Vidović A, Dolinar K, Chibalin AV, Pirkmajer S. AMPK and glucose deprivation exert an isoform-specific effect on the expression of Na +,K +-ATPase subunits in cultured myotubes.

Abstract
In skeletal muscle, Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA), a heterodimeric (α/β) P-type ATPase, has an essential role in maintenance of Na+ and K+ homeostasis, excitability, and contractility. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor, increases the membrane abundance and activity of NKA in L6 myotubes, but its potential role in regulation of NKA content in skeletal muscle, which determines maximum capacity for Na+ and K+ transport, has not been clearly delineated. We examined whether energy stress and/or AMPK affect expression of NKA subunits in rat L6 and primary human myotubes. Energy stress, induced by glucose deprivation, increased protein content of NKAα1 and NKAα2 in L6 myotubes, while decreasing the content of NKAα1 in human myotubes. Pharmacological AMPK activators (AICAR, A-769662, and diflunisal) modulated expression of NKA subunits, but their effects only partially mimicked those that occurred in response to glucose deprivation, indicating that AMPK does not mediate all effects of energy stress on NKA expression. Gene silencing of AMPKα1/α2 increased protein levels of NKAα1 in L6 myotubes and NKAα1 mRNA levels in human myotubes, while decreasing NKAα2 protein levels in L6 myotubes. Collectively, our results suggest a role for energy stress and AMPK in modulation of NKA expression in skeletal muscle. However, their modulatory effects were not conserved between L6 myotubes and primary human myotubes, which suggests that coupling between energy stress, AMPK, and regulation of NKA expression in vitro depends on skeletal muscle cell model.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:10437.

Abstract
Dysregulation of ion flux across membranes and glutamate-induced excitotoxicity appear to be important pathophysiologic abnormalities in bipolar illness. Understanding ion control and responses to ionic stress is important to decipher the pathogenesis of this disorder. Monensin alone significantly increased [Na]i in ONPs from bipolar individuals (5.08 ± 0.71 vs baseline 3.13 ± 0.93, P = 0.03) and AP5 had no effect (2.0 ± 1.2 vs baseline 3.13 ± 0.93, P = 0.27). However, the combination of AP5 and monensin resulted in normalization of [Na]i (3.25 ± 1.28 vs baseline 3.13 ± 0.93, P = 0.89). This effect was not observed in cells from non-bipolar individuals (monensin alone, 1.72 ± 1.10 vs baseline 2.42 ± 1.80, P = 0.25; AP5 alone, 1.37 ± 0.74 vs baseline 2.42 ± 1.80; AP5 combined with monensin, 1.53 ± 0.98 vs baseline 2.42 ± 1.80, P = 0.31). Sodium regulation is central to neuronal function and may be disturbed in patients with bipolar disorder. Monensin is an ionophore, meaning that it incorporates itself into the membrane and allows sodium to enter independent of cellular membrane proteins. While the mechanism remains obscure, the observation that the NMDA receptor antagonist, AP5, normalizes [Na]i only in olfactory neuroepithelial precursors obtained from bipolar illness may provide novel insights into ion regulation in tissues from subjects with bipolar illness.

Abstract
Mice lacking functional thyroid follicular cells, Pax8−/− mice, die early postnatally, making them suitable models for extreme hypothyroidism. We have previously obtained evidence in postnatal rat neurons, that a down-regulation of Na+-current density could explain the reduced excitability of the nervous system in hypothyroidism. If such a mechanism underlies the development of coma and death in severe hypothyroidism, Pax8−/− mice should show deficits in the expression of Na+ currents and potentially also in the expression of Na+/K+-ATPases, which are necessary to maintain low intracellular Na+ levels. We thus compared Na+ current densities in postnatal mice using the patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration as well as the expression of three alpha and two beta-subunits of the Na+/K+-ATPase in wild type versus Pax8−/− mice. Whereas the Na+ current density in hippocampal neurons from wild type mice was upregulated within the first postnatal week, the Na+ current density remained at a very low level in hippocampal neurons from Pax8−/− mice. Pax8−/− mice also showed significantly decreased protein expression levels of the catalytic α1 and α3 subunits of the Na+/K+-ATPase as well as decreased levels of the β2 isoform, with no changes in the α2 and β1 subunits.

J Neurosci Res 2020; 98:964-977.

Abstract
Changes in extracellular potassium ([K+ ]e ) modulate neuronal networks via changes in membrane potential, voltage-gated channel activity, and alteration to transmission at the synapse. Given the limited extracellular space in the central nervous system, potassium clearance is crucial. As activity-induced potassium transients are rapidly managed by astrocytic Kir4.1 and astrocyte-specific Na+ /K+ -ATPase, any neurotransmitter/neuromodulator that can regulate their function may have indirect influence on network activity. Neuromodulators differentially affect cortical/thalamic networks to align sensory processing with differing behavioral states. Given serotonin (5HT), norepinephrine (NE), and acetylcholine (ACh) differentially affect spike frequency adaptation and signal fidelity ("signal-to-noise") in somatosensory cortex, we hypothesize that [K+ ]e may be differentially regulated by the different neuromodulators to exert their individual effects on network function. This study aimed to compare effects of individually applied 5HT, NE, and ACh on regulating [K+ ]e in connection to effects on cortical-evoked response amplitude and adaptation in male mice. Using extracellular field and K+ ion-selective recordings of somatosensory stimulation, we found that differential effects of 5HT, NE, and ACh on [K+ ]e regulation mirrored differential effects on amplitude and adaptation. 5HT effects on transient K+ recovery, adaptation, and field post-synaptic potential amplitude were disrupted by barium (200 µM), whereas NE and ACh effects were disrupted by ouabain (1 µM) or iodoacetate (100 µM). Considering the impact [K+ ]e can have on many network functions; it seems highly efficient that neuromodulators regulate [K+ ]e to exert their many effects. This study provides functional significance for astrocyte-mediated buffering of [K+ ]e in neuromodulator-mediated shaping of cortical network activity.

Abstract
Our previous demonstration that severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) increases MnSOD protein abundance in the mouse kidney cortex led this study to elucidate the underlying mechanism with monensin-treated HEK293 cells as a model. Severe EAE increases mitochondrial protein abundance of SGK1 kinase and Tom20, a critical subunit of mitochondrial translocase in the renal cortex. In HEK293 cells, catalase inhibits monensin-induced increases of mitochondrial SGK1 and Tom20 protein levels. Further, GSK650394, a specific inhibitor of SGK1 reduces monensin-induced increase of mitochondrial protein abundance of Tom20 and MnSOD. Finally, RNAi of Tom20 reduces the effect of monensin on MnSOD. MnSOD and Tom20 physically associate with each other. In conclusion, in HEK293 cells, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species increase protein abundance of mitochondrial SGK1, which leads to a rise of mitochondrial Tom20, resulting in importing MnSOD protein into the mitochondria. This could be a mechanism by which severe EAE up-regulates mitochondrial MnSOD in the kidney cortex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Dopamine (DA) is a natriuretic hormone that inhibits renal sodium reabsorption, being Angiotensin II (Ang II) its powerful counterpart. These two systems work together to maintain sodium homeostasis and consequently, the blood pressure (BP) within normal limits. We hypothesized that L-tyrosine (L-tyr) or L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) could inhibit the Na+/K+-ATPase activity. We also evaluated whether L-tyr treatment modulates Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH). METHODS Experiments involved cultured LLCPK1 cells treated with L-tyr or L-dopa for 30 minutes a 37°C. In experiments on the effect of Dopa Descarboxylase (DDC) inhibition, cells were pre incubated for 15 minutes with 3-Hydroxybenzylhydrazine dihydrochloride (HBH), and them L-dopa was added for 30 minutes. Na+/K+-ATPase activity was quantified colorimetrically. We used immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry to identify the enzymes TH, DDC and the dopamine receptor D1R in LLCPK1 cells. TH activity was accessed by immunoblotting (increase in the phosphorylation). TH and DDC activities were also evaluated by the modulation of the Na+/K+-ATPase activity, which can be ascribed to the synthesis of dopamine. RESULTS LLCPK1 cells express the required machinery for DA synthesis: the enzymes TH, and (DDC) as well as its receptor D1R, were detected in control steady state cells. Cells treated with L-tyr or L-dopa showed an inhibition of the basolateral Na+/K+-ATPase activity. We can assume that DA formed in the cytoplasm from L-tyr or L-dopa led to inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase activity compared to control. L-tyr treatment increases TH phosphorylation at Ser40 by 100%. HBH, a specific DDC inhibitor; BCH, a LAT2 inhibitor; and Sch 23397, a specific D1R antagonist, totally suppressed the inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase activity due to L-dopa or L-tyr administration, as indicated in the figures. CONCLUSION The results indicate that DA formed mainly from luminal L-tyr or L-dopa uptake by LAT2, can inhibit the Na+/K+-ATPase. In addition, our results showed for the very first time that TH activity is also significantly increased when the cells were exposed to L-tyr.

Gene Level Regulation of Na,K-ATPase in the Renal Proximal Tubule Is Controlled by Two Independent but Interacting Regulatory Mechanisms Involving Salt Inducible Kinase 1 and CREB-Regulated Transcriptional Coactivators. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:E2086.

Abstract
For many years, studies concerning the regulation of Na,K-ATPase were restricted to acute regulatory mechanisms, which affected the phosphorylation of Na,K-ATPase, and thus its retention on the plasma membrane. However, in recent years, this focus has changed. Na,K-ATPase has been established as a signal transducer, which becomes part of a signaling complex as a consequence of ouabain binding. Na,K-ATPase within this signaling complex is localized in caveolae, where Na,K-ATPase has also been observed to regulate Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor (IP3R)-mediated calcium release. This latter association has been implicated as playing a role in signaling by G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). Here, the consequences of signaling by renal effectors that act via such GPCRs are reviewed, including their regulatory effects on Na,K-ATPase gene expression in the renal proximal tubule (RPT). Two major types of gene regulation entail signaling by Salt Inducible Kinase 1 (SIK1). On one hand, SIK1 acts so as to block signaling via cAMP Response Element (CRE) Binding Protein (CREB) Regulated Transcriptional Coactivators (CRTCs) and on the other hand, SIK1 acts so as to stimulate signaling via the Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2 (MEF2)/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) regulated genes. Ultimate consequences of these pathways include regulatory effects which alter the rate of transcription of the Na,K-ATPase β1 subunit gene atp1b1 by CREB, as well as by MEF2/NFAT.

Abstract
RATIONALE Salt sensitivity of blood pressure affects >30% of the hypertensive and >15% of the normotensive population. Variants of the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe2 gene, SLC4A5, are associated with increased blood pressure in several ethnic groups. SLC4A5 variants are also highly associated with salt sensitivity, independent of hypertension. However, little is known about how NBCe2 contributes to salt sensitivity, although NBCe2 regulates renal tubular sodium bicarbonate transport. We hypothesized that SLC4A5 rs10177833 and rs7571842 increase NBCe2 expression and human renal proximal tubule cell (hRPTC) sodium transport and may be a cause of salt sensitivity of blood pressure. OBJECTIVE To characterize the hRPTC ion transport of wild-type (WT) and homozygous variants (HV) of SLC4A5. METHODS AND RESULTS The expressions of NBCe2 mRNA and protein were not different between hRPTCs carrying WT or HV SLC4A5 before or after dopaminergic or angiotensin (II and III) stimulation. However, luminal to basolateral sodium transport, NHE3 protein, and Cl-/HCO3- exchanger activity in hRPTCs were higher in HV than WT SLC4A5. Increasing intracellular sodium enhanced the apical location of NBCe2 in HV hRPTCs (4.24±0.35% to 11.06±1.72% (P<0.05, N = 3, 2-way ANOVA, Holm-Sidak test)) as determined by Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRFM). In hRPTCs isolated from kidney tissue, increasing intracellular sodium enhanced bicarbonate-dependent pH recovery rate and increased NBCe2 mRNA and protein expressions to a greater extent in HV than WT SLC4A5 (+38.00±6.23% vs HV normal salt (P<0.01, N = 4, 2-way ANOVA, Holm-Sidak test)). In hRPTCs isolated from freshly voided urine, bicarbonate-dependent pH recovery was also faster in those from salt-sensitive and carriers of HV SLC4A5 than from salt-resistant and carriers of WT SLC4A5. The faster NBCe2-specific bicarbonate-dependent pH recovery rate in HV SCL4A5 was normalized by SLC4A5- but not SLC4A4-shRNA. The binding of purified hepatocyte nuclear factor type 4A (HNF4A) to DNA was increased in hRPTCs carrying HV SLC4A5 rs7571842 but not rs10177833. The faster NBCe2-specific bicarbonate-dependent pH recovery rate in HV SCL4A5 was abolished by HNF4A antagonists. CONCLUSION NBCe2 activity is stimulated by an increase in intracellular sodium and is hyper-responsive in hRPTCs carrying HV SLC4A5 rs7571842 through an aberrant HNF4A-mediated mechanism.

Dietary Fructose Enhances the Ability of Low Concentrations of Angiotensin II to Stimulate Proximal Tubule Na⁺ Reabsorption. Nutrients 2017; 9:nu9080885.

Abstract
Fructose-enriched diets cause salt-sensitive hypertension. Proximal tubules (PTs) reabsorb 70% of the water and salt filtered through the glomerulus. Angiotensin II (Ang II) regulates this process. Normally, dietary salt reduces Ang II allowing the kidney to excrete more salt, thereby preventing hypertension. We hypothesized that fructose-enriched diets enhance the ability of low concentrations of Ang II to stimulate PT transport. We measured the effects of a low concentration of Ang II (10−12 mol/L) on transport-related oxygen consumption (QO2), and Na/K-ATPase and Na/H-exchange (NHE) activities and expression in PTs from rats consuming tap water (Control) or 20% fructose (FRUC). In FRUC-treated PTs, Ang II increased QO2 by 14.9 ± 1.3 nmol/mg/min (p < 0.01) but had no effect in Controls. FRUC elevated NHE3 expression by 19 ± 3% (p < 0.004) but not Na/K-ATPase expression. Ang II stimulated NHE activity in FRUC PT (Δ + 0.7 ± 0.1 Arbitrary Fluorescent units (AFU)/s, p < 0.01) but not in Controls. Na/K-ATPase activity was not affected. The PKC inhibitor Gö6976 blocked the ability of FRUC to augment the actions of Ang II. FRUC did not alter the inhibitory effect of dopamine on NHE activity. We conclude that dietary fructose increases the ability of low concentrations of Ang II to stimulate PT Na reabsorption via effects on NHE.

Abstract
Sodium reabsorption by the kidney is regulated by locally produced natriuretic and anti-natriuretic factors, including dopamine and norepinephrine, respectively. Previous studies indicated that signaling events initiated by these natriuretic and anti-natriuretic factors achieve their effects by altering the phosphorylation of Na,K-ATPase in the renal proximal tubule, and that protein kinase A (PKA) and calcium-mediated signaling pathways are involved. The same signaling pathways also control the transcription of the Na,K-ATPase β subunit gene atp1b1 in renal proximal tubule cells. In this report, evidence is presented that (1) both the recently discovered cAMP-regulated transcriptional coactivators (CRTCs) and salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) contribute to the transcriptional regulation of atp1b1 in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells and (2) renal effectors, including norepinephrine, dopamine, prostaglandins, and sodium, play a role. Exogenously expressed CRTCs stimulate atp1b1 transcription. Evidence for a role of endogenous CRTCs includes the loss of transcriptional regulation of atp1b1 by a dominant-negative CRTC, as well as by a CREB mutant, with an altered CRTC binding site. In a number of experimental systems, SIK phosphorylates CRTCs, which are then sequestered in the cytoplasm, preventing their nuclear effects. Consistent with such a role of SIK in primary RPT cells, atp1b1 transcription increased in the presence of a dominant-negative SIK1, and in addition, regulation by dopamine, norepinephrine, and monensin was disrupted by a dominant-negative SIK1. These latter observations can be explained if SIK1 is phosphorylated and inactivated in the presence of these renal effectors. Our results support the hypothesis that Na,K-ATPase in the renal proximal tubule is regulated at the transcriptional level via SIK1 and CRTCs by renal effectors, in addition to the previously reported control of the phosphorylation of Na,K-ATPase.

The uptake of glucose and the nutrient coupled transcellular sodium traffic across epithelial cells in the small intestine has been an ongoing topic in physiological research for over half a century. Driving the uptake of nutrients like glucose, enterocytes must have regulatory mechanisms that respond to the considerable changes in the inflow of sodium during absorption. The Na-K-ATPase membrane protein plays a major role in this regulation. We propose the hypothesis that the amount of active Na-K-ATPase in enterocytes is directly regulated by the concentration of intracellular Na(+) and that this regulation together with a regulation of basolateral K permeability by intracellular ATP gives the enterocyte the ability to maintain ionic Na(+)/K(+) homeostasis. To explore these regulatory mechanisms, we present a mathematical model of the sodium coupled uptake of glucose in epithelial enterocytes. Our model integrates knowledge about individual transporter proteins including apical SGLT1, basolateral Na-K-ATPase, and GLUT2, together with diffusion and membrane potentials. The intracellular concentrations of glucose, sodium, potassium, and chloride are modeled by nonlinear differential equations, and molecular flows are calculated based on experimental kinetic data from the literature, including substrate saturation, product inhibition, and modulation by membrane potential. Simulation results of the model without the addition of regulatory mechanisms fit well with published short-term observations, including cell depolarization and increased concentration of intracellular glucose and sodium during increased concentration of luminal glucose/sodium. Adding regulatory mechanisms for regulation of Na-K-ATPase and K permeability to the model show that our hypothesis predicts observed long-term ionic homeostasis.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) generally occurs as the result of the sustained mechanical stress caused by elevated systemic arterial blood pressure (BP). However, in animal models, elevated salt intake is associated with CH even in the absence of significant increases in BP. We hypothesize that CH is not exclusively the consequence of mechanical stress but also of other factors associated with elevated BP such as abnormal cell sodium homeostasis. We examined the effect of small increases in intracellular sodium concentration ([Na(+)](i)) on transcription factors and genes associated with CH in a cardiac cell line. Increases in [Na(+)](i) led to a time-dependent increase in the expression levels of mRNA for natriuretic peptide and myosin heavy chain genes and also increased myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)2/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) transcriptional activity. Increases in [Na(+)](i) are associated with activation of salt-inducible kinase 1 (snflk-1, SIK1), a kinase known to be critical for cardiac development. Moreover, increases in [Na(+)](i) resulted in increased SIK1 expression. Sodium did not increase MEF2/NFAT activity or gene expression in cells expressing a SIK1 that lacked kinase activity. The mechanism by which SIK1 activated MEF2 involved phosphorylation of HDAC5. Increases in [Na(+)](i) activate SIK1 and MEF2 via a parallel increase in intracellular calcium through the reverse mode of Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger and activation of CaMK1. These data obtained in a cardiac cell line suggest that increases in intracellular sodium could influence myocardial growth by controlling transcriptional activation and gene expression throughout the activation of the SIK1 network.

Abstract
Increased dietary salt triggers oxidative stress and kidney injury in salt-sensitive hypertension; however, the mechanism for sensing increased extracellular Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)]) remains unclear. A Na(+)-activated Na(+) channel (Na sensor) described in the brain operates as a sensor of extracellular fluid [Na(+)]; nonetheless, its presence in the kidney has not been established. In the present study, we demonstrated the gene expression of the Na sensor by RT-PCR and Western blotting in the Sprague-Dawley rat kidney. Using immunofluorescence, the Na sensor was localized to the luminal side in tubular epithelial cells of collecting ducts colocalizing with aquaporin-2, a marker of principal cells, and in thick ascending limb, colocalizing with the glycoprotein Tamm-Horsfall. To determine the effect of a high-salt diet (HSD) on Na sensor gene expression, we quantified its transcript and protein levels primarily in renal medullas from control rats and rats subjected to 8% NaCl for 7 days (n = 5). HSD increased Na sensor expression levels (mRNA: from 1.2 ± 0.2 to 5.1 ± 1.3 au; protein: from 0.98 ± 0.15 to 1.74 ± 0.28 au P < 0.05) in the kidney medulla, but not in the cortex. These data indicate that rat kidney epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb and principal cells of the collecting duct possess a Na sensor that is upregulated by HSD, suggesting an important role in monitoring changes in tubular fluid [Na(+)].

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Essential hypertension is a complex condition whose cause involves the interaction of multiple genetic and environmental factors such as salt intake. Salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) is a sucrose-nonfermenting-like kinase isoform that belongs to the AMPK (5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) family. SIK1 activity is increased by high salt intake and plays an essential role in regulating the plasma membrane Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. The objective of this study was to examine whether SIK1 is present in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells, whether it affects VSMC Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and whether human SIK1 (hSIK1) represents a potential candidate for blood pressure regulation. METHODS Localization of SIK1 was performed using immunohistochemistry, mRNA and western blot. Functional assays (Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity) were performed in VSMCs derived from rat aorta. Genotype-phenotype association studies were performed in three Swedish and one Japanese population-based cohorts. RESULTS SIK1 was localized in human VSMCs and endothelial cells, as well as a cell line derived from rat aorta. A nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in the hSIK1 gene exon 3 (C→T, rs3746951) results in the amino acid change (15)Gly→Ser in the SIK1 protein. SIK1-(15)Ser was found to increase plasma membrane Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in cultured VSMC line from rat aorta. Genotype-phenotype association studies in three Swedish and one Japanese population-based cohorts suggested that T allele (coding for (15)Ser) was associated with lower blood pressure (P = 0.005 for SBP and P = 0.002 for DBP) and with a decrease in left ventricular mass (P = 0.048). CONCLUSION The hSIK1 appears to be of potential relevance within VSMC function and blood pressure regulation.

Abstract
Salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) in epithelial cells mediates the increases in active sodium transport (Na(+), K(+)-ATPase-mediated) in response to elevations in the intracellular concentration of sodium. In lung alveolar epithelial cells increases in active sodium transport in response to β-adrenergic stimulation increases pulmonary edema clearance. Therefore, we sought to determine whether SIK1 is present in lung epithelial cells and to examine whether isoproterenol-dependent stimulation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase is mediated via SIK1 activity. All three SIK isoforms were present in airway epithelial cells, and in alveolar epithelial cells type 1 and type 2 from rat and mouse lungs, as well as from human and mouse cell lines representative of lung alveolar epithelium. In mouse lung epithelial cells, SIK1 associated with the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase α-subunit, and isoproterenol increased SIK1 activity. Isoproterenol increased Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity and the incorporation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase molecules at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, those effects were abolished in cells depleted of SIK1 using shRNA, or in cells overexpressing a SIK1 kinase-deficient mutant. These results provide evidence that SIK1 is present in lung epithelial cells and that its function is relevant for the action of isoproterenol during regulation of active sodium transport. As such, SIK1 may constitute an important target for drug discovery aimed at improving the clearance of pulmonary edema.

Abstract
Accumulated studies reported that the natruretic dopamine (DA) and the anti-natruretic angiotensin II (Ang II) represent an important mechanism to regulate renal Na(+) and water excretion through intracellular secondary messengers to inhibit or activate renal proximal tubule (PT) Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (NKA). The antagonistic actions were mediated by the phosphorylation of different position of NKA α₁-subunit and different Pals-associated tight junction protein (PATJ) PDZ domains, the different protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms (PKC-β, PKC-ζ), the common adenylyl cyclase (AC) pathway, and the crosstalk and balance between DA and Ang II to NKA regulation. Besides, Ang II-mediated NKA modulation has bi-phasic effects.

Abstract
This paper presents the growth and structure of ZnO nanorods on a sub-micrometer glass pipette and their application as an intracellular selective ion sensor. Highly oriented, vertical and aligned ZnO nanorods were grown on the tip of a borosilicate glass capillary (0.7 µm in diameter) by the low temperature aqueous chemical growth (ACG) technique. The relatively large surface-to-volume ratio of ZnO nanorods makes them attractive for electrochemical sensing. Transmission electron microscopy studies show that ZnO nanorods are single crystals and grow along the crystal’s c-axis. The ZnO nanorods were functionalized with a polymeric membrane for selective intracellular measurements of Na+. The membrane-coated ZnO nanorods exhibited a Na+-dependent electrochemical potential difference versus an Ag/AgCl reference micro-electrode within a wide concentration range from 0.5 mM to 100 mM. The fabrication of functionalized ZnO nanorods paves the way to sense a wide range of biochemical species at the intracellular level.

Abstract
Sodium is the main determinant of body fluid distribution. Sodium accumulation causes water retention and, often, high blood pressure. At the cellular level, the concentration and active transport of sodium is handled by the enzyme Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, whose appearance enabled evolving primitive cells to cope with osmotic stress and contributed to the complexity of mammalian organisms. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is a platform at the hub of many cellular signaling pathways related to sensing intracellular sodium and dealing with its detrimental excess. One of these pathways relies on an intracellular sodium-sensor network with the salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) at its core. When intracellular sodium levels rise, and after the activation of calcium-related signals, this network activates the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and expel the excess of sodium from the cytosol. The SIK1 network also mediates sodium-independent signals that modulate the activity of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, like dopamine and angiotensin, which are relevant per se in the development of high blood pressure. Animal models of high blood pressure, with identified mutations in components of multiple pathways, also have alterations in the SIK1 network. The introduction of some of these mutants into normal cells causes changes in SIK1 activity as well. Some cellular processes related to the metabolic syndrome, such as insulin effects on the kidney and other tissues, also appear to involve the SIK1. Therefore, it is likely that this protein, by modulating active sodium transport and numerous hormonal responses, represents a "crossroad" in the development and adaptation to high blood pressure and associated diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Because a newly described salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) network is responsible for increases in active cell sodium transport in response to elevated intracellular sodium, we hypothesized that this network could mediate the effects of the mutant (hypertensive) form of alpha-adducin on Na,K-ATPase activity. METHODS Studies were performed in normotensive and hypertensive Milan rats and in a cell line of proximal tubule origin expressing transiently variants of alpha-adducin (human G460W/S586C; rat F316Y) that are associated with elevated blood pressure and result in increased Na,K-ATPase activity. Na,K-ATPase activity was determined as ouabain-sensitive rubidium transport. RESULTS SIK1 activity (T182 phosphorylation) was significantly elevated in renal proximal tubule cells from Milan hypertensive rats (carrying a alpha-adducin mutation) when compared with normotensive controls. Similarly, SIK1 activity (T182 phosphorylation) was elevated in a normal renal proximal tubule cell line when transfected with the alpha-adducin variant carrying the human hypertensive mutation. Blocking the SIK1 network using negative mutants as well as different stages of its activation pathway prevented the effects induced by the hypertensive alpha-adducin. CONCLUSION The SIK1 network may constitute an alternative target by which agents can modulate active sodium transport in renal epithelia and avoid the increases in systemic blood pressure that are associated with genetic mutations in the human alpha-adducin molecule.

Abstract
Chronic hypertension is characterized by a persistent increase in vascular tone. Sodium-rich diets promote hypertension; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Variations in the sodium content of the diet, through hormonal mediators such as dopamine and angiotensin II, modulate renal tubule Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity increases sodium transport across the renal proximal tubule epithelia, promoting Na(+) retention, whereas inhibited Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity decreases sodium transport, and thereby natriuresis. Diets rich in sodium also enhance the release of adrenal endogenous ouabain-like compounds (OLC), which inhibit Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity, resulting in increased intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) concentrations in vascular smooth muscle cells, thus increasing the vascular tone, with a corresponding increase in blood pressure. The mechanisms by which these homeostatic processes are integrated in response to salt intake are complex and not completely elucidated. However, recent scientific findings provide new insights that may offer additional avenues to further explore molecular mechanisms related to normal physiology and pathophysiology of various forms of hypertension (i.e. salt-induced). Consequently, new strategies for the development of improved therapeutics and medical management of hypertension are anticipated.

Abstract
Hypoxia promotes Na,K-ATPase endocytosis via protein kinase C zeta (PKC zeta)-mediated phosphorylation of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit. Here, we report that hypoxia leads to the phosphorylation of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) at Thr172 in rat alveolar epithelial cells. The overexpression of a dominant-negative AMPK alpha subunit (AMPK-DN) construct prevented the hypoxia-induced endocytosis of Na,K-ATPase. The overexpression of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger catalase prevented hypoxia-induced AMPK activation. Moreover, hypoxia failed to activate AMPK in mitochondrion-deficient rho(0)-A549 cells, suggesting that mitochondrial ROS play an essential role in hypoxia-induced AMPK activation. Hypoxia-induced PKC zeta translocation to the plasma membrane and phosphorylation at Thr410 were prevented by the pharmacological inhibition of AMPK or by the overexpression of the AMPK-DN construct. We found that AMPK alpha phosphorylates PKC zeta on residue Thr410 within the PKC zeta activation loop. Importantly, the activation of AMPK alpha was necessary for hypoxia-induced AMPK-PKC zeta binding in alveolar epithelial cells. The overexpression of T410A mutant PKC zeta prevented hypoxia-induced Na,K-ATPase endocytosis, confirming that PKC zeta Thr410 phosphorylation is essential for this process. PKC zeta activation by AMPK is isoform specific, as small interfering RNA targeting the alpha1 but not the alpha2 catalytic subunit prevented PKC zeta activation. Accordingly, we provide the first evidence that hypoxia-generated mitochondrial ROS lead to the activation of the AMPK alpha1 isoform, which binds and directly phosphorylates PKC zeta at Thr410, thereby promoting Na,K-ATPase endocytosis.

Abstract
Changes in cellular ion levels can modulate distinct signaling networks aimed at correcting major disruptions in ion balances that might otherwise threaten cell growth and development. Salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) and salt overly sensitive 2 (SOS2) are key protein kinases within such networks in mammalian and plant cells, respectively. In animals, SIK1 expression and activity are regulated in response to the salt content of the diet, and in plants SOS2 activity is controlled by the salinity of the soil. The specific ionic stress (elevated intracellular sodium) is followed by changes in intracellular calcium; the calcium signals are sensed by calcium-binding proteins and lead to activation of SIK1 or SOS2. These kinases target major plasma membrane transporters such as the Na+,K+-ATPase in mammalian cells, and Na+/H+ exchangers in the plasma membrane and membranes of intracellular vacuoles of plant cells. Activation of these networks prevents abnormal increases in intracellular sodium concentration.

Abstract
Most of the transepithelial transport of sodium in proximal tubules occurs through the coordinated action of the apical sodium/proton exchanger and the basolateral Na-K-ATPase. Hormones that regulate proximal tubule sodium excretion regulate the activities of these proteins. We have previously demonstrated that the level of intracellular sodium concentration modulates the regulation of Na-K-ATPase activity by angiotensin II and dopamine. An increase of a few millimolars in intracellular sodium concentration leads to increased Na-K-ATPase activity without a statistically significant increase in the number of plasma membrane Na-K-ATPase molecules, as determined by cell surface protein biotinylation. Using total internal reflection fluorescence, we detected an increased number of Na-K-ATPase molecules in cytosolic compartments adjacent to the plasma membrane, suggesting that the increased intracellular sodium concentration induces a movement of Na-K-ATPase molecules toward the plasma membrane. While intracellular compartments containing Na-K-ATPase molecules are very close to the plasma membrane, compartments containing type 1 dopamine receptors (D1Rs) are distributed in different parts of the cell cytosol. Fluorescence determinations indicate that an increased intracellular sodium concentration induces the increased colocalization of dopamine receptors with Na-K-ATPase molecules in the region of the plasma membrane. We propose that under in vivo conditions, in response to a sodium load in the lumen of proximal tubules, an increased level of intracellular sodium in epithelial cells is an early event that triggers the cellular response that leads to dopamine inhibition of proximal tubule sodium reabsorption.

Abstract
Motion of integral membrane proteins to the plasma membrane in response to G-protein-coupled receptor signals requires selective cargo recognition motifs that bind adaptor protein 1 and clathrin. Angiotensin II, through the activation of AT1 receptors, promotes the recruitment to the plasma membrane of Na,K-ATPase molecules from intracellular compartments. We present evidence to demonstrate that a tyrosine-based sequence (IVVY-255) present within the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit is involved in the binding of adaptor protein 1. Mutation of Tyr-255 to a phenylalanine residue in the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit greatly reduces the angiotensin II-dependent activation of Na,K-ATPase, recruitment of Na,K-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane, and association of adaptor protein 1 with Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit molecules. To determine protein-protein interaction, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer between fluorophores attached to the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit and adaptor protein 1. Although angiotensin II activation of AT1 receptors induces a significant increase in the level of fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the two molecules, this effect was blunted in cells expressing the Tyr-255 mutant. Thus, results from different methods and techniques suggest that the Tyr-255-based sequence within the NKA alpha1-subunit is the site of adaptor protein 1 binding in response to the G-protein-coupled receptor signals produced by angiotensin II binding to AT1 receptors.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, active sodium transport and its derived functions (e.g., plasma membrane potential) are dictated by the activity of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NK), whose regulation is essential for maintaining cell volume and composition, as well as other vital cell functions. Here we report the existence of a salt-inducible kinase-1 (SIK1) that associates constitutively with the NK regulatory complex and is responsible for increases in its catalytic activity following small elevations in intracellular sodium concentrations. Increases in intracellular sodium are paralleled by elevations in intracellular calcium through the reversible Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, leading to the activation of SIK1 (Thr-322 phosphorylation) by a calcium calmodulin-dependent kinase. Activation of SIK1 results in the dephosphorylation of the NK alpha-subunit and an increase in its catalytic activity. A protein phosphatase 2A/phosphatase methylesterase-1 (PME-1) complex, which constitutively associates with the NK alpha-subunit, is activated by SIK1 through phosphorylation of PME-1 and its dissociation from the complex. These observations illustrate the existence of a distinct intracellular signaling network, with SIK1 at its core, which is triggered by a monovalent cation (Na(+)) and links sodium permeability to its active transport.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nongenomic actions of 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) occur quite rapidly usually via activation of signaling cascades. In this review, we focus on recent advances made in the understanding of activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway by T3 in alveolar epithelial cells, resulting in upregulation of Na,K-ATPase hydrolytic activity and potential physiological significance of this finding. RECENT FINDINGS T3 stimulates the Src family of kinases. Activation of Src-kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B is required for the T3-induced stimulation of alveolar epithelial Na,K-ATPase activity in rat alveolar epithelial cells. The stimulation does not require transcription. This T3-sensitive Na,K-ATPase stimulation in rat alveolar epithelial cells is switched on late in gestation. In skin fibroblasts phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is also involved in the nongenomic T3 stimulation of ZAK1-4alpha protein expression, an endogenous calcineurin inhibitor. SUMMARY T3 plays an important role in cell survival and differentiation. Nongenomic regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and downstream molecules by T3 is being recognized in different tissues. Upregulation of alveolar Na,K-ATPase is one such molecule, which plays an important role in removal of edema fluid from the alveolar space. These effects are rapid and do not require direct nuclear gene transcription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dopamine is a major regulator of sodium reabsorption in proximal tubule epithelia. By binding to D1-receptors, dopamine induces endocytosis of plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase, resulting in a reduced capacity of the cells to transport sodium, thus contributing to natriuresis. We have previously demonstrated several aspects of the molecular mechanism by which dopamine induces Na,K-ATPase endocytosis; however, the location of intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules has not been identified. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In this study, we used different approaches to determine the localization of Na,K-ATPase-containing intracellular compartments. By expression of fluorescent-tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules in opossum kidney cells, a cell culture model of proximal tubule epithelia, we used fluorescence microscopy to determine cellular distribution of the fluorescent molecules and the effects of dopamine on this distribution. By labelling cell surface Na,K-ATPase molecules from the cell exterior with either biotin or an epitope-tagged antibody, we determined the localization of the tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules after endocytosis induced by dopamine. KEY RESULTS In cells expressing fluorescent-tagged Na,K-ATPase molecules, there were intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules. These compartments were in very close proximity to the plasma membrane. Upon treatment of the cells with dopamine, the fluorescence labelling of these compartments was increased. The labelling of these compartments was also observed when the endocytosis of biotin- or antibody-tagged plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase molecules was induced by dopamine. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The intracellular compartments containing Na,K-ATPase molecules are located just underneath the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Dopamine is a major regulator of sodium reabsorption in proximal tubule epithelia. It induces the endocytosis of plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase molecules, and this results in a reduced capacity of the cells to transport sodium. Dopamine induces the phosphorylation of Ser-18 in the alpha1-subunit of Na,K-ATPase. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis of cells expressing YFP-alpha1 and beta1-CFP reveals that treatment of the cells with dopamine increases energy transfer between CFP and YFP. This is consistent with a protein conformational change that results in the N-terminal end of alpha1 moving closer to the internal face of the plasma membrane.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of PKC-stimulating 12-deoxyphorbol 13-phenylacetate 20-acetate (DOPPA) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) phorbol esters on cAMP-dependent, forskolin (FSK)-stimulated, short-circuit Cl- current (ISC-cAMP) generation by colonocyte monolayers. These agonists elicited different actions depending on their dose and incubation time; PMA effects at the onset (<5 min) were independent of cAMP agonist and were characterized by transient anion-dependent transcellular and apical membrane ISC generation. DOPPA failed to elicit similar responses. Whereas chronic (24 h) exposure to both agents inhibited FSK-stimulated transcellular and apical membrane ISC-cAMP, the effects of DOPPA were more complex: this conventional PKC-beta-specific agonist also stimulated Ba2+-sensitive basolateral membrane-dependent facilitation of transcellular ISC-cAMP. PMA did not elicit a similar phenomenon. Prolonged exposure to high-dose PMA but not DOPPA led to apical membrane ISC-cAMP recovery. Changes in PKC alpha-, beta1-, gamma-, and epsilon-isoform membrane partitioning and expression correlated with these findings. PMA-induced transcellular ISC correlated with PKC-alpha membrane association, whereas low doses of both agents inhibited transcellular and apical membrane ISC-cAMP, increased PKC-beta1, decreased PKC-beta2 membrane association, and caused reciprocal changes in isoform mass. During the apical membrane ISC-cAMP recovery after prolonged high-dose PMA exposure, an almost-complete depletion of cellular PKC-beta1 and a significant reduction in PKC-epsilon mass occurred. Thus activated PKC-beta1 and/or PKC-epsilon prevented, whereas activated PKC-alpha facilitated, apical membrane ISC-cAMP. PKC-beta-dependent augmentation of transcellular ISC-cAMP at the level of the basolateral membrane demonstrated that transport events with geographically distinct subcellular membranes can be independently regulated by the PKC beta-isoform.

Abstract
In this review, we outline the application and contribution of transgenic technology to establishing the genetic basis of blood pressure regulation and its dysfunction. Apart from a small number of examples where high blood pressure is the result of single gene mutation, essential hypertension is the sum of interactions between multiple environmental and genetic factors. Candidate genes can be identified by a variety of means including linkage analysis, quantitative trait locus analysis, association studies, and genome-wide scans. To test the validity of candidate genes, it is valuable to model hypertension in laboratory animals. Animal models generated through selective breeding strategies are often complex, and the underlying mechanism of hypertension is not clear. A complementary strategy has been the use of transgenic technology. Here one gene can be selectively, tissue specifically, or developmentally overexpressed, knocked down, or knocked out. Although resulting phenotypes may still be complicated, the underlying genetic perturbation is a starting point for identifying interactions that lead to hypertension. We recognize that the development and maintenance of hypertension may involve many systems including the vascular, cardiac, and central nervous systems. However, given the central role of the kidney in normal and abnormal blood pressure regulation, we intend to limit our review to models with a broadly renal perspective.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) is thought to be an important regulator of Na+reabsorption in the kidney. It has been proposed that SGK1 mediates the effects of aldosterone on transepithelial Na+transport. Previous studies have shown that SGK1 increases Na+transport and epithelial Na+channel (ENaC) activity in the apical membrane of renal epithelial cells. SGK1 has also been implicated in the modulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity, the transporter responsible for basolateral Na+efflux, although this observation has not been confirmed in renal epithelial cells. We examined Na+-K+-ATPase function in an A6 renal epithelial cell line that expresses SGK1 under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter. The results showed that expression of a constitutively active mutant of SGK1 (SGK1TS425D) increased the transport activity of Na+-K+-ATPase 2.5-fold. The increase in activity was a direct consequence of activation of the pump itself. The onset of Na+-K+-ATPase activation was observed between 6 and 24 h after induction of SGK1 expression, a delay that is significantly longer than that required for activation of ENaC in the same cell line (1 h). SGK1 and aldosterone stimulated the Na+pump synergistically, indicating that the pathways mediated by these molecules operate independently. This observation was confirmed by demonstrating that aldosterone, but not SGK1TS425D, induced an ∼2.5-fold increase in total protein and plasma membrane Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit abundance. We conclude that aldosterone increases the abundance of Na+-K+-ATPase, whereas SGK1 may activate existing pumps in the membrane in response to chronic or slowly acting stimuli.

Abstract
Renal sodium homeostasis is a major determinant of BP and is regulated by several natriuretic and antinatriuretic hormones. These hormones, acting through intracellular secondary messengers, either activate or inhibit proximal tubule Na,K-ATPase. It was shown previously that phorbol esters and angiotensin II and serotonin induce the phosphorylation of both Ser-11 and Ser-18 of the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit. This results in the recruitment of Na,K-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane and an increased capacity to transport sodium ions. Treatment of the same cells with dopamine leads to phosphorylation of the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit Ser-18. The subsequent internalization of Na,K-ATPase molecules results in a reduced capacity to transport sodium ions. These effects are observed in cells that express the rat-type Na,K-ATPase. However, the Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit of several species, such as human, pig, and mouse, does not have a Ser-18 in their N-terminal region. Therefore, the possibility exists that, in those species, the Na,K-ATPase is not regulated by the hormones that regulate natriuresis. This study presents evidence that in cells that express the human-type Na,K-ATPase, dopamine inhibits and phorbol esters activate the Na,K-ATPase-mediated transport. These opposite effects are mediated by the phosphorylation of the same amino acid residue, Ser-11 of Na,K-ATPase alpha1, and the presence of alpha1 Ser-18 is not essential for the hormonal regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity in LLCPK1 cells. It was observed that, whereas the regulatory stimulation of Na,K-ATPase is mediated by protein kinase Cbeta, the regulatory inhibition is mediated by protein kinase Czeta. This is similar to what was demonstrated previously in cells that express the rat-type Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Abnormalities in dopamine production and receptor function have been described in human essential hypertension and rodent models of genetic hypertension. Under normal conditions, D(1)-like receptors (D(1) and D(5)) inhibit sodium transport in the kidney and intestine. However, in the Dahl salt-sensitive and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and in humans with essential hypertension, the D(1)-like receptor-mediated inhibition of epithelial sodium transport is impaired because of an uncoupling of the D(1)-like receptor from its G protein/effector complex. The uncoupling is receptor specific, organ selective, nephron-segment specific, precedes the onset of hypertension, and cosegregates with the hypertensive phenotype. The defective transduction of the renal dopaminergic signal is caused by activating variants of G protein-coupled receptor kinase type 4 (GRK4: R65L, A142V, A486V). The GRK4 locus is linked to and GRK4 gene variants are associated with human essential hypertension, especially in salt-sensitive hypertensive subjects. Indeed, the presence of three or more GRK4 variants impairs the natriuretic response to dopaminergic stimulation in humans. In genetically hypertensive rats, renal inhibition of GRK4 expression ameliorates the hypertension. In mice, overexpression of GRK4 variants causes hypertension either with or without salt sensitivity according to the variant. GRK4 gene variants, by preventing the natriuretic function of the dopaminergic system and by allowing the antinatriuretic factors (e.g., angiotensin II type 1 receptor) to predominate, may be responsible for salt sensitivity. Subclasses of hypertension may occur because of additional perturbations caused by variants of other genes, the quantitative interaction of which may vary depending upon the genetic background.

Abstract
In the current report we review the results that lay grounds for the model of intracellular sodium-mediated dopamine-induced endocytosis of Na,K-ATPase. Under conditions of a high salt diet, dopamine activates PKCzeta, which phosphorylates NKA alpha1 Ser-18. The phosphorylation produces a conformational change of alpha1 NH2-terminus, which through interaction with other domains of alpha1 exposes PI3K- and AP-2-binding domains. PI3K bound to the NKA alpha1 induces the recruitment and activation of other proteins involved in endocytosis, and PI3K-generated 3-phosphoinositides affect the local cytoskeleton and modify the biophysical conditions of the membrane for development of clathrin-coated pits. Plasma membrane phosphorylated NKA is internalized to specialized intracellular compartments where the NKA will be dephosphorylated. The NKA internalization results in a reduced Na+ transport by proximal tubule epithelial cells.

Abstract
Clathrin-dependent endocytosis of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules in response to G protein-coupled receptor signals is triggered by phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit and the binding of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. In this study, we describe a molecular mechanism linking phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit to binding and activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Co-immunoprecipitation studies, as well as experiments using confocal microscopy, revealed that dopamine favored the association of 14-3-3 protein with the basolateral plasma membrane and its co-localization with the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit. The functional relevance of this interaction was established in opossum kidney cells expressing a 14-3-3 dominant negative mutant, where dopamine failed to decrease Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and to promote its endocytosis. The phosphorylated Ser-18 residue within the alpha-subunit N terminus is critical for 14-3-3 binding. Activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase by dopamine during Na(+),K(+)-ATPase endocytosis requires the binding of the kinase to a proline-rich domain within the alpha-subunit, and this effect was blocked by the presence of a 14-3-3 dominant negative mutant. Thus, the 14-3-3 protein represents a critical linking mechanism for recruiting phosphoinositide 3-kinase to the site of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase endocytosis.

Abstract
Alpha-adducin polymorphism in humans is associated with abnormal renal sodium handling and high blood pressure. The mechanisms by which mutations in adducin affect the renal set point for sodium excretion are not known. Decreases in Na+,K+-ATPase activity attributable to endocytosis of active units in renal tubule cells by dopamine regulates sodium excretion during high-salt diet. Milan rats carrying the hypertensive adducin phenotype have a higher renal tubule Na+,K+-ATPase activity, and their Na+,K+-ATPase molecules do not undergo endocytosis in response to dopamine as do those of the normotensive strain. Dopamine fails to promote the interaction between adaptins and the Na+,K+-ATPase because of adaptin-mu2 subunit hyperphosphorylation. Expression of the hypertensive rat or human variant of adducin into normal renal epithelial cells recreates the hypertensive phenotype with higher Na+,K+-ATPase activity, mu2-subunit hyperphosphorylation, and impaired Na+,K+-ATPase endocytosis. Thus, increased renal Na+,K+-ATPase activity and altered sodium reabsorption in certain forms of hypertension could be attributed to a mutant form of adducin that impairs the dynamic regulation of renal Na+,K+-ATPase endocytosis in response to natriuretic signals.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase is responsible for maintaining the correct concentrations of sodium and potassium in lens cells. Na,K-ATPase activity is different in the two cell types that make up the lens, epithelial cells and fibers; specific activity in the epithelium is higher than in fibers. In some parts of the fiber mass Na,K-ATPase activity is barely detectable. There is a large body of evidence that suggests Na,K-ATPase-mediated ion transport by the epithelium contributes significantly to the regulation of ionic composition in the entire lens. In some species different Na,K-ATPase isoforms are present in epithelium and fibers but in general, fibers and epithelium express a similar amount of Na,K-ATPase protein. Turnover of Na,K-ATPase by protein synthesis may contribute to preservation of high Na,K-ATPase activity in the epithelium. In ageing lens fibers, oxidation, and glycation may decrease Na,K-ATPase activity. Na,K-ATPase activity in lens fibers and epithelium also may be subject to regulation as the result of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, activation of G protein-coupled receptors by agonists such as endothelin-1 elicits changes of Na,K-ATPase activity. The asymmetrical distribution of Na,K-ATPase activity in the epithelium and fibers may contribute to ionic currents that flow in and around the lens. Studies on human cataract and experimental cataract in animals reveal changes of Na,K-ATPase activity but no clear pattern is evident. However, there is a convincing link between abnormal elevation of lens sodium and the opacification of the lens cortex that occurs in age-related human cataract.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether protein kinase C-epsilon (PKC-epsilon) is involved in the repair of mitochondrial function and/or active Na+ transport after oxidant injury in renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC). Sublethal injury was produced in primary cultures of RPTC using tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP), and the recovery of functions was examined. PKC-epsilon was activated three- to fivefold after injury. Active PKC-epsilon translocated to the mitochondria. Basal oxygen consumption (Qo2), uncoupled Qo2, and ATP production decreased 58, 60, and 41%, respectively, at 4 h and recovered by day 4 after injury. At 4 h, complex I-coupled respiration decreased 50% but complex II- and IV-coupled respirations were unchanged. Inhibition of PKC-epsilon translocation using a peptide selective inhibitor, PKC-epsilonV1-2, reduced decreases in basal and uncoupled Qo2 values and increased complex I-linked respiration in TBHP-injured RPTC at 4 h of recovery. Furthermore, PKC-epsilonV1-2 prevented decreases in ATP production in injured RPTC. Na+-K+-ATPase activity and ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake were decreased by 60 and 53%, respectively, at 4 h of recovery. Inhibition of PKC-epsilon activation prevented a decline in Na+-K+-ATPase activity and reduced decreases in ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. We conclude that during early repair after oxidant injury in RPTC 1) PKC-epsilon is activated and translocated to mitochondria; 2) PKC-epsilon activation decreases mitochondrial respiration, electron transport rate, and ATP production by reducing complex I-linked respiration; and 3) PKC-epsilon mediates decreases in active Na+ transport and Na+-K+-ATPase activity. These data show that PKC-epsilon activation after oxidant injury in RPTC is involved in the decreases in mitochondrial function and active Na+ transport and that inhibition of PKC-epsilon activation promotes the repair of these functions.

Abstract
The balance and cross-talk between natruretic and antinatruretic hormone receptors plays a critical role in the regulation of renal Na+ homeostasis, which is a major determinant of blood pressure. Dopamine and angiotensin II have antagonistic effects on renal Na+ and water excretion, which involves regulation of the Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Herein we demonstrate that angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation of AT1 receptors in proximal tubule cells induces the recruitment of Na+,K+-ATPase molecules to the plasmalemma, in a process mediated by protein kinase Cbeta and interaction of the Na+,K+-ATPase with adaptor protein 1. Ang II stimulation led to phosphorylation of the alpha subunit Ser-11 and Ser-18 residues, and substitution of these amino acids with alanine residues completely abolished the Ang II-induced stimulation of Na+,K+-ATPase-mediated Rb+ transport. Thus, for Ang II-dependent stimulation of Na+,K+-ATPase activity, phosphorylation of these serine residues is essential and may constitute a triggering signal for recruitment of Na+,K+-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane. When cells were treated simultaneously with saturating concentrations of dopamine and Ang II, either activation or inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase activity was produced dependent on the intracellular Na+ concentration, which was varied in a very narrow physiological range (9-19 mm). A small increase in intracellular Na+ concentrations induces the recruitment of D1 receptors to the plasma membrane and a reduction in plasma membrane AT1 receptors. Thus, one or more proteins may act as an intracellular Na+ concentration sensor and play a major regulatory role on the effect of hormones that regulate proximal tubule Na+ reabsorption.

Abstract
The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase traffics between the plasma membrane and intracellular compartments in response to acute changes in membrane receptor activation. These effects are accomplished by a time-dependent interaction of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit with specific intracellular signaling molecules either at the plasma membrane (endocytosis) or at the endosome's membranes (recruitment). Most of these studies have been performed in rat renal epithelial cells in which only the alpha(1) isoenzyme is present. Studies in neurons from the neostriatum in which all three alpha-subunit isoforms are present indicate that neurotransmitter-dependent regulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity displays isoform specificity and also suggest a more complex organization of the intracellular signaling networks controlling Na(+),K(+)-ATPase traffic in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) increases Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in lung alveolar epithelial cells. This effect is associated with an increase in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules within the plasma membrane (). Analysis of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase motion was performed in real-time in alveolar cells stably expressing Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules carrying a fluorescent tag (green fluorescent protein) in the alpha-subunit. The data demonstrate a distinct (random walk) pattern of basal movement of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase-containing vesicles in nontreated cells. DA increased the directional movement (by 3.5 fold) of the vesicles and an increase in their velocity (by 25%) that consequently promoted the incorporation of vesicles into the plasma membrane. The movement of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase-containing vesicles and incorporation into the plasma membrane were microtubule dependent, and disruption of this network perturbed vesicle motion toward the plasma membrane and prevented the increase in the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity induced by DA. Thus, recruitment of new Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules into the plasma membrane appears to be a major mechanism by which dopamine increases total cell Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity.

Abstract
1. The present study demonstrates that stimulation of hormonal receptors of proximal tubule cells with the serotonin-agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetraline (8-OH-DPAT) induces an augmentation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity that results from the recruitment of enzyme molecules to the plasmalemma. 2. Cells expressing the rodent wild-type Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit had the same basal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity as cells expressing the alpha-subunit S11A or S18A mutants, but stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was completely abolished in either mutant. 3. 8-OH-DPAT treatment of OK cells led to PKC(beta)-dependent phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit Ser-11 and Ser-18 residues, and determination of enzyme activity with the S11A and S18A mutants indicated that both residues are essential for the agonist-dependent stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. 4. When cells were treated with both dopamine and 8-OH-DPAT, an activation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was observed at basal intracellular sodium concentration (approximately 9 mM), and this activation was gradually reduced and became a significant inhibition as the concentration of intracellular sodium gradually increased from 9 to 19 mM. Thus, besides the antagonistic effects of dopamine and 8-OH-DPAT, intracellular sodium modulates whether an activation or an inhibition of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is produced.
