We studied the effect of dopamine (DA) on Na+-K+-ATPase activity in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) segments dissected from perfused rat kidneys. DA inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition was significant with 10(-7) M DA and maximal with 10(-4) M DA. The inhibition was reversible. Enzyme inhibition occurred in the presence of DA and a DA antagonist, metoclopramide, but not when 10(5) M of the DA1 and DA2 agonists fenoldopam mesylate and LY 171555 were added in the absence of DA. In PCT segments incubated with the DA precursor dopa, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was also inhibited. However, dopa did not inhibit the sodium pump if dopa decarboxylase activity was blocked with benserazide. These findings suggest an intracellular site of action of DA. In tubules incubated in different K concentrations, 10(-5) DA decreased the maximal activity (Vmax) and increased the Km. DA 10(-5) M caused an almost immediate swelling of PCT segments. Swelling did not occur in the presence of both DA and 10(-5) M amiloride. The DA-induced tubular swelling was probably due to inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase-mediated Na+-transport. We conclude that in rat PCT segments, DA causes a rapid and reversible inhibition of apparent Na+-K+-ATPase activity and an apparent reduction in the affinity for K. The site of action appears to be intracellular.

Dopamine decreases tubular sodium reabsorption, attributed in part to Na-K-ATPase inhibition in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). Because the final regulation of sodium excretion occurs in the collecting duct, where specific dopamine DA1 binding sites have been demonstrated, we examined the effects of dopamine, as well as of DA1 and DA2 receptor agonists on Na-K-ATPase activity and on the number of units in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, which retain differentiated properties of the renal cortical collecting tubule epithelium. Dopamine (10(-5) M) inhibited pump activity (by 50%) and reduced the number of units. This effect was reproduced by the DA1 agonist SKF 38393, which inhibited pump activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner (maximum, 10(-5) M). The DA2 agonist quinpirole hydrochloride was without effect, either alone or in combination with SKF 38393. Inhibition of pump activity by dopamine was totally abolished by H7 (100 microM), an inhibitor of protein kinase (PK), but partially by 2',5'-dideoxy-adenosine (DDA) and H4, respective inhibitors of cAMP production and PKA, which suggests that the dopamine effect on Na-K-ATPase activity may be linked to activation of both PKC and PKA. In these cells, amiloride addition during preincubation did not alter the effect of dopamine on Na-K-ATPase activity; in contrast, furosemide increased further the inhibitory effect of dopamine on the enzyme activity. Monensin addition (10(-3) M) reversed the inhibitory effect of dopamine after a 30-min preincubation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The sodium pump Na,K-ATPase, a heterodimer of an alpha catalytic subunit and a beta glycoprotein subunit, is regulated by a wide array of hormonal, autocrine, and paracrine factors. Both short-term acute adjustments of activity and long-term adjustments of sodium pump pool size are important determinants of cellular Na,K-ATPase activity. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are implicated in the acute regulation of activity. Although there is not yet any direct demonstration of phosphorylation in vivo, in vitro studies on purified enzyme directly demonstrate that phosphorylation decreases Na,K-ATPase activity. In addition, it is likely that phosphorylation of other proteins regulates sodium pump activity and cellular distribution. In regard to long-term regulation, recent demonstration of differential translatability of alpha and beta mRNAs and differential stability of newly synthesized alpha and beta subunits suggests that beta subunit is synthesized in excess over alpha subunit and that the excess is rapidly degraded. The isoform composition of alpha beta heterodimers has been shown to affect enzymatic properties, and tissue-specific heterodimer patterns are emerging from regulation studies. In regard to Na,K-ATPase and hypertension, there is continued interest in the significance of the uncoupling of dopamine inhibition of proximal tubule Na,K-ATPase activity in hypertensive rat strains. The uncoupling has been shown to be specific to the proximal tubule, which has been shown to express DA1 dopamine receptors, and both receptor and postreceptor defects are implicated. Questions remaining include how activation of dopamine receptors is coupled to decreased sodium transporter expression in the proximal tubule (short- and long-term regulation) in normotensive rats, the precise nature of the defect in hypertension, and whether a similar defect is observed in human hypertensive patients.

We recently reported a novel intracellular mechanism of Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) regulation in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) by agents that increase cell adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), which involves stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). We now determined whether this mechanism also operates in other nephron segments. In the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) dopamine, the DA1 agonist fenoldopam, forskolin, or dibutyryl-cAMP inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity, similar to results in CCD. In both segments this effect was blocked by 20-residue inhibitory peptide (IP20), a peptide inhibitor of PKA, but not by staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. PKC activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol had no effect on Na-K pump activity in either CCD or MTAL. In contrast, all three PKC activators inhibited pump activity in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), an effect reproduced only by dopamine or by parathyroid hormone [PTH-(1-34)]. In PCT the pump inhibition by dopamine or PTH-(1-34) was abolished by staurosporine but not by IP20. The PLA2 inhibitor mepacrine prevented the effect of all agents, and arachidonic acid produced a dose-dependent pump inhibition in each of the three segments studied. We conclude that intracellular mechanisms of Na-K-ATPase regulation differ along the nephron, as they involve activation of PKA in CCD and MTAL and of PKC in PCT. These two pathways probably share a common mechanism in stimulating PLA2, arachidonic acid release, and production of eicosanoids in both the proximal and distal nephron.

The dopamine DA1 receptor transduces its signal via adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C in the renal proximal tubule, which has been suggested to be defective at the level of receptor-G protein coupling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We prepared basolateral membranes from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and SHR to determine the coupling of DA1 receptor with G proteins, especially G(q/11). Fenoldopam, a DA1-receptor agonist, produced a time- and concentration-dependent stimulation in 35S-labeled guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTPgammaS) binding in WKY rats. Fenoldopam-induced (10 microM) stimulation was significantly inhibited by a DA1-receptor antagonist, Sch-23390. Specific antibodies against COOH terminals of G(S)alpha and G(q/11)alpha produced 50-60% and 40-50% inhibition, respectively, in fenoldopam stimulation of [35S]GTPgammaS binding. Western analysis of basolateral membranes with these antibodies revealed the presence of G(S)alpha (45 kDa) and G(q/11)alpha (42 kDa). Fenoldopam stimulation of [35S]GTPgammaS binding was significantly attenuated in SHR compared with WKY rats. Parathyroid hormone stimulation of [35S]GTPgammaS binding was similar in SHR and WKY rats, whereas stimulation by phenylephrine was significantly reduced in SHR. Densitometric quantification of 42-kDa band showed a reduced amount in SHR, whereas the density of 45-kDa band was not significantly different compared with WKY rats. We provide the direct evidence showing the coupling of DA1 receptor with G(q/11)alpha and G(S)alpha and propose that, in addition to a defect in the receptor-G protein coupling, a reduced amount of G(q/11)alpha observed in the hypertensive animals may also contribute to the diminished dopamine-induced inhibition of Na+-K+-adenosinetriphosphatase in SHR.

The present study examines the effect of dopamine DA1-receptor agonists on the renal proximal tubular Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) activity and quantitates DA1 receptors and the coupled G proteins in Fischer 344 model of adult (6 mo old) and old (23 mo old) rats. Dopamine and the preferential DA1-receptor agonist, SKF-38393, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in proximal tubules from adult rats, whereas the enzyme activity was unaffected by these agonists in the old rats. The binding of DA1-receptor antagonist [3H]Sch-23390 in the proximal tubular basolateral membranes showed a marked decrease (approximately 47%) in the receptor numbers in old compared with adult rats, whereas dissociation constant (Kd) values in old compared with adult rats were not significantly different. Dopamine and SKF-38393 stimulated 35S-labeled guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) binding in adult rats, but there was no significant effect on the binding in the old rats. Quantification of G2 alpha and Gq/11 alpha using Western analysis revealed a significant increase in quantities of both the G proteins in old rats. The data suggest that a reduction in DA1 receptor number and subsequently reduced G protein activation may be the causative factors for the impairment in DA1 receptor-mediated inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the proximal tubules of old rats.

This study determined the effects of thyroid hormone on the renal dopaminergic system. Surgical thyroidectomy (Tx) and treatment with 2-thiouracil (Thio) decreased renal cortex Na+/K+ ATPase activity and urinary volume. Tx also decreased urinary Na+ and urinary L-DOPA without changing urinary excretion of Dopamine (DA). Thio treatment decreased slightly urinary L-DOPA and Na+, but increased urinary excretion of DA. In both models of thyroid hormone deficiency, the ratio urinary DA/DOPA increased. Changes after Thio treatment were reversed after one month of drug withdrawal. Treatment with T3 via osmotic minipump increased Na+/K+ ATPase activity and urinary L-DOPA, did not change urinary DA, and increased the ratio DA/DOPA. To further analyze the effects of thyroid hormone deficiency, we administered selective DA1 (SCH-23390), DA2 (Sulpiride), and a non selective (Haloperidol) DA receptor antagonists to Thio treated and control animals. The DA1 antagonist decreased diuresis, natriuresis and urinary L-DOPA in control, but had no effect in Thio treated rats. Sulpiride had no effect in either group. The combination of SCH-23390 plus Sulpiride decreased urinary L-DOPA and urinary volume only in Thio treated animals. Haloperidol decreased urinary volume in Thio treated animals, but had no effect in controls. Our findings suggest that renal DA synthesis is to some extent dependent on thyroid hormone levels, and that the response of DA receptors is altered by thyroid hormone deficiency, indicating a role of this hormone in the regulation of the renal dopaminergic system.

There is growing evidence that the adrenal cortex is the source of cardiotonic steroid (CS) regulators of sodium, potassium-ATPase (NKA). The control of adrenocortical production CS may play a critical role in mediating renal and vascular responses involved in arterial hypertension. Dopamine (DA) controls renal NKA by direct regulatory phosphorylation and indirectly by modification of aldosterone release. In the present studies, Y-1 adrenocortical cell cultures which have been shown to produce a cardiotonic steroid indistinguishable from the known vertebrate steroid, marinobufagenin (MBG), were treated with various agents to stimulate or antagonize dopamine signaling pathways. We demonstrate that Y-1 cells express both pharmacological types of dopamine receptor (DA1 and DA2). Treatment of Y-1 cells with DA stimulated MBG production in a dose range similar to that shown to inhibit aldosterone production by the adrenal cortex. Experiments with specific DA1 and DA2 receptor agonists and antagonists were performed and allowed us to attribute the DA stimulatory effect to a DA1 type receptor. The DA stimulatory effect on MBG depended on protein kinase A (PKA) and could be blocked by Rp-cAMPS. Although both basal and forskolin-stimulated progesterone production by Y-1 cells were profoundly inhibited in Y-1 cell lines expressing the dominant negative type I regulatory subunit of PKA, both basal and forskolin-stimulated MBG production were demonstrated in these lines. This evidence suggests a possible role of DA1 signaling through camp-mediated activation of the type II PKA holoenzyme in the adrenal cortex.

In response to volume expansion, locally generated dopamine decreases proximal tubule reabsorption by reducing both Na/H-exchanger 3 (NHE3) and Na-K-ATPase activity. We have previously demonstrated that mouse proximal tubules in vitro respond to changes in luminal flow with proportional changes in Na(+) and HCO(3)(-) reabsorption and have suggested that this observation underlies glomerulotubular balance. In the present work, we investigate the impact of dopamine on the sensitivity of reabsorptive fluxes to changes in luminal flow. Mouse proximal tubules were microperfused in vitro at low and high flow rates, and volume and HCO(3)(-) reabsorption (J(v) and J(HCO3)) were measured, while Na(+) and Cl(-) reabsorption (J(Na) and J(Cl)) were estimated. Raising luminal flow increased J(v), J(Na), and J(HCO3) but did not change J(Cl). Luminal dopamine did not change J(v), J(Na), and J(HCO3) at low flow rates but completely abolished the increments of Na(+) absorption by flow and partially inhibited the flow-stimulated HCO(3)(-) absorption. The remaining flow-stimulated HCO(3)(-) absorption was completely abolished by bafilomycin. The DA1 receptor blocker SCH23390 and the PKA inhibitor H89 blocked the effect of exogenous dopamine and produced a two to threefold increase in the sensitivity of proximal Na(+) reabsorption to luminal flow rate. Under the variety of perfusion conditions, changes in cell volume were small and did not always parallel changes in Na(+) transport. We conclude that 1) dopamine inhibits flow-stimulated NHE3 activity by activation of the DA1 receptor via a PKA-mediated mechanism; 2) dopamine has no effect on flow-stimulated H-ATPase activity; 3) there is no evidence of flow stimulation of Cl(-) reabsorption; and 4) the impact of dopamine is a coordinated modulation of both luminal and peritubular Na(+) transporters.

The purpose of this review is to summarize our knowledge and understanding of the physiological importance and the mechanisms underlying flow-activated proximal tubule transport. Since the earliest micropuncture studies of mammalian proximal tubule, it has been recognized that tubular flow is an important regulator of sodium, potassium, and acid-base transport in the kidney. Increased fluid flow stimulates Na+ and HCO3- absorption in the proximal tubule via stimulation of Na/H-exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) and H+-ATPase. In the proximal tubule, brush border microvilli are the major flow sensors, which experience changes in hydrodynamic drag and bending moment as luminal flow velocity changes and which transmit the force of altered flow to cytoskeletal structures within the cell. The signal to NHE3 depends upon the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton; the signal to the H+-ATPase depends upon microtubules. We have demonstrated that alterations in fluid drag impact tubule function by modulating ion transporter availability within the brush border membrane of the proximal tubule. Beyond that, there is evidence that transporter activity within the peritubular membrane is also modulated by luminal flow. Secondary messengers that regulate the flow-mediated tubule function have also been delineated. Dopamine blunts the responsiveness of proximal tubule transporters to changes in luminal flow velocity, while a DA1 antagonist increases flow sensitivity of solute reabsorption. IP3 receptor-mediated intracellular Ca2+ signaling is critical to transduction of microvillus drag. In this review, we summarize our findings of the regulatory mechanism of flow-mediated Na+ and HCO3- transport in the proximal tubule and review available information about flow sensing and regulatory mechanism of glomerulotubular balance.
