Aquaporin Expression Contributes to Human Transurothelial Permeability In Vitro and Is Modulated by NaCl [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is generally considered that the bladder is impervious and stores urine in unmodified form on account of the barrier imposed by the highly-specialised uro-epithelial lining.

Gas-tight triblock-copolymer membranes are converted to CO2 permeable by insertion of plant aquaporins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We demonstrate that membranes consisting of certain triblock-copolymers were tight for CO2. Using a novel approach, we provide evidence for aquaporin facilitated CO2 diffusion.

Aquaporin-10 represents an alternative pathway for glycerol efflux from human adipocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Glycerol outflow from adipocytes has been considered for a decade to be mediated by aquaporin-7, an aquaglyceroporin highly expressed in the adipose tissue. Its involvement in glycerol metabolism has been widely studied also in humans. Recent

Aquaporin‐2 regulation in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, 2012
AbstractAquaporin‐2 (AQP2), the vasopressin‐regulated water channel of the renal collecting duct, is dysregulated in numerous disorders of water balance in people and animals, including those associated with polyuria (urinary tract obstruction, hypokalemia, inflammation, and lithium toxicity) and with dilutional hyponatremia (syndrome of inappropriate ...

Expression and prognostic value of aquaporin 1, 3 in cervical carcinoma in women of Uygur ethnicity from Xinjiang, China. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Overexpression of several aquaporins has been reported in different types of human cancer but the role of aquaporins in carcinogenesis has not yet been clearly defined.

Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica: A multicentre study of 175 patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of

The AQP2 mutation V71M causesnephrogenic diabetes insipidus in humans but does not impair the function of a bacterial homolog

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2015
Several point mutations have been identified in human aquaporins, but their effects on the function of the respective aquaporins are mostly enigmatic. We analyzed the impact of the aquaporin 2 mutation V71M, which causesnephrogenic diabetes insipidus in ...

Localization and trafficking of aquaporin 2 in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yesHistochemistry and Cell Biology, 2008
Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins serving in the transfer of water and small solutes across cellular membranes. AQPs play a variety of roles in the body such as urine formation, prevention from dehydration in covering epithelia, water handling in the blood-brain barrier, secretion, conditioning of the sensory system, cell motility and metastasis,

Vascular Inflammation Is Associated with Loss of Aquaporin 1 Expression on Endothelial Cells and Increased Fluid Leakage in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Golden Syrian Hamsters

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Vascular changes represent a characteristic feature of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leading to a breakdown of the vascular barrier and subsequent edema formation.

Aquaporin-2 in the immature rat [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1997
The immature kidney is resistant to arginine vasopressin. To define the role of aquaporin-2 (AQP-2), the developmental expression of this water channel was studied in rats. AQP-2 levels were lower during early postnatal life, reaching maximal expression at 10 wk of age. Concurrently, urine osmolality increased from 242 +/- 60 to 1267 +/- 311 mosmol/kg.
