In the present paper, the modulation of the basolateral membrane (BLM) Na+ -ATPase activity of inner cortex from pig kidney by angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) was evaluated. Ang II and Ang-(1-7) inhibit the Na+ -ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner (from 10(-11) to 10(-5) M), with maximal effect obtained at 10(-7) M for both peptides. Pharmacological evidences demonstrate that the inhibitory effects of Ang II and Ang-(1-7) are mediated by AT2 receptor: The effect of both polypeptides is completely reversed by 10(-8) M PD 123319, a selective AT2 receptor antagonist, but is not affected by either (10(-12) - 10(-5) M) losartan or (10(-10)-10(-7) M) A779, selective antagonists for AT1 and AT(1-7) receptors, respectively. The following results suggest that a PTX-insensitive, cholera toxin (CTX)-sensitive G protein/adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)/PKA pathway is involved in this process: (1) the inhibitory effect of both peptides is completely reversed by 10(-9) M guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDPbetaS; an inhibitor of the G protein activity), and mimicked by 10(-10) M guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS; an activator of the G protein activity); (2) the effects of both peptides are mimicked by CTX but are not affected by PTX; (3) Western blot analysis reveals the presence of the Gs protein in the isolated basolateral membrane fraction; (4) (10(-10)-10(-6) M) cAMP has a similar and non-additive effect to Ang II and Ang-(1-7); (5) PKA inhibitory peptide abolishes the effects of Ang II and Ang-(1-7); and (6) both angiotensins stimulate PKA activity.

The influence of intracellular and extracellular angiotensin II (Ang II) on the L-type calcium current of cardiomyocytes isolated from cardiomyopathic hamsters was investigated. The results indicated that Ang II (10(-8) mmol/L), added to the bath, increased the peak inward calcium current (I(Ca)) density by 37+/-3.4% (P<0.05), an effect that depends on the activation of protein kinase C. Intracellular administration of the same dose of Ang II (10(-8) mmol/L) also elicited an increase of peak I(Ca) density but enhanced the rate of I(Ca) inactivation, an effect not seen with extracellular Ang II. Moreover, in control animals, no change in the rate of I(Ca) inactivation was seen with intracellular Ang II. Thapsigargin (1 micromol/L), a potent inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ATPase, which depletes the SR, decreased the rate of I(Ca) inactivation elicited by intracellular Ang II, although the cytoplasmic calcium concentration was highly buffered with 10 mmol/L EGTA. These findings might indicate that intracellular Ang II releases calcium from the SR and inactivates I(Ca). The effect of intracellular Ang II on peak I(Ca) was not altered by extracellular losartan (10(-7) mmol/L), supporting the notion that the peptide acted intracellularly. Other studies showed that intracellular Ang I administration (10(-8) mmol/L) enhanced the peak I(Ca) density and the rate of I(Ca) inactivation, an effect that was reduced by intracellular enalaprilat (10(-8) mmol/L). Moreover, intracellular enalaprilat by itself reduced the peak I(Ca) density. These observations might indicate that endogenous Ang II is contributing to I(Ca) modulation in the failing heart.

We have previously reported that angiotensin II (Ang II) protects cortical neurons from chemical-induced hypoxia through activation of the angiotensin type 2 (AT(2)) receptor. Here, we show in mouse primary neuronal cultures that the AT(2) receptor neuroprotection results from the activation of the delayed rectifier K(+) channel as well as the involvement of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) and Na(+)/K(+) ATPase (ATPase). Roles of the K(+) channel, NCX and ATPase were determined using the specific blockers alpha-dendrotoxin, KB-R7943 and ouabain, respectively. Sodium azide (10mM) induced apoptosis in 40% of neurons. Inhibition of the AT(1) receptor with losartan (1 microM) facilitated angiotensin II mediated neuroprotection by reducing sodium azide-induced apoptosis 61.8 +/- 5.6%, while inhibition of the AT(2) receptor with PD123319 (1 microM) showed no neuroprotection. These results suggest that angiotensin II neuroprotection is mediated through the AT(2) receptor and requires inhibition of the AT(1) receptor in order to facilitate its effect. To determine the roles of delayed rectifier K(+) channel, NCX and ATPase cultures were pretreated with alpha-dendrotoxin (10nM), KB-R7943 (100 nM) and ouabain (100 nM), which significantly attenuated AT(2) receptor mediated neuroprotection. These findings further suggest that the mechanism of AT(2) receptor mediated neuroprotection is coupled to activation of the delayed rectifier K(+) channel, NCX and ATPase.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) increases the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in different cell types. In this study, we investigate the effect of Ang II on the Ca2+ ATPase of purified basolateral membranes of kidney proximal tubules. This enzyme pumps Ca2+ out of the cytosol in a reaction coupled to ATP hydrolysis, and it is responsible for the fine-tuned regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ activity. Ca2+-ATPase activity is inhibited by picomolar concentrations of Ang II, with maximal inhibition being attained at approximately 50% of the control values. The presence of raising concentrations (10(-11) to 10(-7) M) of losartan (an AT1-receptor antagonist) or PD123319 (an AT2-receptor antagonist) gradually reverts inhibition by Ang II. Both the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U-73122 (10(-6) M) and the inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) staurosporine (10(-7) M) prevent inhibition of the Ca2+ pump by Ang II. Incubation of the previously isolated membranes with a PKC activator-the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (10(-8) M)-mimics the inhibition found with Ang II, and the effects of the compounds are not additive. Taken as a whole, these results indicate the Ang II inhibits Ca2+-ATPase by activation of a PKC system present in primed state in these membranes after binding of the hormone to losartan- and PD123319-sensitive receptors coupled to a PLC. Therefore, inhibition of the basolateral membrane Ca2+-ATPase by kinase-mediated phosphorylation appears to be one of the pathways by which Ang II promotes an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of proximal tubule cells.

In previous papers we showed that Ang II increases the proximal tubule Na+-ATPase activity through AT1/PKC pathway [L.B. Rangel, C. Caruso-Neves, L.S. Lara, A.G. Lopes, Angiotensin II stimulates renal proximal tubule Na+-ATPase activity through the activation of protein kinase C. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1564 (2002) 310-316, L.B.A. Rangel, A.G. Lopes, L.S. Lara, C. Caruso-Neves, Angiotensin II stimulates renal proximal tubule Na+)-ATPase activity through the activation of protein kinase C. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1564 (2002) 310-316]. In the present paper, we study the involvement of PI-PLCbeta on the stimulatory effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on the proximal tubule Na+-ATPase activity. Western blotting assays, using a polyclonal antibody for PI-PLCbeta, show a single band of about 150 KDa, which correspond to PI-PLCbeta isoforms. Ang II induces a rapid decrease in PIP2 levels, a PI-PLCbeta substrate, being the maximal effect observed after 30 s incubation. This effect of Ang II is completely abolished by 5 x 10(-8) M U73122, a specific inhibitor of PI-PLCbeta. In this way, the effect of 10(-8) M Ang II on the proximal tubule basolateral membrane (BLM) Na+-ATPase activity is completely abolished by 5 x 10(-8) M U73122. The increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) concentration, an product of PI-PLCbeta, from 0.1 to 10 nM raises the Na+-ATPase activity from 6.1+/-0.2 to 13.1+/-1.8 nmol Pi mg(-1) min(-1). This effect is similar and non-additive to that observed with Ang II. Furthermore, the stimulatory effect of 10 nM DAG is completely reversed by 10(-8) M calphostin C (Calph C), an inhibitor of PKC. Taken together these data indicate that Ang II stimulates the Na+-ATPase activity of proximal tubule BLM through a PI-PLCbeta/PKC pathway.

Metabolic alkalosis is a common feature of hypokalemic hypertensive syndromes associated with angiotensin II excess. The alkalosis-generating effect of angiotensin II is usually ascribed to its stimulatory effect on aldosterone secretion, a hormone that upregulates collecting duct hydrogen ion secretion. We studied the effect of angiotensin II infusions on the expression of B1 and a4 protein, subunits of the renal H+-ATPase in adrenalectomized rats. Adrenalectomized rats were given either angiotensin II or vehicle for 7 days via osmotic mini-pumps. H+-ATPase B1 protein expression was evaluated by Western blot analysis in isolated medulla and cortex plasma membrane preparations from one kidney, whereas the contralateral kidney was used for immunostaining. By Western blotting, the relative abundance of B1 protein was 2-fold higher in renal medulla membranes from rats with intact adrenal glands (sham surgery) than from adrenalectomized rats (219+/-47%, n=12; P<0.05). In contrast to renal medulla, adrenalectomy did not significantly alter the relative abundance of B1 protein in renal cortex. Angiotensin II also did not significantly alter the relative levels of B1 protein in the cortex, but it increased it significantly in renal medullary membranes (231+/-56%, n=8; P<0.005). Moreover, enhanced H+-ATPase B1 subunit protein immunoreactivity was found in medullary collecting duct segments of rats infused with angiotensin II. In contrast to B1, expression of a4, another subunit of the H+-ATPase was not altered by adrenalectomy or angiotensin II. We conclude that adrenalectomy decreases whereas angiotensin II increases H+-ATPase B1 subunit expression in medullary, but not in cortical collecting ducts. By increasing the relative abundance of the B1 subunit of H+-ATPase in the collecting duct, angiotensin II excess may lead to increased hydrogen ion secretion and thus metabolic alkalosis-a common feature of hypertensive syndromes associated with angiotensin II overactivity.

In the present paper, we report the modulation of the Angiotensin II (Ang II)-stimulated Na+-ATPase activity of the proximal tubule basolateral membrane by adenosine (Ado). Preincubation of isolated basolateral membrane with 10(-8)M Ang II increases the Na+-ATPase activity from 7.5+/-0.3 (control) to 14.6+/-0.9 nmol Pi x mg(-1)x min(-1)nmol Pi x mg(-1) x min(-1) (p<0.05). Incubation of Ang II-stimulated enzyme with 10(-6)M Ado, in the presence of the A1 receptor antagonist DPCPX (10(-6)M), completely reverses the Ang II-induced effect bringing the Na+-ATPase activity to the basal level. The following evidences demonstrate involvement of the A2 receptor/Gs protein/adenylyl cyclase/PKA signaling pathway in the inhibitory effect induced by Ado on the Ang II-stimulated Na+-ATPase activity in the presence of the DPCPX: 1) the inhibitory effect of Ado is abolished by the A2 receptor selective antagonist DMPX (10(-8)M); 2) the effect induced by Ado is blocked by 10(-8)M GDPbetaS and mimicked by 10(-9)M cholera toxin and 10(-8)M GTPgammaS; 3) the stimulatory effect of Ang II is reduced by 10(-6)M forskolin, an activator of adenylyl cyclase, or 10(-6)M cAMP; 4) Ado stimulates PKA activity; 5) the inhibitory effect induced by this nucleoside is reversed by the PKA inhibitor peptide.

Angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, also participates in the regulation of renal sodium and water excretion, not only via a myriad of effects on renal hemodynamics, glomerular filtration rate, and regulation of aldosterone secretion, but also via direct effects on renal tubule transport. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates H+ secretion and HCO3- reabsorption in both proximal and distal tubules and regulates H+-ATPase activity in intercalated cells of the collecting tubule. Different results regarding the effect of angiotensin II on bicarbonate reabsorption and proton secretion have been reported at the functional level, depending on the angiotensin II concentration and tubule segment studied. It is likely that interstitial angiotensin II is more important in regulating hemodynamic and transport functions than circulating angiotensin II. In proximal tubules, stimulation of bicarbonate reabsorption, Na+/H+-exchange, and Na+/HCO3- cotransport has been found using low concentrations (<10(-9) M), while inhibition of bicarbonate reabsorption has been documented using concentrations higher than 10(-8) M. Evidence for the regulation of H+-ATPase activity in vivo and in vitro by trafficking/exocytosis has been provided. An additional level of H+-ATPase regulation via protein synthesis may be important as well. Recently, we have shown that both aldosterone and angiotensin II provide such a mechanism of regulation in vivo at the level of the medullary collecting tubule. Interestingly, in this part of the nephron, the effects of aldosterone and angiotensin II are not sodium dependent, whereas in the cortical collecting duct, both aldosterone and angiotensin II, by contrast, affect H+ secretion by sodium-dependent mechanisms.

Angiotensin II AT2 receptors act as a functional antagonist for the AT1 receptors in various tissues. We previously reported that activation of the renal AT2 receptors promotes natriuresis and diuresis; however, the mechanism is not known. The present study was designed to investigate whether activation of AT2 receptors affects the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA), an active tubular sodium transporter, in the proximal tubules isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. The AT2 receptor agonist CGP-42112 (10(-10)-10(-7) M) produced a dose-dependent inhibition of NKA activity (9-38%); the inhibition was attenuated by the presence of the AT2 receptor antagonist PD-123319 (1 microM), suggesting the involvement of the AT2 receptors. The AT1 receptor antagonist losartan (1 microM) did not affect the CGP-42112 (100 nM)-induced inhibition of NKA activity. The presence of guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ (10 microM) and the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 100 microM) abolished the CGP-42112 (100 nM)-induced NKA inhibition. ANG II (100 nM), in the presence of losartan, significantly inhibited NKA activity; the inhibition was attenuated by PD-123319. CGP-42112 also, in a dose-dependent manner, stimulated NO production (approximately 0-230%) and cGMP accumulation (approximately 25-100%). The CGP-42112 (100 nM)-induced NO and cGMP increases were abolished by the AT2 receptor antagonist PD-123319, ODQ, and L-NAME. The data suggest that the activation of the AT2 receptor via stimulation of the NO/cGMP pathway causes inhibition of NKA activity in the proximal tubules. This phenomenon provides a plausible mechanism responsible for the AT2 receptor-mediated natriuresis-diuresis in rodents.

Renal angiotensin II (AII) is suggested to play a role in the enhanced sodium reabsorption that causes a shift in pressure natriuresis in obesity related hypertension; however, the mechanism is not known. Therefore, to assess the influence of AII on tubular sodium transport, we determined the effect of AII on the Na+, K+-ATPase activity (NKA), an active transporter regulated by the AT1 receptor activity, in the isolated proximal tubules of lean and obese Zucker rats. Also, we determined the levels of the tubular AT1 receptor and associated signal transducing G proteins, as the initial signaling components that mediate the effects of AII on Na+, K+-ATPase activity. In the isolated proximal tubules, AII produced greater stimulation of the NKA activity in obese compared with lean rats. Determination of the AT1 receptors by Scatchard analysis of the [125I] Sar-Ang II binding and Western blot analysis in the basolateral (BLM) and brush border membrane (BBM) revealed a modest but significant increase (23%) in the AT1 receptor number mainly in the BLM of obese compared with lean rats. The AII affinity for AT1 receptors, as determined by IC50 values of AII to displace [125I] Sar-Ang II binding in BLM and BBM were similar in lean and obese rats. Western blot analysis revealed significant increases in Gialpha1, Gialpha2, Gialpha3, and Gq/11alpha in BLM and Gialpha1, Gialpha3, and Gq/11alpha in BBM of obese as compared with lean rats. The increase in the levels of the AT1 receptor and G proteins, mainly in the BLM, may be contributing to the enhanced AII-induced activation of NKA in the proximal tubules of obese rats. This phenomenon, in part, may be responsible for the increased sodium reabsorption and the development of hypertension in obese Zucker rats.
