Urea has a critical role in urinary concentration. Mice lacking the inner
medullary collecting duct (IMCD) urea transporter A1 (UT-A1) and urea transporter
A3 (UT-A3) have very low levels of urea permeability and are unable to
concentrate urine. To investigate the role of UT-A1 in the concentration of
urine, we transgenically expressed UT-A1 in knockout mice lacking UT-A1 and UT-A3
using a construct with a UT-A1 gene that cannot be spliced to produce UT-A3. This
construct was inserted behind the original UT-A promoter to yield a mouse
expressing only UT-A1 (UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-)). Western blot analysis demonstrated
UT-A1 in the inner medulla of UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-) and wild-type mice, but not
in UT-A1/UT-A3 knockout mice, and an absence of UT-A3 in UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-)
and UT-A1/UT-A3 knockout mice. Immunohistochemistry in UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-) mice
also showed negative UT-A3 staining in kidney and other tissues and positive
UT-A1 staining only in the IMCD. Urea permeability in isolated perfused IMCDs
showed basal permeability in the UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-) mice was similar to levels
in wild-type mice, but vasopressin stimulation of urea permeability in wild-type
mice was significantly greater (100% increase) than in UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-) mice
(8% increase). Notably, basal urine osmolalities in both wild-type and
UT-A1(+/+)/UT-A3(-/-) mice increased upon overnight water restriction. We
conclude that transgenic expression of UT-A1 restores basal urea permeability to
the level in wild-type mice but does not restore vasopressin-stimulated levels of
urea permeability. This information suggests that transgenic expression of UT-A1
alone in mice lacking UT-A1 and UT-A3 is sufficient to restore
urine-concentrating ability.
