Rabbit renal papillary collecting tubule cells were isolated as a homogeneous population and grown in primary culture. These cells were maintained in fully defined medium to inhibit fibroblast overgrowth and to facilitate labeling of endogenous inositol phospholipids with myo-[2-3H]inositol with high specific activity. These cells demonstrated the morphology, cyclic AMP responsiveness, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) elaboration, consistent with previous published characterizations. When cells labeled with myo-[2-3H]inositol were stimulated by bradykinin at 10(-7) M, time-dependent and reversible changes in the distribution of inositol polyphosphates were observed. Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and inositol 1,4-diphosphate showed time-dependent and dose-dependent increases to maximal levels of 225 and 223% of control, respectively. These data indicate that the elaboration of inositol polyphosphates is a biochemical correlate to bradykinin stimulation and may play a role in PGE2 release in renal papillary collecting tubule cells.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
