Corticosteroid-dependent sodium transport in a novel immortalized mouse collecting duct principal cell line

The final control of sodium balance takes place in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) of the
nephron, where corticosteroid hormones regulate sodium reabsorption by acting through
mineralocorticoid (MR) and/or glucocorticoid (GR) receptors. A clone of principal CCD cells
(mpkCCD c14) has been established that is derived from a transgenic mouse (SV40 large T
antigen under the control of the SV40 enhancer/L-type pyruvate kinase promoter). Cells
grown on filters form polarized monolayers with high electrical transepithelial resistance (RT …
