Previous data suggest that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and bradykinin (BK) interact to increase Na+ and water excretion. We propose that this interaction is due to a synergistic action that inhibits Na+ absorption in the distal nephron. We examined the effects of BK and ANF on transport by monolayers of a cortical collecting duct cell line, M-1. BK (10(-8) M) had no effect on short-circuit current (Isc). Similarly, ANF (10(-8) M) did not inhibit Isc. In contrast, Isc decreased by 18% (from 57 +/- 8 to 46 +/- 6 microA/cm2) when BK and ANF were added simultaneously at this concentration (P less than 0.05). Because guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and protein kinase C are implicated in the second messenger cascades of ANF and BK, we investigated their potential roles in mediating this interaction. Dibutyryl-cGMP (10(-4) M) inhibited Isc from 33 +/- 4 to 22 +/- 3 microA/cm2 (P less than 0.05) in the presence of BK but not in its absence. Staurosporine and calphostin C, inhibitors of protein kinase C, completely blocked the decrease in Isccaused by simultaneous addition of ANF and BK. cAMP levels in M-1 cells were not affected by either ANF alone or BK alone; however, when cultures were treated with both hormones, cAMP decreased from 856 +/- 56 to 332 +/- 26 fmol/10(6) cells (P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract. This study examines whether serine proteases can activate the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (ENaC) in mammalian kidney epithelial cells. The transepithelial sodium transport assessed by amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current appears to be sensitive to aprotinin, a protease inhibitor in a mouse cortical collecting duct cell line (mpkCCDc14). This result indicated that serine proteases may be implicated in the regulation of ENaC-mediated sodium transport. Using degenerated oligonucleotides to a previously isolated serine protease from Xenopus, xCAP1 (channel activating protease), a novel full-length serine protease (mCAP1), has been isolated and characterized. RNA analysis showed a broad pattern of expression in tissues (kidney, lung, colon, and salivary glands) expressing ENaC. Reverse transcription-PCR experiments also showed that mCAP1 was abundantly expressed in proximal tubule cells and was also expressed in intact and cultured collecting duct cells. Coexpression of the Xenopus, rat, or human α-, β-, and γ-ENaC subunits in Xenopus oocytes also showed that mCAP1 induces a significant increase in ENaC-mediated current accompanied by a decrease of channel molecules at the cell surface. It is proposed that this novel mouse channel activating protease may act as a regulator of ENaC within the kidney.

Abstract. The regulation of plasma membrane Na+-K+-ATPases (NKA) expression by aldosterone and arginin vasopressin (AVP) in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) has been examined in a new rat CCD cell line, designated as RCCD2. This cell line has maintained many characteristics of the CCD—in particular, the expression of the mineralocorticoid receptor. Mineralocorticoid receptor is expressed at the protein level and binds3H-aldosterone (approximately 15 to 20 fmol/mg protein). Short-circuit current (Isc) experiments showed approximately a twofold increase in Isc associated with a decrease in transepithelial resistance when cells were treated with aldosterone concentrations as low as 10-9M. This effect on Isc was significant 2 h after aldosterone addition and was still present after 24 h. It was accompanied by an increase in the amount of mRNA encoding for the α subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (sixfold) and the α1 subunit of NKA (fourfold) after 24 h of hormone treatment. In addition, mRNA expression of the serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase (Sgk) was increased by 10-9M aldosterone treatment as early as 45 min after hormone addition. As had already been documented in native CCD obtained by microdissection, incubation of RCCD2cells for 24 h with aldosterone resulted in the constitution of a latent pool of NKA that could be rapidly recruited by AVP (15 min). NKA biotinylation experiments and preparation of membrane fractions show that this latent pool of NKA is present in the intracellular compartment of the cells and is recruited by AVP in the basolateral membrane through a translocation process. This mechanism is accompanied by dephosphorylation of the α1catalytic subunit of NKA.

Activation of PRR ([pro]renin receptor) contributes to enhancement of intrarenal RAS and renal medullary α-ENaC and thus elevated blood pressure during Ang II (angiotensin II) infusion. The goal of the present study was to test whether such action of PRR was mediated by sPRR (soluble PRR), generated by S1P (site-1 protease), a newly identified PRR cleavage protease. F1 B6129SF1/J mice were infused for 6 days with control or Ang II at 300 ng/kg per day alone or in combination with S1P inhibitor PF-429242 (PF), and blood pressure was monitored by radiotelemetry. S1P inhibition significantly attenuated Ang II–induced hypertension accompanied with suppressed urinary and renal medullary renin levels and expression of renal medullary but not renal cortical α-ENaC expression. The effects of S1P inhibition were all reversed by supplement with histidine-tagged sPRR termed as sPRR-His. Ussing chamber technique was performed to determine amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current, an index of ENaC activity in confluent mouse cortical collecting duct cell line cells exposed for 24 hours to Ang II, Ang II + PF, or Ang II + PF + sPRR-His. Ang II–induced ENaC activity was blocked by PF, which was reversed by sPRR-His. Together, these results support that S1P-derived sPRR mediates Ang II–induced hypertension through enhancement of intrarenal renin level and activation of ENaC.

We examined the possibility that the protein kinase C pathway may interact with the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) pathway in intestinal epithelium by studying the influence of phorbol esters on the response to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in a colonic epithelial cell line. Pretreatment of T84 cells with 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) markedly attenuated the rise in short-circuit current provoked by PGE2, a receptor-mediated cAMP agonist. The EC50 of this effect was 52 nM PDB with a half time of 4-6 min. The responses to nonreceptor-mediated agonists, forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP, were unaffected by phorbol ester. PDB also reduced the ability of PGE2 to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity in these cells. The accumulation of cAMP in response to PGE2 was inhibited by PDB (EC50 38 nM), an effect mimicked by the diacylglycerol analogue 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. In addition, PGE2 stimulation of adenylate cyclase in membranes from PDB-treated cells was reduced by 30-40%. Inhibition was not mediated via the catalytic or regulatory subunit of the adenylate cyclase, implying an action involving desensitization of PGE2 receptors. These results provide evidence of a complex interrelationship between protein kinase C- and cAMP-mediated pathways that might be important in regulating the cellular response to secretagogues.

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.

We have used an established cell line of rabbit cortical collecting duct (RCCD) epithelial cells representing a mixed population of principal and intercalated cell types to determine which phospholipase A2(PLA2) enzyme therein is responsible for bradykinin (BK)-stimulated arachidonic acid (AA) release and how its activation is regulated. BK-stimulated AA release was reduced 92% by arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone, an inhibitor of cytosolic PLA2(cPLA2). Examination of PLA2 activity in vitro demonstrated that BK stimulation resulted in a greater than twofold increase in PLA2 activity and that this activity was dithiothreitol insensitive and was inhibited by an antibody directed against cPLA2. To determine a possible role for protein kinase C (PKC) in the BK-mediated activation of cPLA2, we used the PKC-specific inhibitor Ro31-8220 and examined its effects on AA release, cPLA2 activity, and phosphorylation. Ro31-8220 reduced BK-stimulated AA release and cPLA2 activity by 51 and 58%, respectively. cPLA2 activity stimulated by phorbol ester [phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)] displayed a similar degree of activation and was associated with an increase in serine phosphorylation identical to that caused by BK. The phosphorylation-induced activation of this enzyme was confirmed by the phosphatase-mediated reversal of both BK- and PMA-stimulated cPLA2 activity. In addition, we have also found that PMA stimulation did not cause a synergistic potentiation of BK-stimulated AA release as did calcium ionophore. This occurred despite membrane PKC activity increasing 93% in response to PMA vs. 42% in response to BK. These data, taken together, indicate that cPLA2 is the enzyme responsible for BK-mediated AA release, and, moreover, they indicate that PKC is involved in the onset responses of cPLA2 to BK.

ABSTRACT The diarrheal mechanisms in Aeromonas enteritis are not completely understood. In this study we investigated the effect of aeromonads and of their secretory products on ion secretion and barrier function of monolayers of human intestinal cells (HT-29/B6). Ion secretion was determined as a short-circuit current (ISC) of HT-29/B6 monolayers mounted in Ussing-type chambers. Transepithelial resistance (Rt) served as a measure of permeability. A diarrheal strain of Aeromonas hydrophila (strain Sb) added to the mucosal side of HT-29/B6 monolayers induced a significant ISC (39 ± 3 μA/cm2) and decreased the Rt to ∼10% of the initial value. A qualitatively identical response was obtained with sterile supernatant of strain Sb, and Aeromonas supernatant also induced a significant ISC in totally stripped human colon. Tracer flux and ion replacement studies revealed the ISC to be mainly accounted for by electrogenic Cl− secretion. Supernatant applied serosally completely abolished basal ISC. The supernatant-induced ISC was inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine, whereas a protein kinase A inhibitor (H8) and a Ca2+ chelator (BAPTA-AM) had no effect. Physicochemical properties indicated that the supernatant's active compound was an aerolysin-related Aeromonas beta-hemolysin. Accordingly, identical ISC and Rt responses were obtained with Escherichia coli lysates harboring the cloned beta-hemolysin gene from strain SB or the aerA gene encoding for aerolysin. Sequence comparison revealed a 64% homology between aerolysin and the beta-hemolysin cloned from Aeromonas sp. strain Sb. In conclusion, beta-hemolysin secreted by pathogenic aeromonads induces active Cl− secretion in the intestinal epithelium, possibly by channel insertion into the apical membrane and by activation of protein kinase C.

We investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in mediating carbachol's stimulation of transepithelial Cl- secretion in T84 cells. Direct PKC activation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulated transepithelial Cl- transport (measured as the short-circuit current), demonstrating that PKC could interact with the secretory apparatus. Carbachol stimulated PKC activity, suggesting that the enzyme might participate in the hormone's action. Diacylglycerol metabolism inhibitors (DMIs), known to augment hormone-stimulated increases in diacylglycerol levels, potentiated the short-circuit current response to carbachol. The effect of DMIs was not due to amplification of carbachol-induced increases in PKC activity, however; PKC activity during carbachol stimulation was no higher in the presence of DMIs than in their absence. Augmentation of carbachol's action by DMIs appeared to be due to the direct activation of PKC which, like PMA, stimulated the Cl- conductance of the apical membrane (GCl). The effects of DMIs and carbachol on GCl were additive. Carbachol itself stimulated GCl but not by activating PKC; staurosporine did not blunt the effect of carbachol on GCl. Nor did staurosporine reduce the effect of carbachol on transepithelial Cl- secretion. These observations demonstrate that PKC does not participate in the secretory action of carbachol in T84 cells and suggest that direct PKC activation with DMIs and PMA stimulates an apical pool of PKC that is not accessible to carbachol applied to the basolateral membrane.

The effects of stimulating protein kinase C on Cl- secretion across dog tracheal epithelium were investigated. The phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and the synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleolyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), which stimulate protein kinase C (PKC), both stimulated short-circuit current (Isc) with Kd of 10 nM and 1 microM, respectively. In Cl(-)-free solution, the increases in Isc were virtually abolished, suggesting that these compounds stimulate Cl- secretion, a hypothesis confirmed for TPA by measurement of 36Cl- fluxes. The stimulations of Cl- secretion were not sensitive to indomethacin, nor were cAMP levels elevated during stimulation. In addition to its transient stimulatory effect, TPA at high doses caused the eventual lowering of the base-line Isc and a block of subsequent stimulation by cAMP-mediated agonists. This was probably not the result of toxicity or an effect on adenylate cyclase or on cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Cell extracts from both cultured and native dog tracheal epithelial cells showed strong PKC activities. These results suggest that PKC may play a role in regulating Cl- secretion across dog tracheal epithelium.
