(Na(+)+K(+))-adenosine triphosphatase (NaK-ATPase), an ubiquitous membrane transport protein consisting of alpha and beta subunits, regulates Na(+)/K(+)fluxes and maintains many vital physiological functions, including cell growth. Results have indicated that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) both enhance NaK-ATPase subunits. Genistein, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphorylation, inhibits serum- and PDGF-BB-induced NaK-ATPase alpha(1)subunit protein levels without inhibiting IGF-I-induced NaK-ATPase alpha(1)subunit protein levels. These results indicate that PDGF-BB and IGF-I utilize separate signaling pathways to induce the synthesis of NaK-ATPase alpha(1)subunits. In addition, genistein failed to inhibit PDGF-BB-stimulated NaK-ATPase beta(1)subunit levels, suggesting that two separate pathways are involved to induce the synthesis of the NaK-ATPase alpha(1)and beta(1)subunits, respectively.

PMID:PDGF-BB and IGF-I use different signaling pathways to induce NaK-ATPase subunits in cultured rat thoracic aortic smooth muscle cells. 1060 Feb 34

Regulation of (Na(+) + K(+))-adenosine triphosphatase (NaK-ATPase) by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in cultured rat thoracic aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) was examined. PDGF-BB enhances SMC proliferation and NaK-ATPase activity. Ouabain, an inhibitor of NaK-ATPase activity, prevents PDGF-BB-induced SMC proliferation. As shown by Western blot and immunochemiluminescence analysis, PDGF-BB also enhances alpha(1), truncated alpha(1), and beta(1) NaK-ATPase subunit levels. PDGF-AA and PDGF-AB show no effect on alpha(1) and truncated alpha(1) levels in slot blot analysis. Induction of NaK-ATPase subunit levels by PDGF-BB could be one of the initial events in vascular SMC proliferation. Copyright 1996 S. Karger AG, Basel
