Involvement of NADPH-dependent and cAMP-PKA sensitive H+ channels in the chorda tympani nerve responses to strong acids.

ABSTRACT: To investigate if chorda tympani (CT) taste nerve responses to strong (HCl) and weak (CO(2) and acetic acid) acidic stimuli are dependent upon NADPH oxidase-linked and cAMP-sensitive proton conductances in taste cell membranes, CT responses were monitored in rats, wild-type (WT) mice, and gp91(phox) knockout (KO) mice in the absence and presence of blockers (Zn(2+) and diethyl pyrocarbonate [DEPC]) or activators (8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP; 8-CPT-cAMP) of proton channels and activators of the NADPH oxidase enzyme (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate [PMA], H(2)O(2), and nitrazepam). Zn(2+) and DEPC inhibited and 8-CPT-cAMP, PMA, H(2)O(2), and nitrazepam enhanced the tonic CT responses to HCl without altering responses to CO(2) and acetic acid. In KO mice, the tonic HCl CT response was reduced by 64% relative to WT mice. The residual CT response was insensitive to H(2)O(2) but was blocked by Zn(2+). Its magnitude was further enhanced by 8-CPT-cAMP treatment, and the enhancement was blocked by 8-CPT-adenosine-3'-5'-cyclic monophospho-rothioate, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. Under voltage-clamp conditions, before cAMP treatment, rat tonic HCl CT responses demonstrated voltage-dependence only at ±90 mV, suggesting the presence of H(+) channels with voltage-dependent conductances. After cAMP treatment, the tonic HCl CT response had a quasi-linear dependence on voltage, suggesting that the cAMP-dependent part of the HCl CT response has a quasi-linear voltage dependence between +60 and -60 mV, only becoming sigmoidal when approaching +90 and -90 mV. The results suggest that CT responses to HCl involve 2 proton entry pathways, an NADPH oxidase-dependent proton channel, and a cAMP-PKA sensitive proton channel.

Project description:Transient receptor potential channels TRPC3 and TRPC6 are expressed in principal cells of the collecting duct (CD) along with the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) both in vivo and in the cultured mouse CD cell line IMCD-3. The channels are primarily localized to intracellular vesicles, but upon stimulation with the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP), TRPC3 and AQP2 translocate to the apical membrane. In the present study, the effect of various activators and inhibitors of the adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cAMP/PKA signaling cascade on channel trafficking was examined using immunohistochemical techniques and by biotinylation of surface membrane proteins. Both in vivo in rat kidney and in IMCD-3 cells, translocation of AQP2 and TRPC3 (but not TRPC6) was stimulated by [deamino-Cys(1), d-Arg(8)]-vasopressin (dDAVP), a specific V2-receptor agonist, and blocked by [adamantaneacetyl(1), O-Et-d-Tyr(2), Val(4), aminobutyryl(6), Arg(8,9)]-vasopressin (AEAVP), a specific V2-receptor antagonist. In IMCD-3 cells, translocation of TRPC3 and AQP2 was activated by forskolin, a direct activator of AC, or by dibutyryl-cAMP, a membrane-permeable cAMP analog. AVP-, dDAVP-, and forskolin-induced translocation in IMCD-3 cells was blocked by SQ22536 and H89, specific inhibitors of AC and PKA, respectively. Translocation stimulated by dibutyryl-cAMP was unaffected by AEAVP but could be blocked by H89. AVP- and forskolin-induced translocation of TRPC3 in IMCD-3 cells was also blocked by two additional inhibitors of PKA, specifically Rp-cAMPS and the myristoylated inhibitor of PKA (m-PKI). Quantification of TRPC3 membrane insertion in IMCD-3 cells under each assay condition using a surface membrane biotinylation assay, confirmed the translocation results observed by immunofluorescence. Importantly, AVP-induced translocation of TRPC3 as estimated by biotinylation was blocked on average 95.2 +/- 1.0% by H89, Rp-cAMPS, or m-PKI. Taken together, these results demonstrate that AVP stimulation of V2 receptors in principal cells of the CD causes translocation of TRPC3 to the apical membrane via stimulation of the AC/cAMP/PKA signaling cascade.
