title: Dopamine inhibits na,h-exchanger via D1-like receptor-mediated stimulation of protein kinase a in renal proximal tubules.
abstract: Dopamine causes natriuresis and diuresis via activation of D1-like receptors located in the renal proximal tubules. It is reported that this response to dopamine results from the inhibition of Na,H-exchanger and Na,K-ATPase. Earlier studies have suggested a role of protein kinase A (PKA) in the inhibition of Na,H-exchanger, however, the effect of dopamine or the dopamine receptor subtype responsible for the stimulation of PKA has not been reported. Present study was designed to examine the effect of dopamine and D1-like receptor agonist, SKF 38393, on the stimulation of PKA activity in rat renal proximal tubules. Dopamine and SKF 38393 (1 nM - 1 microM) caused stimulation of PKA activity, an effect which was antagonized by a D1-like receptor antagonist, SCH 23390 (10 microM). Stimulation of PKA activity was also seen with forskolin and di-butyryl cAMP. We also observed that dopamine and SKF 38393 inhibited Na,H-exchanger activity in the proximal tubules. This response was blocked by SCH 23390 and Rp-cAMPS triethylamine, a selective inhibitor of PKA. Similarly, forskolin and di-butyryl cAMP inhibited Na,H-exchanger activity. The data provide direct evidence showing that dopamine, through the activation of D1-like receptors stimulates PKA activity which in turn inhibits Na,H-exchanger in the proximal tubules.
