项目摘要

Project Summary G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a diverse family of integral membrane proteins that recognize an assortment of extracellular molecules including neurotransmitters, hormones, light and odors. Accordingly, they are important pharmaceutical targets, with over 1200 FDA approved drugs targeting GPCRs. However, many GPCRs have unknown biologic roles. Thus, uncovering the function and physiologic significance of understudied GPCRs represents a wealth of untapped therapeutic potential. Our lab previously reported that an adhesion-class GPCR (aGPCR), Gpr116, is among the most highly expressed GPCRs in the kidney. However, its role in renal physiology had not been investigated. Recently published data presented in the current proposal demonstrate localization of Gpr116 to the apical membrane of A-intercalated cells (AICs) in murine collecting ducts. Furthermore, deletion of Gpr116 from AICs using a targeted Cre-Lox recombination system revealed Gpr116 to be a critical regulator of renal acid excretion. Mice deficient for Gpr116 in the kidney have significantly reduced urine pH and are incapable of further acidifying their urine after induction of a metabolic acidosis, suggesting that loss of Gpr116 is sufficient to maximally acidify urine. Notably, the reduction in urine pH is accompanied with an increase in blood pH and a decrease in pCO2, an acid/base disorder we term “renal tubular alkalosis”. Moreover, Gpr116-null animals have significantly more surface expression of V-ATPase proton pumps in AICs. Although these findings are significant, there are still substantial gaps in our knowledge regarding the function of Gpr116 in the kidney. For example, the molecular mechanisms that cause urine acidification in the absence of Gpr116 in AICs are unknown, and the endogenous activator of the receptor has yet to be identified. Therefore, the overarching goal of this proposal is to address these critical components of Gpr116 renal physiology. Based on previous observations and strong preliminary data outlined in this proposal, I hypothesize that Gpr116 activation is facilitated by membrane-bound glycoproteins in the microvilli of stimulated AICs, leading to a Rho GTPase cascade and a retrieval of V-ATPase from the luminal membrane. These support my central hypothesis that Gpr116 acts as a negative-feedback element to inhibit excessive acid secretion through regulation of V-ATPase endocytosis. I have proposed the following specific aims to test this hypothesis: 1) Determine the Gpr116-activated pathways that inhibit V-ATPase surface expression; and 2) Identify interactions and luminal conditions that facilitate endogenous activation of Gpr116 in AICs. Completion of these studies will define the molecular pathways relevant to Gpr116 in the kidney for the first time and establish the therapeutic potential of Gpr116 as a targeted modulator of renal acid excretion.

项目概要 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 是一个多样化的整合膜蛋白家族，可识别各种细胞外分子，包括神经递质、激素、光和气味。是重要的药物靶点，FDA 批准了超过 1200 种针对 GPCR 的药物。 GPCR 具有未知的生物学作用，因此揭示其功能和生理意义。未充分研究的 GPCR 代表着大量尚未开发的治疗潜力。粘附类 GPCR (aGPCR) Gpr116 是肾脏中表达最高的 GPCR 之一。然而，其在肾脏生理学中的作用尚未得到研究。目前的提案证明 Gpr116 定位于 A 嵌入细胞 (AIC) 的顶膜此外，使用靶向 Cre-Lox 重组从 AIC 中删除 Gpr116。系统显示 Gpr116 是 Gpr116 缺陷小鼠肾酸排泄的关键调节因子。肾脏显着降低了尿液 pH 值，并且在诱导后无法进一步酸化尿液代谢性酸中毒，表明 Gpr116 的损失足以最大限度地酸化尿液。尿液 pH 值降低伴随着血液 pH 值升高和 pCO2（一种酸/碱）降低我们将这种疾病称为“肾小管性碱中毒”，此外，Gpr116 缺失的动物具有明显更多的表面。尽管这些发现很重要，但仍然存在一些问题。我们对 Gpr116 在肾脏中的功能的了解存在很大差距。 AIC 中缺乏 Gpr116 时导致尿液酸化的机制尚不清楚，并且因此，该提案的总体目标尚未确定。的目的是根据之前的观察和结果来解决 Gpr116 肾脏生理学的这些关键组成部分。本提案中概述了强有力的初步数据，我认为 Gpr116 的激活是通过刺激 AIC 的微绒毛中的膜结合糖蛋白，导致 Rho GTPase 级联和从腔膜中回收 V-ATP 酶这些支持了我的中心假设，即 Gpr116 充当一个负反馈元件通过调节 V-ATP 酶内吞作用抑制过多的酸分泌。提出了以下具体目标来检验这一假设：1）确定 Gpr116 激活途径抑制 V-ATP 酶表面表达；2) 确定促进的相互作用和腔内条件这些研究的完成将确定 AIC 中 Gpr116 的内源性激活的分子途径。首次与肾脏中的 Gpr116 相关，并确定 Gpr116 作为药物的治疗潜力肾酸排泄的靶向调节剂。
