AI Article Synopsis
- The proximal tubule of the mouse kidney primarily expresses two organic cation transporters, mOCT1 and mOCT2, with mOCT3 being present at much lower levels.
- Recent findings indicate that mOCT1 is regulated by several protein kinase pathways, whereas mOCT2 is influenced by fewer pathways, but both exhibit similar modulation directions.
- The study suggests that mOCT1 is the key transporter for organic cation transport in the mouse kidney, and gender differences do not significantly impact this transport process; however, the properties of mouse OCT differ from those in rats and humans, limiting the applicability of rodent findings to human physiology.
Article Abstract
The proximal tubule of mouse kidney expresses mouse organic cation transporter 1 (mOCT1), mOCT2, and much less mOCT3. Therefore, mOCT-mediated transport across the basolateral membrane of proximal tubules reflects properties of at least mOCT1 and mOCT2. Here, we unraveled substrate affinities and modulation of transport activity by acute regulation by protein kinases on mOCT1 and mOCT2 separately and compared these findings with those from isolated proximal tubules of male and female mOCT2−/− mice. These data are also compared to our recent reports on isolated tubules from wild-type and mOCT1/2 double knockout (mOCT1/2−/−) mice. OCT-mediated transport in proximal tubules of mOCT2−/− mice was only 20 % lower compared to those isolated from wild-type mice. While mOCT1 was regulated by all five pathways examined [protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), p56lck, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and calmodulin (CaM)], mOCT2 activity was modulated by PKA, p56lck, and CaM only, however, in the same direction. As mOCT-mediated transport across the basolateral membrane of mOCT2−/− mice expressing only mOCT1 and to a small amount mOCT3 was identical to that observed for tubules isolated from wild-type mice and to that observed for human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably expressing mOCT1, mOCT1 represents the relevant paralog for OCT-dependent organic cation transport in the mouse kidney. Gender does not play a major role in expression and activity of renal OCT-mediated transport in the mouse. Properties of mouse OCT considerably differ from those of rat or human origin, and thus, observations made in these rodents cannot directly be transferred to the human situation

Aryl diazonium electrografting is a versatile methodology for the functionalization of electrode surfaces, yet its usage has been hampered by both the short lifespan of aryl diazonium cations in aqueous solution and the harsh conditions required to generate them . This can make accessing complicated aryl diazonium cations and derivatized surfaces thereof difficult. The usage of triazabutadienes has the potential to address many of these issues as triazabutadienes are stable enough to endure multiple-step chemical syntheses and can persist for several hours in aqueous solution, yet upon UV exposure rapidly release aryl diazonium cations under mild conditions (i.

The availability of water-soluble nanoparticles allows catalytic reactions to occur in highly desirable green environments. The catalytic activity and selectivity of water-soluble palladium nanoparticles capped with 6-(carboxylate)hexanethiolate (C6-PdNP) and 5-(trimethylammonio)pentanethiolate (C5-PdNP) were investigated for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, the oxidation of α,β-conjugated aldehydes, and the C-C coupling of phenylboronic acid. The study showed that between the two PdNPs, C6-PdNP exhibits better catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride and the selective oxidation of conjugated aldehydes to conjugated carboxylic acids.

ConspectusAromatic functionalization reactions are some of the most fundamental transformations in organic chemistry and have been a mainstay of chemical synthesis for over a century. Reactions such as electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (EAS and SAr, respectively) represent the two most fundamental reaction classes for arene elaboration and still today typify the most utilized methods for aromatic functionalization. Despite the reliable reactivity accessed by these venerable transformations, the chemical space that can be accessed by EAS and SAr reactions is inherently limited due to the electronic requirements of the substrate.

Controllable strategies for the design of molecular ferroelectrics have been actively pursued in recent years due to their promising applications in modern electronic devices. In this work, we present a spiro-driven approach for the design of a new class of molecular ferroelectrics. Using 2-morpholinoethanol (MEO) as a bidentate chelating ligand and the SCN- anion as a bridging co-ligand, we obtained a neutral chain-like ferroelectric coordination polymer, [Cd(MEO)(SCN)2].
