Regulation of erythrocyte Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^- cotransport by an oxygen-switched kinase cascade.

ABSTRACT: Many erythrocyte processes and pathways, including glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), KCl cotransport, ATP release, Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity, ankyrin-band 3 interactions, and nitric oxide (NO) release, are regulated by changes in O₂ pressure that occur as a red blood cell (RBC) transits between the lungs and tissues. The O₂ dependence of glycolysis, PPP, and ankyrin-band 3 interactions (affecting RBC rheology) are controlled by O₂-dependent competition between deoxyhemoglobin (deoxyHb), but not oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb), and other proteins for band 3. We undertook the present study to determine whether the O₂ dependence of Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^- cotransport (catalyzed by Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^- cotransporter 1 [NKCC1]) might similarly originate from competition between deoxyHb and a protein involved in NKCC1 regulation for a common binding site on band 3. Using three transgenic mouse strains having mutated deoxyhemoglobin-binding sites on band 3, we found that docking of deoxyhemoglobin at the N terminus of band 3 displaces the protein with no lysine kinase 1 (WNK1) from its overlapping binding site on band 3. This displacement enabled WNK1 to phosphorylate oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1 (OSR1), which, in turn, phosphorylated and activated NKCC1. Under normal solution conditions, the NKCC1 activation increased RBC volume and thereby induced changes in RBC rheology. Because the deoxyhemoglobin-mediated WNK1 displacement from band 3 in this O₂ regulation pathway may also occur in the regulation of other O₂-regulated ion transporters, we hypothesize that the NKCC1-mediated regulatory mechanism may represent a general pattern of O₂ modulation of ion transporters in erythrocytes.

Kinetic properties of Cl uptake mediated by Na+-dependent K+-2Cl cotransport in immature rat neocortical neurons.

Project description:GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult nervous system, evokes depolarizing membrane responses in immature neurons, which are crucial for the generation of early network activity. Although it is well accepted that depolarizing GABA actions are caused by an elevated intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]i), the mechanisms of Cl- accumulation in immature neurons are still a matter of debate. Using patch-clamp, microfluorimetric, immunohistochemical, and molecular biological approaches, we studied the mechanism of Cl- uptake in Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells of immature [postnatal day 0 (P0) to P3] rat neocortex. Gramicidin-perforated patch-clamp and 6-methoxy-N-ethylquinolinium-microfluorimetric measurements revealed a steady-state [Cl-]i of approximately 30 mM that was reduced to values close to passive distribution by bumetanide or Na+-free solutions, suggesting a participation of Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransport isoform 1 (NKCC1) in maintaining elevated [Cl-]i. Expression of NKCC1 was found in CR cells on the mRNA and protein levels. To determine the contribution of NKCC1 to [Cl-]i homeostasis in detail, Cl- uptake rates were analyzed after artificial [Cl-]i depletion. Active Cl- uptake was relatively slow (47.2 +/- 5.0 microM/s) and was abolished by bumetanide or Na+-free solution. Accordingly, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed a low Cl- conductance in CR cells. The low capacity of NKCC1-mediated Cl- uptake was sufficient to maintain excitatory GABAergic membrane responses, however, only at low stimulation frequencies. In summary, our results demonstrate that NKCC1 is abundant in CR cells of immature rat neocortex and that the slow Cl- uptake mediated by this transporter is sufficient to maintain high [Cl-]i required to render GABA responses excitatory.

TNF? induced up-regulation of Na+,K+,2Cl- cotransporter NKCC1 in hepatic ammonia clearance and cerebral ammonia toxicity.

Project description:The devastating consequences of hepatic failure include hepatic encephalopathy, a severe, life threatening impairment of neuronal function. Hepatic encephalopathy is caused by impaired hepatic clearance of NH4+. Cellular NH4+ uptake is accomplished mainly by the Na+,K+,2Cl- cotransporter. Here we show that hepatic clearance of NH4+ is impaired in TNF? deficient as well as TNFR1&TNFR2 double knockout mice, which both develop hyperammonemia. Despite impaired hepatic clearance of NH4+, TNF? deficient mice and TNFR1 deficient mice were protected against acute ammonia intoxication. While 54% of the wild-type mice and 60% of TNFR2 deficient mice survived an NH4+ load, virtually all TNF? deficient mice and TNFR1 deficient mice survived the treatment. Conversely, TNF? treatment of wild type mice sensitized the animals to the toxic effects of an NH4+ load. The protection of TNF?-deficient mice against an NH4+ load was paralleled by decreased cerebral expression of NKCC1. According to the present observations, inhibition of TNF? formation and/or NKCC1 may be strategies to favorably influence the clinical course of hepatic encephalopathy.

Myogenic tone in mouse mesenteric arteries: evidence for P2Y receptor-mediated, Na(+), K (+), 2Cl (-) cotransport-dependent signaling.

Project description:This study examines the action of agonists and antagonists of P2 receptors on mouse mesenteric artery contractions and the possible involvement of these signaling pathways in myogenic tone (MT) evoked by elevated intraluminal pressure. Both ATP and its non-hydrolyzed analog alpha,beta-ATP triggered transient contractions that were sharply decreased in the presence of NF023, a potent antagonist of P2X(1) receptors. In contrast, UTP and UDP elicited sustained contractions which were suppressed by MRS2567, a selective antagonist of P2Y(6) receptors. Inhibition of Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) cotransport (NKCC) with bumetanide led to attenuation of contractions in UTP- but not ATP-treated arteries. Both UTP-induced contractions and MT were suppressed by MRS2567 and bumetanide but were insensitive to NF023. These data implicate a P2Y(6)-mediated, NKCC-dependent mechanism in MT of mesenteric arteries. The action of heightened intraluminal pressure on UTP release from mesenteric arteries and its role in the triggering of P2Y(6)-mediated signaling should be examined further.

Modulation of brain cation-Cl- cotransport via the SPAK kinase inhibitor ZT-1a.

Project description:The SLC12A cation-Cl- cotransporters (CCC), including NKCC1 and the KCCs, are important determinants of brain ionic homeostasis. SPAK kinase (STK39) is the CCC master regulator, which stimulates NKCC1 ionic influx and inhibits KCC-mediated efflux via phosphorylation at conserved, shared motifs. Upregulation of SPAK-dependent CCC phosphorylation has been implicated in several neurological diseases. Using a scaffold-hybrid strategy, we develop a novel potent and selective SPAK inhibitor, 5-chloro-N-(5-chloro-4-((4-chlorophenyl)(cyano)methyl)-2-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide ("ZT-1a"). ZT-1a inhibits NKCC1 and stimulates KCCs by decreasing their SPAK-dependent phosphorylation. Intracerebroventricular delivery of ZT-1a decreases inflammation-induced CCC phosphorylation in the choroid plexus and reduces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypersecretion in a model of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Systemically administered ZT-1a reduces ischemia-induced CCC phosphorylation, attenuates cerebral edema, protects against brain damage, and improves outcomes in a model of stroke. These results suggest ZT-1a or related compounds may be effective CCC modulators with therapeutic potential for brain disorders associated with impaired ionic homeostasis.

Vasoconstriction triggered by hydrogen sulfide: Evidence for Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport and L-type Ca2+ channel-mediated pathway.

Project description:This study examined the dose-dependent actions of hydrogen sulfide donor sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) on isometric contractions and ion transport in rat aorta smooth muscle cells (SMC).Isometric contraction was measured in ring aortas segments from male Wistar rats. Activity of Na+/K+-pump and Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport was measured in cultured endothelial and smooth muscle cells from the rat aorta as ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-resistant, bumetanide-sensitive components of the 86Rb influx, respectively.NaHS exhibited the bimodal action on contractions triggered by modest depolarization ([K+]o=30 mM). At 10-4 M, NaHS augmented contractions of intact and endothelium-denuded strips by ~ 15% and 25%, respectively, whereas at concentration of 10-3 M it decreased contractile responses by more than two-fold. Contractions evoked by 10-4 M NaHS were completely abolished by bumetanide, a potent inhibitor of Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport, whereas the inhibition seen at 10-3 M NaHS was suppressed in the presence of K+ channel blocker TEA. In cultured SMC, 5×10-5 M NaHS increased Na+,K+,2Cl- - cotransport without any effect on the activity of this carrier in endothelial cells. In depolarized SMC, 45Ca influx was enhanced in the presence of 10-4 M NaHS and suppressed under elevation of [NaHS] up to 10-3 M. 45Ca influx triggered by 10-4 M NaHS was abolished by bumetanide and L-type Ca2+ channel blocker nicardipine.Our results strongly suggest that contractions of rat aortic rings triggered by low doses of NaHS are mediated by activation of Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport and Ca2+ influx via L-type channels.

Role of protein kinase C in metabolic regulation of the cardiac Na+ channel.

Project description:BackgroundThe reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) increases in cardiomyopathy, activates protein kinase C (PKC), up-regulates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS), and down-regulates the cardiac Na+ channel (NaV1.5).ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine how NADH signals down-regulation of NaV1.5.MethodsIsolated mouse cardiomyocytes were used for patch-clamp recording and for monitoring mitoROS with MitoSOX Red. HEK293 cells were used for transient transfections. HEK293 cells stably expressing human NaV1.5 were used for single channel recording, whole-cell patch-clamp recording, activity measurements of phospholipase C and phospholipase D (PLD), channel protein purification, and co-immunoprecipitation with PKC isoforms. HL-1 cells were used for mitochondria isolation.ResultsNADH enhanced PLD activity (1.6- ± 0.1-fold, P <.01) and activated PKCδ. Activated PKCδ translocated to mitochondria and up-regulated mitoROS (2.8- ± 0.3-fold, P <.01) by enhancing the activities of mitochondrial complexes I, II, and IV (1.1- to 1.5-fold, P <.01). PKCδ also interacted with NaV1.5 to down-regulate Na+ current (INa). Reduction in INa by activated PKCδ was prevented by antioxidants and by mutating the known PKC phosphorylation site S1503. At the single channel level, the mechanism of current reduction by PKC and recovery by protein kinase A was a change in single channel conductance.ConclusionNADH activated PKCδ by enhancing PLD activity. PKCδ modulated both mitoROS and NaV1.5. PKCδ elevated mitoROS by enhancing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complex activities. PKCδ-mediated channel phosphorylation and mitoROS were both required to down-regulate NaV1.5 and alter single channel conductance.

Na-K-2Cl Cotransporter and Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in Pacemaking by Interstitial Cells of Cajal.

Project description:Pacemaker depolarization in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) is believed to be induced by Ca2+ transients and activation of anoctamin-1 (Ano1) channels in the plasma membrane. However, block of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) or the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC1) terminates pacemaker activity in ICC, indicating these transporters are involved in the initiation or maintenance of pacemaker activity. We hypothesized that SOCE contributes to pacemaker depolarization by maintaining [Ca2+] in the endoplasmic reticulum, which is the underlying source of Ca2+ transients for activation of Ano1. NKCC1 maintains the Cl- gradient supporting the driving force for inward current mediated by Ano1. Currently mechanisms sustaining release of Ca2+ and activation of Ano1 channels during the plateau phase of slow waves are unknown, but the reverse mode of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange may contribute. We generated a mathematical model of pacemaker activity based on current empirical observations from ICC of mouse small intestine that incorporates functions of SOCE and NKCC1. This model reproduces experimental findings, suggesting roles for SOCE and Ano1 channels: blocking of either NKCC1 or SOCE in our model terminates pacemaker activity. Direct contribution of NKCC1 to pacemaker activity in a beat-to-beat manner is not predicted by our model. Instead, NKCC1 plays a maintenance role supporting the driving force for Cl- efflux. Incorporation of SOCE allows the model to drive pacemaker activity without a diastolic depolarization, as observed in cardiac pacemaking. Further biological experiments are necessary to validate and further refine the roles of NKCC1, Na+/Ca2+ exchange, and Ano1 in the pacemaker mechanism of ICC.

Regulation of the renal-specific Na+-K+-2Cl- co-transporter NKCC2 by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

Project description:The renal-specific NKCC2 (Na+-K+-2Cl- co-transporter 2) is regulated by changes in phosphorylation state, however, the phosphorylation sites and kinases responsible have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrate that the metabolic sensing kinase AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) phosphorylates NKCC2 on Ser126 in vitro. Co-precipitation experiments indicated that there is a physical association between AMPK and the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of NKCC2. Activation of AMPK in the MMDD1 (mouse macula densa-derived 1) cell line resulted in an increase in Ser126 phosphorylation in situ, suggesting that AMPK may phosphorylate NKCC2 in vivo. The functional significance of Ser126 phosphorylation was examined by mutating the serine residue to an alanine residue resulting in a marked reduction in co-transporter activity when exogenously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes under isotonic conditions. Under hypertonic conditions no significant change of activity was observed. Therefore the present study identifies a novel phosphorylation site that maintains NKCC2-mediated transport under isotonic or basal conditions. Moreover, the metabolic-sensing kinase, AMPK, is able to phosphorylate this site, potentially linking the cellular energy state with changes in co-transporter activity.

Ezrin regulates NHE3 translocation and activation after Na+-glucose cotransport.

Project description:Initiation of Na(+)-glucose cotransport in intestinal epithelial cells leads to activation of the apical Na(+)-H(+) exchanger NHE3 and subsequent increases in cytoplasmic pH (pH(i)). This process requires activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, but additional signaling intermediates have not been identified. One candidate is the cytoskeletal linker protein ezrin, which interacts with NHE3 via specific regulatory proteins. The data show that initiation of Na(+)-glucose cotransport resulted in rapid increases in both apical membrane-associated NHE3 and cytoskeletal-associated ezrin and occurred in parallel with ezrin phosphorylation at threonine 567. Phosphorylation at this site is known to activate ezrin and increase its association with actin. Consistent with a central role for ezrin activation in this NHE3 regulation, an N-terminal dominant negative ezrin construct inhibited both NHE3 recruitment and pH(i) increases after Na(+)-glucose cotransport. Ezrin phosphorylation occurred in parallel with p38 MAP kinase activation, and the latter proceeded normally in cells expressing dominant negative ezrin. In contrast, inhibition of p38 MAP kinase prevented increases in ezrin phosphorylation after initiation of Na(+)-glucose cotransport. Thus, ezrin phosphorylation after Na(+)-glucose cotransport requires p38 MAP kinase activity, but p38 MAP kinase activation does not require ezrin function. These data describe a specific role for ezrin in the coordinate regulation of Na(+)-glucose cotransport and Na(+)-H(+) exchange. Intact ezrin function is necessary for NHE3 recruitment to the apical membrane and NHE3-dependent pH(i) increases triggered by Na(+)-glucose cotransport. The data also define a pathway of p38 MAP kinase-dependent ezrin activation.

Mechanisms and consequences of casein kinase II and ankyrin-3 regulation of the epithelial Na+ channel.

Project description:Activity of the Epithelial Na+ Channel (ENaC) in the distal nephron fine-tunes renal sodium excretion. Appropriate sodium excretion is a key factor in the regulation of blood pressure. Consequently, abnormalities in ENaC function can cause hypertension. Casein Kinase II (CKII) phosphorylates ENaC. The CKII phosphorylation site in ENaC resides within a canonical "anchor" ankyrin binding motif. CKII-dependent phosphorylation of ENaC is necessary and sufficient to increase channel activity and is thought to influence channel trafficking in a manner that increases activity. We test here the hypothesis that phosphorylation of ENaC by CKII within an anchor motif is necessary for ankyrin-3 (Ank-3) regulation of the channel, which is required for normal channel locale and function, and the proper regulation of renal sodium excretion. This was addressed using a fluorescence imaging strategy combining total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to quantify ENaC expression in the plasma membrane in living cells; and electrophysiology to quantify ENaC activity in split-open collecting ducts from principal cell-specific Ank-3 knockout mice. Sodium excretion studies also were performed in parallel in this knockout mouse. In addition, we substituted a key serine residue in the consensus CKII site in β-ENaC with alanine to abrogate phosphorylation and disrupt the anchor motif. Findings show that disrupting CKII signaling decreases ENaC activity by decreasing expression in the plasma membrane. In the principal cell-specific Ank-3 KO mouse, ENaC activity and sodium excretion were significantly decreased and increased, respectively. These results are consistent with CKII phosphorylation of ENaC functioning as a "switch" that favors Ank-3 binding to increase channel activity.
