Both arginine vasopressin (AVP) and forskolin regulate vectorial Na+ transport across high-resistance epithelia by increasing the Na+ conductance of the apical membrane mediated by amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels. Pretreatment of A6 cells with brefeldin A partially inhibited the increase in Na+ transport in response to forskolin, suggesting recruitment of Na+ channels from an intracellular pool. The activation of Cl- secretion was not affected. Apical cell surface expression of Na+ channels was examined following activation of transepithelial Na+ transport across the epithelial cell line A6 by AVP or forskolin. Apical cell surface radioiodinated Na+ channels were immunoprecipitated to quantify the biochemical pool of Na+ channels at the apical plasma membrane and to determine whether an increment in the biochemical pool of Na+ channels expressed at the apical cell surface is a potential mechanism by which AVP and forskolin increase apical membrane Na+ conductance. The activation of Na+ transport across A6 cells by AVP was accompanied by a significant increase in the biochemical pool of Na+ channels at the apical plasma membrane within 5 min after addition of hormone, which was sustained for at least 30 min. The increase in apical cell surface expression of Na+ channels was also observed 30 min after application of forskolin. No changes in the oligomeric subunit composition of the channel were noted. Brefeldin A inhibited the forskolin-stimulated increase in apical cell surface expression of Na+ channels. These results suggest that AVP and forskolin regulate Na+ transport, in part, via rapid recruitment of Na+ channels to the cell surface, perhaps from a pool of channels in the subapical cytoplasm.

The renal epithelial cell line A6, derived from Xenopus laevis, expresses epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) and serves as a model system to study hormonal regulation and turnover of ENaCs. Our previous studies suggest that the α-subunit of Xenopus ENaC (α- xENaC) is detectable as 150- and 180-kDa polypeptides, putative immature and mature α-subunit heterodimers. The 150- and 180-kDa α- xENaC were present in distinct fractions after sedimentation of A6 cell lysate through a sucrose density gradient. Two anti-α- xENaC antibodies directed against distinct domains demonstrated that only 180-kDa α- xENaC was expressed at the apical cell surface. The half-life of cell surface-expressed α- xENaC was 24–30 h, suggesting that once ENaC matures and is expressed at the plasma membrane, its turnover is similar to that reported for mature cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. No significant changes in apical surface expression of α- xENaC were observed after treatment of A6 cells with aldosterone for 24 h, despite a 5.3-fold increase in short-circuit current. This lack of change in surface expression is consistent with previous observations in A6 cells and suggests that aldosterone regulates ENaC gating and increases channel open probability.

In metastatic B16a murine melanoma cells, alpha IIb beta 3 integrin was shown to be one of the key adhesion molecules responsible for matrix adhesion and spreading. Upon stimulation, alpha IIb beta 3 can be upregulated at the cell surface due to translocation of the receptor to the plasma membrane from an intracellular pool. Here we have characterized this integrin pool as a tubulovesicular structure (TVS) corresponding to endosomes. TVS was found to be associated temporarily with microtubules and intermediate filaments especially after protein kinase C (PKC) stimulation with a lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, 12-(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12-(S)-HETE]. After PKC stimulation, the predominantly vesicular TVS became elongated and alpha IIb beta 3 appeared at the apical plasma membrane and microvilli. Disruption of either the microtubules or intermediate filaments prevented the 12-(S)-HETE effect both on vesicular to tubular transition of TVS as well as on surface expression of this integrin. The connection with the Golgi system of the integrin-containing TVS was proved by a Golgi-inhibitor (brefeldin A) pretreatment, which prevented the PKC-stimulation-induced TVS elongation and subsequent receptor-upregulation at the cell surface. After a soluble ligand binding (mAb to the alpha IIb beta 3 complex) the surface receptor endocytosed back to the TVS indicating the presence of a dynamic, cytoskeleton associated integrin pool in melanoma cells.

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) stimulates the transport of Na+ and Na,K-ATPase activity in the renal cortical collecting duct (CCD). The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism whereby cAMP stimulates the Na,K-ATPase activity in microdissected rat CCDs and cultured mouse mpkCCDc14 collecting duct cells. db-cAMP (10−3 M) stimulated by 2-fold the activity of Na,K-ATPase from rat CCDs as well as the ouabain-sensitive component of 86Rb+ uptake by rat CCDs (1.7-fold) and cultured mouse CCD cells (1.5-fold). Pretreatment of rat CCDs with saponin increased the total Na,K-ATPase activity without further stimulation by db-cAMP. Western blotting performed after a biotinylation procedure revealed that db-cAMP increased the amount of Na,K-ATPase at the cell surface in both intact rat CCDs (1.7-fold) and cultured cells (1.3-fold), and that this increase was not related to changes in Na,K-ATPase internalization. Brefeldin A and low temperature (20°C) prevented both the db-cAMP-dependent increase in cell surface expression and activity of Na,K-ATPase in both intact rat CCDs and cultured cells. Pretreatment with the intracellular Ca2+chelator bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid also blunted the increment in cell surface expression and activity of Na,K-ATPase caused by db-cAMP. In conclusion, these results strongly suggest that the cAMP-dependent stimulation of Na,K-ATPase activity in CCD results from the translocation of active pump units from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane.

A cDNA for the rabbit low Mr polymeric immunoglobulin (poly-Ig) receptor was expressed in an immortalized rabbit mammary cell line. The intracellular routing of the receptor and its cell surface expression was analyzed in stably transfected cells grown on permeable supports. Initially the cells formed a monolayer with no transmural electrical resistance. All monolayer cells expressed the poly-Ig receptor and cytokeratin 7 filaments characteristic of luminal mammary cells but absent in myoepithelial cells. Within 7 d in culture, the cells underwent cytodifferentiation and formed a bilayer with a transepithelial electrical resistance of approximately 500 omega x cm2. Upper layer cells formed tight junctions with adjacent cells and gap junctions with basal cells. Expression of the poly-Ig receptor and cytokeratin 7 was restricted to the cells from the upper layer. The kinetics of receptor biosynthesis and processing was similar to that reported for rabbit mammary gland and rat liver. The receptor was cleaved at the apical cell surface and release of secretory component into the apical medium occurred with a half-time of approximately 2 h. Selective cell surface trypsinization combined with pulse-chase experiments served to determine at which cell surface domain newly synthesized receptor appeared first. The receptor was digested with a half-time of approximately 60 min with trypsin present in the basolateral medium and 90 min with apical trypsin. These data are consistent with selective targeting of newly synthesized receptor to the basolateral surface. The results indicate that transcytosis of the receptor from basolateral to apical membrane in the presence or the absence of its ligand requires approximately 30 min. Cleavage of the receptor by endogenous protease is not concomitant with its appearance at the apical surface, but requires additional time, thus explaining the presence of intact receptor on the apical membrane.

ABSTRACT The biosynthesis and posttranslational processing of human metapneumovirus attachment G glycoprotein were investigated. After pulse-labeling, the G protein accumulated as three species with molecular weights of 45,000, 50,000, and 53,000 (45K, 50K, and 53K, respectively). N-Glycosidase digestion indicated that these forms represent the unglycosylated precursor and N-glycosylated intermediate products, respectively. After an appropriate chase, these three naive forms were further processed to a mature 97K form. The presence of O-linked sugars in mature G protein was confirmed by O-glycanase digestion and lectin-binding assay using Arachis hypogaea (peanut agglutinin), an O-glycan-specific lectin. In addition, in the O-glycosylation-deficient cell line (CHO ldlD cell), the G protein could not be processed to the mature form unless the exogenous Gal and GalNAc were supplemented, which provided added evidence supporting the O-linked glycosylation of G protein. The maturation of G was completely blocked by monensin but was partially sensitive to brefeldin A (BFA), suggesting the O-linked glycosylation of G initiated in the trans-Golgi compartment and terminated in the trans-Golgi network. Enzymatic deglycosylation analysis confirmed that the BFA-G was a partial mature form containing N-linked oligosaccharides and various amounts of O-linked carbohydrate side chains. The expression of G protein at the cell surface could be detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining assay. Furthermore, cell surface immunoprecipitation displayed an efficient intracellular transport of G protein.

Background/Aims: Expression of the transcriptional co-regulator tis7 is markedly increased in the adaptive small intestine in a mouse model of short bowel syndrome. Transgenic mice with enterocytic overexpression of tis7 (tis7tg) have accelerated triglyceride absorption, with increased adiposity yet reduced skeletal muscle mass. To further explore this phenotype, we examined whether tis7 also regulates amino acid and carbohydrate absorption. Methods: Small intestinal glucose and amino acid uptake were quantified in wild type (WT) and tis7tg mice. Amino acid transporter expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and immunoblot. Apical cell surface transporter expression was quantified by cell surface biotinylation. Results: Active glucose uptake rates were unchanged. Uptake of proline but not leucine was significantly reduced in tis7tg vs. WT jejunum. Expression of serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1), a solute carrier activator, was inhibited in tis7tg jejunum. Apical membrane expression of the proline transporter SLC6A20 was reduced in tis7tg jejunum. Conclusions: Tis7 overexpression in enterocytes inhibits proline uptake, associated with decreased expression of activated SGK1 and reduced cell surface expression of SLC6A20. Consistent with the observed tis7tg phenotype, tis7 overexpression increases triglyceride absorption but has adverse effects on the uptake of selected amino acids. Tis7 has pleiotropic effects on nutrient absorption.
