Formation mechanism, prevention of malignant ascites effusion and reduction of intestinal mucosal irritation of natural microemulsion from Euphorbia lathyris Pulveratum. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 178:117253. [PMID: 39111084 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Malignant ascites effusion (MAE) is a common complication of advanced malignant tumors with limited treatments. Euphorbia lathyris (EL) has a long history of application in patients with edema and ascites. Herein, we reported for the first time a mode in which EL and EL Pulveratum (PEL) spontaneously formed natural microemulsions (ELM and PELM) without the addition of any carriers and excipients, and found that the protein and phospholipid contained in them encapsulated fatty oil and diterpenoid esters through non-covalent interactions. The denaturation and degradation of protein in PELM resulted in stronger binding of diterpenoid esters to the hydrophobic region of protein, which facilitated the sustained and slow release of diterpenoid esters and improved their bioavailability in vivo, thereby retaining the efficacy of preventing MAE while alleviating the irritation of intestinal mucosa. The mechanism by which PELM retained efficacy might be related to increased feces moisture and urine volume, and decreased expression of AVPR2, cAMP, PKA and AQP3 in MAE mice. And its mechanism of reducing intestinal mucosal irritation was related to decreased cell apoptosis, amelioration of oxidative stress, elevation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and up-regulation of Occludin and Claudin-1 expression in IEC-6 cells. This nano-adjuvant-free natural microemulsions may be a promising therapeutic strategy in the field of phytochemistry for promoting the application of natural and efficient nano-aggregates spontaneously formed by medicinal plants in MAE, and provide a new perspective for advancing the development of the fusion of Chinese herbal medicine and nanomedicine and its clinical translation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a steady decline in kidney function and affects roughly 10% of the world's population. This review focuses on the critical function of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling in CKD, specifically how it influences both protective and pathogenic processes in the kidney. cAMP, a critical secondary messenger, controls a variety of cellular functions, including transcription, metabolism, mitochondrial homeostasis, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Its compartmentalization inside cellular microdomains ensures accurate signaling. In kidney physiology, cAMP is required for hormone-regulated activities, particularly in the collecting duct, where it promotes water reabsorption through vasopressin signaling. Several illnesses, including Fabry disease, renal cell carcinoma, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, Bartter syndrome, Liddle syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and renal tubular acidosis, have been linked to dysfunction in the cAMP system. Both cAMP analogs and phosphodiesterase inhibitors have the potential to improve kidney function and reduce kidney damage. Future research should focus on developing targeted PDE inhibitors for the treatment of CKD.

Abstract
The advent of modern quantitative protein mass spectrometry techniques around the turn of the 21st century has contributed to a revolution in biology referred to as 'systems biology'. These methods allow identification and quantification of thousands of proteins in a biological specimen, as well as detection and quantification of post-translational protein modifications including phosphorylation. Here, we discuss these methodologies and show how they can be applied to understand the effects of the peptide hormone vasopressin to regulate the molecular water channel aquaporin-2. The emerging picture provides a detailed framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in water balance disorders.

Abstract
High concentrations of urinary calcium counteract vasopressin action via the activation of the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) expressed in the luminal membrane of the collecting duct cells, which impairs the trafficking of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). In line with these findings, we provide evidence that, with respect to wild-type mice, CaSR knock-in (KI) mice mimicking autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia, display a significant decrease in the total content of AQP2 associated with significantly higher levels of AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser261, a phosphorylation site involved in AQP2 degradation. Interestingly, KI mice also had significantly higher levels of phosphorylated p38MAPK, a downstream effector of CaSR and known to phosphorylate AQP2 at Ser261. Moreover, ATF1 phosphorylated at Ser63, a transcription factor downstream of p38MAPK, was significantly higher in KI. In addition, KI mice had significantly higher levels of AQP2-targeting miRNA137 consistent with a post-transcriptional downregulation of AQP2. In vivo treatment of KI mice with the calcilytic JTT-305, a CaSR antagonist, increased AQP2 expression and reduced AQP2-targeting miRNA137 levels in KI mice. Together, these results provide direct evidence for a critical role of CaSR in impairing both short-term vasopressin response by increasing AQP2-pS261, as well as AQP2 abundance, via the p38MAPK-ATF1-miR137 pathway. KEY POINTS: Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) activating mutations are the main cause of autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia (ADH) characterized by inappropriate renal calcium excretion leading to hypocalcaemia and hypercalciuria. Current treatments of ADH patients with parathyroid hormone, although improving hypocalcaemia, do not improve hypercalciuria or nephrocalcinosis. In vivo treatment with calcilytic JTT-305/MK-5442 ameliorates most of the ADH phenotypes of the CaSR knock-in mice including hypercalciuria or nephrocalcinosis and reverses the downregulation of the vasopressin-sensitive aquaporin-2 (AQP2) expression, providing direct evidence for a critical role of CaSR in impairing vasopressin response. The beneficial effect of calcilytic in reducing the risk of renal calcification may occur in a parathyroid hormone-independent action through vasopressin-dependent inhibition of cAMP synthesis in the thick ascending limb and in the collecting duct. The amelioration of most of the abnormalities in calcium metabolism including hypercalciuria, renal calcification, and AQP2-mediated osmotic water reabsorption makes calcilytic a good candidate as a novel therapeutic agent for ADH.

Abstract
Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a member of the aquaporin water channel family. In the kidney, AQP2 is expressed in collecting duct principal cells where it facilitates water reabsorption in response to antidiuretic hormone (arginine vasopressin, AVP). AVP induces the redistribution of AQP2 from intracellular vesicles and its incorporation into the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane insertion of AQP2 represents the crucial step in AVP-mediated water reabsorption. Dysregulation of the system preventing the AQP2 plasma membrane insertion causes diabetes insipidus (DI), a disease characterised by an impaired urine concentrating ability and polydipsia. There is no satisfactory treatment of DI available. This review discusses kinases that control the localisation of AQP2 and points out potential kinase-directed targets for the treatment of DI.

Abstract
Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is a vasopressin (VP)-regulated water channel in the renal collecting duct. Phosphorylation and ubiquitylation of AQP2 play an essential role in controlling the cellular abundance of AQP2 and its accumulation on the plasma membrane in response to VP. Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) are multisubunit E3 ligases involved in ubiquitylation and degradation of their target proteins, eight of which are expressed in the collecting duct. Here, we used an established cell model of the collecting duct (mpkCCD14 cells) to study the role of cullins in modulating AQP2. Western blotting identified Cul-1 to Cul-5 in mpkCCD14 cells. Treatment of cells for 4 h with a pan-cullin inhibitor (MLN4924) decreased AQP2 abundance, prevented a VP-induced reduction in AQP2 Ser261 phosphorylation, and attenuated VP-induced plasma membrane accumulation of AQP2 relative to the vehicle. AQP2 ubiquitylation levels were significantly higher after MLN4924 treatment compared with controls, and they remained higher despite VP treatment. Cullin inhibition increased ERK1/2 activity, a kinase that regulates AQP2 Ser261 phosphorylation, and VP-induced reductions in ERK1/2 phosphorylation were absent during MLN4924 treatment. Furthermore, the greater Ser261 phosphorylation and reduction in AQP2 abundance during MLN4924 treatment were attenuated during ERK1/2 inhibition. MLN4924 increased intracellular calcium levels via calcium release-activated calcium channels, inhibition of which abolished MLN4924 effects on Ser261 phosphorylation and AQP2 abundance. In conclusion, CRLs play a vital role in mediating some of the effects of VP to increase AQP2 plasma membrane accumulation and AQP2 abundance. Whether modulation of cullin activity can contribute to body water homeostasis requires further studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is essential for body water homeostasis and is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. The posttranslational modification ubiquitylation is a key regulator of AQP2 abundance and plasma membrane localization. Here we demonstrate that cullin-RING E3 ligases play a vital role in mediating some of the effects of vasopressin to increase AQP2 abundance and plasma membrane accumulation. The results suggest that manipulating cullin activity could be a novel strategy to alter kidney water handling.

Abstract
Prior studies showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) inhibits vasopressin-stimulated osmotic water permeability in the renal collecting duct. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism. Using isolated perfused rat inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs), we found that the addition of EGF to the peritubular bath significantly decreased 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP)-stimulated water permeability, confirming prior observations. The inhibitory effect of EGF on water permeability was associated with a reduction in intracellular cAMP levels and protein kinase A (PKA) activity. Using phospho-specific antibodies and immunoblotting in IMCD suspensions, we showed that EGF significantly reduces phosphorylation of AQP2 at Ser264 and Ser269. This effect was absent when 8-cpt-cAMP was used to induce AQP2 phosphorylation, suggesting that EGF's inhibitory effect was at a pre-cAMP step. Immunofluorescence labeling of microdissected IMCDs showed that EGF significantly reduced apical AQP2 abundance in the presence of dDAVP. To address what protein kinase might be responsible for Ser269 phosphorylation, we used Bayesian analysis to integrate multiple-omic datasets. Thirteen top-ranked protein kinases were subsequently tested by in vitro phosphorylation experiments for their ability to phosphorylate AQP2 peptides using a mass spectrometry readout. The results show that the PKA catalytic-α subunit increased phosphorylation at Ser256, Ser264, and Ser269. None of the other kinases tested phosphorylated Ser269. In addition, H-89 and PKI strongly inhibited dDAVP-stimulated AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser269. These results indicate that EGF decreases the water permeability of the IMCD by inhibiting cAMP production, thereby inhibiting PKA and decreasing AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser269, a site previously shown to regulate AQP2 endocytosis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The authors used native rat collecting ducts to show that inhibition of vasopressin-stimulated water permeability by epidermal growth factor involves a reduction of aquaporin 2 phosphorylation at Ser269, a consequence of reduced cAMP production and PKA activity.

Abstract
Tolvaptan, a vasopressin antagonist selective for the V2-subtype vasopressin receptor (V2R), is widely used in the treatment of hyponatremia and autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Its effects on signaling in collecting duct cells have not been fully characterized. Here, we perform RNA-seq in a collecting duct cell line (mpkCCD). The data show that tolvaptan inhibits the expression of mRNAs that were previously shown to be increased in response to vasopressin including aquaporin-2, but also reveals mRNA changes that were not readily predictable and suggest off-target actions of tolvaptan. One such action is activation of the MAPK kinase (ERK1/ERK2) pathway. Prior studies have shown that ERK1/ERK2 activation is essential in the regulation of a variety of cellular and physiological processes and can be associated with cell proliferation. In immunoblotting experiments, we demonstrated that ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in mpkCCD cells was significantly reduced by vasopressin, in contrast to the increases seen in non-collecting-duct cells overexpressing V2R in prior studies. We also found that tolvaptan has a strong effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in the presence of vasopressin and that tolvaptan's effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation is absent in mpkCCD cells in which both protein kinase A (PKA)-catalytic subunits have been deleted. Thus, it appears that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK activation is PKA-dependent and is not due to an off-target effect of tolvaptan. We conclude that in cells expressing V2R at endogenous levels: 1) vasopressin decreases ERK1/ERK2 activation; 2) in the presence of vasopressin, tolvaptan increases ERK1/ERK2 activation; and 3) these effects are PKA-dependent.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin is a key hormone that regulates the function of the collecting duct of the kidney. ERK1 and ERK2 are enzymes that play key roles in physiological regulation in all cells. The authors used collecting duct cell cultures to investigate the effects of vasopressin and the vasopressin receptor antagonist tolvaptan on ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation and activation.

[PMID: 37855039 PMCID: PMC11194055 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00144.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), as a posttranslational modification mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) catalyzing the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ molecules to acceptor proteins, involves a number of cellular processes. As mice lacking the PARP-1 gene (Parp1) produce more urine, we investigated the role of PARP-1, the most prevalent member of the PARP family, in the vasopressin-responsive expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). In biotin-conjugated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (biotin-NAD+) pulldown and immunoprecipitation assays of poly(ADP)-ribose in mpkCCDc14 cells, immunoblots demonstrated that 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) induced the PARylation of total proteins, associated with an increase in the cleavage of PARP-1 and cleaved caspase-3 expression. By inhibiting PARP-1 with siRNA, the abundance of dDAVP-induced AQP2 mRNA and protein was significantly diminished. In contrast, despite a substantial decrease in PARylation, the PARP-1 inhibitor (PJ34) had no effect on the dDAVP-induced regulation of AQP2 expression. The findings suggest that PARP-1 protein expression itself, and not PARP-1-mediated PARylation, is necessary for dDAVP-regulated AQP2 expression. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that 408 proteins interact with PARP-1 in the collecting duct (CD) cells of the kidney. Among them, the signaling pathway of the vasopressin V2 receptor was identified for 49 proteins. In particular, β-catenin, which is phosphorylated at Ser552 by dDAVP, was identified as the PARP-1-interacting protein. A significant decrease of β-catenin phosphorylation (Ser552) in response to dDAVP was associated with siRNA-mediated PARP-1 knockdown. Taken together, PARP-1 is likely to play a role in vasopressin-induced AQP2 expression by interacting with β-catenin in renal CD cells.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family catalyzes poly(ADP-ribosylation) (PARylation), which is one of the posttranslational modifications of largely undetermined physiological significance. This study investigated the role of PARP-1, the most prevalent member of the PARP family, in the vasopressin-responsive expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). The results demonstrated that PARP-1 protein expression itself, and not PARP-1-mediated PARylation, is necessary for dDAVP-regulated AQP2 expression. β-Catenin, which is phosphorylated at Ser552 by dDAVP, was identified as the PARP-1-interacting protein.

Abstract
Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CAMK2) family proteins are involved in the regulation of cellular processes in a variety of tissues including brain, heart, liver, and kidney. One member, CAMK2δ (CAMK2D), has been proposed to be involved in vasopressin signaling in the renal collecting duct, which controls water excretion through regulation of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). To identify CAMK2D target proteins in renal collecting duct cells (mpkCCD), we deleted Camk2d and carried out LC-MS/MS-based quantitative phosphoproteomics. Specifically, we used CRISPR/Cas9 with two different guide RNAs targeting the CAMK2D catalytic domain to create multiple CAMK2D KO cell lines. AQP2 protein abundance was lower in the CAMK2D KO cells than in CAMK2D-intact controls. AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser256 and Ser269 (normalized for total AQP2) was decreased. However, trafficking of AQP2 to and from the apical plasma membrane was sustained. Large-scale quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis (TMT-labeling) in the presence of the vasopressin analog dDAVP (0.1 nM, 30 min) allowed quantification of 11,570 phosphosites of which 169 were significantly decreased, while 206 were increased in abundance in CAMK2D KO clones. These data are available for browsing or download at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CAMK2D-proteome/. Motif analysis of the decreased phosphorylation sites revealed a target preference of -(R/K)-X-X-p(S/T)-X-(D/E), matching the motif identified in previous in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant CAMK2D. Thirty five of the significantly downregulated phosphorylation sites in CAMK2D KO cells had exactly this motif and are judged to be likely direct CAMK2D targets. This adds to the list of known CAMK2D target proteins found in prior reductionist studies.

Abstract
Arginine-vasopressin induces water reabsorption in collecting duct principal cells through the water channels aquaporin (AQP) 2, 3, and 4. Only the presence of these AQPs allows for short-term adjustments of plasma osmolality by arginine-vasopressin. How principal cells maintain the expression of the AQPs is unclear. Zhang et al., for the first time, identify a mechanism that explains the expression of the AQPs under resting conditions. They show that the transcription coregulator, yes-associated protein, is responsible for the coordinated expression of the 3 AQPs.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls renal water excretion through actions to regulate aquaporin-2 (AQP2) trafficking, transcription, and degradation. These actions are in part dependent on vasopressin-induced phosphorylation changes in collecting duct cells. Although most efforts have focused on the phosphorylation of AQP2 itself, phosphoproteomic studies have identified many vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in proteins other than AQP2. The goal of this bioinformatics-based review is to create a compendium of vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites with a focus on those that are seen in both native rat inner medullary collecting ducts and cultured collecting duct cells from the mouse (mpkCCD), arguing that these sites are the best candidates for roles in AQP2 regulation. This analysis identified 51 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in 45 proteins. We provide resource web pages at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/AVP-Phos/ and https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/AVP-Network/, listing the phosphorylation sites and describing annotated functions of each of the vasopressin-targeted phosphoproteins. Among these sites are 23 consensus protein kinase A (PKA) sites that are increased in response to vasopressin, consistent with a central role for PKA in vasopressin signaling. The remaining sites are predicted to be phosphorylated by other kinases, most notably ERK1/2, which accounts for decreased phosphorylation at sites with a X-p(S/T)-P-X motif. Additional protein kinases that undergo vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation are Camkk2, Cdk18, Erbb3, Mink1, and Src, which also may be activated directly or indirectly by PKA. The regulated phosphoproteins are mapped to processes that hypothetically can account for vasopressin-mediated control of AQP2 trafficking, cytoskeletal alterations, and Aqp2 gene expression, providing grist for future studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin regulates renal water excretion through control of the aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct cells. Studies of vasopressin-induced protein phosphorylation have focused mainly on the phosphorylation of aquaporin-2. This study describes 44 phosphoproteins other than aquaporin-2 that undergo vasopressin-mediated phosphorylation changes and summarizes potential physiological roles of each.

Abstract
In addition to long-term regulation of blood pressure (BP), in the kidney resides the initial trigger for hypertension development due to an altered capacity to excrete sodium and water. Betaine is one of the major organic osmolytes, and its betaine/gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter (BGT-1) expression in the renal medulla relates to interstitial tonicity and urinary osmolality and volume. This study investigated altered water and sodium balance as well as changes in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) activity in female spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats from their 3–5 weeks of age (prehypertensive phase) to SHR’s 28–30 weeks of age (established hypertension-organ damage). Young prehypertensive SHRs showed a reduced daily urine output, an elevated urine osmolarity, and higher immunostaining of tubule BGT-1, alpha-1-Na-K ATPase in the outer medulla vs. age-matched WKY. ADH circulating levels were not different between young prehypertensive SHR and WKY, but the urine aquaporin2 (AQP2)/creatinine ratio and labeling of AQP2 in the collecting duct were increased. At 28–30 weeks, hypertensive SHR with moderate renal failure did not show any difference in urinary osmolarity, urine AQP2/creatinine ratio, tubule BGT-1, and alpha-1-Na-K ATPase as compared with WKY. These results suggest an increased sensitivity to ADH in prehypertensive female SHR. On this basis, a second series of experiments were set to study the role of ADH V1 and V2 receptors in the development of hypertension, and a group of female prehypertensive SHRs were treated from the 25th to 49th day of age with either V1 (OPC21268) or V2 (OPC 41061) receptor antagonists to evaluate the BP time course. OPC 41061-treated SHRs had a delayed development of hypertension for 5 weeks without effect in OPC 21268-treated SHRs. In prehypertensive female SHR, an increased renal ADH sensitivity is crucial for the development of hypertension by favoring a positive water balance. Early treatment with selective V2 antagonism delays future hypertension development in young SHRs.

Abstract
AIM Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) shuttling between intracellular vesicles and the apical plasma membrane is pivotal in arginine vasopressin-mediated urine concentration and is dysregulated in multiple diseases associated with water balance disorders. Children and adults with acute pyelonephritis have a urinary concentration defect and studies in children revealed increased AQP2 excretion in the urine. This study aimed to analyse AQP2 trafficking in response to acute pyelonephritis. METHODS Immunofluorescence analysis was used to evaluate subcellular localization of AQP2 and AQP2-S256A (mimicking non-phosphorylated AQP2 on serine 256) in cells stimulated with bacterial lysates and of AQP2 and pS256-AQP2 in a mouse model at day 5 of acute pyelonephritis. Western blotting was used to evaluate AQP2 levels and AQP2 phosphorylation on S256 upon incubation with bacterial lysates. Time-lapse imaging was used to measure intracellular cAMP levels in response to incubation with bacterial lysates. RESULTS In cell cultures, lysates from both uropathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria-mediated AQP2 plasma membrane targeting and increased AQP2 phosphorylation on serine 256 (pS256) without increasing cAMP levels. Both bacterial lysates induced plasma membrane targeting of AQP2-S256A. Immunofluorescence analysis of renal sections from mice after 5 days of acute pyelonephritis revealed apical plasma membrane targeting of AQP2 and pS256-AQP2 in inner medullary collecting ducts. CONCLUSION Uropathogenic bacteria induce AQP2 plasma membrane targeting in vitro and in vivo. cAMP levels were not elevated by the bacterial lysates and AQP2 plasma membrane targeting could occur without S256 phosphorylation. This may explain increased AQP2 excretion in the urine during acute pyelonephritis.

Clinical, Genetic and Functional Characterization of a Novel AVPR2 Missense Mutation in a Woman with X-Linked Recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12010118.

Abstract
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder characterized by renal unresponsiveness to the hormone vasopressin, leading to excretion of large volumes of diluted urine. Mutations in the arginine vasopressin receptor-2 (AVPR2) gene cause congenital NDI and have an X-linked recessive inheritance. The disorder affects almost exclusively male family members, but female carriers occasionally present partial phenotypes due to skewed inactivation of the X-chromosome. Here, we report a rare case of a woman affected with X-linked recessive NDI, presenting an average urinary output of 12 L/day. Clinical and biochemical studies showed incomplete responses to water deprivation and vasopressin stimulation tests. Genetic analyses revealed a novel heterozygous missense mutation (c.493G > C, p.Ala165Pro) in the AVPR2 gene. Using a combination of in-silico protein modeling with human cellular models and molecular phenotyping, we provide functional evidence for phenotypic effects. The mutation destabilizes the helical structure of the AVPR2 transmembrane domains and disrupts its plasma membrane localization and downstream intracellular signaling pathways upon activation with its agonist vasopressin. These defects lead to deficient aquaporin 2 (AQP2) membrane translocation, explaining the inability to concentrate urine in this patient.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent aquaporin-2 (AQP2) redistribution from intracellular vesicles into the plasma membrane of renal collecting duct principal cells induces water reabsorption and fine-tunes body water homeostasis. However, the mechanisms controlling the localization of AQP2 are not understood in detail. Using immortalized mouse medullary collecting duct (MCD4) and primary rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells as model systems, we here discovered a key regulatory role of Aurora kinase A (AURKA) in the control of AQP2. The AURKA-selective inhibitor Aurora-A inhibitor I and novel derivatives as well as a structurally different inhibitor, Alisertib, prevented the cAMP-induced redistribution of AQP2. Aurora-A inhibitor I led to a depolymerization of actin stress fibers, which serve as tracks for the translocation of AQP2-bearing vesicles to the plasma membrane. The phosphorylation of cofilin-1 (CFL1) inactivates the actin-depolymerizing function of CFL1. Aurora-A inhibitor I decreased the CFL1 phosphorylation, accounting for the removal of the actin stress fibers and the inhibition of the redistribution of AQP2. Surprisingly, Alisertib caused an increase in actin stress fibers and did not affect CFL1 phosphorylation, indicating that AURKA exerts its control over AQP2 through different mechanisms. An involvement of AURKA and CFL1 in the control of the localization of AQP2 was hitherto unknown.

Abstract
Systems biology can be defined as the study of a biological process in which all of the relevant components are investigated together in parallel to discover the mechanism. Although the approach is not new, it has come to the forefront as a result of genome sequencing projects completed in the first few years of the current century. It has elements of large-scale data acquisition (chiefly next-generation sequencing-based methods and protein mass spectrometry) and large-scale data analysis (big data integration and Bayesian modeling). Here we discuss these methodologies and show how they can be applied to understand the downstream effects of GPCR signaling, specifically looking at how the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin, working through the V2 receptor and PKA activation, regulates the water channel aquaporin-2. The emerging picture provides a detailedframework for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in water balance disorders, pointing the way to improved treatment of both polyuric disorders and water-retention disorders causing dilutional hyponatremia.

Abstract
The association between diabetes insipidus (DI) and chronic dietary K+ deprivation is well known, but it remains uncertain how the disorder develops and whether it is influenced by the sexual dimorphism in K+ handling. Here, we determined the plasma K+ (PK) threshold for DI in male and female mice and ascertained if DI is initiated by polydipsia or by a central or nephrogenic defect. C57BL6J mice were randomized to a control diet or to graded reductions in dietary K+ for 8 days, and kidney function and transporters involved in water balance were characterized. We found that male and female mice develop polyuria and secondary polydipsia. Altered water balance coincided with a decrease in aquaporin-2 (AQP2) phosphorylation and apical localization despite increased levels of the vasopressin surrogate marker copeptin. No change in the protein abundance of urea transporter-A1 was observed. The Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter decreased only in males. Desmopressin treatment failed to reverse water diuresis in K+-restricted mice. These findings indicate that even a small fall in PK is associated with nephrogenic DI (NDI), coincident with the development of altered AQP2 regulation, implicating low PK as a causal trigger of NDI. We found that PK decreased more in females, and, consequently, females were more prone to develop NDI. Together, these data indicate that AQP2 regulation is disrupted by a small decrease in PK and that the response is influenced by sexual dimorphism in K+ handling. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms linking water and K+ balances and support defining the disorder as "potassium-dependent NDI."NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study shows that aquaporin-2 regulation is disrupted by a small fall in plasma potassium levels and the response is influenced by sexual dimorphism in renal potassium handling. The findings provided new insights into the mechanisms by which water balance is altered in dietary potassium deficiency and support defining the disorder as "potassium-dependent nephrogenic diabetes insipidus."

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD) are poorly understood and treatment options are limited, a situation underpinning the need for elucidating the causative molecular mechanisms and for identifying innovative treatment options. It is emerging that cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling occurs in defined cellular compartments within nanometre dimensions in processes whose dysregulation is associated with CKD. cAMP compartmentalization is tightly controlled by a specific set of proteins, including A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs). AKAPs such as AKAP18, AKAP220, AKAP-Lbc and STUB1, and PDE4 coordinate arginine-vasopressin (AVP)-induced water reabsorption by collecting duct principal cells. However, hyperactivation of the AVP system is associated with kidney damage and CKD. Podocyte injury involves aberrant AKAP signalling. cAMP signalling in immune cells can be local and slow the progression of inflammatory processes typical for CKD. A major risk factor of CKD is hypertension. cAMP directs the release of the blood pressure regulator, renin, from juxtaglomerular cells, and plays a role in Na+ reabsorption through ENaC, NKCC2 and NCC in the kidney. Mutations in the cAMP hydrolysing PDE3A that cause lowering of cAMP lead to hypertension. Another major risk factor of CKD is diabetes mellitus. AKAP18 and AKAP150 and several PDEs are involved in insulin release. Despite the increasing amount of data, an understanding of functions of compartmentalized cAMP signalling with relevance for CKD is fragmentary. Uncovering functions will improve the understanding of physiological processes and identification of disease-relevant aberrations may guide towards new therapeutic concepts for the treatment of CKD.

Abstract
Molecularly targeted therapy with MEK inhibitors has been increasingly incorporated into the treatment of pediatric low-grade gliomas, but this promising therapy is associated with distinctive and specific toxicities. Understanding life-threatening MEK inhibitor toxicities and their management is critical to MEK inhibitor safety, especially among young children. This report describes severe hyponatremia associated with trametinib in an infant with progressive low-grade glioma without underlying endocrine dysfunction, which recurred despite significant dose reduction. Therapy with an alternative MEK inhibitor, binimetinib, provided excellent tumor response without hyponatremia, suggesting that some toxicities may be avoided by changing MEK inhibitor agents within the same class.

Abstract
Psychotropic drugs may be associated with hyponatremia, but an understanding of how they induce water retention in the kidney remains elusive. Previous studies have postulated that they may increase vasopressin production in the hypothalamus without supporting evidence. In this study, we investigated the possibility of drug-induced nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis using haloperidol, sertraline, and carbamazepine. Haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine were treated in inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) suspensions and primary cultured IMCD cells prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats. The responses of intracellular cAMP production, aquaporin-2 (AQP2) protein expression and localization, vasopressin-2 receptor (V2R) and AQP2 mRNA, and cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) were tested with and without tolvaptan and the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors H89 and Rp-cAMPS. In IMCD suspensions, cAMP production was increased by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was relieved by tolvaptan cotreatment. In primary cultured IMCD cells, haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine treatment increased total AQP2 and decreased phosphorylated Ser261-AQP2 protein expression. Notably, these responses were reversed by cotreatment with tolvaptan or a PKA inhibitor. AQP2 membrane trafficking was induced by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was also blocked by cotreatment with tolvaptan or a PKA inhibitor. Furthermore, upregulation of V2R and AQP2 mRNA and phosphorylated CREB was induced by haloperidol, sertraline, or carbamazepine and was blocked by tolvaptan cotreatment. We conclude that, in the rat IMCD, psychotropic drugs upregulate AQP2 via V2R-cAMP-PKA signaling in the absence of vasopressin stimulation. The vasopressin-like action on the kidney appears to accelerate AQP2 transcription and dephosphorylate AQP2 at Ser261.NEW & NOTEWORTHY It is unclear whether antipsychotic drugs can retain water in the kidney in the absence of vasopressin. This study demonstrates that haloperidol, sertraline, and carbamazepine can produce nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis because they directly upregulate vasopressin-2 receptor and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) via cAMP/PKA signaling. We showed that, in addition to AQP2 trafficking, AQP2 protein abundance was rapidly increased by treatment with antipsychotic drugs in association with dephosphorylation of AQP2 at Ser261 and accelerated AQP2 transcription.

Abstract
Water excretion by the kidney is regulated by the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin through actions in renal collecting duct cells to regulate the water channel protein aquaporin-2. Vasopressin signaling is initiated by binding to a G-protein-coupled receptor called V2R, which signals through heterotrimeric G-protein subunit Gs α, adenylyl cyclase 6, and activation of the cAMP-regulated protein kinase (PKA). Signaling events coupling PKA activation and aquaporin-2 regulation were largely unknown until the advent of modern protein mass spectrometry techniques that allow proteome-wide quantification of protein phosphorylation changes (phosphoproteomics). This short review documents phosphoproteomic findings in collecting duct cells describing the response to V2R-selective vasopressin agonists and antagonists, the response to CRISPR-mediated deletion of PKA, results from in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant PKA, the response to the broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor H89 (N-[2-p-bromocinnamylamino-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide), and the responses underlying lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. These phosphoproteomic data sets have been made available online for modeling vasopressin signaling and signaling downstream from other G-protein-coupled receptors. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: New developments in protein mass spectrometry are facilitating progress in identification of signaling networks. Using mass spectrometry, it is now possible to identify and quantify thousands of phosphorylation sites in a given cell type (phosphoproteomics). The authors describe the use of phosphoproteomics technology to identify signaling mechanisms downstream from a G-protein-coupled receptor, the vasopressin V2 subtype receptor, and its role of the regulation and dysregulation of water excretion in the kidney. Data from multiple phosphoproteomic data sets are provided as web-based resources.

Abstract
The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of integral membrane proteins which play critical roles in controlling transcellular water movement in various tissues throughout the body. AQP1 helps mediate the cellular response to osmotic stress and tissue water permeability. However, the mechanism by which AQP1 mediates changes in cell volume is not completely clear. Here, we investigated how AQP1 responds to and controls cell volume upon osmotic stimuli during the early phase after the immediate response. Cells overexpressing AQP1 were exposed to hypotonic or hypertonic medium in the presence or absence of staurosporine or W-7 hydrochloride, and fluorescence imaging was performed at 0, 5, 10, and 15 min later. Osmotic stimuli induced redistribution of AQP1 into the cell membrane, hypotonic stimuli caused cell enlargement, and hypertonic stimuli induced a reduction in cell size, which was blocked by T157A/T239A mutations. Changes in cell size induced by osmotic stimuli were blocked by an antagonist of calmodulin kinase, W-7 hydrochloride, but not by the PKC inhibitor staurosporine. These results suggest that calmodulin kinase regulates AQP1 activity during the early response to osmotic stimuli.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated control of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Collecting duct principal cells express two seemingly redundant PKA catalytic subunits, PKA catalytic α (PKA-Cα) and PKA catalytic β (PKA-Cβ). To identify the roles of these two protein kinases, we carried out deep phosphoproteomic analysis in cultured mpkCCD cells in which either PKA-Cα or PKA-Cβ was deleted using CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing. Controls were cells carried through the genome editing procedure but without deletion of PKA. TMT mass tagging was used for protein mass spectrometric quantification. Of the 4,635 phosphopeptides that were quantified, 67 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cα deletion, whereas 21 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cβ deletion. However, only four sites were changed in both. The target proteins identified in PKA-Cα-null cells were largely associated with cell membranes and membrane vesicles, whereas target proteins in PKA-Cβ-null cells were largely associated with the actin cytoskeleton and cell junctions. In contrast, in vitro incubation of mpkCCD proteins with recombinant PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ resulted in virtually identical phosphorylation changes. In addition, analysis of total protein abundances in in vivo samples showed that PKA-Cα deletion resulted in a near disappearance of AQP2 protein, whereas PKA-Cβ deletion did not decrease AQP2 abundance. We conclude that PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ serve substantially different regulatory functions in renal collecting duct cells and that differences in phosphorylation targets may be due to differences in protein interactions, e.g., mediated by A-kinase anchor proteins, C-kinase anchoring proteins, or PDZ binding.

Abstract
Extracellular fluid (ECF) potassium concentration ([K+]) is maintained by adaptations of kidney and skeletal muscle, responses heretofore studied separately. We aimed to determine how these organ systems work in concert to preserve ECF [K+] in male C57BL/6J mice fed a K+-deficient diet (0K) versus 1% K+ diet (1K) for 10 days (n = 5-6/group). During 0K feeding, plasma [K+] fell from 4.5 to 2 mM; hindlimb muscle (gastrocnemius and soleus) lost 28 mM K+ (from 115 ± 2 to 87 ± 2 mM) and gained 27 mM Na+ (from 27 ± 0.4 to 54 ± 2 mM). Doubling of muscle tissue [Na+] was not associated with inflammation, cytokine production or hypertension as reported by others. Muscle transporter adaptations in 0K- versus 1K-fed mice, assessed by immunoblot, included decreased sodium pump α2-β2 subunits, decreased K+-Cl- cotransporter isoform 3, and increased phosphorylated (p) Na+,K+,2Cl- cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1p), Ste20/SPS-1-related proline-alanine rich kinase (SPAKp), and oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1 (OSR1p) consistent with intracellular fluid (ICF) K+ loss and Na+ gain. Renal transporters' adaptations, effecting a 98% reduction in K+ excretion, included two- to threefold increased phosphorylated Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCCp), SPAKp, and OSR1p abundance, limiting Na+ delivery to epithelial Na+ channels where Na+ reabsorption drives K+ secretion; and renal K sensor Kir 4.1 abundance fell 25%. Mass balance estimations indicate that over 10 days of 0K feeding, mice lose ~48 μmol K+ into the urine and muscle shifts ~47 μmol K+ from ICF to ECF, illustrating the importance of the concerted responses during K+ deficiency.

Abstract
In mammals, conservation of body water is critical for survival and is dependent on the kidneys' ability to minimize water loss in the urine during periods of water deprivation. The collecting duct water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) plays an essential role in this homeostatic response by facilitating water reabsorption along osmotic gradients. The ability to increase the levels of AQP2 in the apical plasma membrane following an increase in plasma osmolality is a rate-limiting step in water reabsorption, a process that is tightly regulated by the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). In this review, the focus is on the role of the carboxyl-terminus of AQP2 as a key regulatory point for AQP2 trafficking. We provide an overview of AQP2 structure, disease-causing mutations in the AQP2 carboxyl-terminus, the role of posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiquitylation in the tail domain, and their implications for balanced trafficking of AQP2. Finally, we discuss how various modifications of the AQP2 tail facilitate selective protein-protein interactions that modulate the AQP2 trafficking mechanism.

Abstract
Lithium chloride (LiCl) is a widely used drug for the treatment of bipolar disorders, but as a side effect, 40% of the patients develop diabetes insipidus. LiCl affects the activity of the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), and mice deficient for GSK3β showed a reduction in the urine concentration capability. The cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We used primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells to analyze the underlying mechanisms. LiCl and the inhibitor of GSK3 (SB216763) induced a decrease in the aquaporin-2 (Aqp2) protein level. LiCl induced downregulation of Aqp2 mRNA expression while SB216763 had no effect and TWS119 led to increase in expression. The inhibition of the lysosomal activity with bafilomycin or chloroquine prevented both LiCl- and SB216763-mediated downregulation of Aqp2 protein expression. Bafilomycin and chloroquine induced the accumulation of Aqp2 in lysosomal structures, which was prevented in cells treated with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbcAMP), which led to phosphorylation and membrane localization of Aqp2. Downregulation of Aqp2 was also evident when LiCl was applied together with dbcAMP, and dbcAMP prevented the SB216763-induced downregulation. We showed that LiCl and SB216763 induce downregulation of Aqp2 via different mechanisms. While LiCl also affected the mRNA level, SB216763 induced lysosmal degradation. Specific GSK3β inhibition had an opposite effect, indicating a more complex regulatory mechanism.

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 18 Controls Trafficking of Aquaporin-2 and Its Abundance through Ubiquitin Ligase STUB1, Which Functions as an AKAP. Cells 2020; 9:cells9030673.

Abstract
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) facilitates water reabsorption in renal collecting duct principal cells through regulation of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). The hormone binds to vasopressin V2 receptors (V2R) on the surface of the cells and stimulates cAMP synthesis. The cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), which initiates signaling that causes an accumulation of AQP2 in the plasma membrane of the cells facilitating water reabsorption from primary urine and fine-tuning of body water homeostasis. AVP-mediated PKA activation also causes an increase in the AQP2 protein abundance through a mechanism that involves dephosphorylation of AQP2 at serine 261 and a decrease in its poly-ubiquitination. However, the signaling downstream of PKA that controls the localization and abundance of AQP2 is incompletely understood. We carried out an siRNA screen targeting 719 kinase-related genes, representing the majority of the kinases of the human genome and analyzed the effect of the knockdown on AQP2 by high-content imaging and biochemical approaches. The screening identified 13 hits whose knockdown inhibited the AQP2 accumulation in the plasma membrane. Amongst the candidates was the so far hardly characterized cyclin-dependent kinase 18 (CDK18). Our further analysis revealed a hitherto unrecognized signalosome comprising CDK18, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, STUB1 (CHIP), PKA and AQP2 that controls the localization and abundance of AQP2. CDK18 controls AQP2 through phosphorylation at serine 261 and STUB1-mediated ubiquitination. STUB1 functions as an A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) tethering PKA to the protein complex and bridging AQP2 and CDK18. The modulation of the protein complex may lead to novel concepts for the treatment of disorders which are caused or are associated with dysregulated AQP2 and for which a satisfactory treatment is not available, e.g., hyponatremia, liver cirrhosis, diabetes insipidus, ADPKD or heart failure.

Abstract
Vasopressin (AVP) plays a major role in the regulation of water homeostasis by its antidiuretic action on the kidney, mediated by V2 receptors. An increase in plasma sodium concentration stimulates AVP release, which in turn promotes water reabsorption. Upon binding to the V2 receptors in the renal collecting duct, AVP induces the expression and apical membrane insertion of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels and subsequent water reabsorption. AVP regulates two independent mechanisms: the short-term regulation of AQP2 trafficking and long-term regulation of the total abundance of the AQP2 protein in the cells. On the other hand, several hormones, acting through specific receptors, have been reported to antagonize AVP-mediated water transport in kidney. In this respect, we previously described that high luminal Ca2+ in the renal collecting duct attenuates short-term AVP-induced AQP2 trafficking through activation of the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR). This effect is due to reduction of AVP-dependent cAMP generation and possibly hydrolysis. Moreover, CaSR signaling reduces AQP2 abundance both via AQP2-targeting miRNA-137 and the proteasomal degradation pathway. This chapter summarizes recent data elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological role of the CaSR-dependent regulation of AQP2 expression and trafficking.

Renal Ca 2+ and Water Handling in Response to Calcium Sensing Receptor Signaling: Physiopathological Aspects and Role of CaSR-Regulated microRNAs. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20215341.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal and vital intracellular messenger involved in a diverse range of cellular and biological processes. Changes in the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ can disrupt the normal cellular activities and the physiological function of these systems. The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a unique G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by extracellular Ca2+ and by other physiological cations, aminoacids, and polyamines. CaSR is the main controller of the extracellular Ca2+ homeostatic system by regulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and, in turn, Ca2+ absorption and resorption. Recent advances highlight novel signaling pathways activated by CaSR signaling involving the regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are naturally-occurring small non-coding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression and are involved in several diseases. We previously described that high luminal Ca2+ in the renal collecting duct attenuates short-term vasopressin-induced aquaporin-2 (AQP2) trafficking through CaSR activation. Moreover, we demonstrated that CaSR signaling reduces AQP2 abundance via AQP2-targeting miRNA-137. This review summarizes the recent data related to CaSR-regulated miRNAs signaling pathways in the kidney.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls water balance largely through PKA-dependent effects to regulate the collecting duct water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Although considerable information has accrued regarding the regulation of water and solute transport in collecting duct cells, information is sparse regarding the signaling connections between PKA and transport responses. Here, we exploited recent advancements in protein mass spectrometry to perform a comprehensive, multiple-replicate analysis of changes in the phosphoproteome of native rat inner medullary collecting duct cells in response to the vasopressin V2 receptor-selective agonist 1-desamino-8D-arginine vasopressin. Of the 10,738 phosphopeptides quantified, only 156 phosphopeptides were significantly increased in abundance, and only 63 phosphopeptides were decreased, indicative of a highly selective response to vasopressin. The list of upregulated phosphosites showed several general characteristics: 1) a preponderance of sites with basic (positively charged) amino acids arginine (R) and lysine (K) in position -2 and -3 relative to the phosphorylated amino acid, consistent with phosphorylation by PKA and/or other basophilic kinases; 2) a greater-than-random likelihood of sites previously demonstrated to be phosphorylated by PKA; 3) a preponderance of sites in membrane proteins, consistent with regulation by membrane association; and 4) a greater-than-random likelihood of sites in proteins with class I COOH-terminal PDZ ligand motifs. The list of downregulated phosphosites showed a preponderance of those with proline in position +1 relative to the phosphorylated amino acid, consistent with either downregulation of proline-directed kinases (e.g., MAPKs or cyclin-dependent kinases) or upregulation of one or more protein phosphatases that selectively dephosphorylate such sites (e.g., protein phosphatase 2A). The phosphoproteomic data were used to create a web resource for the investigation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling and regulation of AQP2-mediated water transport.

Abstract
The tight spatial and temporal organisation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling plays a key role in arginine-vasopressin (AVP)-mediated water reabsorption in renal collecting duct principal cells and in a plethora of other processes such as in the control of cardiac myocyte contractility. This review critically discusses in vitro- and cell-based screening strategies for the identification of small molecules that interfere with AVP/cAMP signalling in renal principal cells; it features phenotypic screening and approaches for targeting protein-protein interactions of A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs), which organise local cAMP signalling hubs. The discovery of novel chemical entities for the modulation of local cAMP will not only provide tools for elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying cAMP signalling. Novel chemical entities can also serve as starting points for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of human diseases. Examples illustrate how screening for small molecules can pave the way to novel approaches for the treatment of certain forms of diabetes insipidus, a disease caused by defects in AVP-mediated water reabsorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) binding to vasopressin V2 receptors promotes redistribution of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) from intracellular vesicles into the plasma membrane of renal collecting duct principal cells. This pathway fine-tunes renal water reabsorption and urinary concentration, and its perturbation is associated with diabetes insipidus. Previously, we identified the antimycotic drug fluconazole as a potential modulator of AQP2 localization. METHODS We assessed the influence of fluconazole on AQP2 localization in vitro and in vivo as well as the drug's effects on AQP2 phosphorylation and RhoA (a small GTPase, which under resting conditions, maintains F-actin to block AQP2-bearing vesicles from reaching the plasma membrane). We also tested fluconazole's effects on water flow across epithelia of isolated mouse collecting ducts and on urine output in mice treated with tolvaptan, a VR2 blocker that causes a nephrogenic diabetes insipidus-like excessive loss of hypotonic urine. RESULTS Fluconazole increased plasma membrane localization of AQP2 in principal cells independent of AVP. It also led to an increased AQP2 abundance associated with alterations in phosphorylation status and ubiquitination as well as inhibition of RhoA. In isolated mouse collecting ducts, fluconazole increased transepithelial water reabsorption. In mice, fluconazole increased collecting duct AQP2 plasma membrane localization and reduced urinary output. Fluconazole also reduced urinary output in tolvaptan-treated mice. CONCLUSIONS Fluconazole promotes collecting duct AQP2 plasma membrane localization in the absence of AVP. Therefore, it might have utility in treating forms of diabetes insipidus (e.g., X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) in which the kidney responds inappropriately to AVP.

Abstract
Besides lowering glucose, empagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, have been known to provide cardiovascular and renal protection due to effects on diuresis and natriuresis. However, the natriuretic effect of SGLT2 inhibitors has been reported to be transient, and long-term data related to diuretic change are sparse. This study was performed to assess the renal effects of a 12-week treatment with empagliflozin (3 mg/kg) in diabetic OLETF rats by comparing it with other antihyperglycemic agents including lixisenatide (10 μg/kg), a glucagon-like peptide receptor-1 agonist, and voglibose (0.6 mg/kg), an α-glucosidase inhibitor. At 12 weeks of treatment, empagliflozin-treated diabetic rats produced still high urine volume and glycosuria, and showed significantly higher electrolyte-free water clearance than lixisenatide or voglibose-treated diabetic rats without significant change of serum sodium level and fractional excretion of sodium. In empagliflozin-treated rats, renal expression of Na+-Cl- cotransporter was unaltered, and expressions of Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3, Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter, and epithelial Na+ channel were decreased compared with control diabetic rats. Empagliflozin increased an expression of aquaporin (AQP)7 but did not affect AQP3 and AQP1 protein expressions in diabetic kidneys. Despite the increased expression in vasopressin V2 receptor, protein and mRNA levels of AQP2 in empagliflozin-treated diabetic kidneys were significantly decreased compared to control diabetic kidneys. In addition, empagliflozin resulted in the increased phosphorylation of AQP2 at S261 through the increased cyclin-dependent kinases 1 and 5 and protein phosphatase 2B. These results suggest that empagliflozin may contribute in part to polyuria via its regulation of sodium channels and AQP2 in diabetic kidneys.

Abstract
The alteration of water balance and related disorders has emerged as being strictly linked to the state of activation of the vasopressin–aquaporin-2
(vasopressin–AQP2) pathway. The lack of responsiveness of the kidney to the vasopressin action impairs its ability to concentrate the urine, resulting in polyuria, polydipsia, and risk of severe dehydration for patients. Conversely, non-osmotic release of vasopressin is associated with an increase in water permeability in the renal collecting duct, producing water retention and increasing the circulatory blood volume. This review highlights some of the new insights and recent advances in therapeutic intervention targeting the dysfunctions in the vasopressin–AQP2 pathway causing diseases characterized by water balance disorders such as congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The recent clinical data suggest that targeting the vasopressin–AQP2 axis can provide therapeutic benefits in patients with water balance disorders.

Abstract
Classical physiological studies using electrophysiological, biophysical, biochemical, and molecular techniques have created a detailed picture of molecular transport, bioenergetics, contractility and movement, and growth, as well as the regulation of these processes by external stimuli in cells and organisms. Newer systems biology approaches are beginning to provide deeper and broader understanding of these complex biological processes and their dynamic responses to a variety of environmental cues. In the past decade, advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies have provided invaluable tools to further elucidate these complex cellular processes, thereby confirming, complementing, and advancing common views of physiology. As one notable example, the application of proteomics to study the regulation of kidney function has yielded novel insights into the chemical and physical processes that tightly control body fluids, electrolytes, and metabolites to provide optimal microenvironments for various cellular and organ functions. Here, we systematically review, summarize, and discuss the most significant key findings from functional proteomic studies in renal epithelial physiology. We also identify further improvements in technological and bioinformatics methods that will be essential to advance precision medicine in nephrology.

Abstract
Increasing evidence supports the important role of H2S in renal physiology and the pathogenesis of kidney injury. Whether H2S regulates water metabolism in the kidney and the potential mechanism are still unknown. The present study was conducted to determine the role of H2S in urine concentration. Inhibition of both cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), 2 major enzymes for endogenous H2S production, with propargylglycine (PPG) and amino-oxyacetate (AOAA), respectively, caused increased urine output and reduced urine osmolality in mice that was associated with decreased expression of aquaporin (AQP)-2 in the renal inner medulla. Mice treated with both PPG and AOAA developed a urine concentration defect in response to dehydration that was accompanied by reduced AQP-2 protein expression. Inhibition of CSE alone was associated with a mild decrease in AQP-2 protein level in the renal medulla of heterozygous CBS mice. GYY4137, a slow H2S donor, markedly improved urine concentration and prevented the down-regulation of renal AQP-2 protein expression in mice with lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). GYY4137 significantly increased cAMP levels in cell lysates prepared from inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) suspensions. AQP-2 protein expression was also upregulated, but was significantly inhibited by the adenyl cyclase inhibitor MDL12330A or the PKA inhibitor H89, but not the vasopressin 2 receptor (V2R) antagonist tolvaptan. Inhibition of endogenous H2S production impaired urine concentration in mice, whereas an exogenous H2S donor improved urine concentration in lithium-induced NDI by increasing AQP-2 expression in the collecting duct principal cells. H2S upregulated AQP-2 protein expression, probably via the cAMP-PKA pathway.-Luo, R., Hu, S., Liu, Q., Han, M., Wang, F., Qiu, M., Li, S., Li, X., Yang, T., Fu, X., Wang, W., Li, C.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a result of aerobic metabolism and as by-products through numerous physiological and biochemical processes. While ROS-dependent modifications are fundamental in transducing intracellular signals controlling pleiotropic functions, imbalanced ROS can cause oxidative damage, eventually leading to many chronic diseases. Moreover, increased ROS and reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability are main key factors in dysfunctions underlying aging, frailty, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Extensive investigation aims to elucidate the beneficial effects of ROS and NO, providing novel insights into the current medical treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases of high epidemiological impact. This review focuses on emerging topics encompassing the functional involvement of aquaporin channel proteins (AQPs) and membrane transport systems, also allowing permeation of NO and hydrogen peroxide, a major ROS, in oxidative stress physiology and pathophysiology. The most recent advances regarding the modulation exerted by food phytocompounds with antioxidant action on AQPs are also reviewed.

Abstract
Background Renal water excretion is controlled by vasopressin, in part through regulation of the transcription of the aquaporin-2 gene (Aqp2).Methods To identify enhancer regions likely to be involved in the regulation of Aqp2 and other principal cell-specific genes, we used several next generation DNA-sequencing techniques in a well characterized cultured cell model of collecting duct principal cells (mpkCCD). To locate enhancers, we performed the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-Seq) to identify accessible regions of DNA and integrated the data with data generated by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation DNA-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) for CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) binding, histone H3 lysine-27 acetylation, and RNA polymerase II.Results We identified two high-probability enhancers centered 81 kb upstream and 5.8 kb downstream from the Aqp2 transcriptional start site. Motif analysis of these regions and the Aqp2 promoter identified several potential transcription factor binding sites, including sites for two b-ZIP transcription factors: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-β (C/EBPβ) and cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB). To identify genomic binding sites for both, we conducted ChIP-Seq using well characterized antibodies. In the presence of vasopressin, C/EBPβ, a pioneer transcription factor critical to cell-specific gene expression, bound strongly at the identified enhancer downstream from Aqp2 However, over multiple replicates, we found no detectable CREB binding sites within 390 kb of Aqp2 Thus, any role for CREB in the regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription is likely to be indirect.Conclusions The analysis identified two enhancer regions pertinent to transcriptional regulation of the Aqp2 gene and showed C/EBPβ (but not CREB) binding.

Abstract
Stimulation of renal collecting duct principal cells with antidiuretic hormone (arginine-vasopressin, AVP) results in inhibition of the small GTPase RhoA and the enrichment of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the plasma membrane. The membrane insertion facilitates water reabsorption from primary urine and fine-tuning of body water homeostasis. Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) interact with RhoA, catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP and thereby activate the GTPase. However, GEFs involved in the control of AQP2 in renal principal cells are unknown. The A-kinase anchoring protein, AKAP-Lbc, possesses GEF activity, specifically activates RhoA, and is expressed in primary renal inner medullary collecting duct principal (IMCD) cells. Through screening of 18,431 small molecules and synthesis of a focused library around one of the hits, we identified an inhibitor of the interaction of AKAP-Lbc and RhoA. This molecule, Scaff10-8, bound to RhoA, inhibited the AKAP-Lbc-mediated RhoA activation but did not interfere with RhoA activation through other GEFs or activities of other members of the Rho family of small GTPases, Rac1 and Cdc42. Scaff10-8 promoted the redistribution of AQP2 from intracellular vesicles to the periphery of IMCD cells. Thus, our data demonstrate an involvement of AKAP-Lbc-mediated RhoA activation in the control of AQP2 trafficking.

Abstract
High concentrations of urinary calcium counteract vasopressin action via the activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) that is expressed in the luminal membrane of collecting duct cells, which impairs the trafficking of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Pendrin/NaCl cotransporter double-knockout (dKO) mice display significant calcium wasting and develop severe volume depletion, despite increased circulating vasopressin levels. We hypothesized that the CaSR-mediated impairment of AQP2 expression/trafficking underlies vasopressin resistance in dKO mice. Compared with wild-type mice, in renal inner medulla, dKO mice had reduced total AQP2 sensitive to proteasome inhibitors, higher levels of AQP2-pS261, ubiquitinated AQP2, and p38-MAPK, an enzyme that is activated by CaSR signaling and known to phosphorylate AQP2 at Ser261. CaSR inhibition with the calcilytic NPS2143 reversed these effects, which indicates that CaSR mediates the up-regulation of AQP2-pS261, ubiquitination, and degradation. Of note, dKO mice demonstrated significantly higher AQP2-targeting miRNA-137 that was reduced upon CaSR inhibition, supporting a critical role for CaSR in the down-regulation of AQP2 expression. Our data indicate that CaSR signaling reduces AQP2 abundance both via AQP2-targeting miRNA-137 and the p38-MAPK/AQP2-pS261/ubiquitination/proteasomal axis. These effects may contribute to the reduced renal concentrating ability that has been observed in dKO mice and underscore a physiologic mechanism of the CaSR-dependent regulation of AQP2 abundance via a novel microRNA pathway.-Ranieri, M., Zahedi, K., Tamma, G., Centrone, M., Di Mise, A., Soleimani, M., Valenti, G. CaSR signaling down-regulates AQP2 expression via a novel microRNA pathway in pendrin and NaCl cotransporter knockout mice.

Abstract
The urea channel UT-A1 and the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) mediate vasopressin-regulated transport in the renal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). To identify the proteins that interact with UT-A1 and AQP2 in native rat IMCD cells, we carried out chemical cross-linking followed by detergent solubilization, immunoprecipitation, and LC-MS/MS analysis of the immunoprecipitated material. The analyses revealed 133 UT-A1-interacting proteins and 139 AQP2-interacting proteins, each identified in multiple replicates. Fifty-three proteins that were present in both the UT-A1 and the AQP2 interactomes can be considered as mediators of housekeeping interactions, likely common to all plasma membrane proteins. Among proteins unique to the UT-A1 list were those involved in posttranslational modifications: phosphorylation (protein kinases Cdc42bpb, Phkb, Camk2d, and Mtor), ubiquitylation/deubiquitylation (Uba1, Usp9x), and neddylation (Nae1 and Uba3). Among the proteins unique to the AQP2 list were several Rab proteins (Rab1a, Rab2a, Rab5b, Rab5c, Rab7a, Rab11a, Rab11b, Rab14, Rab17) involved in membrane trafficking. UT-A1 was found to interact with UT-A3, although quantitative proteomics revealed that most UT-A1 molecules in the cell are not bound to UT-A3. In vitro incubation of UT-A1 peptides with the protein kinases identified in the UT-A1 interactome revealed that all except Mtor were capable of phosphorylating known sites in UT-A1. Overall, the UT-A1 and AQP2 interactomes provide a snapshot of a dynamic process in which UT-A1 and AQP2 are produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, processed through the Golgi apparatus, delivered to endosomes that move into and out of the plasma membrane, and are regulated in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The importance of the kidney distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) is highlighted by various water and electrolyte disorders that arise when the unique transport properties of these segments are disturbed. Despite this critical role, little is known about which proteins have a regulatory role in these cells and how these cells can be regulated by individual physiologic stimuli. By combining proteomics, bioinformatics, and cell biology approaches, we found that the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP is highly expressed throughout the collecting duct; is modulated in abundance by vasopressin; interacts with aquaporin-2 (AQP2), Hsp70, and Hsc70; and can directly ubiquitylate the water channel AQP2 in vitro shRNA knockdown of CHIP in CCD cells increased AQP2 protein t1/2 and reduced AQP2 ubiquitylation, resulting in greater levels of AQP2 and phosphorylated AQP2. CHIP knockdown increased the plasma membrane abundance of AQP2 in these cells. Compared with wild-type controls, CHIP knockout mice or novel CRISPR/Cas9 mice without CHIP E3 ligase activity had greater AQP2 abundance and altered renal water handling, with decreased water intake and urine volume, alongside higher urine osmolality. We did not observe significant changes in other water- or sodium-transporting proteins in the gene-modified mice. In summary, these results suggest that CHIP regulates AQP2 and subsequently, renal water handling.
