Episodic acidification resulting in increased acidity and inorganic aluminum (Al(i)) is known to impact anadromous salmonids and has been identified as a possible cause of Atlantic salmon population decline. Sensitive life-stages such as smolts may be particularly vulnerable to impacts of short-term (days-week) acid/Al exposure, however the extent and mechanism(s) of this remain unknown. To determine if Atlantic salmon smolts are more sensitive than parr to short-term acid/Al, parr and smolts held in the same experimental tanks were exposed to control (pH 6.3-6.6, 11-37 microgl(-1) Al(i)) and acid/Al (pH 5.0-5.4, 43-68 microgl(-1) Al(i)) conditions in the lab, and impacts on ion regulation, stress response and gill Al accumulation were examined after 2 and 6 days. Parr and smolts were also held in cages for 2 and 6 days in a reference (Rock River, RR) and an acid/Al-impacted tributary (Ball Mountain Brook, BMB) of the West River in Southern Vermont. In the lab, losses in plasma Cl(-) levels occurred in both control parr and smolts as compared to fish sampled prior to the start of the study, however smolts exposed to acid/Al experienced additional losses in plasma Cl(-) levels (9-14 mM) after 2 and 6 days, and increases in plasma cortisol (4.3-fold) and glucose (2.9-fold) levels after 6 days, whereas these parameters were not significantly affected by acid/Al in parr. Gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity was not affected by acid/Al in either life-stage. Both parr and smolts held at BMB (but not RR) exhibited declines in plasma Cl(-), and increases in plasma cortisol and glucose levels; these differences were significantly greater in smolts after 2 days but similar in parr and smolts after 6 days. Gill NKA activity was reduced 45-54% in both life-stages held at BMB for 6 days compared to reference fish at RR. In both studies, exposure to acid/Al resulted in gill Al accumulation in parr and smolts, with parr exhibiting two-fold greater gill Al than smolts after 6 days. Our results indicate that smolts are more sensitive than parr to short-term acid/Al. Increased sensitivity of smolts appears to be independent of a reduction in gill NKA activity and greater gill Al accumulation. Instead, increased sensitivity of smolts is likely a result of both the acquisition of seawater tolerance while still in freshwater and heightened stress responsiveness in preparation for seawater entry and residence.

The Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) is prone to osmoregulatory disturbances when faced with fluctuating ambient temperatures. To investigate the underlying causes of this phenomenon, freshwater (FW)- and seawater (SW)-acclimated tilapia were transferred to 15, 25, or 35 degrees C for 2 weeks, and along with typically used indicators of osmoregulatory status [plasma osmolality and branchial and intestinal specific Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity], we used tissue microarrays (TMA) and laser-scanning cytometry (LSC) to characterize the effects of temperature acclimation. Tissue microarrays were stained with fluorescently labeled anti-Na(+), K(+)-ATPase antibodies that allowed for the quantification of NKA abundance per unit area within individual branchial mitochondria-rich cells (MRCs) as well as sections of renal tissue. Mitochondria-rich cell counts and estimates of size were carried out for each treatment by the detection of DASPMI fluorescence. The combined analyses showed that SW fish have larger but fewer MRCs that contain more NKA per unit area. After a 2-week acclimation to 15 degrees C tilapia experienced osmotic imbalances in both FW and SW that were likely due to low NKA activity. SW-acclimated fish compensated for the low activity by increasing MRC size and subsequently the concentration of NKA within MRCs. Although there were no signs of osmotic stress in FW-acclimated tilapia at 25 degrees C, there was an increased NKA capacity that was most likely mediated by a higher MRC count. We conclude on the basis of the different responses to temperature acclimation that salinity-induced changes in the NKA concentration of MRCs alter thermal tolerance limits of tilapia.

Motion of integral membrane proteins to the plasma membrane in response to G-protein-coupled receptor signals requires selective cargo recognition motifs that bind adaptor protein 1 and clathrin. Angiotensin II, through the activation of AT1 receptors, promotes the recruitment to the plasma membrane of Na,K-ATPase molecules from intracellular compartments. We present evidence to demonstrate that a tyrosine-based sequence (IVVY-255) present within the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit is involved in the binding of adaptor protein 1. Mutation of Tyr-255 to a phenylalanine residue in the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit greatly reduces the angiotensin II-dependent activation of Na,K-ATPase, recruitment of Na,K-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane, and association of adaptor protein 1 with Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit molecules. To determine protein-protein interaction, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer between fluorophores attached to the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit and adaptor protein 1. Although angiotensin II activation of AT1 receptors induces a significant increase in the level of fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the two molecules, this effect was blunted in cells expressing the Tyr-255 mutant. Thus, results from different methods and techniques suggest that the Tyr-255-based sequence within the NKA alpha1-subunit is the site of adaptor protein 1 binding in response to the G-protein-coupled receptor signals produced by angiotensin II binding to AT1 receptors.

It has long been held that cortisol, acting through a single receptor, carries out both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions in teleost fish. The recent finding that fish express a gene with high sequence similarity to the mammalian mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) suggests the possibility that a hormone other than cortisol carries out some mineralocorticoid functions in fish. To test for this possibility, we examined the effect of in vivo cortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and aldosterone on salinity tolerance, gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity and mRNA levels of NKA alpha 1a and alpha 1b in Atlantic salmon. Cortisol treatment for 6-14 days resulted in increased, physiological levels of cortisol, increased gill NKA activity and improved salinity tolerance (lower plasma chloride after a 24h seawater challenge), whereas DOC and aldosterone had no effect on either NKA activity or salinity tolerance. NKA alpha 1a and alpha 1b mRNA levels, which increase in response to fresh water and seawater acclimation, respectively, were both upregulated by cortisol, whereas DOC and aldosterone were without effect. Cortisol, DOC and aldosterone had no effect on gill glucocorticoid receptor GR1, GR2 and MR mRNA levels, although there was some indication of possible upregulation of GR1 by cortisol (p=0.07). The putative GR blocker RU486 inhibited cortisol-induced increases in salinity tolerance, NKA activity and NKA alpha 1a and alpha 1b transcription, whereas the putative MR blocker spironolactone had no effect. The results provide support that cortisol, and not DOC or aldosterone, is involved in regulating the mineralocorticoid functions of ion uptake and salt secretion in teleost fish.

California Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus x O. urolepis hornorum) are extremely saline tolerant and have been previously shown to reduce whole-animal oxygen consumption rate (MO(2)) upon exposures to salinities greater than that of seawater (SW). In this study tilapia were acclimated to 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 g/L salinity for 1, 5, 14, or 28 days. There was little change in plasma osmolality or muscle water content in salinities below 60 g/L, and branchial Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity was low in 15 and 30 g/L relative to 60 and 75 g/L. When tilapia were exposed to 75 g/L, plasma osmolality and NKA activity were significantly increased within 5 days of exposure relative to those in 15 and 30 g/L, and remained elevated over the entire 28 days acclimation, indicating that short term salinity challenges (i.e., 5 days) are predictive of longer exposure durations in this species. MO(2) following transfer to 15 and 30 g/L was elevated, reflecting the high energy demand required for switching from a hyper- to a hypo-osmoregulatory strategy. The MO(2) of 60 g/L-exposed fish was significantly reduced at 1, 5, and 14 days, relative to 30 g/L-exposed fish; however by 28 days there were no significant differences. We investigated the potential for a metabolic basis for the salinity-induced MO(2) reduction, using forward stepwise linear regression to correlate enzyme activities of brain, liver, and kidney with MO(2). Brain NKA was correlated with MO(2) after 5 days (p<0.01, r(2)=0.944) and both brain NKA and hepatic total ATPase were correlated with the reduced MO(2) at 14 days (p=0.027, r(2)=0.980 and p=0.025, r(2)=0.780, respectively). These results may indicate a tissue-level metabolic suppression, which has not been previously described as a response to hypersaline exposure in fishes.

Episodic acidification resulting in increased acidity and inorganic aluminum (Al(i)) is known to interfere with the parr-smolt transformation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), and has been implicated as a possible cause of population decline. To determine the extent and mechanism(s) by which short-term acid/Al exposure compromises smolt development, Atlantic salmon smolts were exposed to either control (pH 6.7-6.9) or acid/Al (pH 5.4-6.3, 28-64 microgl(-1) Al(i)) conditions for 2 and 5 days, and impacts on freshwater (FW) ion regulation, seawater (SW) tolerance, plasma hormone levels and stress response were examined. Gill Al concentrations were elevated in all smolts exposed to acid/Al relative to controls confirming exposure to increased Al(i). There was no effect of acid/Al on plasma ion concentrations in FW however, smolts exposed to acid/Al followed by a 24h SW challenge exhibited greater plasma Cl(-) levels than controls, indicating reduced SW tolerance. Loss of SW tolerance was accompanied by reductions in gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity and Na(+),K(+),2Cl(-) (NKCC) cotransporter protein abundance. Acid/Al exposure resulted in decreased plasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and 3,3',5'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T(3)) levels, whereas no effect of treatment was seen on plasma cortisol, growth hormone (GH), or thyroxine (T(4)) levels. Acid/Al exposure resulted in increased hematocrit and plasma glucose levels in FW, but both returned to control levels after 24h in SW. The results indicate that smolt development and SW tolerance are compromised by short-term exposure to acid/Al in the absence of detectable impacts on FW ion regulation. Loss of SW tolerance during short-term acid/Al exposure likely results from reductions in gill NKA and NKCC, possibly mediated by decreases in plasma IGF-I and T(3).

Angiotensin II (ANGII) plays a central role in the enhanced sodium reabsorption in early type 1 diabetes in man and in streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rats. This study investigates the effect of untreated STZ-diabetes leading to diabetic nephropathy in combination with ANGII treatment, on the abundance and localization of the renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NKA), a major contributor of renal sodium handling. After 7 weeks of STZ-diabetes (i.v. 65 mg kg(-1)) a subgroup of control (C) and diabetic (D7) Wistar rats were treated with ANGII (s.c. minipump 33 microg kg(-1) h(-1) for 24 h; CA and D7A). We measured renal function and mRNA expression, protein level, Serin23 phosphorylation, subcellular distribution, and enzyme activity of NKA alpha-1 subunit in the kidney cortex. Diabetes increased serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels (C versus D7), as did ANGII (C versus CA, D7 versus D7A). Both diabetes (C versus D7) and ANGII increased NKA alpha-1 protein level and enzyme activity (C versus CA, D7 versus D7A). Furthermore, the combination led to an additive increase (D7 versus D7A, CA versus D7A). NKA alpha-1 Ser23 phosphorylation was higher both in D7 and ANGII-treated rats in the non-cytoskeletal fraction, while no signal was detected in the cytoskeletal fraction. Control kidneys showed NKA alpha-1 immunopositivity on the basolateral membrane of proximal tubular cells, while both D7 and ANGII broadened NKA immunopositivity towards the cytoplasm. Our study demonstrates that diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the mRNA expression, protein level, Ser23 phosphorylation and enzyme activity of renal NKA, which is further elevated by ANGII. Despite an increase in total NKA quantity in diabetic nephropathy, the redistribution to the cystosol suggests the Na(+) pump is no longer functional. ANGII also caused translocation from the basolateral membrane, thus in diabetic states where ANGII level is acutely elevated, the loss of NKA will be exacerbated. This provides another mechanism by which ANGII blockade is likely to be protective.

The bottom-dwelling, longhorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus, is traditionally viewed as a stenohaline marine fish, but fishermen have described finding this sculpin in estuaries during high tide. Little is known about the salinity tolerance of the longhorn sculpin; thus, the purposes of these experiments were to explore the effects of low environmental salinity on ion transporter expression and distribution in the longhorn sculpin gill. Longhorn sculpin were acclimated to either 100% seawater (SW, sham), 20% SW, or 10% SW for 24 or 72 hr. Plasma osmolality, sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations were not different between the 20 and 100% treatments; however, they were 20-25% lower with exposure to 10% SW at 24 and 72 hr. In the teleost gill, regulation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA), Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1), and the chloride channel, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) are necessary for ion homeostasis. We immunolocalized these proteins to the mitochondrion-rich cell of the gill and determined that acclimation to low salinity does not affect their localization. Also, there was not a downregulation of gill NKA, NKCC1, and CFTR mRNA or protein during acclimation to low salinities. Collectively, these results suggest that down to 20% SW longhorn sculpin are capable of completely regulating ion levels over a 72-hr period, whereas 10% SW exposure results in a significant loss of ions and no change in ion transporter density or localization in the gill. We conclude that longhorn sculpin can tolerate low-salinity environments for days but, because they cannot regulate ion transporter density, they are unable to tolerate low salinity for longer periods or enter freshwater (FW). The genus Myoxocephalus has three FW species, making this group an excellent model to test evolutionary and physiological mechanisms that allow teleosts to invade new low salinities successfully.

It is well documented that dopamine can increase or decrease the activity of the Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA, sodium pump) in an organ-specific fashion. This regulation can occur, at least partially, via receptor-mediated second messenger activation and can promote NKA insertion or removal from the plasma membrane. Using co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, we now show that, in both brain and HEK293T cells, D1 and D2 dopamine receptors (DARs) can exist in a complex with the sodium pump. To determine the impact of NKA on DAR function, biological assays were conducted with NKA and DARs co-expressed in HEK293T cells. In this system, expression of NKA dramatically decreased D1 and D2 DAR densities with a concomitant functional decrease in DAR-mediated regulation of cAMP levels. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of endogenous or overexpressed NKA enhanced DAR function without altering receptor number or localization. Similarly, DAR function was also augmented by small interfering RNA reduction of the endogenous NKA. These data suggest that, under basal conditions, NKA negatively regulates DAR function via protein-protein interactions. In reciprocal fashion, expression of DARs decreases endogenous NKA function in the absence of dopamine, implicating DAR proteins as regulators of NKA activity. Notably, dopamine stimulation or pertussis toxin inhibition of D2 receptor signaling did not alter NKA activity, indicating that the D2-mediated decrease in NKA function is dependent upon protein-protein interactions rather than signaling molecules. This evidence for reciprocal regulation between DARs and NKA provides a novel control mechanism for both DAR signaling and cellular ion balance.

This study investigated whether high frequency in vitro stimulation of rat fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle depresses Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity as measured by the maximal in vitro 3-O-MFPase assay. EDL muscles subjected to 10 s continuous 100 Hz stimulation reduced tetanic force by 51.8 +/- 5.1% which recovered to 81.2 +/- 6.1% after 1 min and remained stable over 1 h recovery period. A second bout reduced force by 50.3 +/- 3.8% of initial but had no effect on 3-O-MFPase activity. Three minutes of intermittent stimulation (1 s at 100 Hz and 4 s recovery) resulted in 87.0 +/- 2.8% decline force with slow recovery (62.7 +/- 5.8% of initial after 1 h). The second 3-min bout reduced force by 83.3 +/- 3.6% of initial with no change in maximal 3-O-MFPase activity. These findings contrast previous human studies where fatiguing voluntary exercise depresses maximal NKA activity. This suggests that NKA in rat fast-twitch muscle is resistant to fatigue-induced inactivation under these conditions. Furthermore, the loss of force with fatigue was not related to depressed maximal NKA activity.
