title: PLA2/PGE2 are involved in the inhibitory effect of bradykinin on the angiotensin-(1-7)-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase activity of the proximal tubule.
abstract: Recently, we demonstrated that bradykinin (BK) counteracts the stimulatory effect of Ang-(1-7) on the Na(+)-ATPase activity from basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule through B2 receptor. In the present paper, the signaling pathway involved in the inhibitory response of the Na(+)-ATPase activity to BK was investigated. The following results indicate that the phospholipase A2 (PLA2)/COX/prostaglandin E (PGE2) pathway is implicated in this process: (1) The inhibitory effect of BK on Ang-(1-7)-stimulated enzyme is abolished in a dose-dependent manner by quinacrine (10(-9)-10(-6)M), a nonspecific PLA2 inhibitor, and by PACOCF3 (10(-7)M), an inhibitor of a Ca(2+)-independent PLA2. However, AACOCF3 (2 x 10(-4) M), an inhibitor of the cytosolic PLA2, does not modify the inhibitory effect of BK. (2) The inhibitory effect of BK on the Ang-(1-7)-stimulated enzyme is reversed by cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors diclofenac (10(-12) M) and indomethacin (10(-12) M). (3) PGE2 (10(-12)-10(-5) M) inhibits the Na(+)-ATPase activity in a dose dependent manner. (4)The inhibitory effects of PGE2 and BK on the Na(+)-ATPase activity are not cumulative. (5) PGE2 (10(-12)-10(-8) M) counteracts the stimulatory effect of Ang-(1-7) on the enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner.
