We demonstrate abnormal dopaminergic neurotransmission in anorexic mice, homozygous for a recessive mutation (anx) causing starvation and motor disturbances. Isolated neurons from anx/anx striatum displayed a markedly increased activity of the Na+,K+-ATPase compared with normal littermates. Dopamine down-regulates Na+,K+-ATPase activity in striatal medium spiny neurons in rat, mouse and guinea pig. However, addition of dopamine in vitro failed to suppress the increased activity in anx/anx striatal neurons. Striatal dopamine and its metabolites, but not norepinephrine, were slightly but significantly lower in anx/anx mice than in normal littermates. We suggest that abnormal dopaminergic transmission may contribute to the anx phenotype.

All of the components of a complete dopamine system are present within the kidney, where dopamine acts as a paracrine substance in the control of sodium excretion. Dopamine receptors can be divided into D(1)-like (D(1) and D(5)) receptors that stimulate adenylyl cyclase and D(2)-like (D(2), D(3), and D(4)) receptors that inhibit adenylyl cyclase. All 5 receptor subtypes are expressed in the kidney, albeit in low copy. Dopamine is synthesized extraneuronally in proximal tubule cells, exported from these cells largely into the tubule lumen, and interacts with D(1)-like receptors to inhibit the Na(+)-H(+) exchanger and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, decreasing tubule sodium reabsorption. During moderate sodium surfeit, dopamine tone at D(1)-like receptors accounts for approximately 50% of sodium excretion. In experimental and human hypertension, 2 renal dopaminergic defects have been described: (1) decreased renal generation of dopamine and (2) a D(1) receptor-G protein coupling defect. Both defects lead to renal sodium retention, and each may play an important role in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension.

We have earlier shown that the renal dopaminergic system failed to respond to high salt (HS) intake in old (24-month-old) Fisher 344 rats (Hypertension 1999;34:666-672). In the present study, intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity and intestinal dopaminergic tonus were evaluated in adult and old Fischer 344 rats during normal salt (NS) and HS intake. Basal intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity (nmol Pi/mg protein/min) in adult rats (142+/-6) was higher than in old Fischer 344 rats (105+/-7). HS intake reduced intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity by 20% (P<0.05) in adult, but not in old rats. Dopamine (1 microM) failed to inhibit intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity in both adult and old Fischer 344 rats (NS and HS diets). In adult animals, co-incubation of pertussis toxin with dopamine (1 microM) produced a significant inhibitory effect in the intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity. L-DOPA and dopamine tissue levels in the intestinal mucosa of adult rats were higher (45+/-9 and 38+/-4 pmol/g) than those in old rats (27+/-9 and 14+/-1 pmol/g). HS diet did not change L-DOPA and DA levels in both adult and old rats. DA/L-DOPA tissue ratios, an indirect measure of dopamine synthesis, were higher in old (1.1+/-0.2) than in adult rats (0.6+/-0.1). Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activity in the intestinal mucosa of old rats was higher than in adult rats. HS diet increased the AADC activity in adult rats, but not in old rats. It is concluded that intestinal dopaminergic tonus in old Fisher 344 rats is higher than in adult rats and is accompanied by lower basal intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity. In old rats, HS diet failed to alter the intestinal dopaminergic tonus or Na+,K+-ATPase activity, whereas in adult rats increases in AADC activity were accompanied by decreases in Na+,K+-ATPase activity. The association between salt intake, increased dopamine formation and inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase at the intestinal level was not as straightforward as that described in renal tissues.

The present study reports on the effects of dopamine on sodium transepithelial transport and Na+,K+-ATPase activity in Caco-2 cells, a human epithelial intestinal cell line which undergoes enterocyte differentiation in culture, and jejunal epithelial cells from 20 day old Wistar rats. Addition of amphotericin B to the mucosal side stimulated Isc in a concentration dependent manner (Caco-2 cells, EC50=0.9 [0.5, 1.7] microM; rat jejunum, EC50=7.4 [0.8; 70.1] microM). The presence of 1 microM dopamine did not change the effect of amphotericin B in Caco-2 cells, but produced a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the maximal effect of amphotericin B in the rat jejunum. Dopamine (1 microM), added to the serosal side, did not change the Isc profile in Caco-2 cells, but produced a significant increase in the rat jejunum. This effect was antagonized by SKF 83566 (1 microM), but not S-sulpiride (1 microM), and was mimicked by SKF 38393 (10 nM), but not by quinerolane (10 nM). Basal Na+,K+-ATPase activity (in nmol Pi mg protein(-1) min(-1)) in Caco-2 cells (49.5+/-0.2) was similar to that observed in isolated rat jejunal epithelial cells (52.3+/-3.4). Dopamine (1 microM) significantly (P<0.05) decreased Na+,K+-ATPase activity in rat jejunal epithelial cells, but failed to inhibit Na+,K+-ATPase in Caco-2 cells. This effect of dopamine was antagonized by SKF 83566 (1 microM), but not S-sulpiride (1 microM), and was mimicked by SKF 38393 (10 nM), but not by quinerolane (10 nM). The specific binding of [3H]-Sch 23390 to the rat intestinal mucosa was saturable with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 2.4 (0.4; 4.5) nM and maximum receptor density of 259.8+/-32.6 fmol/mg protein. No significant specific binding of [3H]-Sch 23390 was observed in membranes from Caco-2 cells. In conclusion, the results obtained show that D1-like receptor mediated effects of dopamine in the rat jejunum on sodium absorption are absent in Caco-2 cells, most probably because this cell line does not express D1-like dopamine receptors, which ultimately are responsible for the inhibitory effect of the amine upon intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase.

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.

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.

In normal humans, plasma dopamine levels rise during head-out water immersion or saline intravenous infusion. Dopamine inhibits Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the proximal tubule and blunts aldosterone secretion leading to increased diuresis and natriuresis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of endogenous dopaminergic activity in the intrarenal sodium handling in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis. We studied nine healthy controls and 12 patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis during a normosodic diet for (1) dopaminergic activity, as measured by the incremental aldosterone responses 30 and 60 min after intravenous metoclopramide administration; (2) basal plasma levels of active renin and aldosterone; (3) 4-hr renal clearance of lithium (an index of fluid delivery to the distal tubule), creatinine, sodium, and potassium, first without and then with dopaminergic blockade with intravenous metoclopramide. The patients displayed greater endogenous dopaminergic activity, evidenced by higher incremental aldosterone responses compared with controls (+30 min: 160.2 +/- 68.8 vs 83.6 +/- 35.2 pg/ml, P < 0.01; +60 min: 140.5 +/- 80.3 vs 36.8 +/- 39.1 pg/ml, P < 0.01, respectively). In spite of this, patients and controls did not show significantly different basal aldosterone plasma levels, delivery of sodium to the distal nephron, or urinary excretion of sodium. In both groups the dopaminergic blockade with metoclopramide determined no change in sodium and potassium urinary excretion, but it caused a fall of the fluid and sodium delivery from the proximal tubule to the distal nephron among the patients (from 30.7 +/- 9.3 to 14.4 +/- 4.5 ml/min, P < 0.001; and from 4.25 +/- 1.30 to 2.00 +/- 0.64 meq/min, P < 0.001, respectively). In this group the natriuresis was maintained due to a reduction of the reabsorbed fraction of the distal sodium delivery (from 97.5 +/- 1.9% to 89.8 +/- 12.4%, P < 0.05). In conclusions, compensated cirrhotic patients display an increased endogenous dopaminergic activity compared with controls. This function is critical in maintaining the delivery of sodium to the distal nephron.

The present study evaluated the importance of the association between Na+-K+-ATPase and the actin cytoskeleton on dopamine-induced inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity. The approach used measures the transepithelial transport of Na+ in monolayers of opossum kidney (OK) cells, when the Na+ delivered to Na+-K+-ATPase was increased at the saturating level by amphotericin B. The maximal amphotericin B (1.0 microg mL-1) induced increase in short-circuit current (Isc) was prevented by ouabain (100 microM) or removal of apical Na+. Dopamine (1 microM) applied from the apical side significantly decreased (29 +/- 5% reduction) the amphotericin B-induced increase in Isc, this being prevented by the D1-like receptor antagonist SKF 83566 (1 microM) and the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine (1 microM). Exposure of OK cells to cytochalasin B (1 microM) or cytochalasin D (1 microM), inhibitors of actin polymerization, from both cell sides reduced by 31 +/- 4% and 36 +/- 3% the amphotericin B-induced increase in Isc and abolished the inhibitory effect of apical dopamine (1 microM), but not that of the PKC activator phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu; 100 nM). Colchicine (1 microM) failed to alter the inhibitory effects of dopamine. The relationship between Na+-K+-ATPase and the concentration of extracellular Na+ showed a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 44.1 +/- 13.7 mM and a Vmax of 49.6 +/- 4.8 microA cm-2 in control monolayers. In the presence of apical dopamine (1 microM) or cytochalasin B (1 microM) Vmax values were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced without changes in Km values. These results are the first, obtained in live cells, showing that the PKC-dependent inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity by dopamine requires the integrity of the association between actin cytoskeleton and Na+-K+-ATPase.

The natriuretic hormone dopamine and the antinatriuretic hormone noradrenaline, acting on alpha-adrenergic receptors, have been shown to bidirectionally modulate the activity of renal tubular Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphate (ATPase). Here we have examined whether intracellular sodium concentration influences the effects of these bidirectional forces on the state of phosphorylation of Na+,K+-ATPase. Proximal tubules dissected from rat kidney were incubated with dopamine or the alpha-adrenergic agonist, oxymetazoline, and transiently permeabilized in a medium where sodium concentration ranged between 5 and 70 mM. The variations of sodium concentration in the medium had a proportional effect on intracellular sodium. Dopamine and protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylate the catalytic subunit of rat Na+,K+-ATPase on the Ser23 residue. The level of PKC induced Na+,K+-ATPase phosphorylation was determined using an antibody that only recognizes Na+,K+-ATPase, which is not phosphorylated on its PKC site. Under basal conditions Na+,K+-ATPase was predominantly in its phosphorylated state. When intracellular sodium was increased, Na+,K+-ATPase was predominantly in its dephosphorylated state. Phosphorylation of Na+,K+-ATPase by dopamine was most pronounced when intracellular sodium was high, and dephosphorylation by oxymetazoline was most pronounced when intracellular sodium was low. The oxymetazoline effect was mimicked by the calcium ionophore A23187. An inhibitor of the calcium-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, increased the state of Na+,K+-ATPase phosphorylation. The results imply that phosphorylation of renal Na+,K+-ATPase activity is modulated by the level of intracellular sodium and that this effect involves PKC and calcium signalling pathways. The findings may have implication for the regulation of salt excretion and sodium homeostasis.

Short-term mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume (HVT) causes mild to moderate lung injury and impairs active Na+ transport and lung liquid clearance in rats. Dopamine (DA) enhances active Na+ transport in normal rat lungs by increasing Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the alveolar epithelium. We examined whether DA would increase alveolar fluid reabsorption in rats ventilated with HVT for 40 min compared with those ventilated with low tidal volume (LVT) and with nonventilated rats. Similar to previous reports, HVT ventilation decreased alveolar fluid reabsorption by ~50% (P < 0.001). DA increased alveolar fluid reabsorption in nonventilated control rats (by ~60%), LVT ventilated rats (by approximately 55%), and HVT ventilated rats (by ~200%). In parallel studies, DA increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in cultured rat alveolar epithelial type II cells (ATII). Depolymerization of cellular microtubules by colchicine inhibited the effect of DA on HVT ventilated rats as well as on Na+-K+-ATPase activity in ATII cells. Neither DA nor colchicine affected the short-term Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1- and beta1-subunit mRNA steady-state levels or total alpha1- and beta1-subunit protein abundance in ATII cells. Thus we reason that DA improved alveolar fluid reabsorption in rats ventilated with HVT by upregulating the Na+-K+-ATPase function in alveolar epithelial cells.
