    Abstract Desert rodents face a sizeable challenge in maintaining salt and water homeostasis due to their life in an arid environment. A number of their organ systems exhibit functional characteristics that limit water loss above that which occurs in non-desert species under similar conditions. These systems include renal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, nasal, and skin epithelia. The desert rodent kidney preserves body water by producing a highly concentrated urine that reaches a maximum osmolality nearly three times that of the common laboratory rat. The precise mechanism by which urine is concentrated in any mammal is unknown. Insights into the process may be more apparent in species that produce highly concentrated urine. Aquaporin water channels play a fundamental role in water transport in several desert rodent organ systems. The role of aquaporins in facilitating highly effective water preservation in desert rodents is only beginning to be explored. The organ systems of desert rodents and their associated AQPs are described.

    Abstract Mammalian kidneys play an essential role in balancing internal water and salt concentrations. When water needs to be conserved, the renal medulla produces concentrated urine. Central to this process of urine concentration is an osmotic gradient that increases from the corticomedullary boundary to the inner medullary tip. How this gradient is generated and maintained has been the subject of study since the 1940s. While it is generally accepted that the outer medulla contributes to the gradient by means of an active process involving countercurrent multiplication, the source of the gradient in the inner medulla is unclear. The last two decades have witnessed advances in our understanding of the urine-concentrating mechanism. Details of medullary architecture and permeability properties of the tubules and vessels suggest that the functional and anatomic relationships of these structures may contribute to the osmotic gradient necessary to concentrate urine. Additionally, we are learning more about the membrane transporters involved and their regulatory mechanisms. The role of medullary architecture and membrane transporters in the mammalian urine-concentrating mechanism are the focus of this review.

    Abstract The thin limbs of the loop of Henle, which comprise the intermediate segment, connect the proximal tubule to the distal tubule and lie entirely within the renal medulla. The descending thin limb consists of at least two or three morphologically and functionally distinct subsegments and participates in transepithelial transport of NaCl, urea, and water. Only one functionally distinct segment is recognized for the ascending thin limb, which carries out transepithelial transport of NaCl and urea in the reabsorptive and/or secretory directions. Membrane transporters involved with passive transcellular Cl, urea, and water fluxes have been characterized for thin limbs; however, these pathways do not account for all transepithelial fluid and solute fluxes that have been measured in vivo. The paracellular pathway has been proposed to play an important role in transepithelial Na and urea fluxes in defined thin-limb subsegments. As the transport pathways become clearer, the overall function of the thin limbs is becoming better understood. Primary and secondary signaling pathways and protein-protein interactions are increasingly recognized as important modulators of thin-limb cell function and cell metabolism. These functions must be investigated under diverse extracellular conditions, particularly for those cells of the deep inner medulla that function in an environment of wide variation in hyperosmolality. Transgenic mouse models of several key water and solute transport proteins have provided significant insights into thin-limb function. An understanding of the overall architecture of the medulla, including juxtapositions of thin limbs with collecting ducts, thick ascending limbs, and vasa recta, is essential for understanding the role of the kidney in maintaining Na and water homeostasis, and for understanding the urine concentrating mechanism.

    Abstract Comparative studies of renal structure and function have potential to provide insights into the urine-concentrating mechanism of the mammalian kidney. This review focuses on the tubular transport pathways for water and urea that play key roles in fluid and solute movements between various compartments of the rodent renal inner medulla. Information on aquaporin water channel and urea transporter expression has increased our understanding of functional segmentation of medullary thin limbs of Henle's loops, collecting ducts, and vasa recta. A more complete understanding of membrane transporters and medullary architecture has identified new and potentially significant interactions between these structures and the interstitium. These interactions are now being introduced into our concept of how the inner medullary urine-concentrating mechanism works. A variety of regulatory pathways lead directly or indirectly to variable patterns of fluid and solute movements among the interstitial and tissue compartments. Animals with the ability to produce highly concentrated urine, such as desert species, are considered to exemplify tubular structure and function that optimize urine concentration. These species may provide unique insights into the urine-concentrating process.(1)

    Abstract Renal medullary function is characterized by corticopapillary concentration gradients of various molecules. One example is the generally decreasing axial gradient in oxygen tension (Po2). Another example, found in animals in the antidiuretic state, is a generally increasing axial solute gradient, consisting mostly of NaCl and urea. This osmolality gradient, which plays a principal role in the urine concentrating mechanism, is generally considered to involve countercurrent multiplication and countercurrent exchange, although the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Radial oxygen and solute gradients in the transverse dimension of the medullary parenchyma have been hypothesized to occur, although strong experimental evidence in support of these gradients remains lacking. This review considers anatomic features of the renal medulla that may impact the formation and maintenance of oxygen and solute gradients. A better understanding of medullary architecture is essential for more clearly defining the compartment-to-compartment flows taken by fluid and molecules that are important in producing axial and radial gradients. Preferential interactions between nephron and vascular segments provide clues as to how tubular and interstitial oxygen flows contribute to safeguarding active transport pathways in renal function in health and disease.

    Abstract Understanding dynamics of NaCl reabsorption from loops of Henle, and cellular and physiological consequences, requires a clear understanding of the structural relationships of loops with other functional elements of the inner medulla (IM). Pathways taken by ascending thin limbs (ATLs) and prebend segments along the corticopapillary axis were evaluated for the outer zone of the IM of the Munich-Wistar rat. Connectivity between these segments and microdomains of interstitium adjacent to collecting ducts (CDs) and abutting ascending vasa recta (interstitial nodal spaces) was assessed by evaluating their physical contacts. For each secondary CD cluster, the number of contacts made between the total population of ATLs and interstitial nodal spaces declines as a function of depth below the outer medulla (OM)-IM boundary at near the same exponential rate that loop number declines. The proportion of each loop that makes contact with nodal spaces is inversely related to loop length. Prebend and postbend equivalent length ATL segments lie in contact with an interstitial nodal space along nearly their entire lengths. The number of contacts made by the total population of prebend or postbend segments exhibits a marked, periodic increase and decrease as a function of depth below the OM-IM boundary; this number of contacts correlates with equivalent periodic changes in prebend number. Simulations of loop distribution indicate that small discontinuities in loop distribution contribute to periodic changes in prebend number. Convergence of IM loop bends within CD clusters likely plays an essential role in NaCl compartmentalization by promoting NaCl reabsorption near interstitial regions lying adjacent to CDs and ascending vasa recta.
