Ca(2+)-mobilizing and cAMP-dependent hormones rapidly increase sodium, potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K(+)-ATPase)-mediated transport in rat hepatocytes. To explore the possible role of protein phosphatases in these responses we used a protein phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid. Okadaic acid stimulation of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb(+)-uptake was maximal between two and three minutes and displayed an EC50 of 41 +/- 1 nM. Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange with an amiloride analog abolished the response to insulin, but had no effect on okadaic acid-mediated stimulation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase transport. In hepatocytes metabolically-radiolabeled with 32Pi, okadaic acid stimulated the incorporation of radioactivity into several 95 kDa peptides, one of which reacted with anti-LEAVE peptide antisera, that recognizes Na+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunits. In other experiments Na+/K(+)-ATPase was immunoprecipitated from detergent-solubilized membrane fractions of metabolically-radiolabeled cells with an antisera to purified rat kidney Na+/K(+)-ATPase. A 95 kDa phosphoprotein was immunoprecipitated using anti-Na+/K(+)-ATPase antisera, but not by preimmune serum. Okadaic acid stimulated incorporation of radioactivity into this band by 220 +/- 28%. These findings provide support for the hypothesis that rapid stimulation of hepatic Na+/K(+)-ATPase by hormones may be related to protein kinase/phosphatase-mediated changes in the phosphorylation state of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit.

Phosphorylation of sodium and potassium ion-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) by protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in vitro, where substrate conformation, kinase activity, and consequent effects on Na,K-ATPase activity could be controlled. With Na, K-ATPase from rat kidney, optimal stoichiometries were close to 1 mol 32P/mol Na,K-ATPase for both kinases. Addition of Na+, K+, P(i), or ouabain is known to stabilize the Na,K-ATPase in different states and was found to affect phosphorylation by the two kinases in a reciprocal way. This indicates that exposure of the phosphorylation sites varies with conformation and suggests a structural basis for the variable responses to kinase activation in intact cells. Further evidence for the importance of Na,K-ATPase conformation in its interaction with kinase came from the autophosphorylation of PKC, which varied in proportion to both the concentration and conformation of rat Na,K-ATPase. With pig and dog Na,K-ATPase, little phosphorylation by PKC was detected, and yet the PKC phosphorylated itself when the Na,K-ATPase was in the optimal conformation. The location of the PKA phosphorylation site was confirmed to be Ser-938 by sequence analysis of a tryptic peptide. Effects of PKA on Na,K-ATPase activity could not be measured because of inhibition by the Triton X-100 needed to obtain phosphorylation. Phosphorylation by PKC, even in optimal conditions, failed to result in inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity. This suggests that any physiological role of phosphorylation either entails a subtle modulation of enzyme properties, or requires additional regulatory proteins.

The plasma membrane enzyme (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-adenosine triphosphatase [(Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase] is hormonally regulated, and may participate in Ca2+ signaling by removing excess Ca2+ from the cell. Insulin increases ATPase activity in kidney cortical basolateral membranes (BLM) from normal rats, but fails to do so in membranes from insulin-resistant non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) rats. To investigate mechanisms of insulin regulation of ATPase and to evaluate whether the loss of this regulation in diabetes is hormone-specific and depends on blood glucose levels, (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase function and its hormonal regulation were studied in kidney BLM from rats with mild and severe NIDDM. Km values for ATP and Ca2+ affinity of the ATPase were similar in diabetic and control rats, but the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme was higher in diabetic groups. Insulin, the protein kinase C (PKC) stimulator 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) all increased the ATPase activity in BLM from controls by increasing the enzyme's affinity for Ca2+. A protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (H8 in low concentrations) abolished cAMP and PTH effects, but not those of insulin, whereas the PKC inhibitors (sphingosine and high concentrations of H8) did abolish the effects of insulin. Stimulations of ATPase activity by insulin and by PTH and cAMP were additive. Insulin and TPA lost their stimulatory effects on ATPase in BLM from rats with either mild or severe NIDDM, but PTH and cAMP maintained their stimulatory effects in these membranes. The data show [1] (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity is increased in NIDDM, and a hormone-specific loss of insulin stimulation of ATPase occurs; (2) these defects are not dependent on the level of glycemia; and (3) the stimulatory effects of insulin on the ATPase may be mediated in part via PKC. We suggest that the hormone-specific defect in insulin regulation of ATPase seen in the NIDDM rats may contribute to their insulin resistance.

1. Troglitazone, an insulin sensitizing agent, has a direct positive inotropic effect. However, the mechanism of this effect remains unclear. Thus, we examined the inotropic effect of troglitazone while focusing on intracellular Ca2+ handling. 2. Troglitazone significantly increased peak isovolumic left ventricular pressure (LVP(max)), peak rate of rise of LVP (dP/dt(max)), peak rate of fall of LVP (dP/dt(min)) in isolated rat hearts perfused at a constant coronary flow and heart rate. This inotropic effect of troglitazone was not inhibited by pretreatment with carbachol (muscarine receptor agonist), H89 (protein kinase A inhibitor), U73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), H7 (protein kinase C inhibitor), verapamil (L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist), thapsigargin (Ca(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor) or ryanodine (ryanodine receptor opener). 3. Radioimmunoassay showed that the cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentration in the left ventricle was not increased by troglitazone. 4. Whole-cell patch clamp analysis revealed that troglitazone had no effect on inward Ca2+ currents in cardiomyocytes. 5. In fura-2 loaded perfused rat hearts, troglitazone exerted its positive inotropic effect without increasing Ca2+ concentration. 6. These results suggest that neither the inward Ca2+ currents nor Ca2+ handling in the sarcoplasmic reticulum was involved in the inotropic effect of troglitazone. Furthermore, troglitazone exerted its positive inotropic effect without affecting the intracellular concentration of Ca2+. 7. In conclusion, the positive inotropic effect of troglitazone is mediated by a sensitization of Ca2+.

Relaxation of penile smooth muscle (arterial and trabecular) initiates and maintains penile erection. Relaxation of smooth muscle is viewed as a 'resetting' of contractile machinery by resumption of a precontractile state accomplished by lowering cytosolic Ca(+2) and/or by a decrease in sensitivity of the contractile machinery to Ca(+2). There are various mechanisms whereby cytosolic Ca(+2) can be reduced and relaxation achieved, but in general, all pathways depend on the accumulation of the nucleotides cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) or activation of K channels with hyperpolarization. Another mechanism, activation of Na(+)/K(+) adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by nitric oxide, has been shown to be involved in relaxation of trabecular smooth muscle. Since Na(+)/K(+) ATPase is electrogenic, its stimulation would cause hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization will prevent the opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels. Guanylate cyclase, which catalyzes the conversion of guanosine triphosphate to cGMP, is activated by nitric oxide. cGMP activates protein kinase G, which through multiple phosphorylations facilitates calcium sequestration and reduces the entry of calcium into the cell. Other muscle relaxants act by way of a cAMP-dependent mechanism such as prostaglandin E, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and catecholamines (via beta-receptors). These substances react with membrane receptors coupled to a GS-type protein that stimulates adenylate cyclase, which catalyzes the accumulation of cAMP. DOI: 10.1038/sj/ijir/3900790

The renal effects of dopamine are mainly mediated via the dopamine-1 receptor (D1 receptor). This receptor is recruited from intracellular compartments to the plasma membrane by dopamine and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), via adenylyl cyclase activation. We have studied whether isoproterenol, a beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) agonist that may interact with dopamine in the regulation of rat renal Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity, can recruit D1 receptors to the plasma membrane. The spatial regulation of D1 receptors was examined using confocal microscopy techniques in LLCPK cells and the functional interaction between dopamine and isoproterenol was examined by studying their effects on Na+, K+-ATPase activity in microdissected single proximal tubular segments from rat. Isoproterenol was found to translocate the D1 receptors from the interior of the cell towards the plasma membrane. The recruitment of dopamine 1 receptors was found to be cyclic adenosine phosphate (cAMP) dependent, while protein kinase C (PKC) activation was not involved. The functional studies on Na+, K+-ATPase activity showed that the effect of isoproterenol was abolished by a D1-like receptor antagonist (SCH 23390), and mediated via protein kinase A (PKA) and PKC dependent pathways. The results provide an explanation for the interaction between G protein-coupled receptors. The effects of isoproterenol on Na+, K+-ATPase activity can be explained by a heterologous recruitment of D1 receptors to the plasma membrane.

Molecular etiologies of heart failure, an emerging cardiovascular epidemic affecting 4.7 million Americans and costing 17.8 billion health-care dollars annually, remain poorly understood. Here we report that an inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure is caused by a dominant Arg --> Cys missense mutation at residue 9 (R9C) in phospholamban (PLN), a transmembrane phosphoprotein that inhibits the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA2a) pump. Transgenic PLN(R9C) mice recapitulated human heart failure with premature death. Cellular and biochemical studies revealed that, unlike wild-type PLN, PLN(R9C) did not directly inhibit SERCA2a. Rather, PLN(R9C) trapped protein kinase A (PKA), which blocked PKA-mediated phosphorylation of wild-type PLN and in turn delayed decay of calcium transients in myocytes. These results indicate that myocellular calcium dysregulation can initiate human heart failure-a finding that may lead to therapeutic opportunities.

The present study was designed to investigate the role of the sodium potassium adenosine triphosphatase (the Na(+)K(+) ATPase) in relaxation of bovine isolated bronchioles by a new NO donor, GEA 3175 (3-(3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-5-[[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino]-)hydroxide)). Bronchioles were mounted in a wire myograph for isometric tension recordings and contracted with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or a K(+) rich solution. Concentration-dependent relaxations evoked by GEA 3175 were inhibited by ouabain or K(+) free solution. The guanylyl cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazolo[4,3,-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 3 microM) and ouabain (10 nM) reduced GEA 3175-evoked relaxations to the same extent without any additive effect. Iberiotoxin (10 nM), an inhibitor of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels inhibited GEA 3175-evoked relaxations to the same extent as ouabain. Combining ouabain and iberiotoxin completely abolished GEA 3175 relaxation. An inhibitor of protein kinase G (PKG), Rp-beta-phenyl-1,N(2)-etheno-8-bromo-guanosine-3'-5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPs), slightly reduced GEA 3175-induced relaxations. An inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase (PKA), Rp-adenosine-3'-5'-cyclic phosphorothioate (Rp-cAMPs), inhibited the GEA 3175-induced relaxations to the same extent as ouabain. Inhibition of both PKG and PKA abolished GEA 3175 relaxation. The study provides evidence that the NO donor GEA 3175 causes guanylyl cyclase-dependent relaxations, taking place through cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases followed by opening of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels and activation of smooth muscle Na(+)K(+) ATPase.

It has been documented that angiotensin II (ANG II) (10(-9) M) stimulates proton extrusion via H(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in proximal tubule cells. In the present study, we investigated the signaling pathways involved in the effects of ANG II on H(+)-ATPase activity and on the cytosolic free calcium concentration in immortalized rat proximal tubule cells, a permanent cell line derived from rat proximal tubules. The effects of ANG on pH(i) and [Ca(+2)](i) were assessed by the fluorescent probes, 2',7-bis (2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein-acetoxy-methyl ester and fluo-4-acetoxy-methyl ester, in the absence of Na(+) to block the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. In the control situation, the pH recovery rate following intracellular acidification with NH(4)Cl was 0.073+/-0.011 pH units/min (n=12). This recovery was significantly increased with ANG II (10(-9 )M), to 0.12+/-0.015 pH units/min, n=10. This last effect was also followed by a significant increase of Ca(+2) (i), from 99.72+/-1.704 nM (n=21) to 401.23+/-33.91 nM (n=39). The stimulatory effect of ANG II was blocked in the presence of losartan, an angiotensin II subtype 1 (AT(1)) receptor antagonist. H89 [protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor] plus ANG II had no effect on the pH recovery. Staurosporine [protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor] impaired the effect of ANG II. Phorbol myristate acetate (PKC activator) mimicked in part the stimulatory effect of ANG II, but reduced Ca(+2) (i). 1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (intracellular calcium chelator) alone reduced the pH(i) recovery rate below control levels and impaired the effect of ANG II, in a way similar to that of trimethoxy benzoate (a blocker of Ca(+2) (i) mobilization). We conclude that ANG II regulates rat proximal tubule vacuolar H(+)-ATPase by a PKA-independent mechanism and that PKC and intracellular calcium play a critical role in this regulation.

Dopamine (DA) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) share a number of physiological effects. We hypothesized that ANF and the renal dopaminergic system could interact and enhance the natriuretic and diuretic effects of the peptide. We have previously reported that the ANF-stimulated DA uptake in renal tubular cells is mediated by the natriuretic peptide type-A receptor (NPR-A). Our aim was to investigate the signaling pathways that mediate ANF effects on renal 3H-DA uptake. Methylene blue (10 microM), an unspecific inhibitor of guanylate cyclase (GC), blunted ANF elicited increase of DA uptake. ODQ (10 microM) a specific inhibitor of soluble GC, did not modify DA uptake and did not reverse ANF-induced increase of DA uptake; then the participation of nitric oxide-dependent pathways must be discarded. The second messenger was the cGMP since the analogous 125 microM 8-Br-cGMP mimicked ANF effects. The specific inhibitor of the protein kinase G (PKG), KT 5823 (1 microM) blocked ANF effects indicating that PKG is involved. We examined if ANF effects on DA uptake were able to modify Na+, K+ -adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+ -ATPase) activity. The experiments were designed by means of inhibition of renal DA synthesis by carbidopa and neuronal DA uptake blocked by nomifensine. In these conditions renal Na+, K+ -ATPase activity was increased, in agreement with the decrease of DA availability. When in similar conditions, exogenous DA was added to the incubation medium, the activity of the enzyme tended to decrease, following to the restored availability of DA. The addition of ANF alone had similar effects to the addition of DA on the sodium pump, but when both were added together, the activity of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase was decreased. Moreover, the extraneuronal uptake blocker, hydrocortisone, inhibited the latter effect. In conclusion, ANF stimulates extraneuronal DA uptake in external cortex tissues by activation of NPR-A receptors coupled to GC and it signals through cGMP as second messenger and PKG. Dopamine and ANF may achieve their effects through a common pathway that involves reversible deactivation of renal tubular Na+, K+ -ATPase activity. This mechanism demonstrates a DA-ANF relationship involved in the modulation of both decreased sodium reabsorption and increased natriuresis.
