Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterizing the CD-principal-cell targeted mTOR deletion. (A) To evaluate cellular location of Cre-recombinase activity, LacZ reporter mice were crossed with Aqp2 c re transgenic mice and the kidneys of offspring probed for β-galactosidase activity- blue stain; left (Cre-negative); right (Cre-positive) demonstrating staining specific to renal collecting duct in Cre positive mice. mTOR CD-KO mice were generating by crossing male Mtor t m1.2K oz /J with female Aqp2 c re mice. Western blots of cortex and inner medulla homogenates (equal amounts of protein were loaded in each lane, 10 μg/lane) from wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) (B) male and (C) female mice ( n = 6/group) probed with anti-mTOR polyclonal antibody; (D) densitometric summaries of western blotting of mTOR in cortex (CTXH) and inner medullary homogenates (IMH, mean ± sem); (E) dot blot of inner medulla (IMH), outer medulla (OMH), and cortex (CTXH) homogenates (2 μl/dot) from WT and KO male and female mice ( n = 6/group) probed with anti-mTOR antibody. (F) Ponceau S staining of proteins on dot blot for loading correction of mTOR dot blot; (G) density summary of dots normalized by Ponceau intensity. Two-way ANOVA (genotype × sex) is shown below bars; * indicates a significant ( p < 0.05) difference between WT and KO.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity and expression in kidney is reduced in KO mice. (A) Natriuretic sensitivity to the ENaC-select antagonist, benzamil was used as a surrogate for in vivo ENaC activity. Male mice ( n = 6/genotype) were given a single intraperitoneal injection of benzamil @ 1.4 mg/kg⋅bw, urine collected in the subsequent 4-h period then measured for volume and Na+. The experiment was repeated the following week with 4.3 mg/kg⋅bw dose. (B) Male mice were fed NS or LS diet for 7-days ( n = 6/genotype/diet) then euthanized and kidneys harvested. (B) Western blots of kidney cortex homogenates loaded with 30 μg/lane were probed with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against α-, β-, or γ-ENaC as indicated. A reprobe with β-actin (representative image) was used to normalize bands. (C) Band density summary (mean ± sem) and results of 2-way ANOVA (genotype × treatment). The major bands for all three subunits were significantly reduced ( p < 0.05) in the KO, relative to WT. The LS diet also significantly affected abundance of all bands analyzed.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Abundances of non-collecting-duct sodium reabsorptive proteins. Western blots of kidney (A) cortex homogenates from NS and LS diet fed male WT and KO mice were probed with antibodies against candidate proteins. (B) Band density (mean ± sem) summary ( n = 6 mice/treatment/genotype) and two-way ANOVA p-values for major bands. NHE3, sodium hydrogen exchanger, type 3; NaPi-2, sodium phosphate cotransporter, type 2; NBCe1, electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter, type 1; NKCC2, bumetanide-sensitive sodium potassium 2 chloride cotransporter, type 2; NCC, thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter. KO mice had increased protein levels of NaPi-2 under LS diet, NBCe1 under NS diet, and NCC under both diets relative to WT.
