Defects in KCNJ16 Cause a Novel Tubulopathy with Hypokalemia, Salt Wasting, Disturbed Acid-Base Homeostasis, and Sensorineural Deafness

Abstract: BackgroundThe transepithelial transport of electrolytes, solutes, and water in the kidney is a well-orchestrated process involving numerous membrane transport systems. Basolateral potassium channels in tubular cells not only mediate potassium recycling for proper Na+,K+-ATPase function but are also involved in potassium and pH sensing. Genetic defects in KCNJ10 cause EAST/SeSAME syndrome, characterized by renal salt wasting with hypokalemic alkalosis associated with epilepsy, ataxia, and sensorineural deafness… Show more

“…A possible explanation for this is that depolarization in the principal cells of these mice stimulates intracellular signaling cascades that stimulate ENaC‐dependent K + secretion (Sorensen et al, 2019 ). This is similar to the concept that K ir 4.1/K ir 5.1 serves as a potassium sensor in the DCT to regulate Na + reabsorption through the sodium chloride cotransporter (Manis et al, 2020 ; Su et al, 2019 ) explaining hypokalemia observed in rodents and humans lacking functional K ir 4.1/K ir 5.1 channels (Celmina et al, 2019 ; Cuevas et al, 2017 ; Malik et al, 2018 ; Palygin, Levchenko, et al, 2017 ; Schlingmann et al, 2021 ; Su et al, 2019 ; Tomilin et al, 2018 ). Thus, the precise effects of changes in K ir 4.1/K ir 5.1 activity on K + homeostasis likely depend on the degree of change as well as the affected nephron segment.…”

“…The importance of basolateral K + channels is also reinforced by clinical data that identify loss of function mutations in KCNJ10 (K ir 4.1) causing EAST/SeSAME syndrome, in which patients have hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and salt‐wasting (Celmina et al, 2019 ). Similarly, recent studies revealed that mutations in KCNJ16 (K ir 5.1) cause a novel tubulopathy with hypokalemia, salt‐wasting, and disturbed acid‐base homeostasis (Schlingmann et al, 2021 ). Previous electrophysiological studies determined that CCD basolateral K + channel activity was decreased with inhibition of NOS and this was reversed with exogenous NO (Lu & Wang, 1996 ).…”

“…The "collateral damage" of increased salt reabsorption through NCC is an increase in salt sensitivity localization of the mutations affecting the potassium channel. KCNJ16 mutations causing the predominant proximal tubule phenotype were linked to the pore-forming domain near the selectivity filter of the channel, whereas mutations causing the DCT phenotype were located in the N-or C-terminus [27]. This is reminiscent of the phenotypic variability that can be observed with mutations in the basolateral chloride channel ClC-Kb, which may cause a predominant Bartter or Gitelman phenotype [30].…”

“…For instance, there is no place for sodium restriction in patients with Fanconi syndrome [ 66 •]. Another example are patients with KCNJ16 mutations resulting in a novel tubulopathy with salt wasting [ 73 ]. Renal salt wasting may result from cystinosis, Dent disease, disorders of paracellular claudin-10b, and Kir4.1 potassium-channel deficiency [ 74 ].…”
