Regulation of V2 receptor by vasopressin is different in Brattleboro rats compared with Wistar.
This paper presents the new priority data on the effect of genetically determined deficiency of endogenous vasopressin on the functioning of V2 receptor in the plasma membrane of the principal cells of the collection ducts of Brattleboro rats. It was found that 2-day desmopressin administration results in the activation of V2 receptor gene expression in Brattleboro rat, whereas in Wistar rats the content of mRNA did not change. In addition, short-term exposure of the collection ducts of the kidneys to the hormone led to V2 receptor internalization from the plasma membrane in Wistar rats, but had no effect on the protein content in Brattleboro rats.
