title: [The role of protein kinase C in Na+ transport regulation in the skin of adult frogs and tadpoles of Rana temporaria].
abstract: Using the voltage-clamp technique, a possible role of protein kinase C in regulation of Na+ transport in the skin of the frog Rana temporaria was investigated. It was shown that protein kinase C activator phorbol ester 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), applied to the apical surface of the skin, stimulated transepithelial Na+ transport, measured as amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current, and also increased such electrical characteristics of frog skin as the open-circuit potential and transepithelial conductance. PMA exerts a similar stimulation effect on Na+ transport across the tadpole skin. Specific inhibitors of protein kinase C, chelerythryne or H-7, almost fully prevented the PMA-induced stimulation of Na+ transport. These data support a concept that the response to PMA was indeed mediated by PKC activation. The results are compatible with the important role played by protein kinase C in regulation of transepithelial Na+ transport in the skin of R. temporaria.
