Pretranslational regulation of Na-K-ATPase in cultured canine kidney cells by low K+

Abstract: Long-term upregulation of the sodium pump [Na-K-adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase)] entails an increase in the number of enzyme molecules. We incubated Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in low K+ medium and studied the time course and magnitude of change in the relative abundance of the two Na-K-ATPase subunits (alpha and beta), in the synthesis rate of the subunits, and in the relative abundance of alpha- and beta-mRNA. When cells were incubated in medium containing 0.25 mM K+, intracellular Na+ incr… Show more

“…Taken together, these experiments provide no evidence for a role of increased cell Na ϩ as the mediator of the ␥-subunit response. These results could be considered unexpected because maneuvers that increase cell Na ϩ , such as depletion of extracellular K ϩ or the use of Na ϩ ionophores, have been described to increase Na͞K-ATPase activity (13). It is, thus, very possible that the mechanisms that control the synthesis of the ␣ 1 and ␤ subunits of Na͞K-ATPase are distinct from those mechanisms involved in the regulation of the ␥-subunit synthesis.…”

“…For instance, the effect of low K ϩ on the Na,K-ATPase had been repeatedly demonstrated in various cell models. Up-regulation of the Na,K-ATPase was observed in MDCK cells (48), , and LLC-PK1 (50) cells grown in serum-supplied medium. However, as demonstrated recently by Yin et al (51), withdrawal of serum (for a period longer than 16 h) from MDCK cultures abolished the effect of low K ϩ , and up-regulation of Na,K-ATPase was partially mimicked by addition of transferrin to the cell culture medium.…”

“…In brief, after cRNA injection, the oocytes were kept in ND10 solution (in mM): NaCl 10, KCl 2, CaCl 2 1.8, MgCl 2 5, tetraethylammonium (TEA-Cl) 10, HEPES-NMDG 10, pH 7.4; elicits an outwards current (I P ) that can be recorded. The (50 µM) strophantidin-sensitive portion of this current is carried by the pumps containing the endogenous Xenopus α-subunit and the current blocked by the subsequent addition of 3 mM ouabain corresponds to that carried by the hybrid pumps containing the ouabain-resistant rat α1-subunit.…”
