Water homeostasis of the nervous system is important during neural signal transduction. Astrocytes are crucial in water transport in the central nervous system under both physiological and pathological conditions. To date, five aquaporins (AQP) have been found in rat brain astrocytes. Most studies have focused on AQP4 and AQP9, however, little is known about the expression of AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 as well as their regulating mechanism in astrocytes. The expression patterns of AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 in astrocytes exposed to hyperosmotic solutions were examined to clarify the roles of AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 in astrocyte water movement. The expression of AQP4 and AQP9 under the same hyperosmotic conditions was also investigated. The AQP4 and AQP9 expressions continuously increased until 12 h after hyperosmotic solution exposure, whereas the AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 expressions continued to increase until 6 h after hyperosmotic solution exposure. The different AQPs decreased at corresponding time points (24 h for AQP4 andAQP9; 12 h for AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 after hyperosmotic solution exposure). The ERK inhibitor can attenuate the expression of AQP3, ‐5, and ‐8 after hyperosmotic solution exposure. The p38 inhibitor can inhibit the AQP4 and AQP9 expressions in cultured astrocytes. AQP expression is directly related to the extracellular hyperosmotic stimuli. Moreover, different AQPs can be regulated by a distinct MAPK signal transduction pathway. J. Cell.

Birds can produce hyperosmotic urine, but their renal morphology differs from that of mammals. Recent studies in mammals, suggested that various aquaporins (AQPs) are present in the kidney and play crucial roles in urine production. To elucidate the role of AQPs in the avian kidney, we first examined for the presence of AQP1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 9 mRNAs in the chick (Gallus gallus) kidney by RT-PCR analysis. Next, we quantified variations of AQPs mRNAs levels in chick kidney after hyperosmotic stimulation (water-deprivation or salt-loading) by real-time RT-PCR analysis. Our study showed that in addition to AQP1, 2, 3, 4 and 7, chick kidney also expressed AQP9 and that hyperosmotic stimulation induced changes in AQPs expression. In particular, water-deprivation increased AQP2 and AQP3 mRNAs levels, whereas salt-loading induced a significant increase in AQP1, AQP2 and AQP9 mRNAs levels. AQP4 and AQP7 mRNA levels were not affected by any hyperosmotic stimulation. Taken together, these results indicated that the presence of AQPs in chick kidney is similar to that in mammals, that the chick kidney has an additional AQP9 and that AQP1, 2, 3 and 9 may play a crucial but different role in water permeability in this organ. 相似文献

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (including LTC(4), LTD(4), and LTE(4)), potent inflammatory mediators, can induce brain-blood barrier (BBB) disruption and brain edema. These reactions are mediated by their receptors, CysLT(1) and CysLT(2) receptors. On the other hand, aquaporin 4 (AQP4) primarily modulates brain water homeostasis and edema after various injuries. Here, we aimed to determine whether AQP4 is involved in LTD(4)-induced brain edema. LTD(4) (1ng in 0.5mul PBS) microinjection into the cortex increased endogenous IgG exudation (BBB disruption) and water content (brain edema), and enhanced AQP4 expression in mouse brain. The selective CysLT(1) receptor antagonist pranlukast inhibited the IgG exudation, but not the increased water content and AQP4 expression induced by LTD(4). In the cultured rat astrocytes, LTD(4) (10(-9)-10(-7)M, for 24h) similarly enhanced AQP4 expression. The enhanced AQP4 expression was inhibited by Bay u9773, a non-selective CysLT(1)/CysLT(2) receptor antagonist, but not by pranlukast. LTD(4) (10(-9)-10(-7)M) also induced the mRNA expression of CysLT(2) (not CysLT(1)) receptor in astrocytes. These results indicate that LTD(4) modulates brain edema; CysLT(1) receptor mediates vasogenic edema while CysLT(2) receptor may mediate cytotoxic edema via up-regulating AQP4 expression. 相似文献

The increased intracranial pressure caused by brain edema following traumatic brain injury (TBI) always leads to poor patient prognosis. Aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) plays an important role in edema formation and resolution, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for edema treatment. In this present study, we found that propofol treatment, within a short time, after TBI significantly reduced brain edema in a controlled cortical injury rat model and suppressed in vivo expression of AQP-4. The ameliorating effect of propofol was associated with attenuated expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). In addition, the regulatory effect of propofol on AQP-4 expression was investigated in cultured astrocytes. Results showed that propofol could block the stimulatory effect of IL-1β and TNF-α on AQP-4 expression in cultured astrocytes. We also found that both NFκB and p38/MAPK pathways were involved in IL-1β and TNF-α-induced AQP-4 expression and that propofol functions as a dual inhibitor of NFκB and p38/MAPK pathways. In conclusion, treatment with propofol, within a short time, after TBI attenuates cerebral edema and reduces the expression of AQP-4. Propofol modulates acute AQP-4 expression by attenuating IL-1β and TNF-α expression and inhibiting IL-1β and TNF-α induced AQP-4 expression. 相似文献

Edema formation has been linked to thrombin toxicity induced by blood clot at the acute stage of intracerebral hemorrhage.
Thrombin induces cell toxicity in neuron, microglia and astrocyte. Aquaporin (AQP) 4 and 9 are proteins expressed on astrocyte
in rat brain and involved in the brain water accumulation in brain edema. Recombinant hirudin (r-Hirudin) is a direct inhibitor
of thrombin that can block the toxicitic effect of thrombin. In this study, we demonstrated that autologous whole blood infusion
in caudate nucleus up-regulates the expression of AQP4 and AQP9 mRNAs and proteins. AQP4 and AQP9 mRNAs expression peaked
at about 6 h after blood infusion. The AQP4 protein peaked at about 48 h while AQP9 at about 24 h after blood infusion. Thrombin
induced up-regulation of AQP4 and AQP9 were inhibited by r-Hirudin administration and significantly decreased the expression
of both AQPs. We further investigated the relationship between edema formation and expression of AQP4 and AQP9. The data presented
here may be helpful in optimizing r-Hirudin as an anti-thrombin drug in the treatment of edema at the acute stage of ICH.

Interleukin-1beta induces the expression of aquaporin-4 through a nuclear factor-kappaB pathway in rat astrocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Interleukin (IL)-1beta is known to play a role in the formation of brain edema after various types of injury. Aquaporin (AQP)4 is also reported to be involved in the progression of brain edema. We tested the hypothesis that AQP4 is induced in response to IL-1beta. We found that expression of AQP4 mRNA and protein was significantly up-regulated by IL-1beta in cultured rat astrocytes, and that intracerebroventricular administration of IL-1beta increased the expression of AQP4 protein in rat brain. The effects of IL-1beta on induction of AQP4 were concentration and time dependent. The effects of IL-1beta on AQP4 were mediated through IL-1beta receptors because they were abolished by co-incubation with IL-1 receptor antagonist. It appeared that IL-1beta increased the level of AQP4 mRNA without involvement of de novo protein synthesis because cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, did not inhibit the effects of IL-1beta. Inhibition of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway blocked the induction of AQP4 by IL-1beta in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings show that IL-1beta induces expression of AQP4 through a NF-kappaB pathway without involvement of de novo protein synthesis in rat astrocytes. 相似文献

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) exhibited high potential in tissue repair and regeneration, and it has been proved that ADSCs could protect brain cells from apoptosis and maintaining blood-brain barrier stability after cerebral vascular disease. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential and mechanism of ADSCs stereotactic transplantation in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mice model and hemin-treated astrocytes. Mice were divided into three groups: sham group, ICH + PBS group, and ICH + ADSC group. Mice in ICH + ADSC group received ADSCs cell suspension stereotactic transplantation into the area beside the bleeding region. Astrocytes were divided into three groups: control group, hemin group, and hemin + ADSC group. Astrocytes in hemin + ADSC group were cultured in ADSCs-astrocyte no-contact coculture system and treated with 30 μM hemin solution. The results showed that ADSCs stereotactic transplantation improved functional outcomes and reduced cell apoptosis after ICH. Moreover, ADSCs stereotactic transplantation could alleviate brain edema and inflammation and AQP4 protein expression contributed to the alleviation of brain edema. In addition, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, including p38/MAPK pathway and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway, were involved in AQP4 modulation by ADSCs transplantation in ICH. In conclusion, ADSCs transplantation could alleviate the nervous tissue injury, reduce cell apoptosis, and relieve brain edema in ICH. And the edema regulation effect of ADSCs transplantation is associated with inhibition of inflammation and AQP4 protein expression. 相似文献

Acute encephalopathy is a generic term for acute brain dysfunction occurring after infection. Acute encephalopathy induced by influenza virus results in high mortality, and most cases of influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) result in brain edema. Administration of diclofenac sodium (DCF), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is associated with a significant increased mortality rate of IAE. These previous clinical findings proposed further investigation of DCF administration and brain edema to clarify how DCF aggravates IAE. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the predominant water channel protein in the mammalian brain, and is mainly expressed in astrocytes. AQP4 plays an important role in brain water homeostasis. Therefore, we investigated a possible association between DCF and AQP4 production in astrocytes. We stimulated cultured rat astrocytes with three cytokines, interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, and interferon γ, and then treated with DCF. DCF enhanced proinflammatory cytokine-induced AQP4 gene and protein expression in astrocytes, whereas DCF alone did not change the AQP4 gene expression. The addition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitor abrogated AQP4 gene and protein expression completely in astrocytes treated with cytokines alone and in those also treated with DCF. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that AQP4 is upregulated in astrocyte by proinflammatory cytokines, and that the addition of DCF further augments AQP4 production. This effect is mediated via NF-κB signaling. The enhancement of AQP4 production by DCF may explain the significantly increased mortality rates in IAE patients treated with DCF. 相似文献

The eye contains numerous water channel proteins and the roles of AQPs (aquaporins) in the retina are blurred, especially under disease conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of AQP9 gene and proteins affected by elevated IOP (intraocular pressure) in a rat model of glaucoma induced by intravitreous injection of hypertonic saline into the episcleral veins. The gene and protein expressions of AQP9 were investigated by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The immunoreactive expression of AQP9, AQP4 and GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) in the optic nerve of rats exposed to experimentally elevated IOP was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy. The mRNA and protein expression levels of AQP9 were up-regulated in the retina of an animal model of glaucoma. The immunoreactivities of the AQP9, AQP4 and GFAP were also detected and increased in the optic nerve region. The expression of AQP9 was up-regulated in this glaucoma model and the immunoreactivities of the AQP4 and GFAP were also detected as co-localizing with AQP9 in the optic nerve region, indicating retina ganglion cells were surrounded by activated astrocytes. This may indicate that the injured neurons may rely on the astrocytes. The alterations of AQP expression may compensate the glaucomatous damage. 相似文献

In isosmotic conditions, insulin stimulation of PI 3-K/Akt and p38 MAPK pathways in skeletal muscle inhibits Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) activity induced by the ERK1,2 MAPK pathway. Whether these signaling cascades contribute to NKCC regulation during osmotic challenge is unknown. Increasing osmolarity by 20 mosM with either glucose or mannitol induced NKCC-mediated (86)Rb uptake and water transport into rat soleus and plantaris skeletal muscle in vitro. This NKCC activity restored intracellular water. In contrast to mannitol, hyperosmolar glucose increased ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Glucose, but not mannitol, impaired insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and p38 MAPK in the plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively. Hyperosmolarity-induced NKCC activation was insensitive to insulin action and pharmacological inhibition of ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK pathways. Paradoxically, cAMP-producing agents, which stimulate NKCC activity in isosmotic conditions, suppressed hyperosmolar glucose- and mannitol-induced NKCC activity and prevented restoration of muscle cell volume in hyperosmotic media. These results indicate that NKCC activity helps restore muscle cell volume during hyperglycemia. Moreover, hyperosmolarity activates NKCC regulatory pathways that are insensitive to insulin inhibition. 相似文献

Methamphetamine (METH) abuse/misuse is a worldwide problem, and despite extensive characterization of its neurotoxicity over the last years, many questions remain unanswered. Recently, it was shown that METH compromises the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and causes a disturbance in the water homeostasis leading to brain edema. Importantly, water transport at BBB is regulated by water channels, aquaporins (AQPs), with AQP4 being expressed in astrocytic end-feet surrounding brain endothelium. Thus, the main goal of this work was to unravel the role of AQP4 under conditions of METH consumption. Our results show that METH (4× 10 mg/kg, 2 h apart, i.p.) interferes with AQP4 protein levels causing brain edema and BBB breakdown in both mice striatum and hippocampus, which culminated in locomotor and motivational impairment. Furthermore, these effects were prevented by pharmacological blockade of AQP4 with a specific inhibitor (TGN-020). Moreover, siRNA knockdown of this water channel protected astrocytes from METH-induced swelling and morphologic alterations. Herein, we unraveled AQP4 as a new therapeutic target to prevent the negative impact of METH. 相似文献

It is now over 10 years ago that aquaporin 1 (AQP1) was discovered and cloned from the red blood cells, and in 2003 the Nobel price in Chemistry was awarded to Pr. Peter Agre for his work on AQPs, highlighting the importance of these proteins in life sciences. AQPs are water channels. To date this protein family is composed of 11 sub-types in mammalians. Three main AQPs described in the mammalian brain are AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9. Several recent studies have shown that these channels are implicated in numerous physiological functions. AQP1 has a role in cerebrospinal fluid formation, whereas AQP4 is involved in water homeostasis and extracellular osmotic pressure in brain parenchyma. AQP4 seems also to have an important function in oedema formation after brain trauma or brain ischemia. AQP9 is implicated in brain energy metabolism. The level of expression of each AQP is highly regulated. After a trauma or an ischemia perturbation of the central nervous system, the level of expression of each AQP is differentially modified, resulting in facilitating oedema formation. At present, the exact role of each AQP is not yet determined. A better understanding of the mechanisms of AQP regulation should permit the development of new pharmacological strategies to prevent oedema formation. AQP9 has been recently specifically detected in the catecholaminergic neurons of the brain. This new result strengthens the hypothesis that the AQPs are not only water channels, but that some AQPs may play a role in energy metabolism as metabolite channels. 相似文献

Background
The presence of water channel proteins, aquaporins (AQPs), in the brain led to intense research in understanding the underlying roles of each of them under normal conditions and pathological conditions.Scope of review
In this review, we summarize some of the recent knowledge on the 3 main AQPs (AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9), with a special focus on AQP4, the most abundant AQP in the central nervous system.Major conclusions
AQP4 was most studied in several brain pathological conditions ranging from acute brain injuries (stroke, traumatic brain injury) to the chronic brain disease with autoimmune neurodegenerative diseases. To date, no specific therapeutic agents have been developed to either inhibit or enhance water flux through these channels. However, experimental results strongly underline the importance of this topic for future investigation. Early inhibition of water channels may have positive effects in prevention of edema formation in brain injuries but at later time points during the course of a disease, AQP is critical for clearance of water from the brain into blood vessels.General significance
Thus, AQPs, and in particular AQP4, have important roles both in the formation and resolution of edema after brain injury. The dual, complex function of these water channel proteins makes them an excellent therapeutic target. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Aquaporins. 相似文献17.
AimsWe previously reported that cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2 (CysLT2) mediates ischemic astrocyte injury, and leukotriene D4-activated CysLT2 receptor up-regulates the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4). Here we investigated the mechanism underlying CysLT2 receptor-mediated ischemic astrocyte injury induced by 4-h oxygen-glucose deprivation and 24-h recovery (OGD/R).Main methodsPrimary cultures of rat astrocytes were treated by OGD/R to construct the cell injury model. AQP4 expression was inhibited by small interfering RNA (siRNA). The expressions of AQP4 and CysLTs receptors, and the MAPK signaling pathway were determined.Key findingsOGD/R induced astrocyte injury, and increased expression of the CysLT2 (but not CysLT1) receptor and AQP4. OGD/R-induced cell injury and AQP4 up-regulation were inhibited by a CysLT2 receptor antagonist (Bay cysLT2) and a non-selective CysLT receptor antagonist (Bay u9773), but not by a CysLT1 receptor antagonist (montelukast). Knockdown of AQP4 by siRNA attenuated OGD/R injury. Furthermore, OGD/R increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38, whose inhibitors relieved the cell injury and AQP4 up-regulation.SignificanceThe CysLT2 receptor mediates AQP4 up-regulation in astrocytes, and up-regulated AQP4 leads to OGD/R-induced injury, which results from activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways. 相似文献

Osmotic stress up-regulates aquaporin-3 gene expression in cultured human keratinocytes. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Of ten members of the aquaporin family (AQP), the mRNA expression and regulation of AQP1, AQP3, AQP4 and AQP9 in cultured human keratinocytes were examined by an RNase protection assay. AQP3 mRNA was expressed in growing and differentiating cells, while AQP9 mRNA was only detected in differentiating cells. The epidermis in skin-equivalent cultures expressed both AQP3 and AQP9 mRNA. However, neither AQP1 nor AQP4 mRNA was detectable in either monolayer or skin-equivalent cultures. Incubation of keratinocytes in sorbitol-added hypertonic medium increased AQP3 mRNA expression. This was confirmed using other solutes such as NaCl, mannitol, glucose and sucrose. The effect of sorbitol was reversible, dose-dependent and maximal at 24 h after addition. However, AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 mRNA expression were unchanged under any of the hypertonic conditions examined. These findings indicated that osmotic stress up-regulates AQP3 gene expression in cultured keratinocytes. 相似文献

Aquaporin8 (AQP8) is a transmembrane water channel that is found mainly in hepatocytes. The direct involvement of AQP8 in high glucose condition has not been established. Therefore, this study examined the effects of high glucose on AQP8 and its related signal pathways in primary cultured chicken hepatocytes. High glucose increased the movement of AQP8 from the intracellular membrane to plasma membrane in a 30 mM glucose concentration and in a time- (> or =10 min) dependent manner. On the other hand, 30 mM mannitol did not affect the translocation of AQP8, which suggested the absence of osmotic effect. Thirty millimolar glucose increased intracellular cyclic adenosine 3, 5-monophosphate (cAMP) level. Moreover, high glucose level induced Akt phosphorylation, protein kinase C (PKC) activation, p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), p38 MAPK, and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation. On the other hand, inhibition of each pathway by SQ 22536 (adenylate cyclase inhibitor), LY 294002 (PI3-K phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor), Akt inhibitor, staurosporine (PKC inhibitor), PD 98059 (MEK inhibitor), SB 203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor), or SP 600125 (JNK inhibitor) blocked 30 mM glucose-induced AQP8 translocation, respectively. In addition, inhibition of microtubule movement with nocodazole blocked high glucose-induced AQP8 translocation. High glucose level also increased the level of kinesin light chain and dynein protein expression. In conclusion, high glucose level stimulates AQP8 via cAMP, PI3-K/Akt, PKC, and MAPKs pathways in primary cultured chicken hepatocytes. 相似文献
