Abstract
The neurotransmitter dopamine is a key factor in central nervous system (CNS) function, regulating many processes including reward, movement, and cognition. Dopamine also regulates critical functions in peripheral organs, such as blood pressure, renal activity, and intestinal motility. Beyond these functions, a growing body of evidence indicates that dopamine is an important immunoregulatory factor. Most types of immune cells express dopamine receptors and other dopaminergic proteins, and many immune cells take up, produce, store, and/or release dopamine, suggesting that dopaminergic immunomodulation is important for immune function. Targeting these pathways could be a promising avenue for the treatment of inflammation and disease, but despite increasing research in this area, data on the specific effects of dopamine on many immune cells and disease processes remain inconsistent and poorly understood. Therefore, this review integrates the current knowledge of the role of dopamine in immune cell function and inflammatory signaling across systems. We also discuss the current understanding of dopaminergic regulation of immune signaling in the CNS and peripheral tissues, highlighting the role of dopaminergic immunomodulation in diseases such as Parkinson's disease, several neuropsychiatric conditions, neurologic human immunodeficiency virus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and others. Careful consideration is given to the influence of experimental design on results, and we note a number of areas in need of further research. Overall, this review integrates our knowledge of dopaminergic immunology at the cellular, tissue, and disease level and prompts the development of therapeutics and strategies targeted toward ameliorating disease through dopaminergic regulation of immunity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Canonically, dopamine is recognized as a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of movement, cognition, and reward. However, dopamine also acts as an immune modulator in the central nervous system and periphery. This review comprehensively assesses the current knowledge of dopaminergic immunomodulation and the role of dopamine in disease pathogenesis at the cellular and tissue level. This will provide broad access to this information across fields, identify areas in need of further investigation, and drive the development of dopaminergic therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Insulin resistance induced by a high-fructose diet has been associated to hypertension and renal damage. The aim of this work was to assess alterations in the urinary L-dopa/dopamine ratio over three time periods in rats with insulin resistance induced by fructose overload and its correlation with blood pressure levels and the presence of microalbuminuria and reduced nephrin expression as markers of renal structural damage. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: control (C) (C4, C8 and C12) with tap water to drink and fructose-overloaded (FO) rats (FO4, FO8 and FO12) with a fructose solution (10% w/v) to drink for 4, 8 and 12 weeks. A significant increase of the urinary L-dopa/dopamine ratio was found in FO rats since week 4, which positively correlated to the development of hypertension and preceded in time the onset of microalbuminuria and reduced nephrin expression observed on week 12 of treatment. The alteration of this ratio was associated to an impairment of the renal dopaminergic system, evidenced by a reduction in renal dopamine transporters and dopamine D1 receptor expression, leading to an overexpression and overactivation of the enzyme Na+, K+-ATPase with sodium retention. In conclusion, urinary L-dopa/dopamine ratio alteration in rats with fructose overload positively correlated to the development of hypertension and preceded in time the onset of renal structural damage. This is the first study to propose the use of the urinary L-dopa/dopamine index as marker of renal dysfunction that temporarily precedes kidney structural damage induced by fructose overload.

Abstract
Renalase is a kidney-secreted catecholamines-degrading enzyme whose expression and activity are downregulated by increased dietary phosphate. A renalase knockout (KO) mouse model was used to explore the mechanisms mediating renalase's effect on phosphate excretion. Compared with wild-type (WT) mice maintained on a regular diet, KO mice show decreased serum PO4(-) (KO = 5.3 ± 0.2 vs. WT = 6.0 ± 0.1, n = 6; P < 0.04) and increased urinary PO4(-) excretion (urine PO4(-)/creatinine: KO = 7.7 ± 0.3 vs. WT = 6.1 ± 0.3, n = 6; P < 0.02). However, both WT and KO mice respond similarly to PO4(-) restriction by increasing renal COMT-1 activity and markedly decreasing PO4(-) excretion, which excludes an intrinsic renal defect in the KO. Renal sodium-phosphate cotransporter Npt2a, sodium proton exchanger NHE3 expression, and MAO-A and B activity did not differ between WT and KO. Only catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) expression and activity were significantly increased in KO mice. Despite that, urinary dopamine increased by twofold, whereas urinary l-DOPA excretion decreased by twofold in the KO mouse, indicating an upregulation of renal dopamine (DA) synthesis. These data indicate that renalase deficiency is associated with increased renal DA synthesis, stimulated PO4(-) excretion, and moderately severe hypophosphatemia. The signal to increase renal DA synthesis is strong since it overcomes a compensatory increase in COMT activity.

Abstract
Targeted deletion or selective pharmacological inhibition of α(2C)-adrenoceptors in mice results in increased brain tissue levels of dopamine and its precursor l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA), without significant changes in l-DOPA synthesis. l-DOPA uptake is considered the rate-limiting step in dopamine synthesis in the kidney. Since α(2C)-adrenoceptors may influence the transport of l-DOPA, we investigated the effect of α(2C)-adrenoceptor activation on l-DOPA uptake in a kidney cell line (opossum kidney cells). l-DOPA and dopamine kidney tissue levels in α(2C)-adrenoceptor knockout (α(2C)KO) mice and in mice treated with the selective α(2C)-adrenoceptor antagonist JP-1302 were also evaluated. The α(2)-adrenoceptor agonist medetomidine (0.1-1,000 nM) produced a concentration-dependent decrease in l-DOPA uptake in opossum kidney cells (IC(50): 2.5 ± 0.5 nM and maximal effect: 28 ± 5% of inhibition). This effect was abolished by a preincubation with JP-1302 (300 nM). Furthermore, the effect of medetomidine (100 nM) was abolished by a preincubation with U-0126 (10 μM), a MEK1/2 inhibitor. Kidney tissue levels of l-DOPA were significantly higher in α(2C)KO mice compared with wild-type mice (wild-type mice: 58 ± 2 pmol/g tissue and α(2C)KO mice: 81 ± 15 pmol/g tissue, P < 0.05) and in mice treated with JP-1302 (3 μmol/kg body wt) compared with control mice (control mice: 62 ± 2 pmol/g tissue and JP-1302-treated mice: 75 ± 1 pmol/g tissue, P < 0.05), both without significant changes in dopamine kidney tissue levels. However, mice treated with JP-1302 on a high-salt diet presented significantly higher dopamine levels in the kidney and urine compared with control animals on a high-salt diet. In conclusion, in a kidney cell line, α(2C)-adrenoceptor activation inhibits l-DOPA uptake, and in mice, deletion or blockade of α(2C)-adrenoceptors increases l-DOPA kidney tissue levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Renalase is a secreted amine oxidase that is synthesized in the kidney, and that metabolizes circulating catecholamines. Tissue and plasma renalase levels are decreased in models of chronic kidney disease. Recent data indicate that renalase deficiency is associated with increased blood pressure and elevated circulating catecholamines. The mechanisms of hypertension in renalase deficiency and the possibility that renalase regulates the renal dopamine system are discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Characterization of the renalase knockout mouse model revealed that renalase deficiency increases SBP and DBP. Renal and cardiac functions are unaffected, but there is evidence of sympathetic activation, with elevation of plasma and urine catecholamines. Renalase is continually excreted in urine, and is enzymatically active and could modulate catecholamines levels in tubular fluid. Renalase expression is modulated by salt intake, and recombinant renalase has a potent and prolonged hypotensive effect on blood pressure in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and rats with chronic kidney disease. Plasma renalase levels are inversely associated with SBP in patients with resistant hypertension. A functional mutation in renalase (Glu37Asp) associated with essential hypertension also predicts more severe cardiac hypertrophy, dysfunction, and ischemia in individuals with stable coronary artery disease, comparable blood pressure and normal renal function. SUMMARY Urinary renalase metabolizes urinary catecholamines, and perhaps regulates dopamine concentration in luminal fluid, and modulate proximal tubular sodium transport. Renalase deficiency is associated with increased sympathetic tone and resistant hypertension. Recombinant renalase is a potent antihypertensive agent in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and in rats with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background: Acute renal failure is a common complication of cardiac surgery, with oxidants found to play an important role in renal injury. We therefore assessed whether the supplemental antioxidant vitamin E and the inhibitor of xanthine oxidase allopurinol could prevent renal dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: Of 60 patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min scheduled to undergo CABG surgery, 30 were randomized to treatment with vitamin E and allopurinol for 3–5 days before surgery and 30 to no treatment. Serum creatinine levels and potassium and creatinine clearances were measured preoperatively and daily until day 5 after surgery. Results: The patients consisted of 31 males and 29 females, with a mean age of 63 ± 9 years. After surgery, there were no significant differences in mean serum creatinine (1.2 ± 0.33 vs 1.2 ± 0.4 mg/dL; p = 0.43) concentrations, or creatinine clearance (52 ± 12.8 vs 52 ± 12.8 mL/min; p = 0.9). The frequency of acute renal failure did not differ in treatment group compared with control (16% vs 13%; p = 0.5). Length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was significantly longer in the control than in the treated group (3.9 ± 1.5 vs 2.6 ± 0.7 days; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Prophylactic treatment with vitamin E and allopurinol had no renoprotective effects in patients with pre-existing renal failure undergoing CABG surgery. Treatment with these agents, however, reduces the duration of ICU stay.

Abstract
Impairment of the renal dopaminergic pathway has been shown to result in essential hypertension. The Organic Cation Transporter 2, OCT2 (SLC22A2), has been implicated in renal dopamine handling as well as in the inactivation of circulating catecholamines and is supposed to be involved in blood pressure regulation. This study investigated the association of the OCT2 Ala270Ser polymorphism with essential hypertension and its impact on blood pressure status in 607 Caucasian patients who underwent left heart catheterization. Clinical characteristics and diagnosis were recorded and blood pressure was determined by intravascular measurement. A comparison of genotypes revealed that patients with the Ser270 allele were less frequently affected by the clinical diagnosis of hypertension than homozygous carriers of the wild type allele Ala270 (Kruskal Wallis test, p = 0.028). This relation was even more pronounced in the subgroup of patients without diabetes mellitus (Kruskal Wallis test, p = 0.013). In summary, the first data on OCT2 are presented in the context of a candidate gene analysis. The Ala270Ser polymorphism was significantly associated with essential hypertension in the present sample. This study further suggests a function of OCT2 in blood pressure homeostasis and points to the potential role of the transporter in the development of essential hypertension.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that a deletion of the dopamine D2 receptor gene caused suppression of urinary sodium excretion and salt-sensitive elevation of blood pressure in mice. In order to understand the mechanisms underlying this impaired sodium excretion, we studied renal dopamine production and dopamine-induced sodium excretion in 20- to 30-week-old male D2-receptor knockout (D2KO) mice and age- and sex-matched wildtype (WT) mice. Renal local dopamine synthesis, examined by 24-h urine free dopamine excretion (UDAV), was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in D2KO mice compared to that in WT mice (D2KO versus WT: 1.06 +/- 0.2 versus 1.5 +/- 0.3 ng/mg creatinine). Such a difference between D2KO and WT mice was also observed after oral administration of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), a precursor of dopamine, at 5 mg/kg per day for 24 h. Furthermore, activity of aromatic 1-amino acid decarboxylase, a dopamine synthetase, was significantly suppressed in D2KO mice. Next, we examined changes in 24-h urine flow (UV) and 24-h sodium excretion (UNaV) during chronic infusion of dopamine at sub-pressor doses (3-4 microg/kg per min, sq.) or a vehicle via an osmotic pump. Urine flow in 24 h and UNaV were significantly (p < 0.05) smaller in D2KO mice infused with vehicle than in WT mice infused with vehicle (UV: 210 +/- 43 versus 650 +/- 163 microl/day; UNaV: 20.6 +/- 13.2 versus 44.4 +/- 21.6 microEq/day). After administration of dopamine, UV and UNaV in D2KO mice were restored to a level similar to that in WT mice. These results indicate that D2-dopamine receptors play a significant role in renal local dopamine synthesis and that a shortage of dopamine was, at least in part, responsible for the suppression of UV and UNaV in D2KO mice. However, we could not conclude from the present study whether renal tubular sodium reabsorption is intact in D2KO mice because the baseline dopamine contents in kidneys of D2KO mice and WT mice may be different.

Abstract
Blood pressure is influenced by several vasoactive factors that also regulate nephron transport. An imbalance in regulation of salt reabsorption by the nephron contributes to hypertension. In the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), the responses to dopamine and angiotensin II in the proximal nephron are diminished and enhanced, respectively. This partially explains why the proximal tubule of SHR absorbs more salt and water than that of normotensive controls. In the Dahl salt-sensitive rat, defects in NO signaling and alterations in the arachidonic acid/cytochrome P450 pathways are associated with increased salt reabsorption by the thick ascending limb. In other animal models, such as the deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt rat, hypertension develops as the result of an induced hormonal imbalance. By mimicking the effects of aldosterone, DOCA stimulates sodium reabsorption in the collecting ducts, causing salt and fluid retention. Thus, this model is similar to inherited forms of human hypertension caused by abnormal regulation of transport by mineralocorticoids, such as apparent mineralocorticoid excess and glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism. Overall, these findings demonstrate the significance of vasoactive compounds in regulating nephron transport and controlling blood pressure. However, important questions regarding humoral control of nephron transport and its implications in hypertension remain unanswered, and intensive research in these areas is required.

Abstract
Previous studies reported the existence of both D1- and D2-like receptors in the cortical collecting duct (CCD). However, especially with regard to natriuresis, it remains controversial. In the present study, rabbit CCD was perfused to characterize the receptor subtypes responsible for the tubular actions. Basolateral dopamine (DA) induced a dose-dependent depolarization of transepithelial voltage. Basolateral domperidone, a D2-like receptor antagonist, abolished depolarization, whereas SKF-81297, a D1-like receptor agonist, showed no significant change. In addition, bromocriptine, a D2-like receptor agonist, also caused depolarization, whereas SKF-81297, a D1-like receptor agonist, did not depolarize significantly. Moreover, RBI-257, a D4-specific antagonist, reversed the basolateral DA-induced depolarization. In contrast to the basolateral side, luminal DA caused depolarization via a D1-like receptor; however the change was less than that for basolateral DA. For further evaluation, 22Na+ flux (J(Na)) was measured to confirm the effect of DA on Na+ transport. Basolateral DA also caused a suppression of J(Na), and this reaction was abolished by domperidone. These results suggested that the basolateral D2-like receptor is mainly responsible for the natriuretic action of DA in rabbit CCD.

Abstract
The baculovirus system has been used to express the rat dopamine D1 receptors in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells. A panel of typical antipsychotics including, alpha-flupenthixol, fluphenazine and thioridizine were found to inhibit dopamine-dependent stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. However, these compounds were also found to inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity in the absence of agonist in Sf9 cells expressing dopamine D1-like receptors. Therefore, these nonselective dopamine receptor compounds displayed negative intrinsic or inverse agonist activity. None of the compounds tested were neutral antagonists.

Abstract
Obesity-related non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is frequently accompanied by hypertension. The present study was designed to clarify this mechanism. We first determined the blood pressure in male Wistar fatty rats (WFR), one of the NIDDM model rats, and in Wistar lean rats (WLR) as the control, with a normal (0.7% NaCl) or high (7% NaCl) salt diet. We observed no difference in systolic and mean blood pressures between WFR and WLR. WFR, however, became extremely hypertensive as a result of ingesting the high salt diet. We next investigated the mechanism for sodium sensitivity in WFR. Although the urinary excretion of dopamine (DA), a potent natriuretic factor, which reflects the ability for renal DA production, was preserved in WFR, the sodium balance with the high salt diet was positive. Moreover, Na-K-ATPase activity in isolated proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) from WFR with a normal salt diet was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that from WLR. A high salt load produced a significant (p<0.05) decrease in Na-K-ATPase activity in WLR but not in WFR. Similarly, Na-K-ATPase activity in WLR with a normal salt diet was significantly (p<0.05) inhibited by DA (10(-5) M), but this was not true in WFR. Furthermore, urinary excretion of norepinephrine in WFR with a high salt diet was the highest among all the groups. These results indicate that WFR tend to develop salt-sensitive hypertension that could be caused by the excessive sodium retention occurring as the results of a defective dopaminergic system in the kidney that fails to inhibit Na-K-ATPase activity. Augmentation of the renal sympathetic nervous system may play some role in this setting.

Abstract
Abstract.Acute renal failure (ARF) remains a common and potentially devastating disorder that affects as many as 5% of all hospitalized patients, with a higher prevalence in patients in critical care units. The focus of this article is on categorizing recent pathophysiologic and clinically relevant developments in the field. The vascular and tubular factors in the pathogenesis of ARF, together with the potential mechanisms of recovery and repair of the injured kidney, are discussed. A number of experimental and clinical interventions to prevent. ARF are summarized. Although the clinical treatment of these patients is still largely supportive and many recent clinical trials showed rather negative results, it is hoped that basic research will provide therapeutic tools to improve the grim prognosis of this disease in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dopamine (DA) is a principal natriuretic hormone that defends extracellular fluid volume from a Na load. Natriuresis is effected partly through inhibiting the proximal tubule Na/H exchanger NHE-3. Changes in NHE-3 phosphorylation is one mechanism by which NHE-3 activity is regulated. METHODS We used opossum kidney (OK) cells to characterize the differential and synergistic effects of DA receptor subtype-1 (DA1) and -2 (DA2) agonists and the effect of blockade of protein kinase A (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC) on NHE-3 activity and phosphorylation. RESULTS DA and DA1 agonists inhibited NHE-3 activity, and DA1 antagonist blocked the effect of either DA or DA1 agonist. DA2 agonist alone had no effect, but DA2 antagonist reduced the DA effect on NHE-3 activity. DA1 and DA2 agonists together were more potent than DA1 alone. PKA inhibition eliminated the effect of DA1 agonist and partially blocked the effect of DA on NHE-3 activity. PKC inhibition did not block the DA effect. DA1 agonist and PKA activation phosphorylated NHE-3 on identical sites. Despite lack of effect on NHE-3 activity, DA2 agonists increased NHE-3 phosphorylation. DA-induced NHE-3 phosphorylation was distinct from DA1 and PKA but closely resembled DA2. CONCLUSION We postulate the following: (1) DA modifies NHE-3 phosphorylation by activating PKA through DA1 and by other kinases/phosphatases via DA2. (2) DA1 is sufficient to inhibit NHE-3, while DA2 is insufficient but plays a synergistic role by altering NHE-3 phosphorylation.

Abstract
The properties of an (125)I-labeled structural analog of 2, 3-dimethoxy-N-[9-(4-fluorobenzyl)-9-azabicyclo[3.3. 1]nonan-3beta-yl]benzamide (MABN), (125)I-IABN, are described. (125)I-IABN was developed as a high-affinity radioligand selective for the D2-like (D2, D3, and D4) dopamine receptor subtypes. (125)I-IABN binds with picomolar affinity and nonselectively to rat D2 and D3 dopamine receptors expressed in Sf9 and HEK 293 cells. (125)I-IABN binds with 7- to 25-fold lower affinity to human D4.4 dopamine receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells. Dissociation constants (Kd) calculated from kinetic experiments were in agreement with equilibrium Kd values obtained from saturation binding studies. Saturation plots of the binding of (125)I-IABN with rat caudate membrane preparations were monophasic and exhibited low nonspecific binding. The pharmacologic profile of the binding of (125)I-IABN to rat caudate was consistent with a D2-like receptor, suggesting that the ligand binds primarily to D2 dopamine receptors. In addition, IABN was found to bind with low affinity to D1 dopamine receptors, as well as to the sigma1 and sigma2 receptor subtypes. Quantitative autoradiographic studies using rat brain slices indicate that (125)I-IABN selectively labels the striatum and the olfactory tubercle area, which is consistent with the labeling of D2-like receptors. IABN blocks dopamine-dependent inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity at D2 or D4.4 receptors expressed in HEK cells. Therefore, (125)I-IABN appears to be a high-affinity, selective antagonist at D2-like dopamine receptors. Finally, a unique property of the azabicyclononane benzamide (125)I-IABN compared to previously studied substituted benzamides is that the binding of this radioligand is not effected by variations in Na(+) concentration.

Abstract
The kidney regulates sodium metabolism with extraordinary precision and sensitivity. This is accomplished by an intricate interaction between signals from extrarenal and intrarenal sources and between anti-natriuretic and natriuretic factors. Dopamine, produced in renal proximal tubule cells, plays a central role in this interactive network. Natriuretic hormones that are released from extrarenal sources, such as atrial natriuretic peptide, mediate some of their effects via renal dopamine receptors. On the level of the tubules, dopamine acts by opposing the effects of anti-natriuretic factors, such as angiotensin II and alpha-adrenergic receptors. Sodium retention leads to an increase in renal dopamine tonus, and the natriuretic effects of dopamine are more prominent under this condition. Inhibition or down-regulation of dopamine receptors significantly attenuates the natriuretic response to salt loading. Renal dopamine is modulated by the supply of filtered L-DOPA and the metabolism of dopamine via catechol-O-methyldopamine. The importance of dopamine as a natriuretic hormone is reflected by its capacity to inhibit the majority of renal tubule sodium transporters. Notably, the activity of Na+, K+ ATPase is inhibited in most tubule segments by dopamine. Recent studies have elucidated many of the signaling pathways for renal dopamine receptors. Novel principles for homologous and heterologous sensitization of dopamine receptors have been detected that may explain some of the interaction between dopamine and other first messengers that modulate renal tubule sodium transport. A broad understanding of the renal dopamine system has become increasingly important, since there is now strong evidence from both clinical and experimental studies that dysregulation of the renal dopamine system plays a role in many forms of multigenetic hypertension.

Abstract
The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, or sodium pump, is the membrane-bound enzyme that maintains the Na(+) and K(+) gradients across the plasma membrane of animal cells. Because of its importance in many basic and specialized cellular functions, this enzyme must be able to adapt to changing cellular and physiological stimuli. This review presents an overview of the many mechanisms in place to regulate sodium pump activity in a tissue-specific manner. These mechanisms include regulation by substrates, membrane-associated components such as cytoskeletal elements and the gamma-subunit, and circulating endogenous inhibitors as well as a variety of hormones, including corticosteroids, peptide hormones, and catecholamines. In addition, the review considers the effects of a range of specific intracellular signaling pathways involved in the regulation of pump activity and subcellular distribution, with particular consideration given to the effects of protein kinases and phosphatases.

Abstract
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) plays both a regulatory and protective role in catechol homeostasis. It contributes to the regulation of tissue levels of catecholamines and catecholestrogens (CEs) and, by blocking oxidative metabolism of catechols, prevents endogenous and exogenous catechols from becoming a source of potentially mutagenic electrophiles. Evidence implicating CEs in carcinogenesis, in particular in the hamster kidney model of estrogen-induced cancer, has focused attention on the protective role of COMT in estrogen target tissues. We have previously reported that treating hamsters with estrogens causes translocation of COMT to nuclei of epithelial cells in the renal cortex, the site of CE biosynthesis and where the cancers arise. This finding suggested that nuclear COMT may be a marker of a threat to the genome by catechols, including CEs. It is postulated that CEs play a role in the genesis of breast cancer by contributing to a state of chronic oxidative stress that is presumed to underlie the high incidence of this disease in the United States. Therefore, here we used immunocytochemistry to re-examine human breast parenchyma for nuclear COMT. In addition to confirming previous reports of cytoplasmic COMT in mammary epithelial cells, we identified nuclear COMT in foci of mammary epithelial cells in histologically normal breast tissue of virtually all control (macromastia) and cancer patients and in breast cancer cells. There was no correlation between tissue histology and the numbers of cells with nuclear COMT, the size of foci containing such cells, or intensity of nuclear COMT immunostaining. The focal nature of the phenomenon suggests that nuclear COMT does not serve a housekeeping function but that it reflects a protective response to an increased local catechol load, presumably of CEs and, as such, that it may be a characteristic of the population of women studied who share the same major risk factor for developing breast cancer, that of living in the industrialized West.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the length of the effects of long-term (48 hrs), low-dose dopamine infusion on both renal function and systemic hemodynamic variables in stable nonoliguric critically ill patients. DESIGN Prospective, single-blind, controlled clinical study. SETTING University hospital, 19-bed multidisciplinary intensive care unit. PATIENTS Eight hemodynamically stable, critically ill patients with a mild nonoliguric renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 30 and 80 mL/min). INTERVENTIONS Each patient consecutively received 4 hrs of placebo, followed by a 3 microg/kg/min dopamine infusion during 48 hrs, then a new 4-hr placebo period. We measured cardiac output and other hemodynamic variables by using a pulmonary artery catheter. The bladder was emptied to determine urine volume and to collect urine samples. Measurements were performed at six times: after the initial control of 4 hrs of placebo (C1); after 4 hrs (H4), 8 hrs (H8), 24 hrs (H24), and 48 hrs (H48) of dopamine infusion; and after the second control of 4 hrs of placebo (C2). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We saw no significant change in systemic hemodynamic variables with dopamine at all times of infusion. Diuresis, creatinine clearance, and the fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) at C1 and C2 were not different. Urine flow, creatinine clearance, and FENa increased significantly 4 hrs after starting dopamine (for all these changes, p < .01 vs. C1 and C2). The maximum changes were obtained at H8, with an increase of 50% for diuresis, 37% for creatinine clearance, and 85% for FENa (for all these changes, p < .01 vs. C1 and C2). But these effects waned progressively from H24, and both creatinine clearance and FENa at H48 did not differ from control values. CONCLUSIONS In stable critically ill patients, preventive low-dose dopamine increased creatinine clearance, diuresis, and the fractional excretion of sodium without concomitant hemodynamic change. These effects reached a maximum during 8 hrs of dopamine infusion. But despite a slight persistent increase in diuresis, improvement in creatinine clearance and FENa disappeared after 48 hrs. According to these data, it is likely that tolerance develops to dopamine-receptor agonists in critically ill patients at risk of developing acute renal failure.

Abstract
Renal sodium re-absorption is a closely regulated process serving to maintain both extracellular fluid volume and arterial blood pressure. Proteins participating in sodium re-absorption and its regulation are therefore important candidate proteins whose genes may contain sequence variation contributing to the inherited tendency for increased arterial blood pressure (essential hypertension). Important insight has come from rare forms of single-gene hypertension in human subjects and from polygenic animal models of genetic hypertension. Both indicate the primacy of altered renal function in the genesis of hypertension, and suggest that genes contributing to the disease are members of the subset of genes expressed in the kidney. This review examines evidence for abnormalities in renal sodium re-absorption in hypertension and focuses on the proximal tubule as a site of relevant dysfunction. Identification of the proteins participating in renal sodium re-absorption and its regulation, particularly those involved in the renal pressure-natriuresis mechanism, will allow gene cloning and sequencing which in turn may lead to the identification of novel gene sequence variation participating in hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The renal effects of dopamine in critically ill patients remain controversial. Low-dose dobutamine has been reported to improve renal function. We compared the effects of various doses of dopamine and dobutamine on renal function in critically ill patients. DESIGN Prospective, single-blind, randomized study. SETTING University hospital, 19-bed multidisciplinary intensive care unit. PATIENTS Twelve hemodynamically stable patients with mild nonoliguric renal impairment. INTERVENTIONS Each patient randomly received four different doses of dopamine and dobutamine (placebo, 3, 7, and 12 microg/kg/min). Each infusion lasted for 4 hrs. Cardiac output and systemic hemodynamic variables were measured using a pulmonary arterial catheter at the beginning (HO) and the end (H4) of each infusion. The bladder was emptied at HO and H4 to determine urine volume and to collect samples. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The cardiac index increased significantly with both dopamine and dobutamine (p < .001). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) increased, with the maximum effect of 20% seen with 12-microg/kg/min dopamine infusion (p < .01). No change in MAP was seen with dobutamine. Dobutamine infusions did not change any renal variables. Conversely, all dopamine infusions significantly increased diuresis, creatinine clearance, and the fractional excretion of sodium (p < .01). Creatinine clearance increased from 61+/-16.9 (SD) mL/min to a maximum of 85.7+/-30 mL/min at the 7-microg/kg/min dose; fractional excretion of sodium increased from 0.26%+/-0.28% to a maximum of 0.62%+/-0.51% at the 12-microg/kg/min dose (p < .01). During dopamine infusions, there was a significant relationship between MAP and creatinine clearance (p = .018). CONCLUSIONS At all doses studied, 4-hr infusions of dopamine significantly increased creatinine clearance, diuresis, and the fractional excretion of sodium in stable critically ill patients. Conversely, dobutamine did not modify these variables. Although the level of MAP might partially contribute to the improvement in renal variables, it is more likely that the activation of renal dopamine receptors played a prominent role.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the sensitivity of jejunal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase to inhibition by dopamine (DA) in young rats is related to the type of food (breast milk vs. solid) or reflects a developmental adaptation. When 18-d-old rats were separated from their dams and fed solid food (the same used to feed adult rats) for 2 d, intestinal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was significantly greater than that of breast-fed pups of the same age (20 d) (127 +/- 8 vs. 52 +/- 4 nmol Pi. mg protein(-1). min(-1); P < 0.05). Activity in rats fed solid food was insensitive to inhibition by 1 micromol/L DA. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in 60-d-old rats (117. 4 +/- 4.2 nmol Pi. mg protein(-1). min(-1)) was also higher (P < 0. 05) than in breast-fed rats, and DA (1 micromol/L) did not inhibit enzyme activity. The B(max) value for binding of [(3)H]-Sch 23390 in 20-d-old breast-fed rats did not differ from that in age-matched rats fed a solid food for 2 d and or that in 60-d-old rats. Levels of DA, but not L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and amine metabolites, in the jejunal mucosa of 20-d-old rats that had eaten solid food for 2 d were 60% lower than in age-matched rats, breast-fed rats, and not different from those in the jejunal mucosa of 60-d-old rats fed the solid food. We conclude that in adult rats, in contrast to in young rats, DA does not inhibit jejunal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity, and food intake in young rats plays an important role in the development of the insensitivity of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity to DA.

Abstract
The factor responsible for salt sensitivity of blood pressure in Dahl rats is unclear but presumably resides in the kidney. We tested the hypotheses that (1) thick ascending limbs of Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) absorb more NaCl than those of Dahl salt-resistant rats (DR) and (2) NO inhibits transport to a lesser extent in thick ascending limbs from DS. We found that basal chloride absorption (J(Cl)) by thick ascending limbs from DR was 105.8+/-10.0 pmol. mm(-1). min(-1) (n=6). Ten and 100 micromol/L spermine NONOate, an NO donor, decreased J(Cl) in DR to 65.8+/-8.5 and 46.8+/-7.0 pmol. mm(-1). min(-1), respectively. Basal J(Cl) in DS was 131.6+/-13.4 pmol. mm(-1). min(-1) (n=7). In DS, 10 and 100 micromol/L spermine NONOate decreased J(Cl) to 111.5+/-12.8 and 46.8+/-6.2 pmol. mm(-1). min(-1), respectively. No difference was observed in basal or NO-inhibited Na absorption by cortical collecting ducts or in basal or NO-inhibited oxygen consumption by inner medullary collecting ducts. Because NO acts via generation of cGMP, we measured cGMP production by thick ascending limbs from DS and DR to see whether a difference in cGMP production could account for the difference in basal or NO-inhibited transport. Basal rates of cGMP production were similar between the 2 strains. Although NO increased cGMP production by thick ascending limbs from both strains, no difference existed between DS and DR. We concluded that the reduced ability of NO to block transport in thick ascending limbs in DS may account for at least part of the salt sensitivity of blood pressure in this strain.

Abstract
There is a great deal of evidence for synergistic interactions between G protein-coupled signal transduction pathways in various tissues. As two specific examples, the potent effects of the biogenic amines norepinephrine and dopamine on sodium transporters and natriuresis can be modulated by neuropeptide Y and atrial natriuretic peptide, respectively. Here, we report, using a renal epithelial cell line, that both types of modulation involve recruitment of receptors from the interior of the cell to the plasma membrane. The results indicate that recruitment of G protein-coupled receptors may be a ubiquitous mechanism for receptor sensitization and may play a role in the modulation of signal transduction comparable to that of the well established phenomenon of receptor endocytosis and desensitization.

Abstract
The recently cloned apical renal transport system for organic cations (OCT2) exists in dopamine-rich tissues such as kidney and some brain areas (Gründemann, D., Babin-Ebell, J., Martel, F., Ording, N., Schmidt, A., and Schömig, E. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 10408-10413). The study at hand was performed to answer the question of whether OCT2 accepts dopamine and other monoamine transmitters as substrate. 293 cells were stably transfected with the OCT2r cDNA resulting in the 293OCT2r cell line. Expression of OCT2r in 293 cells induces specific transport of tritiated dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Initial rates of specific 3H-dopamine, 3H-noradrenaline, 3H-adrenaline, and 3H-5-HT transport were saturable, the Km values being 2.1, 4.4, 1.9, and 3.6 mmol/liter. The corresponding Vmax values were 3.9, 1.0, 0. 59, and 2.5 nmol min-1.mg of protein-1, respectively. 1, 1'-diisopropyl-2,4'-cyanine (disprocynium24), a known inhibitor of OCT2 with a potent eukaliuric diuretic activity, inhibited 3H-dopamine uptake into 293OCT2r cells with an Ki of 5.1 (2.6, 9.9) nmol/liter. In situ hybridization reveals that, within the kidney, the OCT2r mRNA is restricted to the outer medulla and deep portions of the medullary rays indicating selective expression in the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. These findings open the possibility that OCT2r plays a role in renal dopamine handling.

Abstract
A potential role for the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the development and/or maintenance of hypertension in the genetic model of rat hypertension, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), has been suggested by studies indicating that treatment of immature animals with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors prevents subsequent development of hypertension. Because young SHR also demonstrate RAS-dependent increased sodium retention, we examined proximal tubule type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1R) mRNA expression in young (4 wk) or adult (14 wk) SHR compared with age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Proximal tubules were isolated by Percoll gradient centrifugation, and AT1R mRNA expression was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). At 14 wk, when SHR had established hypertension [mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of SHR vs. WKY: 145 +/- 6 vs. 85 +/- 5 mmHg, n = 14-15], there were no differences in proximal tubule AT1R mRNA levels [SHR vs. WKY: 79 +/- 14 vs. 72 +/- 14 counts/min (cpm) per cpm mutant AT1R per cpm beta-actin x 10(-6), n = 6; not significant (NS)]. In contrast, in 4 wk SHR, at a time of minimal elevations in blood pressure (MAP: 70 +/- 8 vs. 63 +/- 3), SHR proximal tubule AT1R mRNA levels were 263 +/- 30% that of WKY (143 +/- 18 vs. 60 +/- 11 cpm per cpm of mutant AT1R per cpm beta-actin x 10(-6), n = 8; P < 0.005). We have recently shown that chronic ACE inhibition decreases proximal tubule AT1R expression and have also shown that chronic L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalamine (L-DOPA) administration inhibits AT1R expression in adult Sprague-Dawley proximal tubule and cultured proximal tubule, and this inhibition is mediated via Gs-coupled DA1 receptors. When 3-wk-old animals were given L-DOPA or captopril for 1 wk, MAP was not altered (70 +/- 8 vs. 60 +/- 4 or 61 +/- 5 mmHg), but proximal tubule AT1R mRNA was no longer significantly different between SHR and WKY (68 +/- 9 vs. 38 +/- 7 or 20 +/- 3 vs. 47 +/- 15 cpm per cpm of mutant AT1R per cpm beta-actin x 10(-6)), due to a significant decrease in proximal tubule AT1R expression in SHR (P < 0.005, compared with untreated SHR). Immunoreactive proximal tubule AT1R expression also was increased in 4 wk SHR and was reversed with captopril or L-DOPA treatment. Therefore, these results indicate that young, but not adult, SHR have increased expression of proximal tubule AT1R and that chronic L-DOPA or captopril treatment decreased the elevated AT1R expression to control levels. These results provide further support for an important role of the RAS in the development of hypertension in SHR.

Abstract
In recent years, both molecular biological and immunohistochemical techniques, utilizing receptor subtype-specific probes and antibodies to cloned central nervous system dopamine receptors, have revealed their presence in a number of peripheral organs and tissues. Molecular techniques have been hindered by the low abundance of receptor mRNA in these sites, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been utilized to address this problem. However, RT-PCR is most often employed on either isolated mRNA or microdissected tissue samples, thereby limiting interpretation of whole tissue distribution. The present paper describes the use of a novel self-sustained sequence replication system (3SR) to amplify a target mRNA sequence in situ within the tissue or cell of interest that is then detected with the use of an internal labeled probe, using standard nonisotopic in situ hybridization. Specifically, D1A receptor mRNA was amplified and detected in kidney sections of Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). The amplified D1A receptor mRNA was localized to renal arterioles, juxtaglomerular apparatus, and both proximal and distal tubules. mRNA was colocalized to regions shown also to contain D1A receptor protein. D1A receptor mRNA was predominantly localized in the cortex. Specificity of D1A receptor mRNA detection was confirmed by appropriate localization in rat brain sections known to express D1A receptor mRNA. In addition, we confirmed the presence of renal D1A receptor mRNA by RT-PCR. We conclude that D1A receptor mRNA is expressed in a site-specific manner in the WKY kidney. The use of 3SR in situ permits elucidation of site specific mRNA localization in a manner not reported previously.

Abstract
Intrarenally formed dopamine induced natriuresis by inhibiting the activity of renal tubular Na/KATPase. This effect is mediated via a complex signal network, which includes inhibition of PP1 via the adenylyl cyclase-PKA-DARPP32 pathway and activation of PKC via the PLA2-arachidonic acid-20HETE pathway. The renal dopamine availability is a major determinant of the natriuretic effect of dopamine and is to a large extent modulated by the activity of COMT. The possibility that regulation of dopamine storage and release influences renal dopamine effects should be considered.

Abstract
Renal secretion of organic cations involves at least two distinct transporters, located in the basolateral and apical membranes of proximal tubule cells. Whereas the basolateral transporter has recently been cloned, sequence information about the apical type was not yet available. An organic cation transporter, OCT2p, was cloned from LLC-PK1 cells, a porcine cell line with properties of proximal tubular epithelial cells. OCT2p was heterologously expressed and characterized in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. OCT2p-mediated uptake of the prototypical organic cation [14C]tetraethylammonium ([14C]TEA) into 293 cells was saturable. There was a highly significant correlation between the Ki values for the inhibition of apical [14C]TEA uptake into LLC-PK1 cells and 293 cells transfected with OCT2p (r = 0.995; p < 0.001; n = 6). Although OCT2p is structurally related to OCT1r, the basolateral organic cation transporter from rat kidney, the transporters could be clearly discriminated pharmacologically with corticosterone, decynium22, and O-methylisoprenaline. The findings at hand suggest that OCT2 corresponds to the apical type of organic cation transporter. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction indicates that mRNA of OCT1r is limited to non-neuronal tissue, whereas OCT2r, the OCT2p homologue from rat, was found in both the kidney and central nervous regions known to be rich in the monoamine transmitter dopamine.

Abstract
Systemic and/or locally produced angiotensin II stimulates salt and water reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. In vivo, dopamine (DA) may serve as a counterregulatory hormone to angiotensin II's acute actions on the proximal tubule. We examined whether dopamine modulates AT1 receptor expression in cultured proximal tubule cells (RPTC) expressing DA1 receptors. Dopamine decreased basal RPTC AT1 receptor mRNA levels by 67 +/- 7% (n = 10; P < 0.005) and decreased 125I-angiotensin II binding by 41 +/- 7% (n = 4; P < 0.05). The DA1-specific agonist, SKF38393 decreased basal AT1 receptor mRNA levels (65 +/- 5% inhibition; n = 5; P < 0.025), and the DA1-specific antagonist, SCH23390 reversed dopamine's inhibition of AT1 receptor mRNA expression (24 +/- 10% inhibition; n = 8; NS) and angiotensin II binding (5 +/- 15%; n = 4; NS). DA2-specific antagonists were ineffective. In rats given L-DOPA in the drinking water for 5 d, there were decreases in both proximal tubule AT1 receptor mRNA expression (80 +/- 5%; n = 6; P < 0.005) and specific [125I] Ang II binding (control: 0.74 +/- 0.13 fmol/mg pro vs. 0.40 +/- 0.63 fmol/mg pro; n = 5; P < 0.05). In summary, dopamine, acting through DA1 receptors, decreased AT1 receptor expression in proximal tubule, an effect likely mediated by increased intracellular cAMP levels. Local dopamine production also led to decreased AT1 receptor expression, suggesting dopamine may reset sensitivity of the proximal tubule to angiotensin II.
