  • Title: Angiotensin II-dependent proximal tubule sodium transport is mediated by cAMP modulation of phospholipase C.
    Author: Schelling JR, Singh H, Marzec R, Linas SL.

    Abstract:
    Angiotensin II (ANG II) stimulates proximal tubule sodium transport by decreasing adenylyl cyclase activity. The role of ANG II-dependent phospholipase C is less certain. To determine the contribution of phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase to apical (AP) ANG II-dependent sodium transport, unidirectional (AP to basolateral) 22Na flux was measured in rat proximal tubule cells cultured on permeable supports. AP ANG II (100 nM)-dependent sodium flux was prevented by preincubation with concentrations of the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 (1 microM) that blocked ANG II-dependent inositol phosphate formation. AP ANG II-dependent sodium flux was also abolished by preincubation with the intracellular calcium mobilization inhibitor 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-(diethylamino)octyl ester (TMB-8), further suggesting that ANG II-dependent sodium transport was mediated by inositol phosphates. Neither U-73122 nor TMB-8 prevented ANG II-dependent adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) decreases. Incubation with dibutyryl cAMP (10 microM) or forskolin (10 microM) prevented ANG II-dependent sodium flux as well as ANG II-dependent inositol phosphate formation. In conclusion, ANG II-dependent proximal tubule sodium transport in cultured cells was transduced by phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase. The adenylyl cyclase effect on ANG II-dependent sodium transport was mediated by phospholipase C.
