Abstract
The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a highly organized structure of the hypothalamus that has a key role in regulating cardiovascular and osmotic homeostasis. Functionally, the PVN is divided into autonomic and neuroendocrine (neurosecretory) compartments, both equally important for maintaining blood pressure (BP) and body fluids in the physiological range. Neurosecretory magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the PVN are the main source of the hormones vasopressin (VP), responsible for water conservation and hydromineral balance, and oxytocin (OT), involved in parturition and milk ejection during lactation. Further, neurosecretory parvocellular neurons (PCNs) take part in modulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and stress responses. Additionally, the PVN takes central place in autonomic adjustment of BP to environmental challenges and contributes to its variability (BPV), underpinning the PVN as an autonomic master controller of cardiovascular function. Autonomic PCNs of the PVN modulate sympathetic outflow toward heart, blood vessels and kidneys. These pre-autonomic neurons send projections to the vasomotor nucleus of rostral ventrolateral medulla and to intermediolateral column of the spinal cord, where postganglionic fibers toward target organs arise. Also, PVN PCNs synapse with NTS neurons which are the end-point of baroreceptor primary afferents, thus, enabling the PVN to modify the function of baroreflex. Neuroendocrine and autonomic parts of the PVN are segregated morphologically but they work in concert when the organism is exposed to environmental challenges via somatodendritically released VP and OT by MCNs. The purpose of this overview is to address both neuroendocrine and autonomic PVN roles in BP and BPV regulation.

Abstract
Kidney transport and other renal functions are regulated by multiple G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed along the renal tubule. The rapid, recent appearance of comprehensive unbiased gene expression data in the various renal tubule segments, chiefly RNA sequencing and protein mass spectrometry data, has provided a means of identifying patterns of GPCR expression along the renal tubule. To allow for comprehensive mapping, we first curated a comprehensive list of GPCRs in the genomes of mice, rats, and humans (https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/GPCRs/) using multiple online data sources. We used this list to mine segment-specific and cell type-specific expression data from RNA-sequencing studies in microdissected mouse tubule segments to identify GPCRs that are selectively expressed in discrete tubule segments. Comparisons of these mapped mouse GPCRs with other omics datasets as well as functional data from isolated perfused tubule and micropuncture studies confirmed patterns of expression for well-known receptors and identified poorly studied GPCRs that are likely to play roles in the regulation of renal tubule function. Thus, we provide data resources for GPCR expression across the renal tubule, highlighting both well-known GPCRs and understudied receptors to provide guidance for future studies.

Abstract
The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL) is the first segment of the distal nephron, extending through the whole outer medulla and cortex, two regions with different composition of the peritubular environment. The TAL plays a critical role in the control of NaCl, water, acid, and divalent cation homeostasis, as illustrated by the consequences of the various monogenic diseases that affect the TAL. It delivers tubular fluid to the distal convoluted tubule and thereby affects the function of the downstream tubular segments. The TAL is commonly considered as a whole. However, many structural and functional differences exist between its medullary and cortical parts. The present review summarizes the available data regarding the similarities and differences between the medullary and cortical parts of the TAL. Both subsegments reabsorb NaCl and have high Na+-K+-ATPase activity and negligible water permeability; however, they express distinct isoforms of the Na+-K+-2Cl−cotransporter at the apical membrane. Ammonia and bicarbonate are mostly reabsorbed in the medullary TAL, whereas Ca2+and Mg2+are mostly reabsorbed in the cortical TAL. The peptidic hormone receptors controlling transport in the TAL are not homogeneously expressed along the cortical and medullary TAL. Besides this axial heterogeneity, structural and functional differences are also apparent between species, which underscores the link between properties and role of the TAL under various environments.

Abstract
In mammals, three subtypes of V-receptors have been identified in the kidney. The effects of vasopressin, a hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus, are triggered by three distinct receptor isoforms: V2, V1a, and V1b. Stimulation of V2-receptors regulates urine osmotic concentration by increasing sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and enhancing osmotic permeability of the epithelium cells in the collecting duct. Stimulation of V1a-receptors inhibits renal sodium reabsorption and induces natriuresis, comparable to the effect of the diuretic furosemide, in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Stimulation of V1b-receptors induces potassium secretion in the final parts of the distal segments and initial parts of the collecting ducts. In this review, we discuss the role of vasopressin and its interaction with V-receptor subtypes in natriuresis and for stabilizing the physicochemical parameters of the internal environment and water-salt homeostasis in humans. A better understanding of these systems and their regulation is necessary to facilitate identification of additional system components and mechanisms, clarify their contribution during various normal and pathological functional states, and suggest novel strategies for the development of therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The thick ascending limb plays a key role in maintaining water and electrolyte balance. The importance of this segment in regulating blood pressure is evidenced by the effect of loop diuretics or local genetic defects on this parameter. Hormones and factors produced by thick ascending limbs have both autocrine and paracrine effects, which can extend prohypertensive signaling to other structures of the nephron. In this review, we discuss the role of the thick ascending limb in the development of hypertension, not as a sole participant, but one that works within the rich biological context of the renal medulla. We first provide an overview of the basic physiology of the segment and the anatomical considerations necessary to understand its relationship with other renal structures. We explore the physiopathological changes in thick ascending limbs occurring in both genetic and induced animal models of hypertension. We then discuss the racial differences and genetic defects that affect blood pressure in humans through changes in thick ascending limb transport rates. Throughout the text, we scrutinize methodologies and discuss the limitations of research techniques that, when overlooked, can lead investigators to make erroneous conclusions. Thus, in addition to advancing an understanding of the basic mechanisms of physiology, the ultimate goal of this work is to understand our research tools, to make better use of them, and to contextualize research data. Future advances in renal hypertension research will require not only collection of new experimental data, but also integration of our current knowledge.

Abstract
Sodium reabsorption via Na-K-2Cl cotransporter 2 (NKCC2) in the thick ascending limbs has a major role for medullary osmotic gradient and subsequent water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. We investigated intrarenal localization of three isoforms of NKCC2 mRNA expressions and the effects of dehydration on them in rats. To further examine the mechanisms of dehydration, the effects of hyperosmolality on NKCC2 mRNA expression in microdissected renal tubules was studied. RT-PCR and RT-competitive PCR were employed. The expressions of NKCC2a and b mRNA were observed in the cortical thick ascending limbs (CAL) and the distal convoluted tubules (DCT) but not in the medullary thick ascending limbs (MAL), whereas NKCC2f mRNA expression was seen in MAL and CAL. Two-day dehydration did not affect these mRNA expressions. In contrast, hyperosmolality increased NKCC2 mRNA expression in MAL in vitro. Bradykinin dose-dependently decreased NKCC2 mRNA expression in MAL. However, dehydration did not change NKCC2 protein expression in membrane fraction from cortex and outer medulla and in microdissected MAL. These data show that NKCC2a/b and f types are mainly present in CAL and MAL, respectively. Although NKCC2 mRNA expression was stimulated by hyperosmolality in vitro, NKCC2 mRNA and protein expressions were not stimulated by dehydration in vivo. These data suggest the presence of the inhibitory factors for NKCC2 expression in dehydration. Considering the role of NKCC2 for the countercurrent multiplier system, NKCC2f expressed in MAL might be more important than NKCC2a/b.

Abstract
Adenylyl cyclases (AC) catalyze formation of cAMP, a critical component of G protein-coupled receptor signaling. So far, nine distinct membrane-bound AC isoforms (AC1-9) and one soluble AC (sAC) have been identified and, except for AC8, all of them are expressed in the kidney. While the role of ACs in renal cAMP formation is well established, we are just beginning to understand the function of individual AC isoforms, particularly with regard to hormonal regulation of transporter and channel phosphorylation, membrane abundance, and trafficking. This review focuses on the role of different AC isoforms in regulating renal water and electrolyte transport in health as well as potential pathological implications of disordered AC isoform function. In particular, we focus on modulation of transporter and channel abundance, activity, and phosphorylation, with an emphasis on studies employing genetically modified animals. As will be described, it is now evident that specific AC isoforms can exert unique effects in the kidney that may have important implications in our understanding of normal physiology as well as disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) is essential for a wide range of physiological functions, including water reabsorption, cardiovascular homeostasis, hormone secretion, and social behavior. These and other actions of AVP are mediated by at least three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. Although the antidiuretic action of AVP and V2 receptor in renal distal tubules and collecting ducts is relatively well understood, recent years have seen an increasing understanding of the physiological roles of V1a and V1b receptors. The V1a receptor is originally found in the vascular smooth muscle and the V1b receptor in the anterior pituitary. Deletion of V1a or V1b receptor genes in mice revealed that the contributions of these receptors extend far beyond cardiovascular or hormone-secreting functions. Together with extensively developed pharmacological tools, genetically altered rodent models have advanced the understanding of a variety of AVP systems. Our report reviews the findings in this important field by covering a wide range of research, from the molecular physiology of V1a and V1b receptors to studies on whole animals, including gene knockout/knockdown studies.

Abstract
We previously reported that a deficiency in the vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) results in type 4 renal tubular acidosis, which suggests that vasopressin exerts direct effects on the physiological actions of aldosterone. We investigated the role of vasopressin for nucleocytoplasmic transport of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the intercalated cells. Vasopressin V1aR-deficient (V1aR(-/-)) mice showed largely decreased expression of MR and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11βHSD2) in the medulla of the kidney, which was partially ameliorated by fludrocortisone treatment. The incubation of IN-IC cells, an intercalated cell line established from temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen-expressing rats, with aldosterone or vasopressin increased the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio of the MR from 11.2 to 47.2% and from 18.7 to 61.2%, respectively, in 30 min without any changes in MR expression from the whole cell extract. The immunohistochemistry analysis of the IN-IC cells revealed the nuclear accumulation of MRs after a 30-min incubation with aldosterone or vasopressin. These effects were accompanied by an increase in regulator of chromosome condensation-1 (RCC-1) due to aldosterone and a decrease in Ran GTPase-activating protein 1 (Ran Gap1) due to vasopressin. RNA interference against V1aR abolished the nuclear accumulation of MR induced by aldosterone or vasopressin. Vasopressin increased PKCα and -β(1) expression, and aldosterone increased PKCδ and -ζ expression, but these effects were abolished with a V1aR knockdown. These results suggest that vasopressin directly regulates the nucleocytoplasmic transport of MRs via the V1aR in the intercalated cells of the collecting ducts.

Abstract
Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter (NKCC2)-mediated NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb (TAL) is stimulated by AVP via V2 receptor/PKA/cAMP signaling. This process is antagonized by locally produced eicosanoids such as 20-HETE or prostaglandin E2, which are synthesized in a phospholipase A2-dependent reaction cascade. Using microarray-based gene expression analysis, we found evidence for an AVP-dependent downregulation of the calcium-independent isoform of PLA2, iPLA2β, in the outer medulla of rats. In the present study, we therefore examined the contribution of iPLA2β to NKCC2 regulation. Immunoreactive iPLA2β protein was detected in cultured mTAL cells as well as in the entire TAL of rodents and humans with the exception of the macula densa. Administration of the V2 receptor-selective agonist desmopressin (5 ng/h; 3 days) to AVP-deficient diabetes insipidus rats increased outer medullary phosphorylated NKCC2 (pNKCC2) levels more than twofold in association with a marked reduction in iPLA2β abundance (−65%; P < 0.05), thus confirming microarray results. Inhibition of iPLA2β in Sprague-Dawley rats with FKGK 11 (0.5 μM) or in mTAL cells with FKGK 11 (10 μM) or ( S)-bromoenol lactone (5 μM) for 1 h markedly increased pNKCC2 levels without affecting total NKCC2 expression. Collectively, these data indicate that iPLA2β acts as an inhibitory modulator of NKCC2 activity and suggest that downregulation of iPLA2β may be a relevant step in AVP-mediated urine concentration.

Abstract
The UT-A1 urea transporter plays an important role in the urine concentrating mechanism. Vasopressin (or cAMP) increases urea permeability in perfused terminal inner medullary collecting ducts and increases the abundance of phosphorylated UT-A1, suggesting regulation by phosphorylation. We performed a phosphopeptide analysis that strongly suggested that a PKA consensus site(s) in the central loop region of UT-A1 was/were phosphorylated. Serine 486 was most strongly identified, with other potential sites at serine 499 and threonine 524. Phosphomutation constructs of each residue were made and transiently transfected into LLC-PK1 cells to assay for UT-A1 phosphorylation. The basal level of UT-A1 phosphorylation was unaltered by mutation of these sites. We injected oocytes, assayed [14C]urea flux, and determined that mutation of these sites did not alter basal urea transport activity. Next, we tested the effect of stimulating cAMP production with forskolin. Forskolin increased wild-type UT-A1 and T524A phosphorylation in LLC-PK1 cells and increased urea flux in oocytes. In contrast, the S486A and S499A mutants demonstrated loss of forskolin-stimulated UT-A1 phosphorylation and reduced urea flux. In LLC-PK1 cells, we assessed biotinylated UT-A1. Wild-type UT-A1, S486A, and S499A accumulated in the membrane in response to forskolin. However, in the S486A/S499A double mutant, forskolin-stimulated UT-A1 membrane accumulation and urea flux were totally blocked. We conclude that the phosphorylation of UT-A1 on both serines 486 and 499 is important for activity and that this phosphorylation may be involved in UT-A1 membrane accumulation.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is essential for maintaining body fluid homeostasis. The antidiuretic effects of AVP are initialized by binding of AVP to the type-2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) in the kidney collecting duct (CD), resulting in the exocytic insertion of aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) water channels into the apical plasma membrane. In this study, we describe the generation and characterization of a polyclonal antibody targeted against the NH2 terminus of the rat V2R. HEK-293 cells overexpressing the rat, mouse, or human V2R showed strong intracellular immunolabeling. Additionally, immunostaining of M-1 kidney cells expressing a V2R-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion construct showed colocalization between GFP and antibody-specific V2R labeling. Immunoblots of rat kidney showed 43- and 47-kDa proteins in all zones that were both reduced to 34-kDa by N-glycosidase F. Protein solubilization with nonionic detergents or the use of homobifunctional cross-linkers demonstrated that the rat V2R exists as a protein complex in native kidney. Immunohistochemistry of rat and mouse kidney revealed abundant labeling of the CD. Double-labeling confocal immunofluorescence microscopy [using distal convoluted tubule/connecting tubule (CNT)-specific marker calbindin and CNT/CD-specific marker AQP-2] showed V2R labeling in both CD and CNT. There was a complete absence of labeling in vascular structures and other renal tubules, including the thick ascending limb (TAL), although RT-PCR of microdissected tubules showed expression of V2R mRNA in TAL. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that at the subcellular level, V2R labeling was predominantly intracellular in normal kidneys, although some staining was apparent in basolateral membrane domains. Confocal microscopy of isolated inner medullary collecting duct tubules showed that the V2R is expressed both intracellularly and in basolateral membrane domains.

Abstract
Vasopressin and vasopressin antagonists are finding expanded use in mouse models of disease and in clinical medicine. To provide further insight into the physiological role of V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors in the human and mouse kidney, intrarenal localization of the receptors mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization. V2-receptor mRNA was predominantly expressed in the medulla, whereas mRNA for V1a receptors predominated in the cortex. The segmental localization of vasopressin-receptor mRNAs was determined using simultaneous in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for segment-specific markers, including aquaporin-2, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, epithelial Na channels, Tamm Horsfall glycoprotein, and thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl−cotransporter. Notably, V1a receptor expression was exclusively expressed in V-ATPase/anion exchanger-1-labeled alpha-intercalated cells of the medullary collecting duct in both mouse and human kidney. In cortical collecting ducts, V1a mRNA was more widespread and detected in both principal and intercalated cells. V2-receptor mRNA is diffusely expressed along the collecting ducts in both mouse and human kidney, with higher expression levels in the medulla. These results demonstrate heterogenous axial expression of both V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors along the human and mouse collecting duct. The restricted expression of V1a-receptor mRNA in intercalated cells suggests a role for this receptor in acid-base balance. These findings further suggest distinct regulation of renal transport function by AVP through V1a and V2 receptors in the cortex vs. the medulla.

Abstract
The vasopressin-aquaporin 2 system plays a key role in urine concentration in dehydration. In contrast to the upregulation of aquaporin 2, the downregulation of the vasopressin V2 receptor in dehydration is known. We investigated the mechanisms of this downregulation in dehydration using reverse transcription-competitive polymerase chain reaction (RT-competitive PCR) and Western blot analysis. The incubation of microdissected inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs) in a hypertonic medium or with vasopressin stimulated V2 receptor mRNA and protein expression, showing that dehydration-induced hyperosmolality in renal medulla and increased plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentration should upregulate V2 receptor. The presence of inhibitory factors on the V2 receptor in dehydration was suggested. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is known to inhibit AVP-induced cAMP production and to increase production in dehydration. PGE(2) slightly stimulated V2 receptor mRNA expression in IMCD in vitro. However, PGE(2) inhibited V2 receptor mRNA expression in IMCD in the presence of 10(-9) M vasopressin. The blockade of PGE(2) synthesis by indomethacin in dehydrated rats increased V2 receptor protein expression after 24-48 h with an early increase in V2 receptor mRNA expression. In summary, these data suggest that increased production of PGE(2) in renal medulla plays a key role in the downregulation of V2 receptor in dehydration.

Abstract
Hyperosmolality in the renal medullary interstitium is generated by the renal countercurrent multiplication system, in which the medullary thick ascending limb (MAL) and the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) primarily participate. Since arginine vasopressin (AVP) regulates Na-K-ATPase activity directly via protein kinase A and indirectly via hyperosmolality, we investigated the acute and chronic effects of hyperosmolality on Na-K-ATPase and AVP-dependent cAMP generation in the MAL and OMCD. Microdissected MAL and OMCD from control and dehydrated rats were used for the measurement of Na-K-ATPase activity, mRNA expression of alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 subunits of Na-K-ATPase, and AVP-dependent cAMP generation. Na-K-ATPase activity in the MAL from dehydrated rats, as measured in isotonic medium, was higher than that of control rats. Moreover, incubation of samples in hypertonic medium (490 mOsm/kg H2O) further increased Na-K-ATPase activity. Dehydration increased alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 mRNA expression in the MAL without changing that in the OMCD. Western blot analysis revealed that in the outer medulla, the expression of beta-1, but not that of alpha-1 or beta-2, was stimulated by dehydration. Incubation of MAL or OMCD in hypertonic medium increased AVP-dependent cAMP generation. Higher levels of AVP-dependent cAMP were generated in the MAL from dehydrated rats than that of controls, although incubation in hypertonic medium did not lead to additional increases in AVP-dependent cAMP accumulation. In contrast, AVP-dependent cAMP generation in the OMCD was stimulated by dehydration, and was further stimulated by incubation in hypertonic medium. These findings demonstrate that Na-K-ATPase is upregulated short- and long-term hyperosmolality in the MAL, but not in OMCD.

Abstract
Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2)-mediated sodium chloride reabsorption in the thick ascending limb is stimulated by the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. We investigate the mechanisms underlying the short term activation of NKCC2 by vasopressin in vivo, finding that administration of a vasopressin analogue (deamino-Cys-d-Arg vasopressin) causes a 2-fold increase in mouse kidney NKCC2 phosphorylation, as detected with a phosphospecific antibody, R5. The subtissue localization of the activation is defined by immunofluorescence. In vasopressin-treated animals, a dramatic increase in R5 immunostaining is observed in the initial segment of the thick ascending limb located in the inner stripe of the outer medulla, the region with a higher sensitivity to vasopressin. Although a pool of NKCC2 is present in cytoplasmic vesicles, the distribution of the phosphorylated cotransporter seems to be restricted to the cell membrane compartment; morphometric analysis of electron microscope images demonstrates a 55% increase in NKCC2 molecules at the apical membrane, suggesting the administration of vasopressin induces trafficking of the cotransporter. Thus, the short term actions of vasopressin on the thick ascending limb cotransporter are mediated by both an effect on the translocation of the protein and an increase in phosphorylation of regulatory threonines in the amino terminus of NKCC2.

Abstract
Fine regulation of water reabsorption by the antidiuretic hormone [8-arginine]vasopressin (AVP) occurs in principal cells of the collecting duct and is largely dependent on regulation of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel. AVP-inducible long term AQP2 expression was investigated in immortalized mouse cortical collecting duct principal cells. Combined RNase protection assay, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses revealed that physiological concentrations of AVP added to the basal side, but not to the apical side, of cells grown on filters induced both AQP2 mRNA and apical protein expression. The stimulatory effect of AVP on AQP2 expression followed a V(2) receptor-dependent pathway because [deamino-8-d-arginine]vasopressin (dDAVP), a specific V(2) receptor agonist, produced the same effect as AVP, whereas the V(2) antagonist SR121463B antagonized action of both AVP and dDAVP. Moreover, forskolin and cyclic 8-bromo-AMP fully reproduced the effects of AVP on AQP2 expression. Analysis of protein degradation pathways showed that inhibition of proteasomal activity prevented synthesis of AVP-inducible AQP2 mRNA and protein. Once synthesized, AQP2 protein was quickly degraded, a process that involves both the proteasomal and lysosomal pathways. This is the first study that delineates induction and degradation mechanisms of AQP2 endogenously expressed by a renal collecting duct principal cell line.

Abstract
Vasopressin plays a role in both salt and water balance in the kidney. Classic studies, utilizing isolated perfused tubules, have revealed that vasopressin increases sodium reabsorption in the kidney thick ascending limb and the collecting duct. Furthermore, the activity of several sodium transport proteins expressed in these segments, such as the bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), have been shown to be directly increased by vasopressin. Increased protein abundance might be one means through which sodium transporter and channel activity is enhanced. We have used immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry in order to investigate the regulation of abundance of the major sodium transporters and channels expressed along the renal tubule in response to vasopressin. Chronic (7-day) studies were performed in which vasopressin levels were elevated either endogenously by water restriction of Sprague-Dawley rats or exogenously through infusion of the vasopressin V2-receptor-selective agonist, dDAVP (1-deamino-8d-arginine-vasopressin), to Brattleboro rats. We found a significant increase in protein abundance for NKCC2 and the beta- and gamma-subunits of ENaC with either water restriction or dDAVP infusion. The alpha-subunit of Na-K-ATPase was increased by water restriction, but not by dDAVP infusion, and alpha-ENaC and the thiazide-sensitive cotransporter (NCC) were increased by dDAVP infusion but not by water restriction. Acute (60-min) in vivo exposure to dDAVP led to an increase in both beta- and gamma-ENaC abundance in kidney cortex homogenates, displaying the rapid nature of some of these changes. Overall these increases in sodium transporter and channel abundances likely contribute to both the antidiuretic and antinatriuretic actions of vasopressin.

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
Transport processes along the nephron are regulated in part by hormone stimulation of adenylyl cyclases mediated by the heterotrimeric G protein G(s). To assess the role of this pathway in the regulation of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter abundance in the renal thick ascending limb (TAL), we studied mice with heterozygous disruption of the Gnas gene, which codes for the alpha-subunit of G(s). Outer medullary G(s)alpha protein abundance (as assessed by semiquantitative immunoblotting) and glucagon-stimulated cAMP production were significantly reduced in the heterozygous G(s)alpha knockout mice (GSKO) relative to their wild-type (WT) littermates. Furthermore, Na-K-2Cl cotransporter protein abundance in the outer medulla was significantly reduced (band density, 48% of WT). In addition, GSKO mice had a significantly reduced (72% of WT) urinary osmolality in response to a single injection of 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP), a vasopressin analog. In contrast, outer medullary protein expression of the type 3 Na/H exchanger (NHE-3) or Tamm-Horsfall protein did not differ between the GSKO mice and their WT littermates. However, abundance of type VI adenylyl cyclase was markedly decreased in the outer medullas of GSKO mice, suggesting a novel feed-forward regulatory mechanism. We conclude that expression of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter of the TAL is dependent on G(s)alpha-mediated hormone stimulation, most likely due to long-term changes in cellular cAMP levels.

Abstract
To investigate whether the enhancement of thick ascending limb (TAL) NaCl transport in response to long-term increases in circulating vasopressin concentration is associated with increased expression levels of the apical Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the rat TAL, we have carried out immunoblotting and immunofluorescence studies using affinity-purified, peptide-directed antibodies. Semiquantitative immunoblotting studies demonstrated a marked increase (193% of controls) in Na-K-2Cl cotransporter band density in response to restriction of water intake to 15 ml/day for 7 days. In contrast, the expression levels of two other apical proteins of the TAL (the type 3 Na/H exchanger and Tamm-Horsfall protein) were unchanged in the outer medulla. A 7-day subcutaneous infusion of the V2 receptor-selective vasopressin analog, 1-desamino-[8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP), to Brattleboro rats also markedly increased Na-K-2Cl cotransporter expression in the outer medulla (183% of controls). Immunofluorescence localization in outer medullary tissue sections confirmed the increase in Na-K-2Cl cotransporter expression in response to DDAVP. We conclude that vasopressin strongly upregulates the expression of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter of the TAL and that it is likely to play an important role in the long-term regulation of the countercurrent multiplication system.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and corticosteroid hormones are involved in sodium reabsorption regulation in the renal collecting duct. Synergy between AVP and aldosterone has been well documented, although its mechanism remains unclear. Both aldosterone and glucocorticoid hormones bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), and mineralocorticoid selectivity depends on the MR-protecting enzyme 11 beta hydroxysteroid deshydrogenase (11-HSD), which metabolizes glucocorticoids into derivatives with low affinity for MR. We have investigated whether the activity of 11-HSD could be influenced by AVP and corticosteroid hormones. This study shows that in isolated rat renal collecting ducts, AVP increases 11-HSD catalytic activity. This effect is maximal at 10(-8) M AVP (a concentration clearly above the normal physiological range of AVP concentrations) and involves the V2 receptor pathway, while activation of protein kinase C or changes in intracellular calcium are ineffective. The stimulatory effect of AVP on 11-HSD is largely reduced after adrenalectomy, and is selectively restored by infusion of aldosterone, not glucocorticoids. We conclude that this synergy between AVP and aldosterone in controlling the activity of 11-HSD is likely to play a pivotal role in resetting mineralocorticoid selectivity, and hence sodium reabsorption capacities of the renal collecting duct.

Abstract
The respective effects of aldosterone and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were examined on the number of active Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and their pumping activity in nonperfused microdissected mouse cortical collecting tubules (CCD) by measuring specific 3H-ouabain binding and ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake. In adrenalectomized (ADX) animals, incubation of CCD with AVP (10(-8) M for 5 min) had no effect on the number of pumps. In contrast, in ADX animals replete with aldosterone, AVP induced a approximately equal to 40% increase in the number of pumps. This was accompanied by a approximately equal to 60-65% increase in ouabain-sensitive Rb uptake. AVP effect was dose-dependent (10(-10)-10(-8) M) and was reproduced by dDAVP, forskolin and 8-Br cAMP, indicating a V2 pathway. It was inhibited by amiloride 10(-5) M, and did not occur in CCD incubated in hyperosmotic solution, suggesting that the signal was transmitted via apical sodium entry and cell swelling. Finally, the AVP-dependent increase in the number of pumps was rapid (within 5 min) and transient (< 25 min). These results demonstrate that, in the CCD, aldosterone and AVP act synergistically to increase not only the apical sodium entry but also the basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase transport capacity: AVP allows a rapid recruitment and/or activation of an aldosterone-dependent pool of latent Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure (RIHP) has recently been cited as an important mediator of pressure natriuresis. Our objective was to determine the roles of vasopressin V1 and V2 receptors in mediating the effects of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) on RIHP and sodium excretion (UNaV). The effects of RPP on renal hemodynamics, RIHP, and UNaV were assessed in control Wistar rats (n = 10) and in rats pretreated with intravenous infusion of the specific nonpeptide vasopressin V1 antagonist OPC-21268 (100 micrograms.kg-1.min-1; n = 8) and the V2 antagonist OPC-31260 (40 micrograms.kg-1.min-1; n = 10). Increasing RPP from 95 to 118 mm Hg in control rats increased RIHP (6.4 +/- 1.0 to 9.9 +/- 1.3 mm Hg), UNaV (0.29 +/- 0.03 to 0.52 +/- 0.05 muEq.min-1.g-1), urine flow rate (UFR) (5.2 +/- 0.3 to 7.6 +/- 0.6 microL.min-1.g-1), and the fractional excretion of sodium (FENa). In rats pretreated with V1 antagonist, similar results were obtained for urine osmolality and the responses of RIHP, UNaV, UFR, and FENa to RPP. V2 antagonist reduced urine osmolality (392 +/- 47 compared with 979 +/- 88 mOsm.kg-1 in control rats) and enhanced the responses of UNaV (0.43 +/- 0.08 to 1.32 +/- 0.32 microEq.min-1), UFR (17.8 +/- 3.2 to 29.2 +/- 3.8 microL.min-1.g-1), and FENa to RPP, but the RIHP response resembled that observed in the control and V1 antagonist groups. Renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate did not differ among the three groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that arginine vasopressin (AVP) has at least two types of receptors in the kidney: V1a receptor and V2 receptor. In this study, microlocalization of mRNA coding for V1a and V2 receptors was carried out in the rat kidney using a reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. Large signals for V1a receptor PCR product were detected in the glomerulus, initial cortical collecting duct, cortical collecting duct, outer medullary collecting duct, inner medullary collecting duct, and arcuate artery. Small but detectable signals were found in proximal convoluted and straight tubules, inner medullary thin limbs, and medullary thick ascending limbs. Large signals for V2 receptor mRNA were detected in the cortical collecting duct, outer medullary collecting duct, and inner medullary collecting duct. Small signals for V2 receptor were found in the inner medullary thick limbs, medullary thick ascending limbs, and initial cortical collecting duct. Next, we investigated V1a and V2 receptor mRNA regulation in the dehydrated state. During a 72-h water restriction state, the plasma AVP level increased and V2 receptor mRNA decreased in collecting ducts. In contrast, V1a receptor mRNA did not change significantly. Thus, the two AVP receptor subtypes are distributed differently along the nephron, and these mRNAs are regulated differently in the dehydrated state.

Abstract
Both AVP and dDAVP effect a transient increase in cytosolic free calcium (iCa2+) in cortical collecting tubule (CCT) cells. To investigate the physiological role of this increase in iCa2+, we examined the effect of TMB-8, a putative inhibitor of iCa2+ release, on the initial and sustained phase of AVP- and dDAVP-stimulated water permeability (Pf) in isolated, perfused CCTs. Pretreatment of tubules with TMB-8, 50 microM, suppressed the increase in osmotic water permeability (Pf) induced by 10 microU/ml AVP and dDAVP, but had no effect on the sustained phase of the response. When increased to 100 microM. TMB-8 inhibited the sustained phase of AVP action. A similar pattern was observed on AVP-stimulated adenyly cyclase activity in rabbit renal membranes. Pretreatment of tubules with 50 microM TMB-8 attenuated the initial increase in Pf in response to cholera toxin but not to 8-Br-cAMP or forskolin. There was no effect of this concentration of TMB-8 on the sustained phase of these agonists. These studies suggest that, in lower concentrations, TMB-8 inhibits the mobilization of iCa2+, which is important for the interaction of Gs with the catalytic unit of adenylyl cyclase and the initial increase in AVP-stimulated Pf. In higher concentrations, TMB-8 inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity directly.

Abstract
The effect of antidiuretic hormone [( Arg]vasopressin, ADH) on intracellular calcium activity [Ca2+]i of isolated perfused rabbit cortical thick ascending limb (cTAL) segments was investigated with the calcium fluorescent dye fura-2. The fluorescence emission ratio at 500-530 nm (R) was monitored as a measure of [Ca2+]i after excitation at 335 nm and 380 nm. In addition the transepithelial potential difference (PDte) and transepithelial resistance (Rte) of the tubule were measured simultaneously. After addition of ADH (1-4 nmol/l) to the basolateral side of the cTAL R increased rapidly, but transiently, from 0.84 +/- 0.05 to 1.36 +/- 0.08 (n = 46). Subsequently, within 7-12 min R fell to control values even in the continued presence of ADH. The increase in R evoked by the ADH application corresponded to a rise of [Ca2+]i from a basal level of 155 +/- 23 nmol/l [Ca2+]i up to 429 +/- 53 nmol/l [Ca2+]i at the peak of the transient, as estimated by intra- or extracellular calibration procedures. The electrical parameters (PDte and Rte) of the tubules were not changed by ADH. The ADH-induced Ca2+ transient was dependent on the presence of Ca2+ on the basolateral side, whereas luminal Ca2+ had no effect. d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2]2,Arg8vasopressin, a V1 antagonist (Manning compound, 10 nmol/l), blocked the ADH effect on [Ca2+]i completely (n = 5). The V2 agonist 1-desamino-[D-Arg8]vasopressin (10 nmol/l, n = 4), and the cAMP analogues, dibutyryl-cAMP (400 mumol/l, n = 4), 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (100 mumol/l, n = 1) or 8-bromo-cAMP (200 mumol/l, n = 4) had no influence on [Ca2+]i. The ADH-induced [Ca2+]i increase was not sensitive to the calcium-channel blockers nifedipine and verapamil (100 mumol/l, n = 4). We conclude that ADH acts via V1 receptors to increase cytosolic calcium activity transiently in rabbit cortical thick ascending limb segments, possibly by an initial Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and by further Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ channels in the basolateral membrane. These channels are insensitive to L-type Ca2+ channel blockers, e.g. nifedipine and verapamil.

Abstract
The effect of antidiuretic hormone (arginine vasopressin, AVP) on transepithelial Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ net transports was investigated in medullary (mTAL) and cortical (cTAL) segments of the thick ascending limb (TAL) of mouse nephron, perfused in vitro. Transepithelial net fluxes (JNa+, JCl-, JK+, JCa2+, JMg2+) were determined by electron probe analysis of the collected tubular fluid. Transepithelial potential difference (PDte) and transepithelial resistance (Rte) were measured simultaneously. cTAL segments were bathed and perfused with isoosmolal, HCO3- containing Ringer solutions, mTAL segments were bathed and perfused with isoosmolal HCO3- free Ringer solutions. In cTAL segments, AVP (10(-10) mol.l-1) significantly increased JMg2+ and JCa2+ from 0.39 +/- 0.08 to 0.58 +/- 0.10 and from 0.86 +/- 0.13 to 1.19 +/- 0.15 pmol.min-1 mm-1 respectively. Neither JNa+ nor JCl-, (JNa+: 213 +/- 30 versus 221 +/- 28 pmol.min-1 mm-1, JCl-: 206 +/- 30 versus 220 +/- 23 pmol.min-1 mm-1) nor PDte (13.4 +/- 1.3 mV versus 14.1 +/- 1.9 mV) or Rte (24.6 +/- 6.5 omega cm2 versus 22.6 +/- 6.4 omega cm2) were significantly changed by AVP. No significant effect of AVP on net K+ transport was observed. In mTAL segments, Mg2+ and Ca2+ net transports were close to zero and AVP (10(-10) mol.l-1) elicited no effect. However NaCl net reabsorption was significantly stimulated by the hormone, JNa+ increased from 107 +/- 33 to 148 +/- 30 and JCl- from 121 +/- 33 to 165 +/- 32 pmol.min-1 mm-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) upon adenylate cyclase (AC) activity has been determined in defined microdissected renal tubules isolated from collagenase-treated rabbit kidneys. In the presence of 10 microM GTP, 1 microM VIP gave marked stimulations of AC over basal values in the bright portion of the distal convoluted tubule (DCTb) (10.1-fold), and in the collecting tubule isolated from the inner stripe of the outer medulla (OMCTi, 7.8-fold). Less pronounced effects of VIP were found in the medullary collecting tubule isolated from the outer stripe (2.5-fold) and in the granular portion of the distal convoluted tubule (2.0-fold). VIP stimulation of AC activity in these segments amounted to 25 to 40% of the effect elicited by other agonists (arginine vasopressin, calcitonin or parathyroid hormone) in their respective target segments. A low response to VIP was observed in the cortical thick ascending limb (1.8-fold) which represented less than 5% of the calcitonin-stimulated AC activity. In the thin descending limb VIP produced a slight and variable stimulation of AC. VIP was without effect upon AC in the convoluted and straight portions of the proximal tubule, the medullary thick ascending limb and the cortical collecting tubule. Half-maximal stimulation of AC by VIP was observed at 26 +/- 10 nM (n = 3) in OMCTi and at 19 nM (n = 2) in DCTb. Related peptides glucagon, secretin and PHI gave lower stimulations of AC compared to VIP in OMCTi. Conversely for rat OMCTi, under identical conditions, glucagon was much more effective than VIP.

Abstract
We produced a monoclonal antibody, gamma G6, that reacts only with one cell type in the connecting (CNT) and collecting tubules (CT) of rabbit kidney. The gamma G6 antibody-reactive cells revealed carbonic anhydrase activity, showing one of the characteristics of intercalated (IC) cells. Using immunoelectron microscopy, we demonstrated that IC cells in cortical CT consist of the gamma G6 antibody-reactive and non-reactive cells, whereas all IC cells in medullary CT were reactive with the gamma G6 antibody. We used a cell sorter to enrich this cell type from the isolated kidney cell suspension. When we measured hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase (ACase) activities of the sorted cells, the presence of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and isoproterenol (ISO) almost doubled ACase activities when compared with the basal values; however, no additive effect of PTH and ISO was observed. They showed no calcitonin-sensitive ACase and negligible arginine vasopressin (AVP)-sensitive ACase. We suggest that the IC cells recognized by the gamma G6 monoclonal antibody possess a receptor(s) for PTH and/or ISO but not for AVP in the CNT and CT, although it remains to be clarified whether the reactivities to PTH and ISO in these cells originate from single or dual cells.

Abstract
Because the medullary thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is the target of several polypeptide hormones that stimulate adenyl cyclase in this nephron segment, we examined the effects of cyclic AMP on thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle cells isolated by enzymatic digestion and density gradient centrifugation from the outer medulla of the rabbit kidney. The functional parameter that was measured was transport dependent oxygen consumption. Oxygen consumption was measured using a polarographic oxygen electrode in a constant temperature chamber. We found that dibutyryl cyclic AMP inhibited oxygen consumption in a dose dependent way. Maximal inhibition was observed at a concentration of 10(-5) M. The effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP was not present in the absence of either sodium, chloride or both implying that its effect is restricted to the sodium and chloride dependent oxygen consumption. The effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP was additive to that of furosemide 10(-4) M while that of furosemide was not additive to that of cyclic AMP suggesting that the site of action of cyclic AMP is distal to that of furosemide. The effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP was not additive to that of ouabain and was absent in cells where oxygen consumption was stimulated with amphotericin B in the absence of chloride indicating that it has no effect on Na-K-ATPase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Wistar rats were injected just once, intraperitoneally with cortisol (1 microgram/g) or saline at the age of 5 days. The cortisol-treated rats did not differ significantly in the (U/P)osm ratio from the saline-treated controls before 15 days of life. Their response to ADH was distinct but weaker than in the saline controls aged 30 days. This reduced response persisted to 60 days of life. In the collecting tubule fragments, (3H)AVP specific binding was lower in the cortisol-treated rats than in the controls at the age of 20 and 60 days. There was no (3H)AVP specific binding in the proximal convoluted tubules in the cortisol- and saline-injected rats of both ages. The ontogenetic patterns of cAMP specific binding in the papillary cytosolic fraction were different: the early increase in cAMP binding was protracted in the cortisol-treated rats, and no peak appeared at the age of 25 days. Cytosolic protein kinase activity was lower, no peak appeared at 30 days, no activation of protein kinase occurred to the end of weaning in the cortisol-treated rats. The difference between the cortisol and saline groups was abolished by day 30. The interference of cortisol with the ontogenetic changes in AVP binding capacity and cAMP-dependent protein kinase appears to be a plausible cause of the altered development of the response to ADH.

Abstract
In previous studies it has been demonstrated that pharmacological administration of secretin can alter urine output. Whether the effect is due to a direct action on kidney was investigated by examining the effect of secretin on renal output, and determining whether there were secretin receptors and a secretin sensitive adenylate cyclase in the kidney. Secretin had an antidiuretic action on kidney when administered intravenously to anesthetized hydrated rats. In addition, binding sites for (125I)-secretin, and a secretin sensitive adenylate cyclase were identified in rat kidney. Binding was saturable and reversable and was half maximally inhibited by 1 X 10(-7) M synthetic porcine secretin. Autoradiographic studies revealed a high density of secretin binding sites in the outer medulla of the kidney, a region that is composed mainly of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, and is also the major site of action for the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. The data indicate that a functional secretin receptor system exists in kidney which may have a physiological role in regulating urine output.

Abstract
We have used a stable clonal variant (D + Sc), isolated from the LLC-PK1 pig kidney-derived cell line and selected for its extensive capacity to form domes, in order to study the hormonal modulation of epithelial permeability in culture. Calcitonin, vasopressin, and other agents that raise intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate levels caused a rapid and dramatic decrease in the size and number of domes. This effect was independent of RNA and protein synthesis, and thus appeared unrelated to the production of urokinase, a proteinase synthesized by the cells in response to these agents. Calcitonin caused a decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance, suggesting that the effect of the hormone on domes was due to an increase in the permeability of a paracellular pathway. Thus, in addition to the wellknown effects of vasopressin on collecting duct permeability, part of the in vivo effect(s) of calcitonin and vasopressin on the renal tubule might also involve alterations of epithelial permeability related to those described here.

Abstract
In rat renal medullary membranes, we have examined modulatory effects of guanine nucleotides on binding of arginine8 vasopressin (AVP) to its receptor. Equilibrium binding studies analyzed by an iterative curve fitting program revealed an interaction of (3H) AVP with a single class of binding sites with a dissociation constant of 1.4 +/- 0.2 nM and a binding site concentration of 201 +/- 37 fmol/mg protein (n = 6). With the addition of 100 microM guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), the binding site concentration was significantly (p less than 0.01) reduced to 151 +/- 36 fmol/mg protein with no change in receptor affinity. The nonhydrolyzable analogues, guanosine-5'-0-(3-thiophosphate) and Gpp(NH)p were the most potent inhibitors of (3H) AVP binding. Guanosine 5'-triphosphate and guanosine-5'-diphosphate were both relatively poor inhibitors. Guanosine-5'-monophosphate and adenosine 5'-triphosphate did not inhibit (3H) AVP binding at concentrations up to 100 microM. Furthermore, 100 microM Gpp(NH)p accelerated the dissociation of (3H) AVP from the receptor. We conclude that guanine nucleotides are important modulators of AVP binding to the V2 receptor subtype in the renal medulla.

Abstract
The thick ascending limb of Henle (TAL) in the rat until recently has been considered a morphologically homogeneous structure despite physiologic and biochemical evidence to the contrary. The present study was designed to examine the ultrastructural characteristics of the TAL in the inner cortex and the outer and inner stripes of the outer medulla using qualitative and quantitative transmission electron microscopy. Kidneys of male Sprague-Dawley rats were preserved by in vivo perfusion with glutaraldehyde for light and electron microscopy. The peritubular diameter and cell height were determined by direct measurements on tubule cross sections. Morphometric analyses were performed on montages of tubule cross sections. The peritubular diameter of the TAL was similar in the three regions under investigation, but the TAL cells were taller in the inner stripe than in the inner cortex and outer stripe. Morphometry revealed significant differences between the three regions with respect to the mean tubular cross-sectional area (AT), the surface density (SV), and the surface area per mm of tubule (ST) of apical and basolateral plasma membranes, and the volume density (VV) of mitochondria. The major morphologic division appeared to be between the inner stripe segment and the remainder of the TAL. These findings document the presence of significant morphologic heterogeneity of the rat TAL.

Abstract
The effects of (1-desamino-8-D-arginine) vasopressin (dDAVP) on water and electrolyte transport in the distal tubule were investigated by micropuncture. Since, in addition to antidiuretic hormone, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and glucagon stimulate the adenylate-cyclase system in this nephron segment, experiments were performed on hormone-deprived rats, i.e. homozygous DI Brattleboro rats with reduced levels of endogenous parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and glucagon. Along the distal tubule, dDAVP enhanced water, Cl, Na and Ca reabsorption and sharply increased net K secretion. Phosphate transport was left unchanged and Mg reabsorption was not significantly altered by dDAVP between the early and late distal tubule. Antidiuretic hormone also slightly increased water filtration rate in the superficial nephron, which rose in proportion to whole kidney glomerular filtration rate. It is concluded that, in rats: antidiuretic hormone stimulates water, NaCl and Ca absorption and enhances K secretion along the distal tubule and the tubular effects of dDAVP on electrolyte transport in the loop and distal tubule are responsible for decreasing Mg and Ca urinary excretion.
