The Na,K-ATPase activity of erythrocyte membranes is markedly increased in normal-renin essential hypertensives. A temporal shift of the chronobiology of the erythrocyte-membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase in these patients is described. The disorder causes a loss of synchronism between the circadian rhythms of aldosterone and Na,K-ATPase. Such uncoupling phenomenon may explain the inversion of the day/night sodium excretion ratio and other disturbances of sodium metabolism found in essential hypertensives.

Primary monolayer cultures of polarized epithelia were derived from single cortical collecting tubules (CCT) of the mammalian kidney (rabbit). The expression of Na-K-ATPase activity (mol 10(-15)/min.cell) and of the transepithelial voltage (VT) in monolayers on membranes was measured in response to defined hormonal supplements of the nephron culture medium (NCM). Hormones were: triiodothyronine (T3; 10(-11) M), dexamethasone (10(-8) M), and aldosterone (10(-9) M). Control was NCM plus fetal calf serum (FCS; 3% v/v). Data are mean (SEM). Na-K-ATPase activity was 10.4 (6.2) in control (n = 27); 18.8 (5.2) in T3 (n = 35); 21.2 (5.5) in dexamethasone (n = 26), and 30.9 (6.5) in aldosterone (n = 24). VT (mV) was 4.2 (3.2) in control (n = 12); 12.7 (3.7) in T3 (n = 12); 16.8 (2.5) in dexamethasone (n = 12), and 28.4 (3.6) in aldosterone (n = 14). Data are evidence that thyroid and corticosteroid hormones selectively induce the postmitotic expression of the sodium carrier activity and other functions related to vectorial solute transport in this polarized epithelium.

Intracellular sodium has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes including regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity, mitogen-induced cell growth, and proliferation and stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase by aldosterone. In renal epithelial cells a rise in sodium uptake across the apical membrane increases intracellular sodium concentration, which in turn stimulates the turnover rate of Na+-K+-ATPase and thereby enhances sodium efflux across the basolateral membrane. A prolonged increase in sodium uptake causes dramatic hypertrophy and hyperplasia and a rise in the quantity of Na+-K+-ATPase in the basolateral membrane. These structural and functional changes occur in the kidney in the absence of alterations in plasma aldosterone and vasopressin levels. Several mitogens induce growth and proliferation by initiating a cascade of events, which include a rise in intracellular sodium. Accordingly, an increase in the sodium concentration within renal epithelial cells may elicit a "mitogen-like" effect by initiating the cascade at the sodium step, even in the absence of a mitogen. A rise in cell sodium may also stimulate the production of autocrine growth factors that directly or indirectly regulate cell growth and proliferation, by modifying the response to mitogens or to changes in the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid. In this review we will examine the evidence that supports a role for intracellular sodium in regulating these cellular events in renal epithelial cells.

An attempt was made to determine whether or not the steroid hormones, aldosterone and betamethasone, increased the Na-K-ATPase activity and the surface density of baso-lateral cell membranes in the juxtamedullary proximal convoluted tubules of young and adult mice. The results showed that aldosterone and betamethasone increase the enzyme activity in young mice but not in adult mice. However, the surface density of the baso-lateral cell membranes did not increase either in the young or in the adult mice. Further, the induction ratio for the Na-K-ATPase activity did not differ between the two hormone-treated groups in young mice. The results suggest that a difference in hormone sensitivity exists between the proximal convoluted tubular cells of young mice and those of adult mice.

Mineralocorticoids (MC) have a dual effect on salt intake: in adrenalectomized rats, they reduce previously elevated salt intake; and in intact rats a high MC dose increases salt intake. We have studied the activity of (Na+K)-ATPase and [3H]ouabain binding in rats treated with deoxycorticosterone (DOC) in doses that elicited a salt appetite. Brains were removed from control and treated animals, and 20 different areas were punched out from brain slices cut every 300 microns. DOC treatment significantly reduced (Na+K)-ATPase activity in the lateral hypothalamic area, anterior amygdaloid and lateral amygdaloid nuclei, while increasing it in the periventricular gray matter; changes in other regions were not significant. Binding of [3H]ouabain was not modified by DOC treatment. In parallel experiments, we determined MC receptors in adrenalectomized rats. Binding of [3H]aldosterone was preferentially found in hippocampus, followed by lateral septum, anterior, posterior and lateral amygdaloid areas, with lower levels in other regions. However, there was no correlation between [3H]aldosterone binding and (Na+K)-ATPase activity in brain punches from either control or DOC-treated rats. Further experiments are needed to ascertain if (Na+K)-ATPase changes in discrete areas of the brain containing moderate levels of mineralocorticoid receptors, are related to the behavioral effects of DOC.

High-protein intake enhances maximal urinary concentrating ability and suppresses tubuloglomerular feedback activity in a manner that correlates with enhanced salt reabsorption in the loop of Henle. In this article we describe studies designed to localize the site at which protein intake alters loop sodium uptake (JNa) in rats fed diets containing either 6% or 40% protein for approximately 8 to 10 days. In vivo microperfusion demonstrated that luminal bumetanide (10(-5) mol/L) fully reversed the stimulation of JNa by high-protein intake, thus suggesting that high-protein intake stimulates salt transport in the thick ascending limb. In vitro studies supported this possibility, showing that high-protein intake significantly increased sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (NaK ATPase) activity in homogenates of outer renal medulla (68%) and in dissected medullary thick ascending limbs (87%). This effect was partly selective, since high-protein intake did not alter NaK ATPase activity in superficial renal cortex, had a smaller and statistically insignificant effect on NaK ATPase activity in dissected pars rectae, and did not affect magnesium ATPase activity in any tissue. Furthermore, this effect did not appear to require hypertrophy, since high-protein intake for approximately 8 days did not detectably alter the relative amounts of tissue protein and DNA in either medulla or cortex. A last series of studies demonstrated that high-protein intake increased plasma aldosterone levels. We conclude that increased protein intake stimulates salt reabsorption predominantly in the thick ascending limb, an effect that is partly selective; does not appear to require hypertrophy; and may be related to increased plasma aldosterone levels.

Direct dose-dependent effects of angiotensin II on renal tubular sodium reabsorption have been demonstrated. Alterations in tubular sodium reabsorption may occur via modulation of renal Na,K-ATPase activity. Thus, these experiments were undertaken to ascertain whether angiotensin II could influence renal cortical Na,K-ATPase activity. Angiotensin II, 495 ng/microliters/h, or vehicle (controls) was infused for 24 h via miniosmotic pumps 48 h after rats were adrenalectomized and implanted with osmotic pumps containing 12.5 micrograms/microliters corticosterone (Treatment I) or both corticosterone and 0.2 microgram/microliter aldosterone (Treatment II), and in rats receiving 3% NaCl in their food (sodium loaded, Treatment III). Rats receiving Treatments I and III received saline to drink. Renal cortical microsomal membranes were prepared, and the effects of angiotensin II infusion on the K1/2 and Vmax for Na, K, and ATP determined. Angiotensin II infusions were associated with (i) a decrease (P less than 0.001) in the K1/2 for Na activation of Na,K-ATPase from 14 +/- 3 to 6 +/- 1 (n = 4 experiments), 16 +/- 1 to 12 +/- 1 (n = 5), and 12 +/- 3 to 7 +/- 1 (n = 5) mM (means +/- SE) for treatments I, II, and III, respectively; (ii) no changes in the K1/2 for K activation or the Km for ATP; (iii) no changes in the Vmax for Na, K, or ATP; and (iv) no change in Mg-ATPase activity. We conclude that angiotensin II infusion is associated with a decrease in the K1/2 of renal cortical Na,K-ATPase activity for sodium. This action of angiotensin II on the enzyme activity may contribute to the regulation of tubular sodium transport.

1. Hypertension is a complication of autologous bone marrow transplantation when therapy includes multiple alkylating agents. We have sought to identify the factors underlying this hypertension. We measured weight, serum creatinine, plasma renin activity, aldosterone and digoxin-like immunoreactive factor (DLIF), by digoxin radioimmunoassay, in 18 patients. Plasma catecholamines were also measured in five patients. 2. Of the 18 patients studied, 15 became hypertensive. The variable most consistently associated with these individuals' hypertension was DLIF activity which was increased in 14 of the 15 hypertensive patients (P = 0.055, Fisher exact test). Serum creatinine was increased at some point in seven of the 15 hypertensive patients, weight was increased in five and plasma renin activity and aldosterone were increased in one. Catecholamines were not increased in any of the five patients in which they were measured. 3. The association between changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and changes in DLIF for the group as a whole was assessed by analysing one data pair per patient, representing the maximal MAP. This correlation was significant (r = 0.75, P = 0.001). 4. Within individual patients, changes in MAP and changes in serum DLIF concentrations were significantly correlated (r greater than 0.50, P less than 0.05) in six of 15 hypertensive patients. 5. Digitalis-like factor (DLF) was measured by inhibition of (Na+,K+)-adenosine 5'-triphosphatase in five patients and DLF and DLIF were significantly correlated (r = 0.081, P = 0.0001). DLF and MAP were also significantly correlated (r = 0.59, P = 0.002). 6. This represents the first longitudinal study of the relationship between DLIF and blood pressure in hypertensive individuals, and the results suggest that DLIF may contribute to the increased blood pressure in some of these subjects.

The present study aimed to elucidate the role of Na, K-ATPase inhibitor in renal sodium metabolism in essential hypertension. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate(HR), urine volume (UV), urinary excretion of sodium (UNaV), endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), plasma renin activity(PRA) plasma aldosterone concentration(PAC), plasma noradrenaline concentration (PNA) and urinary excretion of noradrenaline(UNA) were measured before and after intravenous injection of ouabain (0.1 mg/m2.BSA) in 12 normotensive(NT) and 22 mild-to-moderate essential hypertensive subjects(EHT). Following ouabain injection, UV, UNaV FENa significantly increased, but PRA decreased, in both NT and EHT. MAP, HR, Ccr, PNA, and UNA did not change significantly in either group. On the other hand, a significant decrease in PAC was observed in NT, but not in EHT. The changes of UNaV and FENa were significantly attenuated in EHT as compared to NT. No significant difference in change of MAP, HR, UV, Ccr, PNA, UNA, or PRA was demonstrated between NT and EHT. A significantly positive correlation was found between delta UNaV and delta FENa in both NT and EHT, while no significant correlation was observed between delta UNaV and delta MAP, delta UV, delta Ccr, delta PRA, delta PAC, delta PNA and delta UNA in either group. These results suggest that 1) Na, K-ATPase inhibitor clearly augments natriuresis by suppression of sodium reabsorption in renal tubules, 2) since this augmentation was attenuated, there is an elevation of endogenous Na, K-ATPase inhibitor(s) should be considered in EHT, and 3) an increase of the inhibitor might participate to the hypertensive mechanism in EHT.

Aldosterone (300 nM) induces a 4-fold increase over a 6-hr stimulation in A6 kidney cells from Xenopus laevis in the abundance of mRNA beta 1 and a 2-fold in that of mRNA alpha 1 coding for each Na,K-ATPase subunit, which is in agreement with a previous report. After a 3-hr stimulation already, aldosterone elicited a significant increase of mRNA beta 1 (2.51-fold +/- 0.47, n = 3, P less than 0.05) and a nonsignificant increase of mRNA alpha 1 (1.26-fold +/- 0.30, n = 3, NS). Increasing doses of cycloheximide up to 3 micrograms ml-1 led to 90% inhibition of protein synthesis, but failed to block the differential effect of aldosterone on mRNA abundance over a 6-h incubation period. The rate of transcription was measured by a nuclear run-on assay. The basal rate of mRNA alpha 1 transcription exceeded that of mRNA beta 1 by 2.8-fold. Aldosterone (300 nM) stimulated the transcription of the two subunit genes. Fifteen minutes after aldosterone addition there was a significant and parallel increase in the rate of transcription of the alpha 1 subunit (1.98-fold +/- 0.20, n = 3, P less than 0.02) and that of the beta 1 subunit (2.13 +/- 0.32, n = 3, P less than 0.04). After a 45-min stimulation period the transcription rate of the alpha 1 subunit remained at the level observed at 15 min (1.84-fold +/- 0.14, n = 4, P less than 0.01), while the transcription rate of the beta 1 subunit increased further (2.89-fold +/- 0.38, n = 4, P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
