Background: Ion transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT) is regulated by numerous hormones and humoral factors, including insulin and dopamine. Previous studies show an interaction between insulin and the D(1) receptor. Because both D(1) and D(5) receptors belong to the D(1)-like receptor subfamily, it is possible that an interaction between insulin and the D(5) dopamine receptor exists in RPT cells from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).
Methods: D(5) receptor expression in immortalized RPT cells from WKY and SHRs was quantified by immunoblotting and D(5) receptor function by measuring Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity.
Results: Insulin increased the expression of the D(5) receptor. Stimulation with insulin (10(-7) mol/l) for 24 h increased D(5) receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats. This effect of insulin on D(5) receptor expression was aberrant in RPT cells from SHRs. The stimulatory effect of insulin on D(5) receptor expression in RPT cells from WKY rats was inhibited by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (PKC inhibitor peptide 19-31, 10(-6) mol/l) or a phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase inhibitor (wortmannin, 10(-6) mol/l), indicating that both PKC and PI3 kinase were involved in the signaling pathway. Stimulation of the D(5) receptor heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells with fenoldopam (10(-7) mol/l/15 min) inhibited Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity, whereas pretreatment with insulin (10(-7) mol/l/24 h) increased the D(5) receptor-mediated inhibition.
Conclusions: Insulin and D(5) receptors interact to regulate renal sodium transport; an aberrant interaction between insulin and D(5) receptor may participate in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
