Parathyroid hormone (PTH) raises cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in isolated or cultured renal proximal tubule cells. The pathways through which this action is mediated are not fully delineated. This study explored these pathways utilizing fura 2. [Ca2+]i of freshly prepared renal proximal tubular cells increased from 150 +/- 3.6 to 281 +/- 9.0 nM after the exposure to 10(-7) M angiotensin II, which served as a positive control. Both PTH-(1-84) and PTH-(1-34) produced a dose-dependent rise in [Ca2+]i. The effects of both moieties were similar up to 10(-7) M, but with higher doses the rise in [Ca2+]i with PTH-(1-84) was greater (P < 0.01) than with PTH-(1-34). This effect of the hormone occurred in the presence or absence of calcium in the media, but the rise in [Ca2+]i was significantly greater in the presence of calcium. The PTH-induced rise in [Ca2+]i was markedly inhibited by PTH antagonist [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bPTH-(7-34)-NH2 (bPTH is bovine PTH), verapamil, or nifedipine. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, increased [Ca2+]i of cells, but its effect was less than PTH. Staurosporine abolished the TPA effect and partially inhibited that of PTH. A G protein activator raised [Ca2+]i, whereas a G protein inhibitor and pertussis toxin partially blocked the effect of PTH. Sodium or chloride channel blockers or sodium-free media did not modify the effect of PTH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels play an important role in Ca2+ signal transduction and may be regulated by mechanisms other than a direct effect of Ca2+. Inside-out patches of the apical membrane of confluent transformed rabbit cortical collecting duct cells cultured on collagen were subjected to patch clamp analysis. Two types of K+ channel, of medium and high conductance, were observed. The latter channel was characterized by a K+/Na+ permeability ratio of 10, an inwardly rectified current, a conductance of 80 pS at 0 mV, and an open probability dependent on both voltage and Ca2+. Guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) but not a guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) analogue, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP), or inosine 5'-triphosphate (ITP), inhibited the activity of this Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel. The inhibitory effect of GTP was dose dependent, with a 50% inhibitory concentration of 10(-5) M in the absence of Mg2+. In the presence of Mg2+ (1 mM), which is required for the binding of GTP to G proteins, the 50% inhibitory concentration decreased to 3 x 10(-12) M. Pertussis toxin or cholera toxin (each at 10 ng/ml) did not prevent the inhibitory effect of GTP. After removal of GTP from the medium bathing an inhibited channel, subsequent application of Ca2+ failed to activate the channel. Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels of smooth muscle cells and proximal tubule cells did not respond to GTP. Thus, the Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel in the apical membrane of collecting duct cells is inhibited by GTP, which appears to exert its effect via a G protein that is insensitive to both cholera and pertussis toxins.

Angiotensin II has been reported to stimulate the proximal tubule Na-H antiporter by inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, and possibly by an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-independent mechanism. We examined the effect of angiotensin II on Na-H antiporter activity (JNa-H) in opossum kidney (OKP) cells, a proximal tubule-like cell line, whose Na-H antiporter resembles that of the proximal tubule apical membrane. We found that angiotensin II regulates JNa-H in a concentration-dependent manner similar to the proximal tubule, with angiotensin II concentrations < 10(-8) M stimulating and > 10(-8) M inhibiting JNa-H. The stimulatory effect of angiotensin II was blocked by 10(-8) M losartan and was pertussis toxin sensitive, suggesting mediation through an angiotensin II (AT1) receptor coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. Acute treatment with 10(-4) M 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP) inhibited JNa-H by 30% and blocked angiotensin II-induced stimulation. However, angiotensin II (10(-12)-10(-6) M) did not inhibit basal, dopamine-stimulated, or forskolin-stimulated cAMP production measured in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). In addition, angiotensin II had no effect on cAMP levels measured in the absence of IBMX. We conclude that angiotensin II at physiological concentrations stimulates JNa-H in OKP cells via a cAMP-independent mechanism mediated by an AT1 receptor and a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein.

We have previously shown that parathyroid hormone (PTH)-(1-34) or its analogue PTH-(3-34) inhibits proximal tubule (PT) Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) activity independently of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate generation. The present study used PT suspensions to investigate the signaling pathway responsible for this hormonal action. PTH-(1-34) and PTH-(3-34) significantly increased the release of arachidonic acid (AA) compared with control tubules, suggesting activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). AA, 10(-6) M, mimicked the inhibition of the pump by 10(-8) M PTH-(3-34), and together were not additive. Eicosatetraynoic acid, 3 microM, a general inhibitor of AA metabolism, blocked the PTH action. Indomethacin, 10 microM, an inhibitor of AA-dependent cyclooxygenase, did not prevent the PTH action, but 2 microM 7-ethoxyresorufin, a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, prevented the PTH effect. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), the main product of P-450 metabolism in PT, inhibited Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity to the same extent as 10(-8) M PTH-(3-34), was not additive with PTH, and was maximally inhibitory at 10(-7) M. To further investigate the signaling pathway responsible for PTH-activated PLA2, we tested the effect of PTH on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). PTH-(1-34), 10(-7) M, did not affect [Ca2+]i, although 10(-8) M angiotensin II promoted a Ca2+ transient. Treatment of PT with pertussis toxin (PTX) did not prevent the PTH action.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Endothelin (ET), a powerful vasoconstrictive peptide, is distributed ubiquitously in various organs, including the vascular endothelium and tubules of the kidney. Although localized more abundantly to the glomerulus and inner medullary collecting duct, ET receptors have been identified in the proximal tubule. The possible effects of ET on proximal tubule transport and the potential role of second messengers in this process have not been described fully. To define the role of ET in proximal tubule transport, renal cortical slices were incubated for 3 min in the presence of various concentrations of ET. Incubation with low concentrations of ET-1 (1 x 10(-9) to 1 x 10(-11) M) within the physiological range stimulated both Na(+)-Pi cotransport and Na+/H+ exchange. Pretreatment with staurosporine (0.6 microM) for 25 min abolished completely the ET-induced effects on Na(+)-Pi cotransport and Na+/H+ exchange. Similarly, preincubation with phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (200 nM) also abolished the effects of ET on these transporters. Incubation with ET decreased significantly intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Intravenous administration of pertussis toxin for 2 days prevented the ET-induced decrease in cAMP and abolished the stimulatory effects of ET on Na(+)-Pi cotransport and Na+/H+ exchange. These findings provide indirect evidence that ET participates in the regulation of proximal tubular Pi and bicarbonate homeostasis. These effects of ET are mediated by activation of protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A.

The alpha 2-adrenergic receptor (alpha 2-AR) is a member of the seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily. In the kidney, the alpha 2-AR is most abundant in the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule where it is important in enhancing Na+ reabsorption via the modulation of Na+/H+ exchange. Radioligand binding and physiological studies suggest that the alpha 2-AR residues primarily on the basolateral surface of these proximal tubule cells in vivo. To investigate the mechanisms underlying alpha 2-AR polarization in epithelial cells, we permanently expressed wild-type and an epitope-tagged version of the alpha 2A-AR in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Using a steady-state surface biotinylation assay, we observe that 80-90% of the alpha 2A-AR in MDCK cell clones is located on the basolateral membrane domain. Immunolocalization studies confirm the biotinylation results and demonstrate that the alpha 2A-AR is actually confined primarily to the lateral domain of the basolateral surface. Metabolic labeling experiments suggest that basolateral polarization of the alpha 2A-AR is achieved by direct targeting of the receptor to the basolateral domain. Targeting of the alpha 2A-AR to the basolateral surface is not perturbed by pertussis toxin-treatment of MDCK cells, suggesting that coupling of the alpha 2A-AR to GTP-binding proteins is not important for receptor polarization.

Receptors for peptide YY (PYY) were identified in the PKSV-PCT renal proximal tubule cell line, derived from transgenic mice (SV40 large T antigen under the control of the rat L-type pyruvate kinase 5'-regulatory sequence). Binding of [125I-Tyr36]monoiodo-PYY ([125I] PYY to cell was specific, saturable, and reversible. The order of potency for peptides for inhibiting [125I]PYY binding was: PYY > neuropeptide Y (NPY) = PYY (13-36) >> pancreatic polypeptide. A single class of receptors was observed with a Kd of 0.37 +/- 0.05 nM and a Bmax of 103 +/- 10 fmol/mg protein. After cross-linking, electrophoresis of covalent [125I]PYY-receptor complexes revealed a single band of M(r) 50,000. PYY receptors were exclusively present at the basolateral membrane surface of polarized cells and were coupled negatively to adenylylcyclase by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. PKSV-PCT cell growth and T antigen expression could be modulated by D-glucose in the medium. PYY receptors were exclusively expressed in proliferative cells cultured in the presence of D-glucose. PYY receptors disappeared in the absence of D-glucose and were expressed again when proliferation was activated by reintroduction of D-glucose. PYY stimulated cell growth (17-26% increase) and promoted [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA (64% increase; ED50 = 5 nM PYY) of cells grown in D-glucose-enriched medium. This latter effect of PYY was largely reversed by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin. These findings suggest that PYY receptors play a role in epithelial cell growth.

A clone PKSV-PCT Cl.10 referred to as Cl.10 was selected from the PKSV-PCT renal proximal tubule cell line which expressed peptide YY (PYY) receptors (Voisin, T., Bens, M., Cluzeaud, F., Vandewalle, A., and Laburthe, M. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 20547-20554). In order to identify G(i) protein(s) coupled to PYY receptors, antisense G alpha i protein RNAs were expressed in Cl.10 cells by transfecting the pcDNA3 vector into which were inserted 39 bases of the 5'-noncoding region of G alpha i2 or G alpha i3 used as specific antisense templates. A Cl.10/alpha i2-clone was selected which displayed a drastic decrease (> 90%) of the expression of G alpha i2 without changes of G alpha i3, G alpha s, and G beta subunits (G alpha i1 is not present in Cl.10 cells) as evidenced by Western blots. When compared to untransfected cells, this clone exhibited: (i) an increase in the dissociation constant of PYY receptors (5.3 versus 0.6 nM) identical to that observed in pertussis toxin-treated untransfected cells; (ii) an absence of inhibition of 125I-PYY binding by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S); and (iii) the failure of PYY to inhibit cAMP levels and to stimulate [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. A clone was also selected which exhibited a specific decrease (> 80%) of G alpha i3 as compared to untransfected cells. The sensitivity to GTP gamma S and the dissociation constant of PYY receptors as well as PYY-mediated inhibition of cAMP were identical to those observed in untransfected cells. These findings support an exclusive coupling of PYY receptors to G alpha i2.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent regulator of proximal tubule functions, including transport, metabolism, and cell proliferation. The opossum kidney (OK) cell line is a useful model of renal proximal tubule. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are rapidly phosphorylated and activated in response to various agonists. We investigated Ang II effects on serine/threonine kinase cascades in OK cells. The major findings of the present study are that Ang II stimulated MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK), MAP kinase (MAPK), and S6 kinase activities, and that it increased phosphorylation of Raf-1 kinase and p42 MAP kinase in OK cells. These stimulations of kinases were dose-dependent (from 10(-6) to 10(-11) M). The time course of activation was sequential; the peak stimulation was reached at 5 to 10 minutes for Raf-1 kinase, MAPKK and MAPK, and at 20 minutes for S6 kinase. The activation of MAPK was inhibited by approximately 70% with prolonged 24-hour PMA pretreatment or in the presence of calphostin C or H-7. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein and herbimycin) did not inhibit AngII-induced MAPK activity. This activation of MAPK was also inhibited via AT1 receptor antagonist, Dup753 and pertussis toxin. This evidence suggests that the activation of serine/threonine cascades by Ang II is largely dependent on PMA-sensitive PKC, and is not dependent on tyrosine kinase and pertussis toxin.

Angiotensin II stimulates proximal tubule acidification by activating both the Na-H antiporter and the Na-HCO3 cotransporter. The mechanism whereby angiotensin II stimulates the Na-HCO3 cotransporter was investigated in renal cortical basolateral membrane vesicles of the rabbit by measuring 22Na uptake in the presence of HCO3 and gluconate. Na-HCO3 cotransporter activity (expressed in nanomoles per milligram of protein per 3 s) was taken as the difference in 22Na uptake in the presence of HCO3 and gluconate. Angiotensin II stimulated Na-HCO3 cotransporter activity significantly (control, 1.5 +/- 0.4; angiotensin II, 3.3 +/- 0.6; P < 0.05), and this stimulation was prevented by the angiotensin II receptor antagonist DuP 753. Angiotensin II has been shown to stimulate both pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi protein and pertussis toxin-insensitive Gq protein. In the presence of pertussis toxin, angiotensin II (10(-11) M) failed to stimulate the Na-HCO3 cotransporter, suggesting a role of Gi protein in mediating this effect. In the presence of a polyclonal antibody against Gi protein, angiotensin II failed to stimulate the Na-HCO3 cotransporter (control, 1.6 +/- 0.4; angiotensin II, 3.9 +/- 0.9; angiotensin II + Gi, 1.2 +/- 0.7). Angiotensin II stimulated inositol triphosphate release, and this effect could be blocked by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122, suggesting a role of phospholipase C or A2 in this effect of angiotensin II. In the presence of the protein kinase C inhibitor calphostin C (50 nM), angiotensin II also failed to stimulate the Na-HCO3 cotransporter. These results demonstrate that angiotensin II stimulates the renal Na-HCO3 cotransporter by interacting with a specific angiotensin II receptor and that this stimulation is mediated by the activation of Gi and Gq proteins.
