Osmotic water flow (Jw) across tight distal nephron epithelial membranes increases upon exposure to vasopressin: following binding of the hormone to its receptors, intracellular cyclic AMP concentration increases, leading to insertion of aquaporins in the apical membrane. The involvement of intercellular communication in the process, however, has not been adequately explored. Octanol, 1.2 × 10-3 M, a gap junction inhibitor, significantly reduced Jw (expressed as mg·20 min-1) in isolated toad urinary bladders (a model of the distal nephron) subjected to a transepithelial osmotic gradient and exposed to agents mimicking the vasopressin-triggered mechanism: oxytocin, 50 mIU·mL-1 (from 185.3 ± 28.0, P < 0.001, to 69.0 ± 23.6, P < 0.05; Pdiff < ...
