Inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase, an alternative way to increase the cellular DAG level, was shown to reproduce, in renal proximal tubular cells, the inhibitory effect of protein kinase C (PKC) activators on Na-Pi and Na-alpha-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (MGP) cotransport. To evaluate whether 12S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12S-HETE) or 12R-HETE, a DAG kinase inhibitor in endothelial cells, has a similar effect in proximal tubular cells, we studied the influence of this lipoxygenase product on Na-dependent uptake of Pi, MGP, and alanine, as well as on [14C]arachidonate-DAG content and [32P]phosphatidic acid (PA) content in rabbit proximal tubular cells grown as a primary culture. 12-HETE (1-10 microM) decreased [32P]PA content and stimulated [14C]DAG accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner. The labeled phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin contents were not modified. 12-HETE also decreased DAG kinase activity of cell membranes. 12-HETE (10 microM) decreased the maximum velocity of Pi uptake by 36% and that of MGP uptake by 44% but did not affect alanine uptake. The effect of 12-HETE on transport was potentiated by calcium ionophore A23187 and was blunted by PKC downregulation. The effects of 12-HETE on lipid composition and transport were mimicked by R 59022, a pharmacological DAG kinase inhibitor. Neither arachidonic acid nor prostaglandin E2 reproduced the effects of 12-HETE. We conclude that in the proximal tubule, 12-HETE affected Na-dependent Pi and MGP cotransport through stimulation of PKC and that 12-HETE-induced activation of PKC is mediated by the inhibition of DAG kinase.
