| Abstract | The present study was performed to investigate the role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the regulation of urea transport in the frog urinary bladder, which is known to occur via a specialized arginine-vasotocin- (AVT-) regulated urea transporter. The bladders isolated from Rana temporaria L. were filled with amphibian Ringer solution containing 370 Bq/ml (0.01 µCi/ml) of [14C]urea, and urea permeability (P urea) was determined by sampling the serosal and mucosal bathing medium at 30-min intervals for measurement of radioactivity. It was found that, from the serosal side, PGE2 (10 nM to 1 µM) caused a dose-dependent increase in P urea [(7.2±1.8)×10–6 cm/s in the presence of 0.5 µM PGE2 versus (1.0±0.2)×10–6 cm/s in control, n=9, P<0.001]. As in response to AVT, the PGE2-induced P urea reached a maximum in 1–1.5 h after the agonist was added. The stimulatory effects of PGE2 and AVT applied together were not additive. PGE2-induced urea transport was strongly inhibited by nearly 75% in the presence of mucosal or serosal phloretin (10–4 M). P urea was enhanced up to (4.7±0.8)×10–6 cm/s (n=12, P<0.001) by butaprost (5×10–6 M), a selective EP2 receptor agonist, while sulprostone (EP1/EP3 agonist, 10–6 M) caused no changes in P urea. PGE2 dose-dependently increased the content of cAMP in mucosal epithelial cells (control: 18.0±1.8; 10–6 M PGE2: 74.2±9.3 pmol cAMP/mg protein per 30 min, n=7, P<0.001). Phorbol esters did not alter PGE2-induced P urea, whereas H-89 (20 µM), a protein kinase A inhibitor, reduced it by 45.1±9.9% (n=5, P<0.05). PGE2 did not change the AVT-stimulated P urea measured in isoosmotic conditions, but inhibited the last one in the presence of a serosa-to-mucosa osmotic gradient. The data obtained show that, in the frog urinary bladder, PGE2 is a stimulator of phloretin-inhibitable urea transport. Its effect seems to be mediated by EP2 receptor-coupled generation of intracellular cAMP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
