'Aquaporin-omics': mechanisms of aquaporin-2 loss in polyuric disorders.

ABSTRACT: Animal models of a variety of acquired nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) disorders have identified a common feature: all such models are associated with the loss of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) from collecting duct principal cells, explaining the associated polyuria. To discover mechanisms of AQP2 loss, previous investigators have carried out either transcriptomics (lithium-induced NDI, unilateral ureteral obstruction, endotoxin-induced NDI) or proteomics (hypokalaemia-associated NDI, hypercalcaemia-associated NDI, bilateral ureteral obstruction), yielding contrasting views. Here, to address whether there may be common mechanisms underlying loss of AQP2 in acquired NDI disorders, we have used bioinformatic data integration techniques to combine information from all transcriptomic and proteomic da
