The aim of the present study was to characterize the type(s) of
NaPO4 cotransporter expressed in
the human renal cell line HEK-293 and its regulation by parathyroid
hormone (PTH) in wild-type cells and in cells transfected by the
PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptor. The results showed that human
embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells expressed
NaPO4 cotransporter type III
(PiT1) mRNA and protein. In contrast, type I (NPT1) or II (NPT2)
cotransporter mRNA were not expressed.
Na+-dependent phosphate uptake

affinity constant: 23.32 ± 0.69 nmol

KH2PO4,
respectively), was stimulated by phosphate deprivation (maximal
increase 24.5 ± 0.8%, P < 0.001, after 15 h of phosphate deprivation), and was inhibited by
increasing pH (3.6 ± 0.2-fold decrease at pH 8.5, P < 0.0001). It was inhibited in a
time- and concentration-dependent fashion by PTH in HEK-293 cells
stably transfected by PTH/PTHrP receptors but not in parental HEK-293
cells. Maximal inhibition of
Na+-dependent phosphate transport
was observed at 30 min after the addition of 72 nM PTH-(1
34) (31.5 ± 2.4% inhibition, P < 0.01). PTH inhibition of phosphate transport was maintained in
phosphate-deprived cells and reversed by both GF109203X
(10
6 M) or staurosporine
(5.5 nM), two protein kinase C inhibitors. Na+-dependent phosphate uptake was
also significantly inhibited by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (20.9 ± 3.9% inhibition, P < 0.001) but not by dibutyril-cAMP
(10
4 M) or forskolin (50 µM). The physiological role played by type III
NaPO4 cotransport expression in
the overall renal regulation of phosphate homeostasis remains to be established.
