We investigated the role and mechanism of H2O2 in regulation of NaCl transport in primary inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. IMCD cells were isolated from wild-type mice and grown onto semipermeable membranes, and short-circuit current (Isc) was determined by Ussing chamber. Exposure of IMCD cells to H2O2 at a range of 100–300 µM caused a rapid increase in Isc in a time- and dose-dependent manner. This increase was almost abolished by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl– channel inhibitors diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPC) and CFTRinhibitor-172. In contrast, the magnitude of stimulation was unaffected by the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) inhibitor amiloride. The H2O2-induced Cl– secretion was significantly inhibited by indomethacin, as well as by microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) deficiency. Like H2O2, PGE2 treatment induced a twofold increase in Isc that was reduced by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors H-89 and KT5720. These data suggest that H2O2 stimulates CFTR Cl– channel-mediated Cl– secretion through cyclooxygenase- and mPGES-1-dependent release of PGE2 and subsequent activation of PKA.
