. W! a4 u8 @/ G5 }      Extracellular nucleotides, acting through the P2Y 2 receptor andthe associated phosphoinositide-Ca 2   signaling pathway, inhibit AVP-stimulated osmotic water permeability in rat inner medullarycollecting duct (IMCD). Because a rise in intracellular Ca 2   is frequently associated with enhanced arachidonicacid metabolism, we examined the effect of activation of the P2Y 2 receptor on release of PGE 2 in freshly prepared rat IMCDsuspensions. Unstimulated IMCD released moderate, but significant, amounts ofPGE 2, which were more sensitive to cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 thanCOX-1 inhibition. Agonist activation of P2Y 2 receptor by adenosine5'- O -(3-thiotriphosphate) enhanced release of PGE 2 from IMCD in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion. Purinergic-stimulated release of PGE 2 was completely blocked bynonspecific COX inhibitors (flurbiprofen and 2-acetoxyphenylhept-2-ynyl sulfide). Differential COX inhibition studies revealed that purinergic-stimulated release of PGE 2 was more sensitive to aCOX-1-specific inhibitor (valeroyl salicylate) than a COX-2-specific inhibitor(NS-398). Thus purinergic stimulation resulted in significantly more releaseof PGE 2 in the presence of COX-2 inhibitor than COX-1 inhibitor. Ifit is assumed that increased release of PGE 2 is related to itsincreased production, our results suggest that purinergic stimulation of IMCDresults in enhanced production and release of PGE 2 in aCOX-1-dependent fashion. Because PGE 2 is known to affect transportof water, salt, and urea in IMCD, interaction of the purinergic system withthe prostanoid system in IMCD can modulate handling of water, salt, and ureaby IMCD and, thus, may constitute an AVP-independent regulatory mechanism.

                  THE MEDULLARY COLLECTING DUCT plays an important role in the regulation of body water, sodium, and acid-base balance and in the recyclingof urea. It is a complex tubular segment that responds to stimulation by avariety of hormones or autacoids or paracrine agents, such as AVP, -and -adrenergic agonists, adenosine, atrial natriuretic peptide,bradykinin, endothelin, epidermal growth factor, muscarinic cholinergicagents, and PGE 2. These agents act through a variety of signalingpathways or systems, such as adenylyl cyclase, guanylyl cyclase,phospholipases A 2 and C, and the associated protein kinases( 40 ). These diverse signalingpathways interact with each other in modulation of the overall function of theinner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Central to this interaction is themutually inhibitory relation between the activation of adenylyl cyclase andphospholipases. Thus increased cellular cAMP content impairs activation of phospholipases A 2 and C, and, conversely, stimulation ofphospholipase C impairs AVP-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity viaactivation of protein kinase C( 40 ).

Extracellular nucleotides bind to specific subtypes of P2 purinergic receptors on cell membranes and elicit a wide variety of biological responsesin several tissues. P2 receptors are classified into two families: theion-tropic P2X and the metabotropic P2Y receptors. The former areextracellular nucleotide-activated membrane channels that allow a variety ofions and/or small molecules to enter the cells( 31, 32 ). The P2Y receptors are Gprotein-coupled receptors that mostly act through the phosphoinositidesignaling pathway ( 10, 42 ). Recent experimentalstudies have unraveled the role of extracellular nucleotides and autocrineand/or paracrine purinergic signaling in the regulation of glomerular, microvascular, and epithelial functions of the kidney in health and disease( 3, 19, 27, 37, 38 ).

Using a pharmacological approach of measuring the agonist-stimulated risein intracellular calcium responses, Ecelbarger et al. ( 12 ) identified andcharacterized the presence of the P2Y 2 (previously known as P2u)receptor in rat IMCD. Kishore et al.( 23 ) showed that extracellularnucleotides (ATP/UTP) inhibit the AVP-stimulated osmotic water permeability ofin vitro microperfused rat IMCD, thus establishing a physiological role forthe P2Y 2 receptor in IMCD. Subsequently, Kishore et al.( 24 ) demonstrated by molecularapproaches that P2Y 2 receptor mRNA and protein are expressed in ratIMCD. Immunocytochemical localization studies revealed the expression ofP2Y 2 receptor protein on apical and basal domains of collectingduct cells, as well as on thin limbs and vascular elements( 24 ).3 D( H, g$ G) ~.

A rise in intracellular calcium, such as that induced by agonist stimulation of the P2Y 2 receptor in the medullary collecting duct,is known to be frequently associated with enhanced arachidonic acidmetabolism. It has been demonstrated that, in several types of tissues orcells (e.g., guinea pig ileum and uterus, bovine aortic smooth muscle cells,rabbit heart and tracheal epithelial cells, isolated rat dura mater, thymicepithelial cells and astrocytes, porcine or human endothelial cells, and mouseperitoneal macrophages), agonist activation of P2Y receptors resulted instimulation of arachidonic acid metabolism and production of prostanoids. Inmost of these tissues or cells, especially those of nonendothelial nature, thepredominant prostanoid produced was PGE 2 ( 1, 2, 9, 11, 14, 16, 20, 28, 33, 34, 39, 44 ).

$ @, \+ Q! F' ]; U& l& c' cExperiments conducted on Madin-Darby canine kidney-D1 cells also revealedthat agonist stimulation of the P2Y 2 receptor results in activationof cytosolic phospholipase A 2 (cPLA 2 ) and release ofarachidonic acid in a protein kinase C- and MAPK-dependent fashion( 43 ). However, to the best ofour knowledge, no studies are available on the synthesis and release ofprostanoids by renal medullary collecting duct cells after purinergicstimulation. Initial experiments conducted by Ecelbarger et al.( 12 ) demonstrated that whenterminal IMCD segments of rat were exposed to indomethacin, a nonspecificinhibitor of cyclooxygenases (COX), for 5 min and then challenged with ATP,the signals displayed a reduced intracellular calcium peak. This findingsuggests that, in rat IMCD, purinergic activation stimulates arachidonic acid metabolism and enhanced production of COX products, which apparently potentiate the intracellular calcium response. On the basis of theseobservations, we hypothesized that COX products of arachidonic acidmetabolism, such as PGE 2, are formed and released as a result ofagonist activation of the P2Y 2 receptor in rat IMCD. To test thishypothesis, we conducted studies on freshly prepared rat IMCD suspensions andexamined whether the basal and adensoine5'- O -(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP S)-stimulated release ofPGE 2 was affected by nonspecific inhibitors of COX or COX-1- orCOX-2-specific inhibitors.

Fractions enriched in IMCD were prepared from rat kidney inner medullaeessentially as described previously( 24, 26 ). Briefly, rats wereeuthanized by pentobarbital sodium overdose, and both kidneys were removedrapidly. The kidneys were chilled in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline, andthe inner medullae or papillae were dissected on ice and transferred to anisotonic HEPES-buffered physiological solution of the following composition (in mM): 135 NaCl, 0.5 KCl, 0.1 Na 2 HPO 4, 0.3 sodiumacetate, 0.12 NaSO 4, 2.5 CaCl 2, 1.2 MgSO 4, 5HEPES, and 5.5 D -glucose (pH 7.4, 311 ± 9mosmol/kgH 2 O). This solution was oxygenated by bubbling in 95%O 2 -5% CO 2. For each experiment, depending on body weightof the rats, renal papillae from 6-10 rats were pooled to obtain asufficient quantity of the IMCD preparation for 36 incubations. The pooledpapillae were minced with a razor blade and digested at 37°C withcollagenase B (3 mg/ml) and hyaluronidase (600 U/ml) in the sameHEPES-buffered physiological solution for 40-50 min with continuous oxygenation. Halfway through the digestion process, DNase I (GIBCO-BRL,Gaithersburg, MD) was added to the digestion mixture to a final concentrationof 1 U/ml to digest stray DNA released from broken cells. The digestionmixture was intermittently aspirated into and pushed through a glass Pasteurpipette to disperse the tubules into a uniform suspension. After digestion ofthe papillary tissue to a uniform suspension, the IMCD fraction was separatedfrom the non-IMCD elements (thin limbs and vasculature) by sedimentation bylow-speed centrifugation and repeated washings. The final pellet was suspendedin the oxygenated HEPES-buffered physiological solution to a proteinconcentration of 1 mg/ml and kept on ice for 30 min to allow forrecovery of IMCD cells from stress. This preparation consisted of mostly IMCDsegments or sheets of IMCD cells and very few other non-IMCD elements. Representative IMCD fractions were assessed for enrichment and viability byimmunoblotting for collecting duct-specific water channel protein aquaporin-2(AQP2) and by binding of ethidium homodimer-1 to the cellular DNA of deadcells, respectively.

Fractions enriched in IMCD were incubated with or without the addition ofinhibitors of COX and/or nucleotides (ATP S or UTP), and the amount ofPGE 2 released from the cells was assayed. Briefly, the IMCDsuspensions prepared and kept on ice for 30 min for recovery from stress asdescribed above were aliquoted into 1.5-ml plastic microtubes kept on ice.Nucleotide stock solutions (10 x final incubation concentration) wereprepared in the same oxygenated HEPES-buffered physiological solution used forthe preparation of IMCD suspensions. Stock solutions of the various inhibitorswere dissolved in DMSO for preparation at a very high concentration (severalmillimolar, depending on the solubility), aliquoted, and frozen at-20°C. These stock solutions were diluted freshly before use with the HEPES-buffered physiological solution to give 10 x final incubationconcentrations. These dilutions resulted in 0.05-0.3% of DMSO in thefinal incubations. The aliquots of IMCD suspensions were warmed to 37°Cfor 5 min on heat blocks before the agents were added. When nucleotides alonewere used without any inhibitors, the incubations were started immediatelyafter the 5-min warm-up period and lasted for 10 min unless otherwise specified. When the inhibitors were used, the IMCD, after the 5-min warm-upperiod, were preincubated with the inhibitors for 5 or 15 min, depending onthe type of the inhibitor, and incubated for another 10 min after the additionof nucleotides. To control incubations that did not contain any inhibitorand/or nucleotide, equal volumes of the vehicle (incubation buffer) wereadded, so that all the incubations had a final volume of 200 µl. Allincubations were carried out in triplicate. To stop the reactions, chilledHEPES-buffered physiological solution (200 µl) was added and the tubes werekept on ice for a few minutes. The tubes were centrifuged at 8,000 g for 10 min in a cold room (4°C), and 350 µl of the supernatant fromeach tube were transferred to a fresh tube, frozen, and stored at-80°C until assayed for the PGE 2 content. The pelletswith the remaining 50 µl of the incubation buffer were frozen at-20°C for protein assay.

PGE 2 content in the supernatants from the incubations described above was determined according to the instructions of the manufacturer usingthe PGE 2 enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) kit-monoclonal (catalogno. 514010, Cayman Chemical). The absorbance of the product was readspectrophotometrically at 405 nm in a microplate reader (Molecular Devices,Menlo Park, CA). According to the manufacturer, this assay system has aspecificity of 100% to PGE 2 and PGE 2 ethanolamide and 43and 18.7% to PGE 3 and PGE 1, respectively. Otherprostanoids have specificities of 0.01-1%. For our assays, the frozensupernatants were thawed on ice and diluted with EIA buffer to yield finaldilutions of 1:200 and 1:400 with respect to the original incubation. Theassays were run on 50 µl of these diluted samples. The raw data from theplate reader were stored in a computer and analyzed using Soft MaxPro software(Molecular Devices). Protein pellets were thawed at room temperature, andcellular proteins were precipitated and delipidated by addition of methanol.After the separation of methanol by centrifugation and drying, the proteinpellets were dissolved in 0.05 N NaOH. Aliquots of the clear solutions thusobtained were assayed for the protein content by Coomassie Plus protein assayreagent kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL) according to themanufacturer's instructions.

Renal medullarysuspension (whole IM) was fractionated into collecting duct-enriched (IMCD)and non-collecting duct (non-IMCD) fractions. Figure 1 shows an immunoblotprepared from SDS-polyacrylamide gels loaded with an equal amount of proteinfrom each of these fractions and probed with AQP2 antibody. The IMCD fractionwas enriched severalfold in the collecting duct-specific AQP2 protein comparedwith the starting material (whole IM; Fig.1, left and middle lanes ).

Cell viability. We assessed the viability of the cellular elements in the IMCD preparations using ethidium homodimer-1, a DNA stain that willstain only dead or dying cells (see MATERIALS AND METHODS ).Representative examples from one such assay are shown in Fig. 2. Control preparations(vehicle) contained very few cells stained with ethidium homodimer-1,indicating that most of the cells in the preparation were intact and viable.When DMSO was added to a final concentration of 0.3%, the proportion of cellsthat were stained with ethidium homodimer-1 was comparable to that in vehiclecontrols. On the other hand, permeabilization of cells with 1% Triton X-100resulted in staining of all cellular elements with ethidium homodimer. Thisestablished that the cellular elements in IMCD suspensions were viable andremained viable in the presence of DMSO, the solvent used to prepare thevarious inhibitors used in this study. A similar cell viability assay wasperformed using various inhibitors, dissolved in DMSO, at their maximumconcentrations used in this study. These inhibitors also did not show anysignificant effect on cell viability compared with the vehicle controls (datanot shown), which indicates that any of the inhibitory effects on prostanoid biosynthesis were not due to loss of cells. The dead cells in incubations withthese agents, similar to the vehicle controls, were mostly single cells orclumps of a few cells, but not intact tubular segments.) q* }; y5 c+ p( Z* c3 Z

The COX-2-specific inhibitor NS-398 alsocaused a comparable level of decrease in the release of PGE 2, evenat 10 µM. Increasing the concentration of NS-398 to 30 µM did not resultin a further decrease in the amount of PGE 2 released. On the otherhand, 30 µM valeroyl salicylate, a COX-1-specific inhibitor, did not causea significant decrease in the amount of PGE 2 released. Only at the10-fold increase in the concentration of valeroyl salicylate to 300 µM didthe amount of PGE 2 released significantly decrease compared withthe control values. Therefore, all the COX inhibitors tested decreased theamount of unstimulated PGE 2 release. The amounts of PGE 2 shown in Fig. 6 that correspondto the highest concentrations of the COX inhibitors do not actually representthe amount of PGE 2 release that is resistant or insensitive to COXinhibition. Rather, these bars represent the amount of PGE 2 in thepreparation before addition of the inhibitor. Because the procedure for preparation of IMCD suspensions is a lengthy one, cells may releasePGE 2 and other substances into the medium during the process.Therefore, the ability of various inhibitors to prevent the release ofPGE 2 after their addition to the incubation is represented as thedifference between 100% and the lowest values. The minor (but not significant)differences in maximal inhibition between flurbiprofen and APHS incubationsmay likely represent differences in the ability of these inhibitors to reacheffective concentrations in the cell and/or initial rate of COX inactivation.

We demonstrated that 1 ) unstimulated IMCD release moderate, butsignificant, amounts of PGE 2, which are more sensitive to COX-2than COX-1 inhibition, 2 ) activation of the P2Y 2 receptor by the agonist ATP S results in enhanced release of PGE 2 from IMCD in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion, 3 )purinergic-stimulated release of PGE 2 by IMCD is blocked bynonspecific COX inhibition, and 4 ) purinergic-stimulated release ofPGE 2 by IMCD is more sensitive to COX-1- than COX-2-specificinhibition. If it is assumed that increased release of PGE 2 by IMCDis related to its increased production, our results suggest that purinergic stimulation of IMCD causes an enhanced production and release ofPGE 2, which appear to be mediated by COX-1.9 Z: L. e  M, d- @& y+ }+ |- `7 D  R

This preparation is awell-characterized model for the study of hormonal response of IMCD. Wevalidated the purity and viability of the IMCD preparation by demonstratingthe enrichment of collecting duct-specific water channel protein (AQP2) and byvisually assessing the proportion of dead cells by ethidium homodimerstaining, respectively. Because earlier studies have shown thatPGE 2 synthesis in IMCD is sensitive to increasing osmolality of themedium ( 21 ), we carried outall our experiments at 300 mosmol/kgH 2 O to exclude variabilitydue to osmolality of the medium. We also demonstrated that DMSO, the solventused for various inhibitors, and the inhibitors at the concentrations used inthis study do not have a significant effect on the viability of the IMCDcells. The commercial EIA kit used for determination of PGE 2 has a high degree of reproducibility in our hands, with acceptable intra-assay andday-to-day coefficients of variation in the linear range of standardcurve.

) C( H* _6 f8 M2 x  D. D2 |In our experiments, we used the specific agonists ATP S and UTP toexamine the effect of P2Y 2 receptor activation in IMCD on therelease of PGE 2. To the best of our knowledge, the P2Y 2 receptor is the only purinergic receptor with well-characterized expressionand functional significance in rat IMCD( 12, 23, 24 ). Attempts to identifyother purinergic receptors by Ecelbarger et al.( 12 ) did not reveal an effectof stimulation with ADP (a P2Y 1 agonist), 2-methylthio-ATP (aP2Y 1 agonist), and, -methylene-ATP (a P2X agonist) onthe intracellular calcium rise in rat IMCD. Our in vitro microperfusionexperiments also confirmed that rat IMCD does not respond to ADP( 23 ). These studies apparently rule out the possibility that P2Y 1 and P2X receptors are expressed in rat IMCD. Therefore, we focused our research efforts on understanding thecellular and molecular mechanisms of P2Y 2 receptor-mediated effectsin rat IMCD.

" X: J7 s( P5 r' Z! `ATP S was the major agonist that we used to stimulate theP2Y 2 receptor because of its nonhydrolyzable nature, which prevents the formation of adenosine, which can interact with adenosine A 1 receptors in IMCD. We have also observed similar results using otherP2Y 2 agonists (data not shown here). In preliminary experimentsusing the same model of freshly prepared IMCD fractions where RIA was used forthe measurement of PGE 2, we observed that the agonists ATP and UTP(100 µM), but not the nonagonist ADP, stimulated comparable amounts ofPGE 2 release after 10 min of incubation at 37°C. Thosepreliminary studies also showed that carbachol, a muscarinic cholinergicagonist, used as a positive control for intracellular calcium rise, had a similar effect on the production of PGE 2 by IMCD (unpublished data).9 @9 ^; k9 U# s1 S' ~! }+ P' P2 s

* R9 O: t. W9 M3 EThe time course experiments clearly demonstrated that the P2Y 2 agonist-stimulated release of PGE 2 was significantly higher thanthe unstimulated basal release from IMCD. Concentration-response experimentsshowed that the PGE 2 release reaches a plateau at 25 µMATP S, with 50% of the increase at 10 µM. This finding is consistentwith the earlier observations by Ecelbarger et al.( 12 ), who showed that 10 µMATP increased intracellular calcium by 50% of that observed at 100 µM. In vitro microperfusion experiments conducted by us( 23 ) also showed that thedecrease in AVP-stimulated osmotic water permeability in the presence of 100µM ATP is not much different from that caused by 10 µM ATP, thusindicating that higher concentrations of agonists do not have any addedeffect.

& O* f6 k  d/ d5 {# GOur experiments showed that the basal or unstimulated release ofPGE 2 by IMCD was apparently dependent on the activity of COX-2,rather than COX-1, inasmuch as it was more sensitive to the COX-2-specificinhibition. Although there is no evidence in the literature that IMCD cellsexpress COX-2 protein, a recent study using a combination of RT-PCR analysesof microdissected renal tubular segments and immunocytochemistry on tissuesections indicated that COX-2 mRNA, but not protein, was present in rat IMCD( 41 ). However, theseinvestigators could not exclude the possibility that the observed results forCOX-2 mRNA were due to small amounts of residual medullary interstitial cells that remained attached to the IMCD in their preparations( 41 ). Because medullaryinterstitial cells are known to express abundant amounts of COX-2 mRNA andprotein ( 17 ), even a few ofthese cells in the IMCD preparations could result in detectable amounts ofCOX-2 transcripts. The same could also be said for assays for COX-2 activitywith IMCD preparations, where small amounts of medullary interstitial cellscould yield detectable activity. Hence, the COX-2-dependent release ofPGE 2 that we observed under basal conditions was possibly due tosmall amounts of medullary interstitial cells that remained attached tightly to the IMCD preparations. Conversely, it may be due to a yet to be identifiedactivity of COX-2 in IMCD cells in our experimental conditions. This issueneeds further investigation, and we did not address these aspects in thisstudy.

- j7 D# D  N3 Q- R/ Q9 f9 r& b$ z3 ~Because the ATP S-stimulated PGE 2 release by IMCD wascompletely suppressed by two different types of nonspecific COX inhibitors, namely, the competitive and covalent inhibitors flurbiprofen and APHS,respectively, the activity of COX is required for the P2Y 2 receptor-mediated release of PGE 2 in IMCD. On the other hand, ourstudies with differential COX inhibitors revealed that, unlike the basal orunstimulated production, the ATP S-stimulated PGE 2 release isdependent on COX-1, rather than COX-2, activity. These observations areconsistent with the documented expression of the P2Y 2 receptor andCOX-1 in IMCD cells ( 24, 41 ). In our immunocytochemicalstudies using a peptide-derived polyclonal antibody specific to theP2Y 2 receptor, we could not detect P2Y 2 receptor proteinin medullary interstitial cells( 24; unpublishedobservations). Hence, even if present in our IMCD preparations, theinterstitial cells may not respond to stimulation by ATP S./ y2 I! ~* a/ f, n; E: {; y5 _

  v3 `: R  g2 q4 G" wThe availability of arachidonic acid is the rate-limiting step in thesynthesis of prostanoids by COX in many tissues( 18 ). However, our attempts toexamine the effect of inhibition of cPLA 2 activity onATP S-stimulated PGE 2 release using the specific inhibitorAACOCF3 were not successful. This may be due to the difficulties in attainingeffective intracellular concentrations of AACOCF3 under our experimentalconditions. It is also possible that the release of arachidonic acid by IMCDafter P2Y 2 receptor activation is more complex and may likelyinvolve phospholipases other than cPLA 2. This aspect needs furtherinvestigation; hence, it was not probed further in the present series ofexperiments.: [" `( T% Z7 V& X6 G$ Y: Y' v# x

' E; m9 h3 `9 KFinally, from our experiments where we could inhibit the release ofPGE 2 by the IMCD, it appears that the "release" is due to de novo synthesis, and not "secretion" of premade and stored PGE 2. The inhibitors that we used here are known to inhibit theactivities of COX and are not known to inhibit release or secretion ofPGE 2 from cells. Furthermore, available evidence shows that therelease of PGE 2 from cells, including collecting duct principalcells, is dependent on specific prostaglandin transporters (PGTs) in the cellmembranes ( 4 ). Several PGTs have been cloned and characterized. These are broadly expressed inCOX-positive cells and are coordinately regulated by COX. However, there issome evidence in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells that the PGTs areexocytotically inserted into the collecting duct apical membrane, where theycould control the concentration of luminal prostaglandins( 14 ). The various factors thatmay modulate the release of prostaglandins, such as the exocytotic insertionof PGTs into the cell membrane, are poorly understood. Further studies in thisarea of research will definitely shed new light in the near future on theparacrine regulation of collecting duct function.

In conclusion, our study has important physiological significance withregard to the role of purinergic regulation of medullary collecting ductfunction beyond the direct modulation of AVP-stimulated water permeability.Because PGE 2 is known to affect the transport of water, salt, andurea in IMCD ( 29, 35, 36 ), the production andrelease of PGE 2 after purinergic stimulation can indirectly influence handling of water, salt, and urea by the medullary collecting duct.Thus the interaction between the purinergic and prostanoid systems in IMCD,expounded here, further emphasizes the complex nature of the AVP-independentregulatory mechanisms that determine the overall function of IMCD in the renalconcentration mechanism.
