• W1985938141 abstract "We previously found that water transport across hepatocyte plasma membranes occurs mainly via a non-channel mediated pathway. Recently, it has been reported that mRNA for the water channel, aquaporin-8 (AQP8), is present in hepatocytes. To further explore this issue, we studied protein expression, subcellular localization, and regulation of AQP8 in rat hepatocytes. By subcellular fractionation and immunoblot analysis, we detected anN-glycosylated band of ∼34 kDa corresponding to AQP8 in hepatocyte plasma and intracellular microsomal membranes. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy for AQP8 in cultured hepatocytes showed a predominant intracellular vesicular localization. Dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP) stimulated the redistribution of AQP8 to plasma membranes. Bt2cAMP also significantly increased hepatocyte membrane water permeability, an effect that was prevented by the water channel blocker dimethyl sulfoxide. The microtubule blocker colchicine but not its inactive analog lumicolchicine inhibited the Bt2cAMP effect on both AQP8 redistribution to cell surface and hepatocyte membrane water permeability. Our data suggest that in rat hepatocytes AQP8 is localized largely in intracellular vesicles and can be redistributed to plasma membranes via a microtubule-depending, cAMP-stimulated mechanism. These studies also suggest that aquaporins contribute to water transport in cAMP-stimulated hepatocytes, a process that could be relevant to regulated hepatocyte bile secretion.

These studies also suggest that aquaporins contribute to water transport in cAMP-stimulated hepatocytes, a process that could be relevant to regulated hepatocyte bile secretion. Bile is formed primarily by hepatocytes and subsequently delivered to the bile ducts where it is modified by cholangiocytes (i.e. the epithelial cells that line the bile ducts). Bile secretion by hepatocytes involves the active transport of solutes followed by the passive movement of water into the bile canaliculus in response to osmotic gradients created by these solutes (1Nathanson M.H. Boyer J.L. Hepatology. 1991; 14: 551-566Crossref PubMed Scopus (377) Google Scholar, 2Meier P.J. Steiger B. News Physiol. Sci. 2000; 15: 89-93PubMed Google Scholar). Although a substantial amount of data have been published about the molecular identification of solute transporters and the mechanisms regulating solute transport by hepatocytes (3Muller M. Jansen P.L.M. Am. J. Physiol. 1997; 272: G1285-G1303PubMed Google Scholar), little attention has been focused on the mechanistic and regulatory aspects involved in hepatocyte water transport. Water can cross cellular plasma membranes through the lipid portion of the bilayer by a diffusion mechanism or through aquaporin water channels. Aquaporins, a family of recently identified integral membrane proteins, increase cell membrane water permeability facilitating rapid movement of water in response to osmotic gradients (4Borgnia M.

We previously found based on biophysical and molecular biology studies that water transport across hepatocyte plasma membranes occurs mainly via a non-channel mediated pathway (6Yano M.

Exp. Cell Res. 1973; 82: 391-398Crossref PubMed Scopus (1025) Google Scholar). Hepatocytes suspended in Krebs-Ringer-Hepes buffer, pH 7.4, were incubated at 37 °C according to these protocols: (a) for 10 min in the presence of 0 or 100 μm dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP; Sigma); (b) for 1 h in the presence of 50 μm colchicine or lumicolchicine (Sigma) and then for an additional 10 min in the presence of 0 or 100 μm Bt2cAMP. Subcellular fractionation and water transport studies were carried out after these treatments. Cell viability (assessed by trypan blue exclusion) was always >85% and not affected by the treatments. Freshly isolated hepatocytes were suspended in Leibovitz 15 medium (L-15; Life Technologies, Inc.), cultured on collagen-coated coverslips, and maintained at 37 °C for 4 h in an air atmosphere. Incubations were performed according to these protocols: (a) for 10 min in the presence of 0 or 100 μm Bt2cAMP; (b) for 1 h in the presence of 50 μmcolchicine or lumicolchicine and then for an additional 10 min in the presence of 0 or 100 μm Bt2cAMP. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy was carried out after these treatments. Membrane fractions enriched in plasma or intracellular microsomal membranes were prepared from hepatocytes by differential centrifugation as previously described by us (11Marinelli R.A. Pham L. Agre P. LaRusso N.F. J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272: 12984-12988Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (167) Google Scholar). Briefly, cells were washed and sonicated in 0.3m sucrose containing 0.1 mmphenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and 0.1 mm leupeptin (Sigma). The plasma membrane fraction was obtained by centrifugation at 200,000 × g for 60 min on a discontinuous 1.3m sucrose gradient. After removing the plasma membrane band, the sucrose gradient was sonicated, diluted to 0.3 m, and centrifuged at 17,000 × g for 30 min. The resulting supernatant was centrifuged at 200,000 × gfor 60 min to yield the intracellular microsomal membrane fraction. Fractions enriched in plasma or intracellular microsomal membranes were also prepared from homogenates of colon mucosa and total liver following the same procedure. For experiments in Fig. 1, hepatocytes as well as total liver, colon mucosa, kidney, and lung tissues from normal rats were homogenized in 0.3 m sucrose containing protease inhibitors, subjected to low-speed centrifugation to obtain post nuclear supernatants, and then subjected to centrifugation at 200,000 × g for 60 min to yield “total membranes.” Proteins in membrane fractions were assayed according to Lowry et al. (12Lowry O.H. Rosebrough N.J. Farr A.L. Randall R.J.J. J. Biol. Chem. 1951; 193: 265-275Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar) using bovine serum albumin as standard. Alkaline phosphatase activity (a plasma membrane marker) was assessed using a commercially available enzyme kit (Sigma). Solubilized membrane fractions were subjected to 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinyl difluoride membranes (PerkinElmer Life Sciences). After blocking, blots were incubated overnight at 4 °C with rabbit affinity-purified antibodies against AQP8 (1 μg/ml; Alpha Diagnostics International, San Antonio, TX). The blots were then washed and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (Promega), and bands were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (ECL; Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Autoradiographs were obtained by exposing polyvinyl difluoride membranes to Kodak XAR film, and the bands were quantitated by densitometry (Shimadzu CS-9000). To control for non-specific reactions, blocking experiments were performed by using an antibody preabsorbed with a 10-fold molar excess of AQP8 immunizing peptide (Alpha Diagnostics International). Selected samples were digested with 10 μg/ml peptide/N-glycosidase F (PNGase F; New England Biolabs). After culturing and treatment (see above), hepatocytes were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 2 min, and incubated overnight at 4 °C with rabbit affinity-purified AQP8 antibodies (10 μg/ml; Alpha Diagnostics International). After washing, coverslips were incubated with Texas Red-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Molecular Probes) for an additional hour and mounted with ProLong (Molecular Probes). Fluorescence localization was detected by confocal microscopy with a laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss LSM-510). Images were collected with the same confocal settings in a particular set of experiments. With these settings no autofluorescence was detected. Controls using omission of primary or secondary antibodies revealed no labeling. Images were processed using Adobe Photoshop software. Following incubation as described above, hepatocytes were suspended in Hepes (25 mm)-buffered sucrose (300 mosm, pH 7.4), cooled at 10 °C, and subjected to hypotonic challenge (100 mosm). The size of hepatocytes was determined by quantitative phase contrast microscopy, a methodology previously validated by us (6Yano M. Marinelli R.A. Roberts S.K. Balan V. Pham L.

The osmotic membrane water permeability (Pf) was calculated from the initial rate of cell swelling as described previously (6Yano M. Marinelli R.A. Roberts S.K. Balan V. Pham L. Tarara J.E. de Groen P.C. LaRusso N.F. J. Biol. Chem. 1996; 271: 6702-6707Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (48) Google Scholar). In some experiments, before assessing water permeability, hepatocytes were incubated for 5 min with 500 mm dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), an established aquaporin water channel blocker (13van Hoek A.N. de Jong M.D. van Os C.H. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1990; 1030: 203-210Crossref PubMed Scopus (48) Google Scholar, 14Ma T. Frigeri A. Tsai S.T. Verbavatz J.M. Verkman A.S. J. Biol. Chem. 1993; 168: 22756-22764Abstract Full Text PDF Google Scholar). At the concentration used, Me2SO did not affect hepatocyte viability assessed by trypan blue exclusion. The described AQP8 inhibitor, mercuric chloride (7Koyama Y. Yamamoto T. Kondo D. Funaki H. Yaoita E. Kawasaki K. Sato N. Hatakeyama K. Kihara I. J. Biol.

As shown in Fig. 1 A, immunoblotting analysis for AQP8 detected a band of ∼34 kDa in total liver and hepatocyte membranes. An identical band in location was obtained for colon mucosa (another rat AQP8 message-expression tissue) (7Koyama Y. Yamamoto T. Kondo D. Funaki H. Yaoita E. Kawasaki K. Sato N. Hatakeyama K.

Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997; 237: 714-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (179) Google Scholar), whereas no band was detected for kidney or lung tissues (negative controls for rat AQP8 expression) (7Koyama Y.

Chem. 1997; 272: 30329-30333Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (150) Google Scholar, 8Ishibashi K. Kuwahara M. Kageyama Y. Tohsaka A. Marumo F. Sasaki S. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997; 237: 714-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (179) Google Scholar). The 34 kDa band was absent when AQP8 antibody was preabsorbed with a molar excess of the immunizing peptide (not shown). After incubation withN-glycosidase, the 34 kDa band shifted to the predicted 28 kDa molecular mass (Fig. 1 B) indicating the presence of N-glycosylation in the AQP8 molecule. Subcellular fractionation followed by immunoblot analysis showed the AQP8 band in hepatocyte plasma and intracellular microsomal membranes (Fig.2). Similar results were obtained with total liver, whereas in colon mucosa the immunoreactive band was only present in plasma membranes (not shown). Exposure of cells to Bt2cAMP resulted in an increase of AQP8 in hepatocyte plasma membranes (125%, p < 0.05) and a simultaneous decrease of AQP8 in microsomal membranes (58%, p < 0.05) (Fig. 2). Based on these data and the total proteins in each hepatocyte membrane fraction, we estimated that under basal (non-stimulated) conditions most of the hepatocyte AQP8 (∼75%) would reside in intracellular microsomal membranes; 25% would be in plasma membranes. After Bt2cAMP treatment, AQP8 became predominant in plasma membranes (i.e. ∼60% of total). Bt2cAMP did not alter the yields of total membrane proteins, the specific activity of plasma membrane alkaline phosphatase in hepatocyte membrane fractions, or the amount of AQP8 in total hepatocyte membranes (data not shown). Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy in cultured hepatocytes was in agreement with the quantitative immunoblot analysis. Thus, AQP8 labeling was observed mostly in intracellular vesicular structures throughout the cytosol; plasma membranes exhibited very low labeling (Fig.3 A). Bt2cAMP caused a decrease in AQP8 intracellular labeling and a simultaneous increase in plasma membrane. (Fig.3 B).Figure 3Localization of AQP8 in hepatocytes by confocal immunofluorescence: effect of Bt2cAMP. Hepatocytes in short term cultured were incubated at 37 °C for 10 min in the absence (controls) or presence of 100 μmBt2cAMP fixed, permeabilized, and labeled with anti-AQP8. Fluorescence localization was viewed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (see “Materials and Methods” for details). A, controls; B, Bt2cAMP-treated. Magnification, ×600.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT) Together, these data are consistent with a predominant intracellular vesicular location of AQP8 in hepatocytes, and a cAMP-induced translocation of the water channel to the cell surface. The time course of relative hepatocyte volume in response to an inwardly directed sucrose gradient is shown in Fig.4 A. The osmotic gradient caused water influx and cell swelling. The rate of the swelling response was significantly increased by Bt2cAMP. The water channel blocker Me2SO inhibited Bt2cAMP-induced increases in hepatocyte water transport. CorrespondingPf values are shown in Fig. 4 B. Average hepatocyte volume (in isotonic media) was not affected by Bt2cAMP. These data support the notion that cAMP promotes osmotic membrane water transport in hepatocytes via insertion of aquaporin water channels. Colchicine but not its inactive analog lumicolchicine markedly inhibited the Bt2cAMP action on AQP8 redistribution to cell surface (Figs. 5 and 6) or hepatocytePf (Fig. 7).Figure 6Effect of colchicine on cAMP-induced redistribution of AQP8 : confocal immunofluorescence studies.Hepatocytes in short term culture were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h in the presence of 50 μm colchicine or 50 μm lumicolchicine and then for an additional 10 min in the presence of 0 or 100 μm Bt2cAMP.

To our knowledge, this is the first study on the functional expression and regulation of AQP8 protein in mammalian cells. The major findings reported here relate to mechanistic and regulatory aspects involved in hepatocyte water transport. Our data, using isolated rat hepatocytes, suggest that the water channel AQP8 is localized largely in intracellular vesicles and can be redistributed to plasma membrane via a microtubule-dependent, cAMP-stimulated mechanism. Thus, hepatocytes would be able to regulate their membrane water permeability. AQP8 has been identified recently (7Koyama Y. Yamamoto T. Kondo D. Funaki H. Yaoita E. Kawasaki K. Sato N. Hatakeyama K.

Sasaki S. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997; 237: 714-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (179) Google Scholar). In situhybridization studies suggest that AQP8 mRNA is present in hepatocytes; nevertheless, studies on protein expression were not undertaken (7Koyama Y. Yamamoto T. Kondo D. Funaki H. Yaoita E. Kawasaki K. Sato N. Hatakeyama K. Kihara I. J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272: 30329-30333Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (150) Google Scholar). In the present study, we consistently found AQP8 protein expression in rat hepatocytes. Digestion withN-glycosidase indicated that AQP8 molecule isN-glycosylated in agreement with the predicted consensus site for N-linked glycosylation in the AQP8 deduced amino acid sequence (8Ishibashi K. Kuwahara M. Kageyama Y. Tohsaka A. Marumo F. Sasaki S. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997; 237: 714-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (179) Google Scholar). Our biochemical and immunofluorescence studies indicate that hepatocyte AQP8 is primarily located within the cell, presumably in a vesicular compartment. AQP8 expression on cell surface is very low under basal (non-stimulated) conditions, suggesting a small contribution of this aquaporin to total membrane water permeability. This agrees with our previous observation that, in the basal state, water transport across hepatocyte plasma membranes occurs mainly via a non-channel-mediated pathway because AQP8 is sequestered within an intracellular compartment (6Yano M. Marinelli R.A. Roberts S.K. Balan V. Pham L. Tarara J.E. de Groen P.C. LaRusso N.F. J. Biol. Chem. 1996; 271: 6702-6707Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (48) Google Scholar). Upon Bt2cAMP stimulation, intracellular AQP8 is re-localized to plasma membrane, thereby raising the cell surface water permeability and facilitating osmotic water transport. Bt2cAMP is well known to activate protein kinase A. The AQP8 molecule lacks consensus protein kinase A phosphorylation sites (8Ishibashi K. Kuwahara M. Kageyama Y. Tohsaka A. Marumo F. Sasaki S. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997; 237: 714-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (179) Google Scholar), which suggests that the effect of cAMP is not directed toward AQP8 protein itself but rather to protein mediators involved in vesicle trafficking. Moreover, Bt2cAMP has also been found to stimulate the vesicle trafficking to the hepatocyte plasma membrane of several other transporters, i.e.Cl−/HCO3− exchanger (15Benedetti A. Strazzabosco M. Ng O.C. Boyer J.L. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1994; 91: 792-796Crossref PubMed Scopus (100) Google Scholar), canalicular bile acid transporter (16Boyer J.L. Soroka C.J.

Physiol. 1997; 272: G1041-G1049PubMed Google Scholar), and basolateral Na+/taurocholate cotransporter (20Mukhopadhayay S. Ananthanarayanan M. Stieger B. Meier B. Suchy F.J. Anwer S. Am. J. Physiol. 1997; 273: G842-G848PubMed Google Scholar). Our experiments also show that Bt2cAMP-induced AQP8 vesicle trafficking seems to be dependent on the integrity of microtubules as observed for some of the mentioned solute transporters (15Benedetti A. Strazzabosco M. Ng O.C. Boyer J.L. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1994; 91: 792-796Crossref PubMed Scopus (100) Google Scholar, 16Boyer J.L. Soroka C.J.

Chem. 1999; 274: 26416-26424Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (41) Google Scholar). Thus, whether AQP8 is packaged along with solute transporters in the same population of vesicles as has been observed for aquaporin-1 water channels and cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator Cl−channels in cholangiocytes (21Tietz P. Chen X.M. McNiven M.A. LaRusso N.F. Hepatology. 1999; 30 (. (abstr.)): 424Google Scholar) or are in separate vesicles that respond to the same signal needs to be determined. Cyclic AMP stimulates microtubule assembly by phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins via cAMP-dependent kinases (22Richter-Landsberg C. Jastorff B. J. Neurochem. 1985; 45: 1218-1222Crossref PubMed Scopus (21) Google Scholar). Thus, the effect of Bt2cAMP on AQP8 trafficking may be mediated by stimulation of microtubule-associated proteins. Cyclic AMP is also able to induce synthesis of transporters in hepatocytes (23Edmondson J.W. Lumeng L. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1980; 96: 61-68Crossref PubMed Scopus (35) Google Scholar). Nevertheless, new aquaporin synthesis is unlikely to significantly contribute to cAMP-induced increase of plasma membrane AQP8 because total hepatocyte AQP8 was unaltered by Bt2cAMP. In addition, the stimulatory effect of cAMP was seen within a 10-min period; protein synthesis usually requires a longer time. The fact that in colon mucosa AQP8 is not present in intracellular membranes suggests that this aquaporin is constitutively expressed in colon epithelia and that the subcellular distribution and regulation of AQP8 is tissue specific. Bile duct epithelial cells or cholangiocytes express at least two other members of the aquaporin family of proteins, i.e.aquaporin-1, located mainly in the apical (luminal) membrane domain and in intracellular vesicles (11Marinelli R.A.

Hepatology. 2000; 31: 1313-1317Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar). The cAMP-dependent hormone secretin regulates the subcellular distribution of aquaporin-1 by stimulating its exocytic insertion exclusively in the apical plasma membrane domain of cholangiocytes (25Marinelli R.A. Tietz P. Pham L. Rueckert L. Agre P. LaRusso N.F. Am. J. Physiol. 1999; 276: G280-G286PubMed Google Scholar), a mechanism that seems to be involved in ductal bile formation. In contrast, aquaporin-4 in cholangiocytes is constitutively expressed in the basolateral plasma membrane domain (26Marinelli R.A. Pham L. Tietz P. LaRusso N.F. Hepatology. 2000; 31: 1313-1317Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar). In hepatocytes, cyclic AMP-regulated targeting of membrane transporters has been reported to involve both the apical as well as the basolateral plasma membrane domains (15Benedetti A. Strazzabosco M.

Additional studies with different experimental approaches will be required to determine the polarized distribution and regulated vectorial trafficking of AQP8 in hepatocytes. Rat hepatocytes also express another aquaporin water channel,i.e. aquaporin-9 (27Tsukaguchi H. Shayakul C. Berger U.V. Mackenzie B. Devidas S. Guggino W.B. van Hoek A.N. Hediger M.A. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 24737-24743Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (394) Google Scholar). Whether this channel shares the subcellular location and regulation with AQP8 is a matter of further studies. Immunohistochemistry studies for AQP8 in intact rat liver 2P. Splinter and N. F. LaRusso, unpublished data. as well as membrane fractionation and immunoblotting of total liver homogenate showed that AQP8 associated mainly to an intracellular membrane compartment. These observations suggest that our findings in isolated cells are relevant to the in vivo situation. As mentioned, hepatic bile is thought to be formed by the passive movement of water from plasma to bile canaliculus in response to osmotic gradients established by the active secretion of solutes such as bile acids and glutathione (1Nathanson M.H. Boyer J.L. Hepatology. 1991; 14: 551-566Crossref PubMed Scopus (377) Google Scholar, 2Meier P.J. Steiger B. News Physiol. Sci. 2000; 15: 89-93PubMed Google Scholar). Interestingly, hepatocyte bile secretion can be increased by cAMP and by hormones acting through the cAMP cascade, phenomena that are also inhibited by colchicine (28Hayakawa T. Bruck R. Ng O.C. Boyer J.L. Am. J. Physiol. 1990; 259: G727-G736Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 29Lenzen R. Hruby V.J. Tavoloni N. Am. J. Physiol. 1990; 259: G736-G745PubMed Google Scholar). Thus, it is tempting to speculate that AQP8 could facilitate the osmotically driven water transport during cAMP-stimulated hepatocyte bile formation. In conclusion, our data support the concept that rat hepatocytes are able to modulate water permeability by inducing the microtubule-dependent targeting of vesicles containing AQP8 water channels to the plasma membrane, a process that could be relevant to regulated hepatocyte bile secretion.
