title: Regulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity by dopamine in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
abstract: We investigated the effect of dopamine on Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. Na+,K(+)- ATPase activity was measured by a coupled enzyme assay. Our results demonstrate that dopamine and dopamine receptor agonists, SKF-38393 (a D1 receptor agonist) and quinpirole (a D2 receptor agonist) produced 62%, 50% and 49% inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in aortic smooth muscle cells, respectively. The combination of the two agonists produced inhibition similar to that of dopamine. Dopamine- and the agonist-induced Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibition was blocked by selective receptor antagonists. The Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibition by SKF-38393 but not by quinpirole was abolished by pertussis toxin. Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibition was also achieved by guanosine triphosphate analog GTP-gamma-S. SKF-38393 but not quinpirole stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis rate in rat aortic slices. SKF-38393-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis stimulation was reversed by SCH-23390, a dopamine D1 receptor antagonist, and attenuated by pertussis toxin. In conclusion, our observations indicate that dopamine and dopamine receptor agonists inhibit Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity through specific vascular receptors. Dopamine D1 receptors are linked to pertussis toxin sensitive-mechanism(s) and a GTP-binding protein appears to be coupled to the enzyme inhibition. Finally, the inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in response to dopamine D1 receptor activation may be mediated by the phospholipase C signaling pathway.
