Description

Molecular Mechanism and Rationale

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) represents a critical water channel protein predominantly expressed in the apical membrane of choroid plexus epithelial cells, where it facilitates the bulk water transport necessary for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. The molecular mechanism underlying AQP1-mediated CSF formation involves the coordinated function of multiple transport proteins and ion channels within choroid plexus epithelial cells. AQP1 works in concert with the Na+/K+-ATPase pump located on the basolateral membrane, which establishes the primary driving force for CSF secretion by creating an osmotic gradient through active sodium transport.

AQP1 differentially orchestrates endothelial cell senescence. MEDIUM
Redox Biol · 2024 · PMID:39180980 · Q:0.33
ABSTRACT

Accumulation of senescent endothelial cells (ECs) with age is a pivotal driver of cardiovascular diseases in aging. However, little is known about the mechanisms and signaling pathways that regulate EC senescence. In this report, we delineate a previously unrecognized role of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in orchestrating extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cellular senescence in aortic ECs. Our findings underscore AQP1's differential impact on senescence hallmarks, including cell-cycle arrest, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and DNA damage responses, intricately regulating angiogenesis. In proliferating ECs, AQP1 is crucial for maintaining angiogenic capacity, whereas disruption of AQP1 induces morphological and mitochondrial alterations, culminating in senescence and impaired angiogenesis. Conversely, Aqp1 knockdown or selective blockade of AQP1 in senescent ECs rescues the excess H2O2-induced cellular senescence phenotype and metabolic dysfunction, thereby ameliora

Aquaporin gating. MEDIUM
Curr Opin Struct Biol · 2006 · PMID:16837191 · Q:0.33
ABSTRACT

An acceleration in the rate at which new aquaporin structures are determined means that structural models are now available for mammalian AQP0, AQP1, AQP2 and AQP4, bacterial GlpF, AqpM and AQPZ, and the plant SoPIP2;1. With an apparent consensus emerging concerning the mechanism of selective water transport and proton extrusion, emphasis has shifted towards the issues of substrate selectivity and the mechanisms of aquaporin regulation. In particular, recently determined structures of plant SoPIP2;1, sheep and bovine AQP0, and Escherichia coli AQPZ provide new insights into the underlying structural mechanisms by which water transport rates are regulated in diverse organisms. From these results, two distinct pictures of 'capping' and 'pinching' have emerged to describe aquaporin gating.

Non-Aquaporin Water Channels. MEDIUM
Adv Exp Med Biol · 2023 · PMID:36717505 · Q:0.33
ABSTRACT

Water transport through membrane is so intricate that there are still some debates. AQPs are entirely accepted to allow water transmembrane movement depending on osmotic gradient. Cotransporters and uniporters, however, are also concerned in water homeostasis. UT-B has a single-channel water permeability that is similar to AQP1. CFTR was initially thought as a water channel but now not believed to transport water directly. By cotransporters, such as KCC4, NKCC1, SGLT1, GAT1, EAAT1, and MCT1, water is transported by water osmosis coupling with substrates, which explains how water is transported across the isolated small intestine. This chapter provides information about water transport mediated by other membrane proteins except AQPs.

AQP1 Promoter Variant, Water Transport, and Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis. MEDIUM
N Engl J Med · 2021 · PMID:34670044 · Q:0.00
ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Variability in ultrafiltration influences prescriptions and outcomes in patients with kidney failure who are treated with peritoneal dialysis. Variants in AQP1, the gene that encodes the archetypal water channel aquaporin-1, may contribute to that variability. METHODS: We gathered clinical and genetic data from 1851 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis in seven cohorts to determine whether AQP1 variants were associated with peritoneal ultrafiltration and with a risk of the composite of death or technique failure (i.e., transfer to hemodialysis). We performed studies in cells, mouse models, and samples obtained from humans to characterize an AQP1 variant and investigate mitigation strategies. RESULTS: The common AQP1 promoter variant rs2075574 was associated with peritoneal ultrafiltration. Carriers of the TT genotype at rs2075574 (10 to 16% of patients) had a lower mean (±SD) net ultrafiltration level than carriers of the CC genotype (35 to 47% of patients), both in th

ABSTRACT

Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is a glycoprotein responsible for water passive transport quickly across biological membrane. Here, we reviewed the structural and functional impacts of AQP1 knockout (AQP1-KO) in animal or cell culture models. AQP1 gene deletion can cause a large number of abnormalities including the disturbance in epithelial fluid secretion, polyhydramnios, deficiency of urinary concentrating function, and impairment of pain perception. AQP1-KO mice also displayed aberrations of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary, and kidney functions as well as placenta and embryo development. Moreover, AQP1-KO perturbed tumor angiogenesis and led to reduced brain injury upon trauma. On the cellular level, AQP1-KO caused neuroinflammation, aberrant cell proliferation and migration, and macrophages infiltration. Mechanistic studies confirmed that AQP1 gene products regulate the secretory function and participated in balancing the osmotic water flux across the peritoneal membrane. Th

ABSTRACT

The structures of the Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA1a) have been determined for five different states by X-ray crystallography. Detailed comparison of the structures in the Ca2+ bound form and unbound (but thapsigargin bound) form reveals that very large rearrangements of the transmembrane helices take place accompanying Ca2+ dissociation and binding and that they are mechanically linked with equally large movements of the cytoplasmic domains. The meanings of the rearrangements of the transmembrane helices and those of the cytoplasmic domains as well as the mechanistic roles of phosphorylation are now becoming clear. Furthermore, the roles of critical amino acid residues identified by extensive mutagenesis studies are becoming evident in terms of atomic structure.

ABSTRACT

Perispinal (intrathecal) injection of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp120 creates exaggerated pain states. Decreases in response thresholds to both heat stimuli (thermal hyperalgesia) and light tactile stimuli (mechanical allodynia) are rapidly induced after gp120 administration. gp120 is the portion of HIV-1 that binds to and activates microglia and astrocytes. These glial cells have been proposed to be key mediators of gp120-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia because these pain changes are blocked by drugs thought to affect glial function preferentially. The aim of the present series of studies was to determine whether gp120-induced pain changes involve proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin-1beta (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)], substances released from activated glia. IL-1 and TNF antagonists each prevented gp120-induced pain changes. Intrathecal gp120 produced time-dependent, site-specific increases in TNF and IL-1 protein rel

ABSTRACT

The yeast F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase forms a dimeric complex in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Dimerization of two F(1)F(o) monomeric complexes involves the physical association of two membrane-embedded F(o) sectors and in a manner, which is dependent on the F(o) subunit, Su e. Sequence analysis of Su e protein family members indicated the presence of a conserved coiled-coil motif. As this motif is often the basis for protein homodimerization events, it was hypothesized that Su e forms homodimers in the inner membrane and that formation of Su e dimers between two neighboring F(o) complexes would facilitate dimerization of the F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase complex (Arnold, I., Pfeiffer, K., Neupert, W., Stuart, R. A., and Schägger, H. (1998) EMBO J. 17, 7170-7178). Using a histidine-tagged derivative of yeast Su e, Su e-His(12), combined with cross-linking and affinity purification approaches, we have directly demonstrated the ability of the yeast Su e protein to form homodimers.

ABSTRACT

Checkpoints monitor the state of DNA and can delay or arrest the cell cycle at multiple points including G1-S transition, progress through S phase and G2-M transition. Regulation of progress through mitosis, specifically at the metaphase-anaphase transition, occurs after exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) in Drosophila and budding yeast, but has not been conclusively demonstrated in mammals. Here we report that regulation of metaphase-anaphase transition in Drosophila depends on the magnitude of radiation dose and time in the cell cycle at which radiation is applied, which may explain the apparent differences among experimental systems and offer an explanation as to why this regulation has not been seen in mammalian cells. We further document that mutants in Drosophila Chk1 (Grapes) that are capable of delaying the progress through mitosis in response to IR are incapable of delaying progress through mitosis when DNA synthesis is blocked by mutations in an essential replication factor

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is an important inflammatory cytokine; its presence has been documented in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, its role as a predictor of death or heart failure is unclear. We sought to investigate this and compared it with N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a marker of death or heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied 291 post-AMI patients. The plasma concentration of CT-1 and NT-proBNP was determined using in-house noncompetitive immunoassays and patients followed for death or heart failure. There were 27 deaths and 19 readmissions with heart failure. CT-1 was raised in patients with death or heart failure compared with survivors (median [range] fmol/mL, 0.9 [0.1-392.2] vs. 0.67 [0-453.3], P = .019). Using a multivariate binary logistic model CT-1 (OR 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.2, P = .031) and NT-proBNP (OR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1-5.2, P = .026) predicted death or heart failure independently of age, sex, previous A

Aquaporins in Nervous System. MEDIUM
Adv Exp Med Biol · 2017 · PMID:28258567 · Q:0.33
ABSTRACT

Aquaporins (AQPs ) mediate water flux between the four distinct water compartments in the central nervous system (CNS). In the present chapter, we mainly focus on the expression and function of the 9 AQPs expressed in the CNS, which include five members of aquaporin subfamily: AQP1, AQP4, AQP5, AQP6, and AQP8; three members of aquaglyceroporin subfamily: AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9; and one member of superaquaporin subfamily: AQP11. In addition, AQP1, AQP2 and AQP4 expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are also reviewed. AQP4, the predominant water channel in the CNS, is involved both in the astrocyte swelling of cytotoxic edema and the resolution of vasogenic edema, and is of pivotal importance in the pathology of brain disorders such as neuromyelitis optica , brain tumors and Alzheimer's disease. Other AQPs are also involved in a variety of important physiological and pathological process in the brain. It has been suggested that AQPs could represent an important target in treatme

Int J Mol Sci · 2016 · PMID:27941618 · Q:0.33
ABSTRACT

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins robustly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). A number of previous studies described the cellular expression sites and investigated their major roles and function in the brain and spinal cord. Among thirteen different mammalian AQPs, AQP1 and AQP4 have been mainly studied in the CNS and evidence has been presented that they play important roles in the pathogenesis of CNS injury, edema and multiple diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, glioblastoma multiforme, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The objective of this review is to highlight the current knowledge about AQPs in the spinal cord and their proposed roles in pathophysiology and pathogenesis related to spinal cord lesions and injury.

Exosomes as nanocarriers for brain-targeted delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids: advances and challenges MEDIUM
J Nanobiotechnology · 2025 · PMID:40533746 · Q:0.00
ABSTRACT

Recent advancements in gene expression modulation and RNA delivery systems have underscored the immense potential of nucleic acid-based therapies (NA-BTs) in biological research. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a crucial regulatory structure that safeguards brain function, presents a significant obstacle to the delivery of drugs to glial cells and neurons. The BBB tightly regulates the movement of substances from the bloodstream into the brain, permitting only small molecules to pass through. This selective permeability poses a significant challenge for effective therapeutic delivery, especially in the case of NA-BTs. Extracellular vesicles, particularly exosomes, are recognized as valuable reservoirs of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. They are also gaining significant attention as innovative drug and nucleic acid delivery (NAD) carriers. Their unique ability to safeguard and transport genetic material, inherent biocompatibility, and capacity to traverse physiolog

Physiological roles of aquaporins in the choroid plexus. MEDIUM
Curr Top Dev Biol · 2005 · PMID:15949534 · Q:0.00
ABSTRACT

The choroid plexus is a specialized tissue that lines subdomains within the four ventricles of the brain where most of the cerebrospinal fluid is produced. Maintenance of an equilibrium in volume and composition of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is vital for a normal brain function, ensuring an optimal environment for the neurons. The necessarily high water permeability of the choroid plexus barrier is made possible by the abundant expression of a water channel, Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), on the apical side of the membrane from early stages of development through adulthood. Data from studies of AQP1 suggest that it also can contribute as a gated ion channel, and suggest that the AQP1-mediated ionic conductance has physiological significance for the regulation of cerebrospinal fluid secretion. The regulation of AQP1 ion channels could be one of several transport mechanisms that contribute to the decreased CSF secretion in response to endogenous signaling molecules such as atrial natriuretic pep

Aquaporin-1 Facilitates Macrophage M1 Polarization by Enhancing Glycolysis Through the Activation of HIF1α in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Kidney Injury
Inflammation · 2025 · PMID:39365391 · Q:0.00
ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate how aquaporin 1 (AQP1) modulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) to promote glycolysis and drive the M1 polarization of macrophages. Within 12 h post-treatment with LPS to induce acute kidney injury in rats, a significant upregulation of AQP1 and HIF1α protein levels was noted in serum and kidney tissues. This elevation corresponded with a decrease in blood glucose concentrations and an enhancement of glycolytic activity relative to the control group. Furthermore, there was a pronounced reduction in the circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, accompanied by an upregulation in the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. The administration of an HIF1α inhibitor reversed these effects, which did not affect the production of AQP1 protein. In cellular assays, AQP1 knockdown mitigated the increase in HIF1α expression induced by LPS. Furthermore, the suppression of HIF1α with PX-478 led to decreased expression levels of

Discovery of novel diarylamides as orally active diuretics targeting urea transporters MEDIUM
Acta Pharm Sin B · 2021 · PMID:33532188 · Q:0.00
ABSTRACT

Urea transporters (UT) play a vital role in the mechanism of urine concentration and are recognized as novel targets for the development of salt-sparing diuretics. Thus, UT inhibitors are promising for development as novel diuretics. In the present study, a novel UT inhibitor with a diarylamide scaffold was discovered by high-throughput screening. Optimization of the inhibitor led to the identification of a promising preclinical candidate, N-[4-(acetylamino)phenyl]-5-nitrofuran-2-carboxamide (1H), with excellent in vitro UT inhibitory activity at the submicromolar level. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations of 1H against UT-B in mouse, rat, and human erythrocyte were 1.60, 0.64, and 0.13 μmol/L, respectively. Further investigation suggested that 8 μmol/L 1H more powerfully inhibited UT-A1 at a rate of 86.8% than UT-B at a rate of 73.9% in MDCK cell models. Most interestingly, we found for the first time that oral administration of 1H at a dose of 100 mg/kg showed superior diureti

ABSTRACT

Aristolochic acid I (AA-I), one of the main active components in Aristolochaia herbs, may induce aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). Renal interstitial fibrosis is one of the most typical features of AAN. To investigate the mechanism of Aristolochic acid I (AA-I) -induced renal epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and determine the role of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in this process, we established an AA-I-induced EMT model in human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells). Morphological examination, MTT assay, and Western blot analysis were performed. Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and several EMT-related proteins were detected, thereby suggesting the occurrence of AA-I-induced EMT. Two main pathways of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling, namely, Smad-dependent and Smad-independent signaling pathways, were also detected. The results showed that the TGF-β / Smad-independent signaling pathways (β-catenin, Ras-Raf-Erk1/2 signaling pathways) were activated, and AQP1 expression was decrea

  • Mechanistic gap: The connection between TREK-1 activation and AQP4 polarization is speculative. TREK-1 primarily responds to mechanical stretch and lipid composition, but direct evidence linking this to dystrophin-associated protein complex organization is lacking.
  • Conflicting evidence: TREK-1 activation typically leads to membrane hyperpolarization and reduced excitability, which may actually impair the calcium-de
