ABSTRACT
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes i n s i p i d u s (NDI) i s an X- l inked i n h e r i t e d d isorder character ized by rena l res is tance t o the a n t i d i u r e t i c hormonal ac t ion o f vasopressin. Thi s study describes the molecular bas is o f nephrogenic diabetes i ns ip idus i n a dog fami ly . Kidney membranes prepared from NDI-af fected male huskies were examined f o r vasopressin b ind ing and response. Compared t o membranes from unaffected canines, those from the kidney i nne r medulla o f NDI-dogs possessed normal VZ-receptor numbers, bu t w i t h 10 - fo ld lower a f f i n i t y f o r [ Argn] vasopressin (AVP). Adenylate cyclase s t imu la t i on by AVP i n con t ras t t o t h a t by f o r s k o l i n o r GTP-analogues was s i m i l a r l y reduced i n a dose responsive manner. The NDI-affected dogs showed a n t i d i u r e t i c responses t o very h igh doses o f V2-speci f ic agonists, cons is ten t w i t h t h e i r possessing V2-receptors o f lower a f f i n i t y . Prolonged treatment w i t h V2-agonists, 1-deamino [ D-Arg8] VP (dDAVP) and 1-deamino [ ValL,Sar7] AVP (dVSAVP), rendered the NDI-affected dogs near normal i n terms o f water i n take and u r i n e osmola l i t y .

DISCUSSION
This study represents a demonstration o f an a l te red
V2-receptor i n a new animal model t h a t phenotyp ica l l y resembles
human h e r i d i t a r y nephrogenic diabetes i ns ip idus . The N O 1 phenotype i n the dog family studied appears t o be the d i r e c t
r e s u l t o f reduced V2-receptor a f f i n i t y f o r l igand. Approximately
normal numbers o f receptors were present, which coup1 ed
f u n c t i o n a l l y t o adenylate cyclase upon vasopressin treatment. A t en - fo ld higher hormone concentrat ion, however, was requ i red i n
the case o f kidney membranes from NDI-affected dogs t o e f f e c t a
l eve l o f s t imu la t i on comparable t o t h a t i n con t ro l membranes,
consistent w i t h t h e reduced V2-receptor a f f i n i t y . I n cont ras t ,
adenylate cyclase s t imu la t i on i n response t o fo rsko l i n , NaF and
non-hydrolyzable GTP-analogues was comparable between membranes
from normal o r NDI-canines i n d i c a t i n g t h a t the NDI phenotype
could not be a t t r i b u t e d t o a l t e r e d adenylate cyclase o r G-protein

i n t h e V2-receptor i t s e l f . A r o l e f o r V2-receptors i n clearance
o f vasopressin and analogues w i t h high V2-receptor a f f i n i t y has
been suggested by e a r l i e r studies (20, 21) and a recent study
