Regulation of Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase gene expression by sodium ions in cultured neonatal rat cardiocytes.

Abstract: Na,K-ATPase (NaK-pump) plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular ion composition. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Na' regulates the levels of mRNA coding for NaK-ATPase a and fi subunits in cultured neonatal rat cardiocytes. We measured intracellular Na+ levels (QNa'Ij) in cardiocytes using a Na'-sensitive fluorescence dye (SBFI). 1 mM ouabain caused a significant increase in [Nalji in cardiocytes; from 12.8±03 to 28.8±1.8 mM. Exposure of cardiocytes to 1 mM ouabain resulted … Show more

“…4-week-old SHR compared with that of WKY at the same age. Alterations in intracellular Na+ levels can induce a change in Na, K-ATPase gene expression, as in our previous study showing that Na+ induces a transient increase in the a and /3 isoform mRNA expression in cultured neonatal rat cardiocytes (36).…”

“…Although numerous studies performed in plants highlight the influence of intracellular sodium in triggering the expression of numerous genes, very little information has been obtained in animal cells, except for studies in which sodium has been shown to affect the expression of subunits of Na ϩ ,K ϩ -ATPase, a crucial enzyme responsible for cell sodium homeostasis (54). In cardiac myocytes, indirect evidence was obtained by using ouabain and digitalis at concentrations that increase [Na ϩ ] i (by inhibiting the Na ϩ ,K ϩ -ATPase activity) (53).…”

“…Experiments show that when mucosal glucose is increased and kept high, the increase in intracellular Na ϩ ([Na c ]) is followed by a slow decrease back to basal values, indicating a mechanism that increases the number of Na-K-ATPase transporter proteins to maintain Na ϩ homeostasis (30). This increase may stem from increased synthesis as it has been shown to do in central neurons and cardiocytes (74,98) or from a cytoplasmic holding area of available Na-K-ATPase proteins (73).…”
