Circulating vasopressin levels change in hydrated and dehydrated conditions and thus control osmotic water permeability (Pf) of inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) antagonizes vasopressin-induced Pf of IMCD. Previously we showed that activation of P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2-R) in IMCD results in production and release of PGE2, and P2Y2-R mRNA and protein are significantly elevated in inner medullae of hydrated rats as compared to dehydrated rats. Therefore, we examined whether the altered expression of P2Y2-R in hydrated and dehydrated states is associated with corresponding changes in P2Y2-R-mediated PGE2 release by the IMCD. Rats were hydrated by providing sucrose-water as the sole drinking fluid, or dehydrated by water deprivation for 2 days. This resulted in high output-low osmolality, and low output-high osmolality urines in hydrated and dehydrated rats, respectively. In hydrated rats, there was a significant increase in tubular fluid PGE2, measured indirectly by assessing the urinary PGE2 metabolite. Stimulation of freshly isolated IMCD preparations in vitro with P2Y2-R agonist (ATPăS) showed a marked increase in the release of PGE2 in hydrated rats as compared to normal rats. These responses were blunted in the IMCD prepared from dehydrated rats. The P2Y2-R-mediated PGE2 release in the IMCD of hydrated rats was mediated largely by COX-1 since COX-1-specific inhibitor valeroyl salicylate completely blocked the release. The COX-2-specific inhibitor has only a modest and insignificant inhibitory effect. In conclusion, the increased sensitivity of purinergic-prostanoid interaction seen in the IMCD of hydrated rats may represent a novel vasopressin-independent regulatory mechanism of IMCD function.
