The aim of this study was to investigate whether endogenous superoxide anion is involved in the regulation of renal Na+,K+-ATPase and ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase activities. The study was performed in male Wistar rats. Compounds modulating superoxide anion concentration were infused under general anaesthesia into the abdominal aorta proximally to the renal arteries. The activity of ATPases was assayed in isolated microsomal fraction. We found that infusion of a superoxide anion-generating mixture, xanthine oxidase (1 mU/min per kg) + hypoxanthine (0.2 μmol/min per kg), increased the medullary Na+,K+-ATPase activity by 49.5% but had no effect on cortical Na+,K+-ATPase and either cortical or medullary ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase. This effect was reproduced by elevating endogenous superoxide anion with a superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethylthiocarbamate. In contrast, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, TEMPOL, decreased the medullary Na+,K+-ATPase activity. The inhibitory effect of TEMPOL was abolished by inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME), soluble guanylate cyclase (ODQ) and protein kinase G (KT5823). The stimulatory effect of diethylthiocarbamate was not observed in animals pretreated with a synthetic cGMP analogue, 8-bromo-cGMP. An inhibitor of NAD(P)H oxidase, apocynin (1 μmol/min per kg), decreased the Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the renal medulla and its effect was prevented by L-NAME, ODQ or KT5823. In contrast, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, oxypurinol, administered at the same dose was without effect. These data suggest that NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anion increases Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the renal medulla by reducing the availability of NO. Excessive intrarenal generation of superoxide anion may upregulate medullary Na+,K+-ATPase leading to sodium retention and blood pressure elevation.

The aim of this work was to develop a method for renal H+,K+-ATPase measurement based on the previously used Na+,K+-ATPase assay (Bełtowski et al.: J Physiol Pharmacol.; 1998, 49: 625-37). ATPase activity was assessed by measuring the amount of inorganic phosphate liberated from ATP by isolated microsomal fraction. Both ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-resistant K+-stimulated and Na+-independent ATPase activity was detected in the renal cortex and medulla. These activities were blocked by 0.2 mM imidazolpyridine derivative, Sch 28080. The method for ouabain- sensitive H+,K+-ATPase assay is characterized by good reproducibility, linearity and recovery. In contrast, the assay for ouabain-resistant H+,K+-ATPase was unsatisfactory, probably due to low activity of this enzyme. Ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by K+ with Km of 0.26 ± 0.04 mM and 0.69 ± 0.11 mM in cortex and medulla, respectively, and was inhibited by ouabain (Ki of 2.9 ± 0.3 μM in the renal cortex and 1.9 ± 0.4 μM in the renal medulla) and by Sch 28080 (Ki of 1.8 ± 0.5 μM and 2.5 ± 0.9 μM in cortex and medulla, respectively). We found that ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase accounted for about 12% of total ouabain-sensitive activity in the Na+,K+-ATPase assay. Therefore, we suggest to use Sch 28080 during Na+,K+-ATPase measurement to block H+,K+-ATPase and improve the assay specificity. Leptin administered intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg) decreased renal medullary Na+,K+-ATPase activity by 32.1% at 1 h after injection but had no effect on H+,K+-ATPase activity suggesting that the two renal ouabain-sensitive ATPases are separately regulated.
