Abstract
OBJECTIVE Physiological systems responsible for water homeostasis and energy metabolism are interconnected. This study hypothesized altered responses to dehydration including thirst, ad libitum water intake, and copeptin in men with obesity. METHODS Forty-two men (22 lean and 20 with obesity) were stimulated by a 2-hour hypertonic saline infusion and a 24-hour water deprivation. In each dehydrating condition, thirst, ad libitum water intake after dehydration, and urinary and hormonal responses including copeptin were assessed. RESULTS After each dehydration condition, ad libitum water intake was similar between both groups (p > 0.05); however, those with obesity reported feeling less thirsty (p < 0.05) and had decreased copeptin response and higher urinary sodium concentrations when stressed (p < 0.05). Angiotensin II, aldosterone, atrial and brain natriuretic peptides, and apelin concentrations did not differ by adiposity group and did not explain the different thirst or copeptin responses in men with obesity. However, leptin was associated with copeptin response in lean individuals during the hypertonic saline infusion (p < 0.05), but the relationship was diminished in those with obesity. CONCLUSIONS Diminished thirst and copeptin responses are part of the obesity phenotype and may be influenced by leptin. Adiposity may impact pathways regulating thirst and vasopressin release, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is produced in the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic nuclei (SON). Peripheral AVP, which is secreted from the posterior pituitary, is produced in the magnocellular division of the PVN (mPVN) and SON. In addition, AVP is produced in the parvocellular division of the PVN (pPVN), where corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) is synthesized. These peptides synergistically modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Previous studies have revealed that the HPA axis was activated by hypovolemia. However, the detailed dynamics of AVP in the pPVN under hypovolemic state has not been elucidated. Here, we evaluated the effects of hypovolemia and hyperosmolality on the hypothalamus, using AVP-enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) transgenic rats. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) or 3% hypertonic saline (HTN) was intraperitoneally administered to develop hypovolemia or hyperosmolality. AVP-eGFP intensity was robustly upregulated at 3 and 6 h after intraperitoneal administration of PEG or HTN in the mPVN. While in the pPVN, eGFP intensity was significantly increased at 6 h after intraperitoneal administration of PEG with significant induction of Fos-immunoreactive (-ir) neurons. Consistently, eGFP mRNA, AVP hnRNA, and CRF mRNA in the pPVN and plasma AVP and corticosterone were significantly increased at 6 h after intraperitoneal administration of PEG. The results suggest that AVP and CRF syntheses in the pPVN were activated by hypovolemia, resulting in the activation of the HPA axis.

Abstract
Metaboreflex activation augments sweating during mild-to-moderate hyperthermia in euhydrated (isosmotic isovolemic) individuals. Recent work indicates that extracellular hyperosmolality may augment metaboreflex-mediated elevations in sympathetic nervous activity. Our primary objective was therefore to test the hypothesis that extracellular hyperosmolality would exacerbate metaboreflex-mediated increases in sweat rate. On two separate occasions, 12 young men (mean (SD): 25 (5) years) received a 90-min intravenous infusion of either 0.9% saline (isosmotic condition, ISO) or 3.0% saline (hyperosmotic condition, HYP), resulting in a post-infusion serum osmolality of 290 (3) and 301 (7) mOsm/kg, respectively. A whole-body water perfusion suit was then used to increase esophageal temperature by 0.8°C above resting. Participants then performed a metaboreflex activation protocol consisting of 90 s isometric handgrip exercise (40% of their pre-determined maximum voluntary contraction), followed by 150 s of brachial occlusion (trapping produced metabolites within the limb). Metaboreflex-induced sweating was quantified as the change in global sweat rate (from pre-isometric handgrip exercise to brachial occlusion), estimated as the surface area-weighted average of local sweat rate on the abdomen, axilla, chest, bicep, quadriceps, and calf, measured using ventilated capsules (3.8 cm2). We also explored whether this response differed between body regions. The change in global sweat rate due to metaboreflex activation was significantly greater in HYP compared to ISO (0.03 mg/min/cm2 [95% confidence interval: 0.00, 0.06]; p=0.047), but was not modulated by body region (site*condition interaction: p=0.679). These findings indicate that extracellular hyperosmolality augments metaboreflex-induced increases in global sweat rate, with no evidence for region-specific differences.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Purinergic and glutamatergic signalling pathways play a key role in regulating the activity of hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory neurons (MNNs). However, the precise cellular mechanisms by which ATP and glutamate act in concert to regulate osmotically driven MNN neuronal excitability remains unknown. Here, we report that ATP acts on purinergic P2 receptors in MNNs to potentiate in a Ca2+ -dependent manner extrasynaptic NMDAR function. The P2-NMDAR coupling is engaged in response to an acute hyperosmotic stimulation, contributing to osmotically driven firing activity in MNNs. These results help us to better understand the precise mechanisms contributing to the osmotic regulation of firing activity and hormone release from MNNs. ABSTRACT The firing activity of hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory neurons (MNNs) located in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus (SON) is coordinated by the combined, fine-tuned action of intrinsic membrane properties, synaptic and extrasynaptic signalling. Among these, purinergic and glutamatergic signalling pathways have been shown to play a key role regulating the activity of MNNs. However, the precise cellular mechanisms by which ATP and glutamate act in concert to regulate osmotically driven MNN neuronal excitability remains unknown. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings obtained from MNNs showed that ATP (100 μM) induced an increase in firing rate, an effect that was blocked by either 4-[[4-formyl-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-[(phosphonooxy)methyl]2-pyridinyl]azo]1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (PPADS) (10 μM) or kynurenic acid (1 mm). While ATP did not affect the frequency or magnitude of glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs), it induced an inward shift in the holding current that was prevented by PPADS or kynurenic acid treatment, suggesting that ATP enhances a tonic extrasynaptic glutamatergic excitatory current. We observed that ATP-potentiated glutamatergic receptor-mediated currents were evoked by focal application of L-glu (1 mm) and NMDA (50 μM), but not AMPA (50 μM). ATP potentiation of NMDA-evoked currents was blocked by PPADS (10 μM) and by chelation of intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA (10 mm). Finally, we report that a hyperosmotic stimulus (mannitol 1%, +55 mOsm/kgH2 O) potentiated NMDA-evoked currents and increased MNN firing activity, effects that were blocked by PPADS. Taken together, our data support a functional excitatory coupling between P2 and extrasynaptic NMDA receptors in MNNs, which is engaged in response to an acute hyperosmotic stimulus.

Abstract
Exposure of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) to highly concentrated feed solution during fed-batch cultivation is known to result in an unphysiological osmolality increase (>300 mOsm/kg), affecting cell physiology and morphology. Extending previous observation on osmotic adaptation, the present study investigates for the first time potential effects of hyperosmolality on CHO cells on both population and single-cell level. We intentionally exposed CHO cells to hyperosmolality of up to 545 mOsm/kg during fed-batch cultivation. In concordance with existing research data, hyperosmolality-exposed CHO cells showed a nearly triplicated volume accompanied by ablation of proliferation. On the molecular level, we observed a strong hyperosmolality-dependent increase in mitochondrial activity in CHO cells compared to control. In contrast to mitochondrial activity, hyperosmolality-dependent proliferation arrest of CHO cells was not accompanied by DNA accumulation or caspase-3/7-mediated apoptosis. Notably, we demonstrate for the first time a formation of up to eight multiple, small nuclei in single hyperosmolality-stressed CHO cells. The here presented observations reveal previously unknown hyperosmolality-dependent morphological changes in CHO cells and support existing data on the osmotic response in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The addition of nutrients and accumulation of metabolites in a fed-batch culture of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells leads to an increase in extracellular osmolality in late stage culture. Herein, we explore the effect of osmolality on CHO cell growth, specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) productivity and glycosylation achieved with the addition of NaCl or the supplementation of a commercial feed. Although both methods lead to an increase in specific antibody productivity, they have different effects on cell growth and antibody production. Osmolality modulation using NaCl up to 470 mOsm kg-1 had a consistently positive effect on specific antibody productivity and titre. The addition of the commercial feed achieved variable results: specific mAb productivity was increased, yet cell growth rate was significantly compromised at high osmolality values. As a result, Feed C addition to 410 mOsm kg-1 was the only condition that achieved a significantly higher mAb titre compared to the control. Additionally, Feed C supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in galactosylated antibody structures. Cell volume was found to be positively correlated to osmolality; however, osmolality alone could not account for observed changes in average cell diameter without considering cell cycle variations. These results help delineate the overall effect of osmolality on titre and highlight the potentially negative effect of overfeeding on cell growth.

Abstract
The hypothalamic neuroendocrine system is strongly implicated in body energy homeostasis. In particular, the degree of production and release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the hypothalamus is affected by plasma osmolality, and that hypothalamic AVP is responsible for thirst and osmolality-dependent water and metabolic balance. However, the osmolality-responsive intracellular mechanism within AVP cells that regulates AVP synthesis is not clearly understood. Here, we report a role for tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (TonEBP), a transcription factor sensitive to cellular tonicity, in regulating osmosensitive hypothalamic AVP gene transcription. Our immunohistochemical work shows that hypothalamic AVP cellular activity, as recognized by c-fos, was enhanced in parallel with an elevation in TonEBP expression within AVP cells following water deprivation. Interestingly, our in vitro investigations found a synchronized pattern of TonEBP and AVP gene expression in response to osmotic stress. Those results indicate a positive correlation between hypothalamic TonEBP and AVP production during dehydration. Promoter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that TonEBP can bind directly to conserved binding motifs in the 5'-flanking promoter regions of the AVP gene. Furthermore, dehydration- and TonEBP-mediated hypothalamic AVP gene activation was reduced in TonEBP haploinsufficiency mice, compared with wild TonEBP homozygote animals. Therefore, our result support the idea that TonEBP is directly necessary, at least in part, for the elevation of AVP transcription in dehydration conditions. Additionally, dehydration-induced reductions in body weight were rescued in TonEBP haploinsufficiency mice. Altogether, our results demonstrate an intracellular machinery within hypothalamic AVP cells that is responsible for dehydration-induced AVP synthesis.

Abstract
KEY POINTS In humans, hypohydration attenuates sweat secretion and attenuates whole-body heat loss, probably to mitigate further fluid losses and thereby support blood pressure regulation. Recently, however, we demonstrated that the hypohydration-mediated reduction in net whole-body heat exchange (evaporative heat loss - dry heat gain) was blunted in middle-aged compared to younger men during moderate exercise in dry heat; albeit, the underpinning mechanisms could not be determined. Here we evaluated the hypothesis that those findings stemmed from a diminished influence of extracellular hyperosmolality on net whole-body heat exchange in middle-aged-to-older compared to young men. Consistent with that hypothesis, extracellular hyperosmolality induced by an intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline (3% NaCl) reduced net heat exchange and augmented rectal temperature to a greater extent in the young compared to middle-aged-to-older men. Thus, age-related differences in the influence of hypohydration on thermoregulatory function appear to be due to blunted sensitivity to hyperosmolality with ageing. ABSTRACT We recently demonstrated that sweating-induced hypohydration attenuated whole-body heat dissipation to a greater extent in young compared to middle-aged men during exercise-heat stress. Here, we evaluated whether this divergent response stemmed from an attenuated influence of extracellular hyperosmolality on heat exchange with ageing. To achieve this, ten young (mean (SD): 25 (5) years) and ten middle-aged-to-older (61 (5) years) men completed two trials involving a 90-min intravenous infusion of isosmotic saline (0.9% NaCl; ISO) or hyperosmotic saline (3.0% NaCl; HYP) followed by 60 min of cycling at a fixed metabolic heat production of 250 W/m2 (∼50% peak aerobic power) in dry heat (40°C, ∼17% relative humidity). Whole-body net heat exchange (evaporative heat loss - dry heat gain) was measured via direct calorimetry. Rectal temperature was monitored continuously. Heat exchange was attenuated in HYP compared to ISO in the young (233 (20) vs. 251 (17) W/m2 ; P = 0.002) but not older group (229 (16) vs. 227 (20) W/m2 ; P = 0.621). Further, heat exchange was lower in the middle-aged-to-older vs. young men in ISO (P = 0.034) but not in HYP (P = 0.623). Similarly, end-exercise rectal temperature was greater in HYP relative to ISO in the young (38.3 (0.4)°C vs. 37.9 (0.3)°C; P = 0.015) but not the middle-aged-to-older men (38.3 (0.3)°C vs. 38.2 (0.2)°C; P = 0.652). Compared to the young, rectal temperature was greater in the middle-aged-to-older during ISO (P = 0.035) whereas no between-group difference was observed in HYP (P = 0.746). Our findings indicate that ageing blunts the effect of extracellular hyperosmolality on thermoregulatory function during exercise-heat stress.

Abstract
We generated a transgenic rat line that expresses oxytocin (OXT)-monomeric red fluorescent protein 1 (mRFP1) fusion gene to visualize the dynamics of OXT. In this transgenic rat line, hypothalamic OXT can be assessed under diverse physiological and pathophysiological conditions by semiquantitative fluorometry of mRFP1 fluorescence intensity as a surrogate marker for endogenous OXT. Using this transgenic rat line, we identified the changes in hypothalamic OXT synthesis under various physiological conditions. However, few reports have directly examined hypothalamic OXT synthesis under hyperosmolality or hypovolemia. In this study, hypothalamic OXT synthesis was investigated using the transgenic rat line after acute osmotic challenge and acute hypovolemia induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of 3% hypertonic saline (HTN) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), respectively. The mRFP1 fluorescence intensity in the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic nuclei (SON) was significantly increased after i.p. administration of HTN and PEG, along with robust Fos-like immunoreactivity (co-expression). Fos expression showed neuronal activation in the brain regions that are associated with the hypothalamus and/or are involved in maintaining water and electrolyte homeostasis in HTN- and PEG-treated rats. OXT and mRFP1 gene expressions were dramatically increased after HTN and PEG administration. The plasma OXT level was extremely increased after HTN and PEG administration. Acute osmotic challenge and acute hypovolemia induced upregulation of hypothalamic OXT in the PVN and SON. These results suggest that not only endogenous arginine vasopressin (AVP) but also endogenous OXT has a key role in maintaining body fluid homeostasis to cope with hyperosmolality and hypovolemia.

Abstract
During prolonged dehydration, body fluid homeostasis is challenged by extracellular fluid (ECF) hyperosmolality, which induce important functional changes in the hypothalamus, in parallel with other effector responses, such as the activation of the local renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Therefore, in the present study we investigated the role of sodium-driven ECF hyperosmolality on glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity and protein expression, membrane capacitance, mRNA expression of RAS components and glutamate balance in cultured hypothalamic astrocytes. Our data show that hypothalamic astrocytes respond to increased hyperosmolality with a similar decrease in GFAP expression and membrane capacitance, indicative of reduced cellular area. Hyperosmolality also downregulates the transcript levels of angiotensinogen and both angiotensin-converting enzymes, whereas upregulates type 1a angiotensin II receptor mRNA. Incubation with hypertonic solution also decreases the immunoreactivity to the membrane glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST) as well as tritiated-aspartate uptake by astrocytes. This latter effect is completely restored to basal levels when astrocytes previously exposed to hypertonicity are incubated under isotonic conditions. Together with a direct effect on two important local signaling systems (glutamate and RAS), these synaptic rearrangements driven by astrocytes may accomplish for a coordinated increase in the excitatory drive onto the hypothalamic neurosecretory system, ultimately culminating with increased AVP release in response to hyperosmolality.

Abstract
Loss of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) protein function can be found in more than 90% of patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). Mice lacking Vhl function in the kidneys have urine concentration defects due to postulated reduction of the hyperosmotic gradient. Hyperosmolality is a kidney-specific microenvironment and induces a unique gene expression pattern. This gene expression pattern is inversely regulated in patients with ccRCC with consequences for cancer-specific survival. Within this study, we tested the hypothesis if Vhl function influences the hyperosmolality induced changes in gene expression. We made use of the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology to inhibit functional Vhl expression in murine collecting duct cell line. Loss of Vhl function induced morphological changes within the cells similar to epithelial to mesenchymal transition like phenotype. Vhl-deficient cells migrated faster and proliferated slower compared to control cells. Gene expression profiling showed significant changes in gene expression patterns in Vhl-deficient cells compared to control cells. Several genes with unfavorable outcomes showed induced and genes with favorable outcomes for patients with renal cancer reduced gene expression level. Under hyperosmotic condition, the expression of several hyperosmolality induced genes, with favorable prognostic value, was downregulated in cells that do not express functional Vhl. Taken together, this study shows that Vhl interferes with hyperosmotic signaling pathway and hyperosmolality affected pathways might represent new promising targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies in humans show increased concentrations of copeptin, a surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin (AVP), to be associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVES To examine the acute and independent effect of osmotically stimulated AVP, measured via the surrogate marker copeptin, on glucose regulation in healthy adults. METHODS Sixty subjects (30 females) participated in this crossover design study. On 2 trial days, separated by ≥7 d (males) or 1 menstrual cycle (females), subjects were infused for 120 min with either 0.9% NaCl [isotonic (ISO)] or 3.0% NaCl [hypertonic (HYPER)]. Postinfusion, a 240-min oral-glucose-tolerance test (OGTT; 75 g) was administered. RESULTS During HYPER, plasma osmolality and copeptin increased (P < 0.05) and remained elevated during the entire 6-h protocol, whereas renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system hormones were within the lower normal physiological range at the beginning of the protocol and declined following infusion. Fasting plasma glucose did not differ between trials (P > 0.05) at baseline and during the 120 min of infusion. During the OGTT the incremental AUC for glucose from postinfusion baseline (positive integer) was greater during HYPER (401.5 ± 190.5 mmol/L·min) compared with the ISO trial (354.0 ± 205.8 mmol/L·min; P < 0.05). The positive integer of the AUC for insulin during OGTT did not differ between trials (HYPER 55,850 ± 36,488 pmol/L·min compared with ISO 57,205 ± 31,119 pmol/L·min). Baseline values of serum glucagon were not different between the 2 trials; however, the AUC of glucagon during the OGTT was also significantly greater in HYPER (19,303 ± 3939 ng/L·min) compared with the ISO trial (18,600 ± 3755 ng/L·min; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present data indicate that acute osmotic stimulation of copeptin induced greater hyperglycemic responses during the oral glucose challenge, possibly due to greater glucagon concentrations.This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02761434.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a case of mannitol overdose associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), hypertonic hyponatremia, and neurologic abnormalities in a dog. CASE SUMMARY A 10-year-old intact male Shiba Inu dog was referred to the emergency service of a veterinary teaching hospital for inappetence and acute onset of seizures. The dog had received 2 IV boluses of 3 g/kg of mannitol in less than 24 hours for a glaucoma crisis. Twelve hours after the second injection, the dog became inappetant and developed 2 generalized seizures. Seizure activity was treated with diazepam (0.5 mg/kg IV). Serum biochemistry profile showed severe hyponatremia and hypochloremia, mild hypokalemia, marked increased creatinine (381 µmol/L [44-133 µmol/L]) and moderately increased BUN (13.8 mmol/L [1.6-10.9 mmol/L]). Urinalysis revealed a urine specific gravity of 1.018, glucosuria, proteinuria, pigmenturia and the presence of vacuolized tubular epithelial cells. A presumptive diagnosis of mannitol intoxication was made based on the high dose of mannitol, severe hyponatremia, neurological abnormalities suggestive of intracranial disease, AKI, and urine cytology. Initial calculated plasma osmolality was 263.4 mOsm/kg and measured plasma osmolality was 332 mOsm/kg with an osmolal gap of 68.6 mOsm/kg, confirming the presence of an unmeasured solute attributed to mannitol. Treatment consisted of fluid therapy and supportive care. On day 3, osmolal gap had resolved and serum creatinine concentration returned to normal within 12 days. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED Mannitol intoxication has been reported in human medicine. This case report is, to our knowledge, the first to describe AKI, hypertonic hyponatremia, and neurological abnormalities secondary to mannitol overdose in a dog.

Abstract
Osmotic stimulus or stress results in vasopressin release. Animal and human in vitro studies have shown that inflammatory parameters, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), increase in parallel in the central nervous system and bronchial, corneal or intestinal epithelial cell lines in response to osmotic stimulus. Whether osmotic stimulus directly causes a systemic inflammatory response in humans is unknown. We therefore investigated the influence of osmotic stimulus on circulatory markers of systemic inflammation in healthy volunteers. In this prospective cohort study, 44 healthy volunteers underwent a standardized test protocol with an osmotic stimulus leading into the hyperosmotic/hypernatremic range (serum sodium ≥150 mmol/L) by hypertonic saline infusion. Copeptin - a marker indicating vasopressin activity - serum sodium and osmolality, plasma IL-8 and TNF-α were measured at baseline and directly after osmotic stimulus. Median (range) serum sodium increased from 141 mmol/L (136, 147) to 151 mmol/L (145, 154) (P < 0.01), serum osmolality increased from 295 mmol/L (281, 306) to 315 mmol/L (304, 325) (P < 0.01). Median (range) copeptin increased from 4.3 pg/L (1.1, 21.4) to 28.8 pg/L (19.9, 43.4) (P < 0.01). Median (range) IL-8 levels showed a trend to decrease from 0.79 pg/mL (0.37, 1.6) to 0.7 pg/mL (0.4, 1.9) (P < 0.09) and TNF-α levels decreased from 0.53 pg/mL (0.11, 1.1) to 0.45 pg/mL (0.12, 0.97) (P < 0.036). Contrary to data obtained in vitro, circulating proinflammatory cytokines tend to or decrease in human plasma after osmotic stimulus. In this study, osmotic stimulus does not increase circulating markers of systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of several genes involved in the response to extracellular hyperosmolality. Recently, the uptake of ibuprofen by an as yet unknown carrier was suggested in Madin‐Darby canine kidney (MDCK) I cells exposed to hyperosmolality. We therefore speculated that Nfat5 could be involved in the regulation of this ibuprofen carrier. Reverse transfection with siRNA against Nfat5 was used to knock down Nfat5 in MDCK I cells. The uptake of both radiolabelled taurine and ibuprofen was measured in MDCK I cells, first treated with siRNA against Nfat5 and afterwards cultivated with raffinose‐supplemented normal growth medium (500 mOsm) for 24 h. The siRNA transfection resulted in knockdown of Nfat5, and uptake of both taurine and ibuprofen was significantly decreased in transfected MDCK I cells. The decrease in ibuprofen uptake indicates that Nfat5 is involved in upregulation of the ibuprofen carrier. A transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 revealed 989 genes upregulated by Nfat5 during hyperosmotic exposure. From these genes, the gene product transmembrane protein 184b was found to be regulated by Nfat5, and Tmem184b was the only potential gene product involved in the uptake of ibuprofen in MDCK I cells.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most difficult cancer disease for diagnosis and treatment, with a low survival rate and high recurrence rate and mortality. Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5) is mediated by osmolality and proved to be a carcinogenic gene in some tumor. However in our study we considered NFAT5 as tumor suppressor of HCC. RT-qPCR was performed for NFAT5 expression in tumor tissues. NaCl was applied to make hyperosmotic treatment. We knockdowned and overexpressed NFAT5 to investigate its role in HCC. FCM was used for apoptosis assay. Transwell and scratch assay is proceeded for invasion.NFAT5 is downregulated in HCC tissue and cell lines, besides, upregulated by hyperosmolality. NFAT5 promotes apoptosis by regulating PARP-1,BAX/BCL2 while inhibits invasion through EMT-related protein claudin-1 and fibronectin. Hyperosmolality is also a protective factor for HCC. We considered hyperosmolality exhibited his protective effect by inducing NFAT5.In a word, NFAT5 inhibits invasion and promotes apoptosis in HCC, associated with osmolality.

Abstract
B lymphocytes, as a central part of adaptive immune responses, have the ability to fight against an almost unlimited numbers of pathogens. Impairment of B cell development, activation and differentiation to antibody secreting plasma cells can lead to malignancy, allergy, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. However, the impact of environmental factors, such as hyperosmolality or osmotic stress caused by varying salt concentrations in different lymphoid organs, on these processes is not well-understood. Here, we report that B cells respond to osmotic stress in a biphasic manner. Initially, increased osmolality boosted B cell activation and differentiation as shown by an untimely downregulation of Pax5 as well as upregulation of CD138. However, in the second phase, we observed an increase in cell death and impaired plasmablast differentiation. Osmotic stress resulted in impaired class switch to IgG1, inhibition of phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated kinase and a delayed NFAT5 response. Overall, these findings demonstrate the importance of microenvironmental hyperosmolality and osmotic stress caused by NaCl for B cell activation and differentiation.

Abstract
Humans are unique in their ability to control body temperature with a large amount of skin blood flow and sweat rate while exercising in an upright position. However, cutaneous vasodilation in the body reduces total peripheral resistance and blood pooling in cutaneous veins decreases venous return to the heart and cardiac filling pressure. In addition, hypovolemia by sweating accelerates the reduction in cardiac filling pressure. These may threaten the maintenance of blood pressure if they are not compensated for. To prevent this, cutaneous vasodilation and sweat rate are suppressed by baroreflexes or hyperosmolality with dehydration. These mechanisms suppress heat dissipation, accelerate the increase in body temperature, and sometimes cause heat stroke. As a countermeasure to prevent this, we have recommended glucose electrolyte solutions but recently found that aerobic training with carbohydrate + whey protein supplementation markedly improves heat dissipation mechanisms by plasma volume expansion. In this article, we will discuss the importance of improving body fluid homeostasis for thermoregulation under heat stress in humans and the strategy to attain this.

Abstract
To understand the effects of hyperosmolality on protein glycosylation, recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells producing the Fc-fusion protein were cultivated in hyperosmolar medium resulting from adding NaCl (415 mOsm/kg). The hyperosmotic culture showed increased specific Fc-fusion protein productivity (qFc ) but a decreased proportion of acidic isoforms and sialic acid content of the Fc-fusion protein. The intracellular and extracellular sialidase activities in the hyperosmotic cultures were similar to those in the control culture (314 mOsm/kg), indicating that reduced sialylation of Fc-fusion protein at hyperosmolality was not due to elevated sialidase activity. Expression of 52 N-glycosylation-related genes was assessed by the NanoString nCounter system, which provides a direct digital readout using custom-designed color-coded probes. After 3 days of hyperosmotic culture, nine genes (ugp, slc35a3, slc35d2, gcs1, manea, mgat2, mgat5b, b4galt3, and b4galt4) were differentially expressed over 1.5-fold of the control, and all these genes were down-regulated. N-linked glycan analysis by anion exchange and hydrophilic interaction HPLC showed that the proportion of highly sialylated (di-, tri-, tetra-) and tetra-antennary N-linked glycans was significantly decreased upon hyperosmotic culture. Addition of betaine, an osmoprotectant, to the hyperosmotic culture significantly increased the proportion of highly sialylated and tetra-antennary N-linked glycans (P ≤ 0.05), while it increased the expression of the N-glycan branching/antennary genes (mgat2 and mgat4b). Thus, decreased expression of the genes with roles in the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway correlated with reduced sialic acid content of Fc-fusion protein caused by hyperosmolar conditions. Taken together, the results obtained in this study provide a better understanding of the detrimental effects of hyperosmolality on N-glycosylation, especially sialylation, in rCHO cells. Biotechnol.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal facilitative urea transporters play a significant role in the urea nitrogen salvaging process, which supports the symbiotic relationship between mammals and their gut microbial populations. UT‐A6 urea transporters have been previously reported in the human gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the colon. As renal UT‐A transporters can be regulated by external osmolality, this study investigated whether UT‐A6 expression could also be regulated in this manner. Initial end‐point RT‐PCR experiments confirmed UT‐A6 expression along the human gastrointestinal tract (colon > small intestine ≫ stomach) and also in the Caco‐2 intestinal cell line. Using Caco‐2 cells exposed for 24 hours to changed external osmotic conditions (from 350 to 250, 500, or 600 mOsm), end‐point PCR suggested UT‐A6 expression increased in hyperosmotic conditions. Using quantitative PCR, it was confirmed that 24 h exposure to 600 mOsm stimulated a significant ~15‐fold increase in UT‐A6 expression (P < 0.001, N = 5, ANOVA). Finally, inhibitory experiments suggested that protein kinase C and calcium were involved in this hyperosmotic‐stimulated regulatory pathway. In conclusion, these data demonstrated UT‐A6 expression was indeed regulated by external osmolality. The physiological significance of this regulatory process upon gastrointestinal urea transport has yet to be determined.

Abstract
A variety of approaches has been published to enhance specific productivity (qp) of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Changes in culture conditions, e. g. temperature shifts, sodium butyrate treatment and hyperosmolality, were shown to improve qp . To contribute to a better understanding of the correlation between hyperosmolality and enhanced qp , we analyzed cellular kinetics and intracellular adenine nucleotide pools during osmotic shift periods. Known phenotypes like increased formation rates for lactate and product (anti-IL-8 antibody; qlactate, qp) as well as increased cell specific uptake rate for glucose (qglucose ) were found--besides inhibition of cell growth and G1-arrest occurred during batch cultivations with osmotic shift. The analysis of intracellular AXP pools revealed enlarged ATP amounts for cells as response to hyperosmolality while energy charges remained unchanged. Enhanced ATP-pools coincided with severely increased ATP formation rates (qATP ) which outweighed by far the putative requirements attributed to regulatory volume increase. Therefore elevated qATP mirrored an increased cellular demand for energy while experiencing hyperosmotic shift.

Abstract
Large shifts of osmolality occur in the kidney medulla as part of the urine concentrating mechanism. Hyperosmotic stress profoundly challenges cellular homeostasis and induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we examined the unfolded protein response (UPR) in hyperosmotically-challenged principal cells of the kidney collecting duct (CD) and show its relevance in controlling epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) abundance, responsible for the final adjustment of Na(+) excretion. Dehydration increases medullary but not cortical osmolality. Q-PCR analysis of microdissected CD of water-deprived mice revealed increased aquaporin-2 (AQP2) expression in outer medullary and cortical CD while ENaC abundance decreased in outer medullary but not cortical CD. Immunoblotting, Q-PCR and immunofluorescence revealed that hyperosmolality induced a transient ER stress-like response both ex vivo and in cultured CD principal cells and increased activity of the canonical UPR mediators PERK and ATF6. Both hyperosmolality and chemical induction of ER stress decreased ENaC expression in vitro. ENaC depletion by either stimulus was abolished by transcriptional inhibition and by the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid and was partly abrogated by either PERK or ATF6 silencing. Our data suggest that induction of the UPR by hyperosmolality may help preserve body fluid homeostasis under conditions of dehydration by uncoupling AQP2 and ENaC abundance in outer medullary CD.

Abstract
Like humans with sleep apnea, rats exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) experience arterial hypoxemias and develop hypertension characterized by exaggerated sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). To gain insights into the poorly understood mechanisms that initiate sleep apnea/CIH-associated hypertension, experiments were performed in rats exposed to CIH for only 7 days. Compared with sham-treated normoxic control rats, CIH-exposed rats (n = 8 rats/group) had significantly increased hematocrit (P < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure (MAP; P < 0.05). Blockade of ganglionic transmission caused a significantly (P < 0.05) greater reduction of MAP in rats exposed to CIH than control rats (n = 8 rats/group), indicating a greater contribution of SNA in the support of MAP even at this early stage of CIH hypertension. Chemical inhibition of neuronal discharge in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) (100 pmol muscimol) had no effect on renal SNA but reduced lumbar SNA (P < 0.005) and MAP (P < 0.05) more in CIH-exposed rats (n = 8) than control rats (n = 7), indicating that CIH increased the contribution of PVN neuronal activity in the support of lumbar SNA and MAP. Because CIH activates brain regions controlling body fluid homeostasis, the effects of internal carotid artery injection of hypertonic saline were tested and determined to increase lumbar SNA more (P < 0.05) in CIH-exposed rats than in control rats (n = 9 rats/group). We conclude that neurogenic mechanisms are activated early in the development of CIH hypertension such that elevated MAP relies on increased sympathetic tonus and ongoing PVN neuronal activity. The increased sensitivity of Na(+)/osmosensitive circuitry in CIH-exposed rats suggests that early neuroadaptive responses among body fluid regulatory neurons could contribute to the initiation of CIH hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection is the most common precipitating factor and cause of death in patients with hyperglycemic crises. Treating infection-precipitated hyperglycemic crises includes using empiric antibiotics early; correcting dehydration, hyperglycemia, and electrolyte imbalances; and frequent monitoring. Intensive care unit admission, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and even novel therapy for infection may be beneficial for patients with a high risk of mortality. However, these management options are costly and not beneficial for every patient. Selecting high-risk patients who would most likely benefit is more appropriate. We investigated the independent mortality predictors of patients with infection-precipitated hyperglycemic crises to facilitate clinical decision making. METHODS This study was conducted in a university-affiliated medical center. Consecutive adult patients (> 18 years old) visiting the Emergency Department between January 2004 and December 2010 were enrolled when they met the criteria of an infection-precipitated hyperglycemic crisis. Thirty-day mortality was the primary endpoint. RESULTS One hundred forty-two patients were enrolled. The infection source did not predict mortality. The presenting variables that were independently associated with 30-day mortality in a multiple logistic regression model were cancer history (odds ratio [OR], 7.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.4-23.2), bandemia (OR, 7.0; 95% CI, 1.6-30.3), and serum creatinine (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.8). The common sources of infection were the lower respiratory tract (30.3%), urinary tract (49.3%), skin or soft tissue (12.0%), and intra-abdominal (6.3%). CONCLUSIONS Cancer history, bandemia, and serum creatinine level are three independent mortality predictors for patients with infection-precipitated hyperglycemic crises. These predictors are both readily available and valuable for physicians making decisions about risk stratification, treatment, and disposition.

Abstract
A 3-year old male who sustained 2(nd) and 3(rd) degree burns that covered approximately 60% TBSA presented to a large adult and pediatric verified burn center. On hospital day (HD) 26 of his stay, Candida fungemia was identified by blood culture, delaying operative management until HD 47. On HD 47, after his first operative intervention, the patient developed a persistent metabolic and lactic acidosis. On HD 66, a search for a cause of his osmol gap of 56 mOsm/kg revealed a potential source-propylene glycol. Previous studies have implicated the propylene glycol emulsifier in the silver sulfadiazine that was being applied to his skin as a rare cause of lactic acidosis in severely burned patients. Within 24 hours of stopping the silver sulfadiazine therapy, his lactic acidosis and osmol gap resolved; within 72 hours his metabolic acidosis resolved. Silver sulfadiazine is commonly used adjunct therapy in the treatment of 2(nd) and 3(rd) degree burns and generally has few adverse reactions. The absorption of propylene glycol systemically can rarely occur when applied to extensive burns, presumably due to the disruption of the skin barrier; the half-life of PG is 10 hours and can be prolonged with renal disease because ~50% of the sulfadiazine is excreted in the urine unchanged. When propylene glycol is present systemically, it is metabolized to lactic acid in the liver, which can cause a lactic acidosis. Several commonly used drugs also use propylene glycol as an emulsifier, including IV preparations of lorazepam, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, and phenytoin. In all of these clinical scenarios, including severe burn patients that are being treated with silver sulfadiazine, both lactic acid and propylene glycol levels should be measured to monitor for this rare, potentially serious co-morbidity.

Abstract
On view of the absent or minimal osmotic diuresis in end stage renal disease, hyperglycemia on maintenance hemolysis as compared to nonketotic hyperosmolar status without underlying advanced renal failure has been noted to show a wide clinical spectrum form severe manifestations by hypertonicity to no clinical manifestations at all. We experienced a 60-year-old man with a known history of type 2 diabetes mellitus on maintenance hemodialysis for 2 years, who was admitted 4 times within 1 year with hyperglycemia (>500 mg/dL) accompanied by recurrent nausea and vomiting at each admission. However, the calculated effective osmolality (tonicity) in this case ranged only from 286 to 303 mOsm/kg H2O. During the past 6 months following meticulous education for the importance of compliance to medication, especially prokinetics for diabetic gastroparesis, he developed no further episode of hyperglycemia or nausea and vomiting.

Abstract
Conventional peritoneal dialysis solutions (PDS) are vasoactive. This study was conducted to identify vasoactive components of PDS and to describe quantitatively such vasoactivity. Anesthetized nonheparinized rats were monitored continuously for hemodynamics while the microvasculature of the jejunum was studied with in vivo intravital microscopy. In separate experiments, vascular reactivity of rat endothelium-intact and -denuded aortic rings (2 mm) was studied ex vivo in a standard tissue bath. In both studies, suffusion of the vessels was performed with filter-sterilized isotonic and hypertonic solutions that contained glucose or mannitol as osmotic agents. PDS served as a control (Delflex 2.25%). Hypertonic glucose and mannitol solutions produced a significant vascular reactivity in aortic rings and instantaneous and sustained vascular relaxation at all levels of the intestinal microvasculature. Similarly, lactate that was dissolved in a low-pH isotonic physiologic salt solution produced significant force generation in aortic rings. Whereas isotonic glucose and mannitol solutions had no vasoactivity in aortic rings, isotonic glucose produced a selective, insidious, and time-dependent vasodilation in the intestinal premucosal arterioles (18 +/- 0.2% of baseline), which was not observed in the larger inflow arterioles (100 mum). This isotonic glucose-mediated vascular relaxation can be attenuated by approximately 50% with combined adenosine A(2a) and A(2b) receptor antagonists and completely abolished by adenosine A(1) receptor inhibition. By using two different experimental techniques, this study demonstrates that hyperosmolality and lactate are the major vasoactive components of clinical peritoneal dialysis solutions. The pattern and the magnitude of such reactivity are dependent on vessel size and on the solutes' metabolic activity. Low pH of conventional PDS is not a vasoactive component by itself but renders lactate vasoactive. Energy-dependent transport of glucose into cells mediates vasodilation of small visceral arterioles by an adenosine receptor-mediated mechanism and constitutes a significant fraction of PDS-mediated vascular reactivity in the visceral microvasculature.

Abstract
In normal rats, vasopressin and hyperosmolality enhance urea permeability (P(urea)) in the terminal, but not in the initial inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), a process thought to occur through the UT-A1 urea transporter. In the terminal IMCD, UT-A1 is detected as 97- and 117-kDa glycoproteins. However, in the initial IMCD, only the 97-kDa form is detected. During streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, UT-A1 protein abundance is increased, and the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein appears in the initial IMCD. We hypothesize that the 117-kDa glycoprotein mediates the vasopressin- and osmolality-induced changes in P(urea). Thus, in the present study, we measured P(urea) in in vitro perfused initial IMCDs from diabetic rats by imposing a 5 mM bath-to-lumen urea gradient without any osmotic gradient. Basal P(urea) was similar in control vs. diabetic rats (3 +/- 1 vs. 5 +/- 1 x 10(-5) cm/s, n = 4, P = not significant). Vasopressin (10 nM) significantly increased P(urea) to 16 +/- 5 x 10(-5) cm/s (n = 4, P < 0.05) in diabetic but not in control rats. Forskolin (10 microM, adenylyl cyclase activator) also significantly increased P(urea) in diabetic rats. In contrast, increasing osmolality to 690 mosmol/kg H2O did not change P(urea) in diabetic rats. We conclude that initial IMCDs from diabetic rats have vasopressin- and forskolin-, but not hyperosmolality-stimulated P(urea). The appearance of vasopressin-stimulated P(urea) in initial IMCDs correlates with an increase in UT-A1 protein abundance and the appearance of the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein in this region during diabetes. This suggests that the 117-kDa UT-A1 glycoprotein is necessary for vasopressin-stimulated urea transport.
