Emerging evidence has shown that bile acids play important roles in renal physiology and diseases by activating two major receptors, the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the membrane G protein-coupled bile acid receptor-1 (Gpbar1; also known as TGR5). Both FXR and TGR5 have been identified in human and rodent kidneys, where they are deeply involved in renal water handling. In mice, FXR- or TGR5-related gene deficiency has been associated with reduced aquaporin-2 expression accompanied with impaired urinary concentration ability. In this mini-review, we briefly discuss the current understanding of FXR/TGR5 signaling in the kidneys, with a special focus on the regulation of aquaporin-2 expression by bile acids in the collecting ducts and its potential significance in disease conditions.
