Abstract

Although the role of urea in urine concentration is known, the effect of urea handling by the urea transporters (UTs), UT-A1 and UT-A3, on sodium balance remains elusive. Serum and urinary sodium concentration is similar between wild-type mice (WT) and UT-A3 null (UT-A3 KO) mice; however, mice lacking both UT-A1 and UT-A3 (UT-A1/A3 KO) have significantly lower serum sodium and higher urinary sodium. Protein expression of renal sodium transporters is unchanged among all three genotypes. WT, UT-A3 KO, and UT-A1/A3 KO acutely respond to hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide; however, UT-A1/A3 KO fail to show a diuretic or natriuretic response following amiloride administration, indicating that baseline epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) activity is impaired. UT-A1/A3 KO have more ENaC at the apical membrane than WT mice, and single-channel analysis of ENaC in split-open inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) isolated in saline shows that ENaC channel density and open probability is higher in UT-A1/A3 KO than WT. UT-A1/A3 KO excrete more urinary nitric oxide (NO), a paracrine inhibitor of ENaC, and inner medullary nitric oxide synthase 1 mRNA expression is ~40-fold higher than WT. Because endogenous NO is unstable, ENaC activity was reassessed in split-open IMCD with the NO donor PAPA NONOate [1-propanamine-3-(2-hydroxy-2-nitroso-1-propylhydrazine)], and ENaC activity was almost abolished in UT-A1/A3 KO. In summary, loss of both UT-A1 and UT-A3 (but not UT-A3 alone) causes elevated medullary NO production and salt wasting. NO inhibition of ENaC, despite elevated apical accumulation of ENaC in UT-A1/A3 KO IMCD, appears to be the main contributor to natriuresis in UT-A1/A3 KO mice.
