Project description:Objective and hypothesisKlotho is an aging-suppressor gene. Mutation of Klotho gene causes hyperphosphatemia and acute heart failure. However, the relationship of hyperphosphatemia and acute heart failure is unclear. We hypothesize that hyperphosphatemia mediates Klotho deficiency-induced acute heart failure and further that therapeutic reduction of hyperphosphatemia prevents acute heart failure in Klotho mutant (KL(-/-)) mice.Methods and resultsA significant elevation of serum phosphorus levels and a large reduction of heart function were found in KL(-/-) mice by six weeks of age. Normalization of serum phosphorus levels by low phosphate diet (LPD) rescued Klotho deficiency-induced heart failure and extended lifespan in male mice. Klotho deficiency impaired cardiac mitochondrial respiratory enzyme function and increased superoxide production, oxidative stress, and cardiac cell apoptosis in male KL(-/-) mice which can be eliminated by LPD. LPD, however, did not rescue hyperphosphatemia or heart failure in female KL(-/-) mice. LPD did not affect estrogen depletion in female KL(-/-) mice. Normalization of serum estrogen levels by treatment with 17β-estradiol prevented hyperphosphatemia and heart failure in female KL(-/-) mice. Mechanistically, treatment with 17β-estradiol rescued hyperphosphatemia via inhibiting renal Na-Pi co-transporter expression. Normalization of serum phosphorus levels by treatment with 17β-estradiol also abolished cardiac mitochondrial respiratory enzyme dysfunction, ROS overproduction, oxidative stress and cardiac cell apoptosis in female KL(-/-) mice.ConclusionKlotho deficiency causes acute heart failure via hyperphosphatemia in male mice which can be prevented by LPD. 17β-estradiol prevents Klotho deficiency-induced hyperphosphatemia and heart failure by eliminating upregulation of renal Na-Pi co-transporter expression in female mice.

Project description:We studied with biochemical and immunofluorescent techniques the interactions between the actin microfilament and tubulin microtubule cytoskeleton and Na+/P1 co-transport in opossum kidney cells, a line with proximal tubular characteristics. On brief (5 min) incubation of the cells with a low (0.1 mM) concentration of Pi, a rapid F-actin depolymerization takes place, which fails to occur in cells incubated under similar conditions with 1 mM Pi. The disassembly of actin microfilaments could be quantitatively expressed as a 33% increase in the ration of monomeric G-actin to polymerized F-actin (G/F-actin ration from 0.80 +/- 0.03 to 1.06 +/- 0.06, n = 28, P<0.01), owing to a significant decrease in the latter. Under these conditions microfilaments were also markedly destabilized, as shown by their diminished resistance to graded cytochalasin B concentrations. In addition, incubation of opossum kidney cells with low Pi concentrations (0.1 mM) resulted within 5 min in a substantial depolymerization of microtubules, shown by immunofluorescence microscopy and measured as a 70.9 +/- 6.9% (n = 11, P<0.01) decrement by immunoblot analysis. These changes, which occur only when extracellular Pi concentrations are kept low, seem to be related to a significant increase within 5 min in the rate of cellular Pi uptake by 25.5% under these conditions. The shifts in the dynamic equilibria between monomeric and polymerized actin and tubulin in response to cellular Pi uptake were transient, being fully reversible within 30 min. Moreover, the effect of Pi seemed to be specific because inhibition of its uptake by phosphonoformic acid blunted microtubular disassembly markedly. In contrast, measurement of Pi uptake in the presence of agents known to stabilize cytoskeletal structures showed a substantial decrease with phallacidin, which stabilized microfilaments, whereas the microtubule stabilizer taxol had no apparent effect. These results indicate that acute alterations in the polymerization dynamics and stability of both microfilaments and microtubules are involved in the modulation of Na+/Pi co-transport and suggest important cytoskeletal participation in proximal tubular transport functions.

Project description:The stoichiometric properties of Na+- and H+-dependent L-alanine transporters recently identified in luminal-membrane vesicles prepared from proximal convoluted tubules (pars convoluta) and proximal straight tubules (pars recta) of rabbit kidney were studied. We provide indirect evidence suggesting that one Na+ and one H+ ion are co-transported with the L-alanine molecule via Na+-dependent and H+-dependent transport systems located in vesicles from pars convoluta. Furthermore, our experimental data suggest that both the high-affinity and the low-affinity Na+-dependent L-alanine transport systems of pars recta vesicles operate with a 1:1 stoichiometry.

Project description:The role of dopamine D1-like receptors (DR) in the regulation of renal Na+ transporters, natriuresis, and blood pressure is well established. However, the involvement of the angiotensin 1-7 (ANG 1-7)-Mas receptor in the regulation of Na+ balance and blood pressure is not clear. The present study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that ANG 1-7 can regulate Na+ homeostasis by modulating the renal dopamine system. Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with saline alone (vehicle) or saline with ANG 1-7, ANG 1-7 antagonist A-779, DR agonist SKF38393, and antagonist SCH23390. Infusion of ANG 1-7 caused significant natriuresis and diuresis compared with saline alone. Both natriuresis and diuresis were blocked by A-779 and SCH23390. SKF38393 caused a significant, SCH23390-sensitive natriuresis and diuresis, and A-779 had no effect on the SKF38393 response. Concomitant infusion of ANG 1-7 and SKF38393 did not show a cumulative effect compared with either agonist alone. Treatment of renal proximal tubules with ANG 1-7 or SKF38393 caused a significant decrease in Na+-K+-ATPase and Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 activity. While SCH23390 blocked both ANG 1-7- and SKF38393-induced inhibition, the DR response was not sensitive to A-779. Additionally, ANG 1-7 activated PKG, enhanced tyrosine hydroxylase activity via Ser40 phosphorylation, and increased renal dopamine production. These data suggest that ANG 1-7, via PKG, enhances tyrosine hydroxylase activity, which increases renal dopamine production and activation of DR and subsequent natriuresis. This study provides evidence for a unidirectional functional interaction between two G protein-coupled receptors to regulate renal Na+ transporters and induce natriuresis.

Project description:Determining the individual roles of the two dopamine D1-like receptors (D1R and D5R) on sodium transport in the human renal proximal tubule has been complicated by their structural and functional similarity. Here we used a novel D5R-selective antagonist (LE-PM436) and D1R- or D5R-specific gene silencing to determine second messenger coupling pathways and heterologous receptor interaction between the two receptors. D1R and D5R colocalize in renal proximal tubule cells and physically interact, as determined by co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescent resonance energy transfer microscopy. Stimulation of renal proximal tubule cells with fenoldopam (D1R/D5R agonist) led to both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C (PLC) activation using real-time fluorescent resonance energy transfer biosensors ICUE3 and CYPHR, respectively. Fenoldopam increased cAMP accumulation and PLC activity and inhibited both NHE3 and NaKATPase activities. LE-PM436 and D5R siRNA blocked the fenoldopam-stimulated PLC pathway but not cAMP accumulation, whereas D1R siRNA blocked both fenoldopam-stimulated cAMP accumulation and PLC signaling. Either D1R or D5R siRNA, or LE-PM436 blocked the fenoldopam-dependent inhibition of sodium transport. Further studies using the cAMP-selective D1R/D5R agonist SKF83822 and PLC-selective D1R/D5R agonist SKF83959 confirmed the cooperative influence of the two pathways on sodium transport. Thus, D1R and D5R interact in the inhibition of NHE3 and NaKATPase activity, the D1R primarily by cAMP, whereas the D1R/D5R heteromer modulates the D1R effect through a PLC pathway.

Project description:To understand the structural basis for the Na(+)-sensitivity of ligand binding to dopamine D2-like receptors, using computational analysis in combination with binding assays, we identified interactions critical in propagating the impact of Na(+) on receptor conformations and on the ligand-binding site. Our findings expand the pharmacologically-relevant conformational spectrum of these receptors.

Project description:We have isolated two cDNA clones, NaPi-2 and NaPi-3, by screening rat kidney cortex and human kidney cortex cDNA libraries, respectively, for expression of sodium-dependent phosphate transport in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Substrate specificity and a detailed kinetic analysis (Na, Pi, H+ concentrations) suggested that expressed uptake activities relate to proximal tubular brush border membrane Na/Pi cotransport. NaPi-2 cDNA contains 2464 bp encoding a protein of 637 aa; NaPi-3 cDNA contains 2573 bp encoding a protein of 639 aa. NaPi-2- and NaPi-3-deduced protein sequences show high homology to each other but are different from the protein sequence deduced from the previously cloned NaPi-1 cDNA (from rabbit proximal tubules). Hydropathy profile predictions suggest at least eight membrane-spanning regions in NaPi-2/3-related proteins. In vitro translation results in proteins of the expected size and suggests glycosylation. Northern blot analysis shows corresponding mRNA species (approximately 2.7 kb) in kidney cortex of various species but no hybridization with RNAs isolated from a variety of other tissues (including intestinal segments); a hybridization signal (approximately 4.8 kb) was observed only in the lung (human). We conclude that we have structurally identified two closely related proteins most likely involved in human and rat renal brush border Na/Pi cotransport.

Project description:Dietary Pi and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are two most important physiological and pathophysiological regulators of Pi re-absorption in the renal proximal tubule. Effects of dietary Pi on Na+/Pi co-transporter NaPi-2 were investigated in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats. NaPi-2 protein and mRNA in the kidney cortex of TPTX rats were increased approximately 3.8- and 2.4-fold in amount respectively compared with those in the sham-operated animals. Administration of PTH to the TPTX rats resulted in a decrease in the amount of NaPi-2 protein, but not in the abundance of NaPi-2 mRNA. Deprivation of dietary Pi in the TPTX rats did not affect the amount of NaPi-2 mRNA and protein. In the Pi-deprived TPTX rats, feeding of a high-Pi diet resulted in marked decreases in Pi transport activity and the amount of NaPi-2 protein in the superficial nephrons. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that administration of PTH to TPTX rats resulted in a decrease in NaPi-2 immunoreactivity from both superficial and juxtamedullary nephrons within 4 h. Switching TPTX animals from a low-Pi diet to the high-Pi diet decreased NaPi-2 immunoreactivity from superficial nephrons, but not from juxtamedullary nephrons, within 4 h. These results suggest that dietary Pi could regulate the amount of NaPi-2 protein in the superficial nephrons in a PTH-independent manner.

Project description:Significance: The kidney plays an important role in the long-term control of blood pressure. Oxidative stress is one of the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the development of hypertension. Dopamine, via five subtypes of receptors, plays an important role in the control of blood pressure by various mechanisms, including the inhibition of oxidative stress. Recent Advances: Dopamine receptors exert their regulatory function to decrease the oxidative stress in the kidney and ultimately maintain normal sodium balance and blood pressure homeostasis. An aberration of this regulation may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Critical Issues: Our present article reviews the important role of oxidative stress and intrarenal dopaminergic system in the regulation of blood pressure, summarizes the current knowledge on renal dopamine receptor-mediated antioxidation, including decreasing reactive oxygen species production, inhibiting pro-oxidant enzyme nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, and stimulating antioxidative enzymes, and also discusses its underlying mechanisms, including the increased activity of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4) and abnormal trafficking of renal dopamine receptors in hypertensive status. Future Directions: Identifying the mechanisms of renal dopamine receptors in the regulation of oxidative stress and their contribution to the pathogenesis of hypertension remains an important research focus. Increased understanding of the role of reciprocal regulation between renal dopamine receptors and oxidative stress in the regulation of blood pressure may give us novel insights into the pathogenesis of hypertension and provide a new treatment strategy for hypertension.

Project description:Arsenic contamination is a major environmental issue, as it may lead to serious health hazard. The reduced trivalent form of inorganic arsenic, arsenite, is in general more toxic to plants compared with the fully oxidized pentavalent arsenate. The uptake of arsenite in plants has been shown to be mediated through a large subfamily of plant aquaglyceroporins, nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs). However, the efflux mechanisms, as well as the mechanism of arsenite-induced root growth inhibition, remain poorly understood. Using molecular physiology, synchrotron imaging, and root transport assay approaches, we show that the cellular transport of trivalent arsenicals in Arabidopsis thaliana is strongly modulated by PIN FORMED 2 (PIN2) auxin efflux transporter. Root transport assay using radioactive arsenite, X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) coupled with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis revealed that pin2 plants accumulate higher concentrations of arsenite in roots compared with the wild-type. At the cellular level, arsenite specifically targets intracellular sorting of PIN2 and thereby alters the cellular auxin homeostasis. Consistently, loss of PIN2 function results in arsenite hypersensitivity in roots. XFI coupled with XAS further revealed that loss of PIN2 function results in specific accumulation of arsenical species, but not the other metals such as iron, zinc, or calcium in the root tip. Collectively, these results suggest that PIN2 likely functions as an arsenite efflux transporter for the distribution of arsenical species in planta.
