title: Crosstalk between the signaling pathways triggered by angiotensin II and adenosine in the renal proximal tubules: implications for modulation of Na(+)-ATPase activity.
abstract: We have previously demonstrated that adenosine (Ado) reverses the stimulatory effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on Na(+)-ATPase activity via the A(2A) receptor. In this work, the molecular mechanism involved in Ado-induced shutdown in the signaling pathway triggered by 10(-8)M Ang II was investigated. It was observed that: (1) both 10(-12)M PMA (a PKC activator) and 5x10(-8)M U73122 (an inhibitor of PI-PLCbeta) prevent the reversion effect induced by 10(-6)M Ado (only observed in the presence of 10(-6)M DPCPX (an A(1) receptor antagonist)) on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities; (2) Ang II-stimulated PKC activity was reversed by 10(-6)M forskolin (an adenylyl cyclase activator) or 10(-8)M PKA inhibitory peptide and 10(-8)M DMPX (an A(2) receptor-selective antagonist). Considering that PMA prevents the inhibitory effect of Ado on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities, it is likely that the PMA-induced effect, i.e. PKC activation, is downstream of the target for Ado-induced reversion of Ang II stimulation of Na(+)-ATPase activity. We investigated the hypothesis that PI-PLCbeta could be the target for Ado-induced PKA activation. Our data demonstrate that Ang II-stimulated PI-PLCbeta activity was reversed by Ado or 10(-7)M cAMP; the reversibility of the Ado-induced effect was prevented by either DMPX or PKA inhibitory peptide. These data demonstrate that Ado-induced PKA activation reduces Ang II-induced stimulation of PI-PLCbeta.
