Journal ArticleDOI

Dedifferentiation of committed epithelial cells into stem cells in vivo

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that differentiated airway epithelial cells can revert into stable and functional stem cells in vivo, and this capacity of committed cells to dedifferentiate into stem cells may have a more general role in the regeneration of many tissues and in multiple disease states, notably cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal Vacuolar H+-ATPase

TL;DR: The importance in final urinary acidification along the collecting system is highlighted by monogenic defects in two subunits (ATP6V0A4, ATP6V1B1) of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acidification of the male reproductive tract by a proton pumping (H+)-ATPase.

TL;DR: It is shown that a vacuolar (H+)–ATPase is expressed at high levels on the luminal plasma membrane of specialized cells in the epididymis, which closely resemble acid–secreting kidney intercalated cells and that similar cells are also present in the vas deferens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bicarbonate-regulated adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is a sensor that regulates pH-dependent V-ATPase recycling.

TL;DR: A novel pathway for pH regulation linking the bicarbonate activated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) to the vacuolar H+ATPase (V-ATPases) is reported, which may be a widespread mechanism that allows cells to sense and modulate extracellular pH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic factor stimulate cGMP-dependent membrane insertion of aquaporin 2 in renal epithelial cells

TL;DR: A novel, cAMP-independent and cGMP-dependent pathway for AQP2 membrane insertion in renal epithelial cells is demonstrated.
