Apart from Na,K-ATPase, a second sodium pump, Na-stimulated, ^-independ­ent ATPase (Na -ATPase) is expressed in proximal convoluted tubule of the mamma­lian kidney. The aim of this study was to develop a method of Na -ATPase assay based on the method previously used by us to measure Na ,K -ATPase activity (Acta Biochim Polon.; 2002, 49: 515-27). The ATPase activity was assayed as the amount of inorganic phosphate liberated from ATP by isolated microsomal fraction. Na -ATPase activity was calculated as the difference between the activities mea­sured in the presence and in the absence of 50 mM NaCl. Na -ATPase activity was detected in the renal cortex (3.5 ± 0.2 ^mol phosphate/h per mg protein), but not in the renal medulla. Na -ATPase was not inhibited by ouabain or an H ,K -ATPase in­hibitor, Sch 28080, but was almost completely blocked by 2 mM furosemide. Leptin administered intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg) decreased the Na ,K -ATPase activity in the renal medulla at 0.5 and 1 h by 22.1% and 27.1%, respectively, but had no effect on Na -ATPase in the renal cortex. Chronic hyperleptinemia induced by repeated subcutaneous leptin injections (0.25 mg/kg twice daily for 7 days) increased cortical Na,K-ATPase, medullary Na,K-ATPase and cortical Na+-ATPase by 32.4%, 84.2% and 62.9%, respectively. In rats with dietary-induced obesity, the Na ,K - ATPase activity was higher in the renal cortex and medulla by 19.7% and 34.3%, re­spectively, but Na -ATPase was not different from control. These data indicate that both renal Na -dependent ATPases are separately regulated and that up-regulation of Na -ATPase may contribute to Na retention and arterial hypertension induced by chronic hyperleptinemia.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether endogenous superoxide anion is involved in the regulation of renal Na+ ,K+ -ATPase and ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase activities. The study was performed in male Wistar rats. Compounds modulating superoxide anion concentration were infused under general anaesthesia into the abdominal aorta proximally to the renal arteries. The activity of ATPases was assayed in isolated microsomal fraction. We found that infusion of a superoxide anion-generating mixture, xanthine oxidase (1 mU/min per kg) + hypoxanthine (0.2 umol/min per kg), increased the medullary Na+ ,K+ -ATPase activity by 49.5% but had no effect on cortical Na+ ,K+ -ATPase and either cortical or medullary ouabain-sensi­tive H+ ,K+ -ATPase. This effect was reproduced by elevating endogenous superoxide anion with a superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethylthiocarbamate. In contrast, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, TEMPOL, decreased the medullary Na+ ,K+ -ATPase activity. The inhibitory effect of TEMPOL was abolished by inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (l-NAME), soluble guanylate cyclase (ODQ) and protein kinase G (KT5823). The stimulatory effect of diethylthiocarbamate was not observed in ani­mals pretreated with a synthetic cGMP analogue, 8-bromo-cGMP. An inhibitor of NAD(P)H oxidase, apocynin (1 ^mol/min per kg), decreased the Na+ ,K+ -ATPase ac­tivity in the renal medulla and its effect was prevented by L-NAME, ODQ or KT5823. In contrast, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, oxypurinol, administered at the same dose was without effect. These data suggest that NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anion increases Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the renal medulla by reducing the availability of NO. Excessive intrarenal generation of superoxide anion may upregulate medullary Na+,K+-ATPase leading to sodium retention and blood pressure elevation.
Leptin, secreted by adipose tissue, is involved in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension, however, the mechanisms through which leptin increases blood pressure are incompletely elucidated. We investigated the effect of leptin, administered for different time periods, on renal Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the rat. Leptin was infused under anesthesia into the abdominal aorta proximally to the renal arteries for 0.5-3 h. Leptin administered at doses of 1 and 10 μg/min per kg for 30 min decreased the Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the renal medulla. This effect disappeared when the hormone was infused for ≥1 h. Leptin infused for 3 h increased the Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the renal cortex and medulla. The stimulatory effect was abolished by a specific inhibitor of Janus kinases (JAKs), tyrphostin AG490, as well as by an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor, apocynin. Leptin increased urinary excretion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) between 2 and 3 h of infusion. The effect of leptin on renal Na+,K+-ATPase and urinary H2O2 was augmented by a superoxide dismutase mimetic, tempol, and was abolished by catalase. In addition, infusion of H2O2 for 30 min increased the Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Inhibitors of extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERKs), PD98059 or U0126, prevented Na+,K+-ATPase stimulation by leptin and H2O2. These data indicate that leptin, by acting directly within the kidney, has a delayed stimulatory effect on Na+,K+-ATPase, mediated by JAKs, H2O2 and ERKs. This mechanism may contribute to the abnormal renal Na+ handling in diseases associated with chronic hyperleptinemia such as diabetes and obesity.
We examined the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of Na+,K+- ATPase activity in the renal cortex. Male Wistar rats were anaesthetized and the in­vestigated reagents were infused into the abdominal aorta proximally to the renal ar­teries. A PKC-activating phorbol ester, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), had a dose-dependent effect on cortical Na+ ,K+ -ATPase activity. Low dose of PDBu (10- mol/kg per min) increased cortical Na+ ,K+ -ATPase activity by 34.2%, whereas high doses (10-9 and 10-8 mol/kg per min) reduced this activity by 22.7% and 35.0%, respectively. PDBu administration caused changes in Na+ ,K+ -ATPase Vmax without af­fecting K0.5 for Na+ , K+ and ATP as well as K for ouabain. The effects of PDBu were abolished by PKC inhibitors, staurosporine, GF109203X, and Go 6976. The inhibi­tory effect of PDBu was reversed by pretreatment with inhibitors of cytochrome P450-dependent arachidonate metabolism, ethoxyresorufin and 17-octadecynoic acid, inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), wortmannin and LY294002, and by actin depolymerizing agents, cytochalasin D and latrunculin B. These results suggest that PKC may either stimulate or inhibit renal cortical Na+ ,K+ -ATPase. The inhibitory effect is mediated by cytochrome P450-dependent arachidonate metabo­lites and PI3K, and is caused by redistribution of the sodium pump from the plasma membrane to the inactive intracellular pool.
