In the renal collecting ducts, chloride reabsorption occurs through both transcellular and paracellular pathways. Recent literature highlights a functional interplay between both pathways. We recently showed that in polarized inner medullary collecting duct cells, expression of the basolateral kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) results in a decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), in a claudin-4 dependent pathway. Claudin-4 is a paracellular sodium blocker and chloride pore. Here, we show that kAE1 expression in mouse inner medullary collecting duct cells triggers WNK4, SPAK and claudin-4 phosphorylation. Expression of a functionally dead kAE1 E681Q mutant has no effect on phosphorylation of these proteins. Expression of a catalytically inactive WNK4 D321A or chloride-insensitive WNK4 L319F mutant abolishes kAE1 effect on TEER, supporting a contribution of WNK4 to the process. We propose that variations of the cytosolic pH and chloride concentration upon kAE1 expression alter WNK4 kinase activity and tight junction properties. |
