Abstract

The c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinases (JNKs), as well as the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, are activated in renal cells in response to extracellular hypertonicity. To determine whether activation of JNKs by hypertonicity is isoform-specific, renal inner medullary collecting duct cells were stably transfected with cDNA's encoding hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged JNK1 and JNK2 isoforms, and the expressed kinases were immunoprecipitated with an anti-HA antibody. Whereas both recombinant kinases were equivalently expressed, only immunoprecipitates from the HA-JNK2 cells displayed hypertonicity-inducible JNK activity. Furthermore, expression of dominant-negative JNK2 (HA-JNK2-APF) in stable clones inhibited hypertonicity-induced JNK activation by 40-70%, whereas expression of dominant-negative JNK1 (HA-JNK1-APF) had no significant inhibitory effect. Independent HA-JNK2-APF (but not HA-JNK1-APF) clones displayed greatly reduced viability relative to neomycin controls after 16 h of exposure to 600 mosM/kg hypertonic medium with percent survival of 20.5 +/- 2.7 and 31.5 +/- 7.3 for two independent HA-JNK2-APF clones compared with 80.1 +/- 1.0 for neomycin controls (p < 0.001, ...Continue Reading
