Abstract
Our previous studies have suggested a role for renomedullary interstitial cells (RMICs) and renal medullary hyaluronan (HA) in water homeostasis. In the present study, cultured rat RMICs were used to examine the relationship of osmolality and oxygen tension on the extracellular amount of HA in the culture and to the cellular immunoreactivity to CD44, a HA binding protein. Under isotonic (330 mOsm(.)kg(-1) H(2)O), normoxic (20% O(2)) conditions, supernatant from sub-confluent RMICs contained 120+/-37 pg 10(4) cells(-1) 24 h(-1) of HA. Under hyperosmotic conditions (630 mOsm kg(-1) H(2)O), HA in the supernatant was decreased by 42% and under hypoosmotic conditions (230 mOsm kg(-1) H(2)O) it was doubled. Under hypoxic, iso-osmolar conditions (5% and 1% O(2), 330 mOsm kg(-1) H(2)O) this HA content was decreased by 56 and 48%, respectively, compared with normoxic, iso-osmolal conditions. Expression of CD44 on sub-confluent cells increased with increasing osmolality, as shown by immunostaining and flow cytometric analysis. The increases in CD44 from 330 to 630, 930 and 1230 mOsm kg(-1) H(2)O amounted to 5, 142 and 212%, respectively. Low oxygen tension (5% O(2)) decreased the intensity of CD44 immunofluorescence by 31%. Cell viabilit...Continue Reading
