title: Differentiation of renal Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice by G-protein acting toxins and phorbol esters.
abstract: The specific activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in the renal medulla and cortex of 50-day-old streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice was increased 58% and 50%, respectively, as compared to controls. Km values of Na+ and K+ for this enzyme were unaltered, while that of ATP was decreased in diabetic mice. The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in control medulla and cortex was activated by both cholera and pertussis toxins, while this effect was abolished in diabetics. Since dibutyryl cAMP stimulates cortical Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in control mice, the activation effect of cholera toxin on this enzyme might be due to its interaction with a Gs-protein and the persistent stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity, while the effect of pertussis toxin might be due to its masking of the inhibitory action of a Gi-protein on adenylate cyclase activity. However, the protein kinase C (PKC)-associated Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase might also be quiescent in diabetes, because the stimulating effect of phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on this enzyme was abolished in diabetic cortex. In addition, nicardipine and ouabain were found to have differential effects on this enzyme derived from control and diabetic mice.
