Role of collecting duct principal cell NOS1beta in sodium and potassium homeostasis #MMPMID34665521

The nitric oxide (NO)-generating enzyme, NO synthase-1beta (NOS1beta), is essential for sodium (Na(+) ) homeostasis and blood pressure control. We previously showed that collecting duct principal cell NOS1beta is critical for inhibition of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) during high Na(+) intake. Previous studies on freshly isolated cortical collecting ducts (CCD) demonstrated that exogenous NO promotes basolateral potassium (K(+) ) conductance through basolateral channels, presumably K(ir) 4.1 (Kcnj10) and K(ir) 5.1 (Kcnj16). We, therefore, investigated the effects of NOS1beta knockout on K(ir) 4.1/K(ir) 5.1 channel activity. Indeed, in CHO cells overexpressing NOS1beta and K(ir) 4.1/K(ir) 5.1, the inhibition of NO signaling decreased channel activity. Male littermate control and principal cell NOS1beta knockout mice (CDNOS1KO) on a 7-day, 4% NaCl diet (HSD) were used to detect changes in basolateral K(+) conductance. We previously demonstrated that CDNOS1KO mice have high circulating aldosterone despite a high-salt diet and appropriately suppressed renin. We observed greater K(ir) 4.1 cortical abundance and significantly greater K(ir) 4.1/K(ir) 5.1 single-channel activity in the principal cells from CDNOS1KO mice. Moreover, blocking aldosterone action with in vivo spironolactone treatment resulted in lower K(ir) 4.1 abundance and greater plasma K(+) in the CDNOS1KO mice compared to controls. Lowering K(+) content in the HSD prevented the high aldosterone and greater plasma Na(+) of CDNOS1KO mice and normalized K(ir) 4.1 abundance. We conclude that during chronic HSD, lack of NOS1beta leads to increased plasma K(+) , enhanced circulating aldosterone, and activation of ENaC and K(ir) 4.1/K(ir) 5.1 channels. Thus, principal cell NOS1beta is required for the regulation of both Na(+) and K(+) by the kidney.
