Abstract
The kidney plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium levels within the body. Approximately 98% of the filtered calcium is reabsorbed in the nephron, and this process is tightly controlled to maintain calcium homeostasis, which is required to facilitate optimal bone mineralization, preserve serum calcium levels within a narrow range, and support intracellular signalling mechanisms. The maintenance of these functions is attributed to a delicate balance achieved by various calcium channels, transporters, and calcium-binding proteins in renal cells. Perturbation of this balance due to deficiency or dysfunction of calcium channels and calcium-binding proteins can lead to severe complications. For example, polycystic kidney disease is linked to aberrant calcium transport and signalling. Furthermore, dysregulation of calcium levels can promote the formation of kidney stones. This Review provides an updated description of the key aspects of calcium handling in the kidney, focusing on the function of various calcium channels and the physiological stimuli that control these channels or are communicated through them. A discussion of the role of calcium as an intracellular second messenger and the pathophysiology of renal calcium dysregulation, as well as a summary of gaps in knowledge and future prospects, are also included.

Altered Plasma Membrane Lipid Composition in Hypertensive Neutrophils Impacts Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) Endocytosis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4939. [PMID: 38732158 PMCID: PMC11084340 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Biological membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, including ion channels like the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which are critical for sodium homeostasis and implicated in arterial hypertension (HTN). Changes in the lipid composition of the plasma membrane can significantly impact cellular processes related to physiological functions. We hypothesized that the observed overexpression of ENaC in neutrophils from HTN patients might result from alterations in the structuring domains within the plasma membrane, disrupting the endocytic processes responsible for ENaC retrieval. This study assessed the structural lipid composition of neutrophil plasma membranes from HTN patients along with the expression patterns of key elements regulating ENaC at the plasma membrane. Our findings suggest alterations in microdomain structure and SGK1 kinase activity, which could prolong ENaC presence on the plasma membrane. Additionally, we propose that the proteasomal and lysosomal degradation pathways are insufficient to diminish ENaC presence at the plasma membrane in HTN. These results highlight the importance of understanding ENaC retrieval mechanisms and suggest that targeting these mechanisms could provide insights for developing drugs to prevent and treat HTN.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gas-signaling agent in various tissues. Although it has been reported that endogenous enzymes that generate H2S are expressed abundantly in the kidney, few reports examine cellular responses to H2S in renal tubular epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of NaHS, an H2S donor, and l-cysteine, a substrate for H2S production, on the principal cells of rat cortical collecting ducts (CCDs). NaHS increased the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the principal cells. The removal of extracellular Ca2+ largely attenuated the [Ca2+]i response. The TRPV4 channel blocker significantly inhibited the effect of NaHS. Extracellular administration of l-cysteine also elicited a rise in [Ca2+]i. Prior treatment of CCDs with AOAA, an inhibitor of H2S production enzyme, l-cysteine-induced [Ca2+]i response was significantly reduced. These results suggest that not only exogenous H2S but also endogenously produced H2S triggers the extracellular influx pathway of Ca2+ in the principal cells of rat CCDs.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a key role in kidney physiology and pathology. They produce ATP to fuel energy-demanding water and solute reabsorption processes along the nephron. Moreover, mitochondria contribute to cellular health by the regulation of autophagy, (oxidative) stress responses, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial abundance is particularly high in cortical segments, including proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Dysfunction of the mitochondria has been described for tubulopathies such as Fanconi, Gitelman, and Bartter-like syndromes and renal tubular acidosis. In addition, mitochondrial cytopathies often affect renal (tubular) tissues, such as in Kearns-Sayre and Leigh syndromes. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction results in renal tubular diseases are only scarcely being explored. This review provides an overview of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development and progression of kidney tubulopathies. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for further mechanistic investigations to identify links between mitochondrial function and renal electrolyte reabsorption.

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
Histamine is an important immunomodulator, as well as a regulator of allergic inflammation, gastric acid secretion, and neurotransmission. Although substantial histamine level has been reported in the kidney, renal pathological and physiological effects of this compound have not been clearly defined. The goal of this study was to provide insight into the role of histamine-related pathways in the kidney, with emphasis on the collecting duct (CD), a distal part of the nephron important for the regulation of blood pressure. We report that all four histamine receptors (HRs) as well as enzymes responsible for histamine metabolism and synthesis are expressed in cultured mouse mpkCCDcl4 cells, and histamine evokes a dose-dependent transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ in these cells. Furthermore, we observed a dose-dependent increase in cAMP in the CD cells in response to histamine. Short-circuit current studies aimed at measuring Na+ reabsorption via ENaC (epithelial Na+ channel) demonstrated inhibition of ENaC-mediated currents by histamine after a 4-hr incubation, and single-channel patch-clamp analysis revealed similar ENaC open probability before and after acute histamine application. The long-term (4 hr) effect on ENaC was corroborated in immunocytochemistry and qPCR, which showed a decrease in protein and gene expression for αENaC upon histamine treatment. In summary, our data highlight the functional importance of HRs in the CD cells and suggest potential implications of histamine in inflammation-related renal conditions. Further research is required to discern the molecular pathways downstream of HRs and assess the role of specific receptors in renal pathophysiology.

Abstract
Flow-related bending of cilia results in Ca2+ influx through a polycystin-1 (Pkd1) and polycystin-2 (Pkd2) complex, both of which are members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family (TRPP1 and TRPP2, respectively). Deletion of this complex as well as cilia result in polycystic kidney disease. The Ca2+ influx pathway has been previously characterized in immortalized collecting duct cells without cilia and found to be a 23-pS channel that was a multimere of TRPP2 and TRPV4. The purpose of the present study was to determine if this TRPP2 and TRPV4 multimere exists in vivo. Apical channel activity was measured using the patch-clamp technique from isolated split-open cortical collecting ducts from adult conditional knockout mice with (Ift88flox/flox) or without (Ift88-/-) cilia. Single tubules were isolated for measurements of mRNA for Pkd1, Pkd2, Trpv4, and epithelial Na+ channel subunits. The predominant channel activity from Ift88flox/flox mice was from epithelial Na+ channel [5-pS Na+-selective channels with long mean open times (475.7 ± 83.26 ms) and open probability > 0.2]. With the loss of cilia, the predominant conductance was a 23-pS nonselective cation channel (reversal potential near 0) with a short mean open time (72 ± 17 ms), open probability < 0.08, and a characteristic flickery opening. Loss of cilia increased mRNA levels for Pkd2 and Trpv4 from single isolated cortical collecting ducts. In conclusion, 23-pS channels exist in vivo, and activity of this channel is elevated with loss of cilia, consistent with previous finding of an elevated-unregulated Ca2+-permeable pathway at the apical membrane of collecting duct cells that lack cilia.

Palmitate Stimulates the Epithelial Sodium Channel by Elevating Intracellular Calcium, Reactive Oxygen Species, and Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Activity.

Abstract
Previous studies indicate that the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the kidney is upregulated in diabetes mellitus. Here, we show that ENaC single-channel activity in distal nephron cells was significantly increased by palmitate, a free fatty acid which is elevated in diabetes mellitus. We also show that palmitate increased intracellular Ca2+ and that after chelating intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA-AM, palmitate failed to affect ENaC activity. Treatment of the cells with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB, an inhibitor of IP3 receptors) abolished the elevation of both intracellular Ca2+ and ENaC activity. Treatment of the cells with apocynin (an NADPH oxidase inhibitor), dithiothreitol/NaHS (reducing agents), or LY294002 (a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor) prevented palmitate-induced ENaC activity, whereas thimerosal (an oxidizing agent) mimicked the effects of palmitate on ENaC activity. However, these treatments did not alter the levels of intracellular Ca2+, indicating that elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of PI3K are downstream of the signaling cascade. Since we have shown that ROS stimulate ENaC by activating PI3K, these data together suggest that palmitate first elevates intracellular Ca2+, then activates an NADPH oxidase to elevate intracellular ROS and PI3K activity, and finally increases ENaC activity via the activated PI3K.

Abstract
During pregnancy, the placenta protects the fetus against the maternal immune response, as well as bacterial and viral pathogens. Bacterial pathogens that have evolved specific mechanisms of breaching this barrier, such as Listeria monocytogenes, present a unique opportunity for learning how the placenta carries out its protective function. We previously identified the L. monocytogenes protein Internalin P (InlP) as a secreted virulence factor critical for placental infection. Here, we show that InlP, but not the highly similar L. monocytogenes internalin Lmo2027, binds to human afadin (encoded by AF-6), a protein associated with cell-cell junctions. A crystal structure of InlP reveals several unique features, including an extended leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain with a distinctive Ca2+-binding site. Despite afadin's involvement in the formation of cell-cell junctions, MDCK epithelial cells expressing InlP displayed a decrease in the magnitude of the traction stresses they could exert on deformable substrates, similar to the decrease in traction exhibited by AF-6 knock-out MDCK cells. L. monocytogenes ΔinlP mutants were deficient in their ability to form actin-rich protrusions from the basal face of polarized epithelial monolayers, a necessary step in the crossing of such monolayers (transcytosis). A similar phenotype was observed for bacteria expressing an internal in-frame deletion in inlP (inlP ΔLRR5) that specifically disrupts its interaction with afadin. However, afadin deletion in the host cells did not rescue the transcytosis defect. We conclude that secreted InlP targets cytosolic afadin to specifically promote L. monocytogenes transcytosis across the basal face of epithelial monolayers, which may contribute to the crossing of the basement membrane during placental infection.

Abstract
It has been suggested that voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) control the release of superoxide from mitochondria. We have previously shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2̇̄) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stimulate epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) in sodium-transporting epithelial tissue, including cortical collecting duct (CCD) principal cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that VDACs could regulate ENaC by modulating cytosolic ROS levels. Herein, we find that VDAC3-knockout(KO) mice can maintain normal salt and water balance on low-salt and high-salt diets. However, on a high-salt diet for 2 weeks, VDAC3-KO mice had significantly higher systolic blood pressure than wildtype mice. Consistent with this observation, after a high-salt diet for 2 weeks, ENaC activity in VDAC3-KO mice was significantly higher than wildtype mice. EM analysis disclosed a significant morphological change of mitochondria in the CCD cells of VDAC3-KO mice compared with wildtype mice, which may have been caused by mitochondrial superoxide overload. Of note, compared with wildtype animals, ROS levels in VDAC3-KO animals fed a normal or high-salt diet were consistently and significantly increased in renal tubules. Both the ROS scavenger 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidine (TEMPOL) and the mitochondrial ROS scavenger (2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride (mito-TEMPO) could reverse the effect of high-salt on ENaC activity and systolic blood pressure in the VDAC3-KO mice. Mito-TEMPO partially correct the morphological changes in VDAC3-KO mice. Our results suggest that knocking out mitochondrial VDAC3 increases ROS, alters renal sodium transport, and leads to hypertension.

Hydrogen peroxide suppresses TRPM4 trafficking to the apical membrane in mouse cortical collecting duct principal cells. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2016; 311:F1360-F1368. [PMID: 27956381 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00439.2016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2016] [Revised: 10/31/2016] [Accepted: 10/31/2016] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
A Ca2+-activated nonselective cation channel (NSCCa) is found in principal cells of the mouse cortical collecting duct (CCD). However, the molecular identity of this channel remains unclear. We used mpkCCDc14 cells, a mouse CCD principal cell line, to determine whether NSCCa represents the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, the melastatin subfamily 4 (TRPM4). A Ca2+-sensitive single-channel current was observed in inside-out patches excised from the apical membrane of mpkCCDc14 cells. Like TRPM4 channels found in other cell types, this channel has an equal permeability for Na+ and K+ and has a linear current-voltage relationship with a slope conductance of ~23 pS. The channel was inhibited by a specific TRPM4 inhibitor, 9-phenanthrol. Moreover, the frequency of observing this channel was dramatically decreased in TRPM4 knockdown mpkCCDc14 cells. Unlike those previously reported in other cell types, the TRPM4 in mpkCCDc14 cells was unable to be activated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Conversely, after treatment with H2O2, TRPM4 density in the apical membrane of mpkCCDc14 cells was significantly decreased. The channel in intact cell-attached patches was activated by ionomycin (a Ca2+ ionophore), but not by ATP (a purinergic P2 receptor agonist). These data suggest that the NSCCa current previously described in CCD principal cells is actually carried through TRPM4 channels. However, the physiological role of this channel in the CCD remains to be further determined.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanometer-scale, cell-derived vesicles that contain various molecules including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. These vesicles can release their cargo into adjacent or distant cells and mediate intercellular communication and cellular function. Here we examined the regulation of epithelial sodium channels in mpkCCD cells and distal tubule Xenopus 2F3 cells by exosomes isolated from proximal tubule LLC-PK1 cells. Cultured mpkCCD cells were stained with CTX coupled to a green fluorophore in order to label the cell membranes and freshly isolated exosomes from LLC-PK1 cells were labeled with the red lipophilic dye PKH26 in order to visualize uptake of exosomes into the cells. Single-channel patch clamp recordings showed the open probability of ENaC in Xenopus 2F3 cells and in freshly isolated split-open tubules decreased in response to exogenous application of exosomes derived from LLC-PK1 proximal tubule cells. Active GAPDH was identified within exosomes derived from proximal tubule LLC-PK1 cells. The effect on ENaC activity in Xenopus 2F3 cells was blunted after application of exosomes transfected with the GAPDH inhibitor heptelidic acid. Also, we show GAPDH and ENaC subunits associate in mpkCCD cells. These studies examine a potential role for exosomes in the regulation of ENaC activity and examine a possible mechanism for communication from proximal tubule cells to distal tubule and collecting duct cells.
