title: Regulation of endothelial Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by cAMP.
abstract: Using an in vitro cell system and Cs+ NMR techniques we were able to show that porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) reduce their Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity upon an increase in intracellular cAMP. Reduction in the pump rate was due to phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of the ATPase as shown by immunoprecipitation. Apart from a pump inhibiton using 8-Br-cAMP and IBMX, we were also able to show that changes in the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity could be mediated by the adenosine-A2 and prostaglandin receptor agonists 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine and Iloprost, respectively. Parallel to a decrease in pump activity we also observed a decrease in intracellular Cs+, indicating opening of K+ channels.
