title: Aldosterone rapidly activates Src kinase in M-1 cells involving the mineralocorticoid receptor and HSP84.
abstract: We investigated the effect of aldosterone on Src kinase. In the kidney cell line, M-1 aldosterone leads to a >2-fold transient activation of Src kinase seen as early as 2 min after aldosterone administration. Maximal Src kinase activation was measured at an aldosterone concentration of 1 nM. In parallel to activation, autophosphorylation at Tyr-416 of Src kinase increased. Src kinase activation was blocked by spironolactone. Aldosterone led to increased association of Src with HSP84. Furthermore, rapamycin blocked aldosterone-induced Src activation. We conclude that Src activation by aldosterone is mediated through the mineralocorticoid receptor and HSP84.
