Analysis of the Hypoxic Response in a Mouse Cortical Collecting Duct-Derived Cell Line Suggests That Esrra Is Partially Involved in Hif1α-Mediated Hypoxia-Inducible Gene Expression in mCCD_cl1 Cells.

ABSTRACT: The kidney is strongly dependent on a continuous oxygen supply, and is conversely highly sensitive to hypoxia. Controlled oxygen gradients are essential for renal control of solutes and urine-concentrating mechanisms, which also depend on various hormones including aldosterone. The cortical collecting duct (CCD) is part of the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron and possesses a key function in fine-tuned distal salt handling. It is well known that aldosterone is consistently decreased upon hypoxia. Furthermore, a recent study reported a hypoxia-dependent down-regulation of sodium currents within CCD cells. We thus investigated the possibility that cells from the cortical collecting duct are responsive to hypoxia, using the mouse cortical collecting duct cell line mCCDcl1 as a model. By an
