The effect of activation of the Ca2+-sensing receptor on net Cl flux (JCl) has been investigated on microperfused cortical (C) thick ascending limb (TAL) from rat kidney. Increasing bath Ca2+ from 0.5 to 3 mM or adding 200 µM of the specific Ca2+-sensing receptor agonist neomycin reduced basal as well as antidiuretic hormone (ADH)-stimulated JCl by 27.7 ± 5.0% and 25.9 ± 4.1%, respectively. JCl remained unchanged in time control tubules. The effect of neomycin/Ca2+ on JCl was blocked by two protein kinase A inhibitors, H-9 or H-89, but not by a protein kinase C inhibitor, GF-109203X, regardless of whether ADH was present or not. Moreover, H-89 decreased basal JCl and prevented a further effect of 3 mM Ca2+. When JCl was increased by 8-bromo-cAMP plus IBMX, no effect of 3 mM Ca2+ was observed. Inhibitors of phospholipase A2 and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase failed to modify the effect of 3 mM Ca2+, although these agents dampened significantly the inhibitory effect of bradykinin on medullary TAL. We conclude that extracellular Ca2+ decreases basal and ADH-stimulated Cl reabsorption in CTAL by inhibiting the cAMP pathway, independently of protein kinase C or phospholipase A2 stimulation.
