title: Signaling cascade of ANG II-induced inhibition of alpha-MG uptake in renal proximal tubule cells.
abstract: ANG II and Na+-glucose cotransporter have been reported to be associated with the onset of diverse renal diseases. However, the effect of ANG II on Na+-glucose cotransporter activity was not elucidated. The effects of ANG II on alpha-methyl-D-[14C]glucopyranoside (alpha-MG) uptake and its related signal pathways were examined in the primary cultured rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs). ANG II (>2 h; >10(-9) M) inhibited alpha-MG uptake in a time- and concentration-dependent manner and decreased the protein level of Na+-glucose cotransporters, the expression of which was abrogated by both actinomycin D and cycloheximide exposure. ANG II-induced inhibition of alpha-MG uptake was blocked by losartan, an ANG II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, but not by PD-123319, an ANG II type 2 receptor blocker. ANG II-induced inhibition of alpha-MG uptake was blocked by genistein, herbimycin A [tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors], mepacrine, and AACOCF3 (phospholipase A2 inhibitors), suggesting the role of TK phosphorylation and arachidonic acid (AA). Indeed, ANG II increased AA release, which was blocked by losartan or TK inhibitors. The effects of ANG II on AA release and alpha-MG uptake also were abolished by staurosporine and bisindolylmaleimide I (protein kinase C inhibitors) or PD-98059 (p44/42 MAPK inhibitor), but not SB-203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor), respectively. Indeed, ANG II increased p44/42 MAPK activity. ANG II-induced activation of p44/42 MAPK was blocked by staurosporine. In conclusion, ANG II inhibited alpha-MG uptake via PKC-MAPK-cPLA2 signal cascade through the AT1 receptor in the PTCs.
