Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a congenital genetic disorder, is a notable contributor to the prevalence of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Despite the absence of a complete cure, ongoing research aims for early diagnosis and treatment. Although agents such as tolvaptan and mTOR inhibitors have been utilized, their effectiveness in managing the disease during its initial phase has certain limitations. This review aimed to explore new targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of ADPKD, considering ongoing developments. We particularly focus on cell polarity, which is a key factor that influences the process and pace of cyst formation. In addition, we aimed to identify agents or treatments that can prevent or impede the progression of renal fibrosis, ultimately slowing its trajectory toward end-stage renal disease. Recent advances in slowing ADPKD progression have been examined, and potential therapeutic approaches targeting multiple pathways have been introduced. This comprehensive review discusses innovative strategies to address the challenges of ADPKD and provides valuable insights into potential avenues for its prevention and treatment.

Glucocorticoids Promote Na+ Excretion in the Renal Epithelia of Heart Failure Rats by Suppressing Transporter Proteins Involved in Acute Sodium Loading. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2022; 80:453-463.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Glucocorticoid receptors are essential for normal development and stress responses. Their role in H 2 O and Na + metabolism, especially in chronic heart failure (CHF), is not well defined. In a previous study, we found that glucocorticoids potentiate urination in CHF and promote H 2 O excretion by inhibiting the vasopressin receptor 2 pathway. The present study examines the effect of glucocorticoids on renal Na + excretion and the underlying mechanisms in CHF rats with acute sodium loading. CHF was induced by left coronary artery ligation for 8 weeks. Rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups: control, CHF, dexamethasone (DEX)-administered CHF, DEX-administered CHF treated with RU486 (mifepristone, a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist), and RU486-treated CHF. An acute sodium loading test was performed 6 hours after DEX administration. Blood and urine samples were collected, and hemodynamics were measured. The expression and localization of Na + transporter proteins were determined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. DEX increased the urine volume and urinary sodium and improved cardiac function and the estimated glomerular filtration rate in CHF rats. The upregulation of the epithelial sodium channel β and γ subunits, Na-K-2Cl cotransporter, serum glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1), and Na + /K + -ATPase in the renal epithelium of CHF rats was downregulated by DEX. These beneficial effects were abolished by RU486. The expression of natriuretic peptide receptor A was opposite that of the above proteins. Glucocorticoids might induce profound natriuresis in CHF rats during acute sodium loading, which is associated with downregulating some Na + transporter proteins in the renal epithelium and improving intrarenal hemodynamics.

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
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is tightly controlled to maintain body volume homeostasis. The rate of sodium transport by collecting duct (CD) cells varies widely in response to dietary sodium intake, GFR, circulating hormones, neural signals, and local regulatory factors. Reabsorption of filtered sodium by CD cells occurs via a two-step process. First, luminal sodium crosses the apical plasma membrane along its electrochemical gradient through epithelial sodium channels (ENaC). Intracellular sodium is then actively extruded into the interstitial space by the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase located along the basolateral membrane. Mismatch between sodium entry and exit induces variations in sodium intracellular concentration and cell volume that must be maintained within narrow ranges for control of vital cell functions. Therefore, renal epithelial cells display highly coordinated apical and basolateral sodium transport rates. We review evidence from experiments conducted in vivo and in cultured cells that indicates aldosterone and vasopressin, the two major hormones regulating sodium reabsorption by CD, generate a coordinated stimulation of apical ENaC and basolateral Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Moreover, we discuss evidence suggesting that variations in sodium entry per se induce a coordinated change in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity through the signaling of protein kinases such as protein kinase A and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.

Abstract
The principal cell of the kidney collecting duct is one of the most highly regulated epithelial cell types in vertebrates. The effects of hormonal, autocrine, and paracrine factors to regulate principal cell transport processes are central to the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in the face of wide variations in food and water intake. In marked contrast with the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule, the collecting duct is electrically tight, and ion and osmotic gradients can be very high. The central role of principal cells in salt and water transport is reflected by their defining transporters-the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), the renal outer medullary K(+) channel, and the aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channel. The coordinated regulation of ENaC by aldosterone, and AQP2 by arginine vasopressin (AVP) in principal cells is essential for the control of plasma Na(+) and K(+) concentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and BP. In addition to these essential hormones, additional neuronal, physical, and chemical factors influence Na(+), K(+), and water homeostasis. Notably, a variety of secreted paracrine and autocrine agents such as bradykinin, ATP, endothelin, nitric oxide, and prostaglandin E2 counterbalance and limit the natriferic effects of aldosterone and the water-retaining effects of AVP. Considerable recent progress has improved our understanding of the transporters, receptors, second messengers, and signaling events that mediate principal cell responses to changing environments in health and disease. This review primarily addresses the structure and function of the key transporters and the complex interplay of regulatory factors that modulate principal cell ion and water transport.

Abstract
AIMS Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic. However, it is associated with numerous adverse effects. The aim of our study was examination of cisplatin interaction with Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA, the sodium pump). This enzyme is of crucial importance for all animal cells and particularly for the kidney, which is frequently damaged during chemotherapy. METHODS The entire NKA was isolated from porcine kidney. Its large cytoplasmic segment connecting transmembrane helices 4 and 5 (C45), was heterologously expressed in E.coli (wild-type or C367S mutant). The ATPase activity was evaluated according to the inorganic phosphate production and the interaction of isolated C45 with cisplatin was studied using chronopotentiometry and mass spectrometry. RESULTS Our experiments revealed that cisplatin can inhibit NKA. The finding that other platinum-based drugs with a low nephrotoxicity, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, did not inhibit NKA, suggested that NKA/cisplatin interaction is an important factor in cisplatin adverse effects. The inhibitory effect of cisplatin could be prevented by preincubation of the enzyme with reduced glutathione or DTT. Using chronopotentiometry and mass spectrometry, we found that cisplatin is bound to C45. However, our mutagenesis experiment did not confirm that the suggested Cys367 could be the binding site for cisplatin. CONCLUSION Unintended interactions of drugs present serious limitations to treatment success. Although a large number of membrane pumps have been identified as potential targets of cisplatin, vis-a-vis nephrotoxicity, NKA inhibition seems to be of crucial importance. Experiments with isolated large cytoplasmic segment C45 revealed that it is the main target of cisplatin on NKA and that the reaction with cysteine residues plays an important role in cisplatin/NKA interactions. However, further experiments must be performed to identify the interacting amino acid residues more precisely.

Abstract
A new understanding of renal potassium balance has emerged as the molecular underpinnings of potassium secretion have become illuminated, highlighting the key roles of apical potassium channels, renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK) and Big Potassium (BK), in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron and collecting duct. These channels act as the final-regulated components of the renal potassium secretory machinery. Their activity, number, and driving forces are precisely modulated to ensure potassium excretion matches dietary potassium intake. Recent identification of the underlying regulatory mechanisms at the molecular level provides a new appreciation of the physiology and reveals a molecular insight to explain the paradoxic actions of aldosterone on potassium secretion. Here, we review the current state of knowledge in the field.

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
This study was aimed at verifying the hypothesis that acute kidney failure accompanying cisplatin administration in the cancer therapy could be due to cisplatin interaction with the cytoplasmic part of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. Our results demonstrated that cisplatin-binding caused inhibition of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, in contrast to other platinated chemotherapeutics such as carboplatin and oxaliplatin, which are known to be much less nephrotoxic. To acquire more detailed structural information, we performed a series of experiments with the isolated large cytoplasmic segment connecting transmembrane helices 4 and 5 (C45 loop) of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. Electrochemistry showed that cisplatin is bound to the cysteine residues of the C45 loop, mass spectrometry revealed a modification of the C45 peptide fragment GSHMASLEAVETLGSTSTICSDK, which contains the conserved phosphorylated residue Asp369. Hence, we hypothesize that binding of cisplatin to Cys367 can cause sterical obstruction during the phosphorylation or dephosphorylation step of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Maintenance of extracellular K(+) concentration within a narrow range is vital for numerous cell functions, particularly electrical excitability of heart and muscle. Potassium homeostasis during intermittent ingestion of K(+) involves rapid redistribution of K(+) into the intracellular space to minimize increases in extracellular K(+) concentration, and ultimate elimination of the K(+) load by renal excretion. Recent years have seen great progress in identifying the transporters and channels involved in renal and extrarenal K(+) homeostasis. Here we apply these advances in molecular physiology to understand how acid-base disturbances affect serum potassium.

Abstract
Bartter syndrome is a hereditary disorder that has been characterized by the association of hypokalemia, alkalosis, and the hypertrophy of the juxtaglomerular complex with secondary hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. By contrast, the genetic causes of Bartter syndrome primarily affect molecular structures directly involved in the sodium reabsorption at the level of the Henle loop. The ensuing urinary sodium wasting and chronic sodium depletion are responsible for the contraction of the extracellular volume, the activation of the renin-aldosterone axis, the secretion of prostaglandins, and the biological adaptations of downstream tubular segments, meaning the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct. These secondary biological adaptations lead to hypokalemia and alkalosis, illustrating a close integration of the solutes regulation in the tubular structures.

Abstract
Stimulation of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase translocation to the cell surface increases active Na(+) transport, which is the driving force of alveolar fluid reabsorption, a process necessary to keep the lungs free of edema and to allow normal gas exchange. Here, we provide evidence that insulin increases alveolar fluid reabsorption and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity by increasing its translocation to the plasma membrane in alveolar epithelial cells. Insulin-induced Akt activation is necessary and sufficient to promote Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase translocation to the plasma membrane. Phosphorylation of AS160 by Akt is also required in this process, whereas inactivation of the Rab GTPase-activating protein domain of AS160 promotes partial Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase translocation in the absence of insulin. We found that Rab10 functions as a downstream target of AS160 in insulin-induced Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase translocation. Collectively, these results suggest that Akt plays a major role in Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase intracellular translocation and thus in alveolar fluid reabsorption.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA) is an ubiquitous enzyme consisting of α, β and γ subunits, and is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Na(+) and K(+) gradients across the cell membrane by transporting 3 Na(+) out and 2 K(+) into the cell. Sodium pump regulation is tissue as well as isoform specific. Intracellular messengers differentially regulate the activity of the individual NKA isozymes. Regulation of specific NKA isozymes gives cells the ability to precisely coordinate NKA activity to their physiological requirements. It is the only known receptor for the cardiac glycosides used to treat congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. Endogenous ligands structurally similar to cardiac glycosides may act as natural regulators of the sodium pump in heart and other tissues. Identification of naturally occurring regulators of NKA could initiate the discovery of new hormone-like control systems involved in the etiology of selected disease processes, hence the importance of understanding the relation of the sodium pump and its ligands to disease. Diabetes has a marked effect on the metabolism of a variety of tissues and because the NKA is critical for the membrane potential and many transports, a change in its activity in diabetes would have profound consequence in these tissues. NKA is also involved in hypertension, salt balance, cardiovascular and renal disorders, sperm capacitation, cell volume regulation, apoptosis, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, neurological disorders, lung edema clearance and preeclampsia. NKA activity and expression in the collecting duct of kidney are modulated physiologically by hormones like aldosterone, vasopressin, and insulin. NKA enzyme activity and subunit levels are reduced in carcinoma, NKA-β levels were highly reduced in an invasive form of human renal clear cell carcinoma, androgen-dependent prostate cancer, in early stages of urothelial cancer, as well as in poorly differentiated, highly motile carcinoma cell lines obtained from various tissues suggesting a functional link between reduced NKA-β expression and cancer progression. It could be a target for the development of anticancer drugs as it serves as a signal transducer, it is a player in cell adhesion and its aberrant expression and activity are implicated in the development and progression of different cancers.

Abstract
Polyuria, hypernatremia, and hypovolemia are the major clinical signs of inherited nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Hypernatremia is commonly considered a secondary sign caused by the net loss of water due to insufficient insertion of aquaporin-2 water channels into the apical membrane of the collecting duct cells. In the present study, we employed transcriptome-wide expression analysis to study gene expression in V2 vasopressin receptor (Avpr2)-deficient mice, an animal model for X-linked NDI. Gene expression changes in NDI mice indicate increased proximal tubular sodium reabsorption. Expression of several key genes including Na+-K+-ATPase and carbonic anhydrases was increased at the mRNA levels and accompanied by enhanced enzyme activities. In addition, altered expression was also observed for components of the eicosanoid and thyroid hormone pathways, including cyclooxygenases and deiodinases, in both kidney and hypothalamus. These effects are likely to contribute to the clinical NDI phenotype. Finally, our data highlight the involvement of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in NDI pathophysiology and provide clues to explain the effectiveness of diuretics and indomethacin in the treatment of NDI.

Abstract
Renal hypertrophy and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins are consistent findings in diabetic nephropathy and these processes can be halted or reversed by euglycemic control. Using DNA microarray analysis of glomerular RNA from control and diabetic rats we found that the expression levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) were increased while those of suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) and STAT5 were decreased. All of these changes were normalized by islet cell transplantation. Overexpression of SOCS2 in rat mesangial cells inhibited IGF-1-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, which subsequently reduced type IV collagen and DNA synthesis, an effect due to interaction of SOCS2 with IGF-1R. Inhibition of SOCS2 overexpression by small interfering RNA suppressed IGF-1R-mediated actions by preventing phosphorylation of tyrosine 317 in the p66Shc adaptor protein; however, overexpression of either SOCS1 or SOCS3 did not affect IGF-1R signaling. Insulin directly increased STAT5 and SOCS2 expression in mesangial cells. This study shows that insulin can inhibit the mitogenic action of IGF-1 in mesangial cells by regulating STAT5/SOCS2 expression. Insulin deficiency may contribute to the mesangial expansion found in diabetes through reduced STAT5/SOCS2 expression.

Abstract
CONCLUSION This study indicates that epithelial Na(+)-selective channels (ENaC) recycle Na(+) via clathrin-mediated endocytosis in the marginal cells of the stria vascularis and that clathrin-independent endocytosis appeared to be modulated by the amount of Na(+) transported. These results suggest the presence of ENaC in the luminal membrane of marginal cells and that ENaC are an efficient pathway for the uptake of Na(+) from the endolymph. OBJECTIVE The ENaC found in many transporting epithelia play a key role in the regulation of salts and water homeostasis, cellular pH, cell volume, and cell function. Both biochemical and physiological approaches have been used to identify, characterize, and quantify this important channel, but its location in the marginal cells of the stria vascularis has not been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to determine the localization and regulation of ENaC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty healthy female guinea pigs were used: 20 for the control experiment, 10 for the amiloride experiment, and 10 for the aldosterone experiment. We perfused cationized ferritin (CF) and microperoxidase (MPO) as tracers for clathrin-mediated and clathrin-independent endocytosis, respectively, into the cochlear duct. After 30 min of endolymphatic perfusion, the tissues were fixed and CF- and MPO-loaded endosomes within the marginal cell were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The numbers of CF- and MPO-loaded endosomes were compared between the three groups. RESULTS In the amiloride group, the numbers of CF- and MPO-loaded endosomes decreased in comparison with the control. In the aldosterone group, the numbers of CF- and MPO-loaded endosomes decreased and increased, respectively. Recently, it has been reported that ENaC are endocytosed via clathrin-mediated endosomes and aldosterone decreases the rate of endocytosis of ENaC. In this study, the results of the aldosterone experiment were consistent with those of recent studies.

Abstract
Sodium retention and edema are common features of nephrotic syndrome that are classically attributed to hypovolemia and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. However, numbers of clinical and experimental findings argue against this underfill theory. In this review we analyze data from the literature in both nephrotic patients and experimental models of nephrotic syndrome that converge to demonstrate that sodium retention is not related to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone status and that fluid leakage from capillary to the interstitium does not result from an imbalance of Starling forces, but from changes of the intrinsic properties of the capillary endothelial filtration barrier. We also discuss how most recent findings on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of sodium retention has allowed the development of an efficient treatment of edema in nephrotic patients.

Abstract
The post-macula densa segments of the renal tubule--that is, the distal convoluted tubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct--play a central role in determining final urine sodium excretion. The major regulated sodium transporters and channels in these cell types include the thiazide-sensitive (Na-Cl) cotransporter (NCC), the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and Na-K-ATPase. Furthermore, although not involved in sodium reabsorption, the anion exchanger, pendrin, and the basolateral bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC1 or BSC2) have roles in blood-volume maintenance. Mutations in several of these major sodium transporters, channel subunits, and their regulatory proteins have been linked to human diseases such as Liddle's syndrome, Gitelman's syndrome, and Gordon's syndrome, emphasizing the need for appropriate regulation of sodium at these sites for maintenance of sodium balance and normotension.
