Urinary acidification in the collecting duct is mediated by the activity of H+-ATPases and is stimulated by various factors including angiotensin II and aldosterone. Classically, aldosterone effects are mediated via the mineralocorticoid receptor. Recently, we demonstrated a nongenomic stimulatory effect of aldosterone on H+-ATPase activity in acid-secretory intercalated cells of isolated mouse outer medullary collecting ducts (OMCD). Here we investigated the intracellular signaling cascade mediating this stimulatory effect. Aldosterone stimulated H+-ATPase activity in isolated mouse and human OMCDs. This effect was blocked by suramin, a general G protein inhibitor, and GP-2A, a specific Gαq inhibitor, whereas pertussis toxin was without effect. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U-73122, chelation of intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA, and blockade of protein kinase C prevented the stimulation of H+-ATPases. Stimulation of PKC by DOG mimicked the effect of aldosterone on H+-ATPase activity. Similarly, aldosterone and DOG induced a rapid translocation of H+-ATPases to the luminal side of OMCD cells in vivo. In addition, PD098059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2 activation, blocked the aldosterone and DOG effects. Inhibition of PKA with H89 or KT2750 prevented and incubation with 8-bromoadenosine-cAMP mildly increased H+-ATPase activity. Thus, the nongenomic modulation of H+-ATPase activity in OMCD-intercalated cells by aldosterone involves several intracellular pathways and may be mediated by a Gαq protein-coupled receptor and PKC. PKA and cAMP appear to have a modulatory effect. The rapid nongenomic action of aldosterone may participate in the regulation of H+-ATPase activity and contribute to final urinary acidification.

Previous work from this laboratory has identified an endothelin (ET) type A (ETA) receptor on cultured rat renal medullary interstitial cells (RMIC), coupled to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), dihydropyridine-insensitive receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, and phospholipase A2. The current studies explored a role for ET stimulation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PC-PLD) in intracellular signaling of this cell type. ET stimulated PLD activation, as measured by phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylethanol (PEt) accumulation, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase by ethylene glycol dioctanoate or 6-(2)4-[(4-fluorophenyl)-phenylmethylene]-1-piperadinyl]ethy l-7-methyl-5H - thiaxolo-[3,2-alpyrimidin]-5-one (R 59022) failed to blunt PA accumulation, indicating that PLD, and not DAG, was the source of PA. Inhibition of PA phosphohydrolase (PAP) by propranolol increased late accumulation of PA, suggesting that the prevailing metabolic flow was in the direction of PA to DAG. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) augmented ET-evoked PEt accumulation, whereas downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) obviated agonist-induced PEt production. PMA augmentation of PLD activity proceeded independent of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. Ca2+ derived from either intracellular or extracellular sources enhanced ET-related PEt accumulation but was without effect in PKC-downregulated cells. Collectively, these observations indicate that ET stimulates PLD production in RMIC. PKC is the major regulator of this process, with Ca2+ playing a secondary, modulatory role. In addition, these data suggest that PC-PLD is coupled to the ETA receptor.

Incubation with endothelin (Endo) caused a time- and concentration-dependent increase in both ouabain-sensitive (OS) and ouabain-insensitive (OI) 86Rb+ uptake [half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) for OS component = 11 nM] in the rabbit aorta. Increase in the OS component [Na(+)-K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity] accounted for 70% of the 110% increase in total 86Rb+ uptake at a maximally effective concentration of Endo (100 nM). Protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBU; 100 nM) increased total 86Rb+ uptake by 69%, with 42% of the increase in the OS component. Stimulation by Endo and PDBU was not additive. Staurosporine (STA; 100 nM) inhibited stimulation of total 86Rb+ uptake by Endo and PDBU by approximately 60%. With ouabain and STA added together, inhibition of Endo-stimulated total 86Rb+ uptake (90%) was greater than with either agent alone, suggesting that STA inhibits an OS as well as an OI component of 86Rb+ uptake. Stimulation of total 86Rb+ uptake by both Endo and PDBU were also inhibited by approximately 60% by the Na(+)-H+ exchange inhibitor 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA). Endo-stimulated total 86Rb+ uptake was not further inhibited when ouabain was added together with EIPA, suggesting that Na(+)-H+ exchange is primarily linked to the OS component of 86Rb+ uptake. In contrast, Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport inhibitor bumetanide inhibited increases in total 86Rb+ uptake caused by Endo (30%) and PDBU (56%) due solely to its effects on OI 86Rb+ uptake. Results suggest that Endo stimulates Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in rabbit aorta by activating PKC and Na(+)-H+ exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Localization of protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes α, βI, βII, δ, and ε was studied employing Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical methods including confocal laser-scanning microscopy in the kidney of two mice strains, namely, C57BL/6 and 129/Sv, which have recently been used as genetic backgrounds for respective knockout mice. Immunoblot analysis identified immunoreactive bands for each isoenzyme in total kidney cell extracts. Isoenzyme expression sites were identical for both strains. Glomeruli expressed PKC-α, -βI, and -ε. The latter isoenzme was also detected in apical aspects of proximal convoluted but not in proximal straight tubules. In contrast to rats, neither PKC-α nor PKC-βI was detectable in the proximal tubule. Immunofluorescence was observed in luminal membranes of medullary (MTAL) and cortical thick ascending limbs for PKC-βI and in MTAL for PKC-ε. The cortical collecting duct expressed PKC-α, -βI, and -δ in intercalated cells only. In the outer medullary collecting duct, PKC-α and -βI were detectable in principal cells, whereas PKC-δ was found in intercalated cells. In the inner medullary collecting duct, PKC-α, -βI, and -βII were detected. As described for the rat, the expression of PKC-βII was otherwise restricted to cortical and medullary interstitial cells. The specificity of all labeling was confirmed in respective PKC isoenzyme knockout mice. In summary, distinct expression patterns were shown for PKC isoenzymes α, βI, βII, δ, and ε in the mouse kidney.

ABSTRACT The effect of protein kinase C activation and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on oxytocin secretion by ovine luteal tissue slices was investigated. Several putative regulators of luteal oxytocin secretion were also examined. Oxytocin was secreted by luteal tissue slices at a basal rate of 234·4 ± 32·8 pmol/g per h (n = 24) during 60-min incubations.Activators of protein kinase C: phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (n = 8), phorbol 12-myristate,13-acetate (n = 4) and 1,2-didecanoylglycerol (n = 5), caused a dose-dependent stimulation of oxytocin secretion in the presence of a calcium ionophore (A23187; 0·2 μmol/l). Phospholipase C (PLC; 50–250 units/l) also caused a dose-dependent stimulation of oxytocin secretion by luteal slices. Phospholipase C-stimulated oxytocin secretion was potentiated by the addition of an inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinase (R59 022; n = 4). These data suggest that the activation of protein kinase C has a role in the stimulation of luteal oxytocin secretion. The results are also consistent with the involvement of protein kinase C in PLC-stimulated oxytocin secretion. The cyclic AMP second messenger system does not appear to be involved in the control of oxytocin secretion by the corpus luteum. Journal of Endocrinology (1990) 124, 225–232

The effect of elevating cytoplasmic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) on the intracellular pH (pHi) of thymic lymphocytes was investigated. In Na+-containing media, treatment of the cells with ionomycin, a divalent cation ionophore, induced a moderate cytoplasmic alkalinization. In the presence of amiloride or in Na+-free media, an acidification was observed. This acidification is at least partly due to H+ (equivalent) uptake in response to membrane hyperpolarization since: it was enhanced by pretreatment with conductive protonophores, it could be mimicked by valinomycin, and it was decreased by depolarization with K+ or gramicidin. In addition, activation of metabolic H+ production also contributes to the acidification. The alkalinization is due to Na+/H+ exchange inasmuch as it is Na+ dependent, amiloride sensitive, and accompanied by H+ efflux and net Na+ gain. A shift in the pHi dependence underlies the activation of the antiport. The effect of [Ca2+]i on Na+/H+ exchange was not associated with redistribution of protein kinase C and was also observed in cells previously depleted of this enzyme. Treatment with ionomycin induced significant cell shrinking. Prevention of shrinking largely eliminated the activation of the antiport. Moreover, a comparable shrinking produced by hypertonic media also activated the antiport. It is concluded that stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange by elevation of [Ca2+]i is due, at least in part, to cell shrinking and does not require stimulation of protein kinase C.
