Angiotensin II (ANG II) subtype 2 (AT2) receptors are expressed in the adult kidney, but the effects of AT2 receptor activation are unclear. The proximal tubule cell line LLC-PK1 was transfected with a plasmid containing cDNA for the rat AT2 receptor. In transfected cells, specific binding of 125I-labeled ANG II was detected (dissociation constant = 0.81 nM), with inhibition by the AT2 antagonist PD-123319, and no effect of the AT1 antagonist losartan. ANG II (10−7 M) significantly inhibited mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity in transfected cells, associated with decreased phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-related kinases ERK1 and ERK2. ANG II stimulated phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity within 5 min, an effect blocked by PD-123319 and the phosphatase inhibitor vanadate. In transfected cells, ANG II inhibited epidermal growth factor-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation, an effect reversed by vanadate. In contrast, vanadate did not block ANG II-stimulated apoptosis of transfected cells. In summary, AT2 receptors in proximal tubule cells inhibit MAPK activity and stimulate phosphotyrosine phosphatase. AT2receptor-induced inhibition of mitogenesis is mediated by phosphatase activation, whereas effects on apoptosis are insensitive to phosphatase inhibition. The data suggest that AT2 receptors inhibit cell growth via distinct signaling pathways in the proximal tubule.

Angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors are present on apical and basolateral surfaces of proximal tubule cells. To determine the cellular mechanisms of proximal tubule ANG II receptor-mediated Na transport, apical-to-basolateral 22Na flux was measured in cultured proximal tubule cells. Apical ANG II caused increases in 22Na flux (maximum response: 100 nM, 30 min). Basolateral ANG II resulted in 22Na flux that was 23-56% greater than 22Na flux observed with equimolar apical ANG II. Apical ANG II-induced 22Na flux was prevented by preincubation with amiloride, ouabain, and the AT1 receptor antagonist losartan. Because apical ANG II signaling was previously shown to be endocytosis dependent, we questioned whether endocytosis was required for ANG II-stimulated proximal tubule Na transport as well. Apical (but not basolateral) ANG II-dependent 22Na flux was inhibited by phenylarsine oxide, an agent which prevents ANG II receptor internalization. In conclusion, apical and basolateral ANG II caused proximal tubule Na transport. Apical ANG II-dependent Na flux was mediated by AT1 receptors, transcellular transport pathways, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Angiotensin II (ANG II), acting through angiotensin type 1A receptors (AT1A), is important in regulating proximal tubule salt and water balance. AT1A are present on apical (AP) and basolateral (BL) surfaces of proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTEC). The molecular mechanism of AT1A function in epithelial tissue is not well understood, because specific binding of ANG II to intact PTEC has not been found and because a number of isoforms of AT receptors are present in vivo. To overcome this problem, we developed a cell line from opossum kidney (OK) proximal tubule cells, which stably express AT1A( K d = 5.27 nM, Bmax = 6.02 pmol/mg protein). Characterization of nontransfected OK cells revealed no evidence of AT1A mRNA (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis) or protein (125I-labeled ANG II binding studies) expression. In cells stably expressing AT1A, ANG II binding was saturable, reversible, and regulated by G proteins. Transfected receptors were coupled to increases in intracellular calcium and inhibition of cAMP. To determine the polarity of AT1A expression and function in proximal tubules, transfected cells were grown to confluence on membrane inserts under conditions that allowed selective access to AP or BL surfaces. AT1A were expressed on both AP ( K d = 8.7 nM, Bmax = 3.33 pmol/mg protein) and BL ( K d = 10.1 nM, Bmax = 5.50 pmol/mg protein) surfaces. Both AP and BL AT1Areceptors underwent agonist-dependent endocytosis (AP receptor: t 1/2 = 7.9 min, Ymax = 78.5%; BL receptor: t 1/2 = 2.1 min, Ymax = 86.3%). In cells transfected with AT1A, ANG II caused time- and concentration-dependent increases in transepithelial22Na transport (2-fold over control at 20 min) by increasing Na/H exchange. In conclusion, we have established a stable proximal tubule cell line that expresses AT1A on both AP and BL surfaces, undergoes agonist-dependent receptor endocytosis, and is functional, as evidenced by inhibition of cAMP and increases in cytosolic calcium mobilization and transepithelial sodium movement. This cell line should prove useful for understanding the molecular and biochemical regulation of AT1A expression and function in PTEC.

Long-term angiotensin II (ANG II) administration is associated with increased ANG II accumulation in the kidney, but intrarenal compartment(s) involved in this response remains to be determined. We tested the hypothesis that 1) extracellular ANG II is taken up by proximal tubule cells (PTCs) through AT1 receptor-mediated endocytosis, 2) this process is regulated by cytoskeleton microtubule- and tyrosine phosphatase-dependent mechanisms, and 3) AT1 receptor-mediated endocytosis of ANG II has a functional relevance by modulating intracellular cAMP signaling. In cultured PTCs, [125I]Tyr-labeled ANG II and fluorescein labeled-ANG II were internalized in a time-dependent manner and colocalized with the endosome marker Alexa Fluor 594-transferrin. Endocytosis of extracellular ANG II was inhibited by the AT1 receptor blocker losartan (16.5 ± 4.6%, P < 0.01 vs. ANG II, 78.3 ± 6.2%) and by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor phenylarsine oxide (PAO; 30.0 ± 3.5%, P < 0.05 vs. ANG II). Intracellular ANG II levels were increased by ∼58% (basal, 229.8 ± 11.4 vs. ANG II, 361.3 ± 11.8 pg ANG II/mg protein, P < 0.01), and the responses were blocked by losartan ( P < 0.01), the cytoskeleton microtubule inhibitor colchicine ( P < 0.05), and PAO ( P < 0.01), whereas depletion of clathrin-coated pits with hyperosmotic sucrose had no effect (356.1 ± 25.5 pg ANG II/mg protein, not significant). ANG II accumulation was associated with significant inhibition of both basal (control, 15.5 ± 2.8 vs. ANG II, 9.1 ± 2.4 pmol/mg protein, P < 0.05) and forskolin-stimulated cAMP signaling (forskolin, 68.7 ± 8.6 vs. forskolin + ANG II, 42.8 ± 13.8 pmol/mg protein, P < 0.01). These effects were blocked by losartan and PAO. We conclude that extracellular ANG II is internalized in PTCs through AT1 receptor-mediated endocytosis and that internalized ANG II may play a functional role in proximal tubule cells by inhibiting intracellular cAMP signaling.

Experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on the sodium transport activity of isolated intact rabbit proximal tubule cells. Initial rates of 22Na(+) uptake were measured in Na+-depleted and ouabain-treated cells in the presence of an opposing H+ gradient (pHin less than pHout). ANG II (10(-12)-10(-9) M) stimulated the initial rate of 22Na+ uptake by 33 +/- 2%, whereas amiloride (0.5 mM) inhibited both basal and ANG II-stimulated 22Na+ uptake. ANG II-stimulated rate of 22Na+ uptake was inhibited by the receptor antagonist saralasin. Additional experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of ANG II on the rate of recovery of pHin in acid-loaded proximal tubule cells. Cells were acid loaded by an NH4Cl pulse in the presence of the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. ANG II increased the initial rate of intracellular alkalinization, and this effect was inhibited by amiloride (1.0 mM). ANG II stimulation increased the Vmax of H+ efflux (from 0.53 +/- 0.02 to 0.64 +/- 0.04 pH units/min) without changing the Km for extracellular Na+. The present findings indicate that physiological concentrations of ANG II stimulate an amiloride-sensitive Na+-H+ antiport in proximal tubule cells.

Mitochondrial Respiratory

Angiotensin II (ANG II) plays an important role in mitochondrial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular, hypertensive and kidney diseases, but it is not known whether extracellular or intracellular ANG II mediates this effect via activation of cell surface or mitochondrial receptors. As a proof of concept study, we overexpressed an intracellular cyan fluorescent ANG II fusion protein, mito-ANG II, with or without a GFP-tagged full length AT 2 receptor, mito-AT 2 R, selectively in the mitochondria of mouse proximal tubule (mPCT) cells. The mitochondrial respiratory and glycolytic stress responses were measured using Seahorse XF Cell Mito and XF Glycolysis Stress Test Kits, respectively. Live cell fluorescent imaging confirmed the expression and colocalization of mito-ANG II and mito-AT 2 R with a mitochondrial marker MitoTracker®. Overexpression of mito-ANG II for 48 h significantly increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) by 30% (Control: 239.4 ± 9.2 vs. mito-ANG II: 310.4 ± 12.6 pmol/min; p <0.01, n=5) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) by 33% (Control: 6.3 ± 0.3 vs. mito-ANG II: 8.1 ± 0.5 mpH/min; p <0.01, n=5). The effects of mito-ANG II on OCR and ECAR responses were associated with significant increases in phosphorylated MAP kinase ERK1/2, Na + /K + -ATPase, and mitochondrial redox carries, Complex I (NADH coenzyme Q reductase), Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), Complex III (cytochrome bc 1 complex) and Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) ( p <0.01, n=6). The mito-ANG II-induced OCR and ECAR responses were blocked by the AT 1 blocker losartan (10 μM, p <0.01, n=5), but not by the AT 2 receptor blocker PD123319 (10 μM, n.s. , n=5). However, concurrent overexpression of mito-AT 2 R with mito-ANG II in the mitochondria of mPCT cells significantly attenuated the effects of mito-ANG II on OCR and ECAR responses ( p <0.01, n=6), while the effects of mito-AT 2 R overexpression were completely blocked by PD123319 ( p <0.01, n=5). Taken together, our results provide strong evidence that activation of mitochondrial AT 1 receptors by intracellular ANG II stimulates, whereas activation of mitochondrial AT 2 receptors by intracellular ANG II inhibits, mitochondrial respiratory and glycolytic responses in mouse proximal tubule cells.

We have shown a sex-specific effect of fetal programming on Na+ excretion in adult sheep. The site of this effect in the kidney is unknown. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that renal proximal tubule cells (RPTCs) from adult male sheep exposed to betamethasone (Beta) before birth have greater Na+ uptake than do RPTCs from vehicle-exposed male sheep and that RPTCs from female sheep similarly exposed are not influenced by antenatal Beta. In isolated RPTCs from 1- to 1.5-yr-old male and female sheep, we measured Na+ uptake under basal conditions and after stimulation with ANG II. To gain insight into the mechanisms involved, we also measured nitric oxide (NO) levels, ANG II receptor mRNA levels, and expression of Na+/H+ exchanger 3. Basal Na+ uptake increased more in cells from Beta-exposed male sheep than in cells from vehicle-exposed male sheep (400% vs. 300%, P < 0.00001). ANG II-stimulated Na+ uptake was also greater in cells from Beta-exposed males. Beta exposure did not increase Na+ uptake by RPTCs from female sheep. NO production was suppressed more by ANG II in RPTCs from Beta-exposed males than in RPTCs from either vehicle-exposed male or female sheep. Our data suggest that one site of the sex-specific effect of Beta-induced fetal programming in the kidney is the RPTC and that the enhanced Na+ uptake induced by antenatal Beta in male RPTCs may be related to the suppression of NO in these cells.
