We have previously shown that dopamine D2-like receptor activation causes stimulation of Na+, K+, ATPase (NKA) activity in the proximal tubules of the rat kidney. The present study was designed to investigate the cellular signaling mechanisms mediating this response to D2-like receptor activation. We measured the stimulation of NKA activity by bromocriptine (D2-like receptor agonist) in absence and presence of PD 98059 (p44/42 MAPK kinase inhibitor) and genistein (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in renal proximal tubules. Both the agents inhibited bromocriptine-mediated stimulation of NKA, suggesting the involvement of p44/42 MAPK and tyrosine kinase in this response. Additionally, we found that bromocriptine increased the phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK in the proximal tubules, which was blocked by PD 98059 and genistein. These results show that D2-like receptor activation causes stimulation of NKA activity via a tyrosine kinase-p44/42 MAPK pathway in the proximal tubules of kidney.
