3,4,5-Trichloroaniline Nephrotoxicity In Vitro: Potential Role Of Free Radicals And Renal Biotransformation, Christopher Racine, Dakota Ward, Dianne K. Anestis, Travis Ferguson, Deborah Preston, Gary O. Rankin

Dianne K. Anestis

Chloroanilines are widely used in the manufacture of drugs, pesticides and industrial intermediates. Among the trichloroanilines, 3,4,5-trichloroaniline (TCA) is the most potent nephrotoxicant in vivo. The purpose of this study was to examine the nephrotoxic potential of TCA in vitro and to determine if renal biotransformation and/or free radicals contributed to TCA cytotoxicity using isolated renal cortical cells (IRCC) from male Fischer 344 rats as the animal model. IRCC (~4 million cells/mL; 3 mL) were incubated with TCA (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mM) for 60–120 min. In some experiments, IRCC were pretreated with an antioxidant or a …

Effects Of Cardiac Glycosides On Sodium Pump Expression And Function In Llc-Pk1 And Mdck Cells, Jiang Liu, Sankaridrug Periyasamy, William Gunning, Olga Fedorova, Alexi Bagrov, Deepak Malhorta, Zijian Xie, Joseph Shapiro

Zijian Xie

Background: The decreases in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption seen with chronic renal failure and volume expansion have been ascribed to circulating digitalis-like substances (DLS). However, the circulating concentrations of DLS do not acutely inhibit the sodium pump to a degree consistent with the observed changes in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption.

Methods: We examined how cell lines that simulated proximal (LLC-PK1) and distal tubule (MDCK) cells responded to acute (30 min) and long-term (up to 12 hours) Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase inhibition with DLS.

Results: In LLC-PK1, but not MDCK cells, low concentrations of ouabain decreased ⁸⁶Rb uptake profoundly …

Regulation Of Apical Nhe3 Trafficking By Ouabain-Induced Activation Of Basolateral Na/K-Atpase Receptor Complex, Haiping Cai, Liang Wu, Weikai Qu, Deepak Malhotra, Zijian Xie, Joseph I. Shapiro, Jiang Liu

Zijian Xie

The long-term effects of ouabain on transepithelial Na+ transport involve transcriptional downregulation of apical Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3). The aim of this study was to determine whether ouabain could acutely regulate NHE3 via a posttranscriptional mechanism in LLC-PK1 cells. We observed that the basolateral, but not apical, application of ouabain for 1 h significantly reduced transepithelial Na+ transport. This effect was not due to changes in the integrity of tight junctions or increases in the intracellular Na+ concentration. Ouabain regulated the trafficking of NHE3 and subsequently inhibited its activity, a process independent of intracellular Na+ concentration. Ouabain-induced NHE3 trafficking …

Cardiac Glycoside Downregulates Nhe3 Activity And Expression In Llc-Pk1 Cells, Shadi Oweis, Liang Wu, Pawel Kiela, Deepak Malhotra, Fayez Ghishan, Zijian Xie, Joseph Shapiro, Jiang Liu

Zijian Xie

Ouabain, a cardiotonic steroid and a specific inhibitor of the Na+-K+-ATPase, has been shown to significantly inhibit transcellular Na+ transport without altering the intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) in the epithelial cells derived from the renal proximal tubules. We therefore studied whether ouabain affects the activity and expression of Na_/H_ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) representing the major route of apical Na_ reabsorption in LLC-PK1 cells. Chronic basolateral, but not apical, exposure to low-concentration ouabain (50 and 100 nM) did not change [Na+]i but significantly reduced NHE3 activity, NHE3 protein, and mRNA wxpression. Inhibition of c-Src or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) with PP2 …
