We used a cultured murine cell model of the inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD-3 cells) to examine the regulation of the ubiquitous sodium-proton exchanger, Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1), by a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor, the bradykinin B2 receptor. Bradykinin rapidly activates NHE-1 in a concentration-dependent manner as assessed by proton microphysiometry of quiescent cells and by 2'-7'-bis[2-carboxymethyl]-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein fluorescence measuring the accelerated rate of pH(i) recovery from an imposed acid load. The activation of NHE-1 is blocked by inhibitors of the bradykinin B2 receptor, phospholipase C, Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM), and Janus kinase 2 (Jak2), but not by pertussis toxin or by inhibitors of protein kinase C and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that bradykinin stimulates the assembly of a signal transduction complex that includes CaM, Jak2, and NHE-1. CaM appears to be a direct substrate for phosphorylation by Jak2 as measured by an in vitro kinase assay. We propose that Jak2 is a new indirect regulator of NHE-1 activity, which modulates the activity of NHE-1 by increasing the tyrosine phosphorylation of CaM and most likely by increasing the binding of CaM to NHE-1.

Article Synopsis
  • Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is essential for water reabsorption and urine concentration, and its localization in kidney cells is influenced by anti-diuretic hormones, making it a target for specific medications.
  • This study looked at how Goreisan (GRS), a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, affects urine production and AQP2 levels in mice, particularly under conditions induced by desmopressin.
  • Findings revealed that GRS enhances diuretic effects by temporarily raising calcium levels in cells and decreasing the accumulation of phosphorylated AQP2 at the kidney's luminal surface, thus helping to regulate urine volume.

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones accumulate within the renal tubule due to high concentrations of insoluble deposits in the urine. Pb-induced Ca mobilization along with Pb-induced nephrotoxic effects within the proximal tubule have been well established; however, Pb mediated effects within the collecting duct remains insufficiently studied. Thus in vitro and ex vivo model systems were treated with increasing concentrations of lead (II) acetate (PbAc) ± sodium oxalate (NaCO) for 1 h, both individually and in combination.

Kidney tubular cells are submitted to two distinct mechanical forces generated by the urine flow: shear stress and hydrostatic pressure. In addition, the mechanical properties of the surrounding extracellular matrix modulate tubule deformation under constraints. These mechanical factors likely play a role in the pathophysiology of kidney diseases as exemplified by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, in which pressure, flow and matrix stiffness have been proposed to modulate the cystic dilation of tubules with mutations.

Transcription factor Ap2b (TFAP2B), an AP-2 family transcription factor, binds to the palindromic consensus DNA sequence, 5'-GCCNGGC-3'. Mice lacking functional gene die in the perinatal or neonatal period with cystic dilatation of the kidney distal tubules and collecting ducts, a phenotype resembling autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Human ARPKD is caused by mutations in , , and which are conserved in mammals.

Background: Excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a central mechanism for the development of diabetes complications. Recently, hypoxia has been identified to play an additional pathogenic role in diabetes. In this study, we hypothesized that ROS overproduction was secondary to the impaired responses to hypoxia due to the inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) by hyperglycemia.
