Rescue of ER-retained V2R mutants by tolvaptan. (A) Maturation of WT, L86P, M272R and W323_I324insR-V2R after treatment with 1 μM tolvaptan for 16 h. Cells were lysed and analysed by immunoblotting using anti-GFP antibody. Tolvaptan was effective in ameliorating the glycosylation maturation of M272R mutants. (B) Representative pictures of M272R-V2R-GFP in polarized MDCK cells showed restoration of basolateral membrane expression of M272R after treatment with tolvaptan. (C) Generation of cAMP in MDCK cells stably expressing M272R variant treated with or without tolvaptan and following dDAVP stimulation. M272-expressing MDCK cells treated with tolvaptan showed significantly increased level of cAMP after stimulation with dDAVP. Values are means ± SEM (n = 4, *P < 0.05; one-way ANOVA).
