The effects of cyclic AMP on Na+/K+-ATPase activity were studied in the gill and kidney of the euryhaline brown trout Salmo trutta using two different experimental approaches. In the first series of experiments, in situ Na+/K+-ATPase activity was analyzed by measuring the ouabain-sensitive uptake of non-radioactive rubidium (Rb+) into gill cells and blocks of gill and kidney tissue. Rubidium uptake was linear for at least 30 min and was significantly inhibited by 1 mmol x l(-1) ouabain. Several agents presumed to increase the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration inhibited ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake in both gill (0.5 and 2 mmol x l(-1) dibutyryl-cyclic AMP, 1 mmol x l(-1) theophylline, 10 micromol x l(-1) forskolin and 10 micromol x l(-1 )isoproterenol) and kidney (10 micromol x l(-1) forskolin) tissue from freshwater-acclimated fish. In a separate series of experiments, ATP hydrolase activity was assayed in a permeabilised gill membrane preparation after incubation of tissue blocks with 10 micromol x l(-1 )forskolin. Forskolin elevated gill cyclic AMP levels 40-fold, inhibited maximal enzymatic Na+/K+-ATPase activity (Vmax) in gill tissue from both freshwater- and seawater-acclimated fish and reduced the apparent K+ affinity in the gills of seawater-acclimated fish, demonstrating that the effects are mediated through modifications of the enzyme itself. The protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and cyclosporin A did not affect forskolin-induced inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase activity, indicating that forskolin-mediated modulation was stable for the duration of assay. We suggest that cyclic-AMP-mediated phosphorylation through protein kinases may underlie the rapid modulation of Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the osmoregulatory tissues of euryhaline teleosts.

Phospholamban (PLB) inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase, and this inhibition is relieved by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation. The role of PLB in regulating Ca(2+) release through ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels, measured as Ca(2+) sparks, was examined using smooth muscle cells of cerebral arteries from PLB-deficient ("knockout") mice (PLB-KO). Ca(2+) sparks were monitored optically using the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator fluo 3 or electrically by measuring transient large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channel currents activated by Ca(2+) sparks. Basal Ca(2+) spark and transient BK current frequency were elevated in cerebral artery myocytes of PLB-KO mice. Forskolin, an activator of adenylyl cyclase, increased the frequency of Ca(2+) sparks and transient BK currents in cerebral arteries from control mice. However, forskolin had little effect on the frequency of Ca(2+) sparks and transient BK currents from PLB-KO cerebral arteries. Forskolin or PLB-KO increased SR Ca(2+) load, as measured by caffeine-induced Ca(2+) transients. This study provides the first evidence that PLB is critical for frequency modulation of Ca(2+) sparks and associated BK currents by PKA in smooth muscle.

Dopamine via the activation of D1-like receptors inhibits Na,K-ATPase and Na,H-exchanger and subsequently increases sodium excretion. We have previously reported that dopamine failed to inhibit Na,K-ATPase in the proximal tubules (PTs) of obese Zucker rats. The present study was designed to determine the effect of dopamine on Na,H-exchanger in PTs of lean and obese Zucker rats, and examine D1-like receptor-coupled signal transduction pathway mediating the inhibition of Na,H-exchanger. We found that dopamine inhibited Na,H-exchanger in the PTs of lean rats but this response was absent in obese rats. In brush border membranes, [3H]SCH 23390 binding revealed a approximately 45% reduction in D1-like receptor binding sites in obese compared to lean rats. Dopamine stimulated cAMP accumulation in PTs of lean but not in obese rats. Forskolin-mediated stimulation of cAMP was similar in lean and obese rats. Dopamine as well as forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP-mediated stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) was reduced in PTs of obese compared to lean rats. The data suggest that reduction in D1-like receptor binding sites, defective coupling with signaling pathway and inability of PKA activation may be responsible for the failure of dopamine to inhibit Na,H-exchanger in PTs of obese rats. This phenomenon may contribute to an increase in sodium reabsorption and development of hypertension in obese Zucker rats.

Elevated cAMP in NRK-52E and L6 cells causes a marked reduction in the phosphorylation of numerous phosphoproteins, as detected initially with phosphoserine-specific antibodies. Here, we show that elevation of cAMP in NRK cells by forskolin/3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) treatment decreased phosphorylation of substrates for different protein kinases, pointing to a common protein phosphatase as a target for cAMP-dependent regulation. Forskolin/IBMX treatment completely dephosphorylated a selective protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) substrate, elongation factor-2 (EF-2), at its Ca(2+) calmodulin-dependent kinase site, and decreased phosphorylation of substrates for cyclin-dependent kinases, including retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. As reported before, forskolin/IBMX also decreased phosphorylation of a protein kinase C substrate, the Na,K-ATPase. The cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation was blocked by the protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid at concentrations selective for PP2A but was not blocked by tautomycin at concentrations selective for PP1. The data implicate PP2A as a cAMP-activated phosphatase. Contrary to expectation, we found evidence that cAMP-dependent activation of PP2A did not depend on protein kinase A (PKA). Pretreatment of cells with the PKA inhibitor H89 abolished PKA activity measured in cell extracts and significantly decreased cAMP-activated phosphorylation of a known PKA substrate, ARPP-19, in cells, but failed to block the cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation of EF-2, Rb, and other proteins. This novel pathway of PP2A activation, acting on the time scale of minutes, represents yet another example of a cAMP-mediated, PKA-independent signaling mechanism. Because PP2A is active toward a variety of endogenous substrates, cAMP-stimulated dephosphorylation may have complicated the interpretation of many prior studies.

Ca2+ liberation from the endoplasmic reticulum activates sarco-endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA) to return Ca2+ to storage. We explored the role of SERCA in dynamic changes of intranuclear Ca2+ in single HeLa cells. Application of forskolin, as an activator of SERCA, caused the phosphorylation of SERCA2b but not SERCA3 on serine residues, which increased the rate of Ca2+ uptake. Forskolin also induced the changes of Ca2+ movement pattern in the nucleus when cells were stimulated with the Ca2+-releasing agents, histamine or A23187. Immunofluorescence staining showed that SERCA2b was densely populated on special parts of the nuclear envelope, but SERCA3 only existed in endoplasmic reticulum. Injection of an anti-SERCA2 antibody into the cytoplasm blocked the rise in the nuclear Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]n). However, injection of an anti-SERCA3 antibody did not affect the initiation of Ca2+ oscillations in the nucleus. Our data suggest that the activated-SERCA2b elevates the rate of uptake of free Ca2+ into stores along the nuclear envelope, which might support and maintain the nuclear Ca2+ homeostasis.

In the guinea pig gastric antrum, the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor, on pacemaker potentials were investigated in the presence of nifedipine. The pacemaker potentials consisted of primary and plateau components; SNP (> 1 microM) increased the frequency of occurrence of these pacemaker potentials, while inhibiting the plateau component. 1H-[1,2,4]-Oxadiazole [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, had no effect on the excitatory actions of SNP on the frequency of pacemaker potentials. Other types of NO donor, (+/-)-S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, 3-morpholino-sydnonimine and 8-bromoguanosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate had no excitatory effect on pacemaker activity. Forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, or 4,4'-diisothiocyano-stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid, an inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel, strongly attenuated the generation of pacemaker potentials, and SNP added in the presence of these chemicals restored the generation of pacemaker potentials. The pacemaker potentials evoked by SNP were abolished in low-Ca(2+) solution or by membrane depolarization with high-K(+) solution. The SNP-induced generation of pacemaker potentials was not prevented by cyclopiazonic acid, an inhibitor of internal Ca(2+)-ATPase, but was limited to a transient burst by iodoacetic acid, an inhibitor of glycolysis, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone, a mitochondrial protonophore, or 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid acetoxymethyl ester, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator. These results suggest that the SNP-induced increase in the frequency of pacemaker potentials is related to the elevated intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations due to release from mitochondria, and these actions may be independent of the activation of guanylate cyclase.

Corticosteroid hormone induced factor (CHIF) is a small epithelial-specific protein regulated by aldosterone and K+ intake. It is a member of the FXYD family of single span transmembrane proteins involved in the regulation of ion transport. Recent data have suggested that CHIF interacts with the a subunit of the Na+-K+-ATPase and increases the pump's affinity to cell Na+. CHIF knockout (KO) mice have mild renal phenotype under low Na+ or high K+ diets. The present study further characterizes kidney electrolyte metabolism in CHIF KO mice and describes abnormalities in the colonic ion transport function. Kidney: KO mice were not compromised in salt and water balance under resting conditions. Fractional excretions (FE) of Na+ and K+ were normal and the animals had no deficit in the adaptation to low Na+ or high K+ intake. Glucocorticoid treatment did not unmask any difference. The effects of amiloride on Na+ absorption were not different at any treatment protocol. In contrast, FEK+ was reduced by 35% in KO mice under low Na+ intake. COLON: Amiloride inhibitable Na+ absorption was reduced in distal colon by 42%, 54% and 58% under control conditions, glucocorticoid treatment and low Na+ intake, respectively. Also, the cAMP dependent ion transport was significantly diminished. Forskolin induced equivalent short circuit current (I'SC) was reduced by 41%, 32% and 58%, under control conditions, high K+, and low Na+ intake, respectively. The present findings support a role of CHIF as an indirect modulator of several different ion transport mechanisms and are consistent with regulation of the Na+-K+-ATPase as the common denominator.

Despite its key role in potassium homeostasis, transcriptional control of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha(2)-subunit (HKalpha(2)) gene in the collecting duct remains poorly characterized. cAMP increases H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the collecting duct, but its role in activating HKalpha(2) transcription has not been explored. Previously, we demonstrated that the proximal 177 bp of the HKalpha(2) promoter confers basal collecting duct-selective expression. This region contains several potential cAMP/Ca(2+)-responsive elements (CRE). Accordingly, we examined the participation of CRE-binding protein (CREB) in HKalpha(2) transcriptional control in murine inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD)-3 cells. Forskolin and vasopressin induced HKalpha(2) mRNA levels, and CREB overexpression stimulated the activity of HKalpha(2) promoter-luciferase constructs. Serial deletion analysis revealed that CREB inducibility was retained in a construct containing the proximal 100 bp of the HKalpha(2) promoter. In contrast, expression of a dominant negative inhibitor (A-CREB) resulted in 60% lower HKalpha(2) promoter-luciferase activity, suggesting that constitutive CREB participates in basal HKalpha(2) transcriptional activity. A constitutively active CREB mutant (CREB-VP16) strongly induced HKalpha(2) promoter-luciferase activity, whereas overexpression of CREBdLZ-VP16, which lacks the CREB DNA-binding domain, abolished this activation. In vitro DNase I footprinting and gel shift/supershift analysis of the proximal promoter with recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST)-CREB-1 and mIMCD-3 cell nuclear extracts revealed sequence-specific DNA-CREB-1 complexes at -86/-60. Mutation at three CRE-like sequences within this region abolished CREB-1 DNA-binding activity and abrogated CREB-VP16 trans-activation of the HKalpha(2) promoter. In contrast, mutation of the neighboring -104/-94 kappabeta element did not alter CREB-VP16 trans-activation of the HKalpha(2) promoter. Thus CREB-1, binding to one or more CRE-like elements in the -86/-60 region, trans-activates the HKalpha(2) gene and may represent an important link between rapid and delayed effects of cAMP on HKalpha(2) activity.

The present study evaluates the presence and functional proprieties of the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) in immortalized renal proximal tubular epithelial cells from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The expected size and nucleotide sequence of a 1031-bp fragment corresponding to type 1 NBC (NBC1) was identified in both cell lines. The expression of the NBC1 transcript was lower (P<0.05) in SHR than in WKY cells. After intracellular acidification and in the presence of amiloride (1 mmol/L), the addition of sodium (115 mmol/L) in the absence of chloride resulted in rapid intracellular pH recovery that was higher in WKY than in SHR cells. This was an Na(+)- and HCO(3)(-)-dependent process in both cell lines. 4,4'-Diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid inhibited NBC activity in both WKY and SHR cells; the inhibitory effect was, however, more pronounced in WKY than in SHR cells. Forskolin (10 micromol/L) and dibutyryl cAMP (0.5 mmol/L) did not alter NBC activity. Acidosis induced by a 24-hour treatment with NH4(+) (20 mmol/L) increased NBC activity to a greater extent in SHR than in WKY cells, without changes in intracellular pH and cell viability. Treatment with acetazolamide (300 micromol/L) for 24 hours did not change NBC activity in both cell lines. In contrast to NBC, Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity and expression were higher in SHR than in WKY cells. It is concluded that SHR cells are endowed with lower NBC activity than WKY cells, but the former is more resistant to 4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid and responds better to acidosis.

cAMP induces both active Cl(-) and active K(+) secretion in mammalian colon. It is generally assumed that a mechanism for K(+) exit is essential to maintain cells in the hyperpolarized state, thus favoring a sustained Cl(-) secretion. Both Kcnn4c and Kcnma1 channels are located in colon, and this study addressed the questions of whether Kcnn4c and/or Kcnma1 channels mediate cAMP-induced K(+) secretion and whether cAMP-induced K(+) secretion provides the driving force for Cl(-) secretion. Forskolin (FSK)-enhanced short-circuit current (indicator of net electrogenic ion transport) and K(+) fluxes were measured simultaneously in colonic mucosa under voltage-clamp conditions. Mucosal Na(+) orthovanadate (P-type ATPase inhibitor) inhibited active K(+) absorption normally present in rat distal colon. In the presence of mucosal Na(+) orthovanadate, serosal FSK induced both K(+) and Cl(-) secretion. FSK-induced K(+) secretion was 1) not inhibited by either mucosal or serosal 1-[(2-chlorophenyl) diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole (TRAM-34; a Kcnn4 channel blocker), 2) inhibited (92%) by mucosal iberiotoxin (Kcnma1 channel blocker), and 3) not affected by mucosal cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator inhibitor (CFTR(inh)-172). By contrast, FSK-induced Cl(-) secretion was 1) completely inhibited by serosal TRAM-34, 2) not inhibited by either mucosal or serosal iberiotoxin, and 3) completely inhibited by mucosal CFTR(inh)-172. These results indicate that cAMP-induced colonic K(+) secretion is mediated via Kcnma1 channels located in the apical membrane and most likely contributes to stool K(+) losses in secretory diarrhea. On the other hand, cAMP-induced colonic Cl(-) secretion requires the activity of Kcnn4b channels located in the basolateral membrane and is not dependent on the concurrent activation of apical Kcnma1 channels.
