Regulation of System B0 amino-acid-transport activity in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-1 and concomitant changes in SAAT1 hybridizing transcripts.

ABSTRACT: alpha-(Methylamino)isobutyric acid (MeAIB) insensitive Na(+)-dependent alanine transport activity in the bovine kidney cell line NBL-1 was increased upon amino acid starvation (> or = 20% over control levels). When L-phenylalanine (3 mM) was included in the starvation medium the increase was further enhanced (> or = 85% over control levels). In cells grown in control medium the Vmax, for MeAIB-insensitive Na+/alanine co-transport was found to be 6.0 +/- 0.7 nmol/3 min per mg (Km 41 +/- 12 microM) and for L-phenylalanine-treated amino-acid-starved cells the Vmax. was 21 +/- 5 nmol/3 min per mg (Km 92 +/- 40 microM). The increase in Vmax. was prevented by cycloheximide. Substrate specificity analysis identified the L-phenylalanine-induced transport system as System B0. [35S]Methionine labelling of cells during the amino acid starvation/phenylalanine treatments resulted in the differential labelling of a protein of 78 kDa. Northern-blot analysis using a SAAT1-specific probe revealed the presence of a new transcript (3.2 kb) in RNA extracted from cells incubated in amino acid starvation medium with L-phenylalanine included. The present findings suggest a novel means of control for System B0 by the use of physiological stress. It is also proposed that SAAT1 and System-B0 transcripts have considerable sequence similarity.

Induction of the high-affinity Na(+)-dependent glutamate transport system XAG- by hypertonic stress in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-1.

Project description:The high-affinity Na(+)-dependent glutamate transport system XAG- is induced (threefold increase in Vmax. with no change in Km) by hypertonicity in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-1. This effect is dependent on protein synthesis and glycosylation and is accompanied by an increase in EAAC1 mRNA levels. Other Na(+)-dependent transport systems in this cell line do not respond to hypertonic stress. In contrast to recent findings [Ruiz-Montasell, Gomez-Angelats, Casado, Felipe, McGivan and Pastor-Anglada (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91, 9569-9573] showing that increased system A activity after hyperosmotic shock results from induction of a regulatory protein, this is the first demonstration that hypertonicity may increase the expression of the gene for an amino acid transport protein itself.

Regulation of glycosylation of Lamp-1 in the bovine renal epithelial cell line NBL-1 by changes in the concentration of extracellular phosphate.

Project description:We have identified the bovine renal homologue of Lamp-1 (lysosomal-associated membrane glycoprotein 1). It has very similar physical characteristics to other Lamp-1 proteins from a wide variety of tissues and species. Partial sequence analysis has shown it to be 61% identical with human Lamp-1 and about 50% identical with rat and mouse Lamp-1. The extent of glycosylation of bovine Lamp-1 alters in response to changes in the concentration of extracellular phosphate. Bovine renal epithelial cells (NBL-1) grown in normal or phosphate-starved medium contain Lamp-1 of 120 kDa. However, if cells are grown in medium containing 8-10 mM phosphate, they contain Lamp-1 of only 100 kDa. The core protein and mRNA levels have been shown to remain constant under both conditions. Therefore the only conclusion is that the extent of Lamp-1 glycosylation must be changing in response to the extracellular concentration of phosphate. Unlike Carlsson and Fukuda [(1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 20488-20495], who showed that the human Lamp-1 protein contained polylactosaminoglycan residues, we have been unable to demonstrate the partial deglycosylation of bovine Lamp-1 by endo-beta-galactosidase. This enzyme removes polylactosaminoglycan groups from glycoproteins, and therefore indicates that the carbohydrate structure of bovine Lamp-1 is probably different from that of other Lamp-1 proteins. At present the physiological importance of bovine renal Lamp-1 and the changes in its extent of glycosylation are unknown. In this paper we postulate that Lamp-1 may be involved in the cycling of plasma-membrane proteins to the lysosome. This is based on the finding that the only other known effect of high extracellular phosphate on NBL-1 cells is to cause a decrease in the Vmax. of plasma-membrane-associated Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport [Helps and McGivan (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 200, 797-803].

Hyperosmolarity leads to an increase in derepressed system A activity in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-1.

Project description:Hyperosmolarity induced an increase in Na(+)-dependent L-alanine uptake in confluent monolayers of the established renal epithelial cell line NBL-1. This induction was attributable to system A and was only seen when the cells had been previously deprived of amino acids in the culture medium to derepress system A activity. It was additive to the adaptive regulation induction, and both were inhibited by cycloheximide. However, the hyperosmolarity effect was inhibited by colcemid (an inhibitor of microtubular function), but adaptive regulation was not. Otherwise, when cell monolayers were incubated in a control medium, basal Na(+)-dependent L-alanine uptake mediated by system B0 decreased. The results of this study show that: (i) system A activity was not induced by cell shrinkage and subsequent swelling due to extracellular hyperosmolarity when cells were incubated in control medium; (ii) previous expression of system A activity induced by amino acid starvation seems to be a prerequisite for further induction due to hyperosmolarity; and (iii) the effects of adaptive regulation and hyperosmotic stress are mediated by different mechanisms.

Regulation of the glutamate transporter by amino acid deprivation and associated effects on the level of EAAC1 mRNA in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-I.

Project description:The glutamate transport system of the bovine renal epithelial cell line NBL-1 was studied. The Km for Na(+)-dependent glutamate transport was found to be 13.8 +/- 2.4 microM (Vmax. 365 +/- 19.2 pmol/3 min per mg) and for Na(+)-dependent aspartate transport 4.5 +/- 1.1 microM (Vmax. 108 +/- 6.3 pmol/3 min per mg). The Km values are in close agreement with those expected for high-affinity Na(+)-dependent glutamate transport by System XAG-. Upon deprivation of amino acids, the Vmax. for Na+/aspartate co-transport rose to 203 +/- 6.0 pmol/3 min per mg (Km 3.8 +/- 0.5 microns). A probe was constructed to the high-affinity excitatory amino acid carrier (EAAC1) [Kanai and Hediger (1992) Nature (London) 360, 467-471]. The probe hybridized to a 3.5 kb transcript. On deprivation of amino acids, the level of EAAC1 mRNA decreased sharply before the measurable increase in transport levels, but was subsequently restored to control levels. A motif, which we propose is linked to amino acid deprivation, was found in the EAAC1 primary sequence.

The development of gamma-glutamyltransferase in a pig renal-epithelial-cell line in vitro. Relationship to amino acid transport.

Project description:The pig kidney-cell line, LLC-PK1, possesses gamma-glutamyltransferase with properties similar to those of the purified renal enzyme. gamma-Glutamyltransferase activity increases after cells are seeded at low density to reach values comparable with those found in kidney cortex when the cells are fully confluent. This increase is paralleled by an increase in alpha-methyl D-glucoside uptake. In contrast, the uptakes of L-leucine and L-alanine decrease during this time. These results suggest that gamma-glutamyltransferase is not important as a mediator of the renal transport of neutral amino acids.

Amino acid deprivation leads to the emergence of System A activity and the synthesis of a specific membrane glycoprotein in the bovine renal epithelial cell line NBL-1.

Project description:1. Amino acid deprivation of confluent monolayers of the bovine renal epithelial cell line NBL-1 causes a stimulation of Na(+)-dependent alanine transport. 2. This stimulation is mediated by a protein-synthesis-dependent induction of 2-(methylamino)isobutyric acid (methyl-AIB)-sensitive alanine transport activity (System A), which was not previously present in these cells. 3. Induction was prevented by the addition of methyl-AIB, alanine or glutamine. 4. Tunicamycin prevented the induction of alanine transport activity. 5. Induction of System A activity was accompanied by incorporation of [3H]mannose into a single membrane protein band of molecular mass 113-140 kDa. 6. These results are consistent with the possibility that induced System A activity in confluent NBL-1 cells is mediated by the synthesis of a 113-140 kDa membrane glycoprotein.

Regulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and the Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporter in the renal epithelial cell line NBL-1 under osmotic stress.

Project description:The long-term adaptation of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase to hypertonicity was studied using the bovine renal epithelial cell line NBL-1. Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity measured in intact cells as the ouabain-sensitive fraction of Rb+ uptake was stimulated (40% above controls) after incubating the cells in hypertonic medium. This stimulation was not correlated with significant changes in the amount of Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 subunit protein. Nevertheless, the amount of alpha 1 but not beta 1 subunit mRNA progressively increased after hypertonic shock (3-4-fold above basal values). These results suggest that the alpha 1 subunit gene is modulated by medium osmolarity, although this does not necessarily involve enhanced translation of the mRNA into active alpha 1 protein. Indeed, the increase in the biological activity of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase is abolished when the electrochemical Na+ transmembrane gradient is depleted by monensin, which is consistent with a post-translational effect on the activity of the sodium pump. A furosemide-sensitive component of Rb+ uptake, attributable to Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporter activity, was very low when cells were cultured in a regular medium, but was greatly induced after hypertonic shock. This induction could not be blocked by cycloheximide. Colcemide addition slightly reduced the absolute increase in Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporter activity, while cytochalasin B significantly potentiated the effect triggered by hypertonic shock. It is concluded: (i) that in NBL-1 cells the alpha 1 but not the beta 1 subunit of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase is encoded by an osmotically sensitive gene, and (ii) that the Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporter, although an osmotically sensitive carrier, is induced by a mechanism that is independent of protein synthesis but may rely, in an undetermined manner, on the structure of the cytoskeletal network.

MUC1(insC) affects vesicular transport in renal epithelial cells

Project description:Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease associated to the MUC1 gene (ADTKD-MUC1; formerly MCKD1) belongs to a heterogenous group of rare hereditary kidney diseases that is prototypically caused by frameshift mutations in the MUC1 repeat domain. The mutant MUC1(insC) lacks the transmembrane domaine, exhibits aberant cellular topology and hence might gain a function during the pathological process. To get insight into potential pathomechanisms we performed differential proteomics of extracellular vesicles shed by renal epithelia into the urine of patients. The study was based on three ADTKD patients and individual controls applying iTRAQ/LC-MS/MS. A total of 727 proteins were identified across all biological and technical replicates. A proportion of 47 proteins (6.5%) were fold-changed species. GO Term Enrichment analysis revealed proteins with significantly changed expression in ADTKD-associated extracellular vesicles as vesicular transport-associated proteins. Among these VTA1 is involved in the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway similar to the charged multivesicular body protein CHMP2B. VTA1 is also claimed to play roles as a cofactor of the AAA ATPases VPS4A and B in the disassembly of ESCRT III. Protein interaction databases list VPS4B, CHMP2A and IST1 as VTA1 binding partners.

EAAT3 promotes amino acid transport and proliferation of porcine intestinal epithelial cells.

Project description:Excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3, encoded by SLC1A1) is an epithelial type high-affinity anionic amino acid transporter, and glutamate is the major oxidative fuel for intestinal epithelial cells. This study investigated the effects of EAAT3 on amino acid transport and cell proliferation through activation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in porcine jejunal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). Anionic amino acid and cystine (Cys) transport were increased (P<0.05) by EAAT3 overexpression and decreased (P<0.05) by EAAT3 knockdown rather than other amino acids. MTT and cell counting assays suggested that IPEC-J2 cell proliferation increased (P<0.05) with EAAT3 overexpression. Phosphorylation of mTOR (Ser2448), ribosomal protein S6 kinase-1 (S6K1, Thr389) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein-1 (4EBP1, Thr70) was increased by EAAT3 overexpression and decreased by EAAT3 knockdown (P<0.05), as were levels of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and cystine/glutamate antiporter (xCT) (P<0.05). Our results demonstrate for the first time that EAAT3 facilitates anionic amino acid transport and activates the mTOR pathway, promoting Cys transport and IPEC-J2 cell proliferation.

Analysis of cationic amino acid transport activity in canine lens epithelial cells.

Project description:Cationic amino acid transport activity in a canine lens epithelial cells (LEC) line was investigated. The transporter activity of arginine was 0.424 ± 0.047 nmol/mg protein min, while the presence of N-ethylmaleimide, an inhibitor of the canine cationic amino acid transporter (CAT), reduced transport activity by 30%. A full-length cDNA sequence of canine CAT1 was 2558 bp long and was predicted to encode the 629 amino acid polypeptides. The deduced amino acid sequence of canine CAT1 showed similarities of 92.1% and 88.6% to those of the human and mouse, respectively. Western blot analysis detected a band at 70 kDa in a membrane protein sample of LEC. RT-PCR analysis confirmed that CAT1 was ubiquitously detected in all tissues examined.
