Epithelial Na Channel

A bovine homologue of the rat and human epithelial Na+ channel subunits, alpha-rENaC and alpha-hENaC, was cloned. The cDNA clone, termed alpha-bENaC, was isolated from a bovine renal papillary collecting duct cDNA expression library. The bovine cDNA is 3,584 base pairs (bp) long, has an open reading frame of 2,094 bp encoding a 697-amino acid protein, and is 75-85% homologous to its rat and human counterparts. In vitro translation of the transcribed cRNA yields an 80-kDa polypeptide and one at 92 kDa in the presence of pancreatic microsomes. The clone exhibits consensus sequences for N-linked glycosylation and for phosphorylation by protein kinase C, but not for protein kinase A. After expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes, a small amiloride-sensitive Na+ conductance that exhibited inward rectification and a reversal potential greater than +30 mV, consistent with the predicted equilibrium potential for Na+, was identified. The expressed alpha-bENaC-associated Na+ current was not responsive to elevations in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate but could be stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, an activator of protein kinase C. alpha-bENaC also formed amiloride-sensitive chimeric channels when coexpressed with the rat beta- and gamma-ENaC subunits in Xenopus oocytes. alpha-bENaC therefore represents a novel isoform of a growing family of epithelial Na+ channels.

Receptor-mediated signal transduction occurs through phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) breakdown and activation of adenylate cyclase interacting to regulate cell function. Current studies suggest that hormone-stimulated PIP2 breakdown modulates the classic cyclic AMP-mediated hydrosmotic action of vasopressin through separate mechanisms attributable to activation of protein kinase C, elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and generation of arachidonate metabolites.

Stimulation Of

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.

Protein Kinase C Zeta

A number of studies have demonstrated the activation of phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC-PLC) both by growth factors and by the product of the ras oncogene, p21ras. Evidence has been presented indicating that the stimulation of this phospholipid degradative pathway is sufficient to activate mitogenesis in fibroblasts as well as that it is sufficient and necessary for induction of maturation in Xenopus laevis oocytes. However, the mechanism whereby PC-PLC transduces mitogenic signals triggered by growth factors or oncogenes remains to be elucidated. In this study, data are presented that show the involvement of protein kinase C zeta subspecies in the channelling of the mitogenic signal activated by insulin-p21ras-PC-PLC in Xenopus oocytes as well as the lack of a critical role of protein kinase C isotypes alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon in these pathways.

Na Permeability

Na+ "self-inhibition" in tight epithelia describes the reduction in apical Na+ permeability observed with increasing luminal Na+ concentration. Patch clamp was used to examine regulation of self-inhibition at the level of single Na+ channels. After cell-attached patches (pipette solution, 129 mM NaCl) were obtained on amphibian distal nephron cells (A6), the 129 mM NaCl (high Na+) apical bath outside of the patch was replaced with 3 mM NaCl (low Na+). Within minutes there was an increase in open channel probability (Po) and the appearance of one to five "new" channels in patch membranes. A similar increase occurred when apical Na+ entry was blocked by luminal amiloride (10 microM). A23187 (1 microM), a calcium ionophore, added after low Na+ exchange, abolished the rise in channel activity. Increased Po and new channels, induced by either luminal Na+ or amiloride, were also reversed by either 4B-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 0.1 microM) or 1-oleyl-2-acetyl glycerol (OAG; 10 microM) over 15-30 min. 4 alpha-Phorbol (0.1 microM), an inactive phorbol, did not reduce channel activity. D-Sphingosine (100 microM), a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, increased Po and new channels. Conclusions: 1) modulation of apical Na+ permeability by luminal Na+ does not require direct interaction of Na+ with the channel protein but, rather, appears to involve an intracellular regulatory pathway, 2) relieving self-inhibition alters both the number and kinetics of single Na+ channels, 3) the effect of low Na+ must be modulated via decreased apical Na+ entry and intracellular Na+, since amiloride yielded similar results, 4) changes in intracellular Na+ probably affect Na+ channel activity via cytosolic Ca2+, 5) the effects of decreasing luminal Na+ are reversed by PKC activators and mimicked by PKC inhibitors suggesting a possible role for PKC in Na+ self-inhibition.

Steady State Inactivation

Inactivation of both brain and cardiac Na+ channels is modulated by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) but in different ways. Previous experiments had shown that phosphorylation of serine 1506 in the highly conserved loop connecting homologous domains III and IV (LIII/IV) of the brain Na+ channel alpha subunit is necessary for all effects of PKC. Here we examine the importance of the analogous serine for the different modulation of the rH1 cardiac Na+ channel. Serine 1505 of rH1 was mutated to alanine to prevent its phosphorylation, and the resulting mutant channel was expressed in 1610 cells. Electrophysiological properties of these mutant channels were indistinguishable from those of wild-type (WT) rH1 channels. Activation of PKC with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) reduced WT Na+ current by 49.3 +/- 4.2% (P < 0.01) but S1505A mutant current was reduced by only 8.5 +/- 5.4% (P = 0.29) when the holding potential was -94 mV. PKC activation also caused a -17-mV shift in the voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation of the WT channel which was abolished in the mutant. Thus, phosphorylation of serine 1505 is required for both the negative shift in the inactivation curve and the reduction in Na+ current by PKC. Phosphorylation of S1505/1506 has common and divergent effects in brain and cardiac Na+ channels. In both brain and cardiac Na+ channels, phosphorylation of this site by PKC is required for reduction of peak Na+ current. However, phosphorylation of S1506 in brain Na+ channels slows and destabilizes inactivation of the open channel. Phosphorylation of S1505 in cardiac, but not S1506 in brain, Na+ channels causes a negative shift in the inactivation curve, indicating that it stabilizes inactivation from closed states. Since LIII/IV containing S1505/S1506 is completely conserved, interaction of the phosphorylated serine with other regions of the channel must differ in the two channel types.

To clarify the role of the PGI2/PGI2 receptor (IP) system in rabbit cortical collecting duct (RCCD), we characterized the expression of IP receptors in the rabbit kidney. We show by Northern and Western blotting that IP mRNA and protein was detectable in all three regions of the kidney. To determine how PGI2 signals, we compared the effects of different PGI2 analogs [iloprost (ILP), carba-prostacyclin (c-PGI2), and cicaprost (CCP)] in the isolated perfused RCCD. PGI2 analogs did not increase water flow ( L p). Although PGI2 analogs did not reduce an established L p response to 8-chlorophenylthio-cAMP, they equipotently inhibited AVP-stimulated L p by 45%. The inhibitory effect of ILP and c-PGI2 on AVP-stimulated L p is partially reversed by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine and abolished by pertussis toxin; no effect was obtained with CCP. In fura 2-loaded RCCD, CCP did not alter cytosolic Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i), but, in the presence of CCP, individual infusion of ILP and PGE2 increased [Ca2+]i, suggesting that CCP did not cause desensitization to either ILP or PGE2. We concluded that ILP and c-PGI2 activate PKC and the liberation of [Ca2+]i but not CCP. This suggested an important role for phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in mediating ILP and c-PGI2 effects but not CCP in RCCD.
