Abstract: | Recently, our group described a B1-mediated stimulatory effect of des-Arg(9)-bradykinin (DABK) on the Na(+)-ATPase activity of proximal tubule basolateral membranes (BLM) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1431 (1999) 483.]. Data in the present report suggest the participation of a phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC (PI-PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway as the molecular mechanism of DABK-mediated stimulation of the Na(+)-ATPase activity since (i) 10(-8) M DABK activates PI-PLC activity; (ii) 10(-9) M U73122, a PI-PLC inhibitor, abolishes the effect of 10(-8) M DABK on the Na(+)-ATPase activity; (iii) 10(-8) M DABK increases phosphoprotein formation by 34%. This effect is completely reversed by 10(-7) M calphostin C, an inhibitor of PKC; (iv) 20 ng/ml TPA, an activator of PKC, and 10(-8) M DABK stimulate the Na(+)-ATPase activity in a similar and nonadditive manner. Furthermore, the effect of 10(-8) M DABK is completely reversed by calphostin C; (v) 10(-8) M DABK increases phosphoserine residue levels by 54%. This effect is completely reversed by 10(-7) M calphostin C. |
