title: Inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange in renal BLMV by IP3 depends on site of action and direction of Ca2+ flux.
abstract: It has previously been shown in synaptosomes that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) inhibits Ca2+ transport by the plasma membrane-bound Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The present study was therefore designed to determine if the effect of 1,4,5-IP3 was dependent on its site of action at the plasma membrane or on the direction of Ca2+ flux. To investigate this possibility, studies were performed in basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) isolated from rat renal cortex. As with synaptosomes, Ca2+ transport was inhibited by 1,4,5-IP3 in a concentration-dependent manner. At a concentration of 10(-6) M, 1,4,5-IP3 significantly (P < 0.005) inhibited Ca2+ transport by 36%. When Ca2+ transport was carried out in inside-out vesicles, 10(-6) M 1,4,5-IP3 significantly (P < 0.002) increased the degree of inhibition by an additional 75% (63 vs. 36%). However, 1,4,5-IP3 had no significant effect on Ca2+ transport in inside-out vesicles when Ca2+ flux was reversed (i.e., Ca2+ efflux). These data in renal BLMV confirm the novel action of 1,4,5-IP3 on the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger previously described in brain synaptosomes. These results also suggest that the action of 1,4,5-IP3 depends on both its site of action at the plasma membrane and on the direction of Ca2+ flux.
