Dispersed medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) cells of the rabbit kidney produce an inhibitor of transport-related oxygen consumption when incubated at 37 degrees C. Appearance of this inhibitor is enhanced by incubation with arachidonic acid. Its appearance can be prevented by either 10(-6) M nordihydroguaiaretic acid or 10(-4) M indomethacin, but not by 10(-6) M indomethacin. These results suggest that the transport inhibitor is an eicosanoid produced by a pathway other than that catalyzed by cyclooxygenase. It inhibits ouabain-sensitive respiration in intact cells treated with amphotericin, suggesting direct inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase.
