چکیده
The bumetanide-sensitive component of pHi recovery from an NH4Cl-induced acute alkaline load was used as a measure of Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport activity in rat parotid acini. Acinar treatment with NaF/AlCl3 (15 mM NaF plus 10 microM AlCl3) induced a 5-fold stimulation in the initial rate of bumetanide-sensitive pHi recovery. This effect was dependent on NaF concentration (K1/2 approximately 7 mM) and was blunted in the presence of the Al3+ chelator desferal mesylate suggesting that it might be due to the aluminofluoride ion, AlF-4. NaF/AlCl3 treatment did not increase acinar intracellular cAMP levels but did result in an increase in intracellular calcium concentration (from 87 +/- 5 to 181 +/- 2 nM) and in acinar cell shrinkage (12 +/- 1%). But the stimulation of the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter by NaF/AlCl3 persisted in acini which had been depleted of their intracellular Ca2+ stores. In these acini no effect of NaF/AlCl3 on intracellular calcium or cell volume was observed, indicating that stimulation of the cotransporter was not secondary to either of these phenomena. The effect of NaF/AlCl3 on the cotransporter was blocked by the protein kinase inhibitor K252a indicating the involvement of a protein phosphorylation event. This result is consistent with either NaF/AlCl3-dependent protein kinase activation or phosphatase inhibition. The stimulation of the cotransporter by NaF/AlCl3 was mimicked by the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A; however, this effect was not blocked by K252a suggesting that a different protein kinase from that associated with NaF/AlCl3 may be involved. The data indicate that the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter in this tissue is under tight regulatory control, in all likelihood via multiple protein kinase/phosphatase systems. The physiological roles of these regulatory events in modulating acinar fluid secretion driven by the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter remain to be elucidated.

Phosphorylation of the salivary Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter.
We studied the phosphorylation of the secretory Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) in rat parotid acinar cells. We have previously shown that NKCC1 activity in these cells is dramatically upregulated in response to beta-adrenergic stimulation and that this upregulation correlates with NKCC1 phosphorylation, possibly due to protein kinase A (PKA). We show here that when ATP is added to puri...

The Na/K/2Cl cotransport system in the avian erythrocyte can be activated by agents that raise intracellular cAMP suggesting the involvement of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) in its regulation. Another group of stimuli including fluoride and hypertonicity stimulate cotransport via cAMP-independent means. To further investigate the role of phosphorylation in these processes, we examined...

Sodium and chloride transport by the macula densa and thick ascending limb of Henle's loop participates importantly in extracellular fluid volume homeostasis, urinary concentration and dilution, control of glomerular filtration, and control of renal hemodynamics. Transepithelial Na and Cl transport across the apical membrane of thick ascending limb (TALH) cells is mediated predominantly by a lo...

Vasoconstrictors activate the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter NKCC1 in rat aortic smooth muscle, but the mechanism is unknown. Efflux of (86)Rb(+) from rat aorta in response to phenylephrine (PE) was measured in the absence and presence of bumetanide, a specific inhibitor of NKCC1. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) completely abolished the activation of NKCC1 by PE. This was not due to inhibition...
