Abstract
Frugivory evolved multiple times in mammals, including bats. However, the cellular and molecular components driving it remain largely unknown. Here, we use integrative single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq) on insectivorous (Eptesicus fuscus; big brown bat) and frugivorous (Artibeus jamaicensis; Jamaican fruit bat) bat kidneys and pancreases and identify key cell population, gene expression and regulatory differences associated with the Jamaican fruit bat that also relate to human disease, particularly diabetes. We find a decrease in loop of Henle and an increase in collecting duct cells, and differentially active genes and regulatory elements involved in fluid and electrolyte balance in the Jamaican fruit bat kidney. The Jamaican fruit bat pancreas shows an increase in endocrine and a decrease in exocrine cells, and differences in genes and regulatory elements involved in insulin regulation. We also find that these frugivorous bats share several molecular characteristics with human diabetes. Combined, our work provides insights from a frugivorous mammal that could be leveraged for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Membrane voltage controls the function of excitable cells and is mainly a consequence of the ratio between the extra- and intracellular potassium concentration. Potassium homeostasis is safeguarded by balancing the extra-/intracellular distribution and systemic elimination of potassium to the dietary potassium intake. These processes adjust the plasma potassium concentration between 3.5 and 4.5 mmol/L. Several genetic and acquired diseases but also pharmacological interventions cause dyskalemias that are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The thresholds at which serum K+ not only associates but also causes increased mortality are hotly debated. We discuss physiologic, pathophysiologic, and pharmacologic aspects of potassium regulation and provide informative case vignettes. Our aim is to help clinicians, epidemiologists, and pharmacologists to understand the complexity of the potassium homeostasis in health and disease and to initiate appropriate treatment strategies in dyskalemic patients.

Abstract
Consumption of salt (NaCl) and potassium (K+) has been completely modified, switching from a rich-K+/low-NaCl diet in the hunter-gatherer population to the opposite in the modern, westernized population. The ability to conserve K+ is crucial to maintain the plasma K+ concentration in a physiological range when dietary K+ intake is decreased. Moreover, a chronic reduction in the K+ intake is correlated with an increased blood pressure, an effect worsened by a high-Na+ diet. The renal adaptation to a low-K+ diet in order to maintain the plasma K+ level in the normal range is complex and interconnected with the mechanisms of the Na+ balance. In this short review, we will recapitulate the general mechanisms allowing the plasma K+ value to remain in the normal range, when there is a necessity to retain K+ (response to low-K+ diet and adaptation to gestation), by focusing on the processes occurring in the most distal part of the nephron. We will particularly outline the mechanisms of K+ reabsorption and discuss the consequences of its absence on the Na+ transport systems and the regulation of the extracellular compartment volume and blood pressure.

Abstract
Aldosterone exerts profound effects on renal and cardiovascular physiology. In the kidney, aldosterone acts to preserve electrolyte and acid-base balance in response to changes in dietary sodium (Na+ ) or potassium (K+ ) intake. These physiological actions, principally through activation of mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs), have important effects particularly in patients with renal and cardiovascular disease as demonstrated by multiple clinical trials. Multiple factors, be they genetic, humoral, dietary, or otherwise, can play a role in influencing the rate of aldosterone synthesis and secretion from the adrenal cortex. Normally, aldosterone secretion and action respond to dietary Na+ intake. In the kidney, the distal nephron and collecting duct are the main targets of aldosterone and MR action, which stimulates Na+ absorption in part via the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), the principal channel responsible for the fine-tuning of Na+ balance. Our understanding of the regulatory factors that allow aldosterone, via multiple signaling pathways, to function properly clearly implicates this hormone as central to many pathophysiological effects that become dysfunctional in disease states. Numerous pathologies that affect blood pressure (BP), electrolyte balance, and overall cardiovascular health are due to abnormal secretion of aldosterone, mutations in MR, ENaC, or effectors and modulators of their action. Study of the mechanisms of these pathologies has allowed researchers and clinicians to create novel dietary and pharmacological targets to improve human health. This article covers the regulation of aldosterone synthesis and secretion, receptors, effector molecules, and signaling pathways that modulate its action in the kidney. We also consider the role of aldosterone in disease and the benefit of mineralocorticoid antagonists. © 2023 American Physiological Society. Compr Physiol 13:4409-4491, 2023.

Abstract
Frugivory evolved multiple times in mammals, including bats. However, the cellular and molecular components driving it remain largely unknown. Here, we used integrative single-cell sequencing on insectivorous and frugivorous bat kidneys and pancreases and identified key cell population, gene expression and regulatory element differences associated with frugivorous adaptation that also relate to human disease, particularly diabetes. We found an increase in collecting duct cells and differentially active genes and regulatory elements involved in fluid and electrolyte balance in the frugivore kidney. In the frugivorous pancreas, we observed an increase in endocrine and a decrease in exocrine cells and differences in genes and regulatory elements involved in insulin regulation. Combined, our work provides novel insights into frugivorous adaptation that also could be leveraged for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
The mammalian distal nephron is a target of highly effective antihypertensive drugs. Genetic variants that alter its transport activity are also inherited causes of high or low blood pressure, clearly establishing its central role in human blood pressure regulation. Much has been learned during the past 25 years about salt transport along this nephron segment, spurred by the cloning of major transport proteins and the discovery of disease-causing genetic variants. Recognition is increasing that substantial cellular and segmental heterogeneity is present along this segment, with electroneutral sodium transport dominating more proximal segments and electrogenic sodium transport dominating more distal segments. Coupled with recent insights into factors that modulate transport along these segments, we now understand one important mechanism by which dietary potassium intake influences sodium excretion and blood pressure. This finding has solved the aldosterone paradox, by demonstrating how aldosterone can be both kaliuretic, when plasma potassium is elevated, and anti-natriuretic, when extracellular fluid volume is low. However, what also has become clear is that aldosterone itself only stimulates a portion of the mineralocorticoid receptors along this segment, with the others being activated by glucocorticoid hormones instead. These recent insights provide an increasingly clear picture of how this short nephron segment contributes to blood pressure homeostasis and have important implications for hypertension prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The seminal studies conducted by Giebisch and colleagues in the 1960s paved the way for understanding the renal mechanisms involved in K+ homeostasis. It was demonstrated that differential handling of K+ in the distal segments of the nephron is crucial for proper K+ balance. Although aldosterone had been classically ascribed as the major ion transport regulator in the distal nephron, thereby contributing to K+ homeostasis, it became clear that aldosterone per se could not explain the kidney's ability to modulate kaliuresis in both acute and chronic settings. The existence of alternative kaliuretic and antikaliuretic mechanisms was suggested by physiological studies in the 1980s but only gained form and shape with the advent of molecular biology. It is now established that the kidneys recruit several endocrine and paracrine mechanisms for adequate kaliuretic response. These mechanisms include the direct effects of peritubular K+, a gut-kidney regulatory axis sensing dietary K+ levels, the kidney secretion of kallikrein during postprandial periods, the upregulation of angiotensin II receptors in the distal nephron during chronic changes in the K+ diet, and the local increase of prostaglandins by low K+ diet. This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of endocrine and paracrine mechanisms underlying the modulation of K+ secretion and how these mechanisms impact kaliuresis and K+ balance. We also highlight important unknowns about the regulation of renal K+ excretion under physiological circumstances.

Abstract
The emergence of orientational order plays a central role in active matter theory and is deeply based in the study of active systems with a velocity alignment mechanism, whose most prominent example is the so-called Vicsek model. Such active systems have been used to describe bird flocks, bacterial swarms, and active colloidal systems, among many other examples. Under the assumption that the large-scale properties of these models remain unchanged as long as the polar symmetry of the interactions is not affected, implementations have been performed using, out of convenience, either additive or non-additive interactions; the latter are found for instance in the original formulation of the Vicsek model. Here, we perform a careful analysis of active systems with velocity alignment, comparing additive and non-additive interactions, and show that the macroscopic properties of these active systems are fundamentally different. Our results call into question our current understanding of the onset of order in active systems.

Abstract
This review addresses the physiological role of the kallikrein–kinin system in arteries, heart and kidney and the consequences of kallikrein and kinin actions in diseases affecting these organs, especially ischemic and diabetic diseases. Emphasis is put on pharmacological and genetic studies targeting kallikrein; ACE/kininase II; and the two kinin receptors, B1 (B1R) and B2 (B2R), distinguished through the work of Domenico Regoli and his collaborators. Potential therapeutic interest and limitations of the pharmacological manipulation of B1R or B2R activity in cardiovascular and renal diseases are discussed. This discussion addresses either the activation or inhibition of these receptors, based on recent clinical and experimental studies.

Abstract
Epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) blockers elicit acute and substantial increases of urinary pH. The underlying mechanism remains to be understood. Here, we evaluated if benzamil-induced urine alkalization is mediated by an acute reduction in H+ secretion via renal H+-K+-ATPases (HKAs). Experiments were performed in vivo on HKA double-knockout and wild-type mice. Alterations in dietary K+ intake were used to change renal HKA and ENaC activity. The acute effects of benzamil (0.2 µg/g body wt, sufficient to block ENaC) on urine flow rate and urinary electrolyte and acid excretion were monitored in anesthetized, bladder-catheterized animals. We observed that benzamil acutely increased urinary pH (ΔpH: 0.33 ± 0.07) and reduced NH4+ and titratable acid excretion and that these effects were distinctly enhanced in animals fed a low-K+ diet (ΔpH: 0.74 ± 0.12), a condition when ENaC activity is low. In contrast, benzamil did not affect urine acid excretion in animals kept on a high-K+ diet (i.e., during high ENaC activity). Thus, urine alkalization appeared completely uncoupled from ENaC function. The absence of benzamil-induced urinary alkalization in HKA double-knockout mice confirmed the direct involvement of these enzymes. The inhibitory effect of benzamil was also shown in vitro for the pig α1-isoform of HKA. These results suggest a revised explanation of the benzamil effect on renal acid-base excretion. Considering the conditions used here, we suggest that it is caused by a direct inhibition of HKAs in the collecting duct and not by inhibition of the ENaC function.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Bolus application of epithelial Na+ channel (EnaC) blockers causes marked and acute increases of urine pH. Here, we provide evidence that the underlying mechanism involves direct inhibition of the H+-K+ pump in the collecting duct. This could provide a fundamental revision of the previously assumed mechanism that suggested a key role of ENaC inhibition in this response.

Abstract
We investigated the regulation of Na+ and K+ excretion and the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in mice lacking the gene for aldosterone synthase (AS) using clearance methods to assess excretion and electrophysiology and Western blot analysis to test for ENaC activity and processing. After 1 day of dietary Na+ restriction, AS-/- mice lost more Na+ in the urine than AS+/+ mice did. After 1 wk on this diet, both genotypes strongly reduced urinary Na+ excretion, but creatinine clearance decreased only in AS-/- mice. Only AS+/+ animals exhibited increased ENaC function, assessed as amiloride-sensitive whole cell currents in collecting ducts or cleavage of αENaC and γENaC in Western blots. To assess the role of aldosterone in the excretion of a K+ load, animals were fasted overnight and refed with high-K+ or low-K+ diets for 5 h. Both AS+/+ and AS-/- mice excreted a large amount of K+ during this period. In both phenotypes the excretion was benzamil sensitive, indicating increased K+ secretion coupled to ENaC-dependent Na+ reabsorption. However, the increase in plasma K+ under these conditions was much larger in AS-/- animals than in AS+/+ animals. In both groups, cleavage of αENaC and γENaC increased. However, Na+ current measured ex vivo in connecting tubules was enhanced only in AS+/+ mice. We conclude that in the absence of aldosterone, mice can conserve Na+ without ENaC activation but at the expense of diminished glomerular filtration rate. Excretion of a K+ load can be accomplished through aldosterone-independent upregulation of ENaC, but aldosterone is required to excrete the excess K+ without hyperkalemia.

Abstract
Epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) are members of a family of cation channels that function as sensors of the extracellular environment. ENaCs are activated by specific proteases in the biosynthetic pathway and at the cell surface and remove embedded inhibitory tracts, which allows channels to transition to higher open-probability states. Resolved structures of ENaC and an acid-sensing ion channel revealed highly organized extracellular regions. Within the periphery of ENaC subunits are unique domains formed by antiparallel β-strands containing the inhibitory tracts and protease cleavage sites. ENaCs are inhibited by Na+ binding to specific extracellular site(s), which promotes channel transition to a lower open-probability state. Specific inositol phospholipids and channel modification by Cys-palmitoylation enhance channel open probability. How these regulatory factors interact in a concerted manner to influence channel open probability is an important question that has not been resolved. These various factors are reviewed, and the impact of specific factors on human disorders is discussed.

Abstract
Kallikrein-K1 is the main kinin-forming enzyme in organs in resting condition and in several pathological situations whereas angiotensin I-converting enzyme/kininase II (ACE) is the main kinin-inactivating enzyme in the circulation. Both ACE and K1 activity levels are genetic traits in man. Recent research based mainly on human genetic studies and study of genetically modified mice has documented the physiological role of K1 in the circulation, and also refined understanding of the role of ACE. Kallikrein-K1 is synthesized in arteries and involved in flow-induced vasodilatation. Endothelial ACE synthesis displays strong vessel and organ specificity modulating bioavailability of angiotensins and kinins locally. In pathological situations resulting from hemodynamic, ischemic, or metabolic insult to the cardiovascular system and the kidney K1 and kinins exert critical end-organ protective action and K1 deficiency results in severe worsening of the conditions, at least in the mouse. On the opposite, genetically high ACE level is associated with increased risk of developing ischemic and diabetic cardiac or renal diseases and worsened prognosis of these diseases. The association has been well-documented clinically while causality was established by ACE gene titration in mice. Studies suggest that reduced bioavailability of kinins is prominently involved in the detrimental effect of K1 deficiency or high ACE activity in diseases. Kinins are involved in the therapeutic effect of both ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II AT1 receptor blockers. Based on these findings, a new therapeutic hypothesis focused on selective pharmacological activation of kinin receptors has been launched. Proof of concept was obtained by using prototypic agonists in experimental ischemic and diabetic diseases in mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review describes recent findings regarding the epithelial Na channel (ENaC) and its roles in physiologic and pathophysiologic states. We discuss new insights regarding ENaC's structure, its regulation by various factors, its potential role in hypertension and nephrotic syndrome, and its roles in the immune system and vasculature. RECENT FINDINGS A recently resolved structure of ENaC provides clues regarding mechanisms of ENaC activation by proteases. The use of amiloride in nephrotic syndrome, and associated complications are discussed. ENaC is expressed in dendritic cells and contributes to immune system activation and increases in blood pressure in response to NaCl. ENaC is expressed in endothelial ENaC and has a role in regulating vascular tone. SUMMARY New findings have emerged regarding ENaC and its role in the kidney, immune system, and vasculature.

Abstract
We study a system of self-propelled disks that perform run-and-tumble motion, where particles can adopt more than one internal state. One of those internal states can be transmitted to other particle if the particle carrying this state maintains physical contact with another particle for a finite period of time. We refer to this process as a reaction process and to the different internal states as particle species, making an analogy to chemical reactions. The studied system may fall into an absorbing phase, where due to the disappearance of one of the particle species no further reaction can occur, or may remain in an active phase where particles constantly react. By combining individual-based simulations and mean-field arguments, we study the dependency of the equilibrium densities of particle species on motility parameters, specifically the active speed v0 and tumbling frequency λ. We find that the equilibrium densities of particle species exhibit two very distinct, non-trivial scaling regimes, with v0 and λ depending on whether the system is in the so-called ballistic or diffusive regime. Our mean-field estimates lead to an effective renormalization of reaction rates that allow building the phase-diagram v0-λ that separates the absorbing and active phases. We find an excellent agreement between numerical simulations and mean-field estimates. This study is a necessary step towards an understanding of phase transitions into absorbing states in active systems and sheds light on the spreading of information/signaling among moving elements.

Abstract
The processes involved in the initiation of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are thought to occur during the intraoperative period. Such a rapid development might indicate that some of the inductive events are not dependent on de novo protein synthesis, raising the possibility that changes in activities of pre-existing enzymes could contribute to the development of AKI. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) was used to compare the serine hydrolase enzyme activities present in the urines of CPB patients who subsequently developed AKI versus those who did not (non-AKI) during the intra- and immediate postoperative periods. Sequential urines collected from a nested case-control cohort of AKI and non-AKI patients were reacted with a serine hydrolase activity probe, fluorophosphonate-TAMRA, and separated by SDS-PAGE. The patterns and levels of probe-labeled proteins in the two groups were initially comparable. However, within 1 h of CPB there were significant pattern changes in the AKI group. Affinity purification and mass spectrometry-based analysis of probe-labeled enzymes in AKI urines at 1 h CPB and arrival to the intensive care unit (ICU) identified 28 enzymes. Quantitative analysis of the activity of one of the identified enzymes, kallikrein-1, revealed some trends suggesting differences in the levels and temporal patterns of enzyme activity between a subset of patients who developed AKI and those who did not. A comparative analysis of affinity-purified probe reacted urinary proteins from these patient groups during the intraoperative period suggested the presence of both shared and unique enzyme patterns. These results indicate that there are intraoperative changes in the levels and types of serine hydrolase activities in patients who subsequently develop AKI. However, the role of these activity differences in the development of AKI remains to be determined.

Abstract
Background Pendrin, the chloride/bicarbonate exchanger of β-intercalated cells of the renal connecting tubule and the collecting duct, plays a key role in NaCl reabsorption by the distal nephron. Therefore, pendrin may be important for the control of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. Methods Here, we have used a genetic mouse model in which the expression of pendrin can be switched-on in vivo by the administration of doxycycline. Pendrin can also be rapidly removed when doxycycline administration is discontinued. Therefore, our genetic strategy allows us to test selectively the acute effects of loss of pendrin function. Results We show that acute loss of pendrin leads to a significant decrease of blood pressure. In addition, acute ablation of pendrin did not alter significantly the acid-base status or blood K + concentration. Conclusion By using a transgenic mouse model, avoiding off-target effects related to pharmacological compounds, this study suggests that pendrin could be a novel target to treat hypertension.

Abstract
Epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) are members of the ENaC/degenerin family of ion channels that evolved to respond to extracellular factors. In addition to being expressed in the distal aspects of the nephron, where ENaCs couple the absorption of filtered Na+ to K+ secretion, these channels are found in other epithelia as well as nonepithelial tissues. This review addresses mechanisms by which ENaC activity is regulated by extracellular factors, including proteases, Na+, and shear stress. It also addresses other factors, including acidic phospholipids and modification of ENaC cytoplasmic cysteine residues by palmitoylation, which enhance channel activity by altering interactions of the channel with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
In addition to the classic and well-established "feedback control" of potassium balance, increasing investigative attention has focused on a novel and not widely recognized complementary regulatory paradigm for maintaining potassium homeostasis-the "feed-forward control" of potassium balance. This regulatory mechanism, initially defined in rumen, has recently been validated in normal human subjects. Studies are being conducted to determine the location for this putative potassium sensor and to evaluate potential signals, which might increase renal potassium excretion. Awareness of this more updated integrative control mechanism for potassium homeostasis is ever more relevant today, when the medical community is increasingly focused on the challenges of managing the hyperkalemia provoked by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis). Recent studies have demonstrated a wide gap between RAASi prescribing guidelines and real-world experience and have highlighted that this gap is thought to be attributable in great part to hyperkalemia. Consequently we require a greater knowledge of the complexities of the regulatory mechanisms subserving potassium homeostasis. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate has long been the mainstay for treating hyperkalemia, but its administration is fraught with challenges related to patient discomfort and colonic necrosis. The current and imminent availability of newer potassium binders with better tolerability and more predictive dose-response potassium removal should enhance the management of hyperkalemia. Consequently it is essential to better understand the intricacies of mammalian colonic K+ handling. We discuss colonic transport of K+ and review evidence for potassium (BK) channels being responsible for increased stool K+ in patients with diseases such as ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Integrated mechanisms controlling the maintenance of potassium homeostasis are well established and are defined by the classic "feedback control" of potassium balance. Recently, increasing investigative attention has focused on novel physiological paradigms that increase the complexity and precision of homeostasis. This review briefly considers the classic and well-established feedback control of potassium and then considers subsequent investigations that inform on an intriguing and not widely recognized complementary paradigm: the "feed-forward control of potassium balance." Feed-forward control refers to a pathway in a homeostatic system that responds to a signal in the environment in a predetermined manner, without responding to how the system subsequently reacts (i.e., without responding to feedback). Studies in several animal species, and recently in humans, have confirmed the presence of a feed-forward control mechanism that is capable of mediating potassium excretion independent of changes in serum potassium concentration and aldosterone. Knowledge imparted by this update of potassium homeostasis hopefully will facilitate the clinical management of hyperkalemia in patients with chronic and recurrent hyperkalemia. Awareness of this updated integrative control mechanism for potassium homeostasis is more relevant today when the medical community is increasingly focused on leveraging and expanding established renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor treatment regimens and on successfully coping with the challenges of managing hyperkalemia provoked by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. These new insights are relevant to the future design of clinical trials delineating renal potassium handling.

Abstract
The renal handling of Na+ balance is a major determinant of the blood pressure (BP) level. The inability of the kidney to excrete the daily load of Na+ represents the primary cause of chronic hypertension. Among the different segments that constitute the nephron, those present in the distal part (i.e., the cortical thick ascending limb, the distal convoluted tubule, the connecting and collecting tubules) play a central role in the fine-tuning of renal Na+ excretion and are the target of many different regulatory processes that modulate Na+ retention more or less efficiently. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucially involved in this regulation and could represent efficient pharmacological targets to control BP levels. In this review, we describe both classical and novel GPCR-dependent regulatory systems that have been shown to modulate renal Na+ absorption in the distal nephron. In addition to the multiplicity of the GPCR that regulate Na+ excretion, this review also highlights the complexity of these different pathways, and the connections between them.

Abstract
The kidney continuously adapts daily renal excretion of NaCl to match dietary intakes in order to maintain the NaCl content of the body, and keep vascular volume constant. Any situation that leads to NaCl retention favors a rise in blood pressure. The aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron, which contains two main types of cells, principal (PC) and intercalated (IC) cells, is an important site for the final regulation of urinary Na(+) excretion. Research over the past 20 years established a paradigm in which PCs are the exclusive site of Na(+) absorption while ICs are solely dedicated to acid-base transport. Recent studies have revealed the unexpected importance of ICs for NaCl reabsorption. Here, we review the mechanisms of Na(+) and Cl(-) transport in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron, with emphasis on the role of ICs in maintaining NaCl balance and normal blood pressure.

Abstract
Dietary potassium (K(+)) intake has antihypertensive effects, prevents strokes, and improves cardiovascular outcomes. The underlying mechanism for these beneficial effects of high K(+) diets may include vasodilation, enhanced urine flow, reduced renal renin release, and negative sodium (Na(+)) balance. Indeed, several studies demonstrate that dietary K(+) intake induces renal Na(+) loss despite elevated plasma aldosterone. This review briefly highlights the epidemiological and experimental evidences for the effects of dietary K(+) on arterial blood pressure. It discusses the pivotal role of the renal distal tubule for the regulation of urinary K(+) and Na(+) excretion and blood pressure and highlights that it depends on the coordinated interaction of different nephron portions, epithelial cell types, and various ion channels, transporters, and ATPases. Moreover, we discuss the relevance of aldosterone and aldosterone-independent factors in mediating the effects of an altered K(+) intake on renal K(+) and Na(+) handling. Particular focus is given to findings suggesting that an aldosterone-independent downregulation of the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter significantly contributes to the natriuretic and antihypertensive effect of a K(+)-rich diet. Last but not least, we refer to the complex signaling pathways enabling the kidney to adapt its function to the homeostatic needs in response to an altered K(+) intake. Future work will have to further address the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism and to elucidate, among others, how an altered dietary K(+) intake is sensed and how this signal is transmitted to the different epithelial cells lining the distal tubule.

Abstract
Serine proteases, both soluble and cell-attached, can activate the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) proteolytically through release of a putative 43-mer inhibitory tract from the ectodomain of the γ-subunit. ENaC controls renal Na(+) excretion and loss-of-function mutations lead to low blood pressure, while gain-of-function mutations lead to impaired Na(+) excretion, hypertension, and hypokalemia. We review an emerging pathophysiological concept that aberrant glomerular filtration of plasma proteases, e.g., plasmin, prostasin, and kallikrein, contributes to proteolytic activation of ENaC, both in acute conditions with proteinuria, like nephrotic syndrome and preeclampsia, and in chronic diseases, such as diabetes with microalbuminuria. A vast literature on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and volume homeostasis from the last four decades show a number of common characteristics for conditions with albuminuria compatible with impaired renal Na(+) excretion: hypertension and volume retention is secondary to proteinuria in, e.g., preeclampsia and nephrotic syndrome; plasma concentrations of renin, angiotensin II, and aldosterone are frequently suppressed in proteinuric conditions, e.g., preeclampsia and diabetic nephropathy; blood pressure is salt-sensitive in conditions with microalbuminuria/proteinuria; and extracellular volume is expanded, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentration is increased, and diuretics, like amiloride and spironolactone, are effective blood pressure-reducing add-ons. Active plasmin in urine has been demonstrated in diabetes, preeclampsia, and nephrosis. Urine from these patients activates, plasmin-dependently, amiloride-sensitive inward current in vitro. The concept predicts that patients with albuminuria may benefit particularly from reduced salt intake with RAS blockers; that distally acting diuretics, in particular amiloride, are warranted in low-renin/albuminuric conditions; and that urine serine proteases and their activators may be pharmacological targets.

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.

Extracellular K(+) homeostasis has been explained by feedback mechanisms in which changes in extracellular K(+) concentration drive renal K(+) excretion directly or indirectly via stimulating aldosterone secretion. However, this cannot explain meal-induced kaliuresis, which often occurs without increases in plasma K(+) or aldosterone concentrations. Recent studies have produced evidence supporting a feedforward control in which gut sensing of dietary K(+) increases renal K(+) excretion (and extrarenal K(+) uptake) independent of plasma K(+) concentrations, namely, a gut factor. This review focuses on these new findings and discusses the role of gut factor in acute and chronic regulation of extracellular K(+) as well as in the beneficial effects of high K(+) intake on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
H-K-ATPase type 2 (HKA2), also known as the "nongastric" or "colonic" H-K-ATPase, is broadly expressed, and its presence in the kidney has puzzled experts in the field of renal ion transport systems for many years. One of the most important and robust characteristics of this transporter is that it is strongly stimulated after dietary K(+) restriction. This result prompted many investigators to propose that it should play a role in allowing the kidney to efficiently retain K(+) under K(+) depletion. However, the apparent absence of a clear renal phenotype in HKA2-null mice has led to the idea that this transporter is an epiphenomenon. This review summarizes past and recent findings regarding the functional, structural and physiological characteristics of H-K-ATPase type 2. The findings discussed in this review suggest that, as in the famous story, the ugly duckling of the X-K-ATPase family is actually a swan.

Abstract
Tissue kallikrein is a serine proteinase that cleaves low molecular weight kininogen to produce kinin peptides, which in turn activate kinin receptors to trigger multiple biological functions. In addition to its kinin-releasing activity, tissue kallikrein directly interacts with the kinin B2 receptor, protease-activated receptor-1, and gamma-epithelial Na channel. The tissue kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) elicits a wide spectrum of biological activities, including reducing hypertension, cardiac and renal damage, restenosis, ischemic stroke, and skin wound injury. Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function studies have shown that the KKS plays an important endogenous role in the protection against health pathologies. Tissue kallikrein/kinin treatment attenuates cardiovascular, renal, and brain injury by inhibiting oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, hypertrophy, and fibrosis and promoting angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Approaches that augment tissue kallikrein-kinin activity might provide an effective strategy for the treatment of hypertension and associated organ damage.

Abstract
The nature of the interactions among self-propelled agents (SPA), i.e., topological versus metric or a combination of both types, is a relevant open question in the field of self-organization phenomena. We studied the critical behavior of a Vicsek-like system of SPA given by a group of agents moving at constant speed and interacting among themselves under the action of a topological rule: each agent aligns itself with the average direction of its seven nearest neighbors, independent of the distance, under the influence of some noise. Based on both stationary and dynamic measurements, we provide strong evidence that both types of interactions are manifestations of the same phenomenon, which defines a robust universality class. Also, the cluster size distribution evaluated at the critical point shows a power-law behavior, and the exponent corresponding to the topological model is in excellent agreement with that of the metric one, further reinforcing our claim. Furthermore, we found that with topological interactions the average distance of influence between agents undergoes large fluctuations that diverge at the critical noise, thus providing clues about a mechanism that could be implemented by the agents to change their moving strategy.

Abstract
Genetic manipulation of the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) in mice, with either gain or loss of function, and study of human genetic variability in KKS components which has been well documented at the phenotypic and genomic level, have allowed recognizing the physiological role of KKS in health and in disease. This role has been especially documented in the cardiovascular system and the kidney. Kinins are produced at slow rate in most organs in resting condition and/or inactivated quickly. Yet the KKS is involved in arterial function and in renal tubular function. In several pathological situations, kinin production increases, kinin receptor synthesis is upregulated, and kinins play an important role, whether beneficial or detrimental, in disease outcome. In the setting of ischemic, diabetic or hemodynamic aggression, kinin release by tissue kallikrein protects against organ damage, through B2 and/or B1 bradykinin receptor activation, depending on organ and disease. This has been well documented for the ischemic or diabetic heart, kidney and skeletal muscle, where KKS activity reduces oxidative stress, limits necrosis or fibrosis and promotes angiogenesis. On the other hand, in some pathological situations where plasma prekallikrein is inappropriately activated, excess kinin release in local or systemic circulation is detrimental, through oedema or hypotension. Putative therapeutic application of these clinical and experimental findings through current pharmacological development is discussed in the chapter.

Abstract
A large variety of antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, diuretics, and others, are prescribed to hypertensive patients, with good control of the condition. In addition, all individuals are generally believed to be salt sensitive and, thus, severe restriction of salt intake is recommended to all. Nevertheless, the physiological defense mechanisms in the kidney against excess salt intake have not been well clarified. The present review article demonstrated that the renal (tissue) kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is ideally situated within the nephrons of the kidney, where it functions to inhibit the reabsorption of NaCl through the activation of bradykinin (BK)-B2 receptors localized along the epithelial cells of the collecting ducts (CD). Kinins generated in the CD are immediately inactivated by two kidney-specific kinin-inactivating enzymes (kininases), carboxypeptidase Y-like exopeptidase (CPY), and neutral endopeptidase (NEP). Our work demonstrated that ebelactone B and poststatin are selective inhibitors of these kininases. The reduced secretion of the urinary kallikrein is linked to the development of salt-sensitive hypertension, whereas potassium ions and ATP-sensitive potassium channel blockers ameliorate salt-sensitive hypertension by accelerating the release of renal kallikrein. On the other hand, ebelactone B and poststatin prolong the life of kinins in the CD after excess salt intake, thereby leading to the augmentation of natriuresis and diuresis, and the ensuing suppression of salt-sensitive hypertension. In conclusion, accelerators of the renal kallikrein release and selective renal kininase inhibitors are both novel types of antihypertensive agents that may be useful for treatment of salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
Background Serine hydrolases constitute a large enzyme family involved in a diversity of proteolytic and metabolic processes which are essential for many aspects of normal physiology. The roles of serine hydrolases in renal function are largely unknown and monitoring their activity may provide important insights into renal physiology. The goal of this study was to profile urinary serine hydrolases with activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) and to perform an in-depth compositional analysis. Methods Eighteen healthy individuals provided random, mid-stream urine samples. ABPP was performed by reacting urines (n = 18) with a rhodamine-tagged fluorophosphonate probe and visualizing on SDS-PAGE. Active serine hydrolases were isolated with affinity purification and identified on MS-MS. Enzyme activity was confirmed with substrate specific assays. A complementary 2D LC/MS-MS analysis was performed to evaluate the composition of serine hydrolases in urine. Results Enzyme activity was closely, but not exclusively, correlated with protein quantity. Affinity purification and MS/MS identified 13 active serine hydrolases. The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and calcium channel (TRPV5) regulators, tissue kallikrein and plasmin were identified in active forms, suggesting a potential role in regulating sodium and calcium reabsorption in a healthy human model. Complement C1r subcomponent-like protein, mannan binding lectin serine protease 2 and myeloblastin (proteinase 3) were also identified in active forms. The in-depth compositional analysis identified 62 serine hydrolases in urine independent of activity state. Conclusions This study identified luminal regulators of electrolyte homeostasis in an active state in the urine, which suggests tissue kallikrein and plasmin may be functionally relevant in healthy individuals. Additional serine hydrolases were identified in an active form that may contribute to regulating innate immunity of the urinary tract. Finally, the optimized ABPP technique in urine demonstrates its feasibility, reproducibility and potential applicability to profiling urinary enzyme activity in different renal physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
The uriniferous tubule is divided into the proximal tubule, the intermediate (thin) tubule, the distal tubule and the collecting duct. The present chapter is based on the chapters by Maunsbach and Christensen on the proximal tubule, and by Kaissling and Kriz on the distal tubule and collecting duct in the 1992 edition of the Handbook of Physiology, Renal Physiology. It describes the fine structure (light and electron microscopy) of the entire mammalian uriniferous tubule, mainly in rats, mice, and rabbits. The structural data are complemented by recent data on the location of the major transport- and transport-regulating proteins, revealed by morphological means(immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and/or mRNA in situ hybridization). The structural differences along the uriniferous tubule strictly coincide with the distribution of the major luminal and basolateral transport proteins and receptors and both together provide the basis for the subdivision of the uriniferous tubule into functional subunits. Data on structural adaptation to defined functional changes in vivo and to genetical alterations of specified proteins involved in transepithelial transport importantly deepen our comprehension of the correlation of structure and function in the kidney, of the role of each segment or cell type in the overall renal function,and our understanding of renal pathophysiology.

Abstract
Inactivation of the B1 proton pump subunit (ATP6V1B1) in intercalated cells (ICs) leads to type I distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a disease associated with salt- and potassium-losing nephropathy. Here we show that mice deficient in ATP6V1B1 (Atp6v1b1-/- mice) displayed renal loss of NaCl, K+, and water, causing hypovolemia, hypokalemia, and polyuria. We demonstrated that NaCl loss originated from the cortical collecting duct, where activity of both the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the pendrin/Na(+)-driven chloride/bicarbonate exchanger (pendrin/NDCBE) transport system was impaired. ENaC was appropriately increased in the medullary collecting duct, suggesting a localized inhibition in the cortex. We detected high urinary prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and ATP levels in Atp6v1b1-/- mice. Inhibition of PGE2 synthesis in vivo restored ENaC protein levels specifically in the cortex. It also normalized protein levels of the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel and the water channel aquaporin 2, and improved polyuria and hypokalemia in mutant mice. Furthermore, pharmacological inactivation of the proton pump in β-ICs induced release of PGE2 through activation of calcium-coupled purinergic receptors. In the present study, we identified ATP-triggered PGE2 paracrine signaling originating from β-ICs as a mechanism in the development of the hydroelectrolytic imbalance associated with dRTA. Our data indicate that in addition to principal cells, ICs are also critical in maintaining sodium balance and, hence, normal vascular volume and blood pressure.

Abstract
Inactivation of the tissue kallikrein gene in mice impairs renal handling of potassium due to enhanced H, K-ATPase activity, and induces hyperkalemia. We investigated whether the R53H loss-of-function polymorphism of the human tissue kallikrein gene affects renal potassium handling. In a crossover study, 30 R53R homozygous and 10 R53H heterozygous healthy males were randomly assigned to a low-sodium/high-potassium or a high-sodium/low-potassium diet to modulate tissue kallikrein synthesis. On the seventh day of each diet, participants were studied before and during a 2-h infusion of furosemide to stimulate distal potassium secretion. Urinary kallikrein activity was significantly lower in R53H than in R53R subjects on the low-sodium/high-potassium diet and was similarly reduced in both genotypes on high-sodium/low-potassium. Plasma potassium and renal potassium reabsorption were similar in both genotypes on an ad libitum sodium/potassium diet or after 7 days of a high-sodium/low-potassium diet. However, the median plasma potassium was significantly higher after 7 days of low-sodium/high-potassium diet in R53H than in R53R individuals. Urine potassium excretion and plasma aldosterone concentrations were similar. On the low-sodium/high-potassium diet, furosemide-induced decrease in plasma potassium was significantly larger in R53H than in R53R subjects. Thus, impaired tissue kallikrein stimulation by a low-sodium/high-potassium diet in R53H subjects with partial tissue kallikrein deficiency highlights an inappropriate renal adaptation to potassium load, consistent with experimental data in mice.

Abstract
We study the effect of spatial heterogeneity on the collective motion of self-propelled particles (SPPs). The heterogeneity is modeled as a random distribution of either static or diffusive obstacles, which the SPPs avoid while trying to align their movements. We find that such obstacles have a dramatic effect on the collective dynamics of usual SPP models. In particular, we report about the existence of an optimal (angular) noise amplitude that maximizes collective motion. We also show that while at low obstacle densities the system exhibits long-range order, in strongly heterogeneous media collective motion is quasi-long-range and exists only for noise values in between two critical values, with the system being disordered at both large and low noise amplitudes. Since most real systems have spatial heterogeneities, the finding of an optimal noise intensity has immediate practical and fundamental implications for the design and evolution of collective motion strategies.

Abstract
Study of mice rendered deficient in tissue kallikrein (TK) by gene inactivation and human subjects partially deficient in TK activity as consequence of an active site mutation has allowed recognising the physiological role of TK and its peptide products kinins in arterial function and in vasodilatation, in both species. TK appears as the major kinin forming enzyme in arteries, heart and kidney. Non-kinin mediated actions of TK may occur in epithelial cells in the renal tubule. In basal condition, TK deficiency induces mild defective phenotypes in the cardiovascular system and the kidney. However, in pathological situations where TK synthesis is typically increased and kinins are produced, TK deficiency has major, deleterious consequences. This has been well documented experimentally for cardiac ischaemia, diabetes renal disease, peripheral ischaemia and aldosterone-salt induced hypertension. These conditions are all aggravated by TK deficiency. The beneficial effect of ACE/kininase II inhibitors or angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonists in cardiac ischaemia is abolished in TK-deficient mice, suggesting a prominent role for TK and kinins in the cardioprotective action of these drugs. Based on findings made in TK-deficient mice and additional evidence obtained by pharmacological or genetic inactivation of kinin receptors, development of novel therapeutic approaches relying on kinin receptor agonism may be warranted.

Abstract
The albumin overload model induces proteinuria and tubulointersitial damage, followed by hypertension when rats are exposed to a hypersodic diet. To understand the effect of kinin system stimulation on salt-sensitive hypertension and to explore its potential renoprotective effects, the model was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats that had previously received a high-potassium diet to enhance activity of the kinin pathway, followed with/without administration of icatibant to block the kinin B₂ receptor (B₂R). A disease control group received albumin but not potassium or icatibant, and all groups were exposed to a hypersodic diet to induce salt-sensitive hypertension. Potassium treatment increased the synthesis and excretion of tissue kallikrein (Klk1/rKLK1) accompanied by a significant reduction in blood pressure and renal fibrosis and with downregulation of renal transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) mRNA and protein compared with rats that did not receive potassium. Participation of the B₂R was evidenced by the fact that all beneficial effects were lost in the presence of the B₂R antagonist. In vitro experiments using the HK-2 proximal tubule cell line showed that treatment of tubular cells with 10 nM bradykinin reduced the epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation and albumin-induced production of TGF-β, and the effects produced by bradykinin were prevented by pretreatment with the B₂R antagonist. These experiments support not only the pathogenic role of the kinin pathway in salt sensitivity but also sustain its role as a renoprotective, antifibrotic paracrine system that modulates renal levels of TGF-β.

Abstract
Hypokalemia is common and can be associated with serious adverse consequences, including paralysis, ileus, cardiac arrhythmias, and death. As a result, the body maintains serum potassium concentration within very narrow limits by tightly regulated feedback and feed-forward systems. Whereas the consequences of symptomatic hypokalemia and severe potassium depletion are well appreciated, chronic mild hypokalemia can accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease, exacerbate systemic hypertension, and increase mortality. Persistent hypokalemia may reflect total-body potassium depletion or increased renal potassium clearance. In a patient with simple potassium depletion, potassium replacement therapy should correct serum potassium concentration, but may have little effect when renal potassium clearance is abnormally increased from potassium wasting. In such cases, the addition of potassium-sparing diuretics might be helpful. Serum potassium concentration is an inaccurate marker of total-body potassium deficit. Mild hypokalemia may be associated with significant total-body potassium deficits and conversely, total-body potassium stores can be normal in patients with hypokalemia due to redistribution. The speed and extent of potassium replacement should be dictated by the clinical picture and guided by frequent reassessment of serum potassium concentration(.) The goals of therapy should be to correct a potassium deficit, if present, without provoking hyperkalemia. Oral replacement is preferred except when there is no functioning bowel or in the setting of electrocardiogram changes, neurologic symptoms, cardiac ischemia, or digitalis therapy.

Abstract
Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) constitute a family of 15 serine proteases. Recent studies have shed light on key physiological functions of KLK enzymes and implicate their deregulation in major human pathologies such as neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases, skin conditions, asthma, and cancer. Consequently, KLKs have emerged as novel targets for pharmacological intervention. Given the pleiotropic roles of KLKs, both activators and inhibitors of KLK activities are of therapeutic interest. For example, inhibitors of hyperactive KLKs in the epidermis would be effective against excess skin desquamation and inflammation, whereas KLK activators could benefit hyperkeratosis caused by diminished KLK proteolysis. Expression of active KLKs by cancer cells and tissues can be exploited to target prodrugs that are proteolytically cleaved to release a cytotoxic compound or a cytolytic toxin at the site of KLK protease activity. Here, we review current approaches for the design and testing of KLK-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Epithelial Na Channels (ENaC) are responsible for the apical entry of Na(+) in a number of different epithelia including the renal connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct. Proteolytic cleavage of γ-ENaC by serine proteases, including trypsin, furin, elastase, and prostasin, has been shown to increase channel activity. Here, we investigate the ability of another serine protease, tissue kallikrein, to regulate ENaC. We show that excretion of tissue kallikrein, which is secreted into the lumen of the connecting tubule, is stimulated following 5 days of a high-K(+) or low-Na(+) diet in rats. Urinary proteins reconstituted in a low-Na buffer activated amiloride-sensitive currents (I(Na)) in ENaC-expressing oocytes, suggesting an endogenous urinary protease can activate ENaC. We next tested whether tissue kallikrein can directly cleave and activate ENaC. When rat ENaC-expressing oocytes were exposed to purified tissue kallikrein from rat urine (RTK), ENaC currents increased threefold in both the presence and absence of a soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI). RTK and trypsin both decreased the apparent molecular mass of cleaved cell-surface γ-ENaC, while immunodepleted RTK produced no shift in apparent molecular mass, demonstrating the specificity of the tissue kallikrein. A decreased effect of RTK on Xenopus ENaC, which has variations in the putative prostasin cleavage sites in γ-ENaC, suggests these sites are important in RTK activation of ENaC. Mutating the prostasin site in mouse γ-ENaC (γRKRK186QQQQ) abolished ENaC activation and cleavage by RTK while wild-type mouse ENaC was activated and cleaved similar to that of the rat. We conclude that tissue kallikrein can be a physiologically relevant regulator of ENaC activity.

Abstract
The central goal of this overview article is to summarize recent findings in renal epithelial transport,focusing chiefly on the connecting tubule (CNT) and the cortical collecting duct (CCD).Mammalian CCD and CNT are involved in fine-tuning of electrolyte and fluid balance through reabsorption and secretion. Specific transporters and channels mediate vectorial movements of water and solutes in these segments. Although only a small percent of the glomerular filtrate reaches the CNT and CCD, these segments are critical for water and electrolyte homeostasis since several hormones, for example, aldosterone and arginine vasopressin, exert their main effects in these nephron sites. Importantly, hormones regulate the function of the entire nephron and kidney by affecting channels and transporters in the CNT and CCD. Knowledge about the physiological and pathophysiological regulation of transport in the CNT and CCD and particular roles of specific channels/transporters has increased tremendously over the last two decades.Recent studies shed new light on several key questions concerning the regulation of renal transport.Precise distribution patterns of transport proteins in the CCD and CNT will be reviewed, and their physiological roles and mechanisms mediating ion transport in these segments will also be covered. Special emphasis will be given to pathophysiological conditions appearing as a result of abnormalities in renal transport in the CNT and CCD.

Abstract
Maintenance by the kidney of stable plasma K(+) values is crucial, as plasma K(+) controls muscle and nerve activity. Since renal K(+) excretion is regulated by the circadian clock, we aimed to identify the ion transporters involved in this process. In control mice, the renal mRNA expression of H,K-ATPase type 2 (HKA2) is 25% higher during rest compared to the activity period. Conversely, under dietary K(+) restriction, HKA2 expression is ∼40% higher during the activity period. This reversal suggests that HKA2 contributes to the circadian regulation of K(+) homeostasis. Compared to their wild-type (WT) littermates, HKA2-null mice fed a normal diet have 2-fold higher K(+) renal excretion during rest. Under K(+) restriction, their urinary K(+) loss is 40% higher during the activity period. This inability to excrete K(+) "on time" is reflected in plasma K(+) values, which vary by 12% between activity and rest periods in HKA2-null mice but remain stable in WT mice. Analysis of the circadian expression of HKA2 regulators suggests that Nrf2, but not progesterone, contributes to its rhythmicity. Therefore, HKA2 acts to maintain the circadian rhythm of urinary K(+) excretion and preserve stable plasma K(+) values throughout the day.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Activation of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by proteolysis appears to be relevant for day-to-day physiological regulation of channel activity in kidney and other epithelial tissues. Pathophysiogical, proteolytic activation of ENaC in kidney has been demonstrated in proteinuric disease. RECENT FINDINGS A variation in sodium and potassium intake or plasma aldosterone changes the number of cleaved α and γ-ENaC subunits and is associated with changes in ENaC currents. The protease furin mediates intracellular cleavage, whereas the channel-activating protease prostasin (CAP-1), which is glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored to the apical cell surface, mediates important extracellular cleavage. Soluble protease activity is very low in urine under physiological conditions but rises in proteinuria. In nephrotic syndrome, the dominant soluble protease activity is plasmin, which is formed from filtered plasminogen via urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Plasmin activates ENaC directly at high concentrations and through prostasin at lower concentrations. SUMMARY The discovery of serine protease-mediated activation of renal ENaC in physiological and pathophysiological conditions opens the way for new understanding of the pathogenesis of proteinuric sodium retention, which may involve plasmin and present several potential new drug targets.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent studies have provided compelling evidence that tissue kallikrein exerts kinin-independent effects on several renal transporters including the epithelial Na⁺ channel (ENaC), the epithelial calcium channel TRPV5 (transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subtype 5), and the colonic H⁺,K⁺-ATPase. This review focuses on the role of tissue kallikrein in the regulation of renal sodium and potassium handling. RECENT FINDINGS Tissue kallikrein is a serine protease involved in the generation of kinins in many organs including the kidney, and most of the renal tissue kallikrein function involves its ability to generate kinins. Tissue kallikrein, through its catalytic activity, acts directly on ENaC in order to modulate its activity but is not critical for the regulation of renal sodium homeostasis. Tissue kallikrein deficient mice exhibit net transepithelial K⁺ absorption in cortical collecting ducts because of abnormal activation of the colonic H⁺,K⁺-ATPase in intercalated cells and reduced K⁺ secretion by principal cells secondary to decreased ENaC activity. Tissue kallikrein is a kaliuretic factor that provides a rapid and aldosterone-independent protection against hyperkalemia after a dietary K⁺load. SUMMARY Tissue kallikrein produced by connecting tubule cells regulates apical transporters by acting from the tubular lumen. Studies have demonstrated the existence of autocrine/paracrine regulatory mechanisms of K⁺ transport in the distal nephron.

Abstract
The distal nephron plays a critical role in the renal control of homeostasis. Until very recently most studies focused on the control of Na(+), K(+), and water balance by principal cells of the collecting duct and the regulation of solute and water by hormones from the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and by antidiuretic hormone. However, recent studies have revealed the unexpected importance of renal intercalated cells, a subtype of cells present in the connecting tubule and collecting ducts. Such cells were thought initially to be involved exclusively in acid-base regulation. However, it is clear now that intercalated cells absorb NaCl and K(+) and hence may participate in the regulation of blood pressure and potassium balance. The second paradigm-challenging concept we highlight is the emerging importance of local paracrine factors that play a critical role in the renal control of water and electrolyte balance.
