We have identified a group of proteins (Mr approximately 70000-80000; pI approximately 5.8-6.4) in giant-toad (Bufo marinus) urinary-bladder epithelial cells whose synthesis appears to be related to aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport. To define this relationship further, we examined whether submaximal natriferic concentrations of aldosterone induced these proteins and whether spironolactone (a specific mineralocorticoid antagonist in renal epithelia) inhibited their synthesis. Short-circuit current was used to measure Na+ transport and epithelial-cell protein synthesis was detected with high-resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Submaximal natriferic concentrations of aldosterone (1.4 X 10(-8) M) induced the same proteins as maximal concentrations of the hormone (1.4 X 10(-7) M). In contrast, in previous experiments, similar proteins were not induced by subnatriferic concentrations (5.0 X 10(-8) M) of cortisol, a glucocorticoid. A spironolactone/aldosterone molar ratio of 2000:1 was required to inhibit aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport completely; ratios of 200:1 and 500:1 produced partial inhibition. Concentrations of spironolactone that abolished aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport also inhibited aldosterone-induced protein synthesis. We conclude that the synthesis of the proteins we have identified is specifically related to activation of the mineralocorticoid pathway. 相似文献

Aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport is mediated by new protein synthesis, but the identification of specific aldosterone-induced proteins (AIPs) has proven difficult and the cellular function of such proteins is unknown. Using high resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography we have identified AIPs of similar isoelectric points (5.8 to 6.4) and molecular weights (70,000 to 80,000) in membrane-rich and cytosolic subcellular fractions of epithelial cells derived from single toad urinary bladders. The ability of actinomycin D to inhibit both AIP synthesis and aldosterone-induced Na+ transport is consistent with a role for these proteins in the natriferic action of aldosterone. In addition, since non-natriferic concentrations of cortisol did not induce similar proteins, AIP synthesis appears to be mineralocorticoid-specific. The relationship of AIP synthesis to Na+ transport was also studied. Since amiloride, which blocks Na+ transport in high resistance epithelia, did not affect the synthesis of these proteins, Na+ transport is not required for their synthesis. In addition, similar proteins were not induced when Na+ transport was stimulated by antidiuretic hormone and theophylline. Consequently, AIP synthesis is not merely a nonspecific consequence of the cellular metabolic changes associated with Na+ transport. 相似文献

The amiloride-blockable Na+ channel was expressed in Xenopus oocytes injected with total RNA isolated from the toad urinary bladder. This system was used to investigate mechanisms that mediate the natriferic action of aldosterone. Incubation of the epithelium with aldosterone for 3 h doubled its channel activity but did not increase the ability of isolated RNA to express functional channels in oocytes. A 20-h incubation with the hormone produced an additional increase of Na+ transport across the intact epithelium and also augmented the channel activity expressed in oocytes by nearly 10-fold. The data are in agreement with our model that aldosterone enhances the apical Na+ permeability of tight epithelia by a short term activation of pre-existing channels, followed by chronic induction of new channel protein. Blocking methyl transfer reactions, previously shown to inhibit the natriferic action of aldosterone in tight epithelia, did not alter the basal or aldosterone-induced response in oocytes. 相似文献

The effect of oxytetracycline and demethylchlortetracycline on aldosterone- and insulin-mediated Na+ transport (short-circuit current) were examined in toad urinary bladders mounted in modified Ussing chambers. Oxytetracycline had little or no effect on either basal or aldosterone-mediated Na+ transport. In contrast, demethylchlortetracycline markedly inhibited both basal and aldosterone-mediated Na+ transport. Furthermore, demethylchlortetracycline inhibited the aldosterone response significantly out of proportion to its effects on basal Na+ transport. Neither of the drugs had an effect on insulin-mediated Na+ transport. Consequently, the natriuresis observed in certain patients treated with demethylchlortetracyline may be related to drug-induced renal resistance to the effects of aldosterone. 相似文献

The 21-diazo derivatives of 9 alpha-fluoro- and 9 alpha-bromo-21 deoxycorticosterone, 21-deoxycorticosterone, and progesterone were synthesized for use as photoaffinity labels for corticosteroid receptors. In the isolated toad bladder system, 9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone was as active as d-aldosterone and more active than 9 alpha-fluoro-cortisol in augmenting active Na+ transport. The activities of 21-diazoprogesterone and progesterone were equal; both were much less potent than d-aldosterone, however. These results indicate that the 21-diazo derivatives had significant functional activity in the toad bladder system. The rat kidney slice system was used to estimate the relative affinities of the diazo steroids for aldosterone receptor sites by competition experiments. At 100-fold excess of competitor to [3-H]aldosterone, the order of affinities was 9 alpha-fluoro-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone greater than 9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone greater than 21-diazoprogesterone. Moreover, 9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone reduced binding of [3-H]aldosterone to cytoplasmic and nuclear forms of the receptor proportionately. On the basis of competition for [3-H]corticosterone binding, presumably to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), the order of affinities was 21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone greater than 21-diazoprogesterone greater than 9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone. These findings indicate that 21-diazo steroids may be suitable as photogenerated affinity labels for mineralocorticoid receptors. The tritiated derivative, [1,2-3-H]-9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone (specific activity 25 Ci/mol) was synthesized and used in model experiments on photogenerated covalent binding to rat plasma proteins. Irradiation with uv light resulted in binding of [1,2-3-H]-9 alpha-bromo-21-diazo-21-deoxycorticosterone to plasma proteins, that was resistant to extraction with methylene dichloride and did not exchange with unlabeled corticosterone. The diazocorticosteroids, therefore, may have the requisite functional and selectivity properties for photoaffinity labeling of corticosteroid-binding proteins. Further studies are needed, however, to assure that photogenerated labeling with these steroids was site specific. 相似文献

A correlation study of the effects of two agents, 2-methyl-2-[p-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)phenoxy]propionic acid (TPIA) and amiloride, on aldosterone-induced alterations in Na+ transport, lipid synthesis, and phospholipid fatty acid composition has been carried out in the toad urinary bladder. TPIA, an inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, inhibits aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport as well as hormone-induced lipid synthesis and the increase in weight percentage of phospholipid long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Amiloride, a diuretic which blocks sodium entry into the transporting epithelium, does not alter aldosterone's effects on lipid and fatty acid metabolism but prevents the hormone-induced increase in Na+ transport. These results support the conclusion that aldosterone increases Na+ transport in the toad urinary bladder by altering membrane fatty acid metabolism and that the lipid biosynthetic events following aldosterone treatment are a primary response to the hormone and not secondary to increased Na+ transport. 相似文献

To study the role of corticosteroids in the regulation of colonic electrogenic amiloride-sensitive Na+ absorption (ISCNa) and barium-sensitive K+ secretion (ISCK) during development, we investigated suckling (10-day old), weanling (25-day old) and adult (90-day old) adrenalectomized rats after they had received aldosterone, dexamethasone or corticosterone. Adrenalectomy reduced markedly ISCNa in suckling rats and completely inhibited ISCNa in weanling animals; the ISCNa was absent in intact adult rats. The doses of aldosterone, corticosterone and dexamethasone estimated to be equivalent to the endogenous production rate of aldosterone and corticosterone restored ISCNa after 1 day in both suckling and weanling rats. Compared with aldosterone, glucocorticoids produced a greater increase in ISCNa. Concurrent spironolactone treatment (a mineralocorticoid antagonist) completely prevented the effect of aldosterone but had no effect in dexamethasone-treated rats. The glucocorticoid antagonist RU 38 486 inhibited the dexamethasone-induction of ISCNa but had no effect on aldosterone. The response to corticosteroids, measured as the increase of ISCNa, declined from suckling to adult rats. In contrast to ISCNa, the same time of treatment and the same doses of corticosteroids did not influence ISCK. ISCK was stimulated only after chronic treatment (4 days). These findings suggest that, in the distal colon of young rats, (1) both corticosteroids may regulate amiloride-sensitive Na+ absorption and barium-sensitive K+ secretion, (2) different receptors mediate the colonic effects of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, (3) immature rats are more sensitive to corticosteroids than adult animals, and (4) the acute effect of corticosteroids is an increase in Na+ absorption which is followed by delayed stimulation of K+ secretion. 相似文献

Aldosterone stimulates Na+ transport without affecting citrate synthase activity in cultured cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aldosterone increases citrate synthase activity in toad urinary bladder and mammalian kidney. It has been suggested that this action is important to aldosterone stimulation of Na+ transport, and it has been used as a marker of those epithelia which are stimulated by aldosterone. We describe three continuous lines of cultured cells derived from toad urinary bladder and toad kidney in which aldosterone increases active Na+ transport but does not increase the activity of citrate synthase. Therefore, in cultured cells at least, citrate synthase is not a critical enzyme for, or a suitable marker of, aldosterone stimulation of Na+ transport. 相似文献

Aldosterone induces the synthesis of a group of glycoproteins (GP65,70) in toad urinary bladders which are potential effectors of the natriferic action of this hormone. The GP65,70 complex is composed of two molecular weight classes of proteins (Mr 65 and 70 kDa), each class being composed of several discrete proteins of varying isoelectric points (5.8-6.2). These proteins can be partially enriched (approximately 20-fold) using wheat germ agglutinin-sepharose affinity chromatography, are neuraminidase-resistant, and can be N-deglycosylated by endoglycosidase-H and N-glycanase. Treatment with N-glycanase leads to the appearance of a microheterogeneous group of proteins, all having the same Mr (approximately 40 kDa). From these studies it can be concluded that these particular aldosterone-induced proteins: (1) are heavily glycosylated, (2) contain multiple high mannose and hybrid oligosaccharides side chains, and (3) contain similar (if not identical) peptide backbones. Post-translational N-glycosylation accounts, at least in part, for their electrophoretic polymorphism (variation in Mr) but not for their electrophoretic microheterogeneity (variation in pI). The latter may reflect other types of post-translational modification (e.g. O-glycosylation, phosphorylation) or may be due to subtle differences in amino acid composition. The partial purification and biochemical characterization of GP65,70 should ultimately lead to a better understanding of the function of these putative "effectors" of aldosterone-stimulated Na+ transport. 相似文献

Paired toad urinary hemibladders were incubated with [35S]methionine in the presence (experimental) or absence (control) of aldosterone. Short-circuit current was used to monitor aldosterone-induced Na+ transport. Protein synthesis in epithelial cell subcellular fractions (cytosolic, microsomal, mitochondrial) was evaluated by gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Aldosterone-induced proteins were identified in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions (70 000 and 15 000 daltons, respectively). These results represent the first demonstration of aldosterone-induced proteins in subcellular fractions of epithelial cells derived from single toad urinary hemibladders. 相似文献

The role of aldosterone in regulation of electrogenic Na+ transport is well established, though mineralocorticoid receptors bind glucocorticoids with similar binding affinity as aldosterone and plasma concentration of aldosterone is much lower than glucocorticoids. In mammals, the aldosterone specificity is conferred on the low-selective mineralocorticoid receptors by glucocorticoid inactivating enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11HSD) that converts cortisol or corticosterone into metabolites (cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone) with lower affinity for these receptors. The present study examined the chicken intestine, whether changes in 11HSD activity are able to modulate the effect of corticosterone on Na+ transport, and how the metabolism of this hormone is distributed within the intestinal wall. This study shows that not only aldosterone, but also corticosterone (B), was able to increase the electrogenic Na+ transport in chicken caecum in vitro. The effect of corticosterone was higher in the presence of carbenoxolone, an inhibitor of steroid dehydrogenases, and was comparable to the effect of aldosterone. The metabolism of B in the intestine was studied; results showed oxidation of this steroid to 11-dehydrocorticosterone (A) and reduction to 11-dehydro-20beta-dihydrocorticosterone (20diA) as the main metabolic products at low nanomolar concentration of the substrate. In contrast, 20beta-dihydrocorticosterone and 20diA were the major products at micromolar concentration of B. Progesterone was converted to 20beta-dihydroprogesterone. The metabolism of corticosterone was localized predominantly in the intestinal mucosa (enterocytes). In conclusion, the oxidation at position C11 and reduction at position C20 suggest that both 11HSD and 20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20HSD) operate in the chicken intestine and that the mucosa of avian intestine possesses a partly different system of modulation of corticosteroid signals than mammals. This system seems to protect the aldosterone target tissue against excessive concentration of corticosterone and progesterone. 相似文献

The role of aldosterone in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) is still poorly understood. Recently, aldosterone has been shown to modulate the function of cardiac Ca(2+) and K(+) channels, thus playing a role in the electrical remodeling process. The goal of this work was to investigate the role of aldosterone on the cardiac Na(+) current (I(Na)). We analyzed the effects of aldosterone on I(Na) in isolated adult mouse ventricular myocytes, using the whole cell patch-clamp technique. After 24 h incubation with 1 microM aldosterone, the I(Na) density was significantly increased (+55%), without alteration of the biophysical properties and the cell membrane capacitance. Aldosterone (10 nM) increased the I(Na) by 23%. In 24-h coincubation experiments, with the use of actinomycin D, cycloheximide, or brefeldin A, the effect of aldosterone on I(Na) was abolished. Spironolactone (mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, 10 microM) prevented the 1 microM aldosterone-dependent I(Na) increase, whereas RU-38486 (glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, 10 microM) did not. The action potential duration (APD) was longer in aldosterone-treated (APD(90): +53%) than in control myocytes. In addition, the L-type Ca(2+) current was also upregulated (+48%). We performed quantitative RT-PCR measurements and Western blots to quantify the mRNA and protein levels of Na(v)1.5 and Ca(v)1.2 (main channels mediating cardiac I(Na) and I(Ca)), but no significant difference was found. In conclusion, this study shows that aldosterone upregulates the cardiac I(Na) and suggest that this phenomenon may contribute to the HF-induced electrical remodeling process that may be reversed by spironolactone. 相似文献

Incubation of the mucosal surface of the toad urinary bladder with trypsin (1 mg/ml) irreversibly decreased the short-circuit current to 50% of the initial value. This decrease was accompanied by a proportionate decrease in apical Na permeability, estimated from the change in amiloride-sensitive resistance in depolarized preparations. In contrast, the paracellular resistance was unaffected by trypsinization. Amiloride, a specific blocker of the apical Na channels, prevented inactivation by trypsin. Inhibition of Na transport by substitution of mucosal Na, however, had no effect on the response to trypsin. Trypsinization of the apical membrane was also used to study regulation of Na transport by anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone. Prior exposure of the apical surface to trypsin did not reduce the response to ADH, which indicates that the ADH-induced Na channels were inaccessible to trypsin before addition of the hormone. On the other hand, stimulation of short-circuit current by aldosterone or pyruvate (added to substrate-depleted, aldosterone-repleted bladders) was substantially reduced by prior trypsinization of the apical surface. Thus, the increase in apical Na permeability elicited by aldosterone or substrate involves activation of Na channels that are continuously present in the apical membrane in nonconductive but trypsin-sensitive forms. 相似文献

The effects of aldosterone on protein synthesis in the latent period were investigated on cultured renal collecting duct cells from neonatal rabbit kidneys. Tissue was incubated with radioactively labelled uridine and amino acids and then precipitated with trichloroacetic acid in order to determine the intracellular precursor pool and identify new synthesis of RNA and protein. During the latent period, aldosterone increased the intracellular radioactive uridine pool and total radioactive RNA content already 20 and 60 min after its application; conversely 40 min after aldosterone introduction, no stimulation was found. Further experiments revealed that the intracellular radioactive amino acid pool was generally increased by aldosterone after 20, 40 and 60 min, while a distinct increased radioactive protein content was found to be induced by aldosterone only after 40 min. This indicates that aldosterone increases the uptake of RNA and protein precursors and the new synthesis of RNA and proteins. These events seem to to be regulated not continuously but intermittently. The induced proteins possibly take part in the mediation of the early hormone response. Experiments with the aldosterone antagonist, spironolactone, provide evidence for the specificity of the described hormone effects. The results after application of the Na+ channel blocker, amiloride, and the Na+/K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, G-strophanthin, indicate that the aldosterone effects are controlled by Na+ channels and Na+ pumps and therefore by the intracellular Na+ content. The inhibitory effect of cycloheximide on the aldosterone-induced protein synthesis indicates the role of these proteins on the hormone-stimulated Na+ transport. 相似文献

Aldosterone-mediated regulation of Na+, K(+)-ATPase gene expression in adult and neonatal rat cardiocytes. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
By altering the Na+/K+ electrochemical gradient, Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity profoundly influences cardiac cell excitability and contractility. The recent finding of mineralocorticoid hormone receptors in the heart implies that Na+,K(+)-ATPase gene expression, and hence cardiac function, is regulated by aldosterone, a corticosteroid hormone associated with certain forms of hypertension and classically involved in regulating Na+,K(+)-ATPase gene expression and transepithelial Na+ transport in tissues such as the kidney. The regulation by aldosterone of the major cardiac Na+,K(+)-ATPase isoform genes, alpha-1 and beta-1, were studied in adult and neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes grown in defined serum-free media. In both cell types, aldosterone-induced a rapid and sustained 3-fold induction in alpha-1 mRNA accumulation within 6 h. beta-1 mRNA was similarly induced. alpha-1 mRNA induction occurred over the physiological range with an EC50 of 1-2 nM, consistent with binding of aldosterone to the high affinity mineralocorticoid hormone receptor. In adult cardiocytes, this was associated with a 36% increase in alpha subunit protein accumulation and an increase in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase transport activity. Aldosterone did not alter the 3-h half-life of alpha-1 mRNA, indicating an induction of alpha-1 mRNA synthesis. Aldosterone-dependent alpha-1 mRNA accumulation was not blocked by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, whereas amiloride inhibited both an aldosterone-dependent increase in intracellular Na+ [Na+]i) and alpha-1 mRNA accumulation. This demonstrates that aldosterone directly stimulates Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-1 subunit mRNA synthesis and protein accumulation in cardiac cells throughout development and suggests that the heart is a mineralocorticoid-responsive organ. An early increase in [Na+]i may be a proximal event in the mediation of the hormone effect. 相似文献

In studies from several laboratories evidence has been adduced that renal Type I (mineralocorticoid) receptors and hippocampal "corticosterone-preferring" high affinity glucocorticoid receptors have similar high affinity for both aldosterone and corticosterone. In all these studies the evidence for renal mineralocorticoid receptors is indirect, inasmuch as the high concentrations of transcortin (CBG) in renal cytosol make studies with [3H]corticosterone as a probe difficult to interpret, given its high affinity for CBG. We here report direct binding studies, with [3H]aldosterone and [3H]corticosterone as probes, on hippocampal and renal cytosols from adrenalectomized rats, in which tracer was excluded from Type II dexamethasone binding glucocorticoid receptors with excess RU26988, and from CBG by excess cortisol 17 beta acid. In addition, we have compared the binding of [3H]aldosterone and [3H]corticosterone in renal cytosols from 10-day old rats, in which CBG levels in plasma and kidney are extremely low. Under conditions where neither tracer binds to type II sites or CBG, they label an equal number of sites (kidney 30-50 fmol/mg protein, hippocampus approximately 200 fmol/mg protein) with equal, high affinity (Kd 4 degrees C 0.3-0.5 nM). Thus direct tracer binding studies support the identity of renal Type I mineralocorticoid receptors and hippocampal Type I (high affinity, corticosterone preferring) glucocorticoid receptors. 相似文献

Epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC) can be regulated by both mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid hormones. In the mammalian kidney, effects of mineralocorticoids have been extensively studied, but those of glucocorticoids are complicated by metabolism of the hormones and cross-occupancy of mineralocorticoid receptors. Here, we report effects of dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, on ENaC in the rat kidney. Infusion of dexamethasone (24 μg/day) for 1 wk increased the abundance of αENaC 2.26 ± 0.04-fold. This was not accompanied by an induction of Na+ currents (I(Na)) measured in isolated split-open collecting ducts. In addition, hormone treatment did not increase the abundance of the cleaved forms of either αENaC or γENaC or the expression of βENaC or γENaC protein at the cell surface. The absence of hypokalemia also indicated the lack of ENaC activation in vivo. Dexamethasone increased the abundance of the Na+ transporters Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3; 1.36 ± 0.07-fold), Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter 2 (NKCC2; 1.49 ± 0.07-fold), and Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC; 1.72 ± 0.08-fold). Surface expression of NHE3 and NCC also increased with dexamethasone treatment. To examine whether glucocorticoids could either augment or inhibit the effects of mineralocorticoids, we infused dexamethasone (60 μg/day) together with aldosterone (12 μg/day). Dexamethasone further increased the abundance of αENaC in the presence of aldosterone, suggesting independent effects of the two hormones on this subunit. However, I(Na) was similar in animals treated with dexamethasone+aldosterone and with aldosterone alone. We conclude that dexamethasone can occupy glucocorticoid receptors in cortical collecting duct and induce the synthesis of αENaC. However, this induction is not sufficient to produce an increase in functional Na+ channels in the apical membrane, implying that the abundance of αENaC is not rate limiting for channel formation in the kidney. 相似文献

The kinetics of isotopic Na+ flows was studied in urinary bladders of toads from the Dominican Republic. Initial studies of the potential dependence of passive serosal to mucosal 22Na+ efflux demonstrated the absence of isotope interaction and/or other coupling with passive Na+ flow. The electrical current I and mucosal to serosal 22Na+ influx were then measured with transmembrane potential clamped at deltapsi=0, 25, 50, 75 or 100 mV. Subsequent elimination of active Na+ transport with mucosal amiloride permitted calculation of the rates of active Na+ transport JaNa and active and passive influx leads to JaNa and leads to JpNa. The results indicate that for Dominican toad bladders mounted in chambers only Na+ contributes significantly to transepithelial active ion transport; hence JaNa=Ja. Ja was abolished at deltapsi=E=96.3+/-1.9 (S.E.) mV. As deltapsi approached E, active efflux comes from Ja became demonstrable. At deltapsi=100 mV, comes from Ja exceeded leads to Ja, so that Ja was negative. Experimental values of leads to Ja agreed well with theoretical values predicted by a thermodynamic formulation: leads to Jaexp=0.985 leads to Jatheor (r=0.993). The dependence of leads to Ja on deltapsi is curvilinear. 相似文献

Inhibition by glucocorticoids of phosphate transport in primary cultured renal cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The regulation by glucocorticoids of phosphate transport in primary cultured chick renal cells was examined. Dexamethasone inhibited the Na+-dependent phosphate uptake system. Na+-independent phosphate uptake and Na+-dependent uptakes of alpha-methylglucoside and L-proline were unaffected. The mineralocorticoid aldosterone did not alter phosphate uptake. The inhibition of Na+-dependent phosphate uptake by dexamethasone was concentration-dependent, exhibited an induction period, was blocked by inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis, and was rapidly reversed when the steroid was removed. Following reversal, the cells could respond a second time to the glucocorticoid. However, this time the response was rapid, could be evoked at least for 24 h after glucocorticoid withdrawal, and might be prevented by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. These findings demonstrate that glucocorticoids act on renal cells to modulate phosphate transport and suggest that the renal cell system provides an attractive model to examine the mechanism by which glucocorticoids control gene expression and regulate plasma membrane transport function. 相似文献

Na reabsorption by tight epithelia, such as frog skin and toad urinary bladder, is highly sensitive to the acid-base status of the cytoplasm. This can be observed in intact epithelia by acidifying the intracellular compartment with acute hypercapnia. Both apical membrane Na channels, which are responsible for the uptake of Na into the cell, and basolateral membrane K channels, which are required for there cycling of K that is actively transported into the cell through the Na/K pump, are shut down by low intracellular pH. This suggests the possibility that cell pH may serve as an important regulator of transport.One possible role is as a second messenger for rapid effects of the adrenal mineralocorticoid aldosterone. 相似文献
