Luminal flow stimulates endogenous nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O2 (-))
production by renal thick ascending limbs (TALs). The delicate balance between
these two factors regulates Na transport in TALs; NO enhances natriuresis,
whereas O2 (-) augments Na absorption. Endogenous, flow-stimulated O2 (-)
enhances Na/H exchange (NHE). Flow-stimulated NO reduces flow-induced O2 (-), a
process mediated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). However, whether
flow-stimulated, endogenously-produced NO diminishes O2 (-)-stimulated NHE
activity and the signaling pathway involved are unknown. We hypothesized that
flow-induced NO reduces the stimulation of NHE activity caused by flow-induced O2
(-) via PKG in TALs. Intracellular pH recovery after an acid load was measured as
an indicator of NHE activity in isolated, perfused rat TALs. l-Arginine, the NO
synthase substrate, decreased NHE activity by 34 ± 5% (n = 5; P < 0.04). The O2
(-) scavenger tempol decreased NHE activity by 46 ± 8% (n = 6; P < 0.004) in the
absence of NO. In the presence of l-arginine, the inhibitory effect of tempol on
NHE activity was reduced to -19 ± 6% (n = 6; P < 0.03). The soluble guanylate
cyclase inhibitor LY-83583 blocked the effect of l-arginine thus restoring
tempol's effect on NHE activity to -42 ± 4% (n = 6; P < 0.0005). The PKG
inhibitor KT-5823 also inhibited l-arginine's effect on tempol-reduced NHE
activity (-43 ± 5%; n = 5; P < 0.03). We conclude that flow-induced NO reduces
the stimulatory effect of endogenous, flow-induced O2 (-) on NHE activity in TALs
via an increase in cGMP and PKG activation.
