Popis: In this study, cell permeable diacyglycerols, sn-1,2-dioctanoglycerol (DiC8), and sn-1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) were found to downregulate the activity of Na+-K+ pump in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Both DiC8 and OAG decreased the binding of [3H]ouabain to intact oocytes while phorbol esters did not appreciably influence the same. These diacylglycerols inhibited the amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ influx and ouabain-sensitive 88Rb+ uptake in the oocytes. Furthermore, DiC8 prevented the 22Na+ efflux from the oocytes preloaded with 22Na+. Addition of H-7 to DiC8- and OAG-treated oocytes stimulated the pump activity curtailed by the two latters. The impairment of Na+-K+ pump activity by diacylglycerols suggests that protein kinase C activators may stimulate endocytosis of membrane-coupled Na+-K+ ATPase.
