PG - F47-51 LID - 10.1152/ajprenal.00270.2011 [doi] AB - Angiotensin (ANG) II via ANG II type 1 receptors (AT1R) activates renal sodium transporters including Na-K-ATPase and regulates sodium homeostasis and blood pressure. It is reported that at a high concentration, ANG II either inhibits or fails to stimulate Na-K-ATPase. However, the mechanisms for these phenomena are not clear. Here, we identified the signaling molecules involved in regulation of renal proximal tubular Na-K-ATPase at high ANG II concentrations. Proximal tubules from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were incubated with low concentrations of ANG II (pM), which activated Na-K-ATPase in both the groups; however, the stimulation was more robust in SHR. A high concentration of ANG II (muM) failed to stimulate Na-K-ATPase in WKY rats. However, in SHR ANG II (muM) continued to stimulate Na-K-ATPase, which was sensitive to the AT1R antagonist candesartan. In the presence of N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), a nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibitor, ANG II (muM) caused stimulation of Na-K-ATPase in proximal tubules of WKY rats while having no further stimulatory effect in SHR. ANG II (muM), via AT1R, increased proximal tubular NO levels in WKY rats but not in SHR. In SHR, NOS was uncoupled as incubation of proximal tubules with ANG II and l-arginine, a NOS substrate, caused superoxide generation only in SHR and not in WKY rats. The superoxide production in SHR was sensitive to l-NAME. There was exaggerated proximal tubular AT1R-G protein coupling and NAD(P)H oxidase activation in response to ANG II (muM) in proximal tubules of SHR compared with WKY rats. In SHR, inhibition of NADPH oxidase restored NOS coupling and ANG II-induced NO accumulation. In conclusion, at a high concentration ANG II (muM) activates renal NO signaling, which prevents stimulation of Na-K-ATPase in WKY rats. However, in SHR ANG II (muM) overstimulates NADPH oxidase, which impairs the NO system and leads to continued Na-K-ATPase activation.
