Abstract
Apelin and arginine-vasopressin (AVP) are conversely regulated by osmotic stimuli. We therefore hypothesized that activating the apelin receptor (apelin-R) with LIT01-196, a metabolically stable apelin-17 analog, may be beneficial for treating the Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis, in which AVP hypersecretion leads to hyponatremia. We show that LIT01-196, which behaves as a potent full agonist for the apelin-R, has an in vivo half-life of 156 minutes in the bloodstream after subcutaneous administration in control rats. In collecting ducts, LIT01-196 decreases dDAVP-induced cAMP production and apical cell surface expression of phosphorylated aquaporin 2 via AVP type 2 receptors, leading to an increase in aqueous diuresis. In a rat experimental model of AVP-induced hyponatremia, LIT01-196 subcutaneously administered blocks the antidiuretic effect of AVP and the AVP-induced increase in urinary osmolality and induces a progressive improvement of hyponatremia. Our data suggest that apelin-R activation constitutes an original approach for hyponatremia treatment.

Abstract
Renal sodium reabsorption depends on the activity of the Na+,K+-ATPase α/β heterodimer. Four α (α1-4) and 3 β (β1-3) subunit isoforms have been described. It is accepted that renal tubule cells express α1/β1 dimers. Aldosterone stimulates Na+,K+-ATPase activity and may modulate α1/β1 expression. However, some studies suggest the presence of β3 in the kidney. We hypothesized that the β3 isoform of the Na+,K+-ATPase is expressed in tubular cells of the distal nephron, and modulated by mineralocorticoids. We found that β3 is highly expressed in collecting duct of rodents, and that mineralocorticoids decreased the expression of β3. Thus, we describe a novel molecular mechanism of sodium pump modulation that may contribute to the effects of mineralocorticoids on sodium reabsorption.

Abstract
In relation to dietary Na(+) intake and aldosterone levels, collecting duct principal cells are exposed to large variations in Na(+) transport. In these cells, Na(+) crosses the apical membrane via epithelial Na(+) channels (ENaC) and is extruded into the interstitium by Na,K-ATPase. The activity of ENaC and Na,K-ATPase must be highly coordinated to accommodate variations in Na(+) transport and minimize fluctuations in intracellular Na(+) concentration. We hypothesized that, independent of hormonal stimulus, cross-talk between ENaC and Na,K-ATPase coordinates Na(+) transport across apical and basolateral membranes. By varying Na(+) intake in aldosterone-clamped rats and overexpressing γ-ENaC or modulating apical Na(+) availability in cultured mouse collecting duct cells, enhanced apical Na(+) entry invariably led to increased basolateral Na,K-ATPase expression and activity. In cultured collecting duct cells, enhanced apical Na(+) entry increased the basolateral cell surface expression of Na,K-ATPase by inhibiting p38 kinase-mediated endocytosis of Na,K-ATPase. Our results reveal a new role for p38 kinase in mediating cross-talk between apical Na(+) entry via ENaC and its basolateral exit via Na,K-ATPase, which may allow principal cells to maintain intracellular Na(+) concentrations within narrow limits.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was an investigation of mechanisms mediating selective effect of vasotocin analogues on water, sodium, and potassium excretion. We tested vasotocin analogues: Mpa(1)-vasotocin (dAVT), Mpa(1)-Arg(4)-vasotocin (dAAVT) and Mpa(1)-DArg(8)-vasotocin (dDAVT). The effects on water, sodium, and potassium transport were evaluated in experiments using normal and water-loaded Wistar rats. It was shown that all tested peptides exerted antidiuretic activity. Vasotocin and dAVT induced natriuresis and kaliuresis in rats. V1a agonist (Phe(2)-Ile(3)-Orn(8)-vasopressin) reproduced the renal effects of dAVT on sodium and potassium excretion but not on water reabsorption. dAAVT, dDAVT and V2 agonist (desmopressin) induced kaliuresis without any effect on sodium excretion. Natriuresis was associated with increase in cGMP excretion, whereas kaliuresis was correlated with rise of cAMP excretion. V1a antagonist (Pmp(1)-Tyr(Me)(2)-vasopressin) significantly reduced the dAVT-stimulated natriuresis and did not influence on urinary potassium excretion. V2 antagonist (Pmp(1)-DIle(2)-Ile(4)-vasopressin) significantly reduced the dAVT- and dAAVT-induced kaliuresis. It is assumed that effects of the nonapeptides on sodium and potassium transport are independent of their antidiuretic activity and mediated by different subtypes of V receptors (the V1a or V1a-like receptor for natriuretic effect and V2 or V2-like one for kaliuretic). In accordance to the data obtained, there is a possibility of selective regulation of renal water reabsorption and urinary sodium and potassium excretion with involvement of neurohypophysial hormones.

Abstract
Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that regulate cholesterol, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism in various tissues. However, the renal action of LXRs is not well understood. Here we investigated the effects of LXR-activating ligands on modulation of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-mediated sodium transport in collecting duct cells. Exposure of the M1 cells to the synthetic LXR agonists T0901317 and GW3965 or the natural ligand 22R-hydroxycholesterol for 24 h decreased amiloride-sensitive sodium transport, corresponding with an increase of transepithelial resistance. The inhibition of amiloride-sensitive sodium transport after incubation with T0901317 or GW3965 was not mediated by a reduction of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase-mediated basolateral sodium transport. On the other hand, T0901317 and GW3965 decreased mRNA abundance and membrane expression of ENaC. Preincubation the monolayer with GW3965 attenuated aldosterone-induced stimulation sodium transport. In primary cultures of collecting duct cells, T0901317 and GW3965 similarly inhibited ENaC transport function as in M1 cells. This is the first evidence showing LXR-activating ligands modulate ENaC-mediated sodium transport in collecting duct cells. These results suggest that LXRs may represent a novel therapeutic target for treatment of conditions with dysregulation of ENaC such as hypertension.

Abstract
Proteases perform a diverse array of biological functions. From simple peptide digestion for nutrient absorption to complex signaling cascades, proteases are found in organisms from prokaryotes to humans. In the human airway, proteases are associated with the regulation of the airway surface liquid layer, tissue remodeling, host defense and pathogenic infection and inflammation. A number of proteases are released in the airways under both physiological and pathophysiological states by both the host and invading pathogens. In airway diseases such as cystic fibrosis, proteases have been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and airway disease progression. In this review, we focus on the regulation of proteases and discuss specifically those proteases found in human airways. Attention then shifts to the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which is regulated by proteolytic cleavage and that is considered to be an important component of cystic fibrosis disease. Finally, we discuss bacterial proteases, in particular, those of the most prevalent bacterial pathogen found in cystic fibrosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
Sodium reabsorption via the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron plays a central role in the regulation of body fluid volume. Previous studies have indicated that arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolite 11,12-EET but not other regioisomers of EETs inhibit ENaC activity in the collecting duct. The goal of this study was to investigate the endogenous metabolism of AA in cultured mpkCCD(c14) principal cells and the effects of these metabolites on ENaC activity. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the mpkCCD(c14) cells indicated that these cells produce prostaglandins, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, 14,15-EET, 5-HETE, 12/8-HETE, and 15-HETE, but not 20-HETE. Single-channel patch-clamp experiments revealed that 8,9-EET, 14,15-EET, and 11,12-EET all decrease ENaC activity. Neither 5-, 12-, nor 15-HETE had any effect on ENaC activity. Diclofenac and ibuprofen, inhibitors of cyclooxygenase, decreased transepithelial Na(+) transport in the mpkCCD(c14) cells. Inhibition of cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) with MS-PPOH activated ENaC-mediated sodium transport when cells were pretreated with AA and diclofenac. Coexpression of CYP2C8, but not CYP4A10, with ENaC in Chinese hamster ovary cells significantly decreased ENaC activity in whole-cell experiments, whereas 11,12-EET mimicked this effect. Thus both endogenously formed EETs and their exogenous application decrease ENaC activity. Downregulation of ENaC activity by overexpression of CYP2C8 was PKA dependent and was prevented by myristoylated PKI treatment. Biotinylation experiments and single-channel analysis revealed that long-term treatment with 11,12-EET and overexpression of CYP2C8 decreased the number of channels in the membrane. In contrast, the acute inhibitory effects are mediated by a decrease in the open probability of the ENaC. We conclude that 11,12-EET, 8,9-EET, and 14,15-EET are endogenously formed eicosanoids that modulate ENaC activity in the collecting duct.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are mainly due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), occur via the retrograde ascent of the bacteria along the urinary tract system. The adhesion and invasion mechanisms of UPEC have been extensively studied in bladder epithelial cells, but less is known about the role of renal tubule epithelial cells (RTEC) in renal antibacterial defences. This review considers recent advances in the understanding of the role of RTECs in inducing an innate immune response mediated by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in experimental UTI. Collecting duct cells are a preferential site of adhesion of UPEC colonizing the kidneys. Epithelial TLR4 activation induces an inflammatory response and the recruitment of lipid rafts to the plasma membrane, both of which facilitate the transcytosis of non-cytolytic UPEC strains across intact collecting duct cell layers to invade the renal interstitium. Arginine vasopressin, which regulates water absorption in the collecting duct, also acts as a potent modulator of the TLR4-mediated intrarenal innate response caused by UPEC. The role of epithelial TLR5 in renal host defences is also discussed. These findings highlight the role of RTECs in triggering the innate immune response in the context of ascending UTIs.

Abstract
Most physical illness in vertebrates involves inflammation. Inflammation causes disease by fluid shifts across cell membranes and cell layers, changes in muscle function and generation of pain. These disease processes can be explained by changes in numbers or function of ion channels. Changes in ion channels have been detected in diarrhoeal illnesses, pyelonephritis, allergy, acute lung injury and systemic inflammatory response syndromes involving septic shock. The key role played by changes in ion transport is directly evident in inflammation-induced pain. Expression or function of all major categories of ion channels like sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium, transient receptor potential, purinergic receptor and acid-sensing ion channels can be influenced by cyto- and chemokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine, ATP, reactive oxygen species and protons released in inflammation. Key pathways in this interaction are cyclic nucleotide, phosphoinositide and mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated signalling, direct modification by reactive oxygen species like nitric oxide, ATP or protons and disruption of the cytoskeleton. Therapeutic interventions to modulate the adverse and overlapping effects of the numerous different inflammatory mediators on each ion transport system need to target adversely affected ion transport systems directly and locally.

Abstract
Members of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family bind to ErbB (EGFR) family receptors which play an important role in the regulation of various fundamental cell processes including cell proliferation and differentiation. The normal rodent kidney has been shown to express at least three members of the ErbB receptor family and is a major site of EGF ligand synthesis. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a group of diseases caused by mutations in single genes and is characterized by enlarged kidneys due to the formation of multiple cysts in both kidneys. Tubule cells proliferate, causing segmental dilation, in association with the abnormal deposition of several proteins. One of the first abnormalities described in cell biological studies of PKD pathogenesis was the abnormal mislocalization of the EGFR in cyst lining epithelial cells. The kidney collecting duct (CD) is predominantly an absorptive epithelium where electrogenic Na(+) entry is mediated by the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC). ENaC-mediated sodium absorption represents an important ion transport pathway in the CD that might be involved in the development of PKD. A role for EGF in the regulation of ENaC-mediated sodium absorption has been proposed. However, several investigations have reported contradictory results indicating opposite effects of EGF and its related factors on ENaC activity and sodium transport. Recent advances in understanding how proteins in the EGF family regulate the proliferation and sodium transport in normal and PKD epithelial cells are discussed here. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Aldosterone causes tissue inflammation leading to fibrosis and remodeling in the heart, vasculature, and kidney. We summarize recent data regarding the mechanism(s) through which aldosterone stimulates inflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Studies elucidate the cell-specific effects of mineralocorticoid receptor activation on inflammatory cell infiltration and adhesion, and highlight the role of the macrophage in the development of vascular collagen deposition and hypertension. Activation of nuclear factor-kappaB in vascular smooth muscle cells involves a complex interplay between the angiotensin subtype 1 (AT1) receptor and the mineralocorticoid receptor. Activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor by aldosterone stimulates an inflammatory phenotype in adipocytes and contributes to insulin resistance by increasing oxidative stress. SUMMARY Mechanistic studies of aldosterone-induced inflammation provide the rationale for an expanded therapeutic role for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and aldosterone synthase inhibitors.

Abstract
Nedd4-2, a E3 ubiquitin ligase, regulates epithelial sodium channel-mediated transcellular Na(+) transport in the collecting duct. We investigated the effect of Nedd4-2 on the junctional complex and paracellular conductance in mpkCCD(c14) cells, a collecting duct cell line. We demonstrate that Nedd4-2 coimmunoprecipitated with and reduced the expression of transfected occludin in HEK293 cells. This interaction was mediated via a conserved PY motif in the COOH terminus of occludin and mutation of this PY motif increased the half-life of transfected occludin in HEK293 cells from 6.4 to 11.4 h. We demonstrate that Nedd4-2 ubiquitinates occludin, which was not seen when a catalytically inactive form of Nedd4-2 was used. Overexpression of Nedd4-2 in mpkCCD(c14) cells reduced occludin at the tight junction and transiently increased paracellular conductance in a Ca(2+) switch assay consistent with a delay in the formation of tight junctions. Conversely, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Nedd4-2 increased occludin levels and reduced paracellular conductance. In summary, we demonstrate that Nedd4-2 plays a role in tight junction assembly and the regulation of paracellular conductance in the collecting duct.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the expression and activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which is one of the key mechanisms underlying tubular sodium reabsorption. M-1 cortical collecting duct cells were treated with IL-6 (100 ng/ml) for 12 h. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting were employed to examine the mRNA and protein abundance. Transepithelial voltage (V(te)) and resistance (R(te)) were measured with an ohm/voltmeter (EVOM, WPI). The equivalent current was calculated as the ratio of V(te) to R(te.) Treatment with IL-6 (n = 5) increased the mRNA abundance of alpha-ENaC by 11 +/- 7% (P = not significant), beta-ENaC by 78 +/- 14% (P = 0.01), gamma-ENaC by 185 +/- 38% (P = 0.02), and prostasin by 29 +/- 5% (P = 0.01), all normalized by beta-actin. Treatment with IL-6 increased the protein expression of alpha-ENaC by 19 +/- 3% (P = 0.001), beta-ENaC by 89 +/- 21% (P = 0.01), gamma-ENaC by 36 +/- 12% (P = 0.02), and prostasin by 33 +/- 6% (P = 0.02). The amiloride-sensitive sodium current increased by 37 +/- 5%, from 6.0 +/- 0.4 to 8.2 +/- 0.3 muA/cm(2) (P < 0.01), in the cells treated with IL-6 compared with controls (P = 0.01). Aprotinin (28 microg/ml), a prostasin inhibitor, reduced the amiloride-sensitive sodium current by 61 +/- 5%, from 6.1 +/- 0.3 to 3.7 +/- 0.2 muA/cm(2) (P = 0.01). The magnitude of the IL-6-induced amiloride-sensitive sodium current in the presence of aprotinin dropped by 57 +/- 2%, from 8.6 +/- 0.2 to 4.9 +/- 0.2 muA/cm(2) (P < 0.01). This study has identified a novel function of IL-6, namely, IL-6 may activate ENaC. Therefore, renal inflammation mediated by IL-6 likely contributes to impaired pressure natriuresis.

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

Abstract
Aldosterone effects are mediated by the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a transcription factor highly expressed in the distal nephron. Given that MR expression level constitutes a key element controlling hormone responsiveness, there is much interest in elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing MR expression. To investigate whether hyper- or hypotonicity could affect MR abundance, we established by targeted oncogenesis a novel immortalized cortical collecting duct (CCD) cell line and examined the impact of osmotic stress on MR expression. KC3AC1 cells form domes, exhibit a high transepithelial resistance, express 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 and functional endogenous MR, which mediates aldosterone-stimulated Na(+) reabsorption through the epithelial sodium channel activation. MR expression is tightly regulated by osmotic stress. Hypertonic conditions induce expression of tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein, an osmoregulatory transcription factor capable of binding tonicity-responsive enhancer response elements located in MR regulatory sequences. Surprisingly, hypertonicity leads to a severe reduction in MR transcript and protein levels. This is accompanied by a concomitant tonicity-induced expression of Tis11b, a mRNA-destabilizing protein that, by binding to the AU-rich sequences of the 3'-untranslated region of MR mRNA, may favor hypertonicity-dependent degradation of labile MR transcripts. In sharp contrast, hypotonicity causes a strong increase in MR transcript and protein levels. Collectively, we demonstrate for the first time that optimal adaptation of CCD cells to changes in extracellular fluid composition is accompanied by drastic modification in MR abundance via transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Osmotic stress-regulated MR expression may represent an important molecular determinant for cell-specific MR action, most notably in renal failure, hypertension, or mineralocorticoid resistance.

Abstract
1 Increased renal vascular resistance is one renal functional abnormality that contributes to hypertension, and alpha(1)-adrenoceptors play a pivotal role in modulating this renal vascular resistance. This study investigates the functional contribution of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes in the renal cortical vasculature of Wistar-Kyoto rats on a normal sodium diet (WKYNNa) compared with those given saline to drink for 6 weeks (WKYHNa). 2 The renal cortical vascular responses to the adrenergic agonists noradrenaline (NA), methoxamine (ME) and phenylephrine (PE) were measured in WKYHNa and WKYNNa rats either in the absence (the control phase) or presence of chloroethylclonidine (CEC), an alpha(1B)-adrenoceptor antagonist, 5-methylurapidil (5-MeU), an alpha(1A) antagonist, or BMY7378, an alpha(1D) antagonist. 3 Results showed a greater renal cortical vascular sensitivity to NA, PE and ME in the WKYHNa compared with WKYNNa rats (P < 0.05). Moreover, 5-MeU and BMY7378 attenuated adrenergically induced renal cortical vasoconstriction in WKYHNa and WKYNNa rats; this response was largely blunted in CEC-treated WKYHNa rats (all P < 0.05) but not in CEC-treated WKYNNa rats. 4 The data suggest that irrespective of dietary sodium content, in Wistar-Kyoto rats alpha(1A)- and alpha(1D)-subtypes are the major alpha(1)-adrenoceptors in renal cortical vasculature; however, there appears to be a functional involvement of alpha(1B)-adrenoceptors in the WKYHNa rats.

Abstract
The aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN) includes the late distal convoluted tubule 2, the connecting tubule (CNT) and the collecting duct. The appropriate regulation of sodium (Na(+)) absorption in the ASDN is essential to precisely match urinary Na(+) excretion to dietary Na(+) intake whilst taking extra-renal Na(+) losses into account. There is increasing evidence that Na(+) transport in the CNT is of particular importance for the maintenance of body Na(+) balance and for the long-term control of extra-cellular fluid volume and arterial blood pressure. Na(+) transport in the CNT critically depends on the activity and abundance of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the luminal membrane of the CNT cells. As a rate-limiting step for transepithelial Na(+) transport, ENaC is the main target of hormones (e.g. aldosterone, angiotensin II, vasopressin and insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1) to adjust transepithelial Na(+) transport in this tubular segment. In this review, we highlight the structural and functional properties of the CNT that contribute to the high Na(+) transport capacity of this segment. Moreover, we discuss some aspects of the complex pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in ENaC regulation by hormones, kinases, proteases and associated proteins that control its function. Whilst cultured cells and heterologous expression systems have greatly advanced our knowledge about some of these regulatory mechanisms, future studies will have to determine the relative importance of the various pathways in the native tubule and in particular in the CNT.

Abstract
Mucosal tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract are typically exposed to a tremendous number of microorganisms and many of them are potentially dangerous to the host. In contrast, the urogenital tract is rather infrequently colonized with bacterial organisms and also devoid of physical barriers as a multi-layered mucus or ciliated epithelia, thereby necessitating separate host defence mechanisms. Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) represents the successful case of microbial host evasion and poses a major medical and economic health problem. During recent years considerable advances have been made in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the immune homeostasis of the urogenital tract. Hence, the system of pathogen-recognition receptors including the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is able to sense danger signalling and thus activate the host immune system of the genitourinary tract. Additionally, various soluble antimicrobial molecules including iron-sequestering proteins, defensins, cathelicidin and Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), as well as their role for the prevention of UTI by modulating innate and adaptive immunity, have been more clearly defined. Furthermore, signalling mediators like cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or the circulatory hormone vasopressin were shown to be involved in the defence of uropathogenic microbes and maintenance of mucosal integrity. Beyond this, specific receptors e.g. CD46 or beta1/beta 3-integrins, have been elucidated that are hijacked by uropathogenic E. coli to enable invasion and survival within the urogenital system paving the way for chronic forms of urinary tract infection. Collectively, the majority of these findings offer novel avenues for basic and translational research implying effective therapies against the diverse forms of acute and chronic UTI.

Abstract
Physiological and pharmacological processes mediated by glucocorticoids involve tissue- and context-specific regulation of glucocorticoid-responsive gene expression via glucocorticoid receptor (GR). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such highly coordinated regulation of glucocorticoid actions remain to be studied. We here addressed this issue using atp1a1 and scnn1a, both of which are up-regulated in response to corticosteroids in human embryonic kidney-derived 293 cells, but resistant in liver-derived HepG2 cells. Hexamethylene bisacetamide-inducible protein 1 (HEXIM1) represses gene expression via, at least, two distinct mechanisms, i.e. positive transcription elongation factor b sequestration and direct interaction with GR, and is relatively high in HepG2 cells compared with 293 cells. Given this, we focused on the role of HEXIM1 in transcriptional regulation of these GR target genes. In HepG2 cells, hormone resistance of atp1a1 and scnn1a was diminished by either knockdown of HEXIM1 or overexpression of GR. Such a positive effect of exogenous expression of GR was counteracted by concomitant overexpression of HEXIM1, indicating the balance between GR and HEXIM1 modulates hormonal sensitivity of these genes. In support of this, the hormone-dependent recruitment of RNA polymerase II onto atp1a1 promoter was in parallel with that of GR. Moreover, we revealed that not positive transcription elongation factor b-suppressing activity but direct interaction with GR of HEXIM1 plays a major role in suppression of promoter recruitment of the receptor and subsequent atp1a1 and scnn1a gene activation. Collectively, we may conclude that HEXIM1 may participate in tissue-selective determination of glucocorticoid sensitivity via direct interaction with GR at least in certain gene sets including atp1a1 and scnn1a.

Abstract
The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) transports Na+ across tight epithelia, including the distal nephron. Different paradigms of ENaC regulation include extrinsic and intrinsic factors that affect the expression, single-channel properties, and intracellular trafficking of the channel. In particular, recent discoveries highlight new findings regarding proteolytic processing, ubiquitination, and recycling of the channel. Understanding the regulation of this channel is critical to the understanding of various clinical phenomena, including normal physiology and several diseases of kidney and lung epithelia, such as blood pressure (BP) control, edema, and airway fluid clearance. Significant progress has been achieved in this active field of research. Although ENaC is classically thought to be a mediator of BP and volume status through Na+ reabsorption in the distal nephron, several studies in animal models highlight important roles for ENaC in lung pathophysiology, including in cystic fibrosis. The purpose of this review is to highlight the various modes and mechanisms of ENaC regulation, with a focus on more recent studies and their clinical implications.

Abstract
Ascending urinary tract infection (UTI) and pyelonephritis caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are very common infections that can cause severe kidney damage. Collecting duct cells, the site of hormonally regulated ion transport and water absorption controlled by vasopressin, are the preferential intrarenal site of bacterial adhesion and initiation of inflammatory response. We investigated the effect of the potent V2 receptor (V2R) agonist deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) on the activation of the innate immune response using established and primary cultured collecting duct cells and an experimental model of ascending UTI. dDAVP inhibited Toll-like receptor 4–mediated nuclear factor κB activation and chemokine secretion in a V2R-specific manner. The dDAVP-mediated suppression involved activation of protein phosphatase 2A and required an intact cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl− channel. In vivo infusion of dDAVP induced a marked fall in proinflammatory mediators and neutrophil recruitment, and a dramatic rise in the renal bacterial burden in mice inoculated with UPECs. Conversely, administration of the V2R antagonist SR121463B to UPEC-infected mice stimulated both the local innate response and the antibacterial host defense. These findings evidenced a novel hormonal regulation of innate immune cellular activation and demonstrate that dDAVP is a potent modulator of microbial-induced inflammation in the kidney.

Abstract
We investigated the role and mechanism of H2O2 in regulation of NaCl transport in primary inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. IMCD cells were isolated from wild-type mice and grown onto semipermeable membranes, and short-circuit current (Isc) was determined by Ussing chamber. Exposure of IMCD cells to H2O2 at a range of 100-300 microM caused a rapid increase in Isc in a time- and dose-dependent manner. This increase was almost abolished by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel inhibitors diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPC) and CFTR inhibitor-172. In contrast, the magnitude of stimulation was unaffected by the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) inhibitor amiloride. The H2O2-induced Cl(-) secretion was significantly inhibited by indomethacin, as well as by microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) deficiency. Like H2O2, PGE2 treatment induced a twofold increase in Isc that was reduced by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors H-89 and KT5720. These data suggest that H2O2 stimulates CFTR Cl(-) channel-mediated Cl(-) secretion through cyclooxygenase- and mPGES-1-dependent release of PGE2 and subsequent activation of PKA.

Abstract
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (ET) is a potent pore-forming cytotoxin causing fatal enterotoxemia in livestock. ET accumulates in brain and kidney, particularly in the renal distal-collecting ducts. ET binds and oligomerizes in detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) microdomains and causes cell death. However, the causal linkage between membrane permeabilization and cell death is not clear. Here, we show that ET binds and forms 220-kDa insoluble complexes in plasma membrane DRMs of renal mpkCCD(cl4) collecting duct cells. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C did not impair binding or the formation of ET complexes, suggesting that the receptor for ET is not GPI anchored. ET induced a dose-dependent fall in the transepithelial resistance and potential in confluent cells grown on filters, transiently stimulated Na+ absorption, and induced an inward ionic current and a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i. ET also induced rapid depletion of cellular ATP, and stimulated the AMP-activated protein kinase, a metabolic-sensing Ser/Thr kinase. ET also induced mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and mitochondrial-nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor, a potent caspase-independent cell death effector. Finally, ET induced cell necrosis characterized by a marked reduction in nucleus size without DNA fragmentation. DRM disruption by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin impaired ET oligomerization, and significantly reduced the influx of Na+ and [Ca2+]i, but did not impair ATP depletion and cell death caused by the toxin. These findings indicate that ET causes rapid necrosis of renal collecting duct cells and establish that ATP depletion-mediated cell death is not strictly correlated with the plasma membrane permeabilization and ion diffusion caused by the toxin.
