Aquaporin-4 expression in adult and developing mouse and rat kidney.
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a member of the aquaporin water-channel family. AQP4 is expressed primarily in the brain, but it is also present in the collecting duct of the kidney, where it is located in the basolateral plasma membrane of principal cells and inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. Recent studies in the mouse also have reported the presence of AQP4 in the basolateral membrane of t...
متن کاملAquaporin 4 Expression in the mdx Mouse Diaphragm
Expression of aquaporin (AQP) 4 in the surface membranes of skeletal myofibers is well established; however, its functional significance is still unknown. The alterations of AQP4 expressions in dystrophic muscles at RNA and protein levels have been reported in various dystrophic muscles such as dystrophinopathy, dysferlinopathy, and sarcoglycanopathy. We are interested in the relationship betwe...
متن کاملAquaporin-4 expression in developing rat brain following status epilepticus (SE) and the effects of exogenous GM1 on it
Objectives: The aim of study was to investigate the relationship between aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and brain edema following status epilepticus (SE) via observing the changes of AQP4 expression in brain edema formation following SE in the developing rats, We also observed the effects of Monosialote-trahexosylganglioside (GM1) on the expression of AQP4 and brain edema following SE, contributing to lear...
متن کاملAquaporin-2 water channel in developing quail kidney: possible role in programming adult fluid homeostasis.
Avian kidneys have loopless and looped nephrons; a countercurrent multiplier mechanism operates in the latter by NaCl recycling. We identified an aquaporin-2 (AQP2) homolog in apical/subapical regions of cortical and medullary collecting duct (CD) cells in kidneys of Japanese quail (q), Coturnix japonica. We investigated whether undernutrition during the embryonic/maturation period retards kidn...
متن کاملAquaporin-3 water channel localization and regulation in rat kidney.
The aquaporins are a family of water channels expressed in several water-transporting tissues, including the kidney. We have used a peptide-derived, affinity-purified polyclonal antibody to aquaporin-3 (AQP-3) to investigate its localization and regulation in the kidney. Immunoblotting experiments showed expression in both renal cortex and medulla, with greatest expression in the base of the in...
