    Title translation SARS-CoV-2 and sodium transport: a diabolical strategy.
    Abstract The Covid 19 pandemic remains a serious public health problem until effective drugs and/or vaccines are available. Can we explain why so many people remain asymptomatic but nevertheless highly contagious explaining the speed with which the pandemic has spread around the world? Can we explain why the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) appears late but can so quickly have a fatal outcome? In the lung, mucociliary clearance (CMC) and alveolar clearance (CA) depend on the transport of sodium through the plasma membrane of epithelial cells. This transport is mediated by a highly selective sodium channel (Epithelial Sodium Channel = ENaC) which could be a key element in the pulmonary pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a serious public health problem and will continue to be until effective drugs and/or vaccines are available. The rational development of drugs critically depends on our understanding of disease mechanisms, that is, the physiology and pathophysiology underlying the function of the organ targeted by the virus. Since the beginning of the pandemic, tireless efforts around the globe have led to numerous publications on the virus, its receptor, its entry into the cell, its cytopathic effects, and how it triggers innate and native immunity but the role of apical sodium transport mediated by the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) during the early phases of the infection in the airways has received little attention. We propose a pathophysiological model that defines the possible role of ENaC in this process.

    Abstract Vertebrates control the osmolality of their extra- and intra-cellular compartments despite large variations in salt and water intake. Aldosterone-dependent sodium reabsorption and vasopressin-dependent water transport in the distal nephron and collecting duct play a critical role in the final control of sodium and water balance. Long-term fasting (no eating, no drinking) represents an osmotic challenge for survival. Evolution has found very different solutions to meet this challenge. To illustrate this point, I will discuss osmoregulation of a mammal (elephant seal pup) and of a fish (lungfish) that are able to survive long-term fasting for months or even years. Homer W. Smith taught us how informative comparative anatomy and physiology of the kidney could help physiologists and nephrologists to better understand how the kidney works. In recent years, comparative genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics across the tree of life have led to the emergence of a new discipline, evolutionary medicine. In the near future, physiologists and nephrologists will benefit from this new field of investigation, thanks to its potential for the identification of novel drug targets and therapies.

    Abstract The amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) constitutes the rate-limiting step for sodium reabsorption in epithelial cells that line the distal part of the renal tubule, the distal colon, the duct of several exocrine glands, and the lung. The activity of this channel is regulated by aldosterone and hormones involved in the maintenance of sodium balance, blood volume and blood pressure. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of ENaC function and regulation relevant to the control of sodium balance and blood pressure. The identification of novel drug targets should help in the development of the next generation of diuretics and of new therapies for the treatment of hypertension.
