The tight junction protein, MUPP1, is up-regulated by hypertonicity and is important in the osmotic stress response in kidney cells.
Antibody array proteomics was used to detect differentially expressed proteins in inner medullary collecting duct 3 (IMCD3) cells grown under isotonic and chronic hypertonic conditions. Of 512 potential proteins, >90% were unchanged in expression. Noteworthy was the up-regulation of several tight junction-related proteins, including MUPP1 (multi-PDZ protein-1), ZO1 (zonula occludens 1), and Af6. The most robustly up-regulated protein under hypertonic conditions was MUPP1 (7.2x, P < 0.001). Changes in expression for MUPP1 were verified by quantitative PCR for message and Western blot for protein. In mouse kidney tissues, MUPP1 expression was substantial in the papilla and was absent in the cortex. Furthermore, MUPP1 expression increased 253% (P < 0.01) in the papilla upon 36 h of thirsting. Localization of MUPP1 protein expression was confirmed by immunocytochemical analysis demonstrating only minor staining under isotonic conditions and the substantial presence in chronically adapted cells at the basolateral membrane. Message and protein half-life in IMCD3 cells were 26.2 and 17.8 h, respectively. Osmotic initiators of MUPP1 expression included NaCl, sucrose, mannitol, sodium acetate, and choline chloride but not urea. Stable IMCD3 clones silenced for MUPP1 expression used the pSM2-MUPP1 vector. In cell viability experiments, clones silenced for MUPP1 demonstrated only a minor loss in cell survival under acute sublethal osmotic stress compared with empty vector control cells. In contrast, a 24% loss (P < 0.02) in transepithelial resistance for monolayers of MUPP1-silenced cells was determined as compared with controls. These results suggest that MUPP1 specifically, and potentially tight junction complexes in general, are important in the renal osmoadaptive response.
