We assessed the effects of the peptide agonist, bradykinin (BK), and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, cyclooxygenase (COX) activity and mass, and arachidonic acid (AA) release in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. PMA stimulated PGE2 production by increasing both AA release and the activity of COX. Using [35S]methionine labeling and immunoprecipitation, we demonstrated that the increased COX activity is due to new COX synthesis. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide blocked the PMA-stimulated COX activity but not AA release. Both PMA-stimulated AA release and COX activity were reduced by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (STP). Glucocorticoids failed to alter PMA- or BK-stimulated PGE2 production was reduced by STP, indicating BK acts in part through protein kinase C activation. BK increased PGE2 production in PMA-treated cells, suggesting a protein kinase C-independent mechanism of action as well. BK did not stimulate any change in COX activity. We conclude that in MDCK cells PMA, but not BK, can stimulate both AA release and COX synthesis. Stimulation of COX synthesis requires either prolonged activation of protein kinase C and/or an additional nonprotein kinase C-mediated effect of PMA.

We have investigated the effects of inhibiting sphingomyelin (SM) biosynthesis on cellular diacylglycerol (DAG) content and protein kinase C (PKC) activation during growth initiation in Madin–Darby canine kidney cells. We utilized β-chloroalanine (BCA) to inactivate serine C-palmitoyltransferase, the first enzyme in the sphingolipid biosynthesis pathway. This inactivation prevented growth, but did not affect viability. When the inhibitor was replaced with fresh culture medium, the cells continued their proliferation in a normal way. BCA (2 mM) inhibited [32P]Pi, [3H]palmitic acid and [methyl-3H]choline incorporation into SM, but did not influence the synthesis of other major phospholipids. SM synthesis and DAG generation were decreased by 51% and 47.6% respectively. Particulate PKC activity was not observed in cells incubated with BCA, in contrast with a 5-fold increase in control cells. BCA inhibited 75% of the [3H]thymidine incorporation, and the cells were arrested before the S phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, exogenous d-erythrosphingosine restored SM synthesis, DAG generation and cell proliferation. These data indicate that the contribution of DAG generated during SM synthesis plays an important role in PKC activation and cell proliferation.

Recently, it was reported that muscarinic-type cholinergic receptors coupled to the phosphoinositide messenger system are present in the rabbit inner medullary collecting duct and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The receptor density in MDCK cells is 50 times more than that in inner medullary collecting duct cells. To examine if muscarinic receptor activation influences Na-K-ATPase, the effects of a cholinergic agonist, carbachol, on Na-K-ATPase activity in MDCK cells were measured. Carbachol inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. A maximum of approximately 80% of the enzyme activity was inhibited in 160 min with an EC50 of 5 microM carbachol. The inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity was reversible; up to 80% of the enzyme activity was recovered within 4 h after carbachol was removed. The inhibitory effect of carbachol was blocked by a muscarinic antagonist atropine and by inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methyl-piperazine HCl, and N-(2-(methylamino)ethyl)-5-isoquinoline sulfonamide HCl. Direct activators of PKC, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, N(n-heptyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide, and phosphatidyl serine, also inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity in MDCK cells, and their effect was also blocked by PKC inhibitors. These results indicate that cholinergic agonists inhibit Na-K-ATPase activity in MDCK cells by the activation of PKC. It is concluded that the inhibition of Na-K-ATPase by PKC may, in part, be responsible for the natriuretic action of cholinergic agonists, which have been shown to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis in renal collecting duct cells.

To investigate whether connexin phosphorylation regulates the known role of zonula occludens-1 protein (ZO-1) in gap junction (GJ) function, we generated and analyzed a series of phosphomimetic and phosphorylation-dead mutants by mutating known conserved regulatory serine (S) residues 255, 279/282, 365, 368, and 373 located in the C-terminal domain of connexin43 (Cx43) into glutamic acid (E) or alanine (A) residues. All connexin mutants were translated into stable, full-length proteins and assembled into GJs when expressed in HeLa or Madin–Darby canine kidney epithelial cells. However, mutants with S residues exchanged at positions 365, 368, and 373 exhibited a significantly altered ZO-1 interaction profile, while mutants with S residues exchanged at 255 and 279/282 did not. Unlike wild-type Cx43, in which ZO-1 binding is restricted to the periphery of GJ plaques, S365A, S365E, S368A, S368E, and S373A mutants bound ZO-1 throughout the GJ plaques, while the S373E mutant did not bind ZO-1 at all. Inability to disengage from ZO-1 correlated with increased GJ plaque size and increased connexin protein half-life, while maintaining GJ channels in an open, functional state. Quantitative clathrin-binding analyses revealed no significant alterations in clathrin-binding efficiency, suggesting that the inability to disengage from ZO-1 prevented maturation of functional into nonfunctional/endocytic channels, rather than ZO-1 interfering with GJ endocytosis directly. Collectively, our results indicate that ZO-1 binding regulates channel accrual, while disengagement from ZO-1 is critical for GJ channel closure and transitioning GJ channels for endocytosis. Intriguingly, these transitional ZO-1 binding/release and channel-aging steps are mediated by a series of hierarchical phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events at S373, S365, and S368, well-known Cx43 Akt, protein kinase A, and protein kinase C phosphorylation sites located in the vicinity of the ZO-1 binding site.

The role of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and phospholipase D (PLD) in the bradykinin (BK)-stimulated release of arachidonic acid (AA) was examined in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Release of AA, phosphorylcholine, choline, and phosphatidic acid (PA) or the transphosphatidylation product, phosphatidylethanol, was detected after 1 min of BK stimulation. A role for PC-PLC was confirmed with D609, which reduced BK-stimulated AA by 70%. Ethanol (EtOH), which blunts PA formation, diminished BK-stimulated AA release by 50%. Together, D609 and EtOH inhibited this release almost completely. Evidence indicated that diacylglycerol and PA can enhance PLA2 activity when added to cytosol extracts. The enzyme responsible for AA release was characterized as cPLA2, since PLA2 activity assayed in cell extracts was largely inhibited by an antibody to this enzyme. The membrane fraction PLA2 activity increased significantly in BK-stimulated cells. We conclude that BK signaling in MDCK cells is mediated by the lipid products of PC-PLC and PLD, increasing cPLA2 activity, possibly by causing perturbations in the bilayer structure of its substrate, by a direct effect on the enzyme or by activation of protein kinases such as protein kinase C.
