Relationship between PPARα activation and NO on proximal tubular Na+ transport in the rat

چکیده
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) regulates renal proximal tubular (PT) Na+ handling through modulation of Na+-K+ ATPase. Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor alpha (PPARalpha), a nuclear transcription factor, is expressed in PTs and has been reported to influence NO generation/activity in renal tissues. This study tested the hypothesis that PPARalpha interacts with NO and thereby affects renal tubular Na+ transport. Urinary excretion of nitrite (UNOXV) and Na+ (UNaV) and PT Na+ transport (Na+-K+ ATPase activity) were determined in rats treated with clofibrate (250 mg/kg i.p) or WY14643 (45 mg/kg; i.p.), a PPARalpha ligand, 2% NaCl (orally), clofibrate/NaCl, L-NAME, an inhibitor of NO production (100 mg/kg; orally), L-NAME/Clofibrate. RESULTS Clofibrate or WY14643 increased PPARalpha expression by 106 +/- 7% (p < 0.05) and 113 +/- 8% (p < 0.05), respectively. Similarly, clofibrate and WY14643 increased expression of MCAD, a downstream target protein of PPARalpha by 123 +/- 8% (p < 0.05) and 143 +/- 8% (p < 0.05), respectively. L-NAME attenuated clofibrate-induced increase in PPARalpha expression by 27 +/- 2% (p < 0.05) but did not affect MCAD expression. UNOXV excretion increased 3-4 fold in rats treated with clofibrate, WY14643 or NaCl from 44 +/- 7 to 170 +/- 15, 144 +/- 18 or 132 +/- 11 nmol/24 hr, respectively (p < 0.05). Similarly, clofibrate, WY14643 or NaCl elicited a 2-5 fold increase in UNaV. L-NAME significantly reduced basal UNOXV and UNaV and abolished the clofibrate-induced increase. Clofibrate, WY14643, NaCl or clofibrate + NaCl treatment reduced Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the PT by 89 +/- 23, 62 +/- 10, 43 +/- 9 and 82 +/- 15% (p < 0.05), respectively. On the contrary, L-NAME or ODQ, inhibitor of sGC, abolished the inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity by clofibrate (p < 0.05). Clofibrate either alone or with NaCl elicited approximately 2-fold increase in the expression of the alpha1 subunit of Na+-K+ ATPase in the PT while L-NAME abolished clofibrate-induced increase in Na+-K+ ATPase expression. CONCLUSION These data suggest that PPARalpha activation, through increased NO generation promotes renal excretion of Na+ through reduced Na+-K+ ATPase activity in the PT probably via post translational modification of Na+-K+-ATPase.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha protects renal tubular cells from gentamicin-induced apoptosis via upregulating Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is a transcription factor which has been reported to inhibit gentamicin-induced apoptosis in renal tubular cells. However, the antiapoptotic mechanism of PPARα is still unknown. In this study, we found that PPARα overexpression induced Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 expression in the rat renal tubular cells NRK-52E. Beraprost, a PPARα ligand, also...
متن کاملEffects of Nitric Oxide on Renal Proximal Tubular Na+ Transport
Nitric oxide (NO) has a wide variety of physiological functions in the kidney. Besides the regulatory effects in intrarenal haemodynamics and glomerular microcirculation, in vivo studies reported the diuretic and natriuretic effects of NO. However, opposite results showing the stimulatory effect of NO on Na+ reabsorption in the proximal tubule led to an intense debate on its physiological roles...
متن کاملProlactin and dopamine 1-like receptor interaction in renal proximal tubular cells.
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 ...
متن کاملDefective nitric oxide production impairs angiotensin II-induced Na-K-ATPase regulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Angiotensin (ANG) II via ANG II type 1 receptors (AT1R) activates renal sodium transporters including Na-K-ATPase and regulates sodium homeostasis and blood pressure. It is reported that at a high concentration, ANG II either inhibits or fails to stimulate Na-K-ATPase. However, the mechanisms for these phenomena are not clear. Here, we identified the signaling molecules involved in regulation o...
متن کاملAnalysis of standing droplets in rat proximal tubules
Volume, osmolality, and concentrations for Na, Cl, and raffinose have been measured as a function of time in standing droplets within rat intermediate and late proximal tubules. Standing droplet reabsorption proceeds without the development of a measurable osmotic difference across the epithelium. After 140 s of tubular exposure, droplet-to-plasma concentration differences are observed for raff...
