Activation of latent Ca2+ channels in renal epithelial cells by parathyroid hormone
Abstract
Calcium has an important role in regulating epithelial cell ion transport and is itself transported by tissues involved in the maintenance of extracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Although the mechanism of Ca2+ entry in electrically excitable cells is well-documented little is known about it in epithelial cells. Calcium absorption in polarized epithelial cells is a two-step process in which Ca2+ enters cells across apical plasma membranes and is extruded across basolateral membranes. Efflux may be mediated by an energy-dependent Ca2(+)-ATPase or by Na+/Ca2+ exchange. We examined Ca2+ influx in single cultured cells from distal renal tubules sensitive to parathyroid hormone by measuring intracellular Ca2+. Our results demonstrate that parathyroid hormone activates dihydropyridine-sensitive channels responsible for Ca2+ entry. We also show that microtubule-dependent exocytosis stimulated by parathyroid hormone may be necessary for the insertion or activation of Ca2+ channels in these cells. Once inserted or activated, dihydropyridine-sensitive channels mediate Ca2+ entry into these Ca2(+)-transporting epithelial cells. Our results support the view that agonist-induced exocytosis may represent a general paradigm for modulation of transport in epithelial cells by delivery and incorporation of transport proteins to plasma membranes or by delivery to plasma membranes of factors regulating these proteins.
