We used the patch-clamp technique to examine the effect of adenosine on epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity in rat cortical collecting duct (CCD). Application of adenosine inhibits ENaC activity, and the effect of adenosine was mimicked by cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), an A₁ adenosine-receptor agonist that reduced channel activity from 1.32 to 0.64. The inhibitory effect of CHA on ENaC was mimicked by cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), which reduced channel activity from 1.1 to 0.55. In contrast, application of CGS-21680, an A_2a adenosine-receptor agonist, had no effect on ENaC and increased channel activity from 0.96 to 1.22. This suggests that the inhibitory effect of adenosine analogs resulted from stimulation of the A₁ adenosine receptor. Inhibition of PLC with U-73122 failed to abolish the effect of CHA on ENaC. In contrast, the inhibitory effect of CHA on ENaC was absent in the presence of the PLA₂ inhibitor arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF₃). This suggests a role of arachidonic acid (AA) in mediating the effect of adenosine on ENaC. To determine the metabolic pathway of AA responsible for the effect of adenosine, we examined the effect of CHA in the presence of indomethacin or N-methylsulfonyl-6-(2-propargyloxyphenyl)hexanamide (MS-PPOH). Inhibition of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) epoxygenase with MS-PPOH blocked the effect of CHA on ENaC. In contrast, CHA reduced ENaC activity in the presence of indomethacin. This suggests that CYP epoxygenase-dependent metabolites of AA mediate the effect of adenosine. Because 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12-EET) inhibits ENaC activity in the CCD (Wei Y, Lin DH, Kemp R, Yaddanapudi GSS, Nasjletti A, Falck JR, and Wang WH. J Gen Physiol 124: 719–727, 2004), we examined the role of 11,12-EET in mediating the effect of adenosine on ENaC. Addition of 11,12-EET inhibited ENaC channels in the CCD in which adenosine-induced inhibition was blocked by AACOCF3. We conclude that adenosine inhibits ENaC activity by stimulation of the A₁ adenosine receptor in the CCD and that the effect of adenosine is mediated by 11,12-EET.
