We have previously shown that
CO2 stimulation of the renal
Na-HCO3 cotransporter (NBC)
activity is abrogated by general inhibitors of protein tyrosine
kinases. The more selective inhibitor herbimycin also blocked this
effect at concentrations known to preferentially inhibit Src family
kinases (SFKs). We therefore examined a role for SFKs in
CO2-stimulated NBC activity. To
this end, we engineered OK cells to express the COOH-terminal Src
kinase (Csk), a negative regulator of SFKs.
CO2 stimulated NBC activity
normally in
-galactosidase-expressing and untransfected control
cells. In contrast, Csk-expressing cells had normal baseline NBC
activity that was not stimulated by
CO2. CO2 stimulation increased both
total SFK activity and specific tyrosine phosphorylation of Src. The
specific MEK1/2 inhibitor PD-98059 completely inhibited
the CO2 stimulation of NBC
activity as well as the accompanying phosphorylation and activation of ERK1/2. Our data suggest the involvement of both SFKs, probably Src,
and the "classic" MAPK pathway in mediating
CO2-stimulated NBC activity in
renal epithelial cells.
