Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Renal collecting ducts maintain NaCl homeostasis by fine-tuning urinary excretion to balance dietary salt intake. This review focuses on recent studies on transcellular Cl secretion by collecting ducts, its regulation and its role in cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). RECENT FINDINGS Lumens of nonperfused rat medullary collecting ducts collapse in control media but expand with fluid following treatment with cAMP, demonstrating the capacity for both salt absorption and secretion. Recently, inhibition of apical epithelial Na channels (ENaC) unmasked Cl secretion in perfused mouse cortical collecting ducts (CCDs), involving Cl uptake by basolateral NKCC1 and efflux through apical Cl channels. AVP, the key hormone for osmoregulation, promotes cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated Cl secretion. In addition, prostaglandin E2 stimulates Cl secretion through both CFTR and Ca-activated Cl channels. SUMMARY Renal Cl secretion has been commonly overlooked because of the overwhelming capacity for the nephron to reabsorb NaCl from the glomerular filtrate. In ADPKD, Cl secretion plays a central role in the accumulation of cyst fluid and the remarkable size of the cystic kidneys. Investigation of renal Cl secretion may provide a better understanding of NaCl homeostasis and identify new approaches to reduce cyst growth in PKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or autosomal recessive PKD is caused by a mutation in the PKD1, PKD2 or PKHD1 gene, which encodes polycystin-1, polycystin-2 or fibrocystin, respectively. Embryonic and postnatal mutation studies show that transport or channel function is dysregulated before the initiation of cystogenesis, suggesting that the abnormality of transport or channel function plays a critical role in the pathology of PKD. SUMMARY Polycystin-2 by itself is a calcium-permeable cation channel, and its channel function can be regulated by polycystin-1 or fibrocystin. In this paper, we reviewed the current knowledge about calcium transports and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-driven chloride transports in PKD. In addition, the function and the underlining mechanism of glucose transporters, phosphate transporters and water channels in PKD are also discussed. KEY MESSAGES Abnormalities in calcium handling and exuberant cAMP-dependent cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-mediated fluid secretion in the collecting duct are the most important issues in the pathogenesis of PKD.

Abstract
The renal handling of Na+ balance is a major determinant of the blood pressure (BP) level. The inability of the kidney to excrete the daily load of Na+ represents the primary cause of chronic hypertension. Among the different segments that constitute the nephron, those present in the distal part (i.e., the cortical thick ascending limb, the distal convoluted tubule, the connecting and collecting tubules) play a central role in the fine-tuning of renal Na+ excretion and are the target of many different regulatory processes that modulate Na+ retention more or less efficiently. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucially involved in this regulation and could represent efficient pharmacological targets to control BP levels. In this review, we describe both classical and novel GPCR-dependent regulatory systems that have been shown to modulate renal Na+ absorption in the distal nephron. In addition to the multiplicity of the GPCR that regulate Na+ excretion, this review also highlights the complexity of these different pathways, and the connections between them.

Abstract
Cyst enlargement in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) requires the transepithelial secretion of fluid into the cyst lumen. We previously showed that physiological amounts of ouabain enhance cAMP-dependent fluid secretion and cyst growth of human ADPKD cyst epithelial cells in culture and formation of cyst-like dilations in metanephric kidneys from Pkd1 mutant mice. Here, we investigated the mechanisms by which ouabain promotes cAMP-dependent fluid secretion and cystogenesis. Ouabain (3 nM) enhanced cAMP-induced cyst-like dilations in embryonic kidneys from Pkd1 (m1Bei) mice, but had no effect on metanephroi from Pkd1 (m1Bei) mice that lack expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Similarly, ouabain stimulation of cAMP-induced fluid secretion and in vitro cyst growth of ADPKD cells were abrogated by CFTR inhibition, showing that CFTR is required for ouabain effects on ADPKD fluid secretion. Moreover, ouabain directly enhanced the cAMP-dependent Cl(-) efflux mediated by CFTR in ADPKD monolayers. Ouabain increased the trafficking of CFTR to the plasma membrane and up-regulated the expression of the CFTR activator PDZK1. Finally, ouabain decreased plasma membrane expression and activity of the Na,K-ATPase in ADPKD cells. Altogether, these results show that ouabain enhances net fluid secretion and cyst formation by activating apical anion secretion via CFTR and decreasing basolateral Na(+) transport via Na,K-ATPase. These results provide new information on the mechanisms by which ouabain affects ADPKD cells and further highlight the importance of ouabain as a non-genomic stimulator of cystogenesis in ADPKD.

Abstract
Water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is expressed at epithelial cell plasma membranes in renal proximal tubules and thin descending limb of Henle. Recently, AQP1 was reported to interact with β-catenin. Here we investigated the relationship between AQP1 and Wnt signaling in in vitro and in vivo models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD). AQP1 overexpression decreased β-catenin and cyclinD1 expression, suggesting down-regulation of Wnt signaling, and coimmunoprecipitation showed AQP1 interaction with β-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3β, LRP6, and Axin1. AQP1 inhibited cyst development and promoted branching in matrix-grown MDCK cells. In embryonic kidney cultures, AQP1 deletion increased cyst development by up to ∼ 40%. Kidney size and cyst number were significantly greater in AQP1-null PKD mice than in AQP1-expressing PKD mice, with the difference mainly attributed to a greater number of proximal tubule cysts. Biochemical analysis revealed decreased β-catenin phosphorylation and increased β-catenin expression in AQP1-null PKD mice, suggesting enhanced Wnt signaling. These results implicate AQP1 as a novel determinant in renal cyst development that may involve inhibition of Wnt signaling by an AQP1-macromolecular signaling complex.

Abstract
The principal cell of the kidney collecting duct is one of the most highly regulated epithelial cell types in vertebrates. The effects of hormonal, autocrine, and paracrine factors to regulate principal cell transport processes are central to the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in the face of wide variations in food and water intake. In marked contrast with the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule, the collecting duct is electrically tight, and ion and osmotic gradients can be very high. The central role of principal cells in salt and water transport is reflected by their defining transporters-the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), the renal outer medullary K(+) channel, and the aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channel. The coordinated regulation of ENaC by aldosterone, and AQP2 by arginine vasopressin (AVP) in principal cells is essential for the control of plasma Na(+) and K(+) concentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and BP. In addition to these essential hormones, additional neuronal, physical, and chemical factors influence Na(+), K(+), and water homeostasis. Notably, a variety of secreted paracrine and autocrine agents such as bradykinin, ATP, endothelin, nitric oxide, and prostaglandin E2 counterbalance and limit the natriferic effects of aldosterone and the water-retaining effects of AVP. Considerable recent progress has improved our understanding of the transporters, receptors, second messengers, and signaling events that mediate principal cell responses to changing environments in health and disease. This review primarily addresses the structure and function of the key transporters and the complex interplay of regulatory factors that modulate principal cell ion and water transport.

Abstract
Vasopressin modulates sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct through adenylyl cyclase-stimulated cyclic AMP, which exists as multiple isoforms; the specific isoform involved in vasopressin-stimulated sodium transport is unknown. To assess this, we studied mice deficient in adenylyl cyclase type VI specifically in the principal cells of the collecting duct. Knockout mice had increased urine volume and reduced urine sodium concentration, but regardless of the level of sodium intake, they did not exhibit significant alterations in urinary sodium excretion, arterial pressure, or pulse rate. Plasma renin concentration was elevated in knockout mice, however, suggesting a compensatory response. Valsartan significantly reduced arterial pressure in knockout mice but not in controls. Knockout mice had decreased renal cortical mRNA content of all three epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) isoforms, and total cell sodium channel isoforms α and γ were reduced in these animals. Patch-clamp analysis of split-open cortical collecting ducts revealed no difference in baseline activity of sodium channels, but knockout mice had abolished vasopressin-stimulated ENaC open probability and apical membrane channel number. In summary, these data suggest that adenylyl cyclase VI mediates vasopressin-stimulated ENaC activity in the kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that formaldehyde (FA) could be synthesized endogeneously and transient receptor potential (TRP) channel might be the sensor of FA. However, the physiological significance is still unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The present study investigated the FA induced epithelial Cl(-) secretion by activation of TRPV-1 channel located in the nerve ending fiber. Exogenously applied FA induced an increase of I(SC) in intact rat trachea tissue but not in the primary cultured epithelial cells. Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis identified TRPV-1 expression in rat tracheal nerve ending. Capsazepine (CAZ), a TRPV-1 specific antagonist significantly blocked the I(SC) induced by FA. The TRPV-1 agonist capsaicin (Cap) induced an increase of I(SC), which was similar to the I(SC) induced by FA. L-703606, an NK-1 specific inhibitor and propranolol, an adrenalin β receptor inhibitor significantly abolished the I(SC) induced by FA or Cap. In the ion substitute analysis, FA could not induce I(SC) in the absence of extracelluar Cl(-). The I(SC) induced by FA could be blocked by the non-specific Cl(-) channel inhibitor DPC and the CFTR specific inhibitor CFTR(i-172), but not by the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel inhibitor DIDS. Furthermore, both forskolin, an agonist of adenylate cyclase (AC) and MDL-12330A, an antagonist of AC could block FA-induced I(SC). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that FA-induced epithelial I(SC) response is mediated by nerve, involving the activation of TRPV-1 and release of adrenalin as well as substance P.

Abstract
In autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), renal cysts develop by aberrant epithelial cell proliferation and transepithelial fluid secretion. We previously showed that ouabain increases proliferation of cultured human ADPKD cells via stimulation of the EGF receptor (EGFR)-Src-MEK/ERK signaling pathway. We examined whether ouabain affects fluid secretion and in vitro cyst growth of human ADPKD cell monolayers, ADPKD cell microcysts cultured in a three-dimensional collagen matrix, and metanephric organ cultures from Pkd1(m1Bei) mice. Physiological concentrations of ouabain alone did not affect net transepithelial basal-to-apical fluid transport in ADPKD monolayers or growth of cultured ADPKD microcysts. In contrast, in the presence of forskolin or 8-bromo-cAMP, ouabain significantly enhanced ADPKD fluid secretion and microcyst expansion. Ouabain exerted this effect by enhancing cAMP-dependent Cl(-) secretion via the CFTR. Similarly, ouabain accelerated cAMP-dependent cyst enlargement in Pkd1(m1Bei) mice metanephroi, with a more prominent response in homozygous than heterozygous mice. Ouabain had no effect on fluid secretion and cystogenesis of normal human kidney cells and caused only slight cystic dilations in wild-type mouse kidneys. The effects of ouabain in ADPKD cells and Pkd1(m1Bei) metanephroi were prevented by inhibitors of EGFR (AG1478), Src (PP2), and MEK (U0126). Together, our results show that ouabain, used in physiological concentrations, has synergistic effects on cAMP-mediated fluid secretion and cyst growth, via activation of the EGFR-Src-MEK pathway. These data provide important evidence for the role of ouabain as an endogenous hormone that exacerbates ADPKD cyst progression.

Abstract
Little is known about collecting duct adenylyl cyclase (AC) isoforms or regulation in the mouse. We performed RT-PCR for AC isoforms 1-9 in microdissected cortical (CCD) and outer medullary (OMCD) and acutely isolated inner medullary (IMCD) collecting duct. All collecting duct regions contained AC3, AC4, and AC6 mRNA, while CCD and OMCD, but not IMCD, also contained AC5 mRNA. Acutely isolated IMCD expressed AC3, AC4, and AC6 proteins by Western blot analysis. The mIMCD3 cell line expressed AC2, AC3, AC4, AC5, and AC6 mRNA; M-1 CCD cells expressed AC2, 3, 4, and 6, while mpkCCD cell lines contained AC3, AC4, and AC6 mRNA. AVP stimulated cAMP accumulation in acutely isolated mouse IMCD; this was reduced by chelation of extracellular calcium (EGTA) and almost completely abolished by blockade of calmodulin (W-7). Blockade of calmodulin kinase with KN-93 or endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (thapsigargin) also reduced the AVP response. A similar inhibitory effect of W-7, KN-93, and thapsigargin was seen on forskolin-stimulated cAMP content in acutely isolated mouse IMCD. These three agents had the same pattern of blockade of AVP- or forskolin-stimulated AC activity in acutely isolated rat IMCD. AVP responsiveness in primary cultures of mouse IMCD was also reduced by W-7, KN-93, and thapsigargin. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) designed to knock down AC3 or AC6 in primary cultured mouse IMCD significantly reduced AVP-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Together, these data are consistent with a role of AC3 and AC6 in the activation of mouse collecting duct by AVP.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by the development within renal tubules of innumerable cysts that progressively expand to cause renal insufficiency. Tubule cell proliferation and transepithelial fluid secretion combine to enlarge renal cysts, and 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) stimulates that growth. The antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin (AVP), operates continuously in ADPKD patients to stimulate the formation of cAMP, thereby contributing to cyst and kidney enlargement and renal dysfunction. Studies in animal models of ADPKD provide convincing evidence that blocking the action of AVP dramatically ameliorates the disease process. In the current analysis, the authors reason that increasing the amount of solute-free water drunk evenly throughout the day in patients with ADPKD and normal renal function will decrease plasma AVP concentrations and mitigate the action of cAMP on the renal cysts. Potential pitfalls of increasing fluid intake in ADPKD patients are considered, and suggestions for how physicians may prudently implement this therapy are offered.

Abstract
The beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2ARs) play a role in renal Na+ regulation. Subjects homozygous for glycine at amino acid 16 (Gly16) of the beta2AR have been shown to have enhanced beta2-mediated vascular relaxation when compared to subjects homozygous for arginine (Arg16). However, Gly16 subjects have been shown to have higher blood pressure than Arg16 subjects. Given the dominant role of the kidneys in long-term blood pressure regulation, we sought to determine whether there were differences in renal Na+ handling between Gly16 (n = 17) and Arg16 (n = 14) subjects (Gly16: age, 30 +/- 2 years; body mass index (BMI), 25 +/- 11 kg m(-2); Arg16: age, 30 +/- 2 years; BMI, 25 +/- 1 kg m(-2)). We measured urinary Na+ content before and for 3 h following rapid intravenous saline infusion (30 ml kg(-1) in approximately 16 min). Prior to the infusion, there were no differences in 24-h Na+ excretion between Gly16 and Arg16 subjects (Gly16, 183 +/- 21 mmol; Arg16, 184 +/- 20 mmol); however, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly higher in Gly16 than Arg16 subjects with no differences observed in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) or mean arterial pressure (MAP) (SBP: Gly16, 117 +/- 3 mmHg; Arg16, 109 +/- 2 mmHg; DBP: Gly16, 78 +/- 2 mmHg; Arg16, 77 +/- 2 mmHg; MAP: Gly16, 90 +/- 2 mmHg; Arg16, 89 +/- 2 mmHg). With rapid saline infusion, MAP increased in both genotype groups (Gly16, 6.7%; Arg16, 3.4%; P > 0.05). In the 3 h following Na+ infusion, Na+ excretion was less in Gly16 when compared to Arg16 subjects, with a trend towards significance when expressed as total Na+ excreted (Gly16, 66 +/- 7 mmol; Arg16, 85 +/- 9 mmol; P = 0.07), and a significant difference when expressed as a fraction of the administered load (Gly16, 0.18 +/- 0.02; Arg16, 0.28 +/- 0.03; P < 0.01). These results suggest that the Arg16Gly polymorphism of the beta2AR is associated with differences in natriuretic response to rapid saline infusion, which may influence long-term regulation of blood pressure.

Abstract
In humans, subjects homozygous for arginine (ArgArg) at codon 16 of the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) have been shown to have greater agonist-mediated desensitization than subjects homozygous for glycine (GlyGly). We sought to determine if this substitution differentially influenced cardiovascular function during short duration (9 min) low and high intensity exercise (40 and 75% of peak work). Healthy Caucasian ArgArg (n = 16), GlyGly (n = 31) and ArgGly (n = 17) subjects matched for age, sex and peak oxygen uptake were studied. There were no differences in adrenaline (ADR) at rest or with heavy exercise, but the ArgArg group had lower ADR with light exercise (P = 0.04). Resting heart rate (HR) was higher in ArgArg (P < 0.01), while cardiac output (Q), stroke volume (SV), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were lower than the other groups (HR = 86+/-2, 78+/-2, 80+/-1 beats min(-1); Q = 5.7+/-0.81, 6.1+/-0.18, 6.7+/-0.22 l min(-1); SV = 68+/-3, 82+/-3, 89+/-4 ml beat(-1); MAP = 92+/-1, 103+/-2, 98+/-1 mmHg-- for ArgArg, ArgGly and GlyGly, respectively, means +/-s.e.m., P < 0.01), however, no differences were observed in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). With low intensity exercise and high intensity exercise the ArgArg group continued to have a lower , SV and MAP compared to the other groups (P < 0.05), with no differences observed in SVR. During recovery, the ArgArg subjects continued to have a lower MAP but there were no differences in HR, , or SVR. These data suggest that subjects homozygous for Arg at codon 16 of the beta2AR have reduced and MAP at rest that persist during exercise with no evidence for differential changes over the course of exercise despite large changes in catecholamines. This may suggest possible genotype-related differences in baseline receptor function or density which causes phenotypic differences at rest that are sustained during short-term exercise.
