Androgens upregulate aquaporin 9 expression in the prostate
International Journal of Urology, 2008Objectives: Aquaporins (AQP) function as selective pores allowing water, glycerol and other small solutes to pass through the cell membrane. We previously reported that AQP are expressed in the prostates of both humans and rats. The present study investigated the androgen‐dependent expression of AQP9 in the prostate in vivo and in vitro.Methods: Rat ...

Distribution and possible roles of aquaporin 9 in the brain
Neuroscience, 2004Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) is a member of the aquaporin channel family involved in water flux through plasma membranes and exhibits the distinct feature of being also permeable to monocarboxylates, such as lactate, and various solutes, including glycerol, carbamides, purines, pyrimidines, and urea.

The Implication of Aquaporin-9 in the Pathogenesis of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
Zeitschrift für Geburtshilfe und Neonatologie, 2022AbstractObjective This study aimed to detect aquaporin-9 (AQP9) concentrations in the serum of patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and compare them with the healthy control group with intact membranes.Material and methods We conducted this prospective case-control study from March 2021 to August 2021.

Increase of aquaporin 9 expression in astrocytes participates in astrogliosis
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2017Here we assess the potential functional role of increased aquaporin 9 (APQ9) in astrocytes. Increased AQP9 expression was achieved in primary astrocyte cultures by transfection of a plasmid‐containing green fluorescent protein fused to either wild‐type or mutated human AQP9. Increased AQP9 expression and phosphorylation at Ser222 were associated with a

Expression of aquaporin 9 in human chorioamniotic membranes and placenta
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) is one of the recently identified water channels that is also permeable to neutral solutes including urea. To investigate the molecular mechanism of intramembranous pathway of amniotic fluid regulation, we sought to determine whether AQP9 is expressed, and the cellular localization of AQP9 expression in human fetal membranes.Fetal ...

Aquaporin 9 is expressed in the epididymis of immature and mature pigs
Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2017ContentsAquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins that facilitate the transepithelial and bidirectional movement of water. AQP9 is an aquaporin that is expressed in the mammalian epididymis. This water transport contributes to epididymal sperm concentration.

Reduced expression of aquaporin 9 in tubal ectopic pregnancy
Journal of Molecular Histology, 2012Previous studies demonstrate significant roles for passive water channels (aquaporins, AQPs) in maintaining water homeostasis in cell membranes of endometrial cells during decidualisation and embryo implantation. However, there is little information regarding the role of AQPs in the human fallopian tube, specifically their role in human tubal ectopic ...

Radioimmunoassay for aquaporin-9.
Endocrine regulations, 2005To develop radioimmunoassay for aquaporin-9 (AQP9) and search for its presence in certain rat tissues.Anti-AQP9 antiserum has been raised in New Zealand white rabbits immunized with a conjugate of synthetic AQP9 with bovine serum albumin. Radioiodination of AQP9 was performed by chloramin T method followed by purification of radioiodinated material on ...

Cloning and cellular expression of aquaporin 9 in ovine fetal membranes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2005Amniotic fluid (AF) absorption across fetal membranes is essential for AF volume homeostasis, balancing fetal swallowing, urine flow, and lung liquid production. In sheep, AF is absorbed primarily across the amniotic membrane into fetal vasculature situated between the amnion and chorion. Aquaporins (AQPs) are cell membrane proteins that serve as water
