Abstract excerpt
Expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and -2 (AQP2) channels in the kidney are critical for the maintenance of water homeostasis and the operation of the urinary concentrating mechanism. Hypertonic stress induced in inner medullary (IMCD3) cells by addition of NaCl to the medium substantially up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of AQP1, suggesting that its activation occurs at a transcriptional and a...
