We previously reported that parathyroid hormone and calcitonin increase Ca2+ uptake by purified distal luminal membranes. This effect is mimicked by high concentrations of cAMP. However, both hormones stimulate adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the phospholipase C pathway in the hormone action, and the interrelationship between the two messengers. Distal tubules from rabbit kidneys were incubated with dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) or PMA, or both, and Ca2+ uptake by purified luminal membranes was measured by the rapid filtration technique. Incubation of the distal tubules with 1 mM dbcAMP significantly increased Ca2+ transport by the luminal membranes. A dose-response curve showed a half-maximal stimulation with 0.82 mM dbcAMP. In contrast, treatment of the tubules with 10 nM, 100 nM or 1 μM PMA did not influence Ca2+ uptake by these membranes. However, the addition of 100 nM PMA to low concentrations of dbcAMP strongly increased this uptake. The presence of cAMP or protein kinase C inhibitors prevented the effects of either a high concentration of dbcAMP alone or a low concentration of dbcAMP combined with 100 nM PMA. Our laboratory has already reported that Ca2+ uptake by the distal luminal membranes displays two-component kinetics. dbcAMP increased the Vmax of the low-affinity component, whereas a combination of the two messengers stimulated the Vmax of both the low- and high-affinity components. From these results, we conclude that: (1) in the distal tubule cells, activation of both protein kinases A and C is necessary for the stimulation of Ca2+ transport by the luminal membrane; (2) the combined effect of protein kinases A and C involves both components of the Ca2+-transport kinetics. |
