Abstract
The regulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in kidney epithelial cells is important in at least 2 groups of disorders, namely water balance disorders and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Focusing on the latter, we review genes that code for proteins that are determinants of cAMP levels in cells. We identify which of these determinants are expressed in the 14 kidney tubule segments using recently published RNA-sequencing and protein mass spectrometry data ("autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-omics"). This includes G protein-coupled receptors, adenylyl cyclases, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, cAMP transporters, cAMP-binding proteins, regulator of G protein-signaling proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases, arrestins, calcium transporters, and calcium-binding proteins. In addition, compartmentalized cAMP signaling in the primary cilium is discussed, and a specialized database of the proteome of the primary cilium of cultured "IMCD3" cells is provided as an online resource (https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CiliumProteome/). Overall, this article provides a general resource in the form of a curated list of proteins likely to play roles in determination of cAMP levels in kidney epithelial cells and, therefore, likely to be determinants of progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

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
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary gland during states of hyperosmolality or hypovolemia. AVP is a peptide hormone, with antidiuretic and antinatriuretic properties. It allows the kidneys to increase body water retention predominantly by increasing the cell surface expression of aquaporin water channels in the collecting duct alongside increasing the osmotic driving forces for water reabsorption. The antinatriuretic effects of AVP are mediated by the regulation of sodium transport throughout the distal nephron, from the thick ascending limb through to the collecting duct, which in turn partially facilitates osmotic movement of water. In this review, we will discuss the regulatory role of AVP in sodium transport and summarize the effects of AVP on various molecular targets, including the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter NKCC2, the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter NCC, and the epithelial sodium channel ENaC.

Abstract
The anti-diuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the pituitary upon hypovolemia or hypernatremia, and regulates water reabsorption in the renal collecting duct principal cells. Binding of AVP to the arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) in the basolateral membrane leads to translocation of aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channels to the apical membrane of the collecting duct principal cells, inducing water permeability of the membrane. This results in water reabsorption from the pro-urine into the medullary interstitium following an osmotic gradient. Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disorder associated with mutations in either the AVPR2 or AQP2 gene, causing the inability of patients to concentrate their pro-urine, which leads to a high risk of dehydration. This review focuses on the current knowledge regarding the cell biological aspects of congenital X-linked, autosomal-recessive and autosomal-dominant NDI while specifically addressing the latest developments in the field. Based on deepened mechanistic understanding, new therapeutic strategies are currently being explored, which we also discuss here.

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
Renal excretion of water and major electrolytes exhibits a significant circadian rhythm. This functional periodicity is believed to result, at least in part, from circadian changes in secretion/reabsorption capacities of the distal nephron and collecting ducts. Here, we studied the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms in the distal nephron segments, i.e., distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and connecting tubule (CNT) and the cortical collecting duct (CCD). Temporal expression analysis performed on microdissected mouse DCT/CNT or CCD revealed a marked circadian rhythmicity in the expression of a large number of genes crucially involved in various homeostatic functions of the kidney. This analysis also revealed that both DCT/CNT and CCD possess an intrinsic circadian timing system characterized by robust oscillations in the expression of circadian core clock genes (clock, bma11, npas2, per, cry, nr1d1) and clock-controlled Par bZip transcriptional factors dbp, hlf, and tef. The clock knockout mice or mice devoid of dbp/hlf/tef (triple knockout) exhibit significant changes in renal expression of several key regulators of water or sodium balance (vasopressin V2 receptor, aquaporin-2, aquaporin-4, alphaENaC). Functionally, the loss of clock leads to a complex phenotype characterized by partial diabetes insipidus, dysregulation of sodium excretion rhythms, and a significant decrease in blood pressure. Collectively, this study uncovers a major role of molecular clock in renal function.

Abstract
Mammals adapted to a great variety of habitats with different accessibility to water. In addition to changes in kidney morphology, e.g. the length of the loops of Henle, several hormone systems are involved in adaptation to limited water supply, among them the renal-neurohypophysial vasopressin/vasopressin receptor system. Comparison of over 80 mammalian V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) orthologs revealed high structural and functional conservation of this key component involved in renal water reabsorption. Although many mammalian species have unlimited access to water there is no evidence for complete loss of V2R function indicating an essential role of V2R activity for survival even of those species. In contrast, several marsupial V2R orthologs show a significant increase in basal receptor activity. An increased vasopressin-independent V2R activity can be interpreted as a shift in the set point of the renal-neurohypophysial hormone circuit to realize sufficient water reabsorption already at low hormone levels. As found in other desert mammals arid-adapted marsupials show high urine osmolalities. The gain of basal V2R function in several marsupials may contribute to the increased urine concentration abilities and, therefore, provide an advantage to maintain water and electrolyte homeostasis under limited water supply conditions.

Abstract
The V(2) vasopressin receptor gene contains an alternative splice site in exon-3, which leads to the generation of two splice variants (V(2a) and V(2b)) first identified in the kidney. The open reading frame of the alternatively spliced V(2b) transcript encodes a truncated receptor, showing the same amino acid sequence as the canonical V(2a) receptor up to the sixth transmembrane segment, but displaying a distinct sequence to the corresponding seventh transmembrane segment and C-terminal domain relative to the V(2a) receptor. Here, we demonstrate the postnatal expression of V(2a) and V(2b) variants in the rat cerebellum. Most importantly, we showed by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry that both V(2) splice variants were preferentially expressed in Purkinje cells, from early to late postnatal development. In addition, both variants were transiently expressed in the neuroblastic external granule cells and Bergmann fibers. These results indicate that the cellular distributions of both splice variants are developmentally regulated, and suggest that the transient expression of the V(2) receptor is involved in the mechanisms of cerebellar cytodifferentiation by AVP. Finally, transfected CHO-K1 expressing similar amounts of both V(2) splice variants, as that found in the cerebellum, showed a significant reduction in the surface expression of V(2a) receptors, suggesting that the differential expression of the V(2) splice variants regulates the vasopressin signaling in the cerebellum.

Abstract
The kidney has a cortico-medullary interstitial gradient of decreasing pH and increasing concentrations of sodium chloride and urea, but the influence of these gradients on receptor signaling is largely unknown. Here, we measured G-protein coupled receptor function in LLC-PK1 cells acutely exposed to conditions mimicking different kidney regions. Signaling through the parathyroid hormone receptor, normally expressed in the cortex, was greatly reduced at an acidic pH similar to that of the inner medulla. Parathyroid hormone receptor, tagged with green fluorescent protein, showed no ligand-induced internalization. In contrast, under both acidic and hyperosmotic conditions, vasopressin increased intracellular cAMP, and upon binding to its type 2 receptor (V2R) was internalized and degraded. Dose-displacement binding assays with selective vasopressin/oxytocin receptor ligands under inner medullary conditions indicated a shift in the V2R pharmacological profile. Oxytocin did not bind to the V2R, as it does under normal conditions and the vasopressin type 1 receptor (V1R) had reduced affinity for vasopressin compared to the V2R in low pH and high osmolality. We suggest that the cortico-medullary gradient causes a receptor-specific selectivity in ligand binding that is of functional significance to the kidney. While the gradient is important for urinary concentration, it may also play a substantial role in fine-tuning of the vasopressin response through the V2R.

Abstract
The antidiuretic effect of vasopressin is mediated by V2 receptors (V2R) that are located in kidney connecting tubules and collecting ducts. This study provides evidence that V2R signaling is negatively regulated by regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2), a member of the family of RGS proteins. This study demonstrates that (1) RGS2 expression in the kidney is restricted to the vasopressin-sensitive part of the nephron (thick ascending limb, connecting tubule, and collecting duct); (2) expression of RGS2 is rapidly upregulated by vasopressin; (3) the vasopressin-dependent accumulation of cAMP, the principal messenger of V2R signaling, is significantly higher in collecting ducts that are microdissected from the RGS2(-/-) mice compared with their wild-type littermates; and (4) analysis of urine output of mice that were exposed to water restriction followed by acute water loading revealed that RGS2(-/-) mice exhibit an increased renal responsiveness to vasopressin. It is proposed that RGS2 is involved in negative feedback regulation of V2R signaling.

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
In normal rats, vasopressin and hyperosmolality enhance urea permeability (P(urea)) in the terminal, but not in the initial inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), a process thought to occur through the UT-A1 urea transporter. In the terminal IMCD, UT-A1 is detected as 97- and 117-kDa glycoproteins. However, in the initial IMCD, only the 97-kDa form is detected. During streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, UT-A1 protein abundance is increased, and the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein appears in the initial IMCD. We hypothesize that the 117-kDa glycoprotein mediates the vasopressin- and osmolality-induced changes in P(urea). Thus, in the present study, we measured P(urea) in in vitro perfused initial IMCDs from diabetic rats by imposing a 5 mM bath-to-lumen urea gradient without any osmotic gradient. Basal P(urea) was similar in control vs. diabetic rats (3 +/- 1 vs. 5 +/- 1 x 10(-5) cm/s, n = 4, P = not significant). Vasopressin (10 nM) significantly increased P(urea) to 16 +/- 5 x 10(-5) cm/s (n = 4, P < 0.05) in diabetic but not in control rats. Forskolin (10 microM, adenylyl cyclase activator) also significantly increased P(urea) in diabetic rats. In contrast, increasing osmolality to 690 mosmol/kg H2O did not change P(urea) in diabetic rats. We conclude that initial IMCDs from diabetic rats have vasopressin- and forskolin-, but not hyperosmolality-stimulated P(urea). The appearance of vasopressin-stimulated P(urea) in initial IMCDs correlates with an increase in UT-A1 protein abundance and the appearance of the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein in this region during diabetes. This suggests that the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein is necessary for vasopressin-stimulated urea transport.

Abstract
In order to assess if oxytocin- and vasopressin-induced mitogenic effects detected on small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines could be transposed on primary SCLC, the aim of the present work was to identify mediators of these mitogenic actions on primary tumours samples. This was addressed on normal human lung tissue, on SCLC and on non-SCLC (NSCLC). Herein, we observe, in normal human lung, that OTR is colocalized with vascular endothelial cells of the lung and is not expressed by lung cells of epithelial nature. We detected mRNA amplification of V1aR, V2R and of a V2R variant. We observed that 86% of SCLC biopsies analyzed expressed at least the OTR and that 71% expressed the OTR, the V1aR and the V2R altogether. Comparatively, 50% of NSCLC biopsies tested expressed at least the OTR and 32% expressed the OTR, the V1aR and the V2R altogether. The occurrence of the V1bR/V3R is of 28 and 18% for SCLC and NSCLC, respectively. Nevertheless, for the SCLC biopsies analyzed in this study, V1bR/V3R expression correlates, in all cases, with the expression of all the other neurohypophysial peptide receptors. Our results suggest that neurohypophysial peptide antagonists may offer promise as a potential new therapeutic modality for the treatment of lung cancer expressing at least one of the neurhypophysial peptide receptor subtypes.

Abstract
The identification and cloning of the urea transporter (UT) in papilla and upper pelvic epithelium of sheep kidney and the effect of a 5-week-lasting low protein diet on UT mRNAs expression in these structures are reported. Using degenerate primers we cloned by RT-PCR a 770-base pairs UT-A cDNA fragment. The deduced amino acid sequence shared 92% and 93% identity with UT-A2 protein from rabbit and rat, and from human, respectively. Quantification of UT-A mRNAs expression after LP diet was performed by quantitative RT-PCR using UT-A mutant cRNA. Compared to normal protein fed sheep, low protein diet was associated with a significant reduction of UT-A mRNA levels in pelvic epithelium (852+/-172 vs. 2024+/-260 molecules, P<0.01) and a tendency to its increase in papilla (7959+/-1741 vs. 5447+/-1040 molecules, NS). Functional studies confirmed that kidneys of low protein fed sheep increased their ability to reduce urea losses. The reduction of UT-A expression in the pelvic epithelium lining the outer medulla could be relevant for the renal conservation of urea in protein restricted sheep.

Abstract
Alternative splicing is one of the most important mechanisms to generate a large number of mRNA and protein isoforms from the surprisingly low number of human genes. Unlike promoter activity, which primarily regulates the amount of transcripts, alternative splicing changes the structure of transcripts and their encoded proteins. Together with nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), at least 25% of all alternative exons are predicted to regulate transcript abundance. Molecular analyses during the last decade demonstrate that alternative splicing determines the binding properties, intracellular localization, enzymatic activity, protein stability and posttranslational modifications of a large number of proteins. The magnitude of the effects range from a complete loss of function or acquisition of a new function to very subtle modulations, which are observed in the majority of cases reported. Alternative splicing factors regulate multiple pre-mRNAs and recent identification of physiological targets shows that a specific splicing factor regulates pre-mRNAs with coherent biological functions. Therefore, evidence is now accumulating that alternative splicing coordinates physiologically meaningful changes in protein isoform expression and is a key mechanism to generate the complex proteome of multicellular organisms.

Abstract
In rat kidney, two alternatively spliced transcripts are generated from the V2 vasopressin receptor gene. The large transcript (1.2 kb) encodes the canonical V2 receptor, whereas the small transcript encodes a splice variant displaying a distinct sequence corresponding to the putative seventh transmembrane domain and the intracellular C terminus of the V2 receptor. This work showed that the small spliced transcript is translated in the rat kidney collecting tubules. However, the protein encoded by the small transcript (here called the V2b splice variant) is retained inside the cell, in contrast to the preferential surface distribution of the V2 receptor (here called the V2a receptor). Cells expressing the V2b splice variant do not exhibit binding to 3H-labeled vasopressin. Interestingly, we found that expression of the splice variant V2b down-regulates the surface expression of the V2a receptor, most likely via the formation of V2a.V2b heterodimers as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments between the V2a receptor and the V2b splice variant. The V2b splice variant would then be acting as a dominant negative. The effect of the V2b splice variant is specific, as it does not affect the surface expression of the G protein-coupled interleukin-8 receptor (CXCR1). Furthermore, the sequence encompassing residues 242-339, corresponding to the C-terminal domain of the V2b splice variant, also down-regulates the surface expression of the V2a receptor. We suggest that some forms of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are due to overexpression of the splice variant V2b, which could retain the wild-type V2a receptor inside the cell via the formation of V2a.V2b heterodimers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the rat cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL), intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) responses to angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin III (Ang III) were mediated by the Ang II subtype 1A receptor (AT1A-R), whereas the arginine vasopressin (AVP)-dependent cAMP accumulation involved the vasopressin receptor type 2 (V2-R). This work was performed in CTAL to investigate the crosstalk between these two receptors by studying their transduction pathways. METHODS The cAMP-dependent pathway was activated by 10 minutes of prestimulation with either forskolin, CTP-cAMP or AVP, and Ang II/Ang III-induced [Ca2+]i responses were assessed. RESULTS Pretreatment with 5 micromol/L forskolin significantly enhanced the [Ca2+]i response induced by 10-7 mol/L either Ang II or Ang III. Analysis of dose-response curves to Ang III in forskolin-treated CTAL demonstrated that the maximal [Ca2+]i response was significantly increased without altering the EC50. In Ca2+-free medium, the forskolin-induced potentiation of the [Ca2+]i response to Ang III was weaker but always present, suggesting that this effect was not only due to intracellular Ca2+ release but also to extracellular Ca2+ influx. Furthermore, the fact that the forskolin-induced potentiation of the [Ca2+]i response to Ang III was blocked by 10 micromol/L H-89, a specific protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, indicated that this effect occurred via activation of PKA. Finally, the potentiation of the [Ca2+]i response to Ang III also was observed following pretreatment with 100 micromol/L CTP-cAMP or 10-7 mol/L AVP. CONCLUSIONS In CTAL, there is a positive crosstalk between the adenylyl cyclase and phosphoinositide pathways mediated by V2- and AT1A-R, respectively, through activation of PKA.

Abstract
Urea transport in the kidney is mediated by a family of transporter proteins that includes renal urea transporters (UT-A) and erythrocyte urea transporters (UT-B). Because newborn rats are not capable of producing concentrated urine, we examined the time of expression and the distribution of UT-A and UT-B in the developing rat kidney by light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Kidneys from 16-, 18-, and 20-day-old fetuses, 1-, 4-, 7-, 14-, and 21-day-old pups, and adult animals were studied. In the adult kidney, UT-A was expressed intensely in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) and terminal portion of the short-loop descending thin limb (DTL) and weakly in long-loop DTL in the outer part of the inner medulla. UT-A immunoreactivity was not present in the fetal kidney but was observed in the IMCD and DTL in 1-day-old pups. The intensity of UT-A immunostaining in the IMCD gradually increased during postnatal development. In 4- and 7-day-old pups, UT-A immunoreactivity was present in the DTL at the border between the outer and inner medulla. In 14- and 21-day-old pups, strong UT-A immunostaining was observed in the terminal part of short-loop DTL in the outer medulla, and weak labeling remained in long-loop DTL descending into the outer part of the inner medulla. In the adult kidney, there was intense staining for UT-B in descending vasa recta (DVR) and weak labeling of glomeruli. In the developing kidney, UT-B was first observed in the DVR of a 20-day-old fetus. After birth there was a striking increase in the number of UT-B-positive DVR, in association with the formation of vascular bundles. The intensity of immunostaining remained strong in the outer medulla but gradually decreased in the inner medulla. We conclude that the expression of urea transporters in short-loop DTL and DVR coincides with the development of the ability to produce a concentrated urine.

Abstract
The UT-A1 urea transporter plays an important role in maintaining the hyperosmolar milieu of the inner medulla. Vasopressin increases urea permeability in rat terminal inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs) within 5-10 min. To elucidate the mechanism, IMCD suspensions were radiolabeled with [(32)P]orthophosphate. UT-A1 was immunoprecipitated and analyzed by autoradiogram and Western blot. Both the 97- and 117-kDa UT-A1 proteins were phosphorylated. Vasopressin treatment increased the phosphorylation of both UT-A1 proteins at 2 min, which peaked at 5-10 min and remained elevated for up to 30 min. There was a discernable increase in UT-A1 phosphorylation with 10 pM and a 50% increase with 10-100 nM vasopressin. 1-Desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) or 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (CPT-cAMP) also increased UT-A1 phosphorylation. The vasopressin-stimulated increase in UT-A1 phosphorylation was blocked by H-89 or a specific peptide inhibitor of protein kinase A. Phosphatase inhibitors (okadaic acid, calyculin) increased UT-A1 phosphorylation. We conclude that vasopressin increases UT-A1 phosphorylation via protein kinase A within 2-5 min in rat IMCDs. This suggests that phosphorylation of UT-A1 may be the mechanism by which vasopressin rapidly increases urea permeability in vivo.

Abstract
Renal sodium retention is responsible for ascites and edema in nephrotic syndrome. In puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced nephrosis, sodium retention originates in part from the collecting duct, and it is associated with increased Na,K-ATPase activity in the cortical collecting duct (CCD). The aims of this study were to evaluate whether the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) also participates to sodium retention and to determine the mechanisms responsible for stimulation of Na,K-ATPase in CCD. PAN nephrosis increased Na,K-ATPase activity in the CCD but not in OMCD. The two-fold increase of Na,K-ATPase activity in CCD was associated with two-fold increases in the number of alpha and beta Na,K-ATPase subunits mRNA determined by quantitative RT-PCR and of the total amount of Na,K-ATPase alpha subunits estimated by Western blotting. PAN nephrosis also increased two-fold the amount of Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit at the basolateral membrane of CCD principal cells, as determined by Western blotting after biotinylation and streptavidin precipitation and by immunofluorescence. The intracellular pool of latent Na,K-ATPase units also increased in size and was no longer recruitable by vasopressin and cAMP. This unresponsiveness of the intracellular pool of Na,K-ATPase to vasopressin was not the result of any alteration of the molecular and functional expression of the vasopressin V(2) receptor/adenylyl cyclase (AC) complex. It is concluded that PAN nephrosis (1) does not alter sodium reabsorption in OMCD, (2) is associated with increased synthesis and membrane expression of Na,K-ATPase in the CCD, and (3) alters the normal trafficking of intracellular Na,K-ATPase units to the basolateral membrane.

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
To characterize Ca(2+) transport in newborn rat cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, we used nifedipine, which in adult rat distal tubules inhibits the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) increase in response to hormonal activation. We found that the dihydropyridine (DHP) nifedipine (20 microM) produced an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) from 87.6 +/- 3.3 nM to 389.9 +/- 29.0 nM in 65% of the cells. Similar effects of other DHP (BAY K 8644, isradipine) were also observed. Conversely, DHPs did not induce any increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in cells obtained from proximal convoluted tubule. In CCD cells, neither verapamil nor diltiazem induced any rise in [Ca(2+)](i). Experiments in the presence of EGTA showed that external Ca(2+) was required for the nifedipine effect, while lanthanum (20 microM), gadolinium (100 microM), and diltiazem (20 microM) inhibited the effect. Experiments done in the presence of valinomycin resulted in the same nifedipine effect, showing that K(+) channels were not involved in the nifedipine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. H(2)O(2) also triggered [Ca(2+)](i) rise. However, nifedipine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase was not affected by protamine. In conclusion, the present results indicate that 1) primary cultures of cells from terminal nephron of newborn rats are a useful tool for investigating Ca(2+) transport mechanisms during growth, and 2) newborn rat CCD cells in primary culture exhibit a new apical nifedipine-activated Ca(2+) channel of capacitive type (either transient receptor potential or leak channel).

Abstract
Hyponatremia is associated with inappropriately elevated vasopressin levels. A brisk natriuresis precedes the escape from this antidiuresis. Thus, the hypothesis was that the abundance of one or more of the sodium transporters of the distal tubule (a site for fine tuning of sodium balance) would be altered during vasopressin escape. Semiquantitative immunoblotting was used to examine the regulation of abundance of several sodium transporters/channels of the thick ascending limb through the collecting duct in the rat model. Osmotic minipumps to infuse dDAVP, the V2-selective vasopressin agonist (5 ng/h) for the entire experiment, were implanted in Male Sprague-Dawley rats. After 4 d, rats were divided into a control (dry AIN-76 diet/ad libitum water) or a water-loaded (gelled-agar-AIN-76 diet/ad libitum water) group. Rats were killed after 1, 2, 3, or 7 additional days. The water-loaded rats were hyponatremic (plasma Na+, 98 to 122 mmol/L) and manifested the expected early natriuresis and diuresis of vasopressin escape. Water loading (with dDAVP infusion) resulted in increased whole-kidney abundances of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl co-transporter, the alpha-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and the 70-kD dimer of the gamma-subunit of ENaC. No changes were observed for the ss-subunit of ENaC. Similar protein changes have recently been associated with elevated aldosterone levels in rats. However, plasma aldosterone levels were significantly suppressed in this model. These data suggest that several distal sodium reabsorptive mechanisms are upregulated during vasopressin escape; this may help to attenuate the developing hyponatremia resulting from water loading when vasopressin levels are inappropriately elevated.

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
BACKGROUND Several groups have identified P2Y receptors in the basolateral membrane of the rat nephron. These studies have not covered all segments of the nephron and have relied solely on the relative potency of receptor agonists for classification. METHODS We measured purine and pyrimidine-induced changes in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in anatomically defined segments of the rat nephron. To complement these functional studies, we have used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methodology to identify specific P2Y receptor transcripts in these segments. RESULTS Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) mobilized [Ca(2+)](i) in all nephron segments, except for the thick ascending limb of Henle, which was poorly responsive. Adenosine (100 micromol/L) was without effect, confirming that the effect of ATP was mediated by P2 receptors. In the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD), there was evidence for two receptor subtypes with characteristics of P2Y(1)- and either P2Y(2)- or P2Y(4)-like receptors. A novel finding in the thin limbs was the presence of a receptor with properties of both P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptor subtypes. To aid classification, we identified P2Y receptor mRNA in rat nephron segments. In the PCT and OMCD and thin ascending limb of Henle, we found expression of P2Y(1), P2Y(2), and P2Y(4) receptors. In the descending limb of Henle, P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) mRNA was found, but P2Y(4) was not expressed. CONCLUSION These data suggest that extracellular ATP can influence tubular cell function in all segments of the rat nephron, through P2Y receptors via multiple (and coexpressed) P2Y receptor subtypes.

Abstract
Vasopressin V(2) receptors at high-density and V(1B) receptors are candidates for the V(2)-like receptor, which evokes an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) when stimulated by the vasopressin V(2) receptor agonist 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) in kidney inner medullary collecting duct. We compared the pharmacological characteristics of vasopressin V(2) and V(1B) receptors in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to those of vasopressin V(2)-like receptors in rat inner medullary collecting duct cells. The vasopressin V(1B) receptor-selective agonist [deamino-Cys(1), D-3-(Pyridyl)-Ala(2), Arg(8)]vasopressin (D3PVP) did not stimulate the [Ca(2+)](i) increase in high-density vasopressin V(2) receptor-expressing CHO cells, but did in inner medullary collecting duct cells. Moreover, the vasopressin V(1A)/V(2) receptor dual antagonist 4'-[(2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d][1] benzazepin-6-yl)carbonyl] 2-phenylbenzanilide (YM087), which has no effect on vasopressin V(1B) receptors, did not block the [Ca(2+)](i) increase in inner medullary collecting duct cells when stimulated by dDAVP and D3PVP. On reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of kidney, vasopressin V(1B) receptor mRNA was detected only in the medulla. We propose that the true nature of the vasopressin V(2)-like receptor in the inner medullary collecting duct is the vasopressin V(1B) receptor, rather than the vasopressin V(2) receptor expressed at high-density.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying age-related polyuria were investigated in 10- and 30-mo-old female WAG/Rij rats. Urinary volume and osmolality were 3.9 +/- 0.3 ml/24 h and 2,511 +/- 54 mosmol/kgH(2)O in adult rats and 12.8 +/- 0.8 ml/24 h and 1,042 +/- 44 mosmol/kgH(2)O in senescent animals. Vasopressin V(2) receptor mRNA did not significantly differ between 10 and 30 mo, and [(3)H]vasopressin binding sites in membrane papilla were reduced by 30%. The cAMP content of the papilla was unchanged with age, whereas papillary osmolality was significantly lowered in senescent animals. The expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and -4 was mostly unaltered from 10 to 30 mo. In contrast, aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and -3 (AQP3) expression was downregulated by 80 and 50%, respectively, and AQP2 was markedly redistributed into the intracellular compartment, in inner medulla of senescent animals, but not in renal cortex. These results indicate that age-related polyuria is associated with a downregulation of AQP2 and AQP3 expression in the medullary collecting duct, which is independent of vasopressin-mediated cAMP accumulation.

Abstract
Sodium transport is increased by vasopressin in the cortical collecting ducts of rats and rabbits. Here we investigate, by quantitative immunoblotting, the effects of vasopressin on abundances of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma) in rat kidney. Seven-day infusion of 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine]-vasopressin (dDAVP) to Brattleboro rats markedly increased whole kidney abundances of beta- and gamma-ENaC (to 238% and 288% of vehicle, respectively), whereas alpha-ENaC was more modestly, yet significantly, increased (to 142% of vehicle). Similarly, 7-day water restriction in Sprague-Dawley rats resulted in significantly increased abundances of beta- and gamma- but no significant change in alpha-ENaC. Acute administration of dDAVP (2 nmol) to Brattleboro rats resulted in modest, but significant, increases in abundance for all ENaC subunits, within 1 h. In conclusion, all three subunits of ENaC are upregulated by vasopressin with temporal and regional differences. These changes are too slow to play a major role in the short-term action of vasopressin to stimulate sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Long-term increases in ENaC abundance should add to the short-term regulatory mechanisms (undefined in this study) to enhance sodium transport in the renal collecting duct.

Abstract
This study evaluated whether renal escape from vasopressin-induced antidiuresis is associated with alterations of vasopressin V2 receptor binding in the kidney inner medulla. A radioligand binding assay was developed using a novel iodinated vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist to analyze vasopressin V2 receptor binding in kidney inner medullary tissue from three groups of rats: normal rats maintained on ad libitum water intake, rats treated with 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP), and rats treated with DDAVP that were also water loaded to induce renal escape from antidiuresis. Analysis of the binding data showed that DDAVP treatment reduced vasopressin V2 receptor binding to 72% of normal levels. Water loading induced a marked further down-regulation of vasopressin V2 receptor binding. This receptor down-regulation began by day 2 of water loading, which correlated with the initiation of renal vasopressin escape; by day 3 of water loading, vasopressin V2 receptor expression fell to 43% of DDAVP-treated levels. No differences in vasopressin V2 receptor binding affinities were found among the three groups. This study demonstrates that vasopressin V2 receptor binding capacity is down-regulated during renal escape from vasopressin-induced antidiuresis and suggests that both vasopressin-dependent mechanisms as well as vasopressin-independent mechanisms associated with water loading are involved in this receptor down-regulation.

Abstract
The renal urea transporter gene (UT-A) produces different transcripts in the inner medullary collecting ducts (UT-A1) and thin descending limbs of Henle's loop (UT-A2), coding for distinct proteins. Peptide-directed rabbit polyclonal antibodies were used to identify the UT-A2 protein in renal medulla of mouse and rat. In the inner stripe of outer medulla, an antibody directed to the COOH terminus of UT-A recognized a membrane protein of 55 kDa. The abundance of this 55-kDa protein was strongly increased in response to chronic infusion of the vasopressin analog 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP) in Brattleboro rats, consistent with previous evidence that UT-A2 mRNA abundance is markedly increased. Immunofluorescence labeling with the COOH-terminal antibody in Brattleboro rats revealed labeling in the lower portion of descending limbs from short-looped nephrons (in the aquaporin-1-negative portion of this segment). This UT-A labeling was increased in response to DDAVP. Increased labeling was also seen in descending limbs of long-looped nephrons in the base of the inner medulla. These results indicate that UT-A2 is expressed as a 55-kDa protein in portions of the thin descending limbs of Henle's loop and that the abundance of this protein is strongly upregulated by vasopressin.

Abstract
The vasopressin V1a receptor undergoes homologous and heterologous desensitizations which can be mimicked by activation of protein kinase C. This suggests that phosphorylation of the V1a receptor may be involved in the desensitization mechanisms. Such a phosphorylation was presently investigated in HEK 293 cells stably transfected with rat vasopressin V1a receptor. Metabolic labelling and immunoprecipitation of epitope-tagged V1a receptor evidenced a 52-kDa band and a 92-kDa band. Glycosidase treatments and immunoblotting experiments suggest that the 52-kDa band corresponds to an immature unprocessed receptor protein, whereas the 92-kDa band would correspond to a highly glycosylated form of the mature V1a receptor. Exposure of the cells to vasopressin induced a selective 32P phosphate incorporation in the 92-kDa form of the receptor. This homologous ligand-induced phosphorylation was dose dependent with maximal phosphate incorporation corresponding to four times the basal level. Stimulation of the endogenous phospholipase C-coupled m3 muscarinic receptor by carbachol-induced heterologous phosphorylation of the V1a receptor whose amplitude was half that of the homologous phosphorylation. This heterologous phosphorylation was associated with a reduced vasopressin-dependent increase in intracellular calcium.

Abstract
Among the different adenylyl cyclase (AC) isoforms, type 5 and type 6 constitute a subfamily which has the remarkable property of being inhibited by submicromolar Ca2+ concentrations in addition to Galphai-mediated processes. These independent and cumulative negative regulations are associated to a low basal enzymatic activity which can be strongly activated by Galphas-mediated interactions or forskolin. These properties ensure possible wide changes of cAMP synthesis. Regulation of cAMP synthesis by Ca2+ was studied in cultured or native cells which express naturally type 5 and/or type 6 AC, including well-defined renal epithelial cells. The results underline two characteristics of the inhibition due to agonist-elicited increase of intracellular Ca2+: i) Ca2+ rises achieved through capacitive Ca2+ entry or intracellular Ca2+ release can inhibit AC to a similar extent; and ii) in a same cell type, different agonists inducing similar overall Ca2+ rises elicit a variable inhibition of AC activity. The results suggest that a high efficiency of AC regulation by Ca2+ is linked to a requisite close localization of AC enzyme and Ca2+ rises.

Abstract
Here we present a novel isoform of the metabotropic G-protein-coupled receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The isoform, termed GABA(B)R1c (R1c), differs from the recently identified R1a and R1b receptors by an in-frame insertion of 31 amino acids between the second extracellular loop and the fifth transmembrane region. Analysis of the rat GABA(B)R1 gene demonstrates that the insertion is the result of an alternative splicing event within a 567-bp intron between exons 16 and 17. In situ hybridization in the rat brain shows a wide distribution of R1c transcripts and an overlap with the R1a and R1b transcripts. The highest mRNA levels are found in cerebellar Purkinje cells, cerebral cortex, thalamus and hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions. Western blots and immunodetection of recombinant epitope-tagged receptors as well as [125I]CGP71872 photoaffinity labelling of cell membranes demonstrate that R1c is correctly expressed, although at a lower level than the previously identified isoforms. When coexpressed with the newly characterized GABA(B)R2, R1c functionally couples to G-protein-activated Kir3.1/3.2 channels in Xenopus oocytes and to PLC-activating chimeric G(alpha)qo subunits in HEK-293 cells with a similar EC50 for agonists. These data suggest that the R1c isoform represents a functional GABA(B)R in the rat brain.

Abstract
Pharmacological studies in humans and animals suggest the existence of vascular endothelial vasopressin (AVP)/oxytocin (OT) receptors that mediate a vasodilatory effect. However, the nature of the receptor subtype(s) involved in this vasodilatory response remains controversial, and its coupled intracellular pathways are unknown. Thus, we set out to determine the type and signaling pathways of the AVP/OT receptor(s) expressed in human vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Saturation binding experiments with purified membranes of primary cultures of ECs from human umbilical vein (HUVEC), aorta (HAEC), and pulmonary artery (HPAEC) and [3H]AVP or [3H]OT revealed the existence of specific binding sites with a greater affinity for OT than AVP (Kd = 1.75 vs. 16.58 nM). Competition binding experiments in intact HUVECs (ECV304 cell line) with the AVP antagonist [125I]4-hydroxyphenacetyl-D-Tyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Arg-NH2 or the OT antagonist [125I]D(CH2)5[O-Me-Tyr-Thr-Orn-Tyr-NH2]vasotocin, and various AVP/OT analogs confirmed the existence of a single class of surface receptors of the classical OT subtype. RT-PCR experiments with total RNA extracted from HUVEC, HAEC, and HPAEC and specific primers for the human V1 vascular, V2 renal, V3 pituitary, and OT receptors amplified the OT receptor sequence only. No new receptor subtype could be amplified when using degenerate primers. DNA sequencing of the coding region of the human EC OT receptor revealed a nucleotide sequence 100% homologous to that of the uterine OT receptor reported previously. Stimulation of ECs by OT produced mobilization of intracellular calcium and the release of nitric oxide that was prevented by chelation of extra- and intracellular calcium. No stimulation of cAMP or PG production was noted. Finally, OT stimulation of ECs led to a calcium- and protein kinase C-dependent cellular proliferation response. Thus, human vascular ECs express OT receptors that are structurally identical to the uterine and mammary OT receptors. These endothelial OT receptors produce a calcium-dependent vasodilatory response via stimulation of the nitric oxide pathway and have a trophic action.

Abstract
The synaptotagmins are a family of integral membrane proteins proposed to function as regulators of both exocytosis and endocytosis. Here, we have used immunochemical techniques and RT-PCR to assess sites of renal expression of synaptotagmin VIII. A polyclonal antibody was raised to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy-terminal 21 amino acids of mouse synaptotagmin VIII. On immunoblots of membrane fractions from renal cortex and medulla (and in several other tissues), the antibody labeled a 52-kDa band (absent with preimmune IgG). Immunofluorescence localization was carried out in tissue sections from rat kidney. The synaptotagmin VIII antibody labeled early proximal tubules, thin ascending limbs, thick ascending limbs, connecting tubules, and collecting ducts. In collecting ducts, both type A and B intercalated cells exhibited basolateral labeling, whereas principal cells were labeled chiefly in the apical and subapical portion of the cells. Thick ascending limbs were labeled in both the basolateral and apical regions. RT-PCR experiments using total RNA extracted from cortex and medulla or microdissected inner medullary collecting ducts gave a single band of appropriate size. Sequencing of the PCR product confirmed that the amplified target is synaptotagmin VIII. We conclude that synaptotagmin VIII is broadly expressed among renal tubule epithelia, raising the possibility that it is involved in regulation of transport and/or cell remodeling at several sites in the nephron and collecting duct.

Abstract
The Ca2+-sensing receptor protein and the Ca2+-inhibitable type 6 adenylyl cyclase mRNA are present in a defined segment of the rat renal tubule leading to the hypothesis of their possible functional co-expression in a same cell and thus to a possible inhibition of cAMP content by extracellular Ca2+. By using microdissected segments, we compared the properties of regulation of extracellular Ca2+-mediated activation of Ca2+ receptor to those elicited by prostaglandin E2 and angiotensin II. The three agents inhibited a common pool of hormone-stimulated cAMP content by different mechanisms as follows. (i) Extracellular Ca2+, coupled to phospholipase C activation via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein, induced a dose-dependent inhibition of cAMP content (1.25 mM Ca2+ eliciting 50% inhibition) resulting from both stimulation of cAMP hydrolysis and inhibition of cAMP synthesis; this latter effect was mediated by capacitive Ca2+ influx as well as release of intracellular Ca2+. (ii) Angiotensin II, coupled to the same transduction pathway, also decreased cAMP content; however, its inhibitory effect on cAMP was mainly accounted for by an increase of cAMP hydrolysis, although angiotensin II and extracellular Ca2+ can induce comparable release of intracellular Ca2+. (iii) Prostaglandin E2, coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein, inhibited the same pool of adenylyl cyclase units as extracellular Ca2+ but by a different mechanism. The functional properties of the adenylyl cyclase were similar to those described for type 6. The results establish that the co-expression of a Ca2+-inhibitable adenylyl cyclase and of a Ca2+-sensing receptor in a same cell allows an inhibition of cAMP accumulation by physiological concentrations of extracellular Ca2+.

Abstract
Elevations of arginine vasopressin (AVP) binding to renal vasopressin V2 receptors (V2R) enhance water and urea reabsorption in the collecting duct epithelium. This study was designed to quantify the levels of V2R mRNA and protein within the distinct regions of the Sprague-Dawley rat kidney (i.e., the cortex and outer and inner medulla) during 24 and 48 h of water restriction. A competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was developed to quantify changes in the V2R mRNA, in which a deletion mutant RNA transcript was used to control for the efficiency of RT-PCR. Western blot analysis was utilized for the quantification of the V2R protein. The results showed that the steady-state levels of the V2R mRNA decreased in a time-dependent manner in the cortex and outer and inner medulla throughout 48 h of water restriction. Western blot analysis revealed that the V2R protein in the renal cortex decreased after the initial 24 h of water restriction and remained decreased at 48 h. In contrast, outer medullary V2R protein decreased significantly only after 48 h of water restriction, whereas no significant change in the inner medullary V2R protein was observed throughout the 48 h of water restriction. These results suggest that water restriction leads to a regional time-dependent downregulation of the V2R mRNA and protein within the rat kidney. The stability of the plasma membrane V2R protein within the inner medulla may allow for the optimization of urine concentration and minimize water loss during periods of water restriction.

Abstract
The expression of mRNAs encoding vasopressin V1a, V2, and ANP-B receptors in the rat cochlea was examined by PCR and in situ hybridization. After reverse-transcription of rat cochlear RNA, cDNA was amplified by PCR using pairs of primers specific to these receptors. After subcloning of the PCR products, clones with sequences identical to those cloned previously from the rat liver (V1a receptor), kidney (V2 receptor) and brain (ANP-B receptor) were obtained. The localization of expression of those receptors in the developing and adult rat cochlea was examined by in situ hybridization using 35S-labeled cRNA probes. The V1a and V2 receptors were expressed throughout the whole of the neonatal rat cochlea, while no expression was detected in the adult cochlea. The ANP-B receptor was expressed throughout the whole of the neonatal cochlea. In the adult cochlea, expression was observed in the spiral ganglion and the spiral ligament. These results suggest that vasopressin may play a role in the development of the cochlea, and that natriuretic peptide may play a role in the function of the spiral ganglion and the spiral ligament.

Abstract
Previous studies in microdissected rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) segments have demonstrated that carbachol, arginine vasopressin (AVP), and the V2 vasopressin receptor agonist 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) induce a similar increase in intracellular Ca2+. The present study tested whether these agents activate the phosphoinositide hydrolysis pathway. In intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) measurements, we found that IMCD suspensions incubated with AVP or DDAVP (10(-8) M) displayed no measurable increase in IP3, whereas IMCD suspensions incubated with the muscarinic cholinergic agent carbachol (100 microM) induced a significant increase in IP3 production. Similarly, carbachol, but not AVP or DDAVP, induced a significant increase in membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) enzyme activity. To test what specific PKC isoforms are activated by carbachol in IMCD, we first characterized the PKC isoforms in IMCD suspensions by immunoblotting using affinity-purified antibodies against different PKC isoforms. We identified one classic PKC isoform (alpha), three novel PKC isoforms (delta, epsilon, eta), and one atypical PKC isoform (zeta) in the IMCD. Carbachol induced a cytosol-to-membrane translocation of the PKC-eta isoform but did not alter the distribution of any other isoform. In contrast, AVP had no effect on the distribution of any PKC isoform tested. These data, taken together, demonstrate that carbachol is an activator of the phosphoinositide hydrolysis pathway in IMCD but do not demonstrate signaling via this pathway in response to AVP or DDAVP. These results suggest that the previously observed AVP-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization in IMCD may be due to a mechanism other than activation of the phosphoinositide hydrolysis pathway.

Abstract
Cross-talk between the phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase signalling pathways was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors. Cell lines expressing V1a, V2, or both V1a and V2 receptors, were established and characterized. Stimulation of V2 receptors by vasopressin induced a dose-dependent increase in cAMP accumulation, whereas stimulation of V1a receptor resulted in an increase in intracellular calcium without any change in basal cAMP. The simultaneous stimulation of V2 and V1a receptors by vasopressin elicited an intracellular cAMP accumulation which was twice that induced by stimulation of V2 receptor alone with deamino-[d-Arg8]vasopressin. This potentiation between V1a and V2 receptors was mimicked by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with PMA, and was suppressed when PKC activity was inhibited by bisindolylmaleimide. The potentiation was observed in the presence or absence of 1 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, implying that an alteration in cAMP hydrolysis was not involved. Vasopressin, as well as PMA, had no effect on the forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation, suggesting that PKC did not directly stimulate the cyclase activity. On the other hand, vasopressin, like PMA, potentiated the cAMP accumulation induced by cholera toxin, an activator of Galphas protein. These results suggest that, in CHO cells, vasopressin V1a receptor potentiates the cAMP accumulation induced by the V2 receptor through a PKC-dependent increase in the coupling between Gs protein and adenylyl cyclase.

Abstract
The V2 vasopressin and the AT1A angiotensin II receptors are respectively coupled to the adenylyl cyclase and the phosphoinositide pathways. The cross-talk between these two receptors and their transduction pathways were investigated in CHO cells transfected with cDNA of both AT1A and V2 receptors. In these cells, angiotensin II induced an increase in intracellular calcium, and vasopressin a rise in intracellular cAMP accumulation. The simultaneous addition of angiotensin II and vasopressin potentiated the production of cAMP by the V2 receptor. This potentiation was dose-dependent and, at a concentration of 10(-7) M angiotensin II, the accumulation of cAMP was 4-fold greater than that induced by 10(-7) M vasopressin alone. Such cross-talk occurred in the presence and absence of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitors, indicating that inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity was not the principal cause of potentiation. This was confirmed by the absence of calcium-inhibitable isoforms of phosphodiesterases in CHO cells. The addition of angiotensin II to forskolin, which stimulates the adenylyl cyclase, did not modify the production of cAMP. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), partially mimicked, and staurosporine, an inhibitor of PKC, partially inhibited the effect of angiotensin II on vasopressin. Chelation of intracellular calcium with BAPTA-AM markedly reduced the potentiation of V2 receptor by angiotensin II. However, increase in intracellular calcium with thapsigargin did not modify the cAMP accumulation induced by vasopressin. It was concluded that, in CHO cells, activation of the AT1A receptor by angiotensin II potentiates the V2 receptor through activation of protein kinase C in the presence of intracellular calcium at a step located between the receptor and the adenylyl cyclase.

Abstract
Oxytocin receptors (OT-R) are known to be involved in the course of labor since a massive increase in OT-binding sites is observed in the uterus just before parturition. Vasopressin (AVP)-binding sites have also been observed and have been shown to mediate uterotonic responses. To determine exactly which subtypes of OT/AVP receptors are expressed in the rat uterus near parturition, we carried out absolute quantitations of the neurohypophysial hormone receptor (OT-R and the vasopressin receptors V1a-R, V1b-R and V2-R) mRNAs with an assay based on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using in vitro transcribed mutated cRNAs as internal standards. The number of mRNA molecules/ng of total RNA was 35 +/- 6, 220 +/- 33 and 39 +/- 9 for OT-R (P < 0.01) and 16 +/- 1, 25 +/- 8 and 31 +/- 5 for V1a-R (P > 0.05) on day (D) 21, 22 and 23 of gestation (post-parturient), respectively. We did not detect V1b-R and V2-R mRNAs in the pregnant uterus. Therefore, the heterogeneity of OT and AVP receptors in the rat uterus can only be assigned to the presence of OT-R and V1a-R neurohypophysial hormone receptor subtypes, whereas V1b-R and V2-R can not be invoked. Only OT-R mRNA levels change in the uterus near parturition.

Abstract
By using immunocytochemical techniques we have been able to localize the V1 vasopressin receptor in the rat kidney. Immunoblotting using an antiserum raised against an affinity-purified vasopressin receptor showed a 55,000 daltons protein band that has a molecular mass similar to that of the liver V1 vasopressin receptor, as demonstrated by cross-linking studies. Immunoblotting of the antibody showed a band of 55,000 daltons in A-10 cells, which contains the V1 subtype, whereas it did not stain LLC-PK1 cells, which possess the V2 subtype, showing that the antibody recognizes the V1 vasopressin receptor. The immunostaining of kidney sections with this antiserum showed a strong reaction of the connecting tubules and cortical and medullary collecting ducts. The immunostaining pattern of connecting tubule and collecting duct cells was different, that is, the former showed a staining of both the apical and basal plasma membrane but also in the cytoplasm, whereas the latter showed a strong reaction mainly in the basolateral membrane. Immunostaining of consecutive serial sections with an antiserum raised against tissue kallikrein, an enzyme present exclusively in connecting tubules, and with the anti-receptor serum allowed us to show, for the first time, the presence of the vasopressin receptor in the connecting tubule cells and their absence in intercalated cells, the other cell type present in connecting tubules. These findings support experiments carried in the eighties on the release of renal tissue kallikrein by AVP.

Abstract
The activity and expression of adenylyl cyclases (AC) were examined in the adult rat renal cortex and medulla. Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization demonstrated that AC-6 was the predominant isoform in the adult rat kidney, whereas AC-4, -5, and -9 had a lower expression. AC-4 expression was higher in the cortex, and AC-5 and AC-6 were higher in the medulla. AC-9 expression was at the same level in both regions. AC activity was high in the fetus and declined in the adult. At all stages, AC activity was sensitive to parathyroid hormone, whereas no stimulation by vasopressin and isoproterenol was found in the fetus and the neonate. AC-5 and AC-6 mRNAs increased at day 1 and then markedly decreased, paralleling the decline in AC activity. The mRNA of AC-4 did not change and that of AC-9 increased markedly until adult. In the homozygous Brattleboro rat kidney, the expression of all these isoforms was decreased.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine whether vasopressin affects NaCl reabsorption in the medullary thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle when administered selectively to the luminal membrane. At 5 x 10(-6) M and 10(-8) M, luminal [Arg8]vasopressin significantly inhibited Cl- transport in the in vitro microperfused rat medullary thick ascending limb by 46.4 +/- 5.9% (P < 0.01) and 32.4 +/- 2.0% (P < 0.05) respectively. The response to 10(-8) M luminal [Arg8]vasopressin was completely blocked by the vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist [beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopenta-methylenepropionyl1, O-Me-Tyr2,Arg8]vasopressin (10(-6) M), and was mimicked by the vasopressin V1 receptor agonist [Phe1, Ile5, Orn8]vasopressin (10(-8) M; delta -35.0 +/- 4.5%; P < 0.05). Luminal administration of the vasopressin V2 receptor agonist [deamino-Cys1, D-Arg8]vasopressin (5 x 10(-6) M) had no effect on transport. These data suggest that luminal vasopressin can inhibit NaCl transport in the medullary thick ascending limb of the rat via vasopressin V1 receptors.
