L23 Flashcards
where is ADH produced
• Vasopressin produced in the hypothalamus in the suber optic and paraventricular nuclei
where is ADH stored and released from
posterior
pituitary gland
what receptor does vasopressin bind to/where is the receptor
• Vasopressin binds to the vasopressin receptor (V2) on the basolateral membrane of LDT and CD cells
what is the result of ADH binding to the V2 receptor
• Results in incorporation of AQP2 channels into the apical membrane = increase H2O flow
what is diabetes insipidus
large volumes of urine
where is AQP2 located in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts
• apical membrane or
subapical cytoplasmic
vesicles
what is AQP2 regulated by
• AQP2 is regulated by the action of vasopressin (ADH)
when is the LDT and CD permeable to water
only in the presence of vasopressin
what is the membrane shuttle hypothesis
when things are stored in vesicles under the membrane, which then insert themselves into the membrane when needed (phosphorylation)
what happens intracellularly when ADH binds to the V2 receptor
it activates adenylyl cyclase which converts ATP-> cAMP which activates PKA
PKA phosphorylates the vesicles and AQP2 gets inserted into the apical membrane
what are some symptoms of diabetes insipidus (DI)
theres 5
- Polyuria - large volume - hypotonic urine (>15L/d)
- Polydipsia - excessive drinking
- First year of life - vomiting, fever, slow growth, developmental delay
- Severe dehydration
- Severe cases - mental deficiency due to dehydration of the brain
there are 2 types of DI. what are these
- Central Diabetes Insipidus (Neurogenic DI)
* Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
what is Central Diabetes Insipidus (Neurogenic DI)
• Central Diabetes Insipidus (Neurogenic DI) - lack of production of vasopressin (ADH) by the hypothalamus or release from the posterior pituitary gland
what is Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
- problem at the level of the kidney
They have lots of ADH but there is no response
what causes nephrogenic DI
there are 2 reasons
it is either the receptor (V2) or the channel (AQP2)
Congenital X-Linked NDI is a mutated V2
receptor
– 90% of NDI patients
– Normally males (because it is X linked)
• Autosomal NDI - mutated AQP2 channel
– 10% of NDI patients
– Normal V2 function
Congenital X-Linked NDI is a mutated V2
receptor. how many mutations are there in this receptor
200 especially located at the n terminus
Autosomal NDI - mutated AQP2 channel
44 of 53 mutations
what are the NAP boxes in the autosomal dominant NDI
NAP are made up of an asparagine, proline and alanine. These amino acids are within the 4 subunits which produce the pore itself which leads to improper function of the AQP2
mutations in V2 receptor and AQP2 result in…
5 problems
- non-functional AQP2 channels and V2 receptors
- ineffective biosynthesis of protein (AQP2 or V2) they will never get to the membrane as the golgi will detect that they are mutated and degrade them
- simple binding impairment of V2 receptors
- intracellular trafficking problems (AQP2 or V2)
- accelerated degradation of AQP2 channel or V2 receptor to the proteasome or lysosome
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Vasopressin is produced in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the posterior pituitary gland.
B. Central diabetes insipidus is a problem with vasopressin
production, storage and release from the hypothalamus
C. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a problem at the
level of the late distal tubule and collecting duct.
D. Individuals with NDI exhibit reduced urine production.
A. is wrong as it says produced in the posterior pituitary. it is produced in the hypothalamus and stored/released from the posterior pituitary
B. it is only a problem with the release
D. increased urine production
C is correct
what is Bartters syndrome
it is autosomal recessive disorder which effects about 1:50,000 to 1:100,000 births
• salt-wasting (NaCl loss in urine)
what are some symptoms of Bartters syndrome
- hypereninism and hyperaldosteronism
- metabolic alkalosis
- hypokalemia (low blood K+)
there are 3 thypes of barters syndrome. what are their causes
• Bartter’s Syndrome Type 1
– apical Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2)
• Bartter’s Syndrome Type 2
– apical K+ channel (ROMK1)
• Bartter’s Syndrome Type 3
– basolateral Cl- channel (CLCNKB)
what part of the nephron does bartters syndrome effect the most
why
the thick ascending limb
because the role of this segment is to reabsorb Na, K and Cl
the TAL reabsorbs 25% of the Na filtered load
