• W2040300306 abstract "Aquaporin-4 (AQP4), the main water channel in the brain, is expressed in the perivascular membranes of mouse, rat, and human astrocytes. In a previous study, we used small interfering RNA (siRNA) to specifically knock down AQP4 in rat astrocyte primary cultures and found that together with reduced osmotic permeability, AQP4 knockdown (KD) led to altered cell morphology. However, a recent report on primary cultured astrocytes from AQP4 null mice (KO) showed no morphological differences compared with wild types. In this study, we compared the effect of AQP4 KD in mouse, rat, and human astrocyte primary cultures and found that AQP4 KD in human astrocytes resulted in a morphological phenotype similar to that found in rat. In contrast, AQP4 KD in mouse astrocytes caused only very mild morphological changes. The actin cytoskeleton of untreated astrocytes exhibited strong species-specific differences, with F-actin being organized in cortical bands in mouse and in stress fibers in rat and human astrocytes. Surprisingly, as a consequence of AQP4 KD, F-actin cytoskeleton was depolymerized in rat and human whereas it was completely rearranged in mouse astrocytes. Although AQP4 KD induced alterations of the cell cytoskeleton, we found that the expression of dystrophin (DP71), beta-dystroglycan, and alpha-syntrophin was not altered. AQP4 KD in cultured mouse astrocytes produced strong down-regulation of connexin43 (Cx43) with a concomitant reduction in cell coupling while no major alterations in Cx43 expression were found in rat and human cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that with regard to these properties, human astrocytes in culture are more similar to rat than to mouse astrocytes. Moreover, even though AQP4 KD in mouse astrocytes did not result in a dramatic morphological phenotype, it induced a remarkable rearrangement of F-actin, not related to disruption of the dystrophin complex, indicating a primary role of this water channel in the cytoskeleton changes observed. Finally, the strong down-regulation of Cx43 and cell coupling in AQP4 KD mouse astrocytes indicate that a functional relationship likely exists between water channels and gap junctions in brain astrocytes." @default.
