In support of this notion, we now show that the increased baseline urine osmolality is indeed associated with an increase in the renal expression of AQP2, a process that is regulated by arginine vasopressin (AVP) and contributes to the increase in water permeability of the collecting ducts [24]. | |||||||||||||||

Treatment with a vasopressin receptor antagonist reversed the consequence of non-osmotic increase in vasopressin release in these conditions and improved urinary dilution, and animal studies showed that AQP2 expression was increased [4,6]. | |||||||||||||||

Because renal prostaglandins are derived largely from cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), we hypothesized that treatment of NDI with a COX-2 inhibitor may relieve polyuria through increased expression of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter type 2 (NKCC2) in the thick ascending limb and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the collecting duct. | |||||||||||||||

Interestingly, in a parallel study, we found that treatment with the AT1 receptor blocker candesartan in NaCl-restricted normal rats prevented the increase of the expression of inner medullary AQP2 and phosphorylated-AQP2 (AQP2 phosphorylated in the PKA-phosphorylation consensus site Ser-256) and the increase of urine concentration in response to the long-term dDAVP treatment (25). | |||||||||||||||
