J Clin Invest 1996; 98:906-913. In this study, it was shown that syntaxin-4 is present in the apical membrane of AQP2-expressing collecting duct cells. Because a complementary protein (VAMP-2 [8,9]) in vesicle docking and fusion machinery has previously been identified in AQP2-containing vesicles of the same cells, it is suggested that these proteins are involved in fusion of AQP2-containing vesicles with the apical membrane of collecting duct cells.

In this study calcium/polycation receptor proteins were identified in apical membranes of rat and human collecting ducts, which provides support for an IMCD calcium signalling mechanism antagonizing AVP-induced water transport.

J Am Soc Nephrol 1997; 8:1493-1501. In this study it was shown that in an AQP2-transfected cell line the vasopressin-induced increase in transcellular osmotic water permeability coincides with the translocation of AQP2 from intracellular vesicles to the apical membrane of the cells. These cells are a good model to study short-term regulation of AQP2.

J Biol Chem 1996; 271:24365-24370. In this study it was shown the first time that in a transfected human collecting duct cell AQP2 is translocated from intracellular vesicles to the apical membrane after incubation with vasopressin, which increases the water permeability of the apical membrane sixfold. These cells provide a good model to study short-term regulation of AQP2.

In this study a mouse collecting duct cell line was established with endogeneous expression of AQP2. In addition the authors showed that the cAMP responsive element is the key element in the cAMP-induced transcriptional activation of the AQP2 gene.

In this study it was shown that in rats the increase in water excretion after a water load despite sustained administration of vasopressin is associated with a marked reduction of AQP2 protein and mRNA levels. This result suggests that this 'escape' from vasopressin-induced antidiureses is, at least in part, attributable to a vasopressin-independent decrease in AQP2 expression levels.
