Amiloride-sensitive sodium entry, via the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), is the rate-limiting step for Na(+) absorption. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is involved in the regulation of Na(+) transport and ENaC activity. However it is still controversial exactly how EGF regulates ENaC and Na(+) absorption. The aim of the present study was to characterize the EGF regulation of Na(+) transport in cultured mouse renal collecting duct principal mpkCCD(c14) cells, a highly differentiated cell line which retains many characteristics of the cortical collecting duct (CCD). EGF dose dependently regulates basal transepithelial Na(+) transport in two phases: an acute phase (<4 h) and a chronic phase (>8 h). Similar effects were observed with TGF-alpha, HB-EGF, and amphiregulin which also belong to the EGF-related peptide growth factor family. Inhibition of MEK1/2 by PD98059 or U0126 increased acute effects and disrupted chronic effects of EGF on Na(+) reabsorption. Inhibition of PI3-kinase with LY294002 abolished acute effect of EGF. As assessed by Western blotting, ErbB2 is the most predominant member of the ErbB family detected in mpkCCD(c14) cells. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed localization of ErbB2 in the CCD in Sprague-Dawley rat kidneys. Both acute and long-term effects of EGF were abolished when cells were treated with tyrphostin AG-825 and ErbB2 inhibitor II, chemically dissimilar selective inhibitors of the ErbB2 receptor. Thus, we conclude that EGF and its related growth factors are important for maintaining transepithelial Na(+) transport and that EGF biphasically modulates sodium transport in mpkCCD(c14) cells via the ErbB2 receptor.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), as a posttranslational modification mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) catalyzing the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD molecules to acceptor proteins, involves a number of cellular processes. As mice lacking the PARP-1 gene () produce more urine, we investigated the role of PARP-1, the most prevalent member of the PARP family, in the vasopressin-responsive expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). In biotin-conjugated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (biotin-NAD) pulldown and immunoprecipitation assays of poly(ADP)-ribose in mpkCCDc14 cells, immunoblots demonstrated that 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) induced the PARylation of total proteins, associated with an increase in the cleavage of PARP-1 and cleaved caspase-3 expression.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers engineered mpkCCDc14 cells, a kidney-derived cell line, to stably express V2 receptor (V2R) and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, improving the study of AQP2.
- The modified cells showed correct integration of the V2R-AQP2 genes and higher AQP2 protein levels, even without the usual vasopressin stimulation.
- Immunocytochemistry revealed that the engineered cells had consistent and strong AQP2 labeling, showing potential for future research on AQP2's role in cell function.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulates the concentration of renal urine by increasing the principal cell expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels. Prostaglandin E (PGE) and prostaglandin (PGF) increase the water absorption of the principal cell without AVP, but PGE decreases it in the presence of AVP. The underlying mechanism of this paradoxical response was investigated here.

Kidneys play a central role in regulation of potassium homeostasis and maintenance of plasma K levels within a narrow physiological range. With-no-lysine (WNK) kinases, specifically WNK1 and WNK4, have been recognized to regulate K balance, in part, by orchestrating maxi K channel (BK)-dependent K secretion in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN), which includes the connecting tubule and collecting duct. We recently demonstrated that the Ca-permeable TRPV4 channel is essential for BK activation in the ASDN.

We have shown that cholesterol regulates the activity of ion channels in mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD) mpkCCD cells and that the transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channel is expressed in these cells. However, whether TRPM4 channel is regulated by cholesterol remains unclear. Here, we performed inside-out patch-clamp experiments and found that inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis by lovastatin significantly decreased, whereas enrichment of cholesterol with exogenous cholesterol significantly increased, TRPM4 channel open probability () by regulating its sensitivity to Ca in mpkCCD cells.
