A Genetic Reporter for Visualizing Nitroreductase Activity Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
We introduce a reporter gene technology to noninvasively visualize bacterial nitroreductase activity. Our method utilizes a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reporter based on aquaporin, which is fused to a destabilizing domain, resulting in their degradation (off‐state).

Virtual Screening of Traditional Chinese Medicine Natural Product Inhibitors Targeting AQP1 for Bladder Cancer

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bladder cancer (BCa) is the most common and representative type of adult urinary tract urothelial cancer, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. It has become a major disease threatening public health, highlighting the urgent need for the development of comprehensive treatment strategies, including traditional Chinese ...

Aquaporin-2 is not alone

Kidney International, 2023
Arginine-vasopressin induces water reabsorption in collecting duct principal cells through the water channels aquaporin (AQP) 2, 3, and 4. Only the presence of these AQPs allows for short-term adjustments of plasma osmolality by arginine-vasopressin. How principal cells maintain the expression of the AQPs is unclear.

The vasopressin–aquaporin-2 pathway syndromes

2021
Vasopressin is the key hormone involved in water conservation and regulation of water balance, essential for life. In the renal collecting duct, vasopressin binds to the V2 receptor, increasing water permeability through activation of aquaporin-2 redistribution to the luminal membrane.

Regulation of Aquaporin-2 Trafficking

2009
Principal cells lining renal collecting ducts control the fine-tuning of body water homeostasis by regulating water reabsorption through the water channels aquaporin-2 (AQP2), aquaporin-3 (AQP3), and aquaporin-4 (AQP4). While the localization of AQP2 is subject to regulation by arginine-vasopressin (AVP), AQP3 and AQP4 are constitutively expressed in ...

Regulation of aquaporin-2 by RNA interference

2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that interact with 3'-untranslated regions of mRNAs. miRNAs modulate gene expression by regulating mRNA translation and provide novel insights into the complex regulation of protein expression and function. In this chapter, we describe the general features of RNA interference, identification of miRNAs, and ...

Repressive regulation of the aquaporin-2 gene

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1996
Expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is exclusively limited to kidney collecting duct cells, and this strictly limited expression could be mediated by transcription of the gene. We first examined AQP2 mRNA expression in many cultured epithelial cells derived from kidney.

Aquaporin-2 in the human endolymphatic sac

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2004
To detect and localize aquaporin-2 (AQP-2), a water channel regulated by the antidiuretic hormone, in human endolymphatic sac.Human endolymphatic sacs were sampled during removal of vestibular schwannomas via a translabyrinthine approach. Samples were immediately fixed in 10% formalin (24 h) and embedded in paraffin; in situ hybridization and ...
