    Abstract Steroids are well-known mediators of many different physiological functions. Their best characterized mechanism of action involves interaction with well-defined nuclear receptors and regulation of gene transcription. However, rapid effects of steroids have been reported which are incompatible with their classical long-term/slow effects. Although the concept of membrane-bound receptors for steroids which can transduce their rapid effects has been proposed many years ago, it is only recently that such proteins have been identified and characterized. In this review, we will discuss recent data regarding the rapid action of progesterone mediated by newly characterized membrane-bound receptors belonging to the progestin and adiponectin receptor family.

    Abstract Renal functions are regulated by steroid sex hormones, but the exhaustive identification of their receptors along the nephron is still lacking. Here, we have localized all known nuclear or membrane-bound sex hormone receptors and some of their activators along the nephron of male and female mice. Almost all receptors are present in male and female kidney, some of them having very restricted localization. Only one gene tested among 11 (ARA54) exhibits a gender difference in the level of its expression. This first "renal map" of sex steroid receptor expression may serve as a pre-requisite for investigating the role of these hormones on kidney functions.

    Abstract Modern dietary habits are characterized by high-sodium and low-potassium intakes, each of which was correlated with a higher risk for hypertension. In this study, we examined whether long-term variations in the intake of sodium and potassium induce lasting changes in the plasma concentration of circulating steroids by developing a mathematical model of steroidogenesis in mice. One finding of this model was that mice increase their plasma progesterone levels specifically in response to potassium depletion. This prediction was confirmed by measurements in both male mice and men. Further investigation showed that progesterone regulates renal potassium handling both in males and females under potassium restriction, independent of its role in reproduction. The increase in progesterone production by male mice was time dependent and correlated with decreased urinary potassium content. The progesterone-dependent ability to efficiently retain potassium was because of an RU486 (a progesterone receptor antagonist)-sensitive stimulation of the colonic hydrogen, potassium-ATPase (known as the non-gastric or hydrogen, potassium-ATPase type 2) in the kidney. Thus, in males, a specific progesterone concentration profile induced by chronic potassium restriction regulates potassium balance.

    Abstract Ammonia absorption by the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (MTALH) is thought to be a critical step in renal ammonia handling and excretion in urine, in which it is the main acid component. Basolateral Na+/H+ exchangers have been proposed to play a role in ammonia efflux out of MTALH cells, which express 2 exchanger isoforms: Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) and NHE4. Here, we investigated the role of NHE4 in urinary acid excretion and found that NHE4-/- mice exhibited compensated hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, together with inappropriate urinary net acid excretion. When challenged with a 7-day HCl load, NHE4-/- mice were unable to increase their urinary ammonium and net acid excretion and displayed reduced ammonium medulla content compared with wild-type littermates. Both pharmacologic inhibition and genetic disruption of NHE4 caused a marked decrease in ammonia absorption by the MTALH. Finally, dietary induction of metabolic acidosis increased NHE4 mRNA expression in mouse MTALH cells and enhanced renal NHE4 activity in rats, as measured by in vitro microperfusion of MTALH. We therefore conclude that ammonia absorption by the MTALH requires the presence of NHE4 and that lack of NHE4 reduces the ability of MTALH epithelial cells to create the cortico-papillary gradient of NH3/NH4+ needed to excrete an acid load, contributing to systemic metabolic acidosis.

    Abstract Rat collecting ducts display either an ouabain-insensitive or an ouabain-sensitive K-ATPase activity inhibited by Sch28080 according as animals are fed a normal or a potassium-depleted diet (types I and III K-ATPase, respectively). Two isoforms of H,K-ATPase have been cloned from rat gastric mucosa and colon, respectively. Gastric and colonic H,K-ATPase are expressed in the kidney, suggesting that they might account for types I and III K-ATPases. However, this hypothesis is not fully supported by segmental expression of gastric and colonic H,K-ATPase along the rat collecting duct, as well as by comparison of the pharmacological properties of gastric and colonic H,K-ATPase expressed in Xenopus ovocyte and types I and III K-ATPases in rat collecting ducts. The aim of the present work is to address directly the molecular origin of types I and III K-ATPases in the mouse collecting duct by measuring K-ATPase activities in collecting ducts of wild-type mice and mice genetically deficient in either gastric or colonic H,K-ATPase fed either a regular or a potassium-depleted diet. Like the rat, mouse collecting ducts display type I or III K-ATPase activity when fed a regular or a potassium-depleted diet, respectively. Type I K-ATPase activity is detected in colonic H,K-ATPase-deficient mice but not in gastric H,K-ATPase-deficient animals. Conversely, type III K-ATPase activity disappears in colonic H,K-ATPase-deficient but not in gastric H,K-ATPase-deficient mice. In conclusion, types I and III K-ATPases measured in collecting ducts of normal and potassium-depleted mice reflect the functional expression of gastric and colonic H,K-ATPase, respectively.

    Abstract Sex hormones have broader effects than regulating reproductive functions. Recent identification of membrane progestin receptors expressed in kidney prompted us to investigate their putative involvement in the renal effects of this hormone. We first focused our investigations on mPRalpha and gamma by analyzing three parameters 1/ their distribution along the mouse nephron and their subcellular location in native kidney, 2/ the ability of progesterone to stimulate ERK pathway and/or Ca(2+) release from internal stores in native kidney structures and 3/ the cellular localization of mPRalpha and its molecular determinants in heterologous expression system. We observed that 1/ mPRalpha expression is restricted to proximal tubules of both male and female mice whereas mPRgamma exhibits a much broader expression all along the nephron except the glomerulus, 2/ mPRalpha and gamma are not localized at the plasma membrane in native kidney, 3/ this expression does not permit either progesterone-induced ERK phosphorylation or Ca(2+) release and 4/ in HEK transfected cells, mPRalpha localizes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) due to a C-terminal ER retention motif (-KXX). Therefore, we have characterized mPRs in kidney but their role in renal physiology remains to be elucidated.

    Abstract Although adult kidney cells are quiescent, enlargement of specific populations of epithelial cells occurs during repair and adaptive processes. A prerequisite to the development of regenerative therapeutics is to identify the mechanisms and factors that control the size of specific populations of renal cells. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is unknown whether the growth of cell populations results from transdifferentiation or proliferation and whether proliferating cells derive from epithelial cells or from circulating or resident progenitors. In this study, the mechanisms underlying the enlargement of the acid-secreting cell population in the mouse kidney collecting duct in response to metabolic acidosis was investigated. Acidosis led to two phases of proliferation that preferentially affected the acid-secreting cells of the outer medullary collecting duct. All proliferating cells displayed polarized expression of functional markers. The first phase of proliferation, which started within 24 h and peaked at day 3, was dependent on the overexpression of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) and cyclin D1 and was abolished when phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin were inhibited. During this phase, cells mostly divided along the tubular axis, contributing to tubule lengthening. The second phase of proliferation was independent of GDF15 but was associated with induction of cyclin D3. During this phase, cells divided transversely. In summary, acid-secreting cells proliferate as the collecting duct adapts to metabolic acidosis, and GDF15 seems to be an important determinant of collecting duct lengthening.

    Abstract The heteromeric inwardly rectifying Kir4.1/Kir5.1 K(+) channel underlies the basolateral K(+) conductance in the distal nephron and is extremely sensitive to inhibition by intracellular pH. The functional importance of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 in renal ion transport has recently been highlighted by mutations in the human Kir4.1 gene (KCNJ10) that result in seizures, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, mental retardation, and electrolyte imbalance (SeSAME)/epilepsy, ataxia, sensorineural deafness, and renal tubulopathy (EAST) syndrome, a complex disorder that includes salt wasting and hypokalemic alkalosis. Here, we investigated the role of the Kir5.1 subunit in mice with a targeted disruption of the Kir5.1 gene (Kcnj16). The Kir5.1(-/-) mice displayed hypokalemic, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with hypercalciuria. The short-term responses to hydrochlorothiazide, an inhibitor of ion transport in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), were also exaggerated, indicating excessive renal Na(+) absorption in this segment. Furthermore, chronic treatment with hydrochlorothiazide normalized urinary excretion of Na(+) and Ca(2+), and abolished acidosis in Kir5.1(-/-) mice. Finally, in contrast to WT mice, electrophysiological recording of K(+) channels in the DCT basolateral membrane of Kir5.1(-/-) mice revealed that, even though Kir5.1 is absent, there is an increased K(+) conductance caused by the decreased pH sensitivity of the remaining homomeric Kir4.1 channels. In conclusion, disruption of Kcnj16 induces a severe renal phenotype that, apart from hypokalemia, is the opposite of the phenotype seen in SeSAME/EAST syndrome. These results highlight the important role that Kir5.1 plays as a pH-sensitive regulator of salt transport in the DCT, and the implication of these results for the correct genetic diagnosis of renal tubulopathies is discussed.

    Abstract The heteromeric inwardly rectifying Kir4.1/Kir5.1 K⁺ channel underlies the basolateral K⁺ conductance in the distal nephron and is extremely sensitive to inhibition by intracellular pH. The functional importance of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 in renal ion transport has recently been highlighted by mutations in the human Kir4.1 gene (KCNJ10) that result in seizures, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, mental retardation, and electrolyte imbalance (SeSAME)/epilepsy, ataxia, sensorineural deafness, and renal tubulopathy (EAST) syndrome, a complex disorder that includes salt wasting and hypokalemic alkalosis. Here, we investigated the role of the Kir5.1 subunit in mice with a targeted disruption of the Kir5.1 gene (Kcnj16). The Kir5.1⁻/⁻ mice displayed hypokalemic, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with hypercalciuria. The short-term responses to hydrochlorothiazide, an inhibitor of ion transport in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), were also exaggerated, indicating excessive renal Na⁺ absorption in this segment. Furthermore, chronic treatment with hydrochlorothiazide normalized urinary excretion of Na⁺ and Ca²⁺, and abolished acidosis in Kir5.1⁻/⁻ mice. Finally, in contrast to WT mice, electrophysiological recording of K⁺ channels in the DCT basolateral membrane of Kir5.1⁻/⁻ mice revealed that, even though Kir5.1 is absent, there is an increased K⁺ conductance caused by the decreased pH sensitivity of the remaining homomeric Kir4.1 channels. In conclusion, disruption of Kcnj16 induces a severe renal phenotype that, apart from hypokalemia, is the opposite of the phenotype seen in SeSAME/EAST syndrome. These results highlight the important role that Kir5.1 plays as a pH-sensitive regulator of salt transport in the DCT, and the implication of these results for the correct genetic diagnosis of renal tubulopathies is discussed.
