Vasopressin V1a Receptors Regulate Cerebral Aquaporin 1 after Traumatic Brain Injury.


ABSTRACT: Brain edema formation contributes to secondary brain damage and unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Aquaporins (AQP), highly selective water channels, are involved in the formation of post-trauma brain edema; however, their regulation is largely unknown. Because vasopressin receptors are involved in AQP-mediated water transport in the kidney and inhibition of V1a receptors reduces post-trauma brain edema formation, we hypothesize that cerebral AQPs may be regulated by V1a receptors. Cerebral Aqp1 and Aqp4 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and AQP1 and AQP4 protein levels were quantified in wild-type and V1a receptor knockout (V1a-/-) mice before and 15?min, 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24?h after experimental TBI by controlled cortical impact. In non-traumatized mice, we found AQP1 and AQP4 expression in cortical neurons and astrocytes, respectively. Experimental TBI had no effect on Aqp4 mRNA or AQP4 protein expression, but increased Aqp1 mRNA (p?
