Abstract
Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing the spread of the influenza virus. Cell-based influenza vaccines have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of egg-based vaccines and their production efficiency has been previously discussed. In this study, we investigated whether treatment with forskolin (FSK), an adenylyl cyclase activator, affected the output of a cell-based influenza vaccine. We found that FSK increased the propagation of three influenza virus subtypes (A/H1N1/California/4/09, A/H3N2/Mississippi/1/85, and B/Shandong/7/97) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Interestingly, FSK suppressed the growth of MDCK cells. This effect could be a result of protein kinase A (PKA)-Src axis activation, which downregulates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 activity and delays cell cycle progression from G1 to S. This delay in cell growth might benefit the binding and entry of the influenza virus in the early stages of viral replication. In contrast, FSK dramatically upregulated ERK1/2 activity via the cAMP-PKA-Raf-1 axis at a late stage of viral replication. Thus, increased ERK1/2 activity might contribute to increased viral ribonucleoprotein export and influenza virus propagation. The increase in viral titer induced by FSK could be explained by the action of cAMP in assisting the entry and binding of the influenza virus. Therefore, FSK addition to cell culture systems could help increase the production efficiency of cell-based vaccines against the influenza virus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The peptide hormone vasopressin regulates water transport in the renal collecting duct largely via the V2 receptor, which triggers a cAMP-mediated activation of a PKA-dependent signalling network. The protein kinases downstream from PKA have not been fully identified or mapped to regulated phosphoproteins. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We carried out systems-level analysis of large-scale phosphoproteomic data quantifying vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation in aquaporin-2-expressing cultured collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells. Quantification was done using stable isotope labelling (SILAC method). KEY RESULTS Six hundred forty phosphopeptides were quantified. Stringent statistical analysis identified significant changes in response to vasopressin in 429 of these phosphopeptides. The corresponding phosphoproteins were mapped to known vasopressin-regulated cellular processes. The vasopressin-regulated sites were classified according to the sequences surrounding the phosphorylated amino acids giving 11 groups. Among the vasopressin-regulated phosphoproteins were 25 distinct protein kinases. Among these, six plus PKA appeared to account for phosphorylation of about 81% of the 313 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites. The six downstream kinases were salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2), cyclin-dependent kinase 18 (Cdk18), calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (Camkk2), protein kinase D2 (Prkd2), mitogen-activated kinase 3 (Mapk3) and myosin light chain kinase (Mylk). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS In V2 receptor-mediated signalling, PKA is at the head of a complex network that includes at least six downstream vasopressin-regulated protein kinases that are prime targets for future study. The extensive phosphoproteomic data reported in this study are provided as a web-based data resource for future studies of GPCRs.

Abstract
The prorenin receptor (PRR), a recently discovered component of the renin-angiotensin system, is expressed in the nephron in general and the collecting duct in particular. However, the physiological significance of nephron PRR remains unclear, partly due to developmental abnormalities associated with global or renal-specific PRR gene knockout (KO). Therefore, we developed mice with inducible nephron-wide PRR deletion using Pax8-reverse tetracycline transactivator and LC-1 transgenes and loxP flanked PRR alleles such that ablation of PRR occurs in adulthood, after induction with doxycycline. Nephron-specific PRR KO mice have normal survival to ∼1 yr of age and no renal histological defects. Compared with control mice, PRR KO mice had 65% lower medullary PRR mRNA and protein levels and markedly diminished renal PRR immunofluorescence. During both normal water intake and mild water restriction, PRR KO mice had significantly lower urine osmolality, higher water intake, and higher urine volume compared with control mice. No differences were seen in urine vasopressin excretion, urine Na(+) and K(+) excretion, plasma Na(+), or plasma osmolality between the two groups. However, PRR KO mice had reduced medullary aquaporin-2 levels and arginine vasopressin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in the isolated renal medulla compared with control mice. Taken together, these results suggest nephron PRR can potentially modulate renal water excretion.

The ciliary protein cystin forms a regulatory complex with necdin to modulate Myc expression. PLoS One 2013; 8:e83062.

Abstract
Cystin is a novel cilia-associated protein that is disrupted in the cpk mouse, a well-characterized mouse model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Interestingly, overexpression of the Myc gene is evident in animal models of ARPKD and is thought to contribute to the renal cystic phenotype. Using a yeast two-hybrid approach, the growth suppressor protein necdin, known to modulate Myc expression, was found as an interacting partner of cystin. Deletion mapping demonstrated that the C-terminus of cystin and both termini of necdin are required for their mutual interaction. Speculating that these two proteins may function to regulate gene expression, we developed a luciferase reporter assay and observed that necdin strongly activated the Myc P1 promoter, and cystin did so more modestly. Interestingly, the necdin effect was significantly abrogated when cystin was co-transfected. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed a physical interaction with both necdin and cystin and the Myc P1 promoter, as well as between these proteins. The data suggest that these proteins likely function in a regulatory complex. Thus, we speculate that Myc overexpression in the cpk kidney results from the dysregulation of the cystin-necdin regulatory complex and c-Myc, in turn, contributes to cystogenesis in the cpk mouse.

Abstract
Vasopressin's action in renal cells to regulate water transport depends on protein phosphorylation. Here we used mass spectrometry-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify signaling pathways involved in the short-term V2-receptor-mediated response in cultured collecting duct cells (mpkCCD) from mouse. Using Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) with two treatment groups (0.1 nM dDAVP or vehicle for 30 min), we carried out quantification of 2884 phosphopeptides. The majority (82%) of quantified phosphopeptides did not change in abundance in response to dDAVP. Analysis of the 273 phosphopeptides increased by dDAVP showed a predominance of so-called "basophilic" motifs consistent with activation of kinases of the AGC family. Increases in phosphorylation of several known protein kinase A targets were found. In addition, increased phosphorylation of targets of the calmodulin-dependent kinase family was seen, including autophosphorylation of calmodulin-dependent kinase 2 at T286. Analysis of the 254 phosphopeptides decreased in abundance by dDAVP showed a predominance of so-called "proline-directed" motifs, consistent with down-regulation of mitogen-activated or cyclin-dependent kinases. dDAVP decreased phosphorylation of both JNK1/2 (T183/Y185) and ERK1/2 (T183/Y185; T203/Y205), consistent with a decrease in activation of these proline-directed kinases in response to dDAVP. Both ERK and JNK were able to phosphorylate residue S261of aquaporin-2 in vitro, a site showing a decrease in phosphorylation in response to dDAVP in vivo. The data support roles for multiple vasopressin V2-receptor-dependent signaling pathways in the vasopressin signaling network of collecting duct cells, involving several kinases not generally accepted to regulate collecting duct function.

Abstract
Urea plays a critical role in the concentration of urine, thereby regulating water balance. Vasopressin, acting through cAMP, stimulates urea transport across rat terminal inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD) by increasing the phosphorylation and accumulation at the apical plasma membrane of UT-A1. In addition to acting through protein kinase A (PKA), cAMP also activates Epac (exchange protein activated by cAMP). In this study, we tested whether the regulation of urea transport and UT-A1 transporter activity involve Epac in rat IMCD. Functional analysis showed that an Epac activator significantly increased urea permeability in isolated, perfused rat terminal IMCD. Similarly, stimulating Epac by adding forskolin and an inhibitor of PKA significantly increased urea permeability. Incubation of rat IMCD suspensions with the Epac activator significantly increased UT-A1 phosphorylation and its accumulation in the plasma membrane. Furthermore, forskolin-stimulated cAMP significantly increased ERK 1/2 phosphorylation, which was not prevented by inhibiting PKA, indicating that Epac mediated this phosphorylation of ERK 1/2. Inhibition of MEK 1/2 phosphorylation decreased the forskolin-stimulated UT-A1 phosphorylation. Taken together, activation of Epac increases urea transport, accumulation of UT-A1 at the plasma membrane, and UT-A1 phosphorylation, the latter of which is mediated by the MEK-ERK pathway.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates water excretion through effects on the renal collecting duct. Vasopressin signaling in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) is mediated by V2 receptor occupation coupled to the generation of cyclic AMP. Here, we employ a "systems" approach to analysis of vasopressin signaling. The objective is to investigate roles of activation of the Akt and ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathways, as well as Ca2+ mobilization, in IMCD cells isolated from rat kidney. The V2 receptor-selective vasopressin analog dDAVP increased the state of Akt activation (increased phosphorylation at T308 and S473) and decreased the state of ERK1/2 activation (decreased phosphorylation at T202 and Y204). Akt activation was blocked by an inhibitor of PI3K, LY294002. In microdissected IMCD segments, nonperiodic spike-like increases in intracellular Ca2+ (FLUO-4) were accelerated by vasopressin. Chelation of Ca2+ or calmodulin inhibition markedly decreased Akt phosphorylation. Decreased ERK1/2 phosphorylation was associated with a decrease in MEK1/2 phosphorylation and an increase in c-Raf phosphorylation at S259 (an inhibitory site). Based on the current findings integrated with previous findings in the IMCD, we now report a 33-node vasopressin signaling network involved in vasopressin regulation of IMCD function.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of catechin on adjuvant arthritis (AA) in the rat and its possible mechanisms of action. AA was induced by metatarsal footpad injection with complete Freund's adjuvant in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The secondary inflammatory reaction was evaluated through assessment of hind paw swelling, polyarthritis index, and pain response. Proliferation of synoviocytes and the activity of interleukin-1 were examined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in synoviocytes were measured by radioimmunoassay. The PGE(2) receptor, EP(2), was analyzed by Western blot analysis. Intragastric administration of catechin (60 and 120 mg/kg) significantly suppressed secondary inflammatory paw swelling, pain response, and polyarthritis index. It also inhibited production of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and PGE(2) and increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in rats with AA. In the immunoblot analysis, catechin could upregulate expression of EP(2) in the synoviocytes of rats with AA. The results showed that catechin reduced secondary inflammation in rats with AA; this outcome reflects its ability to mediate cAMP levels, upregulate expression of EP(2), and inhibit secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in rats with AA.

Abstract
Total glucosides of paeony (TGP) is the major active constituent of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of TGP on adjuvant arthritis (AA) of rat and its possible mechanisms. AA was induced by metatarsal footpad injection with complete Freund's adjuvant in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The secondary inflammatory reaction was evaluated by hind paw swelling, polyarthritis index. Activity of interleukin-1 (IL-1) was detected by Con A-induced thymocytes proliferation of C57BL/6J mice assay. The tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in synoviocytes were assessed by radioimmunoassay (RIA). PGE(2) receptors, EP2 and EP4, were analyzed by Western blot analysis. The level of IL-6 was measured by ELISA. Intragastric administration of TGP (50,100 mg/kg) significantly decreased secondary inflammatory reaction in AA rats. Suppressing the activity of IL-1 and TNFalpha, decreased PGE(2) and increased cAMP levels in synoviocytes of AA rats were observed after administration of TGP. In the immunoblot analysis, TGP could up-regulate the expression of EP2 and EP4. These results showed TGP significantly inhibited the progression of AA, and the inhibitory effects might be associated with its ability to mediate the level of cAMP and inhibit the production of IL-1, TNFalpha, IL-6 and PGE(2) from activated synoviocytes.

Abstract
The V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) activates the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) ERK1/2 through a mechanism involving the scaffolding protein beta arrestin. Here we report that this activating pathway is independent of G alpha s, G alpha i, G alpha q or G betagamma and that the V2R-mediated activation of G alpha s inhibits ERK1/2 activity in a cAMP/PKA-dependent manner. In the HEK293 cells studied, the beta arrestin-promoted activation was found to dominate over the PKA-mediated inhibition of the pathway, leading to a strong vasopressin-stimulated ERK1/2 activation. Despite the strong MAPK activation and in contrast with other GPCR, V2R did not induce any significant increase in DNA synthesis, consistent with the notion that the stable interaction between V2R and beta arrestin prevents signal propagation to the nucleus. Beta arrestin was found to be essential for the ERK1/2 activation, indicating that the recruitment of the scaffolding protein is necessary and sufficient to initiate the signal in the absence of any other stimulatory cues. Based on the use of selective pharmacological inhibitors, dominant negative mutants and siRNA, we conclude that the beta arrestin-dependent activation of ERK1/2 by the V2R involves c-Src and a metalloproteinase-dependent trans-activation event. These findings demonstrate that beta arrestin is a genuine signalling initiator that can, on its own, engage a MAPK activation machinery upon stimulation of a GPCR by its natural ligand.

Abstract
We have analyzed the expression and regulation of plasminogen activators (PA) in principal cells of the renal collecting duct. We used a rabbit principal cell line (RC.SVtsA58) infected with the temperature-sensitive SV40 strain tsA58. Transformed cells cultured at permissive temperature (33 degrees C) produced only tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Shifting the cells to nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C) induced their differentiation and a marked increase in total fibrinolytic activity due to the induction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) synthesis and secretion. The effect on u-PA was post-transcriptional and it could be attributed to large-T inactivation at 39.5 degrees C since it was abolished by re-infecting the cells with wild-type SV40. Run-on assay and real-time RT-PCR of u-PA transcripts indicated that large-T altered post-transcriptional regulation. u-PA was also produced by primary cultures of collecting duct cells and was present in the rabbit urine. In the kidney, u-PA and its receptor (u-PAR) were almost exclusively expressed at the apex of collecting duct cells. We then analyzed the regulation of u-PA by arginine vasopressin (AVP) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), two key regulators of principal cell functions. We found that AVP and EGF, which have opposite hydro-osmotic effects in the collecting duct, also exhibited contrasted effects on u-PA synthesis in differentiated RC.SVtsA58 cells. EGF increased but AVP suppressed u-PA activity and protein, and these regulations occurred at post-transcriptional level. These results point to a physiological role of u-PA in principal cells of the renal collecting duct.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The bile acids filtered through the glomeruli nearly completely escape urinary excretion due to an efficient tubular reabsorption process. Reabsorption is mediated mainly by the sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) which is located in the brush border membranes of proximal tubular cells. The present study addresses the question whether this transporter is subject to short-term regulation by protein kinases. METHODS The effects of specific activators or inhibitors of eight different protein kinases (PKs) on 3H-taurocholate uptake of proximal tubular cells were investigated. The cells were freshly isolated from rat kidneys by nycodenz density gradient centrifugation. RESULTS Activation of the cAMP/PKA system by forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP, or the cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine significantly diminished cellular 3H-taurocholate uptake whereas 8-Br-cGMP had no effect. Also the MEK1/2 inhibitors PD98059 and U0126, and the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitor SB203580 decreased 3H-taurocholate uptake. Phorbol myristate acetate and dioctanolglycerol, activators of PKC, and chelerythrine, a selective inhibitor of PKC, did not affect 3H-taurocholate uptake. Likewise the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein induced no significant change of cellular 3H-taurocholate uptake. In a sodium-free medium forskolin and PD98059 did not affect 3H-taurocholate uptake but SB203580 significantly decreased it. CONCLUSION It is concluded that PKA and MAP kinases are involved in the regulation of the ASBT-mediated taurocholate uptake into proximal tubular cells. p38 MAP kinase may have an additional effect on a sodium-independent tubular taurocholate transporter.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary disease that features multiple cystogenesis in various organs and vascular defects. The genes responsible for ADPKD, PKD1, and PKD2 have been identified, and the pathological processes of the disease are becoming clearer. This review focuses on recent findings about the molecular and cellular biology of ADPKD, and especially on PKD1. PKD1 and its product, polycystin-1, play pivotal roles in cellular differentiation because they regulate the cell cycle and because polycystin-1 is a component of adherens junctions. A possible link between polycystin-1 and PPARgamma is discussed. The extraordinarily fast research progress in this area in the last decade has now reached a stage where the development of a remedy for ADPKD might become possible in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), cAMP-stimulated cell proliferation and Cl- secretion via the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel drive the enlargement of fluid-filled epithelial cysts. To investigate how CFTR blockers inhibit cyst growth, we studied cAMP-dependent Cl- secretion, cell proliferation, and cyst growth using type I Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells as a model of renal cyst development and growth. METHODS We grew MDCK cysts in collagen gels in the presence of the cAMP agonist forskolin, measured Cl- secretion with the Ussing chamber technique, and assayed cell proliferation using nonpolarized and polarized MDCK cells. To inhibit CFTR, we used glibenclamide, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid (NPPB), genistein, and the specific CFTR inhibitor CFTRinh-172. As controls, we tested the effects of blockers of other types of apical membrane Cl- channels and inhibitors of basolateral membrane ion channels and transporters. RESULTS In the absence of inhibitors of transepithelial ion transport, forskolin stimulated dramatic cyst growth. CFTR blockers and inhibitors of basolateral membrane ion channels and transporters retarded cyst growth. In contrast, blockers of other types of apical membrane Cl- channels, which were without effect on CFTR, failed to inhibit cyst growth. Inhibition of cyst growth by CFTR blockers was correlated with inhibition of cAMP-stimulated Cl- current (correlation coefficient = 0.81; P < 0.05), but not cell proliferation (correlation coefficient = 0.50; P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that CFTR blockers might retard cyst growth predominantly by inhibiting fluid accumulation within the cyst lumen.

Abstract
Developmental control of cell proliferation is crucial, and abnormal principal cell proliferation may contribute to cystogenesis in polycystic kidney disease. This study investigates roles of cAMP and its primary effector, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A; PKA), in control of cell proliferation in filter-grown noncystic (NC) and cystic (CY)-derived principal cell cultures. These cultures had similar cAMP pathway characteristics upstream of PKA subunit distribution but differed in predicted PKA subtype distribution. Functionally, cultures were proliferative before polarization, with constitutively higher proliferation in CY cultures. NC cultures achieved levels similar to those of CY cultures on pharmacological manipulation of cAMP production or PKA activation or inhibition of PKA subtype I activity. Inhibition of overall PKA activity, or of PKA subtype II anchoring, diminished cAMP/PKA-mediated proliferation in NC cultures but had no effect on CY cultures. Polarized CY monolayers remained proliferative, but NC monolayers lost responsiveness. No large proliferation changes resulted from treatments of polarized cultures; however, polarized NC and CY cultures differed in poststimulation handling of PKA catalytic and type IIalpha regulatory subunits. Our results support PKA subtype regulation of prepolarization proliferation in NC principal cells and altered regulation of PKA in CY cells and suggest that differences at or downstream of PKA can contribute to altered proliferation in a developmental renal disease.

Abstract
Following an overview of the biochemistry of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, the relevance of these signaling events to specific models of renal cell function and pathophysiology, both in vitro and in vivo, will be emphasized. In in vitro model systems, events activating the principal MAPK families [extracellular signal-regulated and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase and p38] have been best characterized in mesangial and tubular epithelial cell culture systems and include peptide mitogens, cytokines, lipid mediators, and physical stressors. Several in vivo models of proliferative or toxic renal injury are also associated with aberrant MAPK regulation. It is anticipated that elucidation of downstream effector signaling mechanisms and a clearer understanding of the immediate and remote upstream activating pathways, when applied to these highly clinically relevant model systems, will ultimately provide much greater insight into the basis for specificity now seemingly absent from these signaling events.

Abstract
Both epithelial cell proliferation and fluid accumulation are responsible for cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It was previously reported that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is expressed in cysts from ADPKD patients and suggested that cAMP-stimulated Cl(-) and fluid secretion occurs through CFTR. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of cell proliferation in cyst formation in ADPKD and to explore further the role of fluid secretion in cyst growth. Primary cultures both of ADPKD epithelial cells and a mixed population of normal renal epithelial cells isolated from the cortex (HRCE cells) were used. This study tested whether cAMP was involved both in stimulating cell proliferation and formation of cysts in vitro. (3)H-Thymidine incorporation assays showed that epidermal growth factor stimulated proliferation both in ADPKD cells and HRCE cells. In addition, cAMP stimulated DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in ADPKD, but not HRCE, cells. The effects of cAMP and epidermal growth factor on cell growth in ADPKD cells were additive. cAMP also stimulated cyst enlargement and fluid secretion in ADPKD cells. By contrast, cyst formation and enlargement from HRCE cells occurred without cAMP. Fluid secretion into the cyst lumen was blocked by diphenylamine carboxylic acid (DPC) and glibenclamide in ADPKD cells but blocked only by DPC in HRCE cells. This study showed that ADPKD cells have unique characteristics; cAMP stimulates fluid secretion and cell proliferation, indicating cAMP plays a very important role in cyst growth during the course of ADPKD.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/FGF-2) play relevant roles in renal development. Since the signaling pathways modulating the mitogenic effects of Ang II and bFGF in human fetal mesangial cells (HFMc) are not clearly defined, we carried out experiments to determine whether they would exert their mitogenic effects by modulating the activity of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) [extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 (ERK-2)] and cAMP signaling pathways. In confluent HFMc, bFGF (20 ng/mL) induced a significant 4-fold increase in ERK-2 activity and [3H]-thymidine incorporation (6-fold). In contrast, under similar tissue culture conditions, Ang II (10(-6) M) induced a more modest increase in ERK-2 activity (2-fold) and [3H]-thymidine incorporation (35 +/- 4%). The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1 (MEK-1) inhibitor PD098059 (25 microM) almost completely abolished the bFGF-induced proliferation in HFMc but did not significantly affect Ang II proliferative effects. In the presence of the cAMP elevating agent isoproterenol, Ang II and bFGF induced opposite changes in cAMP accumulation and cell growth. Isoproterenol inhibited the basal and bFGF-induced proliferation of HFMc through a MEK-1/2-independent pathway that included the accumulation of cAMP. In contrast, isoproterenol increased Ang II mitogenic effects in correlation with a reduction in cAMP accumulation. We conclude that Ang II and bFGF modulate the proliferation of HFMc through the stimulation of different MEK-1/2-dependent and independent signaling pathways. Activation of MEK-1/2 is required but not sufficient for mitogenesis in HFMc. The accumulation of cAMP in HFMc counteracts the mitogenic effects of bFGF by a MEK-1/2-independent pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : Cellular proliferation is a key factor in the enlargement of renal cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We determined the extent to which adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) may regulate the in vitro proliferation of cyst epithelial cells derived from human ADPKD cysts. METHODS : Epithelial cells from cysts of individuals with ADPKD and from normal human kidney cortex (HKC) of individuals without ADPKD were cultured. The effects of agonists and inhibitors on the rate of cellular proliferation and the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) were determined. RESULTS : 8-Br-cAMP (100 micromol/L) stimulated the proliferation of cells from eight different ADPKD subjects to 99.0% above baseline; proliferation was inhibited by protein kinase A (PKA) antagonists H-89 (97%) and Rp-cAMP (90%). Forskolin (10 micromol/L), which activates adenylyl cyclase, increased proliferation 124%, and receptor-mediated agonists arginine vasopressin, desmopressin, secretin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and prostaglandin E2 stimulated proliferation 54.2, 56.3, 46.7, 37.1, and 48.3%, respectively. The mitogen extracellular kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 completely inhibited ADPKD cell proliferation in response to cAMP agonists, but genistein, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, did not block cAMP-dependent proliferation. cAMP agonists increased the activity of ERK above control levels within five minutes. In contrast to ADPKD, proliferation and ERK activity of cells derived from normal HKC were not stimulated by cAMP agonists, although electrogenic Cl- secretion was increased by these agonists in both ADPKD and HKC cell monolayers. CONCLUSIONS : We conclude that cAMP agonists stimulate the proliferation of ADPKD but not HKC epithelial cells through PKA activation of the ERK pathway at a locus distal to receptor tyrosine kinase. We suggest that the adenylyl cyclase signaling pathway may have a unique role in determining the rate of cyst enlargement in ADPKD through its actions to stimulate cellular proliferation and transepithelial solute and fluid secretion.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been shown to play an important role in transducing extracellular signals into cellular responses. The classic MAPK pathway is commonly activated by growth factors and has been shown to play a crucial role in cell proliferation. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-activating kinase-1 (TAK1) is a novel MAPK kinase kinase that is reported to stimulate the MKK6-p38K pathway. To elucidate the functional roles of the TAK1 pathway, we transfected its constitutive active form (TAKdN) and negative form (TAKK63W) to LLC-PK1 cells. TAKdN stimulated MKK6 phosphorylation and p38K activity and inhibited the percentages of the S and G2/M phases. TAKK63W, the constitutive negative form, reduced TGF-beta-stimulated MKK6 phosphorylation and p38K activity and increased the percentages of the S and G2/M phases. The cyclin D1 protein level is reduced by the TAK1 pathway. We also examined the effects of the TAK1 pathway on cyclin D1 promoter-luciferase assay. The overexpression of TAKdN or p38K inhibited cyclin D1 promoter activity. In contrast, overexpression of the active form of MKK1, the classic MAPK-activator, MKK1 increased cyclin D1 promoter activity and protein level, as well as the percentages of S and G2/M phases.

Abstract
We analyzed the expression and regulation of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 gelatinases in a rabbit kidney collecting duct principal cell line (RC.SVtsA58) (Prié, D., Ronco, P. M., Baudouin, B., Géniteau-Legendre, M., Antoine, M., Piedagnel, R., Estrade, S., Lelongt, B., Verroust, P. J., Cassingéna, R., and Vandewalle, A. (1991) J. Cell Biol. 113, 951-962) infected with the temperature-sensitive (ts) SV40 strain tsA58. At the permissive temperature (33 degreesC), cells produced only MMP2. Shifting cells to a nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degreesC) induced a marked increase in total gelatinolytic activity due to an increase of MMP2 and an induction of MMP9 synthesis. This effect was attributed to large-T inactivation at 39.5 degreesC because it was abolished by re-infecting the cells with wild-type SV40 strain LP. Run-on experiments showed that negative regulation of MMP2 and MMP9 by large-T was transcriptional and posttranscriptional, respectively. MMP2 and MMP9 were also produced by primary cultures of collecting duct cells. In rabbit kidney, both MMP2 and MMP9 were almost exclusively expressed in collecting duct cells, where an unexpected apical localization was observed. Arginine vasopressin and epidermal growth factor, which exert opposite hydroosmotic effects in the collecting duct, also exhibited contrasted effects on MMP9 synthesis. Epidermal growth factor increased but arginine vasopressin suppressed MMP9 at a posttranscriptional level, whereas MMP2 was not affected. These results suggest a specific physiological role of MMP2 and MMP9 in principal cells of renal collecting duct.
