Core Tip	Aquaporin (AQP)-2 is mainly expressed in the kidneys, although it has been detected in the distal colon. We confirmed its expression in the distal colon and its upregulation in cirrhotic rats with ascites. Tolvaptan is a highly potent and selective AQP-2 antagonist and is used to treat cirrhotic ascites and hyponatremia. It blocked AQP-2 expression in the distal colon after oral administration, and temporarily increased fecal water content. Fecal water content returned to baseline quickly. The results suggest that tolvaptan inhibited AQP-2 expression in the distal colon and may induce diarrhea to clear water.
