Vasopressin acts on the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) in the kidney to regulate water and urea transport. To obtain a "parts list" of gene products expressed in the IMCD, we carried out mRNA profiling of freshly isolated rat IMCD cells using Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 microarrays with approximately 31,000 features; 7,913 annotated transcripts were found to be expressed above background in the IMCD cells. We have created a new online database (the "IMCD Transcriptome Database;" http://dir.nhlbi.nih.gov/papers/lkem/imcdtr/) to make the results publicly accessible. Among the 30 transcripts with the greatest signals on the arrays were 3 water channels: aquaporin-2, aquaporin-3, and aquaporin-4, all of which have been reported to be targets for regulation by vasopressin. In addition, the transcript with the greatest signal among members of the solute carrier family of genes was the UT-A urea transporter (Slc14a2), which is also regulated by vasopressin. The V2 vasopressin receptor was strongly expressed, but the V1a and V1b vasopressin receptors did not produce signals above background. Among the 200 protein kinases expressed, the serum-glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (Sgk1) had the greatest signal intensity in the IMCD. WNK1 and WNK4 were also expressed in the IMCD with a relatively high signal intensity, as was protein kinase A (beta-catalytic subunit). In addition, a large number of transcripts corresponding to A kinase anchoring proteins and 14-3-3 proteins (phospho-S/T-binding proteins) were expressed. Altogether, the results combine with proteomics studies of the IMCD to provide a framework for modeling complex interaction networks responsible for vasopressin action in collecting duct cells.
