Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent stimulation of the AT1 receptor in proximal tubules increases sodium reabsorption and blood pressure. Reabsorption is driven by the Na,K-pump that is acutely stimulated by Ang II, which requires phosphorylation of serine-938 (S938). This site is present in humans and only known to phosphorylated by PKA. Yet, activation of AT1 decreases cAMP required to activate PKA and inhibiting PKA does not block Ang II-dependent phosphorylation of S938. We tested the hypothesis that Ang II-dependent activation is mediated via increased phosphorylation at S938 through a PI3K/AKT-dependent pathway. Experiments were conducted using opossum kidney cells, a proximal tubule cell line, stably co-expressing the AT1 receptor and either the wild-type (α-1.wild-type) or an alanine substituted (α-1.S938A) form of rat kidney Na,K-pump. A 5-min exposure to 10 pM Ang II significantly activated Na,K-pump activity (56%) measured as short-circuit current across polarized α-1.wild-type cells. Wortmannin, at a concentration that selectively inhibits PI3K, blocked that Ang II-dependent activation. Ang II did not stimulate Na,K-pump activity in α-1.S938A cells. Ang II at 10 and 100 pM increased phosphorylation at S938 in α-1.wild-type cells measured in whole cell lysates. The increase was inhibited by wortmannin plus H-89, an inhibitor of PKA, not by either alone. Ang II activated AKT inhibited by wortmannin, not H-89. These data support our hypothesis and show that Ang II-dependent phosphorylation at S938 stimulates Na,K-pump activity and transcellular sodium transport.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanisms by which chronic administration of a multideficient diet after weaning alters bodily Na+ handling, and culminates in high systolic blood pressure (SBP) at a juvenile age. From 28 to 92 days of age, weaned male Wistar rats were given a diet with low content and poor-quality protein, and low lipid, without vitamin supplementation, which mimics the diets consumed in impoverished regions worldwide. We measured food, energy and Na+ ingestion, together with urinary Na+ excretion, Na+ density (Na+ intake/energy intake), plasma Na+ concentration, SBP, and renal proximal tubule Na+-transporting ATPases. Undernourished rats aged 92 days had only one-third of the control body mass, lower plasma albumin, higher SBP, higher energy intake, and higher positive Na+ balance accompanied by decreased plasma Na+ concentration. Losartan or Ang-(3–4) normalized SBP, and the combination of the 2 substances induced an accentuated negative Na+ balance as a result of strong inhibition of Na+ ingestion. Na+ density in undernourished rats was higher than in control, irrespective of the treatment, and they had downregulated (Na++K+)ATPase and upregulated Na+-ATPase in proximal tubule cells, which returned to control levels after Losartan or Ang-(3–4). We conclude that Na+ density, not only Na+ ingestion, plays a central role in the pathophysiology of elevated SBP in chronically undernourished rats. The observations that Losartan and Ang-(3–4) normalized SBP together with negative Na+ balance give support to the proposal that Ang II⇒AT1R and Ang II⇒AT2R axes have opposite roles within the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system of undernourished juvenile rats.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP and Ca2+ are the first second or intracellular messengers identified, unveiling the cellular mechanisms activated by a plethora of extracellular signals, including hormones. Cyclic AMP generation is catalyzed by adenylyl cyclases (ACs), which convert ATP into cAMP and pyrophosphate. By the way, Ca2+, as energy, can neither be created nor be destroyed; Ca2+ can only be transported, from one compartment to another, or chelated by a variety of Ca2+-binding molecules. The fine regulation of cytosolic concentrations of cAMP and free Ca2+ is crucial in cell function and there is an intimate cross-talk between both messengers to fine-tune the cellular responses. Cancer is a multifactorial disease resulting from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Frequent cases of cAMP and/or Ca2+ homeostasis remodeling have been described in cancer cells. In those tumoral cells, cAMP and Ca2+ signaling plays a crucial role in the development of hallmarks of cancer, including enhanced proliferation and migration, invasion, apoptosis resistance, or angiogenesis. This review summarizes the cross-talk between the ACs/cAMP and Ca2+ intracellular pathways with special attention to the functional and reciprocal regulation between Orai1 and AC8 in normal and cancer cells.

Abstract
The sperm-derived oocyte activating factor, phospholipase C zeta (PLC ζ), is the only PLC isoform reported in cattle. The objectives were to (1) localize PLC ζ in fresh and capacitated bovine sperm and (2) investigate the activation of PLC ζ during bull sperm capacitation and contributions of PLC activity to this process. We confirmed interaction of testis-specific isoform of Na/K-ATPase (ATP1A4) with PLC ζ (immunolocalization and immunoprecipitation) and tyrosine phosphorylation (immunoprecipitation) of PLC ζ (a post-translational protein modification commonly involved in activation of PLC in somatic cells) during capacitation. Furthermore, incubation of sperm under capacitating conditions upregulated PLC-mediated hyperactivated motility, tyrosine phosphoprotein content, acrosome reaction, and F-actin formation (flow cytometry), implying that PLC activity is enhanced during capacitation and contributing to these capacitation processes. In conclusion, we inferred that PLC ζ is activated during capacitation by tyrosine phosphorylation through a mechanism involving ATP1A4, contributing to capacitation-associated biochemical events.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids induce a rapid synthesis of endocannabinoid in hypothalamic neuroendocrine cells by activation of a putative membrane receptor. Somato-dendritically released endocannabinoid acts as a retrograde messenger to suppress excitatory synaptic inputs to corticotropin-releasing hormone-, oxytocin-, and vasopressin-secreting cells. The non-genomic signaling mechanism responsible for rapid endocannabinoid synthesis by glucocorticoids has yet to be fully characterized. Here we manipulated cell signaling molecules pharmacologically using an intracellular approach to elucidate the signaling pathway activated by the membrane glucocorticoid receptor in hypothalamic neuroendocrine cells. We found that rapid glucocorticoid-induced endocannabinoid synthesis in magnocellular neuroendocrine cells requires the sequential activation of multiple kinases, phospholipase C, and intracellular calcium mobilization. While there remain gaps in our understanding, our findings reveal many of the critical players in the rapid glucocorticoid signaling that culminates in the retrograde endocannabinoid modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to investigate the possible mechanism of the synergistic analgesic effect of propofol-alfentanil combination. METHODS The synergistic analgesic effects of propofol-alfentanil combination in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were analysed through the von Frey test. Then, we examined the activity of phospholipase C (PLC) and the intracellular levels of Ca(2+) and adenosine 3', 5'cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in primary neuronal cells of fetal SD rats. We detected the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by fluorescence and flow cytometry. The PLC activity of the primary neuronal cells was assayed using the EnzChek(®) Direct Phospholipase C Assay Kit. The cAMP content of the cells was assayed using the cAMP Direct Immunoassay Kit (Fluorometric). KEY FINDINGS Both propofol and alfentanil treatments depressed cAMP levels and PLC activity, but propofol-alfentanil combination decreased these parameters to a greater extent than alfentanil treatment alone. Propofol and alfentanil both inhibited Ca(2+) channel, but propofol-alfentanil combination suppressed this channel to a greater extent than alfentanil treatment alone. Fluorescent image analysis revealed that both propofol and alfentanil reduced the intracellular levels of Ca(2+) , and propofol-alfentanil combination showed weaker signals than alfentanil alone. Propofol-alfentanil combination significantly reduced intracellular Ca(2+) level, cAMP level and PLC activity. CONCLUSION Propofol and alfentanil exert synergistic analgesic effects through the adenylyl cyclase pathway.

The endocannabinoid system in renal cells: regulation of Na(+) transport by CB1 receptors through distinct cell signalling pathways. Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:4615-25. [PMID: 25537261 DOI: 10.1111/bph.13050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2014] [Revised: 06/22/2015] [Accepted: 06/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The function of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in renal tissue is not completely understood. Kidney function is closely related to ion reabsorption in the proximal tubule, the nephron segment responsible for the re-absorption of 70-80% of the filtrate. We studied the effect of compounds modulating the activity of cannabinoid (CB) receptors on the active re-absorption of Na(+) in LLC-PK1 cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Changes in Na(+) /K(+) -ATPase activity were assessed after treatment with WIN55,212-2 (WIN), a non-selective lipid agonist, and haemopressin (HP), an inverse peptide agonist at CB1 receptors. Pharmacological tools were used to investigate the signalling pathways involved in the modulation of Na(+) transport. KEY RESULTS In addition to CB1 and CB2 receptors and TRPV1 channels, the mRNAs encoding for enzymes of the ECS were also expressed in LLC-PK1. WIN (10(-7) M) and HP (10(-6) M) altered Na(+) re-absorption in LLC-PK1 in a dual manner. They both acutely (after 1 min) increased Na(+) /K(+) -ATPase activity in a TRPV1 antagonist-sensitive way. WIN's stimulating effect persisted for 30 min, and this effect was partially blocked by a CB1 antagonist or a PKC inhibitor. In contrast, HP inhibited Na(+) /K(+) -ATPase after 30 min incubation, and this effect was attenuated by a CB1 antagonist or a PKA inhibitor. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS The ECS is expressed in LLC-PK1 cells. Both CB1 receptors and TRPV1 channels regulate Na(+) /K(+) -ATPase activity in these cells, and are modulated by lipid and peptide CB1 receptor ligands, which act via different signalling pathways.

Abstract
We have previously shown that ovariectomy in adult Wistar rats under normal sodium (NS) intake results in an overexpression of the total Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (NKA) α1-subunit (Di Ciano LA, Azurmendi PJ, Toledo JE, Oddo EM, Zotta E, Ochoa F, Arrizurieta EE, Ibarra FR. Clin Exp Hypertens 35: 475-483, 2013). Upon high sodium (HS) intake, ovariectomized (oVx) rats developed defective NKA phosphorylation, a decrease in sodium excretion, and an increment in mean blood pressure (MBP). Since NKA phosphorylation is modulated by dopamine (DA), the aim of this study was to compare the intracellular response of the renal DA system leading to NKA phosphorylation upon sodium challenge in intact female (IF) and oVx rats. In IF rats, HS caused an increase in urinary DA and sodium, in NKA phosphorylation state, in cytochrome P-4504A (CYP4A) expression, and in 20-HETE production, while MBP kept normal. Blockade of the D1 receptor (D1R) with the D1-like receptor antagonist SCH 23390 in IFHS rats shifted NKA into a more dephosphorylated state, decreased sodium excretion by 50%, and increased MBP. In oVxNS rats, D1R expression was reduced and D3R expression was increased, and under HS intake sodium excretion was lower and MBP higher than in IFHS rats (both P < 0.05), NKA was more dephosphorylated than in IFHS, and CYP4A expression or 20-HETE production did not change. Blockade of D1R in oVxHS rats changed neither NKA phosphorylation state nor sodium excretion or MBP. D2R and PKCα expression did not vary among groups. The alteration of the renal DA system produced by ovariectomy could account for the defective NKA phosphorylation, the inefficient excretion of sodium load, and the development of salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
Our previous work indicated that the subfornical organ (SFO) is an important brain sensor of blood-borne proinflammatory cytokines, mediating their central effects on autonomic and cardiovascular function. However, the mechanisms by which SFO mediates the central effects of circulating proinflammatory cytokines remain unclear. We hypothesized that proinflammatory cytokines act within the SFO to upregulate the expression of excitatory and inflammatory mediators that drive sympathetic nerve activity. In urethane-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, direct microinjection of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (25 ng) or interleukin (IL)-1β (25 ng) into SFO increased mean blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity within 15 to 20 minutes, mimicking the response to systemically administered proinflammatory cytokines. Pretreatment of SFO with microinjections of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker losartan (1 μg), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (1 μg) or cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor NS-398 (2 μg) attenuated those responses. Four hours after the SFO microinjection of TNF-α (25 ng) or IL-1β (25 ng), mRNA for angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II type-1 receptor, TNF-α and the p55 TNF-α receptor, IL-1β and the IL-1R receptor, and cyclooxygenase-2 had increased in SFO, and mRNA for angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II type-1 receptor, and cyclooxygenase-2 had increased downstream in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. Confocal immunofluorescent images revealed that immunoreactivity for the p55 TNF-α receptor and the IL-1 receptor accessory protein, a subunit of the IL-1 receptor, colocalized with angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II type-1 receptor-like, cyclooxygenase-2, and prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptor immunoreactivity in SFO neurons. These data suggest that proinflammatory cytokines act within the SFO to upregulate the expression of inflammatory and excitatory mediators that drive sympathetic excitation.

Abstract
Rhodnius prolixus is a hematophagous insect vector of Chagas disease capable of ingesting up to 10 times its unfed body weight in blood in a single meal. The excess water and ions ingested with the meal are expelled through a rapid postprandial diuresis driven by the Malpighian tubules. Diuresis is triggered by at least two diuretic hormones, a CRF-related peptide and serotonin, which were traditionally believed to trigger cAMP as an intracellular second messenger. Recently, calcium has been suggested to act as a second messenger in serotonin-stimulated Malpighian tubules. Thus, we tested the role of calcium in serotonin-stimulated Malpighian tubules from R. prolixus. Our results show that serotonin triggers cAMP-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) waves that were blocked by incubation in Ca(2+)-free saline containing the cell membrane-permeant Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM, or the PKA blocker H-89. Treatment with 8-Br-cAMP triggered Ca(2+) waves that were blocked by H-89 and BAPTA-AM. Analysis of the secreted fluid in BAPTA-AM-treated tubules showed a 75% reduction in fluid secretion rate with increased K(+) concentration, reduced Na(+) concentration. Taken together, the results indicate that serotonin triggers cAMP and PKA-mediated Ca(2+) waves that are required for maximal ion transport rate.

Abstract
Determining the individual roles of the two dopamine D1-like receptors (D1R and D5R) on sodium transport in the human renal proximal tubule has been complicated by their structural and functional similarity. Here we used a novel D5R-selective antagonist (LE-PM436) and D1R or D5R-specific gene silencing to determine second messenger coupling pathways and heterologous receptor interaction between the two receptors. D1R and D5R co-localized in renal proximal tubule cells and physically interact, as determined by co-immunoprecipitation and FRET microscopy. Stimulation of renal proximal tubule cells with fenoldopam (D1R/D5R agonist) led to both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C (PLC) activation using real-time FRET biosensors ICUE3 and CYPHR, respectively. Fenoldopam increased cAMP accumulation and PLC activity and inhibited both NHE3 and NaKATPase activities. LE-PM436 and D5R siRNA blocked the fenoldopam-stimulated PLC pathway but not cAMP accumulation, while D1R siRNA blocked both fenoldopam-stimulated cAMP accumulation and PLC signaling. Either D1R or D5R siRNA, or LE-PM436 blocked the fenoldopam dependent inhibition of sodium transport. Further studies using the cAMP-selective D1R/D5R agonist SKF83822 and PLC-selective D1R/D5R agonist SKF83959 confirmed the cooperative influence of the two pathways on sodium transport. Thus, D1R and D5R interact in the inhibition of NHE3 and NaKATPase activity, the D1R primarily by cAMP, while the D1R/D5R heteromer modulates the D1R effect through a PLC pathway.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders possess common pathological mechanisms, such as protein aggregation, inflammation, oxidative stress (OS) and excitotoxicity, raising the possibility of shared therapeutic targets. As a result of the selective cellular and regional expression of group III metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, drugs targeting such receptors have demonstrated both neuroprotective properties and symptomatic improvements in several models of neurodegeneration. In recent years, the discovery and development of subtype-selective ligands for the group III mGlu receptors has gained pace, allowing further research into the functions of these receptors and revealing their roles in health and disease. Activation of this class of receptors results in neuroprotection, with a variety of underlying mechanisms implicated. Group III mGlu receptor stimulation prevents excitotoxicity by inhibiting glutamate release from neurons and microglia and increasing glutamate uptake by astrocytes. It also attenuates the neuroinflammatory response by reducing glial reactivity and encourages neurotrophic phenotypes. This article will review the current literature with regard to the neuroprotective and symptomatic effects of group III mGlu receptor activation and discuss their promise as therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative disease. We review the neuroprotective and symptomatic effects of targeting group III mGlu receptors in neurodegenerative disease: Excess extracellular glutamate causes overactivation of NMDA receptors resulting in excitotoxicity. Externalization of phosphatidylserine stimulates phagocytosis of neurons by activated microglia, which contribute to damage through glutamate and pro-inflammatory factor release. Reactive astrocytes produce cytotoxic factors enhancing neuronal cell death. Activation of group III mGlu receptors by glutamate and/or mGlu receptor ligands results in inhibition of glutamate release from presynaptic terminals and microglia, reducing excitotoxicity. Astrocytic glutamate uptake is increased and microglia produce neurotrophic factors.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) receptors, which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family, are the target of ~50% of all modern medicinal drugs and constitute a large and diverse class of proteins whose primary function is to transduce extracellular stimuli into intracellular signals. Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) is ubiquitous and crucial for the maintenance of intracellular ion homeostasis and excitability. Furthermore, it plays a critical role in diverse effects, including clinical cardiotonic and cardioprotective effects, ischemic preconditioning in the brain, natriuresis, lung edema clearance and other processes. NKA regulation is of physiological and pharmacological importance and has species- and tissue-specific variations. The activation of DA receptors regulates NKA expression/activity and trafficking in various tissues and cells, for example in the kidney, lung, intestine, brain, non-pigmented ciliary epithelium and the vascular bed. DA receptor-mediated regulation of NKA mediates a diverse range of cellular responses and includes endocytosis/exocytosis, phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the α subunit of NKA and multiple signaling pathways, including phosphatidylinositol (PI)-phospholipase C/protein kinase (PK) C, cAMP/PKA, PI3K, adaptor protein 2, tyrosine phosphatase and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase. Furthermore, in brain and HEK293T cells, D1 and D2 receptors exist in a complex with NKA. Among D1 and D2 receptors and NKA, regulations are reciprocal, which leads to crosstalk between DA receptors and NKA. In the present study, the current understanding of signaling mechanisms responsible for the crosstalk between DA receptors and NKA, as well as with specific consequent functions, is reviewed.

Abstract
Dopamine D(1)-like receptors consisting of D(1) and D(5) subtypes are intimately implicated in dopaminergic regulation of fundamental neurophysiologic processes such as mood, motivation, cognitive function, and motor activity. Upon stimulation, D(1)-like receptors initiate signal transduction cascades that are mediated through adenylyl cyclase or phosphoinositide metabolism, with subsequent enhancement of multiple downstream kinase cascades. The latter actions propagate and further amplify the receptor signals, thus predisposing D(1)-like receptors to multifaceted interactions with various other mediators and receptor systems. The adenylyl cyclase response to dopamine or selective D(1)-like receptor agonists is reliably associated with the D(1) subtype, while emerging evidence indicates that the phosphoinositide responses in native brain tissues may be preferentially mediated through stimulation of the D(5) receptor. Besides classic coupling of each receptor subtype to specific G proteins, additional biophysical models are advanced in attempts to account for differential subcellular distribution, heteromolecular oligomerization, and activity-dependent selectivity of the receptors. It is expected that significant advances in understanding of dopamine neurobiology will emerge from current and anticipated studies directed at uncovering the molecular mechanisms of D(5) coupling to phosphoinositide signaling, the structural features that might enhance pharmacological selectivity for D(5) versus D(1) subtypes, the mechanism by which dopamine may modulate phosphoinositide synthesis, the contributions of the various responsive signal mediators to D(1) or D(5) interactions with D(2)-like receptors, and the spectrum of dopaminergic functions that may be attributed to each receptor subtype and signaling pathway.

Abstract
Prolactin is a natriuretic hormone and acts by inhibiting the activity of renal tubular Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. These effects require an intact renal dopamine system. Here, we have studied by which mechanism prolactin and dopamine interact in Sprague-Dawley rat renal tissue. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was measured as ouabain-sensitive ATP hydrolysis in microdissected renal proximal tubular segments. Intracellular signaling pathways were studied by a variety of different techniques, including Western blotting using phosphospecific antibodies, immunoprecipitation, and biotinylation assays. We found that dopamine and prolactin regulated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity via similar signaling pathways, including protein kinase A, protein kinase C, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation. The cross talk between prolactin and dopamine 1-like receptors was explained by a heterologous recruitment of dopamine 1-like receptors to the plasma membrane in renal proximal tubular cells. Prolactin had no effect on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats, a rat strain with a blunted response to dopamine. These results further emphasize the central role of the renal dopamine system in the interactive regulation of renal tubular salt balance.

Abstract
Dopamine inhibited phosphate transport in isolated renal brush border membrane vesicles and in cultured renal proximal tubule cells from wild-type but not from NHERF-1 null mice. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments established that NHERF-1 associated with D1-like receptors. In wild-type mice, dopamine stimulated cAMP accumulation and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in renal proximal tubule cells, an effect that was abolished by SCH-23390, a D1-like receptor antagonist. In NHERF-1 null kidney tissue; however, dopamine failed to stimulate either cAMP accumulation or PKC activity. Infection of proximal tubule cells from NHERF-1 null mice with adenovirus-green fluorescent protein-NHERF-1 restored the ability of dopamine to stimulate cAMP and PKC. Finally, in (32)P-labeled wild-type proximal tubule cells and in opossum kidney cells, dopamine increased NHERF-1 phosphorylation at serine 77 of the PDZ I domain of NHERF-1, a site previously shown to attenuate binding of cellular targets including the Npt2a (sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2a). Together, these studies establish that NHERF-1 plays a key role in dopamine signaling and is also a downstream target of D1-like receptors in the mouse kidney. These studies suggest a novel role for the PDZ adapter protein NHERF-1 in coordinating dopamine signals that inhibit renal phosphate transport.

Abstract
Cellular signaling can inhibit the membrane Na(+)-K(+) pump via protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase and a downstream oxidative modification, glutathionylation, of the beta(1) subunit of the pump alpha/beta heterodimer. It is firmly established that cAMP-dependent signaling also regulates the pump, and we have now examined the hypothesis that such regulation can be mediated by glutathionylation. Exposure of rabbit cardiac myocytes to the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin increased the co-immunoprecipitation of NADPH oxidase subunits p47(phox) and p22(phox), required for its activation, and increased superoxide-sensitive fluorescence. Forskolin also increased glutathionylation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump beta(1) subunit and decreased its co-immunoprecipitation with the alpha(1) subunit, findings similar to those already established for PKC-dependent signaling. The decrease in co-immunoprecipitation indicates a decrease in the alpha(1)/beta(1) subunit interaction known to be critical for pump function. In agreement with this, forskolin decreased ouabain-sensitive electrogenic Na(+)-K(+) pump current (arising from the 3:2 Na(+):K(+) exchange ratio) of voltage-clamped, internally perfused myocytes. The decrease was abolished by the inclusion of superoxide dismutase, the inhibitory peptide for the epsilon-isoform of PKC or inhibitory peptide for NADPH oxidase in patch pipette solutions that perfuse the intracellular compartment. Pump inhibition was also abolished by inhibitors of protein kinase A and phospholipase C. We conclude that cAMP- and PKC-dependent inhibition of the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump occurs via a shared downstream oxidative signaling pathway involving NADPH oxidase activation and glutathionylation of the pump beta(1) subunit.

Abstract
The present experiments were designed to detail factors regulating phosphate transport in cultured mouse proximal tubule cells by determining the response to parathyroid hormone (PTH), dopamine, and second messenger agonists and inhibitors. Both PTH and dopamine inhibited phosphate transport by over 30%. The inhibitory effect of PTH was completely abolished in the presence of chelerythrine, a PKC inhibitor, but not by Rp-cAMP, a PKA inhibitor. By contrast, both chelerythrine and Rp-cAMP blocked the inhibitory effect of dopamine. Chelerythrine inhibited PTH-mediated cAMP accumulation but also blocked the inhibitory effect of 8-bromo-cAMP on phosphate transport. On the other hand, Rp-cAMP had no effect on the ability of DOG, a PKC activator, to inhibit phosphate transport. PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK, had no effect on PTH- or dopamine-mediated inhibition of sodium-phosphate cotransport. Finally, compared with 8-bromo-cAMP, 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP, an activator of EPAC, had no effect on phosphate transport. These results outline significant differences in the signaling pathways utilized by PTH and dopamine to inhibit renal phosphate transport. Our results also suggest that activation of MAPK is not critically involved in PTH- or dopamine-mediated inhibition of phosphate transport in mouse renal proximal tubule cells in culture.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that adenosine (Ado) reverses the stimulatory effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on Na(+)-ATPase activity via the A(2A) receptor. In this work, the molecular mechanism involved in Ado-induced shutdown in the signaling pathway triggered by 10(-8)M Ang II was investigated. It was observed that: (1) both 10(-12)M PMA (a PKC activator) and 5x10(-8)M U73122 (an inhibitor of PI-PLCbeta) prevent the reversion effect induced by 10(-6)M Ado (only observed in the presence of 10(-6)M DPCPX (an A(1) receptor antagonist)) on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities; (2) Ang II-stimulated PKC activity was reversed by 10(-6)M forskolin (an adenylyl cyclase activator) or 10(-8)M PKA inhibitory peptide and 10(-8)M DMPX (an A(2) receptor-selective antagonist). Considering that PMA prevents the inhibitory effect of Ado on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities, it is likely that the PMA-induced effect, i.e. PKC activation, is downstream of the target for Ado-induced reversion of Ang II stimulation of Na(+)-ATPase activity. We investigated the hypothesis that PI-PLCbeta could be the target for Ado-induced PKA activation. Our data demonstrate that Ang II-stimulated PI-PLCbeta activity was reversed by Ado or 10(-7)M cAMP; the reversibility of the Ado-induced effect was prevented by either DMPX or PKA inhibitory peptide. These data demonstrate that Ado-induced PKA activation reduces Ang II-induced stimulation of PI-PLCbeta.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the activity of Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger and the abundance of Slc26a6 in immortalized renal proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells from the Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and identified the signaling pathways that regulate the activity of the transporter. The affinity for HCO(3)(-) was identical in WKY and SHR PTE cells, but V(max) values (in pH units/min) in SHR PTE cells (0.4016) were significantly higher than in WKY PTE cells (0.2304). The expression of Slc26a6 in SHR PTE cells was sevenfold that in WKY PTE cells. Dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP) or forskolin, which increased endogenous cAMP, phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and anisomycin, significantly (P<0.05) increased the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger activity in WKY and SHR PTE cells to a similar extent. The stimulatory effects of db-cAMP and forskolin were prevented by the PKA inhibitor H89, but not by chelerythrine. The stimulatory effects of PDBu were prevented by both chelerythrine and SB 203580, but not by H89 or the MEK inhibitor PD 98059. The stimulatory effect of anisomycin was prevented by SB 203580, but not by chelerythrine. Increases in phospho-p38 MAPK by anisomycin were identical in WKY and SHR PTE cells, this being sensitive to SB 203580 but not to chelerythrine. It is concluded that SHR PTE cells, which overexpress the Slc26a6 protein, are endowed with an enhanced activity of the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger. The Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger is an effector protein for PKA, PKC and p38 MAPK in both WKY and SHR PTE cells.

Abstract
Growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and neurogranin are protein kinase C substrate proteins that are thought to play an important role in synaptic plasticity, but little is currently known about the mechanisms that may regulate their function at the synapse. In this study, we show that long-term elevation of intracellular cAMP levels in rat primary cortical cultures results in a persistent downregulation of GAP-43 and neurogranin, most likely at the transcriptional level. This effect may be at least partially mediated by protein kinase A, but is independent of protein kinase C activation. Moreover, it is mimicked and occluded by manipulations that alter the levels of spontaneous synaptic activity in primary cultures, such as bicuculline and tetrodotoxin. These data suggest that levels of GAP-43 and neurogranin are regulated by factors known to modulate synaptic strength, thus providing a potential mechanism by which protein kinase C signaling pathways and their substrates might contribute to synaptic function and/or plasticity.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on intestinal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) activity and the cellular signaling pathways involved in T84 cells. T84 cells express endogenous NHE1 and NHE2 proteins, detected by immunoblotting, but not NHE3. The rank order for inhibition of NHE activity in acid-loaded T84 cells was 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride (EIPA; IC(50)=519 [465, 579] nM)>cariporide (IC(50)=630 [484, 819] nM)>amiloride (IC(50)=19 [16, 24] microM); the NHE3 inhibitor S3226 was found to be devoid of effect. This different inhibitory sensitivity indicates that both NHE1 and NHE2 isoforms may play an active role in Na(+)-dependent intracellular pH (pH(i)) recovery in T84 cells. Short-term exposure (0.5 h) of T84 cells to 5-HT increased NHE activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The stimulation induced by 5-HT (30 microM) was partially inhibited by both WAY 100135 (300 nM) and ketanserin (300 nM), antagonists of 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2) receptors, respectively. NHE activity was significantly increased by 8-OH-DPAT and alpha-methyl-5-HT, agonists of, respectively, 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2) receptors. An incubation of T84 cells with anti-G(s) and anti-G(beta) antibodies complexed with lipofectin did not prevent the 5-HT-induced stimulation of NHE activity. Overnight treatment with anti-G(ialpha1,2) and anti-G(q/11) antibodies complexed with lipofectin blocked the stimulatory effect induced by 8-OH-DPAT and alpha-methyl-5-HT, respectively. It is concluded that in T84 cells 5-HT enhances intestinal NHE activity through stimulation of G(ialpha1,2)-coupled 5-HT(1A) and G(q/11)-coupled 5-HT(2) receptors.

Abstract
Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase plays a key role in the transport of Na(+) throughout the nephron, but ageing appears to be accompanied by changes in the regulation and localization of the pump. In the present study, we examined the effect of in vitro cell ageing on the transport of Na(+) and K(+) ions in opossum kidney (OK) cells in culture. Cells were aged by repeated passing, and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity and K(+) conductance were evaluated using electrophysiological methods. Na(+)K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)- and beta(1)-subunit expression was quantified by Western blot techniques. Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity, changes in membrane potential, cell viability, hydrogen peroxide production and cellular proliferation were determined using fluorimetric assays. In vitro cell ageing is accompanied by an increase in transepithelial Na(+) transport, which results from an increase in the number of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)- and beta(1)-subunits, in the membrane. Increases in Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity were accompanied by increases in K(+) conductance as a result of functional coupling between Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and basolateral K(+) channels. Cell depolarization induced by both KCl and ouabain was more pronounced in aged cells. No changes in Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity were observed. H(2)O(2) production was increased in aged cells, but exposure for 5 days to 1 and 10 microM: of H(2)O(2) had no effect on Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase expression. Ouabain (100 nM: ) increased alpha(1)-subunit, but not beta(1)-subunit, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase expression in aged cells only. These cells constitute an interesting model for the study of renal epithelial cell ageing.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of dopamine D1-like receptor stimulation on the Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity in rat intestinal epithelial IEC-6 cells. The Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity was found to be a chloride-dependent, DIDS-sensitive and niflumate-insensitive process. The presence of the SLC26A6 anion exchanger was detected by both RT-PCR and immunoblotting analysis in IEC-6 cells, in which three different small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting SLC26A6 markedly inhibited Cl-/HCO3- exchange. Activation of dopamine D1-like receptors with SKF 38393 inhibited Cl-/HCO3- exchanger activity, this being antagonized by the D1 selective antagonist SKF 83566. However, effects of SKF 38393 were maximal at 5 min of exposure to the agonist and rapidly diminished with no effect at 15 min, suggestive of agonist-induced desensitization of D1-like receptors. Pretreatment of cells with heparin, a non-selective inhibitor of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), prevented the observed attenuation of SKF 38393-induced inhibition of Cl-/HCO3- exchange. Overnight pretreatment with anti-GRK6A and anti-GRK6B, but not with anti-GRK4 antibodies, prevented the loss of SKF 38393-mediated effects. Both PKA and PKC signaling pathways participate in SKF 38393-mediated inhibition of Cl-/HCO3- exchange. These findings suggest that SLC26A6 is at least one of the anion exchanger's family members responsible for Cl-/HCO3- exchange in IEC-6 cells. Dopamine D1 receptors in IEC-6 rapidly desensitize to D1-like agonist stimulation and GRK 6, but not GRK 4, appear to be involved in agonist-mediated responsiveness and desensitization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The bile acids filtered through the glomeruli nearly completely escape urinary excretion due to an efficient tubular reabsorption process. Reabsorption is mediated mainly by the sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) which is located in the brush border membranes of proximal tubular cells. The present study addresses the question whether this transporter is subject to short-term regulation by protein kinases. METHODS The effects of specific activators or inhibitors of eight different protein kinases (PKs) on 3H-taurocholate uptake of proximal tubular cells were investigated. The cells were freshly isolated from rat kidneys by nycodenz density gradient centrifugation. RESULTS Activation of the cAMP/PKA system by forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP, or the cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine significantly diminished cellular 3H-taurocholate uptake whereas 8-Br-cGMP had no effect. Also the MEK1/2 inhibitors PD98059 and U0126, and the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitor SB203580 decreased 3H-taurocholate uptake. Phorbol myristate acetate and dioctanolglycerol, activators of PKC, and chelerythrine, a selective inhibitor of PKC, did not affect 3H-taurocholate uptake. Likewise the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein induced no significant change of cellular 3H-taurocholate uptake. In a sodium-free medium forskolin and PD98059 did not affect 3H-taurocholate uptake but SB203580 significantly decreased it. CONCLUSION It is concluded that PKA and MAP kinases are involved in the regulation of the ASBT-mediated taurocholate uptake into proximal tubular cells. p38 MAP kinase may have an additional effect on a sodium-independent tubular taurocholate transporter.

Abstract
Adenylyl cyclase is activated by prostaglandin E and inhibited by mu-opioids. Since cAMP-related events influence the activity of the Na Pump and its biochemical correlate Na,K-ATPase in many systems, we tested the hypothesis that prostaglandin E1 and [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO), a mu-opioid agonist, have opposing actions on Na,K-ATPase activity. Studies were conducted with alamethicin-permeabilized SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Prostaglandin E1 (1 microM) transiently inhibited Na,K-ATPase activity for 10-15 min. A direct activator of protein kinase A, 8-Br-cAMP (150 and 500 microM), also inhibited, but more rapidly and for a shorter duration. Both DAMGO (1 microM) and Rp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (500 microM), a protein kinase A-inhibitor, reversed the inhibitory effect of prostaglandin E1. DAMGO alone (1 microM) stimulated Na,K-ATPase activity up to nearly three-fold control activity. The stimulatory action of DAMGO was blocked by cyclosporine A (2 microM), an inhibitor of calcineurin, and was dependent on Ca2+ entry through nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ channels. In the presence of 1 mM EGTA, DAMGO inhibited Na,K-ATPase activity. DAMGO-induced inhibition was blocked by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor antagonist xestospongin C (1 microM). Na,K-ATPase is poised to modulate neuronal excitability through its roles in maintaining the membrane potential and transmembrane ion gradients. The differential effects of prostaglandin E1 and opioids on Na,K-ATPase activity may be related to their actions in hyperalgesia.

Abstract
Altered glial function that leads to oxidative stress and excitotoxicity may contribute to the initiation or progression of neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. We report the pivotal role of astroglial Group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) against neurotoxicity. Activation of Group II or III mGluR on astrocytes with selective agonists DCG-IV or L-AP4 respectively inhibited astroglial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-conditioned medium induced apoptosis of primary cultured mesencephalic neurons. Specific Group II or III mGluR antagonists APICA or MSOP completely abolished the neuroprotective effects of DCG-IV and L-AP4. Morphologic analysis showed that DCG-IV or L-AP4 could also attenuate the astroglial neurotoxicity to dopaminergic neurons. Measurement of extracellular glutamate concentration and [(3)H]-glutamate uptake showed that the restoration of glutamate uptake capability in LPS-treated astrocytes might be involved in the neuroprotective effects of activating astroglial Group II or III mGluR. Furthermore, we found that the repression of astroglial uptake function could be revived by GSH, and both Group II and III mGluR agonists could recover the endogenous reduced glutathione (GSH) level in LPS-treated astrocytes. These results suggested that the possible mechanisms of neuroprotection by either Type II or Type III mGluR activation may involve restoration of endogenous GSH, in turn affording recovery of astroglial capability to take up glutamate.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effect of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on intestinal Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) activity and the intracellular signaling pathways set into motion after IFN-gamma receptor activation. Caco-2 cells express endogenous NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 proteins, as detected by immunoblotting. Short- (0.5 h) and long- (24 h) term exposure of Caco-2 cells to IFN-gamma resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in NHE activity. Inhibition of NHE activity by IFN-gamma was absent in cariporide-treated cells, but not in cells treated with S-3226. The long-term exposure to IFN-gamma was accompanied by a 20% increase in surface NHE1 abundance and no changes in total NHE1 abundance. Inhibition of Raf1, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK/MEK) and p38 MAPK with, respectively, GW 5074, PD 98059 and SB 203580 and downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (100 nM for 24 h) prevented inhibition of NHE activity by IFN-gamma (0.5 and 24 h exposure). The signal transducer and activator transcription factor 1 (STAT1) inhibitor epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) prevented inhibition of NHE activity by long- but not the short-term treatment with IFN-gamma. Treatment with IFN-gamma activated phospho-p38 MAPK, this effect being detected as early as 1 h, persisting over 3 h and decreasing after 24 h. IFN-gamma produced a sustained action of phospho-STAT1 that was prevented by EGCG and partially attenuated by SB 203580 and insensitive to downregulation of PKC. In conclusion, short- and long-term inhibition of NHE1 activity by IFN-gamma involves a complex signaling pathway that includes PKC activation and STAT1 phosphorylation, respectively, but is not accompanied by downregulation of NHE1.

Abstract
Transport of organic cations (OC) is important for the recycling of endogenous OC and also a necessary step for detoxification of exogenous OC in the body. Even though the identification and characterisation of numerous OC transporters in recent years has allowed the elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying OC transport, elucidation of the regulation of this transport is just beginning. This review summarises the general properties of OC transport and then analyses the literature on the regulation of these processes. Studies on short- and long-term regulation of OC transport are considered separately. Important aspects of short-term regulation have been clarified and the regulatory pathways of several OC transporters have been characterised. Short-term regulation appears to be transporter subtype-, tissue- and species-dependent and to involve transporter phosphorylation. Transporter phosphorylation may alter the affinity for substrates or/and expression on the plasma membrane. Even though several studies have shown long-term regulation of OC transport, the pathophysiological meaning of these changes are not well understood. In this case, regulation seems to be subtype-, tissue- and gender-specific. Further research is necessary to clarify this important issue of regulation of OC transport.

Abstract
The D1-like (D1, D5) and D2-like (D2, D3, D4) classes of dopamine receptors each has shared signaling properties that contribute to the definition of the receptor class, although some differences among subtypes within a class have been identified. D1-like receptor signaling is mediated chiefly by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galphas and Galphaolf, which cause sequential activation of adenylate cyclase, cylic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and the protein phosphatase-1 inhibitor DARPP-32. The increased phosphorylation that results from the combined effects of activating cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and inhibiting protein phosphatase 1 regulates the activity of many receptors, enzymes, ion channels, and transcription factors. D1 or a novel D1-like receptor also signals via phospholipase C-dependent and cyclic AMP-independent mobilization of intracellular calcium. D2-like receptor signaling is mediated by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galphai and Galphao. These pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins regulate some effectors, such as adenylate cyclase, via their Galpha subunits, but regulate many more effectors such as ion channels, phospholipases, protein kinases, and receptor tyrosine kinases as a result of the receptor-induced liberation of Gbetagamma subunits. In addition to interactions between dopamine receptors and G proteins, other protein:protein interactions such as receptor oligomerization or receptor interactions with scaffolding and signal-switching proteins are critical for regulation of dopamine receptor signaling.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and the intracellular signaling pathways involved in human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was determined as the difference between total and ouabain-sensitive ATPase. p38 MAP kinase activity was analyzed by Western blotting using the p38 MAP kinase assay kit. Total and phosphorylated STAT1 protein levels were detected using the PhosphoPlus Stat1. IFN-gamma decreased Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The IFN-gamma-induced decrease in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was accompanied by no changes in the abundance of alpha(1) subunit Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) prevented the inhibitory effect of IFN-gamma on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. Inhibition of Raf-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK/MEK), p38 MAPK and STAT1 with, respectively, GW 5074, PD 98059, SB 203580 and epigallocatechin gallate prevented inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by IFN-gamma. Treatment with IFN-gamma markedly increased the expression of total and phospho-STAT1, this being accompanied by activation of p38 MAPK. Activation of phospho-STAT1 by IFN-gamma was almost abolished by epigallocatechin gallate and markedly reduced by SB 203580, but insensitive to downregulation of PKC. The increase in short circuit current (I(sc)) by 1.0 and 2.5 micrograms ml(-1) amphotericin B was markedly attenuated in IFN-gamma-treated cells. However, the inhibitory effect of PDBu on the amphotericin B-induced increase in I(sc) was of similar magnitude in vehicle- and IFN-gamma-treated cells. It is concluded that IFN-gamma markedly attenuates Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. The transduction mechanisms set into motion by IFN-gamma involve the activation of PKC downstream STAT1 phosphorylation and Raf-1, MEK, ERK2 and p38 MAPK pathways, in a complex sequence of events.

Abstract
(1) This study examined the effects of dopamine D(1)- and D(2)-like receptor activation upon basolateral K(+) (I(K)) currents and changes in membrane potential in opossum kidney (OK) cells. (2) The addition of amphotericin B (3 micro g ml(-1)) to the apical side resulted in a rapid increase in I(K), this effect being markedly inhibited by the addition of the K(+) channel blockers barium chloride (1 mM) or glibenclamide (10 micro M), but not apamin (1 micro M). The K(+) channel opener pinacidil increased the amphotericin B-induced I(K). The selective D(2)-like receptor agonist quinerolane increased, in a concentration dependent manner (EC(50)=136 nM), I(K) across the basolateral membrane, this effect being abolished by pre-treatment with pertussis toxin (PTX), S-sulpiride (selective D(2)-like receptor antagonist) and glibenclamide. The selective D(1)-like receptor agonist SKF 38393 did not change I(K). Both H-89 (PKA inhibitor) and chelerythrine (PKC inhibitor) failed to prevent the stimulatory effect of quinerolane upon I(K). (3) Quinerolane did not change basal levels of cyclic AMP and also failed to affect the forskolin-induced increase in cyclic AMP levels. (4) The stimulation of D(2)-like receptor was associated with a rapid hyperpolarizing effect, whereas D(1)-like receptor activation was accompanied by increases in cell membrane potential. The hyperpolarizing effect of quinerolane (EC(50)=129 nM) was prevented by pre-treatment with PTX, S-sulpiride and glibenclamide. (5) It is concluded that stimulation of dopamine D(2)-like, but not D(1)-like, receptors coupled to PTX-sensitive G proteins of the G(i/o) class produce membrane hyperpolarization through opening of K(ATP) channels.
