Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect and mechanism of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on basolateral 50 pS K channels in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of the rat kidney. The TAL tubules were isolated from the rat kidney, and the activity of the 50 pS K channels was recorded using the patch‑clamp technique. The results indicated that the application of TNF (10 nM) significantly activated the 50 pS K channels and the TNF effect was concentration‑dependent. Inhibition of protein kinase A, phospholipase A2 and protein tyrosine kinase using pathway inhibitors (H89, AACOCF3 and Herbimycin A, respectively) did not abolish the stimulatory effect of TNF, indicating that none of these pathways mediated the TNF effect. By contrast, the phenylarsine oxide inhibitor against protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) decreased the activity of the 50 pS K channels and blocked the stimulatory effect of TNF on these channels. Furthermore, western blot analysis demonstrated that the application of TNF (10 nM) in the TAL increased the phosphorylation of PTP, an indication of PTP activity stimulation. Thus, it was concluded that the acute application of TNF may stimulate the basolateral 50 pS K channel in the TAL and the stimulatory effect of TNF may be mediated by the PTP‑dependent pathway.

Abstract
Romk knock-out mice show a similar phenotype to Bartter syndrome of salt wasting and dehydration due to reduced Na-K-2Cl-cotransporter activity. At least three ROMK isoforms have been identified in the kidney; however, unique functions of any of the isoforms in nephron segments are still poorly understood. We have generated a mouse deficient only in Romk1 by selective deletion of the Romk1-specific first exon using an ES cell Cre-LoxP strategy and examined the renal phenotypes, ion transporter expression, ROMK channel activity, and localization under normal and high K intake. Unlike Romk(-/-) mice, there was no Bartter phenotype with reduced NKCC2 activity and increased NCC expression in Romk1(-/-) mice. The small conductance K channel (SK) activity showed no difference of channel properties or gating in the collecting tubule between Romk1(+/+) and Romk1(-/-) mice. High K intake increased SK channel number per patch and increased the ROMK channel intensity in the apical membrane of the collecting tubule in Romk1(+/+), but such regulation by high K intake was diminished with significant hyperkalemia in Romk1(-/-) mice. We conclude that 1) animal knockouts of ROMK1 do not produce Bartter phenotype. 2) There is no functional linking of ROMK1 and NKCC2 in the TAL. 3) ROMK1 is critical in response to high K intake-stimulated K(+) secretion in the collecting tubule.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+)channels have been found to be regulated by Src family kinases(SFKs).However, how these channels are regulated by SFKs in cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) remains unknown.Here, we report that altering the activity of endogenous SFKs modulated voltage-gated Na+, but not K+, currents recorded in embryonic SGNs in culture. Voltage-gated Na+ current was suppressed by inhibition of endogenous SFKs or just Src and potentiated by the activation of these enzymes. Detailed investigations showed that under basal conditions, SFK inhibitor application did not significantly affect the voltage-dependent activation, but shifted the steady-state inactivation curves of Na+ currents and delayed the recovery of Na+ currents from inactivation. Application of Src specific inhibitor, Src40–58,not only shifted the inactivation curve but also delayed the recovery of Na+ currents and moved the voltage-dependent activation curve towards the left. The pre-inhibition of SFKs occluded all the effects induced by Src40–58 application, except the left shift of the activation curve. The activation of SFKs did not change either steady-state inactivation or recovery of Na+ currents, but caused the left shift of the activation curve.SFK inhibitor application effectively prevented all the effects induced by SFK activation, suggesting that both the voltage-dependent activation and steady-state inactivation of Na+ current are subjects of SFK regulation. The different effects induced by activation versus inhibition of SFKs implied that under basal conditions, endogenously active and inactive SFKs might be differentially involved in the regulation of voltage-gated Na+ channels in SGNs.

Abstract
Renal tubular potassium (K(+)) channels play important roles in the formation of cell-negative potential, K(+) recycling, K(+) secretion, and cell volume regulation. In addition to these physiological roles, it was reported that changes in the activity of renal tubular K(+) channels were involved in exacerbation of renal cell injury during ischemia and endotoxemia. Because ischemia and endotoxemia stimulate production of cytokines in immune cells and renal tubular cells, it is possible that cytokines would affect K(+) channel activity. Although the regulatory mechanisms of renal tubular K(+) channels have extensively been studied, little information is available about the effects of cytokines on these K(+) channels. The first report was that tumor necrosis factor acutely stimulated the single channel activity of the 70 pS K(+) channel in the rat thick ascending limb through activation of tyrosine phosphatase. Recently, it was also reported that interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) modulated the activity of the 40 pS K(+) channel in cultured human proximal tubule cells. IFN-γ exhibited a delayed suppression and an acute stimulation of K(+) channel activity, whereas IL-1β acutely suppressed the channel activity. Furthermore, these cytokines suppressed gene expression of the renal outer medullary potassium channel. The renal tubular K(+) channels are functionally coupled to the coexisting transporters. Therefore, the effects of cytokines on renal tubular transporter activity should also be taken into account, when interpreting their effects on K(+) channel activity.

Abstract
NO produced by endothelial NO synthase (NOS3) decreases sodium transport by the thick ascending limb (THAL). We found previously that 7 days of high salt (HS) increased THAL-NOS3 expression but not NO production. NOS3 phosphorylation regulates enzyme activity. We hypothesized that HS acutely increases NOS3 expression and NO production, and, over time, changes in NOS3 phosphorylation dissociate NO production from expression. NOS3 expression increased by 71+/-13%, 127+/-24%, and 69+/-16% at days 1, 3, and 7 of HS, respectively. At days 14 and 28, expression was back to normal salt. After 1 day of HS, NO production in response to 250 micromol/L L-arginine was elevated by 146% and, by day 3, returned to normal salt. Similar increases were found in response to endothelin-1. Inhibitors of NOS1/2 did not blunt the salt-induced increase in NO. Phosphorylation at Thr495, an inhibitory site, decreased by 39+/-8% at day 1 of HS and then increased by 116+/-18% at day 3. Phosphorylation at Ser633 and Ser1177 (stimulatory sites) decreased by &25% at day 1 and remained depressed at day 3. Superoxide production increased by 71% at day 1, decreased by 57% at day 3, and decreased by 55% at day 7. The NOS inhibitor L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester did not alter superoxide levels at any time point. The addition of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate and tetrahydrobiopterin had no effect on NO release after 3 days of HS. We conclude the following: (1) HS transiently increases NO production and NOS3 expression; (2) NOS3 expression and NO production are dissociated by HS; and (3) changes in phosphorylation explain how THAL NOS3 activity and expression are dissociated by HS.

Abstract
K(+) channels are widely distributed in both plant and animal cells where they serve many distinct functions. K(+) channels set the membrane potential, generate electrical signals in excitable cells, and regulate cell volume and cell movement. In renal tubule epithelial cells, K(+) channels are not only involved in basic functions such as the generation of the cell-negative potential and the control of cell volume, but also play a uniquely important role in K(+) secretion. Moreover, K(+) channels participate in the regulation of vascular tone in the glomerular circulation, and they are involved in the mechanisms mediating tubuloglomerular feedback. Significant progress has been made in defining the properties of renal K(+) channels, including their location within tubule cells, their biophysical properties, regulation, and molecular structure. Such progress has been made possible by the application of single-channel analysis and the successful cloning of K(+) channels of renal origin.

Abstract
We used the patch-clamp technique to study the effect of adenosine on the apical 70-pS K channel in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of the rat kidney. Application of 1 μM cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), an adenosine analog, stimulated apical 70-pS K channel activity and increased the product of channel open probability and channel number ( NPo) from 0.34 to 0.7. Also, addition of CGS-21680, a specific A2a adenosine receptor agonist, mimicked the effect of CHA and increased NPo from 0.33 to 0.77. The stimulatory effect of CHA and CGS-21680 was completely blocked by H89, an inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), or by inhibition of adenylate cyclase with SQ-22536. This suggests that the stimulatory effect of adenosine analogs is mediated by a PKA-dependent pathway. The effect of adenosine analog was almost absent in the TAL from rats on a K-deficient (KD) diet for 7 days. Application of DDMS, an agent that inhibits cytochrome P-450 hydrolase, not only significantly increased the activity of the 70-pS K channel but also restored the stimulatory effect of CHA on the 70-pS K channel in the TAL from rats on a KD diet. Also, the effect of CHA was absent in the presence of 20-HETE. Inhibition of PKA blocked the stimulatory effect of CHA on the apical 70-pS K channel in the presence of DDMS in the TAL from rats on a KD diet. We conclude that stimulation of adenosine receptor increases the apical 70-pS K channel activity via a PKA-dependent pathway and that the effect of adenosine on the apical 70-pS K channel is suppressed by low-K intake. Moreover, the diminished response to adenosine is the result of increase in 20-HETE formation, which inhibits the cAMP-dependent pathway in the TAL from rats on a KD diet.

Abstract
We have used Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry to determine the effect of dietary K intake on the expression of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the kidney. Western blot has demonstrated that conventional PKC isoforms (alpha and beta), novel PKC isoforms (delta, epsilon, and eta), and atypical PKC isoforms (zeta) are expressed in the renal cortex and outer medulla. Moreover, a low K intake significantly increases the expression of PKC-epsilon in the renal cortex and outer medulla but does not change the expression of PKC-alpha, PKC-beta, PKC-delta, PKC-eta, and PKC-zeta. Also, immunocytochemistry shows that PKC-epsilon isoform is expressed in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) and outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) and that the intensity of PKC-epsilon staining is higher in the kidney from rats on a K-deficient diet than those on a control diet. Also, we used the patch-clamp technique to study the role of PKC in mediating internalization of ROMK (Kir 1.1)-like small-conductance K (SK) channels induced by phenylarsine oxide (PAO), an agent that inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatase and has been shown to stimulate the internalization of the SK channel in the CCD (Sterling H, Lin DH, Qu RM, Dong K, Herbert SC, and Wang WH. J Biol Chem 277: 4317-4323, 2002). Inhibition of PKC with calphostin C and GF-109203x had no significant effect on channel activity but abolished the inhibitory effect of PAO on SK channels. In conclusion, a low K intake increases the expression of PKC-epsilon isoform in the renal cortex and outer medulla, and PKC is involved in mediating the internalization of SK channels in the CCD induced by stimulation of protein tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract
We used the patch-clamp technique to study the effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on the apical 70-pS K channel in the isolated thick ascending limb (TAL) of the rat kidney. The isolated TAL was cut open to gain access to the apical membrane. Addition of 25 nM IGF-I stimulates the apical 70-pS K channel and increases channel activity, defined by the product of channel open probability and channel number, from 0.31 to 1.21. The stimulatory effect of IGF-I is not mediated by nitric oxide- or protein tyrosine phosphatase-dependent mechanisms, because inhibition of nitric oxide synthase or blocking protein tyrosine phosphatase did not abolish the stimulatory effect of IGF-I on the 70-pS K channel. In contrast, inhibition of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase with PD-98059 or U0126 abolished the stimulatory effect of IGF-I. This suggests that MAP kinase is responsible for mediating the effect of IGF-I on the apical K channels. Moreover, the effect of IGF-I on the apical 70-pS K channel is biphasic because high concentrations (>200 nM) inhibit apical 70-pS K channels. Application of 400 nM IGF-I decreased channel activity from 1.45 to 0.2. The inhibitory effect of IGF-I is not blocked by calphostin C (an inhibitor of PKC), but inhibition of protein tyrosine kinase with herbimycin A abolished the IGF-induced inhibition. We conclude that IGF-I has a dual effect on the apical 70-pS K channel in the TAL: low concentrations of IGF-I stimulate, whereas high concentrations inhibit the channel activity. The stimulatory effect of IGF-I is mediated by a MAP kinase-dependent pathway, whereas the inhibitory effect is the result of stimulation of protein tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
Extracellular K must be kept within a narrow concentration range for the normal function of neurons, skeletal muscle, and cardiac myocytes. Maintenance of normal plasma K is achieved by a dual mechanism that includes extrarenal factors such as insulin and beta-adrenergic agonists, which stimulate the movement of K from extracellular to intracellular fluid and modulate renal K excretion. Dietary K intake is an important factor for the regulation of K secretion: An increase in K intake stimulates secretion, whereas a decrease inhibits K secretion and enhances absorption. This effect of changes in dietary K intake on tubule K transport is mediated by aldosterone-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the protein tyrosine kinase (PTK)-dependent signal transduction pathway is an important aldosterone-independent regulatory mechanism that mediates the effect of altered K intake on K secretion. A low-K intake stimulates PTK activity, which leads to increase in phosphorylation of cloned inwardly rectifying renal K (ROMK) channels, whereas a high-K intake has the opposite effect. Stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation also suppresses K secretion in principal cell by facilitating the internalization of apical K channels in the collecting duct.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that dietary K intake regulates the expression of Src family PTK, which plays an important role in controlling the expression of ROMK1 in plasma membrane (Wei Y, Bloom P, Lin D-H, Gu RM, and Wang WH. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 281: F206-F212, 2001). In the present study, we used the immunofluorescence staining technique to demonstrate the presence of c-Src, a member of Src family PTK, in the thick ascending limb (TAL) and collecting duct. Confocal microscopy shows that c-Src is highly expressed in the renal cortex and outer medulla. Moreover, c-Src and ROMK are coexpressed in the same nephron segment. Also, the positive staining of c-Src is visible in tubules stained with Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein or aquaporin-2. This suggests that c-Src is present in the TAL, cortical collecting duct (CCD), and outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD). To study the role of PTK in the regulation of ROMK membrane expression in the TAL and CCD, we carried out immunocytochemical staining with ROMK antibody in the CCD or TAL from rats on either a high-K (HK) or K-deficient (KD) diet. A sharp membrane staining of ROMK can be observed in the TAL from rats on both HK and KD diets. However, a clear plasma membrane staining can be observed only in the CCD from rats on a HK diet but not from those on a KD diet. Treatment of the CCD from rats on a HK diet with phenylarsine oxide (PAO) decreases the positive staining in the plasma/subapical membrane and increases the ROMK staining in the intracellular compartment. However, PAO treatment did not significantly alter the staining pattern of ROMK in the TAL. Moreover, the biotinylation technique has also confirmed that neither herbimycin A nor PAO has significantly changed the biotin-labeled ROMK2 in HEK293 cells transfected with ROMK2 and c-Src. We conclude that c-Src is expressed in the TAL, CCD, and OMCD and that stimulation of PTK increases the ROMK channels in the intracellular compartment but decreases them in the apical/subapical membrane in the CCD.

Abstract
Apical potassium recycling is crucial for salt transport by the thick ascending limb (TAL). Loss-of-function mutations in the K channel, ROMK (Kir1.1; KCNJ1), cause Bartter syndrome, a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by severe reduction in salt absorption by the TAL, Na wasting, polyuria, and hypokalemic alkalosis. ROMK(-/-) null mice exhibit a Bartter phenotype and lack the small-conductance (30-pS) apical K channel (SK) in the TAL. However, a distinct 70-pS K channel can also significantly contribute to the apical conductance of TAL. We now examine the effect of ROMK deletion on the functional expression of the 70-pS K channel in the TAL. Functional expression of the 70-pS K channel was low [average channel acitivty ( NPo) = 0.02] in ROMK(+/+) mice on a control K diet but increased to 0.27 by high-K intake for 2 wk. In contrast, the high-K diet decreased NPo of SK by ∼30%, from 2.04 to 1.44. In ROMK heterozygous (+/-) mice on a control K diet, SK activity was about one-half of that observed in ROMK(+/+) mice (0.95 vs. 2.04). The high-K diet also reduced SK activity in ROMK(+/-) mice by ∼40% (from 0.95 to 0.55) but increased NPo of the 70-pS K channel from 0 to 0.09 in ROMK(+/-) mice. This corresponds to ∼30% of channel activity ( NPo = 0.27) observed in ROMK(+/+) mice. Neither the 70-pS nor the 30-pS K channels were observed in TAL cells from ROMK(-/-) mice on either the normal or high-K diets. Thus functional expression of the 70-pS K channel is enhanced by increasing dietary K and requires expression of ROMK. It is likely that ROMK forms a critical subunit of the 70-pS K channel, accounting for the loss of apical K secretory channel activity in ROMK Bartter syndrome.

Abstract
TNF has been shown to be synthesized by the medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) (21). In the present study, we used the patch-clamp technique to study the acute effect of TNF on the apical 70-pS K+ channel in the mTAL. Addition of TNF (10 nM) significantly stimulated activity of the 70-pS K+ channel and increased NPo [a product of channel open probability (Po) and channel number (N)] from 0.20 to 0.97. The stimulatory effect of TNF was observed only in cell-attached patches but not in excised patches. Moreover, addition of TNF had no effect on the ROMK-like small-conductance K+ channels in the TAL. The dose-response curve of the TNF effect yielded a Km value of 1 nM, a concentration that increased channel activity to 50% maximal stimulatory effect of TNF. The concentrations required for reaching the plateau of the TNF effect were between 5 and 10 nM. The stimulatory effect of TNF on the 70-pS K+ channel was observed in the presence of N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. This indicated that the effect of TNF was not mediated by a nitric oxide-dependent pathway. Also, inhibition of PKA did not affect the stimulatory effect of TNF. In contrast, inhibition of protein tyrosine kinase not only increased activity of the 70-pS K+ channel but also abolished the effect of TNF. Moreover, inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) blocked the stimulatory effect of TNF on the 70-pS K+ channel. The notion that the TNF effect results from stimulation of PTP activity is supported by PTP activity assay in which treatment of mTAL cells with TNF significantly increased the activity of PTP. We conclude that TNF stimulates the 70-pS K+ channel via stimulation of PTP in the mTAL.

Abstract
Obstruction of the common bile duct in a variety of clinical settings leads to cholestatic liver injury. An important aspect of this injury is hepatic inflammation, with neutrophils as the prominent cell type involved. However, the pathophysiologic role of the infiltrating neutrophils during cholestatic liver injury remains unclear. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that neutrophils contribute to the overall pathophysiology by using bile duct-ligated (BDL) wild-type animals and mice deficient in the beta(2) integrin CD18. In wild-type animals, neutrophils were activated systemically as indicated by the increased expression of Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) and L-selectin shedding 3 days after BDL. Histologic evaluation (48 +/- 10% necrosis) and plasma transaminase levels showed severe liver injury. Compared with sham-operated controls (< 10 neutrophils per 20 high-power fields), large numbers of neutrophils were present in livers of BDL mice (425 +/- 64). About 60% of these neutrophils had extravasated into the parenchyma. In addition, a substantial number of extravasated neutrophils were found in the portal tract. In contrast, Mac-1 was not up-regulated and plasma transaminase activities and the area of necrosis (21 +/- 9%) were significantly reduced in CD18-deficient animals. These mice had overall 62% less neutrophils in the liver. In particular, extravasation from sinusoids and portal venules (PV) was reduced by 91% and 47%, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining for chlorotyrosine, a marker of neutrophil-derived oxidant stress, was observed in the parenchyma of BDL wild-type but not CD18-deficient mice. In conclusion, neutrophils aggravated acute cholestatic liver injury after BDL. This inflammatory injury involves CD18-dependent extravasation of neutrophils from sinusoids and reactive oxygen formation.

Abstract
We purified His-tagged ROMK1 and carried out in vitro phosphorylation assays with (32)P-radiolabeled ATP to determine whether ROMK1 protein is a substrate for PTK. Addition of active c-Src and [(32)P]ATP to the purified ROMK1 protein resulted in the phosphorylation of the ROMK1 protein. However, c-Src did not phosphorylate R1Y337A in which tyrosine residue 337 was mutated to alanine. Furthermore, phosphopeptide mapping identified two phosphopeptides from the trypsin-digested ROMK1 protein. In contrast, no phosphorylated peptide has been found in the trypsin-digested R1Y337A protein. This suggested that two phosphorylated peptides might contain the same tyrosine residue. Also, addition of c-Src and [(32)P]ATP phosphorylated the synthesized peptide corresponding to amino acid sequence 333-362 of the COOH terminus of ROMK1. We then examined the effect of dietary K intake on the tyrosine-phosphorylated ROMK level. Although the ROMK channels pulled down by immunoprecipitation with ROMK antibody were the same from rats on a K-deficient diet or on a high-K diet, more ROMK channels were phosphorylated by PTK in rats on a K-deficient diet than those on a high-K diet. We conclude that ROMK1 can be phosphorylated by PTK and that tyrosine residue 337 is the key site for the phosphorylation. Also, the tyrosine phosphorylation of ROMK is modulated by dietary K intake. This strongly suggests that PTK is an important member of the aldosterone-independent signal transduction pathway for regulating renal K secretion.

Abstract
We have previously shown that inhibiting protein-tyrosine kinase increased whereas inhibiting protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) decreased renal outer medullary potassium channel 1 (ROMK1) channel activity (1). We have now used confocal microscopy, the patch clamp technique, and biotin labeling to further examine the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in regulating ROMK1 trafficking. Human embryonic kidney 293 cells were cotransfected with c-Src and green fluorescent protein-ROMK1, which has the same biophysical properties as those of ROMK1. Patch clamp studies have shown that phenylarsine oxide (PAO), an inhibitor of PTP, decreased the activity of ROMK1. Moreover, addition of PAO reduced the cell surface localization of green fluorescent protein-ROMK1 detected by confocal microscopy and diminished the surface ROMK1 density by 65% measured by biotin labeling. Also, PAO treatment significantly increased the phosphorylation of ROMK1. The notion that the effect of PAO is mediated by stimulating tyrosine phosphorylation-induced endocytosis of ROMK1 has also been supported by findings that mutating the tyrosine residue 337 of ROMK1 to alanine abolished the effect of PAO. Finally, the inhibitory effect of PAO on ROMK1 was completely blocked in the cells co-transfected with dominant negative dynamin (dynaminK44A). This indicates that the tyrosine phosphorylation-induced endocytosis of ROMK1 is dynamin-dependent. We conclude that inhibiting PTP increases ROMK1 phosphorylation and results in a dynamin-dependent internalization of the channel.
