Lung fluid transport in aquaporin-1 and aquaporin-4 knockout mice.
The mammalian lung expresses water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in microvascular endothelia and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in airway epithelia. To test whether these water channels facilitate fluid movement between airspace, interstitial, and capillary compartments, we measured passive and active fluid transport in AQP1 and AQP4 knockout mice. Airspace-capillary osmotic water permeability (Pf) was measur...
متن کاملGastric acid secretion in aquaporin-4 knockout mice.
The aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel has been proposed to play a role in gastric acid secretion. Immunocytochemistry using anti-AQP4 antibodies showed strong AQP4 protein expression at the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells in wild-type (+/+) mice. AQP4 involvement in gastric acid secretion was studied using transgenic null (-/-) mice deficient in AQP4 protein. -/- Mice had grossly ...
متن کاملProximal tubule water transport-lessons from aquaporin knockout mice.
THE PROXIMAL TUBULE REABSORBS essentially all the filtered organic solutes, most of the filtered phosphate, 80% of the filtered bicarbonate, and 60% of the filtered sodium chloride. Approximately 70% of the filtered water is also reabsorbed by this segment. Despite these very high rates of proximal tubule solute transport, the osmolality of the luminal fluid decreases by only 5 mosmol/kgH2O fro...
متن کاملMaximal Oxygen Consumption Is Reduced in Aquaporin-1 Knockout Mice
We have measured maximal oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]O2,max) of mice lacking one or two of the established mouse red-cell CO2 channels AQP1, AQP9, and Rhag. We intended to study whether these proteins, by acting as channels for O2, determine O2 exchange in the lung and in the periphery. We found that [Formula: see text]O2,max as determined by the Helox technique is reduced by ~16%, w...
متن کاملCardiac Morphology and Function, and Blood Gas Transport in Aquaporin-1 Knockout Mice
We have studied cardiac and respiratory functions of aquaporin-1-deficient mice by the Pressure-Volume-loop technique and by blood gas analysis. In addition, the morphological properties of the animals' hearts were analyzed. In anesthesia under maximal dobutamine stimulation, the mice exhibit a moderately elevated heart rate of < 600 min(-1) and an O2 consumption of ~0.6 ml/min/g, which is abou...
