Cell cycle-dependent and kinase-specific regulation of the apical Na/H exchanger and the Na,K-ATPase in the kidney cell line LLC-PK1 by calcitonin.
Calcitonin (CT), which regulates serum calcium through its actions in bone and the kidney tubule, also has a potent natriuretic effect in vivo. Na reabsorption in the proximal kidney tubule is mostly dependent on the activity of the Na,K-ATPase and the apical Na/H exchanger. We have previously shown that CT regulates the activity of the Na,K-ATPase in the proximal kidney tubule cell line LLC-PK1 in a cell cycle-dependent manner. We report here that, in the same cells, CT also regulates the Na/H exchanger through a cell cycle-specific activation of the Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. In G2 phase, no changes in ethylisopropyl amiloride-sensitive 22Na uptake is observed, despite an increase in cAMP. In contrast, the hormone inhibits the apical exchanger when the cells are in S phase, resulting in an 80% inhibition of 22Na uptake. These results demonstrate that CT affects the activity of the two major proximal tubule Na transport systems and may help clarify the mechanisms by which CT regulates Na+ reabsorption.
