock in emergency care units and in the pathogenesis of acute renal failure. Kidney cells exposed to LPS undergo apoptotic changes, including cell volume decrease, phosphatidylserine exposure, caspase-3- and membrane K+ conductance -activation. Whole-cell configuration was used to identify K+ channels in primary and immortalized culture of mice distal convoluted tubules. LPS exposure induced a 3 fold increase in intracellular cAMP concentration and the activation of an outwardly rectifying K+ conductance in both immortalized and primary culture of distal cells. This LPS-induced current exhibited KCNQ1 K+ channel characteristics, i.e. inhibition by quinidine, chromanol293B and low dose of HMR1556 (IC50<1 microM) and insensitive to TEA and charybdotoxin. The background-like biophysical properties of the current suggest that the KCNQ1 pore-forming subunit is associated with a KCNE2 or KCNE3 ancillary subunit. RT-PCR experiments confirmed the presence of KCNQ1 and KCNE3 mRNA transcripts in primary culture of distal segments. Activation of the KCNQ1/KCNE3 K+ current appeared to be an essential step in the LPS-induced apoptosis process since HMR1556 blocked the LPS-induced- cell volume decrease, -caspase-3 activation and -phosphatidylserine exposure.

Abstract
We have previously shown that despite the presence of mRNA encoding CFTR, renal proximal cells do not exhibit cAMP-sensitive Cl−conductance (Rubera I, Tauc M, Bidet M, Poujeol C, Cuiller B, Watrin A, Touret N, Poujeol P. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 275: F651–F663, 1998). Nevertheless, in these cells, CFTR plays a crucial role in the control of the volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) activated Cl−currents during hypotonic shock. The aim of this study was to determine the role of CFTR in the regulation of apoptosis volume decrease (AVD) and the apoptosis phenomenon. For this purpose, renal cells were immortalized from primary cultures of proximal convoluted tubules from cftr+/+and cftr−/−mice. Apoptosis was induced by staurosporine (STS; 1 μM). Cell volume, Cl−conductance, caspase-3 activity, intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and glutathione content (GSH/GSSG) were monitored during AVD. In cftr+/+cells, AVD and caspase-3 activation were strongly impaired by conventional Cl−channel blockers and by a specific CFTR inhibitor (CFTRinh-172; 5 μM). STS induced activation of CFTR conductance within 15 min, which was progressively replaced by VSOR Cl−currents after 60 min of exposure. In parallel, STS induced an increase in ROS content in the time course of VSOR Cl−current activation. This increase was impaired by CFTRinh-172 and was not observed in cftr−/−cells. Furthermore, the intracellular GSH/GSSG content decreased during STS exposure in cftr+/+cells only. In conclusion, CFTR could play a key role in the cascade of events leading to apoptosis. This role probably involves control of the intracellular ROS balance by some CFTR-dependent modulation of GSH concentration.

Abstract
Hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) strongly associates with cardiovascular events. Among patients with CKD, reducing the accumulation of uremic toxins may protect against the development of hypertension and progression of renal damage, but there are no established therapies to accomplish this. Here, overexpression of human kidney-specific organic anion transporter SLCO4C1 in rat kidney reduced hypertension, cardiomegaly, and inflammation in the setting of renal failure. In addition, SLCO4C1 overexpression decreased plasma levels of the uremic toxins guanidino succinate, asymmetric dimethylarginine, and the newly identified trans-aconitate. We found that xenobiotic responsive element core motifs regulate SLCO4C1 transcription, and various statins, which act as inducers of nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptors, upregulate SLCO4C1 transcription. Pravastatin, which is cardioprotective, increased the clearance of asymmetric dimethylarginine and trans-aconitate in renal failure. These data suggest that drugs that upregulate SLCO4C1 may have therapeutic potential for patients with CKD.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the role of CFTR during Cd(2+)-induced apoptosis. For this purpose primary cultures and cell lines originated from proximal tubules (PCT) of wild-type cftr(+/+) and cftr(-/-) mice were used. In cftr(+/+) cells, the application of Cd(2+) (5 microM) stimulated within 8 min an ERK1/2-activated CFTR-like Cl(-) conductance sensitive to CFTR(inh)-172. Thereafter Cd(2+) induced an apoptotic volume decrease (AVD) within 6 h followed by caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. The early increase in CFTR conductance was followed by the activation of volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) Cl(-) and TASK2 K(+) conductances. By contrast, cftr(-/-) cells exposed to Cd(2+) were unable to develop VSOR currents, caspase-3 activity, and AVD process and underwent necrosis. Moreover in cftr(+/+) cells, Cd(2+) enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and induced a 50% decrease in total glutathione content (major ROS scavenger in PCT). ROS generation and glutathione decrease depended on the presence of CFTR, since they did not occur in the presence of CFTR(inh)-172 or in cftr(-/-) cells. Additionally, Cd(2+) exposure accelerates effluxes of fluorescent glutathione S-conjugate in cftr(+/+) cells. Our data suggest that CFTR could modulate ROS levels to ensure apoptosis during Cd(2+) exposure by modulating the intracellular content of glutathione.

Abstract
The kidney is a key organ in the maintenance of ion and fluid homeostasis and specific transport systems localized along the nephron guarantee this function. Due to its large functional heterogeneity, experiments on the whole organ level cannot be easily performed, and thus more refined tools are needed, like for example the development of specific recombination systems to gain knowledge on the physiological role of single proteins implicated in ion transport. This review introduces the transgenic technology developed over the past decades, and then focuses on recent strategies for generating kidney-specific gene targeting, over-expression, and gene ablation in mice, that will help to understand the physiological role of proteins implicated in salt and water balance in the kidney.

Abstract
In the adult rat, chronic cadmium intoxication induces nephropathy with Fanconi-like features. This result raises the question of whether intoxication of pregnant rats has any deleterious effects on renal function in their offspring. To test this hypothesis, we measured the renal function of 2- to 60-day-old postnatal offspring from female rats administered cadmium chloride by the oral route (0.5 mg·kg−1·day−1) throughout their entire gestation. Investigations of rat offspring from contaminated pregnant rats showed the presence of cadmium in the kidney at gestational day 20. After birth, the cadmium kidney concentration increased from postnatal day 2 to day 60 (PND2 to PND60), presumably because of 1) milk contamination and 2) neonatal liver cadmium content release. Although the renal parameters (glomerular filtration, U/P inulin, and urinary excretion rate) were not significantly affected until PND45, renal failure appeared at PND60, as demonstrated by a dramatic decrease of the glomerular filtration rate associated with increased excretion of the main ions. In parallel, an immunofluorescence study of tight-junction protein expression of PND60 offspring from contaminated rats showed a disorganization of the tight-junction proteins claudin-2 and claudin-5, specifically expressed in the proximal tubule and glomerulus, respectively. In contrast, expression of a distal claudin protein, claudin-3, was not affected. In conclusion, in utero exposure of cadmium leads to toxic renal effects in adult offspring. These results suggest that contamination of pregnant rats is a serious and critical hazard for renal function of their offspring.

Abstract
We have previously shown that K(+)-selective TASK2 channels and swelling-activated Cl(-) currents are involved in a regulatory volume decrease (RVD; Barriere H, Belfodil R, Rubera I, Tauc M, Lesage F, Poujeol C, Guy N, Barhanin J, Poujeol P. J Gen Physiol 122: 177-190, 2003; Belfodil R, Barriere H, Rubera I, Tauc M, Poujeol C, Bidet M, Poujeol P. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 284: F812-F828, 2003). The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism responsible for the activation of TASK2 channels during RVD in proximal cell lines from mouse kidney. For this purpose, the patch-clamp whole-cell technique was used to test the effect of pH and the buffering capacity of external bath on Cl(-) and K(+) currents during hypotonic shock. In the presence of a high buffer concentration (30 mM HEPES), the cells did not undergo RVD and did not develop outward K(+) currents (TASK2). Interestingly, the hypotonic shock reduced the cytosolic pH (pH(i)) and increased the external pH (pH(e)) in wild-type but not in cftr (-/-) cells. The inhibitory effect of DIDS suggests that the acidification of pH(i) and the alkalinization of pH(e) induced by hypotonicity in wild-type cells could be due to an exit of HCO(3)(-). In conclusion, these results indicate that Cl(-) influx will be the driving force for HCO(3)(-) exit through the activation of the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger. This efflux of HCO(3)(-) then alkalinizes pH(e), which in turn activates TASK2 channels.

Abstract
In small airways, Clara cells are the main epithelial cell type and play an important physiological role in surfactant production, protection against environmental agents, regulation of inflammatory and immune responses in the respiratory system. Thus, Clara cells are involved in lung homeostasis and pathologies like asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) or cancers. To date, Clara cells implication in these pathological processes remains largely enigmatic. The engineering of a transgenic strain mouse allowing specific gene invalidation in Clara cells may be of interest to improve our knowledge about the genes involved in these diseases. By using the Cre/loxP strategy we report the engineering of a transgenic mouse strain with expression of Cre recombinase under the control of the Clara Cell Secretory Protein (CCSP) promoter. Specific staining and immuno-histochemistry performed after breeding with reporter mice revealed that CCSP drives a functional Cre expression specifically in Clara cells. This mouse strain is a powerful tool for Cre-loxP-mediated conditional recombination in the lung and represents a new tool to study Clara cell physiology.

Abstract
Serine proteases are proteolytic enzymes that are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes. We generated mice lacking the membrane-anchored channel-activating serine protease (CAP) 1 (also termed protease serine S1 family member 8 [Prss8] and prostasin) in skin, and these mice died within 60 h after birth. They presented a lower body weight and exhibited severe malformation of the stratum corneum (SC). This aberrant skin development was accompanied by an impaired skin barrier function, as evidenced by dehydration and skin permeability assay and transepidermal water loss measurements leading to rapid, fatal dehydration. Analysis of differentiation markers revealed no major alterations in CAP1/Prss8-deficient skin even though the epidermal deficiency of CAP1/Prss8 expression disturbs SC lipid composition, corneocyte morphogenesis, and the processing of profilaggrin. The examination of tight junction proteins revealed an absence of occludin, which did not prevent the diffusion of subcutaneously injected tracer (∼600 D) toward the skin surface. This study shows that CAP1/Prss8 expression in the epidermis is crucial for the epidermal permeability barrier and is, thereby, indispensable for postnatal survival.

Abstract
The present work reports for the first time the construction of a transgenic mouse strain with specific expression of Cre recombinase in the kidney proximal tubule. A Cre/loxP strategy was developed using sglt2 promoter to drive Cre recombinase expression in transgenic mice. The mouse sglt2 5' region consisting of the first exon, the first intron, and part of the second exon was cloned upstream of a nucleotide sequence encoding the Cre recombinase. Transgenic mice were generated by pronuclear injection, and tissue specificity of Cre expression was analyzed using reverse transcription-PCR. The iL1-sglt2-Cre mouse line scored positive for kidney transcription of Cre but not for the other tissues analyzed. Within the kidney, Cre transcripts were demonstrated to be restricted to the proximal tubule only. iL1-sglt2-Cre mice were bred with ROSA26-LacZ reporter mice that contained a loxP-flanked stop sequence upstream of the LacZ gene. X-gal staining and immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies (anti-megalin, anti-Tamm-Horsfall, anti-NaCl co-transporter, and anti-aquaporin 2) revealed that sglt2 drives Cre functional expression specifically in proximal tubules. The iL1-sglt2-Cre mouse therefore represents a powerful tool for Cre-LoxP-mediated conditional expression in the renal proximal tubule.

Abstract
Aldosterone controls the final sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion in the kidney by regulating the activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN). ASDN consists of the last portion of the distal convoluted tubule (late DCT), the connecting tubule (CNT), and the collecting duct (CD) (i.e., the cortical CD [CCD] and the medullary CD [MCD]). It has been proposed that the control of sodium transport in the CCD is essential for achieving sodium and potassium balance. We have tested this hypothesis by inactivating the alpha subunit of ENaC in the CD but leaving ENaC expression in the late DCT and CNT intact. Under salt restriction or under aldosterone infusion, whole-cell voltage clamp of principal cells of CCD showed no detectable ENaC activity, whereas large amiloride-sensitive currents were observed in control littermates. The animals survive well and are able to maintain sodium and potassium balance, even when challenged by salt restriction, water deprivation, or potassium loading. We conclude that the expression of ENaC in the CD is not a prerequisite for achieving sodium and potassium balance in mice. This stresses the importance of more proximal nephron segments (late DCT/CNT) to achieve sodium and potassium balance.

Abstract
Several papers reported the role of TASK2 channels in cell volume regulation and regulatory volume decrease (RVD). To check the possibility that the TASK2 channel modulates the RVD process in kidney, we performed primary cultures of proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and distal convoluted tubules (DCT) from wild-type and TASK2 knockout (KO) mice. In KO mice, the TASK2 coding sequence was in part replaced by the lac-Z gene. This allows for the precise localization of TASK2 in kidney sections using beta-galactosidase staining. TASK2 was only localized in PCT cells. K+ currents were analyzed by the whole-cell clamp technique with 125 mM K-gluconate in the pipette and 140 mM Na-gluconate in the bath. In PCT cells from wild-type mice, hypotonicity induced swelling-activated K+ currents insensitive to 1 mM tetraethylammonium, 10 nM charybdotoxin, and 10 microM 293B, but blocked by 500 microM quinidine and 10 microM clofilium. These currents were increased in alkaline pH and decreased in acidic pH. In PCT cells from TASK2 KO, swelling-activated K+ currents were completely impaired. In conclusion, the TASK2 channel is expressed in kidney proximal cells and could be the swelling-activated K+ channel responsible for the cell volume regulation process during osmolyte absorptions in the proximal tubules.
