Exposure of luminal membranes of LLC-PK^sub 1^ cells to ANG II induces dimerization of AT^sub 1^/AT^sub 2^ receptors to activate SERCA and to promote Ca^sup 2+^ mobilization

ANG II is secreted into the lumens of proximal tubules where it is also synthesized, thus increasing the local concentration of the peptide to levels of potential physiological relevance. In the present work, we studied the effect of ANG II via the luminal membranes of LLC-PK1 cells on Ca...-ATPase...

Description
Summary:ANG II is secreted into the lumens of proximal tubules where it is also synthesized, thus increasing the local concentration of the peptide to levels of potential physiological relevance. In the present work, we studied the effect of ANG II via the luminal membranes of LLC-PK1 cells on Ca...-ATPase of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SERCA) and plasma membrane (PMCA). ANG II (at concentrations found in the lumen) stimulated rapid (30 s) and persistent (30 min) SERCA activity by more than 100% and increased Ca... mobilization. Pretreatment with ANG II for 30 min enhanced the ANG II-induced Ca... spark, demonstrating a positively self-sustained stimulus of Ca... mobilization by ANG II. ANG II in the medium facing the luminal side of the cells decreased with time with no formation of metabolites, indicating peptide internalization. ANG II increased heterodimerization of AT1 and AT2 receptors by 140%, and either losartan or PD123319 completely blocked the stimulation of SERCA by ANG II. Using the PLC inhibitor U73122, PMA, and calphostin C, it was possible to demonstrate the involvement of a PLC...DAG(PMA)...PKC pathway in the stimulation of SERCA by ANG II with no effect on PMCA. We conclude that ANG II triggers SERCA activation via the luminal membrane, increasing the Ca... stock in the reticulum to ensure a more efficient subsequent mobilization of Ca... This first report on the regulation of SERCA activity by ANG II shows a new mechanism for Ca... homeostasis in renal cells and also for regulation of Ca...-modulated fluid reabsorption in proximal tubules.
