Insulin Resistance and High Blood Pressure: Mechanistic Insight on the Role of the Kidney. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102374. [PMID: 36289636 PMCID: PMC9598512 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The metabolic effects of insulin predominate in skeletal muscle, fat, and liver where the hormone binds to its receptor, thereby priming a series of cell-specific and biochemically diverse intracellular mechanisms. In the presence of a good secretory reserve in the pancreatic islets, a decrease in insulin sensitivity in the metabolic target tissues leads to compensatory hyperinsulinemia. A large body of evidence obtained in clinical and experimental studies indicates that insulin resistance and the related hyperinsulinemia are causally involved in some forms of arterial hypertension. Much of this involvement can be ascribed to the impact of insulin on renal sodium transport, although additional mechanisms might be involved. Solid evidence indicates that insulin causes sodium and water retention, and both endogenous and exogenous hyperinsulinemia have been correlated to increased blood pressure. Although important information was gathered on the cellular mechanisms that are triggered by insulin in metabolic tissues and on their abnormalities, knowledge of the insulin-related mechanisms possibly involved in blood pressure regulation is limited. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the cellular mechanisms that are involved in the pro-hypertensive actions of insulin, focusing on the contribution of insulin to the renal regulation of sodium balance and body fluids.

Abstract
The current paradigm of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is gluco-centric, being exclusively categorized by glycemic characteristics. The gluco-centric paradigm views hyperglycemia as the primary target, being driven by resistance to insulin combined with progressive beta cells failure, and considers glycemic control its ultimate treatment goal. Most importantly, the gluco-centric paradigm considers the non-glycemic diseases associated with T2D, e.g., obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, macrovascular disease, microvascular disease and fatty liver as 'risk factors' and/or 'outcomes' and/or 'comorbidities', rather than primary inherent disease aspects of T2D. That is in spite of their high prevalence (60-90%) and major role in profiling T2D morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the gluco-centric paradigm fails to realize that the non-glycemic diseases of T2D are driven by insulin and, except for glycemic control, response to insulin in T2D is essentially the rule rather than the exception. Failure of the gluco-centric paradigm to offer an exhaustive unifying view of the glycemic and non-glycemic diseases of T2D may have contributed to T2D being still an unmet need. An mTORC1-centric paradigm maintains that hyperactive mTORC1 drives the glycemic and non-glycemic disease aspects of T2D. Hyperactive mTORC1 is proposed to act as double-edged agent, namely, to interfere with glycemic control by disrupting the insulin receptor-Akt transduction pathway, while concomitantly driving the non-glycemic diseases of T2D. The mTORC1-centric paradigm may offer a novel perspective for T2D in terms of pathogenesis, clinical focus and treatment strategy.

Abstract
Purpose Acid-base transport in renal proximal tubules (PTs) is mainly sodium-dependent and conducted in coordination by the apical Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE3), vacuolar H+-adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase), and the basolateral Na+/HCO3- cotransporter. V-ATPase on PTs is well-known to play an important role in proton excretion. Recently we reported a stimulatory effect of insulin on these transporters. However, it is unclear whether insulin is involved in acid-base balance in PTs. Thus, we assessed the role of insulin in acid-base balance in PTs. Methods V-ATPase activity was evaluated using freshly isolated PTs obtained from mice, and specific inhibitors were then used to assess the signaling pathways involved in the observed effects. Results V-ATPase activity in PTs was markedly enhanced by insulin, and its activation was completely inhibited by bafilomycin (a V-ATPase-specific inhibitor), Akt inhibitor VIII, and PP242 (an mTORC1/2 inhibitor), but not by rapamycin (an mTORC1 inhibitor). V-ATPase activity was stimulated by 1 nm insulin by approximately 20% above baseline, which was completely suppressed by Akt1/2 inhibitor VIII. PP242 completely suppressed the insulin-mediated V-ATPase stimulation in mouse PTs, whereas rapamycin failed to influence the effect of insulin. Insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation in the mouse renal cortex was completely suppressed by Akt1/2 inhibitor VIII and PP242, but not by rapamycin. Conclusion Our results indicate that stimulation of V-ATPase activity by insulin in PTs is mediated via the Akt2/mTORC2 pathway. These results reveal the mechanism underlying the complex signaling in PT acid-base balance, providing treatment targets for renal disease.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is tightly controlled to maintain body volume homeostasis. The rate of sodium transport by collecting duct (CD) cells varies widely in response to dietary sodium intake, GFR, circulating hormones, neural signals, and local regulatory factors. Reabsorption of filtered sodium by CD cells occurs via a two-step process. First, luminal sodium crosses the apical plasma membrane along its electrochemical gradient through epithelial sodium channels (ENaC). Intracellular sodium is then actively extruded into the interstitial space by the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase located along the basolateral membrane. Mismatch between sodium entry and exit induces variations in sodium intracellular concentration and cell volume that must be maintained within narrow ranges for control of vital cell functions. Therefore, renal epithelial cells display highly coordinated apical and basolateral sodium transport rates. We review evidence from experiments conducted in vivo and in cultured cells that indicates aldosterone and vasopressin, the two major hormones regulating sodium reabsorption by CD, generate a coordinated stimulation of apical ENaC and basolateral Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Moreover, we discuss evidence suggesting that variations in sodium entry per se induce a coordinated change in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity through the signaling of protein kinases such as protein kinase A and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.

Abstract
Insulin resistance has been characterized as attenuation of insulin sensitivity at target organs and tissues, such as muscle and fat tissues and the liver. The insulin signaling cascade is divided into major pathways such as the PI3K/Akt pathway and the MAPK/MEK pathway. In insulin resistance, however, these pathways are not equally impaired. For example, in the liver, inhibition of gluconeogenesis by the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 2 pathway is impaired, while lipogenesis by the IRS1 pathway is preserved, thus causing hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. It has been recently suggested that selective impairment of insulin signaling cascades in insulin resistance also occurs in the kidney. In the renal proximal tubule, insulin signaling via IRS1 is inhibited, while insulin signaling via IRS2 is preserved. Insulin signaling via IRS2 continues to stimulate sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule and causes sodium retention, edema, and hypertension. IRS1 signaling deficiency in the proximal tubule may impair IRS1-mediated inhibition of gluconeogenesis, which could induce hyperglycemia by preserving glucose production. In the glomerulus, the impairment of IRS1 signaling deteriorates the structure and function of podocyte and endothelial cells, possibly causing diabetic nephropathy. This paper mainly describes selective insulin resistance in the kidney, focusing on the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Potassium Kir4.1/5.1 channels are abundantly expressed at the basolateral membrane of principal cells in the cortical collecting duct (CCD), where they are thought to modulate transport rates by controlling transepithelial voltage. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) stimulate apically localized epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) to augment sodium reabsorption in the CCD. However, little is known about their actions on potassium channels localized at the basolateral membrane. In this study, we implemented patch-clamp analysis in freshly isolated murine CCD to assess the effect of these hormones on Kir4.1/5.1 at both single channel and cellular levels. We demonstrated that K(+)-selective conductance via Kir4.1/5.1 is the major contributor to the macroscopic current recorded from the basolateral side in principal cells. Acute treatment with 10 μM amiloride (ENaC blocker), 100 nM tertiapin-Q (TPNQ; ROMK inhibitor), and 100 μM ouabain (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase blocker) failed to produce a measurable effect on the macroscopic current. In contrast, Kir4.1 inhibitor nortriptyline (100 μM), but not fluoxetine (100 μM), virtually abolished whole cell K(+)-selective conductance. Insulin (100 nM) markedly increased the open probability of Kir4.1/5.1 and nortriptyline-sensitive whole cell current, leading to significant hyperpolarization of the basolateral membrane. Inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase cascade with LY294002 (20 μM) abolished action of insulin on Kir4.1/5.1. IGF-1 had similar stimulatory actions on Kir4.1/5.1-mediated conductance only when applied at a higher (500 nM) concentration and was ineffective at 100 nM. We concluded that both insulin and, to a lesser extent, IGF-1 activate Kir4.1/5.1 channel activity and open probability to hyperpolarize the basolateral membrane, thereby facilitating Na(+) reabsorption in the CCD.

Abstract
Insulin induces the activation of Na,K-ATPase while translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) inhibits this enzyme and the associated pump activity. Because binding of insulin with its membrane receptor is known to mediate the phosphorylation of multiple intracellular proteins, phosphorylation of TCTP by insulin might be related to the sodium pump regulation. We therefore examined whether insulin induces TCTP phosphorylation in embryonic kidney 293T cells. Using immunoprecipitation and Western blotting, we found that insulin phosphorylates serine (Ser) residues of TCTP. Following fractionation of the insulin-treated cells into cytosol and membrane fractions, phosphorylated TCTP at its Ser residue (p-Ser-TCTP) was detected exclusively in the cytosolic part and not in the membrane fraction. Phosphorylation of TCTP reached maximum in about 10 min after insulin treatment in 293T cells. In studies of cell-type specificity of insulin-mediated phosphorylation of TCTP, insulin did not phosphorylate TCTP in HeLa cells. Computational prediction and immunoprecipitation using several constructs having Ser to Ala mutation at potential p-Ser sites of TCTP revealed that insulin phosphorylated the serine-9 and -15 residues of TCTP. Elucidations of how insulin-mediated TCTP phosphorylation promotes Na,K-ATPase activation, may offer potential therapeutic approaches to diseases associated with vascular activity and sodium pump dysregulation.

Abstract
Insulin and IGF-1 are recognized as powerful regulators of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron. As previously described, these hormones both acutely increase ENaC activity in freshly isolated split open tubules and cultured principal cortical collecting duct cells. The present study was aimed at differentiating the effects of insulin and IGF-1 on Na+ transport in immortalized mpkCCDcl4 cells and defining their interrelations. We have shown that both insulin and IGF-1 applied basolaterally, but not apically, enhanced transepithelial Na+ transport in the mpkCCDcl4 cell line with EC50 values of 8.8 and 14.5 nM, respectively. Insulin treatment evoked phosphorylation of both insulin and IGF-1 receptors, whereas the effects of IGF-1 were more profound on its own receptor rather than the insulin receptor. AG-1024 and PPP, inhibitors of IGF-1 and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity, diminished insulin- and IGF-1-stimulated Na+ transport in mpkCCDcl4 cells. The effects of insulin and IGF-1 on ENaC-mediated currents were found to be additive, with insulin likely stimulating both IGF-1 and insulin receptors. We hypothesize that insulin activates IGF-1 receptors in addition to its own receptors, making the effects of these hormones interconnected.

Abstract
Besides their growth-promoting properties, GH and IGF-1 regulate a broad spectrum of biological functions in several organs, including the kidney. This review focuses on the renal actions of GH and IGF-1, taking into account major advances in renal physiology and hormone biology made over the last 20 years, allowing us to move our understanding of GH/IGF-1 regulation of renal functions from a cellular to a molecular level. The main purpose of this review was to analyze how GH and IGF-1 regulate renal development, glomerular functions, and tubular handling of sodium, calcium, phosphate, and glucose. Whenever possible, the relative contributions, the nephronic topology, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of GH and IGF-1 actions were addressed. Beyond the physiological aspects of GH/IGF-1 action on the kidney, the review describes the impact of GH excess and deficiency on renal architecture and functions. It reports in particular new insights into the pathophysiological mechanism of body fluid retention and of changes in phospho-calcium metabolism in acromegaly as well as of the reciprocal changes in sodium, calcium, and phosphate homeostasis observed in GH deficiency. The second aim of this review was to analyze how the GH/IGF-1 axis contributes to major renal diseases such as diabetic nephropathy, renal failure, renal carcinoma, and polycystic renal disease. It summarizes the consequences of chronic renal failure and glucocorticoid therapy after renal transplantation on GH secretion and action and questions the interest of GH therapy in these conditions.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of the insulin receptor (IR) in collecting duct (CD), we bred mice with IR selectively deleted from CD principal cells using an aquaporin-2 promoter to drive Cre-recombinase expression. Young, adult male knockout (KO) mice had altered plasma and electrolyte homeostasis under high- (HS) and low-sodium (LS) diets, relative to wild-type (WT) littermates. One week of LS feeding led to a significant reduction in urine potassium (K(+)) and sodium (Na(+)) excretion in KO, and a reduction in the ratio of Na(+) to chloride (Cl(-)) in plasma, relative to WT. HS diet (1 wk) increased plasma K(+) and reduced urine Na(+) to Cl(-) ratio in the KO. Furthermore, KO mice had a significantly (P = 0.025) blunted natriuretic response to benzamil, an epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) antagonist. Western blotting of cortex homogenates revealed modestly, but significantly (∼15%), lower band density for the β-subunit of ENaC in the KO vs. WT mice, with no differences for the α- or γ-subunits. Moreover, blood pressure (BP), measured by radiotelemetry, was significantly lower in KO vs. WT mice under basal conditions (mmHg): 112 ± 5 (WT), 104 ± 2 (KO), P = 0.023. Chronic insulin infusion reduced heart rate in the WT, but not in the KO, and modestly reduced BP in the WT only. Overall, these results support a fundamental role for insulin through its classic receptor in the modulation of electrolyte homeostasis and BP.

Abstract
We examined whether carbohydrate in beverages accelerated fluid retention during recovery from thermal and exercise-induced dehydration and whether it was caused in part by an enhanced renal Na+ reabsorption rate due to insulin secretion. After dehydrating by ∼2.3% body weight by exercise in a hot environment, seven young men underwent high-carbohydrate, low-carbohydrate, or control rehydration trials by drinking one of three beverages with 3.4 g glucose + 3.1 g fructose, 1.7 g glucose + 1.6 g fructose, or 0.0 g glucose + 0.0 g fructose per deciliter, respectively, in a common composition of electrolyte solution: 21 meq/l [Na+], 5 meq/l [K+], 16.5 meq/l [Cl-], 10 meq/l [citrate(-3)]. They drank the same amount of beverage as total body weight loss within 30 min. During the 60 min before the start of drinking and the following 180 min, we measured plasma volume (PV), plasma glucose ([Glc]p), serum insulin ([Ins]s), plasma Na+ concentrations, and the renal clearances of inulin, lithium, and Na+ with plasma vasopressin ([AVP]p) and aldosterone concentrations ([Ald]p) every 30 min. After dehydration, PV decreased by ∼5% and plasma osmolality increased by ∼6 mosmol/kg H2O in all trials with no significant differences among them. We found in the high-carbohydrate trial that 1) PV increased faster than in the control trial and remained at the higher level than other trials for the last 60 min (P < 0.05); 2) accumulated urine volume was smallest after 90 min (P < 0.05); 3) the renal Na+ reabsorption rate was greatest for the first 120 min (P < 0.05); 4) during which period [AVP]p and [Ald](p) were not significantly different from other trials (both, P > 0.9); and 5) [Glc](p) and [Ins]s were highest from 45 to 105 min (P < 0.05) during rehydration. Thus carbohydrate in beverages enhances renal Na+ reabsorption, and insulin is possibly involved in this enhancement.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of changes in extracellular osmolality on the function of kidney collecting duct cells, particularly on water and sodium reabsorption in the conditions of diuresis and antidiuresis, we generated transcriptome and metabolome profiles of primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. They were grown in hyperosmolar culture medium (640 mOsm) for 4 days and then exposed to either reduced (300 mOsm) or same osmolality for 1 or 2 days more. Integrated analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome revealed that decreased extracellular osmolality was associated with decreased levels of organic osmolytes, glucose, intermediates of citric acid cycle, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in IMCD cells, along with significantly decreased gene expression and protein abundance of P-type transporters (ATP1B1), ABC transporters (ABCC5 and ABCG1), and insulin signaling pathways (IRS2). Quantitative real-time RT-PCR and semiquantitative immunoblotting confirmed the changes of transcript levels of differentially expressed genes and protein levels. Taken together, integrated analysis of omics data demonstrated that water and sodium reabsorption could be reduced by decreased extracellular osmolality per se, through decreased levels of ABC transporters and IRS2, which play a potential role in the transport of organic osmolytes, BCAA, glucose, and trafficking of epithelial sodium channel.

Abstract
We tested the effects of insulin (2 nM, 30-60 min) on principal cells of isolated split-open rat cortical collecting ducts (CCD) using whole-cell current measurements. Insulin addition to the superfusate of the tubules enhanced Na pump (ouabain-sensitive) current from 18 ± 3 to 31 ± 3 pA/cell in control and from 74 ± 9 to 126 ± 11 pA/cell in high K-fed animals. It also more than doubled ROMK (tertiapin-Q-sensitive) K(+) currents in control CCD from 320 ± 40 to 700 ± 80 pA/cell, although it did not affect this current in tubules from K-loaded rats. Insulin did not induce the appearance of amiloride-sensitive Na(+) current in control animals, while in high K-fed animals the currents were similar in the presence (140 ± 30) and the absence (180 ± 70 pA/cell) of insulin. Intraperitoneal injection of insulin plus hypertonic dextrose decreased Na excretion, as previously reported. However, injection of dextrose alone, or the nonmetabolized sugar mannose, had similar effects, suggesting that they were largely the result of vascular volume depletion rather than specific actions of the hormone. In summary, we find no evidence for acute upregulation of the epithelial Na channel (ENaC) by physiological concentrations of insulin in the mammalian CCD. However, the hormone does activate both the Na/K pump and apical K(+) channels and could, under some conditions, enhance renal K(+) secretion.

Abstract
The effect of insulin on intestinal Na(+)/K(+) ATPase is till now undetermined, and it is still unclear whether insulin exerts any modulatory effect on glucose absorption by targeting the ATPase. This work attempted to address this question and to unravel the signaling pathway involved using Caco-2 cells as a model. After an overnight starvation, cells were treated with insulin in presence and absence of specific inhibitors of some known mediators. The activity of the pump was assayed by measuring the ouabain-inhibitable inorganic phosphate (P(i)) released, whereas changes in its abundance were determined by western blot analysis. Insulin decreased the activity and abundance of the ATPase in a crude membrane homogenate. This effect disappeared completely upon inhibition of either phosphotidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) or protein kinase C (PKC), but was partially abolished when p38MAPK or MEK/ERK were inhibited separately. Activation of PKC with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) imitated the effect of insulin and was not affected by inhibition of PI3K. The data suggest that PI3K and PKC are along the same pathway that branches into two separate ones involving each either p38MAP kinase or MEK/ERK. This hypothesis was confirmed by the data obtained from the treatment of Caco-2 cells with PMA, when p38MAPK and MEK/ERK were inhibited simultaneously. Concomitant inhibition of p38MAPK and MEK/ERK abrogated fully the effect of insulin, indicating that no other pathways are present in addition to the ones proposed above.

Abstract
Sodium transport through various nephron segments is quite important in regulating sodium reabsorption and blood pressure. Among several regulators of this process, insulin acts on almost all the nephron segments and is a strong enhancer of sodium reabsorption. Sodium-proton exchanger type 3 (NHE3) is a main regulator of sodium reabsorption in the luminal side of proximal tubule. In the basolateral side of the proximal tubule, sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1) mediates sodium and bicarbonate exit from tubular cells. In the distal nephron and the connecting tubule, epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is of great importance to sodium reabsorption. NHE3, NBCe1, and ENaC are all regulated by insulin. Recently with-no-lysine (WNK) kinases, responsible for familial hypertension, stimulating sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron, have been found to be also regulated by insulin. We will discuss the regulation of renal sodium transport by insulin and its roles in the pathogenesis of hypertension in insulin resistance.

Abstract
The effect of insulin on [(14)C] 3-O-methyl-d-glucose (3OMG) absorption in the rat jejunum was studied using an in situ perfusion technique. Insulin increased apical glucose entry into the cells and decreased intestinal retention suggesting that serosal glucose transport was enhanced by the hormone. This enhanced uptake was ascribed to an increase in the expression of glucose transporters as confirmed by Western blot analysis and not to a higher sodium gradient, since insulin reduced the activity and protein expression of the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase. To separate the glycemic from the insulinemic effect on glucose transport, the effect of the hormone was investigated in vitro using cultured Caco-2 cells. The cells also showed an increase in [(14)C] 3OMG uptake and intracellular glucose levels when treated with insulin and a lower Na(+)/K(+) ATPase activity. Phloretin, an inhibitor of GLUT2 was used to determine if these transporters are targeted by the hormone. The results showed that the effect of insulin on glucose uptake and intracellular glucose was still enhanced in presence of phloretin. Considering the inhibitory effect of the hormone on the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, it was concluded that insulin acts by increasing the number of glucose transporters, a hypothesis that was confirmed by Western blot analysis.

Abstract
For decades, growth hormone (GH) has been known to influence electrolyte and water handling in humans and animals. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the GH-induced anti-natriuretic and anti-diuretic effects have remained elusive. This review will examine the existing literature on renal electrolyte and water handling following acute and chronic GH-exposure. Renal responses to GH differ in acute and chronic models. Acute application of GH results in a reduced urinary electrolyte and water excretion, whereas the chronic effects of GH are more diverse, as this state likely represents a complex mixture of primary and secondary actions of GH as well as compensatory mechanisms. During chronic GH-exposure an initial sodium retaining state often occurs, followed by a normalization of the urinary sodium excretion, although extracellular volume expansion still persists. We recently described a possible mechanism by which GH acutely increases renal electrolyte and water reabsorption, by modulation of the kidney specific Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) co-transporter (NKCC2). The primary aim of this review is to investigate how GH-induced regulation of NKCC2 may be involved in the complex renal changes previously described during acute and chronic GH. We propose, that the GH-induced increase in NKCC2 activity may explain the initial water and sodium retention seen in a number of studies. Moreover, renal changes seen during prolonged GH-exposure may now be seen on the background of the acute stimulation of NKCC2. Additionally, GH also promotes renal acidification, thus influencing renal acid/base handling. The GH-induced renal acidification is partly compatible with changes in NKCC2 activity. Finally, we review the available data on changes in hormonal systems affecting tubular transport during acute and chronic GH-exposure.

Abstract
Insulin has been shown to have antinatriuretic actions in humans and animal models. Moreover, endogenous hyperinsulinemia and insulin infusion have been correlated to increased blood pressure in some models. In this review, we present the current state of understanding with regard to the regulation of the major renal sodium transporters by insulin in the kidney. Several groups, using primarily cell culture, have demonstrated that insulin can directly increase activity of the epithelial sodium channel, the sodium-phosphate cotransporter, the sodium-hydrogen exchanger type III, and Na-K-ATPase. We and others have demonstrated alterations in the expression at the protein level of many of these same proteins with insulin infusion or in hyperinsulinemic models. We also discuss how this regulation is perturbed in type I and type II diabetes mellitus. Finally, we discuss a potential role for regulation of insulin receptor signaling in the kidney in contributing to sodium balance and blood pressure.

Abstract
Studies done in cell culture have demonstrated that insulin activates the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) via a variety of mechanisms. However, to date, upregulation of ENaC in native renal tissue by in vivo administration of insulin has not been demonstrated. To address this, we injected 6-mo-old male C57BL/CBA mice (n = 14/group) intraperitoneally with vehicle or 0.5 U/kg body wt insulin and examined short-term (1-2 h) sodium excretion and kidney ENaC subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma) and serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase (SGK-1) regulation. Insulin resulted in a significant reduction in urine sodium (by approximately 80%) that was restored by intraperitoneal administration of the ENaC antagonist, benzamil (1.4 mg/kg body wt). Differential centrifugation followed by Western blotting of whole kidney revealed significantly increased band densities (by 26-103%) for insulin- relative to vehicle-treated mice for alpha- and gamma-ENaC in the homogenate (H), and plasma membrane-enriched fraction (MF), with no difference in the vesicle-enriched fraction (VF). Similarly, beta-ENaC was significantly increased in MF (by 45%) but no change in the H. It was, however, significantly decreased in the VF (by 28%) with insulin. In agreement, immunoperoxidase labeling demonstrated relatively stronger apical, relative to cytosolic, localization of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-ENaC with insulin, whereas, with vehicle, labeling was fairly evenly dispersed throughout collecting duct principal cells. Furthermore, Western blotting showed insulin increased SGK-1 (by 75%) and phosphorylated-SGK band densities (by 30%) but only in the MF. These studies demonstrate novel in vivo regulation of renal ENaC activity and subunit proteins and SGK-1 by insulin in the acute time frame in the mouse.

Abstract
The post-macula densa segments of the renal tubule--that is, the distal convoluted tubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct--play a central role in determining final urine sodium excretion. The major regulated sodium transporters and channels in these cell types include the thiazide-sensitive (Na-Cl) cotransporter (NCC), the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and Na-K-ATPase. Furthermore, although not involved in sodium reabsorption, the anion exchanger, pendrin, and the basolateral bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC1 or BSC2) have roles in blood-volume maintenance. Mutations in several of these major sodium transporters, channel subunits, and their regulatory proteins have been linked to human diseases such as Liddle's syndrome, Gitelman's syndrome, and Gordon's syndrome, emphasizing the need for appropriate regulation of sodium at these sites for maintenance of sodium balance and normotension.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) has antidiuretic and antinatriuretic effects in rats and humans, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms behind the acute renal effects of GH in rats. Female rats received rat (r)GH (2.8 mg/kg sc) or saline and were placed in metabolic cages for 5 h. Urinary excretion of electrolytes and urinary volume were reduced after rGH injection, while urine osmolality was increased. Creatinine and lithium clearance remained unchanged, suggesting that rGH increases reabsorption in segments distal to the proximal tubule. Total plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels did not change, while cortical IGF-I mRNA abundance was increased. The relative abundance of total and Ser(256)-phosphorylated aquaporin 2 was found to be unchanged by immunoblotting, whereas a significant increase of Thr(96) and Thr(101)-phosphorylated NKCC2 (renal Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) cotransporter) was found in the inner stripe of outer medulla thick ascending limbs (mTAL). Additionally, an increased NKCC2 expression was observed in the cortical region. Immunohistochemistry confirmed these findings. The density of NKCC2 molecules in the apical membrane of mTAL cells appeared to be unchanged after rGH injection evaluated by immunoelectron microscopy. Basolateral addition of rGH or IGF-I to microperfused rat mTAL segments did not change transepithelial voltage. In conclusion, GH appears to exert its acute antinatriuretic and antidiuretic effects through indirect activation of NKCC2 in the mTAL.

Abstract
In the kidney, the collecting duct (CD) is the site of final Na+ reabsorption, according to Na+ balance requirements. In this segment of the renal tubule, principal cells may reabsorb up to 5% of the filtered sodium. The driving force for this process is provided by the basolateral Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (sodium pump). Na,K-ATPase activity and expression in the CD are modulated physiologically by hormones (aldosterone, vasopressin, and insulin) and nonhormonal factors including intracellular [Na+] and extracellular osmolality. In this article, we review the short- and long-term hormonal regulation of Na,K-ATPase in CD principal cells, and we analyze the integrated network of implicated signaling pathways with an emphasis on the latest findings.

Abstract
In the mammalian kidney the fine control of Na+ reabsorption takes place in collecting duct principal cells where basolateral Na,K-ATPase provides the driving force for vectorial Na+ transport. In the cortical collecting duct (CCD), a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) was shown to increase Na,K-ATPase activity and the number of ouabain binding sites, but the mechanism responsible for this event has not yet been elucidated. A rise in [Na+]i caused by incubation with the Na+ ionophore nystatin, increased Na,K-ATPase activity and cell surface expression to the same extent in isolated rat CCD. In cultured mouse mpkCCDcl4 collecting duct cells, increasing [Na+]i either by cell membrane permeabilization with amphotericin B or nystatin, or by incubating cells in a K(+)-free medium, also increased Na,K-ATPase cell surface expression. The [Na+]i-dependent increase in Na,K-ATPase cell-surface expression was prevented by PKA inhibitors H89 and PKI. Moreover, the effects of [Na+]i and cAMP were not additive. However, [Na+]i-dependent activation of PKA was not associated with an increase in cellular cAMP but was prevented by inhibiting the proteasome. These findings suggest that Na,K-ATPase may be recruited to the cell membrane following an increase in [Na+]i through cAMP-independent PKA activation that is itself dependent on proteasomal activity.

Abstract
To examine physical exercise-related changes in urinary excretion of protein/peptide hormones and to correlate modifications with the general increase in post-exercise proteinuria, urine C-peptide, insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and their plasma concentrations were measured. Plasma and urinary C-peptide, insulin and IGF-I before (Bex) and at the end (Eex) of physical exercise (a 2.5-hour competition, 102 km) were analysed in 20 young cyclists. At Eex compared with Bex, concentration of urinary C-peptide decreased slightly but significantly (21.3 +/- 2.7 vs. 13.5 +/- 1.7 nmol/l), but urinary insulin and urinary IGF-I concentrations significantly increased at Eex (92.5 +/- 4.2 vs. 131.4 +/- 15.7 pmol/l and 10.0 +/- 2.1 vs. 33.6 +/- 3.8 pmol/l, respectively). Plasma insulin and plasma C-peptide significantly decreased, whereas plasma IGF-I was unchanged. Urinary concentrations of total proteins and creatinine significantly increased. Both Eex urinary C-peptide/urinary protein and urinary C-peptide/urinary creatinine ratios were significantly reduced. The correlation between C-peptide and insulin in plasma was confirmed at Bex as well as Eex, but in urine only at Bex. An increased renal tubular reabsorption of C-peptide at the end of exercise might be suggested, but the expected values considering creatinine excretion were almost three times less. The Eex urinary insulin concentration was higher than expected, considering the circulation levels, but lower when compared with the expected concentration considering creatinine excretion. Physical exercise proteinuria, related to an increased protein filtration and a saturation of the mechanisms responsible for the reabsorption, does not appear similar for all peptide hormones.

Sodium and potassium-exchanging adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) in the kidney is associated with the gamma subunit (gamma, FXYD2), a single-span membrane protein that modulates ATPase properties. Rat and human gamma occur in two splice variants, gamma(a) and gamma(b), with different N termini. Here we investigated their structural heterogeneity and functional effects on Na,K-ATPase properties. Both forms were post-translationally modified during in vitro translation with microsomes, indicating that there are four possible forms of gamma. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed Thr(2) and Ser(5) as potential sites for post-translational modification. Similar modification can occur in cells, with consequences for Na,K-ATPase properties. We showed previously that stable transfection of gamma(a) into NRK-52E cells resulted in reduction of apparent affinities for Na(+) and K(+). Individual clones differed in gamma post-translational modification, however, and the effect on Na(+) affinity was absent in clones with full modification. Here, transfection of gamma(b) also resulted in clones with or without post-translational modification. Both groups showed a reduction in Na(+) affinity, but modification was required for the effect on K(+) affinity. There were minor increases in ATP affinity. The physiological importance of the reduction in Na(+) affinity was shown by the slower growth of gamma(a), gamma(b), and gamma(b') transfectants in culture. The differential influence of the four structural variants of gamma on affinities of the Na,K-ATPase for Na(+) and K(+), together with our previous finding of different distributions of gamma(a) and gamma(b) along the rat nephron, suggests a highly specific mode of regulation of sodium pump properties in kidney.

Abstract
Renal Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is associated with the gamma-subunit (FXYD2), a single-span membrane protein that modifies ATPase properties. There are two splice variants with different amino termini, gamma(a) and gamma(b). Both were found in the inner stripe of the outer medulla in the thick ascending limb. Coimmunoprecipitation with each other and the alpha-subunit indicated that they were associated in macromolecular complexes. Association was controlled by ligands that affect Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase conformation. In the cortex, the proportion of the gamma(b)-subunit was markedly lower, and the gamma(a)-subunit predominated in isolated proximal tubule cells. By immunofluorescence, the gamma(b)-subunit was detected in the superficial cortex only in the distal convoluted tubule and connecting tubule, which are rich in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase but comprise a minor fraction of cortex mass. In the outer stripe of the outer medulla and for a short distance in the deep cortex, the thick ascending limb predominantly expressed the gamma(b)-subunit. Because different mechanisms maintain and regulate Na(+) homeostasis in different nephron segments, the splice forms of the gamma-subunit may have evolved to control the renal Na(+) pump through pump properties, gene expression, or both.

Abstract
Renal sodium retention is responsible for ascites and edema in nephrotic syndrome. In puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced nephrosis, sodium retention originates in part from the collecting duct, and it is associated with increased Na,K-ATPase activity in the cortical collecting duct (CCD). The aims of this study were to evaluate whether the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) also participates to sodium retention and to determine the mechanisms responsible for stimulation of Na,K-ATPase in CCD. PAN nephrosis increased Na,K-ATPase activity in the CCD but not in OMCD. The two-fold increase of Na,K-ATPase activity in CCD was associated with two-fold increases in the number of alpha and beta Na,K-ATPase subunits mRNA determined by quantitative RT-PCR and of the total amount of Na,K-ATPase alpha subunits estimated by Western blotting. PAN nephrosis also increased two-fold the amount of Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit at the basolateral membrane of CCD principal cells, as determined by Western blotting after biotinylation and streptavidin precipitation and by immunofluorescence. The intracellular pool of latent Na,K-ATPase units also increased in size and was no longer recruitable by vasopressin and cAMP. This unresponsiveness of the intracellular pool of Na,K-ATPase to vasopressin was not the result of any alteration of the molecular and functional expression of the vasopressin V(2) receptor/adenylyl cyclase (AC) complex. It is concluded that PAN nephrosis (1) does not alter sodium reabsorption in OMCD, (2) is associated with increased synthesis and membrane expression of Na,K-ATPase in the CCD, and (3) alters the normal trafficking of intracellular Na,K-ATPase units to the basolateral membrane.

Abstract
The gamma-subunit of the Na-K-ATPase is a single-span membrane protein that alters the kinetic properties of the enzyme. It is expressed in the kidney, but our initial observations indicated that it is not present in all nephron segments (Arystarkhova E, Wetzel RK, Asinovski NK, and Sweadner KJ. J Biol Chem 274: 33183-33185, 1999). Here we used triple-label confocal immunofluorescence microscopy in rat kidney with antibodies to Na-K-ATPase alpha1- and gamma-subunits and nephron segment-specific markers. Na-K-ATPase alpha1-subunit stain was low but unambiguous in proximal segments, moderate in macula densa, connecting tubules, and cortical collecting ducts, high in thick ascending limb and distal convoluted tubules, and nearly undetectable in glomeruli, descending and ascending thin limb, and medullary collecting ducts. The gamma-subunit colocalized at staining levels similar to alpha1-subunit in basolateral membranes in all segments except cortical thick ascending limb and cortical collecting ducts, which had alpha1-subunit but no detectable gamma-subunit stain. Selective gamma-subunit expression may contribute to the variations in Na-K-ATPase properties in different renal segments.

Abstract
In an effort to identify genes involved in neuronal differentiation, we have used representational difference analysis (RDA) to clone cDNAs that are preferentially induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) vs. epidermal growth factor (EGF) in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. We now report the cloning of a previously unknown primary response gene, NID67. In addition to a robust induction by NGF and FGF, both of which cause PC12 cells to differentiate, NID67 is strongly induced by forskolin, A23187 and ATP. EGF, TPA and KCl induce NID67 only weakly. NID67 mRNA is most abundant in heart, ovary and adrenal. Modest levels are present in most brain regions, testis, thyroid, thymus, pituitary, kidney and intestine; little NID67 is present in skeletal muscle and cerebellum. The NID67 cDNA contains a 180 bp open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a 60 amino acid protein. The central 29 amino acids are very hydrophobic and very likely comprise a transmembrane domain. Mouse and human NID67 cDNAs contain an ORF similar to NID67; the rat and human protein sequences are 85% identical whereas the rat and mouse sequences are 92% identical. In vitro transcription and translation reactions confirmed that the ORF we identified produces a 6000 Da protein product. Several small membrane proteins are similar to NID67; they contain a transmembrane domain and little more. All of these proteins participate in forming or regulating ion channels. NID67 may play a similar role in cellular physiology.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is quantitatively the main contribution of kidneys to salt and water homeostasis. The transcellular reabsorption of sodium proceeds by a two-step mechanism: Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-energized basolateral active extrusion of sodium permits passive apical entry through various sodium transport systems. In the past 15 years, most of the renal sodium transport systems (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, channels, cotransporters, and exchangers) have been characterized at a molecular level. Coupled to the methods developed during the 1965-1985 decades to circumvent kidney heterogeneity and analyze sodium transport at the level of single nephron segments, cloning of the transporters allowed us to move our understanding of hormone regulation of sodium transport from a cellular to a molecular level. The main purpose of this review is to analyze how molecular events at the transporter level account for the physiological changes in tubular handling of sodium promoted by hormones. In recent years, it also became obvious that intracellular signaling pathways interacted with each other, leading to synergisms or antagonisms. A second aim of this review is therefore to analyze the integrated network of signaling pathways underlying hormone action. Given the central role of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in sodium reabsorption, the first part of this review focuses on its structural and functional properties, with a special mention of the specificity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in renal tubule. In a second part, the general mechanisms of hormone signaling are briefly introduced before a more detailed discussion of the nephron segment-specific expression of hormone receptors and signaling pathways. The three following parts integrate the molecular and physiological aspects of the hormonal regulation of sodium transport processes in three nephron segments: the proximal tubule, the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, and the collecting duct.

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
Insulin enhances Na(+)-K(+) pump activity in various noncardiac tissues. We examined whether insulin exposure in vitro regulates Na(+)-K(+) pump function in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Pump current (I(p)) was measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique at test potentials (V(m)s) from -100 to +60 mV. When the Na(+) concentration in the patch pipette ([Na](pip)) was 10 mM, insulin caused a V(m)-dependent increase in I(p). The increase was approximately 70% when V(m) was at near physiological diastolic potentials. This effect persisted after elimination of extracellular voltage-dependent steps and when K(+) and K(+)-congeners were excluded from the patch pipettes. When [Na](pip) was 80 mM, causing near-maximal pump stimulation, insulin had no effect, suggesting that it did not cause an increase in membrane pump density. Effects of tyrphostin A25, wortmannin, okadaic acid, or bisindolylmaleimide I in pipette solutions suggested that the insulin-induced increase in I(p) involved activation of tyrosine kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and protein phosphatase 1, whereas protein phosphatase 2A and protein kinase C were not involved.

Abstract
The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase catalyzes the active transport of ions. It has two necessary subunits, alpha and beta, but in kidney it is also associated with a 7.4-kDa protein, the gamma subunit. Stable transfection was used to determine the effect of gamma on Na, K-ATPase properties. When isolated from either kidney or transfected cells, alphabetagamma had lower affinities for both Na(+) and K(+) than alphabeta. A post-translational modification of gamma selectively eliminated the effect on Na(+) affinity, suggesting three configurations (alphabeta, alphabetagamma, and alphabetagamma*) conferring different stable properties to Na, K-ATPase. In the nephron, segment-specific differences in Na(+) affinity have been reported that cannot be explained by the known alpha and beta subunit isoforms of Na,K-ATPase. Immunofluorescence was used to detect gamma in rat renal cortex. Cortical ascending limb and some cortical collecting tubules lacked gamma, correlating with higher Na(+) affinities in those segments reported in the literature. Selective expression in different segments of the nephron is consistent with a modulatory role for the gamma subunit in renal physiology.

Abstract
The sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase or Na+/K+-pump) is an enzyme present at the surface of all eukaryotic cells, which actively extrudes Na+ from cells in exchange for K+ at a ratio of 3:2, respectively. Its activity also provides the driving force for secondary active transport of solutes such as amino acids, phosphate, vitamins and, in epithelial cells, glucose. The enzyme consists of two subunits (alpha and beta) each expressed in several isoforms. Many hormones regulate Na+/K+-ATPase activity and in this review we will focus on the effects of insulin. The possible mechanisms whereby insulin controls Na+/K+-ATPase activity are discussed. These are tissue- and isoform-specific, and include reversible covalent modification of catalytic subunits, activation by a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration, altered Na+ sensitivity and changes in subunit gene or protein expression. Given the recent escalation in knowledge of insulin-stimulated signal transduction systems, it is pertinent to ask which intracellular signalling pathways are utilized by insulin in controlling Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Evidence for and against a role for the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and mitogen activated protein kinase arms of the insulin-stimulated intracellular signalling networks is suggested. Finally, the clinical relevance of Na+/K+-ATPase control by insulin in diabetes and related disorders is addressed.

Abstract
Ouabain-sensitive ATP hydrolysis (Na,K-ATPase activity) was measured in digitonin-permeabilized monolayers of cultured cells derived from rabbit non-pigmented ciliary epithelium. Diminished Na,K-ATPase activity was observed in cells that had been pre-treated 10 min with the protein kinase C activator, PDBu, as well as in cells that had been cooled to 4 degrees C for 4 h then rewarmed to 37 degrees C for 30 min (cool-rewarm manoeuvre). In the intact cells, ouabain binding was not decreased either by PDBu treatment or the cool-rewarm manoeuvre. However, both PDBu and the cool-rewarm manoeuvre increased the rate of ouabain-sensitive potassium (86Rb) uptake measured in intact cells. Cell ATP content was diminished in PDBu-treated cells and cells subjected to the cool-rewarm manoeuvre. We suggest that an episode of ATP depletion might initiate a mechanism which causes lasting, partial inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity. In keeping with this suggestion, diminished Na,K-ATPase activity was observed in cells that had been pre-treated 20 min with the metabolic inhibitors CCCP or rotenone and in cells pre-treated 2.5 h in dextrose-free medium. This study illustrates that Na,K-ATPase activity measured in the permeabilized cell is a complex parameter which is not necessarily a reliable indicator of sodium pump responses in the intact cell.

Abstract
1. In the rat kidney proximal convoluted tubule, epidermal growth factor and insulin have been reported to stimulate Na+ reabsorption. Because most of the effects of these growth factors are mediated by a process of tyrosine phosphorylation and Na+,K(+)-ATPase drives Na+ reabsorption, the influence of tyrosine kinases and tyrosine phosphatases on Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity located in the proximal convoluted tubule was evaluated. 2. Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases by epidermal growth factor and insulin stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. The effects of epidermal growth factor and insulin were prevented by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but were unaffected by GF109203X, a protein kinase C inhibitor. 3. Inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases by orthovanadate (10(-7) and 10(-6)M) mimicked the effects of activation of receptor tyrosine kinases: stimulation of the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake and of the hydrolytic activity of Na+,K(+)-ATPase under rate-limiting Na+ concentration, and absence of modification of the maximal activity (Vmax) of the enzyme. The effects of orthovanadate and insulin on the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake were not additive. 4. The present results show that both activation of receptor tyrosine kinases and inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases stimulate the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity through a common mechanism. Thus, a tyrosine phosphorylation process directly controls the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity and contributes to the physiological control of water and solute reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule.
