Abstract
Na+/H+ exchangers play pivotal roles in the control of cell and tissue pH by mediating the electroneutral exchange of Na+ and H+ across cellular membranes. They belong to an ancient family of highly evolutionarily conserved proteins, and they play essential physiological roles in all phyla. In this review, we focus on the mammalian Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs), the solute carrier (SLC) 9 family. This family of electroneutral transporters constitutes three branches: SLC9A, -B, and -C. Within these, each isoform exhibits distinct tissue expression profiles, regulation, and physiological roles. Some of these transporters are highly studied, with hundreds of original articles, and some are still only rudimentarily understood. In this review, we present and discuss the pioneering original work as well as the current state-of-the-art research on mammalian NHEs. We aim to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of core knowledge and recent insights into each family member, from gene organization over protein structure and regulation to physiological and pathophysiological roles. Particular attention is given to the integrated physiology of NHEs in the main organ systems. We provide several novel analyses and useful overviews, and we pinpoint main remaining enigmas, which we hope will inspire novel research on these highly versatile proteins.

Abstract
Isoform 3 of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE3) is responsible for the majority of the reabsorption of NaCl, NaHCO3, and, consequently, water in the renal proximal tubule. As such, this transporter plays an essential role in acid-base balance and extracellular fluid volume homeostasis and determining systemic arterial blood pressure levels. NHE3 activity is modulated by a number of mechanisms, including the redistribution of the transporter between the body of the microvilli (where NHE3 is active) and the base of the microvilli (where NHE3 is less active). Although the physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological importance of the subcellular distribution of NHE3 has been well established, the exact mechanism whereby NHE3 is translocated along microvilli microdomains of the proximal tubule apical membrane is unknown. Nonmuscle myosin IIA and unconventional myosin VI move cargoes in anterograde and retrograde directions, respectively, and are known to redistribute along with NHE3 in the proximal tubule in response to a variety of natriuretic and antinatriuretic stimuli, including stimulation or inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system, high dietary Na+ intake, and high blood pressure. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the current evidence that suggests a potential role of myosin IIA and myosin VI in mediating the subcellular distribution of NHE3 along the kidney proximal tubule microvilli and their possible contribution in modifying NHE3-mediated Na+ reabsorption under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Kidney proximal tubule cells cultured under shear stress become remarkably well differentiated and endocytic capacity is rapidly tuned in response to acute changes in shear stress. The results have implications for understanding how proximal tubule function is regulated acutely by daily variations in glomerular filtration rate. Cells lining the proximal tubule (PT) have unique membrane specializations that are required to maintain the high-capacity ion transport and endocytic functions of this nephron segment. PT cells in vivo acutely regulate ion transport in response to changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to maintain glomerulotubular balance. PT cells in culture up-regulate endocytic capacity in response to acute changes in fluid shear stress (FSS); however, it is not known whether GFR modulates PT endocytosis to enable maximally efficient uptake of filtered proteins in vivo. Here, we show that cells cultured under continuous FSS develop an expanded apical endocytic pathway and increased endocytic capacity and lysosomal biogenesis. Furthermore, endocytic capacity in fully differentiated cells is rapidly modulated by changes in FSS. PT cells exposed to continuous FSS also acquired an extensive brush border and basolateral membrane invaginations resembling those observed in vivo. Culture under suboptimal levels of FSS led to intermediate phenotypes, suggesting a threshold effect. Cells exposed to FSS expressed higher levels of key proteins necessary for PT function, including ion transporters, receptors, and membrane-trafficking machinery, and increased adenine nucleotide levels. Inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) using rapamycin prevented the increase in cellular energy levels, lysosomal biogenesis, and endocytic uptake, suggesting that these represent a coordinated differentiation program. In contrast, rapamycin did not prevent the FSS-induced increase in Na+/K+-ATPase levels. Our data suggest that rapid tuning of the endocytic response by changes in FSS may contribute to glomerulotubular balance in vivo. Moreover, FSS provides an essential stimulus in the differentiation of PT cells via separate pathways that up-regulate endocytosis and ion transport capacity. Variations in FSS may also contribute to the maturation of PT cells during kidney development and during repair after kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ion transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT), which is increased in essential hypertension, is regulated by numerous hormones and humoral factors, including insulin and dopamine. Activation of dopamine receptor inhibits sodium reabsorption, whereas activation of insulin receptor increases sodium reabsorption in RPTs, and hyperinsulinemic animals and patients have defective renal dopaminergic system. We presume that there is an inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect, and the regulation is lost in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). METHODS AND RESULTS Insulin receptor expression was determined by immunoblotting, and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was detected in both Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and SHR RPT cells. Stimulation of D4 receptor with PD168077 decreased expression of insulin receptors, which was blocked in the presence of the calcium-channel blocker, nicardipine (10(-6) mol/L per 24 hours), in cell culture medium without calcium or in the presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker (2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate [2-ADB]; 10(-6) mol/L per 24 hours), indicating that extracellular calcium entry and calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum were involved in the signal pathway. Stimulation of the insulin receptor stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, whereas pretreatment with PD168077 for 24 hours decreased the inhibitory effects of insulin receptor on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in WKY cells. However, in SHR cells, inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect were lost. CONCLUSIONS Activation of D4 receptor inhibits insulin receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats. The aberrant inhibition of D4 receptor on insulin receptor expression and effect might be involved in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.

Abstract
Na(+)/H(+) exchange by Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) is a major route of sodium absorption in the intestine and kidney. We have shown previously that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a small phospholipid produced ubiquitously by all types of cells, stimulates NHE3 via LPA5 receptor. Stimulation of NHE3 activity by LPA involves LPA5 transactivating EGF receptor (EGFR) in the apical membrane. EGFR activates proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) and ERK, both of which are necessary for NHE3 regulation. However, Pyk2 and ERK are regulated by EGFR via independent pathways and appear to converge on an unidentified intermediate that ultimately targets NHE3. The p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) family of Ser/Thr protein kinases is a known effector of EGFR and ERK. Hence, we hypothesized that RSK may be the convergent effector of Pyk2 and ERK although it is not known whether Pyk2 regulates RSK. In this study, we show that Pyk2 is necessary for the maintenance of phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) autophosphorylation, and knockdown of Pyk2 or PDK1 mitigated LPA-induced phosphorylation of RSK and stimulation of NHE3 activity. Additionally, we show that RSK2, but not RSK1, is responsible for NHE3 regulation. RSK2 interacts with NHE3 at the apical membrane domain, where it phosphorylates NHE3. Alteration of S663 of NHE3 ablated LPA-induced phosphorylation of NHE3 and stimulation of the transport activity. Our study identifies RSK2 as a new kinase that regulates NHE3 activity by direct phosphorylation.

Abstract
Tightly coupled exchange of Na(+) for H(+) occurs across the surface membrane of virtually all living cells. For years, the underlying molecular entity was unknown and the full physiological significance of the exchange process was not appreciated, but much knowledge has been gained in the last two decades. We now realize that, unlike most of the other transporters that specialize in supporting one specific function, Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE) participate in a remarkable assortment of physiological processes, ranging from pH homeostasis and epithelial salt transport, to systemic and cellular volume regulation. In parallel, we have learned a great deal about the biochemistry and molecular biology of Na(+)/H(+) exchange. Indeed, it has now become apparent that exchange is mediated not by one, but by a diverse family of related yet distinct carriers (antiporters) sometimes present in different cell types and located in various intracellular compartments. Each one of these has unique structural features that dictate its functional role and mode of regulation. The biological relevance of Na(+)/H(+) exchange is emphasized by its evolutionary conservation; analogous exchangers are present from bacteria to man. Because of its wide distribution and versatile function, Na(+)/H(+) exchange has attracted an enormous amount of interest and therefore generated a vast literature. The vastness and complexity of the field has been compounded by the multiplicity of NHE isoforms. For reasons of space and in the spirit of this series, this overview is restricted to the family of mammalian NHEs.

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
The Na+/H+ exchanger-3 (NHE3) belongs to the mammalian NHE protein family and catalyzes the electro-neutral exchange of extracellular sodium for intracellular proton across cellular membranes. Its transport function is of essential importance for the maintenance of the body's salt and water homeostasis as well as acid-base balance. Indeed, NHE3 activity is finely regulated by a variety of stimuli, both acutely and chronically, and its transport function is fundamental for a multiplicity of severe and world-wide infection-pathological conditions. This review aims to provide a concise overview of NHE3 physiology and discusses the role of NHE3 in clinical conditions of prominent importance, specifically in hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, heart failure, acute kidney injury, and diarrhea. Study of NHE3 function in models of these diseases has contributed to the deciphering of mechanisms that control the delicate ion balance disrupted in these disorders. The majority of the findings indicate that NHE3 transport function is activated before the onset of hypertension and inhibited thereafter; NHE3 transport function is also upregulated in diabetic nephropathy and heart failure, while it is reported to be downregulated in acute kidney injury and in diarrhea. The molecular mechanisms activated during these pathological conditions to regulate NHE3 transport function are examined with the aim of linking NHE3 dysfunction to the analyzed clinical disorders.

Abstract
We have demonstrated that ouabain regulates protein trafficking of the Na/K-ATPase α1 subunit and NHE3 (Na/H exchanger, isoform 3) via ouabain-activated Na/K-ATPase signaling in porcine LLC-PK1 cells. To investigate whether this mechanism is species-specific, ouabain-induced regulation of the α1 subunit and NHE3 as well as transcellular (22)Na(+) transport were compared in three renal proximal tubular cell lines (human HK-2, porcine LLC-PK1, and AAC-19 originated from LLC-PK1 in which the pig α1 was replaced by ouabain-resistant rat α1). Ouabain-induced inhibition of transcellular (22)Na(+) transport is due to an ouabain-induced redistribution of the α1 subunit and NHE3. In LLC-PK1 cells, ouabain also inhibited the endocytic recycling of internalized NHE3, but has no significant effect on recycling of endocytosed α1 subunit. These data indicated that the ouabain-induced redistribution of the α1 subunit and NHE3 is not a species-specific phenomenon, and ouabain-activated Na/K-ATPase signaling influences NHE3 regulation.

Abstract
The brush border (BB) Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 is rapidly activated or inhibited by changes in trafficking, which mimics renal and intestinal physiology. However, there is a paradox in that NHE3 has limited mobility in the BB due to its binding to the multi-PDZ domain containing the NHERF family. To allow increased endocytosis, as occurs with elevated intracellular Ca(2+), we hypothesized that NHE3 had to be, at least transiently, released from the BB cytoskeleton. Because NHERF1 and -2 are localized at the BB, where they bind NHE3 as well as the cytoskeleton, we tested whether either or both might dynamically interact with NHE3 as part of Ca(2+) signaling. We employed FRET to study close association of NHE3 and these NHERFs and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching to monitor NHE3 mobility in the apical domain in polarized opossum kidney cells. Under basal conditions, NHERF2 and NHE3 exhibited robust FRET signaling. Within 1 min of A23187 (0.5 μm) exposure, the NHERF2-NHE3 FRET signal was abolished, and BB NHE3 mobility was transiently increased. The dynamics in FRET signal and NHE3 mobility correlated well with a change in co-precipitation of NHE3 and NHERF2 but not NHERF1. We conclude the following. 1) Under basal conditions, NHE3 closely associates with NHERF2 in opossum kidney cell microvilli. 2) Within 1 min of elevated Ca(2+), the close association of NHE3-NHERF2 is abolished but is re-established in ∼60 min. 3) The change in NHE3-NHERF2 association is accompanied by an increased BB mobile fraction of NHE3, which contributes to inhibition of NHE3 transport activity via increased endocytosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A major challenge in transplantation is improving long-term organ transplant and patient survival. Immunosuppressants protect the transplant organ from alloimmune reactions, but sometimes also exhibit limiting side effects. The key to improving long-term outcome following transplantation is the selection of the correct immunosuppressive regimen for an individual patient for minimizing toxicity while maintaining immunosuppressive efficacy. AREAS COVERED Proteomics and metabolomics have the potential to develop sensitive and specific diagnostic tools for monitoring early changes in cell signal transduction, regulation and biochemical pathways. Here, we review the steps required for the development of molecular markers from discovery, mechanistic and clinical qualification to regulatory approval, and present a critical discussion of the current status of molecular marker development as relevant for the management and individualization of immunosuppressive drug regimens. EXPERT OPINION Although metabolomics and proteomics-based studies have yielded several candidate molecular markers, most published studies are poorly designed, statistically underpowered and/or often have not gone beyond the discovery stage. Most molecular marker candidates are still at an early stage. Due to the high complexity of and the resources required for diagnostic marker development, initiatives and consortia organized and supported by funding agencies and regulatory agencies will be critical.

Abstract
ClC-5, a chloride/proton exchanger, is predominantly expressed and localized in subapical endosomes of the renal proximal tubule. Mutations of the CLCN5 gene cause Dent disease. The symptoms of Dent disease are replicated in Clcn5 knock-out mice. Absence of ClC-5 in mice is associated with reduced surface expression of NHE3 in proximal tubules. The molecular basis for this change is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which ClC-5 regulates trafficking of NHE3. Whether ClC-5-dependent endocytosis, exocytosis, or both contributed to the altered distribution of NHE3 was examined. First, NHE3 activity in proximal tubules of wild type (WT) and Clcn5 KO mice was determined by two-photon microscopy. Basal and dexamethasone-stimulated NHE3 activity of Clcn5 KO mice was decreased compared with that seen in WT mice, whereas the degree of inhibition of NHE3 activity by increasing cellular concentration of cAMP (forskolin) or Ca(2+) (A23187) was not different in WT and Clcn5 KO mice. Second, NHE3-dependent absorption of HCO(3)(-), measured by single tubule perfusion, was reduced in proximal tubules of Clcn5 KO mice. Third, by cell surface biotinylation, trafficking of NHE3 was examined in short hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmid-transfected opossum kidney cells. Surface NHE3 was reduced in opossum kidney cells with reduced expression of ClC-5, whereas the total protein level of NHE3 did not change. Parathyroid hormone decreased NHE3 surface expression, but the extent of decrease and the rate of endocytosis observed in both scrambled and ClC-5 knockdown cells were not significantly different. However, the rates of basal and dexamethasone-stimulated exocytosis of NHE3 were attenuated in ClC-5 knockdown cells. These results show that ClC-5 plays an essential role in exocytosis of NHE3.

D-glucose acts via sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 to increase NHE3 in mouse jejunal brush border by a Na+/H+ exchange regulatory factor 2-dependent process. Gastroenterology 2011; 140:560-71. [PMID: 20977906 PMCID: PMC3031713 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2010.10.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2010] [Revised: 09/13/2010] [Accepted: 10/15/2010] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Oral rehydration solutions reduce diarrhea-associated mortality. Stimulated sodium absorption by these solutions is mediated by the Na(+)/H(+) hydrogen exchanger NHE3 and is increased by Na(+)-glucose co-transport in vitro, but the mechanisms of this up-regulated process are only partially understood. METHODS Intracellular pH was measured in jejunal enterocytes of wild-type mice and mice with disrupted Na+/H+ exchange regulatory co-factor 2 (NHERF2-/- mice) by multiphoton microscopy. Diarrhea was induced by cholera toxin. Caco-2BBe cells that express NHE3 and the sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) were studied by fluorometry, before and after siRNA-mediated knockdown of NHERF1 or NHERF2. NHE3 distribution was assessed by cell-surface biotinylation and confocal microscopy. Brush-border mobility was determined by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and confocal microscopy. RESULTS The nonmetabolized SGLT1 substrate α-methyl-D-Glu (α-MD-G) activated jejunal NHE3; this process required Akt and NHERF2. α-MD-G normalized NHE3 activity after cholera toxin-induced diarrhea. α-MD-G-stimulated jejunal NHE3 activity was defective in NHERF2-/- mice and cells with NHERF2 knockdown, but occurred normally with NHERF1 knockdown; was associated with increased NHE3 surface expression in Caco-2 cells, which also was NHERF2-dependent; was associated with dissociation of NHE3 from NHERF2 and an increase in the NHE3 mobile fraction from the brush border; and was accompanied by a NHERF2 ezrin-radixin-moesin-binding domain-dependent increase in co-precipitation of ezrin with NHE3. CONCLUSIONS SGLT1-mediated Na-glucose co-transport stimulates NHE3 activity in vivo by an Akt- and NHERF2-dependent signaling pathway. It is associated with increased brush-border NHE3 and association between ezrin and NHE3. Activation of NHE3 corrects cholera toxin-induced defects in Na absorption and might contribute to the efficacy of oral rehydration solutions.

Abstract
The proximal tubule is critical for whole-organism volume and acid-base homeostasis by reabsorbing filtered water, NaCl, bicarbonate, and citrate, as well as by excreting acid in the form of hydrogen and ammonium ions and producing new bicarbonate in the process. Filtered organic solutes such as amino acids, oligopeptides, and proteins are also retrieved by the proximal tubule. Luminal membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchangers either directly mediate or indirectly contribute to each of these processes. Na(+)/H(+) exchangers are a family of secondary active transporters with diverse tissue and subcellular distributions. Two isoforms, NHE3 and NHE8, are expressed at the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule. NHE3 is the prevalent isoform in adults, is the most extensively studied, and is tightly regulated by a large number of agonists and physiological conditions acting via partially defined molecular mechanisms. Comparatively little is known about NHE8, which is highly expressed at the lumen of the neonatal proximal tubule and is mostly intracellular in adults. This article discusses the physiology of proximal Na(+)/H(+) exchange, the multiple mechanisms of NHE3 regulation, and the reciprocal relationship between NHE3 and NHE8 at the lumen of the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Hypertension provokes differential trafficking of the renal proximal tubule Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) to the base of the apical microvilli and Na(+)-P(i) cotransporter 2 (NaPi2) to endosomes. The resultant diuresis and natriuresis are key to blood pressure control. We tested the hypothesis that this differential trafficking of NHE3 vs. NaPi2 was associated with partitioning to distinct membrane domains. In anesthetized rats, arterial pressure was increased (104 +/- 2 to 142 +/- 4 mmHg, 15 min) by arterial constriction and urine output increased 23-fold. Renal membranes were fractionated by cold 1% Triton X-100 extraction then centrifugation through OptiPrep flotation gradients. In controls, 84 +/- 9% of NHE3 localized to flotillin-enriched lipid raft domains and 69 +/- 5% of NaPi2 localized to transferrin receptor-enriched nonrafts. MyosinVI and dipeptidyl peptidase IV, associated with NHE3 regulation, coenriched in lipid rafts with NHE3, while NHE regulatory factor-1 coenriched in nonrafts with NaPi2. Partitioning was not altered by hypertension. Detergent insoluble membranes were pelleted after detergent extraction. NHE3 detergent insolubility decreased as it redistributed from body (80 +/- 10% detergent insoluble) to base (75 +/- 3%) of the apical microvilli, while NaPi2 partitioned into more insoluble domains as it moved from the microvilli (45 +/- 7% detergent insoluble) to endosomes (82 +/- 1%). In conclusion, NHE3 and NaPi2, while both localized to apical microvilli, are segregated into domains: NHE3 to lipid rafts and NaPi2 to nonrafts. These domain properties may play a role in the distinct trafficking patterns observed during elevated pressures: NHE3 remains in rafts and settles to the base of the microvilli while NaPi2 is freely endocytosed.

Abstract
The long-term effects of ouabain on transepithelial Na(+) transport involve transcriptional downregulation of apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3). The aim of this study was to determine whether ouabain could acutely regulate NHE3 via a posttranscriptional mechanism in LLC-PK1 cells. We observed that the basolateral, but not apical, application of ouabain for 1 h significantly reduced transepithelial Na(+) transport. This effect was not due to changes in the integrity of tight junctions or increases in the intracellular Na(+) concentration. Ouabain regulated the trafficking of NHE3 and subsequently inhibited its activity, a process independent of intracellular Na(+) concentration. Ouabain-induced NHE3 trafficking was abolished by either cholesterol depletion or Src inhibition. Moreover, ouabain increased the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Pretreatment of cells with the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM blocked ouabain-induced trafficking of NHE3. Also, blockade of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase endocytosis by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor was equally effective in attenuating ouabain-induced NHE3 trafficking. These data indicate that ouabain acutely stimulates NHE3 trafficking by activating the basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase signaling complex. Taken together with our previous observations, we propose that ouabain can simultaneously regulate basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and apical NHE3, leading to inhibition of transepithelial Na(+) transport. This mechanism may be relevant to proximal tubular Na(+) handling during conditions associated with increases in circulating endogenous cardiotonic steroids.

Abstract
Exposure to an acid load increases apical membrane Na+/H+ antiporter (NHE3) activity, a process that involves exocytic trafficking of the transporter to the apical membrane. We have previously shown that an intact microfilament structure is required for this exocytic process (Yang X, Amemiya M, Peng Y, Moe OW, Preisig PA, Alpern RJ. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 279: C410–C419, 2000). The present studies demonstrate that acid-induced stress fiber formation is required for stimulation of NHE3 activity. Formation of stress fibers is associated with acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and increases in protein abundance of two focal adhesion proteins, p125FAK and paxillin. The Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 completely blocks acid-induced stress fiber formation and the increases in apical membrane NHE3 abundance and activity, but it has no effect on acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK or paxillin. Herbimycin A completely blocks acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin but only partially blocks stress fiber formation and NHE3 activation. These studies demonstrate that Rho kinase mediates acid-induced stress fiber formation, which is required for NHE3 exocytosis, and increases in NHE3 activity. Acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion proteins p125FAK and paxillin is not Rho kinase dependent. Thus these two acid-mediated effects are associated, yet independent processes.

Abstract
AIM The goal of this work is to understand the cellular effects of advanced glycation end product (AGE)-modified protein on renal proximal tubule cells. BACKGROUND A major function of the proximal tubule is to reabsorb and process filtered proteins. Diabetes is characterized by increased quantities of tissue and circulating proteins modified by AGEs. Therefore in diabetes, plasma proteins filtered at the glomerulus and presented to the renal proximal tubule are likely to be highly modified by AGEs. METHODS The model system was electrically resistant polarized renal proximal tubular epithelial cells in monolayer culture. The model proteins comprise a well-characterized AGE, methylglyoxal-modified bovine serum albumin (MGO-BSA), and unmodified BSA. RESULTS Renal proximal tubular cells handle MGO-BSA and native BSA in markedly disparate ways, including differences in: (1) kinetics of binding, uptake, and intracellular accumulation, (2) processing and fragmentation, and (3) patterns of electrical conductance paralleling temporal changes in binding, uptake and processing. CONCLUSION These differences support the idea that abnormal protein processing by the renal tubule can be caused by abnormal proteins, thereby forging a conceptual link between the pathogenic role of AGEs and early changes in tubular function that can lead to hypertrophy and nephropathy in diabetes.

Abstract
NHE3 is the brush-border (BB) Na+/H+exchanger of small intestine, colon, and renal proximal tubule which is involved in large amounts of neutral Na+absorption. NHE3 is a highly regulated transporter, being both stimulated and inhibited by signaling that mimics the postprandial state. It also undergoes downregulation in diarrheal diseases as well as changes in renal disorders. For this regulation, NHE3 exists in large, multiprotein complexes in which it associates with at least nine other proteins. This review deals with short-term regulation of NHE3 and the identity and function of its recognized interacting partners and the multiprotein complexes in which NHE3 functions.

Abstract
The multi-PDZ domain containing protein Na(+)/H(+) Exchanger Regulatory Factor 1 (NHERF1) binds to Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) and is associated with the brush border (BB) membrane of murine kidney and small intestine. Although studies in BB isolated from kidney cortex of wild type and NHERF1(-/-) mice have shown that NHERF1 is necessary for cAMP inhibition of NHE3 activity, a role of NHERF1 in NHE3 regulation in small intestine and in intact kidney has not been established. Here a method using multi-photon microscopy with the pH-sensitive dye SNARF-4F (carboxyseminaphthorhodafluors-4F) to measure BB NHE3 activity in intact murine tissue and use it to examine the role of NHERF1 in regulation of NHE3 activity. NHE3 activity in wild type and NHERF1(-/-) ileum and wild type kidney cortex were inhibited by cAMP, whereas the cAMP effect was abolished in kidney cortex of NHERF1(-/-) mice. cAMP inhibition of NHE3 activity in these two tissues is mediated by different mechanisms. In ileum, a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent mechanism accounts for all cAMP inhibition of NHE3 activity since the PKA antagonist H-89 abolished the inhibitory effect of cAMP. In kidney, both PKA-dependent and non-PKA-dependent mechanisms were involved, with the latter reproduced by the effect on an EPAC (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) agonist (8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-2'O-Me-cAMP). In contrast, the EPAC agonist had no effect in proximal tubules in NHERF1(-/-) mice. These data suggest that in proximal tubule, NHERF1 is required for all cAMP inhibition of NHE3, which occurs through both EPAC-dependent and PKA-dependent mechanisms; in contrast, cAMP inhibits ileal NHE3 only by a PKA-dependent pathway, which is independent of NHERF1 and EPAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dopamine is a major regulator of sodium reabsorption in proximal tubule epithelia. By binding to D1-receptors, dopamine induces endocytosis of plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase, resulting in a reduced capacity of the cells to transport sodium, thus contributing to natriuresis. We have previously demonstrated several aspects of the molecular mechanism by which dopamine induces Na,K-ATPase endocytosis; however, the location of intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules has not been identified. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In this study, we used different approaches to determine the localization of Na,K-ATPase-containing intracellular compartments. By expression of fluorescent-tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules in opossum kidney cells, a cell culture model of proximal tubule epithelia, we used fluorescence microscopy to determine cellular distribution of the fluorescent molecules and the effects of dopamine on this distribution. By labelling cell surface Na,K-ATPase molecules from the cell exterior with either biotin or an epitope-tagged antibody, we determined the localization of the tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules after endocytosis induced by dopamine. KEY RESULTS In cells expressing fluorescent-tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules, there were intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules. These compartments were in very close proximity to the plasma membrane. Upon treatment of the cells with dopamine, the fluorescence labelling of these compartments was increased. The labelling of these compartments was also observed when the endocytosis of biotin- or antibody-tagged plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase molecules was induced by dopamine. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules are located just underneath the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The constitutive reuptake of albumin from the glomerular filtrate by receptor-mediated endocytosis is a key function of the renal proximal tubules. Both the Cl- channel ClC-5 and the Na+-H+ exchanger isoform 3 are critical components of the macromolecular endocytic complex that is required for albumin uptake, and therefore the cell-surface levels of these proteins may limit albumin endocytosis. This study was undertaken to investigate the potential roles of the epithelial PDZ scaffolds, Na+-H+ exchange regulatory factors, NHERF1 and NHERF2, in albumin uptake by opossum kidney (OK) cells. We found that ClC-5 co-immunoprecipitates with NHERF2 but not NHERF1 from OK cell lysate. Experiments using fusion proteins demonstrated that this was a direct interaction between an internal binding site in the C terminus of ClC-5 and the PDZ2 module of NHERF2. In OK cells, NHERF2 is restricted to the intravillar region while NHERF1 is located in the microvilli. Silencing NHERF2 reduced both cell-surface levels of ClC-5 and albumin uptake. Conversely, silencing NHERF1 increased cell-surface levels of ClC-5 and albumin uptake, presumably by increasing the mobility of NHE3 in the membrane and its availability to the albumin uptake complex. Surface biotinylation experiments revealed that both NHERF1 and NHERF2 were associated with the plasma membrane and that NHERF2 was recruited to the membrane in the presence of albumin. The importance of the interaction between NHERF2 and the cytoskeleton was demonstrated by a significant reduction in albumin uptake in cells overexpressing an ezrin binding-deficient mutant of NHERF2. Thus NHERF1 and NHERF2 differentially regulate albumin uptake by mechanisms that ultimately alter the cell-surface levels of ClC-5.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by increased quantities of circulating proteins modified by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Proteins filtered at the glomerulus and presented to the renal proximal tubule are likely to be highly modified by AGEs. The proximal tubule binds, takes up, and catabolizes AGE-modified albumin by pathways different from those of unmodified albumin. These differences were examined in polarized, electrically resistant proximal tubular cells grown in monolayer culture. In patients with type 1 diabetes, urinary excretion of a lysosomal enzyme predicted the development of nephropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Na/H exchangers (NHEs) are ubiquitous proteins with a very wide array of physiological functions, and they are summarized in this paper in view of the most recent advances. Hypertension and organ ischemia are two disease states of paramount importance in which NHEs have been implicated. The involvement of NHEs in the pathophysiology of these disorders is incompletely understood. This paper reviews the principal findings and current hypotheses linking NHE dysfunction to hypertension and ischemia. RECENT FINDINGS With the advent of large-scale sequencing projects and powerful in-silico analyses, we have come to know what is most likely the entire mammalian NHE gene family. Recent advances have detailed the roles of NHE proteins, exploring new functions such as anchoring, scaffolding and pH regulation of intracellular compartments. Studies of NHEs in disease models, even though not conclusive to date, have contributed new evidence on the interplay of ion transporters and the delicate ion balances that may become disrupted. SUMMARY This paper provides the interested reader with a concise overview of NHE physiology, and aims to address the implication of NHEs in the pathophysiology of hypertension and organ ischemia in light of the most recent literature.

Recent studies have shown that accessory proteins that interact with the apical Na(+)/H+ exchanger NHE3 are a vital part of the dynamic nature of the Na(+)/H+ exchanger regulation. We have identified MAST205, a microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase with a molecular mass of 205 kDa that interacts with NHE3. MAST205 contains a S/T kinase domain and a PDZ domain that mediates interaction with NHE3. Northern blot analysis showed that MAST205 is highly expressed in human and rat kidney. Expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells showed that MAST205 is predominantly expressed in the apical membrane of the cells. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the presence of MAST205 at the apical region of the renal proximal tubules. Heterologous expression of MAST205 in OK cells inhibited endogenous NHE3 activity, and this inhibition required the presence of the kinase domain of MAST205, since deletion of the kinase domain or a dominant-negative mutant of MAST205 did not affect the activity of NHE3. Consistent with these results, we found that MAST205 phosphorylated NHE3 under in vitro conditions. However, overexpression of MAST205 did not affect expression of NHE3 proteins, suggesting that the effect of MAST205 was not mediated by a decrease in NHE3 expression. These findings suggest that MAST205 regulates NHE3 activity and, although the precise mechanism is yet to be determined, MAST205 appears to inhibit NHE3 activity through a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids have important effects on renal function, including the modulation of renal acidification by the major proximal tubular Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, NHE3. While the chronic effect of glucocorticoids is considered to be primarily at the transcriptional level, with increases in NHE3 mRNA and protein expression driving increased transport activity, the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids activate NHE3 in an acute setting have not been investigated. Previous studies have shown that a glucocorticoid-stimulated increase in NHE3 activity can occur before any detectable change in NHE3 mRNA. The present study examines the acute effects of glucocorticoids on NHE3 using opossum kidney (OKP) cells as a cell model. In OKP cells, total NHE3 protein abundance was not changed by 3 h of treatment with dexamethasone (10(-6) M). However, the biotin-accessible fraction representing NHE3 at the apical membrane as well as Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity measured fluorimetrically using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF-AM were significantly increased. These effects were not prevented by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. NHE3 insertion (biotinylatable NHE3 after sulfo-NHS-acetate blockade) was stimulated by dexamethasone incubation, with or without cycloheximide. The rate of NHE3 endocytic retrieval, assessed either by the avidin protection assay (early endocytosis) or by the sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (MesNa) cleavage assay (early and late endocytosis), was not affected by dexamethasone. These findings suggest that trafficking plays a key role in the acute stimulation of NHE3 by glucocorticoids, with exocytosis being the major contributor to the glucocorticoid-induced rapid increase in cell surface NHE3 protein abundance and Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity.

Abstract
We previously reported that Na+/H+exchanger type 3 (NHE3) and NaPi2 are acutely retracted from the proximal tubule (PT) microvilli (MV) during acute hypertension [high blood pressure (BP)] or parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment. By subcellular membrane fractionation, NHE3 and NaPi2 show indistinguishable redistribution patterns out of light-density into heavy-density membranes in response to either treatment consistent with a retraction from the apical MV to the intermicrovillar cleft region. This study aimed to examine the redistribution of PT NHE3 vs. NaPi2 by confocal and electron microscopy during high BP and during PTH treatment to determine whether their respective destinations overlap or are distinct. High-BP protocol: systolic BP was increased 50–60 mmHg by increasing peripheral resistance for 20 min; PTH protocol: rats were infused with 6.6 μg/kg iv of PTH followed by 0.1 μg·kg−1·min−1infusion for 1 h. For light microscopy, rats were infused with 25 mg of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) 10 min before kidney fixation. Kidney slices were dual labeled with either NHE3 or NaPi2 and either clathrin-coated vesicle adaptor protein AP2 or endosome marker HRP. The results demonstrate retraction of NHE3 from the MV to the base of MV during either high-BP or PTH treatment: NHE3 staining did not retract below the AP2-stained domain or to HRP-labeled endosomes in either model. In comparison, NaPi2 was retracted from MV to below the AP2-stained region in both models, a little colocalizing with HRP staining. At the electron microscopic level with immunogold labeling, during high BP NHE3 was concentrated in a distinct domain in the base of the MV while NaPi2 moved to endosomes. The results demonstrate that there are divergent routes of retraction of PT NHE3 and NaPi2 from the MV during acute hypertension or PTH treatment: NHE3 is not internalized but remains at the base of the MV while NaPi2 is internalized.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease is initially associated with hypertension and increased urinary albumin excretion. The hypertension is mediated by enhanced volume expansion due to enhanced salt and water retention by the kidney. The increased urinary albumin is not only due to increased glomerular leak, but also to a decrease in albumin reabsorption by the proximal tubule. The precise molecular mechanisms underlying these two phenomena and whether there is any link between the increase in Na(+) retention and proteinuria remain unresolved. There is significant evidence to suggest that increased Na(+) retention by the proximal tubule Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) can play a role in some forms of hypertension. Increased NHE3 activity in models of diabetes mellitus may explain, in part, the enhanced salt retention observed in patients with diabetic kidney disease. The NHE3 also plays a role in receptor-mediated albumin uptake in the proximal tubule. The uptake of albumin requires the assembly of a macromolecular complex that is thought to include the megalin/cubulin receptor, NHE3, the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase (v-H(+)-ATPase), the Cl(-) channel ClC-5 and interactions with the actin cytoskeleton. The NHE3 seems to exist in two functionally distinct membrane domains, one involved with Na(+) reabsorption and the other involved in albumin uptake. The present review focuses on the evidence derived from in vivo studies, as well as complementary studies in cell culture models, for a dual role of NHE3 in both Na(+) retention and albumin uptake. We suggest a possible mechanism by which disruption of the proximal tubule albumin uptake mechanism in diabetes mellitus may lead to both increased Na(+) retention and proteinuria.
