Abstract
Disproportionate activation of pattern recognition receptors plays a role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathophysiology. Diarrhea is a hallmark symptom of IBD, resulting at least in part from an electrolyte imbalance that may be caused by changes in potassium channel activity. We evaluated the impact of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) stimulation on potassium conductance of the basolateral membrane in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and the role of potassium channels through electrophysiological assays under short-circuit current in Ussing chambers. TLRs and NOD2 were stimulated using specific agonists, and potassium channels were selectively blocked using triarylmethane-34 (TRAM-34), adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), and BaCl2. Potassium conductance of the basolateral membrane decreased upon activation of TLR2, TLR4, and TLR7 in T84 cells (means ± SE, -11.2 ± 4.5, -40.4 ± 7.2, and -19.4 ± 5.9, respectively) and in Caco-2 cells (-13.1 ± 5.7, -55.7 ± 7.4, and -29.1 ± 7.2, respectively). In contrast, activation of TLR5 and NOD2 increased basolateral potassium conductance, both in T84 cells (18.0 ± 4.1 and 18.4 ± 2.8, respectively) and in Caco-2 cells (21.2 ± 8.4 and 16.0 ± 3.6, respectively). TRAM-34 and AMP-PNP induced a decrease in basolateral potassium conductance upon TLR4 stimulation in both cell lines. Both KCa3.1- and Kir6-channels appear to be important mediators of this effect in IECs and could be potential targets for therapeutic agent development.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study highlights that PRRs stimulation directly influences K+-channel conductance in IECs. TLR-2, -4, -7 stimulation decreased K+ conductance, whereas TLR5 and NOD2 stimulation had the opposite effect, leading to an increase of it instead. This study reports for the first time that KCa3.1- and Kir6-channels play a role in K+ transport pathways triggered by TLR4 stimulation. These findings suggest that KCa3.1- and Kir6-channels modulation may be a potential target for new therapeutic agents in IBD.

Abstract
Senescence is a leading cause of age-related cataract (ARC). The current study indicated that the senescence-associated protein, p53, total laminin (LM), LMα4, and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) in the cataractous anterior lens capsules (ALCs) increase with the grades of ARC. In cataractous ALCs, patient age, total LM, LMα4, TGF-β1, were all positively correlated with p53. In lens epithelial cell (HLE B-3) senescence models, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) alleviated senescence by decreasing the expression of total LM and LMα4; TGF-β1 induced senescence by increasing the expression of total LM and LMα4. Furthermore, MMP-9 silencing increased p-p38 and LMα4 expression; anti-LMα4 globular domain antibody alleviated senescence by decreasing the expression of p-p38 and LMα4; pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling alleviated senescence by decreasing the expression of LMα4. Finally, in cataractous ALCs, positive correlations were found between LMα4 and total LM, as well as between LMα4 and TGF-β1. Taken together, our results implied that the elevated LMα4, which was possibly caused by the decreased MMP-9, increased TGF-β1 and activated p38 MAPK signaling during senescence, leading to the development of ARC. LMα4 and its regulatory factors show potential as targets for drug development for prevention and treatment of ARC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ion transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT), which is increased in essential hypertension, is regulated by numerous hormones and humoral factors, including insulin and dopamine. Activation of dopamine receptor inhibits sodium reabsorption, whereas activation of insulin receptor increases sodium reabsorption in RPTs, and hyperinsulinemic animals and patients have defective renal dopaminergic system. We presume that there is an inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect, and the regulation is lost in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). METHODS AND RESULTS Insulin receptor expression was determined by immunoblotting, and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was detected in both Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and SHR RPT cells. Stimulation of D4 receptor with PD168077 decreased expression of insulin receptors, which was blocked in the presence of the calcium-channel blocker, nicardipine (10(-6) mol/L per 24 hours), in cell culture medium without calcium or in the presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker (2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate [2-ADB]; 10(-6) mol/L per 24 hours), indicating that extracellular calcium entry and calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum were involved in the signal pathway. Stimulation of the insulin receptor stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, whereas pretreatment with PD168077 for 24 hours decreased the inhibitory effects of insulin receptor on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in WKY cells. However, in SHR cells, inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect were lost. CONCLUSIONS Activation of D4 receptor inhibits insulin receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats. The aberrant inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect might be involved in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.

Genetic reduction of the α1 subunit of Na/K-ATPase corrects multiple hippocampal phenotypes in Angelman syndrome. Cell Rep 2013; 4:405-12.

Abstract
Angelman syndrome (AS) is associated with symptoms that include autism, intellectual disability, motor abnormalities, and epilepsy. We recently showed that AS model mice have increased expression of the alpha1 subunit of Na/K-ATPase (α1-NaKA) in the hippocampus, which was correlated with increased expression of axon initial segment (AIS) proteins. Our developmental analysis revealed that the increase in α1-NaKA expression preceded that of the AIS proteins. Therefore, we hypothesized that α1-NaKA overexpression drives AIS abnormalities and that by reducing its expression these and other phenotypes could be corrected in AS model mice. Herein, we report that the genetic normalization of α1-NaKA levels in AS model mice corrects multiple hippocampal phenotypes, including alterations in the AIS, aberrant intrinsic membrane properties, impaired synaptic plasticity, and memory deficits. These findings strongly suggest that increased expression of α1-NaKA plays an important role in a broad range of abnormalities in the hippocampus of AS model mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a rare renal disorder featuring proximal tubule dysfunction that may occur following tubular reabsorption of a monoclonal light chain (LC), in patients with multiple myeloma. FS may precede the recognition of multiple myeloma by several years. In most cases, crystalline inclusions of monoclonal κ LCs are observed within the lysosomes of proximal tubular cells (PTCs) and probably participate in their functional alteration. METHODS To investigate the mechanism implicated in proximal tubule dysfunction, we compared the effects of κ LC-CHEB obtained from a patient with myeloma-associated FS to those of control κ LC-BON obtained from a patient without evidence of FS, on the viability and proliferation of two different PTC lines. RESULTS Our data suggest that the tubular atrophy in myeloma-associated FS does not result from increased apoptosis of PTCs, but from their impaired capacity to proliferate and renew. Indeed, in vitro incubation of cultured PTCs with physiological amounts of the nephrotoxic κ LC-CHEB was sufficient to cause a depression in DNA synthesis and in cell proliferation. This effect was observed neither with control κ LC-BON nor in the absence of κ LC. CONCLUSIONS The reduced turnover of PTCs may affect tubular repair and regeneration. In addition, the reduced proliferation of myeloma cells producing the same monoclonal κ LC might explain the frequent association of FS with smoldering multiple myeloma.

Angiotensin II AT(2) receptor decreases AT(1) receptor expression and function via nitric oxide/cGMP/Sp1 in renal proximal tubule cells from Wistar-Kyoto rats. J Hypertens 2012; 30:1176-84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system controls blood pressure, in part, by regulating renal tubular sodium transport. In the kidney, activation of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor increases renal sodium reabsorption, whereas the angiotensin II type 2 (AT(2)) receptor produces the opposite effect. We hypothesized that the AT(2) receptor regulates AT(1) receptor expression and function in the kidney. METHODS AND RESULTS In immortalized renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells from Wistar-Kyoto rats, CGP42112, an AT(2) receptor agonist, decreased AT(1) receptor mRNA and protein expression (P < 0.05), as assessed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting. The inhibitory effect of the AT(2) receptor on AT(1) receptor expression was blocked by the AT(2) receptor antagonist, PD123319 (10 (-6)mol/l), the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(w)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (10(-4) mol/l), or the nitric oxide-dependent soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo-[4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one (10(-5) mol/l), indicating that both nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) were involved in the signaling pathway. Furthermore, CGP42112 decreased Sp1 serine phosphorylation and reduced the binding of Sp1 to AT(1) receptor DNA. Stimulation with Ang II (10(-11) mol/l per 30 min) enhanced Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in RPT cells, which was prevented by pretreatment with CGP42112 (10(-7) mol/l per 24 h) (P < 0.05). The above-mentioned results were confirmed in RPT cells from AT(2) receptor knockout mice; AT(1) receptor expression and Ang II-stimulated Na-K-ATPase activity were greater in these cells than in RPT cells from wild-type mice (P < 0.05). AT(1)/AT(2) receptors co-localized and co-immunoprecipitated in RPT cells; short-term CGP42112 (10 mol/l per 30 min) treatment increased AT(1)/AT(2) receptor co-immunoprecipitation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the renal AT(2) receptor, via nitric oxide/cGMP/Sp1 pathway, regulates AT(1 )receptor expression and function, which may be important in the regulation of sodium excretion and blood pressure.

Abstract
An isogenic pair of cisplatin-susceptible (NTUB1) and -resistant (NTUB1/P) human urothelial carcinoma cell lines was used to elucidate the mechanism of cisplatin resistance. The significantly lower intracellular platinum (IP) concentration, which resulted from the decreased cisplatin uptake, was found in NTUB1/P cells. The enhancement of IP concentration did not increase the susceptibility of NTUB1/P cells to cisplatin treatment. The reduction of IP concentration as well was unable to enhance the cisplatin-resistance in susceptible NTUB1 cells. This indicated that reduction of IP concentration was not the account for the development of cisplatin resistance here. Instead, the over expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, anti-oxidative heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and cell cycle regulator p16INK4 seemed to be more important for the gaining of cisplatin in these human urothelial carcinoma cell.

Abstract
Dopamine receptor, via D(1)-like and D(2)-like receptors, increases sodium excretion in kidney. We have reported positive interactions between D(3) and D(1) receptors in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. These reports, however do not preclude that there may be also interaction between D(3) and D(5) receptors, because of the lack of selective D(1) and D(5) receptor agonists or antagonists. We hypothesize that D(3) receptors can regulate D(5) receptors, and that D(3) receptor regulation of D(5) receptors in RPTs is impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). It showed that a D(3) receptor agonist, PD128907, by the activation of protein kinase C activity, increased the expression of D(5) receptors in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in RPT cells from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The stimulatory effect of the D(3) receptor on D(5) receptor expression was impaired in RPT cells from SHRs. The effect of D(3) receptor on D(5) receptor is functionally relevant; stimulation of D(5) receptor decreases Na(+)-K(+) adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in WKY cells. Pretreatment with D(3) receptor agonist for 24 h enhances the D(5) receptor expression and D(5) receptor-mediated inhibitory effect on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in WKY cells, but decreases them in SHR cells. The effect of D(3) receptor on D(5) receptor expression and function was also confirmed in the D(5) receptor-transfected HEK293 cells. It indicates that activation of D(3) receptor increases D(5) receptor expression and function. Altered regulation of D(3) receptor on D(5) receptors may have a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Abstract
Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, a basolateral transporter responsible for tubular reabsorption of Na(+) and for providing the driving force for vectorial transport of various solutes and ions, can also act as a signal transducer in response to the interaction with steroid hormones. At nanomolar concentrations ouabain binding to Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activates a signaling cascade that ultimately regulates several membrane transporters including Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. The present study evaluated the long-term effect of ouabain on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity (Na(+) transepithelial flux) and expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells with low (40) and high (80) number of passages in culture, which are known to overexpress Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (Silva et al., 2006, J Membr Biol 212, 163-175). Activation of a signal cascade was evaluated by quantification of ERK1/2 phosphorylation by Western blot. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was determined by electrophysiological techniques and expression by Western blot. Incubation of cells with ouabain induced activation of ERK1/2. Long-term incubation with ouabain induced an increase in Na(+) transepithelial flux and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase expression only in OK cells with 80 passages in culture. This increase was prevented by incubation with inhibitors of MEK1/2 and PI-3K. In conclusion, ouabain-activated signaling cascade mediated by both MEK1/2 and PI-3K is responsible for long-term regulation of Na(+) transepithelial flux in epithelial renal cells. OK cell line with high number of passages is suggested to constitute a particular useful model for the understanding of ouabain-mediated regulation of Na(+) transport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of renal D₃ receptor induces natriuresis and diuresis in Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats; in the presence of ETB receptor antagonist, the natriuretic effect of D₃ receptor in WKY rats is reduced. We hypothesize that ETB receptor activation may regulate D₃ receptor expression in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells from WKY rats, which is impaired in RPT cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). METHODS D₃ receptor expression was determined by immunoblotting; the D₃/ETB receptor linkage was checked by coimmunoprecipitation; Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was determined as the rate of inorganic phosphate released in the presence or absence of ouabain. RESULTS In RPT cells from WKY rats, the ETB receptor agonist BQ3020 increased D₃ receptor protein. In contrast, in RPT cells from SHRs, BQ3020 did not increase D₃ receptor. There was coimmunoprecipitation between D₃ and ETB receptors in RPT cells from WKY and SHRs. Activation of ETB receptor increased D₃/ETB coimmunoprecipitation in RPT cells from WKY rats, but not from SHRs. The basal levels of D₃/ETB receptor coimmunoprecipitation were greater in RPT cells from WKY rats than in those from SHRs. Stimulation of D₃ receptor inhibited Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, which was augmented by the pretreatment with the ETB receptor agonist BQ3020 in WKY RPT cells, but not in SHR RPT cells. CONCLUSION ETB receptors regulate and physically interact with D₃ receptors differently in WKY rats and SHRs. The impaired natriuretic effect in SHRs may be, in part, related to impaired ETB and D₃ receptor interactions.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that over time in culture opossum kidney (OK) cells are endowed with increased Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and expression (Silva et al., 2006, J Membr Biol 212:163-175; Silva and Soares-da-Silva, 2007, Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 293:R1764-R1770). The present work evaluated the cytoskeleton reorganization in OK cells at passages 40 and 80 in culture and its possible relationship with membrane transport proteins and cell morphology. It is shown that OK cells with 80 passages in culture have increased size, internal complexity, and total protein expression. In OK cells with 80 passages in culture the use of in-cell western showed that ezrin/radixin/moesin complex was increased by 20%. The most abundant ankyrin-G isoform in OK cells with 40 passages was the approximately 200/220 kDa isoform, whereas in OK cells with 80 passages the most abundant isoform was the approximately 170 kDa isoform. The spectrin-betaII approximately 240 kDa isoform, the predominant isoform in OK cells with 40 passages, was marginally detected in OK cells with 80 passages. Besides Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, GLUT2, and NHE3 expression was also significantly increased in OK cells with 80 passages. It is concluded that the prolonged cell passaging of OK cells results in an interesting and valuable experimental model to analyze the reorganization of the renal cell cytoskeleton proteins and its relationship with transporter and signaling membrane proteins.

Abstract
The kidney is important in the long-term regulation of blood pressure and sodium homeostasis. Stimulation of ETB receptors in the kidney increases sodium excretion, in part, by decreasing sodium transport in the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle and in collecting duct. However, the role of ETB receptor on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells is not well defined. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that ETB receptor inhibits Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in rat RPT cells, and investigate the mechanism(s) by which such an action is produced. In RPT cells from Wistar-Kyoto rats, stimulation of ETB receptors by the ETB receptor agonist, BQ3020, decreased Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity, determined by ATP hydrolysis (control=0.38+/-0.02, BQ3020=0.26+/-0.03, BQ788=0.40+/-0.06, BQ3020+BQ788=0.37+/-0.04, n=5, P<0.01). The ETB receptor-mediated inhibition of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity was dependent on an increase in intracellular calcium, because this effect was abrogated by a chelator of intracellular-free calcium (BAPTA-AM; 5 x 10(-3) M 15 min(-1)), Ca(2+) channel blocker (10(-6) M 15 min(-1) nicardipine) and PI3 kinase inhibitor (10(-7) M per wortmannin). An inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker (2-aminoethyl diphenyl borate; 10(-4) M 15 min(-1)) also blocked the inhibitory effect of the ETB receptor on Na(+)-K(+)ATPase activity (control=0.39+/-0.06, BQ3020=0.25+/-0.01, 2-APB=0.35+/-0.05, BQ3020+ 2-APB=0.35+/-0.06, n=4, P<0.01). The calcium channel agonist (BAY-K8644; 10(-6) M 15 min(-1)) inhibited Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity, an effect that was blocked by a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor (10(-7) M 15 min(-1) wortmannin). In rat RPT cells, activation of the ETB receptor inhibits Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity by facilitating extracellular Ca(2+) entry and Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dopaminergic and endothelin systems, by regulating sodium transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT), participate in the control of blood pressure. The D(3) and ETB receptors are expressed in RPTs, and D(3) receptor function in RPTs is impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that D(3) receptors can regulate ETB receptors, and that D(3) receptor regulation of ETB receptors in RPTs is impaired in SHRs. METHODS ETB receptor expression in RPT cells was measured by immunoblotting and reverse transcriptase-PCR and ETB receptor function by measuring Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity. D(3)/ETB receptor interaction was studied by co-immunoprecipitation. RESULTS In Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) RPT cells, the D(3) receptor agonist, PD128907, increased ETB receptor protein expression, effects that were blocked by removal of calcium in the culture medium. The stimulatory effect of D(3) on ETB receptor mRNA and protein expression was also blocked by nicardipine. In contrast, in SHR RPT cells, PD128907 decreased ETB receptor expression. Basal D(3)/ETB receptor co-immunoprecipitation was three times greater in WKY than in SHRs. The absolute amount of D(3)/ETB receptor co-immunoprecipitation induced by a D(3) receptor agonist was also greater in WKY than in SHRs. Stimulation of ETB receptors decreased Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in WKY but not in SHR cells. Pretreatment with PD128907 augmented the inhibitory effect of BQ3020 on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in WKY but not in SHR cells. CONCLUSIONS D(3) receptors regulate ETB receptors by physical receptor interaction and govern receptor expression and function. D(3) receptor regulation of ETB receptors is aberrant in RPT cells from SHRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ion transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT) is regulated by numerous hormones and humoral factors, including insulin and dopamine. Previous studies show an interaction between insulin and the D(1) receptor. Because both D(1) and D(5) receptors belong to the D(1)-like receptor subfamily, it is possible that an interaction between insulin and the D(5) dopamine receptor exists in RPT cells from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). METHODS D(5) receptor expression in immortalized RPT cells from WKY and SHRs was quantified by immunoblotting and D(5) receptor function by measuring Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity. RESULTS Insulin increased the expression of the D(5) receptor. Stimulation with insulin (10(-7) mol/l) for 24 h increased D(5) receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats. This effect of insulin on D(5) receptor expression was aberrant in RPT cells from SHRs. The stimulatory effect of insulin on D(5) receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats was inhibited by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (PKC inhibitor peptide 19-31, 10(-6) mol/l) or a phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase inhibitor (wortmannin, 10(-6) mol/l), indicating that both PKC and PI3 kinase were involved in the signaling pathway. Stimulation of the D(5) receptor heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells with fenoldopam (10(-7) mol/l/15 min) inhibited Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity, whereas pretreatment with insulin (10(-7) mol/l/24 h) increased the D(5) receptor-mediated inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Insulin and D(5) receptors interact to regulate renal sodium transport; an aberrant interaction between insulin and D(5) receptor may participate in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Abstract
Culture of opossum kidney (OK) cells over 40 passages resulted in marked overexpression of α1-subunit and β1-subunit Na+-K+-ATPase, which paralleled with increases in Na+-K+-ATPase activity, and enhanced availability in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ( J Membr Biol 212: 163–175, 2006). The present study evaluated the mechanisms involved in increased H2O2 production in OK cells cultured over 40 passages (up to passage 80) and whether H2O2 plays a role in the regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase expression and activity. The accumulation of H2O2 in the extracellular medium over 24 h (236.5 ± 2.7 vs. 319.3 ± 2.9 nM) and the rate of H2O2 production (5.21 ± 0.02 vs. 7.37 ± 0.02 nM/min) in cells with 40 passages was lower ( P < 0.05) than in cells with 80 passages. The increase in H2O2 production in cells with 80 passages was accompanied by overexpression of NOX1, but not of NOX2, and overexpression of SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3. Apocynin, a NADPH inhibitor, markedly attenuated the increase in H2O2 production in cells with 80 passages and significantly decreased Na+-K+-ATPase activity (26% reduction) and α1-subunit Na+-K+-ATPase overexpression. Increases in Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit mRNA abundance were also observed in OK cells with increased number of cell passages, but apocynin did not affect transcript abundance. In conclusion, the increased availability of H2O2 in the intracellular milieu plays an important role in the long-term regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase expression and activity. These cells may constitute an interesting model to study events related to oxidative stress, in which adaptation to increases in H2O2 had progressively adapted in a more natural manner.
