nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disease characterized by the production of very large quantities of dilute urine resulting from an inability of the kidney to respond to vasopressin (9). In the US, approximately 41,000 people are diagnosed with NDI each year. NDI can result from either congenital or acquired etiologies. Mutations in the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V 2 R) occur in 90% of families (in which the mutation is known) with congenital NDI and in the aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channel in the other 10%(9). Congenital NDI has a profound impact on children with the disease who produce up to 20 liters of urine per day and thus must drink 20 liters of water daily to avoid dehydration. Children who suffer multiple episodes of severe dehydration often end up with mental retardation (1). However, mental retardation can be prevented with adequate water intake to prevent dehydration (1). Acquired NDI can result from multiple causes, most commonly by chronic use of lithium, a medication that interferes with cAMP production and signaling, and which is used to treat bipolar disorders (10).AQP2 increases the water permeability of the collecting duct apical plasma membrane in response to vasopressin, facilitating water reabsorption in the presence of an osmotic gradient (3). AQP2 has four vasopressin-sensitive phosphorylation sites: S256, S261, S264, and S269. Both S256 and S261 are involved in AQP2 trafficking to the apical plasma membrane. Phosphorylation at S269 is important for AQP2 retention in the apical plasma membrane. In patients with V 2 R mutations or taking lithium, there are no mutations in AQP2, suggesting that if it were possible to increase AQP2's apical plasma membrane accumulation and function, independent of vasopressin, one might be able to treat, or at least lessen the severity of, the NDI.
