A 6.5-kilobase fragment of genomic DNA from mutant mouse cells under ouabain selection pressure conferred ouabain resistance when transfected into ouabain-sensitive CV1 green monkey fibroblasts. Ouabain resistance was induced in the presence of 10 microM ouabain. Amiloride (500 microM) completely blocked ouabain-insensitive 86Rb+ uptake into these cells. Plasma membranes from these cells demonstrated little sodium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity but had potassium-dependent and ouabain-resistant p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity. Like Na+,K+-ATPase this activity was vanadate- and sodium-inhibitable. Also, like the Na+,K+-ATPase, sodium inhibition of the p-nitrophenylphosphatase was reversed by 10 microM adenosine 5'-triphosphate.

We have recently shown that substitution of Li+ for perfusate Na+ eliminates the HCO3(-)-rich choleresis produced by ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in isolated perfused rat liver and that the increase in bile flow produced by both UDCA and taurocholic acid is partially inhibited by 1 mM amiloride. Although these findings are consistent with a role for Na+-H+ exchange in the choleresis produced by these bile acids, both Li+ substitution and amiloride affect other cellular processes, including Na+-K+-ATPase activity. We have now further explored both the relationship between UDCA-stimulated bile flow and biliary HCO3- secretion and the possible role of Na+-H+ exchange in this process by comparing the effects of amiloride with two of its more potent and presumably more specific analogues, 5-(N,N-dimethyl)amiloride hydrochloride (DMA) and 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIA). In the absence of inhibitor, UDCA increased biliary HCO3- concentration ([HCO3-]) up to an apparent maximum of 60-70 mM, and bile flow and biliary HCO3- output appeared to be linearly related over a sixfold range of bile flow rates. Amiloride, DMA, and EIA each produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of UDCA-stimulated bile flow and biliary HCO3- output with an apparent rank order potency (EIA greater than DMA greater than amiloride) similar to that reported for inhibition of Na+-H+ exchange in other systems. None of the inhibitors significantly altered biliary UDCA output or the relationship between UDCA-induced bile flow and either biliary [HCO3-] or biliary HCO3- output. Effects of these inhibitors did not appear attributable either to nonspecific toxicity, as reflected by hepatic release of lactate dehydrogenase or K+, or to inhibition of hepatic Na+-K+-ATPase, measured as Na+-dependent uptake of 86Rb. In contrast to their effects on UDCA choleresis, these inhibitors had little or no effect on basal bile flow, biliary [HCO3-], and biliary HCO3- output. These findings indicate that UDCA-induced but not basal bile formation is closely coupled to biliary HCO3- concentration and output, and they provide additional evidence that UDCA choleresis requires an intact Na+-H+ exchange mechanism.

In the present study we investigated the effect of amiloride, a rather specific inhibitor of the membrane Na+-Ca++ exchange system, on the release of endogenous dopamine (DA) and "previously taken-up" [3H]DA from tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons. Amiloride (300 microM) stimulated either endogenous DA or [3H]DA release. Amiloride-induced stimulation of [3H]DA release was prevented in a Ca++-free plus ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid medium. Amiloride, at the same concentration, reinforced both high K+- and electrically-induced stimulation of [3H]DA release. These results are explained on the basis of the ability of amiloride in blocking the Na+-Ca++ exchange system, therefore causing an elevation of intracellular Ca++ levels in resting conditions, and a further accumulation of Ca++ ions after high K+- or electrically elicited opening of voltage-operated channels specific for Ca++ ions. The enhanced intracellular Ca++ availability may trigger the stimulation of neurotransmitter release. In addition, amiloride was able to block in a dose-dependent manner (70-300 microM) the ouabain-induced [3H]DA release, suggesting that, when intracellular concentrations of Na+ are increased by the blockade of Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase the Na+-Ca+;+ exchange carrier reverses its resting mode of operation, mediating the influx of extracellular Ca++ ions. Amiloride, by blocking the Na+-Ca++ exchange mechanism, prevents the ouabain-elicited entrance of extracellular Ca++ ions, therefore inhibiting [3H]DA release stimulated by the cardioactive glycoside. Collectively, the results of the present study seem to be compatible with the idea that the Na+-Ca++ exchange mechanism is involved in the regulation of [3H]DA release from tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons, through the regulation of Ca++ movements across the plasma membrane.

The effect of harmaline on the transport of organic ions was determined in rabbit kidney cortical slices. Harmaline inhibited p-aminohippurate (PAH) uptake noncompetitively in a dose-dependent manner over the concentration range of 0.1 and 10 mM, with the 50% inhibition at 0.65 mM. Harmaline also inhibited the microsomal Na-K-ATPase activity and the tissue oxygen consumption and altered cellular Na and K contents, the effective dose being similar to that on PAH uptake. Under anaerobic conditions, harmaline inhibited Na-dependent PAH uptake in Na, K-depleted slices. Harmaline was a strong competitive inhibitor of TEA transport, showing the 50% inhibition at 8 microM. Amiloride (0.5 mM) and choline (1 mM) inhibited TEA uptake by 74 and 75%, respectively. Harmaline did not inhibit additively the TEA uptake in the presence of amiloride or choline. These results suggest that harmaline affects PAH uptake across the basolateral membrane by inhibiting Na-K-ATPase in aerobic slices, and probably by interacting with the Na sensitive site on the PAH carrier in anaerobic slices. Harmaline inhibits TEA uptake by direct action on the organic cation transport system in the basolateral membrane of the rabbit renal proximal tubule.

Unidirectional 45Ca fluxes were measured in the turtle bladder under open-circuit and short-circuit conditions. In the open-circuited state net calcium flux (JnetCa) was secretory (serosa to mucosa) and was 388.3 +/- 84.5 pmol.mg-1.h-1 (n = 20, P less than 0.001). Ouabain (5 X 10(-4) M) reversed JnetCa to an absorptive flux (serosal minus mucosal flux = -195.8 +/- 41.3 pmol.mg-1.h-1; n = 20, P less than 0.001). Amiloride (1 X 10(-5) M) reduced both fluxes such that JnetCa was not significantly different from zero. Removal of mucosal sodium caused net calcium absorption; removal of serosal sodium caused calcium secretion. When bladders were short circuited, JnetCa decreased to approximately one-third of control value but remained secretory (138.4 +/- 54.3 pmol.mg-1.h-1; n = 9, P less than 0.025). When ouabain was added under short-circuit conditions, JnetCa was similar in magnitude and direction to ouabain under open-circuited conditions (i.e., absorptive). Tissue 45Ca content was approximately equal to 30-fold lower when the isotope was placed in the mucosal bath, suggesting that the apical membrane is the resistance barrier to calcium transport. The results obtained in this study are best explained by postulating a Ca2+-ATPase on the serosa of the turtle bladder epithelium and a sodium-calcium antiporter on the mucosa. In this model, the energy for calcium movement would be supplied, in large part, by the Na+-K+-ATPase. By increasing cell sodium, ouabain would decrease the activity of the mucosal sodium-calcium exchanger (or reverse it), uncovering active calcium transport across the serosa.

In brush border membrane vesicles prepared from mammalian kidney cortex, amiloride is a potent inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchanger. In the present study, in vivo microperfusion was used to examine the effect of luminal amiloride on transport in the rat superficial proximal convoluted tubule. At a perfusion rate of 14 nl/min, addition of 10(-3) M amiloride to artificial early proximal tubular fluid reduced bicarbonate absorption from 103 +/- 7 to 81 +/- 5 pmol mm-1 X min-1 and volume absorption from 2.03 +/- 0.15 to 1.57 +/- 0.06 nl X mm-1 X min-1. Glucose efflux was unchanged, excluding nonspecific inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase. Luminal amiloride at 10(-4) M did not affect bicarbonate absorption or volume absorption. At a perfusion rate of 41 nl/min, 10(-3) M amiloride reduced bicarbonate absorption from 179 +/- 8 to 114 +/- 9 pmol X mm-1 X min-1, a significantly greater inhibition than that seen in tubules perfused at 14 nl/min. Amiloride at 10(-3) M had no significant effect on sodium chloride absorption as measured by volume flux from an artificial late proximal tubular fluid. The results show that luminal amiloride specifically inhibits proximal acidification and demonstrate involvement of the Na+/H+ antiporter in proximal tubular acidification. However, the inhibition of acidification is less than the inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange predicted by vesicle studies.

Effects of amiloride on the inotropic and toxic actions of cardiac glycosides were examined using left atrial muscle isolated from guinea pig heart. Preincubation of atrial muscle with amiloride significantly decreased the maximum positive inotropic effect of dihydrodigoxin but failed to reduce that of isoproterenol. Amiloride prevented the contracture and significantly reduced the incidence of arrhythmias induced by 2 microM digoxin. Similar experiments examining 5 microM digoxin-induced arrhythmias showed that amiloride increased both the time required to produce arrhythmias and the fractional occupancy of sarcolemmal Na,K-ATPase by digoxin at the onset of arrhythmias. The antagonism of cardiac glycoside actions was best observed during the decline in developed tension elicited by amiloride subsequent to its initial positive inotropic effect. Amiloride had no effect on binding site concentration for ATP-dependent [3H]ouabain binding but decreased affinity of the binding sites for ouabain in membrane preparations obtained from guinea pig heart. Furthermore, amiloride inhibited Na,K-ATPase activity and increased the IC50 value for ouabain inhibition of the enzyme. These results indicate that amiloride antagonizes the positive inotropic and toxic effects of cardiac glycosides. Possible mechanisms for the antagonism include inhibition of sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ or Na+/H+ exchange.

Amiloride (8 X 10(-4), an inhibitor of sodium channels of nonexcited membranes, inhibits the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase in the kidney cortex homogenate as well as that of the partially purified membrane-bound and lubrol-soluble Na+,K+-ATPase preparations from the cattle brain. Inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase from different organs of various animals by amiloride, a blocker of sodium channels, indicates similarity of the molecular organization of the Na+-recognizing component both of sodium channels and sodium centres of Na+,K+-ATPase.

Iodide uptake by primary cultures of turtle thyroid cells decreased linearly with reduction of Na+ concentration in the medium, but changes in medium Cl- concentration did not affect iodide uptake. Ouabain, furosemide, monensin, and perchlorate all decreased 125I-uptake by cultured thyroid cells, whereas amiloride and triamterene did not. Ouabain, monensin, perchlorate, and amiloride depolarized the membrane of cultured cells, whereas furosemide and triamterene had no effect. Ouabain and perchlorate increased intracellular Na+ and Cl- and decreased K+ activities; furosemide and monensin reduced all three ions, but triamterene had no effect. Amiloride decreased intracellular Na+ and increased intracellular Cl- activities, however, its effect on K+ activity could not be determined because of interference by this compound of the K+ ion exchanger. All the agents, except furosemide, inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity. These experiments demonstrate that 1) Na+-I- cotransport is responsible for most iodide accumulation in thyroid cells; 2) Na+-I- cotransport system is linked to the Na+-K+ pump; 3) active iodide transport does not always correlate with Na+-K+-ATPase activity; 4) a perchlorate-sensitive iodide transport system is present in thyroid cells; 5) transport processes, not involved in active iodide transport (Na+-Cl- cotransport and Na+-H+ counter transport), are also present in cultured thyroid cells.

Aldosterone and insulin stimulate Na+ transport through mechanisms involving protein synthesis. Na+-K+-ATPase has been implicated in the action of both hormones. We examined the effect of aldosterone and insulin on Na+-K+-ATPase in epithelial cells in culture derived from toad urinary bladder (TB6C) and toad kidney (A6). Aldosterone, but not insulin, increases short-circuit current (ISC) in TB6C cells. Aldosterone increases Na+-K+-ATPase activity after 18 h of incubation, but no effect can be seen at 3 and 6 h. Amiloride, which inhibits aldosterone-induced increases in ISC, has no effect on either basal or aldosterone stimulated enzyme activity. Both aldosterone and insulin increase ISC in A6 cells and when added together are synergistic. Aldosterone stimulates enzyme activity in A6 cells, but insulin alone has no effect. However, aldosterone and insulin together stimulate enzyme activity more than aldosterone alone. It appears that stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity is involved in aldosterone action in both cell lines but does not appear to be due to increased Na+ entry, since enhanced enzyme activity is not inhibited by amiloride. In contrast, insulin alone has no direct effect on Na+-K+-ATPase, although the increased enzyme activity following both agents in combination may explain their synergism on ISC.
