The mechanisms underlying the prevention
of age-related polyuria by chronic food restriction were investigated
in female WAG/Rij rats. The decreased osmolality of renal papilla
observed in senescent rats was not corrected by food restriction. A
reduced urea content in the inner medulla of senescent rats, fed ad
libitum or food-restricted, was suggested by the marked decrease in
expression of UT-A1 and UT-B1 urea transporters. Aquaporin-2 (AQP2)
downregulation in the inner medulla of senescent rats was partially
prevented by food restriction. Both AQP2 and the phosphorylated form of
AQP2 (p-AQP2), the presence of which was diffuse within the cytoplasm of collecting duct principal cells in normally fed senescent rats, were
preferentially targeted at the apical region of the cells in
food-restricted senescent animals. Plasma vasopressin (AVP) was similar
in 10- and 30-mo-old rats fed ad libitum, but was doubled in
food-restricted 30-mo-old rats. This study indicates that 1)
kidney aging is associated with a marked decrease in AQP2, UT-A1, and
UT-B1 expression in the inner medulla and a reduced papillary
osmolality; and 2) the prevention of age-related polyuria by
chronic food restriction occurs through an improved recruitment of AQP2
and p-AQP2 to the apical membrane in inner medulla principal cells,
permitted by increased plasma AVP concentration.
