Project description:Identification of gene expressed in the enriched inner medullary collecting duct cells in rat. Experiment Overall Design: Rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells were isolated from 7 male Sprage-Dawley rats by collagenase and hyaluronidase digestion and follow by low speed centrifugation. The non-IMCD cells were collected by centrifugation of supernatant of enriched IMCD samples. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA about 3 ug were used per microarray (Rat 230 2.0 Genechip array). Experiment Overall Design: The experiments were repeat 3 times (3 pairs of IMCD VS non-IMCD)

Project description:We looked at transcriptional changes in immortalized IMCD (inner medullary collecting duct cells) derived from Tgfbr2floxed mice, described in detail in manuscript PMID: 20576806
Project description:miRNA plays a role as post-transcriptional regulator. However, miRNAs in the kidney collecting duct cell have not been well understood. So we aimed to profile miRNAs in the kidney inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells, and to identify the vasopressin-responsive miRNAs in the kidney IMCD cells. The microarray assay revealed that relative expression of miRNAs in the kidney IMCD cells was changed by desmopressin (dDAVP) stimulation. Fresh IMCD tubules were prepared from rat kidney and incubated in the medium in the absence or presence of dDAVP (1 nM, 2 h). Total RNA purified from IMCD tubules was used to analyze miRNA expression by GeneChipM-BM-. miRNA 3.0 Array (Affymetrix).

Project description:The affect of aldosterone on the miRNA landscape in mIMCD-3 cells was determined In the study presented here, the affect of aldosterone was examined on the miRNA content in a murine inner medullary collecting duct cell line
Project description:We assessed the functional role of the cell polarity proteins Par3A and B in inner medullary collecting duct cells (IMCD). Here, we did an interactome analysis from IMCDs after transiently transfecting Par3A or Par3B with a flag tag.
Project description:Regulation of renal water excretion is dependent on control of the molecular water channel aquaporin‐2 by the peptide hormone vasopressin in renal collecting duct cells. The control is in part due to the regulation of transcription of the Aqp2 gene and other genes by vasopressin. A systems biology‐based approach to understanding transcriptional control in renal collecting duct cells depends on knowledge of what transcription factors and other regulatory proteins are present in the cells' nucleus. The goal of this paper is to report comprehensive proteomic profiling of nuclear proteins in native inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells of the rat. Multi‐dimensional separation procedures and state‐of‐the art protein mass spectrometry allowed the high stringency identification of a total of 5105 proteins in nuclear pellet (NP) and nuclear extract (NE) fractions of biochemically isolated rat IMCD cells (URL: https://helixweb.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/IMCD_Nucleus/)*. The analysis identified 369 transcription factor proteins out of the 1371 transcription factors coded by the rat genome. The analysis added 1898 proteins to the recognized proteome of rat IMCD cells, now amounting to 7003 unique proteins. Analysis of samples treated with the vasopressin analog dDAVP (1 nM for 30min) or its vehicle revealed 99 proteins in the NP fraction and 88 proteins in the NE fraction with significant changes in spectral counts (Fisher Exact Test, P<0.005). Among those altered by vasopressin were 7 distinct histone proteins all of which showed decreased abundance in the NP fraction, consistent with a possible effect of vasopressin to induce chromatin remodeling.
Project description:Vasopressin, the antidiuretic hormone, acts on the renal collecting duct. In this experiment both vasopressin (AVP) and the V2R specific agonist dDAVP were infused into Aquaporin 1 knockout animals for 7 days. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes increased by vasopressin receptors in the renal medullary collecting ducts, in the absence of an increase in renal medullary osmolarity (the AQP1 knockouts are concentrating mechanism knockouts). All experiments used inner medulla tissue for the RNA isolation. Hybridizations were performed that compared kidney inner medulla total RNA from three control mice against kidney medulla total RNA from 3 mice infused with either arginine vasopressin (AVP) or des-amino-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP).
