The present study was aimed at evaluating the role of D1- and D2-like receptors and investigating whether inhibition of Na+ transepithelial flux by dopamine is primarily dependent on inhibition of the apical Na+/H+ exchanger, inhibition of the basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase, or both. The data presented here show that opossum kidney cells are endowed with D1- and D2-like receptors, the activation of the former, but not the latter, accompanied by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (EC50 = 220 ± 2 nM), marked intracellular acidification (IC50 = 58 ± 2 nM), and attenuation of amphotericin B-induced decreases in short-circuit current (28.6 ± 4.5% reduction) without affecting intracellular pH recovery after CO2 removal. These results agree with the view that dopamine, through the activation of D1- but not D2-like receptors, inhibits both the Na+/H+ exchanger (0.001933 ± 0.000121 vs. 0.000887 ± 0.000073 pH unit/s) and Na+-K+-ATPase without interfering with the Na+-independent HCO[Formula: see text] transporter. It is concluded that dopamine, through the action of D1-like receptors, inhibits both the Na+/H+ exchanger and Na+-K+-ATPase, but its marked acidifying effects result from inhibition of the Na+/H+exchanger only, without interfering with the Na+-independent HCO[Formula: see text] transporter and Na+-K+-ATPase.

Exposure of various cells to hyposmotic media (Hypo) results in a rapid inhibition of both receptor-mediated and fluid-phase endocytosis. We used this maneuver to investigate the role of endocytosis in regulation of Pi transport in opossum kidney (OK) cells. Following exposure to Hypo, Na(+)-dependent Pi uptake increased rapidly, reaching a maximum within 5 min, and remained elevated up to 30 min. This was associated with a simultaneous reduction of horseradish peroxidase uptake. Kinetic studies showed increased apparent Vmax for Pi (9.38 +/- 0.93 vs. 13.08 +/- 1.04 nmol.mg-1.5 min-1 for control and Hypo, respectively; P < 0.05, n = 6) with no change in apparent Km. The effect was specific for Pi with no change in the Na(+)-dependent or -independent uptake of L-proline, L-glutamine, or methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside. Stimulation of Pi transport persisted when control and Hypo had identical ionic compositions. Stimulation of Pi transport was rapidly reversed when cells were returned to an isosmotic medium. Preincubation with Hypo at 4 degrees C had no effect on Pi transport. Addition of cycloheximide or actinomycin D did not prevent the increased Pi uptake after exposure to Hypo. The effect also persisted after protein kinase C downregulation. Stimulation of Pi transport by Hypo is consistent with reduced endocytic retrieval of Na(+)-Pi cotransporters from brush-border membrane (BBM), resulting in an increase in their number on the BBM.

Phosphorylation of the α-subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase plays an important role in the regulation of this pump. Recent studies suggest that insulin, known to increase solute and fluid reabsorption in mammalian proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), is stimulating Na+,K+-ATPase activity through the tyrosine phosphorylation process. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of the Na+,K+-ATPase α-subunit in the action of insulin. In rat PCT, insulin and orthovanadate (a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor) increased tyrosine phosphorylation level of the α-subunit more than twofold. Their effects were not additive, suggesting a common mechanism of action. Insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation was prevented by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The site of tyrosine phosphorylation was identified on Tyr-10 by controlled trypsinolysis in rat PCTs and by site-directed mutagenesis in opossum kidney cells transfected with rat α-subunit. The functional relevance of Tyr-10 phosphorylation was assessed by 1) the abolition of insulin-induced stimulation of the ouabain-sensitive86Rb uptake in opossum kidney cells expressing mutant rat α1-subunits wherein tyrosine was replaced by alanine or glutamine; and 2) the similarity of the time course and dose dependency of the insulin-induced increase in ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake and tyrosine phosphorylation. These findings indicate that phosphorylation of the Na+,K+-ATPase α-subunit at Tyr-10 likely participates in the physiological control of sodium reabsorption in PCT.

How angiotensin (ANG) II acutely stimulates the Na-K pump in proximal tubules is only partially understood, limiting insight into how ANG II increases blood pressure. First, we tested whether ANG II increases the number of pumps in plasma membranes of native rat proximal tubules under conditions of rapid activation. We found that exposure to 100 pM ANG II for 2 min, which was previously shown to increase affinity of the Na-K pump for Na and stimulate activity threefold, increased the amount of the Na-K pump in plasma membranes of native tubules by 33%. Second, we tested whether previously observed increases in phosphorylation of the Na-K pump at Ser938 were part of the stimulatory mechanism. These experiments were carried out in opossum kidney cells, cultured proximal tubules stably coexpressing the ANG type 1 (AT1) receptor, and either wild-type or a S938A mutant of rat kidney Na-K pump under conditions found by others to stimulate activity. We found that 10 min of incubation in 10 pM ANG II stimulated activity of wild-type pumps from 2.3 to 3.5 nmol K·mg protein−1·min−1 and increased the amount of the pump in the plasma membrane by 80% but had no effect on cells expressing the S938A mutant. We conclude that acute stimulation of Na-K pump activity in native rat proximal tubules includes increased trafficking to the plasma membrane and that phosphorylation at Ser938 is part of the mechanism by which ANG II directly stimulates activity and trafficking of the rat kidney Na-K pump in opossum kidney cells.

We have used brefeldin A (BFA) to examine the role of membrane traffic in the short-circuit current (ISC) and water permeability responses of the toad urinary bladder. BFA treatment of 1 or 5 micrograms/ml had a complex effect on the response of the ISC to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or forskolin stimulation. Although the responses to initial challenges by ADH were not impaired by BFA, subsequent ISC responses were progressively reduced. Similarly, while the response to an initial challenge by forskolin was modestly reduced by BFA, subsequent responses were markedly reduced. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide (CHM) affected ISC responses similarly. Neither BFA nor CHM had an effect on water permeability responses. These observations show that although the membrane traffic responsible for the water permeability response is insensitive to inhibition by BFA or CHM, the stimulation of Na+ transport becomes increasingly sensitive to these inhibitors with successive challenges by ADH or forskolin. Although initial increases in Na+ transport utilize preexisting components, subsequent responses appear to require an intact system for membrane biogenesis.
