Sažetak
Metabolism of inositol phosphates in renal cortical slices was investigated in vitro after addition of plasma from uninephrectomized or sham- operated rats. Plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulated production of InsP3 (inositol trisphosphate) when obtained within the first 3 h after uninephrectomy. With different amounts of added plasma a graded response of InsP3 production was obtained. This effect could be prevented by 0.1 microM-TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13- acetate). When analysis of inositol phosphates was performed by h.p.l.c., plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulated a rapid increase in Ins(1, 4, 5)P3radioactivity, whereas the increase in inositol 1, 3, 4, 5-tetrakisphosphate and Ins(1, 3, 4)P3 radioactivity was slower. Plasma from uninephrectomized rats decreased cyclic AMP concentration in renal cortical slices. Similar effect was obtained when slices were incubated with TPA (0.05 microM).Plasma from uninephrectomized rats increased cyclic GMP concentration in renal cortical slices, but this effect was abolished when extracellular Ca2+ had been chelated with 4 mM-EGTA. Results indicate that plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulates phospholipase C, increases cyclic GMP concentration and decreases cyclic AMP concentration in renal cortical slices. Increases in cyclic GMP depend on extracellular Ca2+, whereas the decrease in cyclic AMP concentration is mediated by protein kinase C.
