ABSTRACT
A growing body of evidence implicates albumin has an important regulatory function in renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs). In present study, the effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on 14C-alpha-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (alpha-MG) uptake and its related signal molecules were examined in the primary cultured rabbit renal PTCs. BSA significantly increased uptake of alpha-MG, a distinctive proximal tubule marker, as well as expression level of Na+/glucose cotransporters (SGLT1 and SGLT2) proteins. The BSA-induced increase of alpha-MG uptake was completely blocked by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. Neomycin or U 73122 (PLC inhibitors), BAPTA/AM or TMB-8 (intracellular Ca2+ mobilization inhibitors) completely abolished BSA-induced increase of alpha-MG uptake. BSA significantly increased IPs accumulation, but did not affect Ca2+ uptake. Effect of BSA on alpha-MG uptake was blocked by PD 98059, but did not SB 203580. BSA increased phosphorylation of p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in a time-dependent manner. NAC or catalase (antioxidants) significantly blocked BSA-induced increase of H2O2 formation and alpha-MG uptake. BSA activated NF-kappaB translocation into nucleus. PDTC, SN50, and TLCK (NF-kappaB inhibitors) also completely blocked BSA-induced increase of alpha-MG uptake, NF-kappaB p65 and phospho IkappaB-alpha activation. In conclusion, BSA stimulates alpha-MG uptake and its action is partially correlated with PLC, MAPK, or NF-kappaB signal molecules in primary cultured renal PTCs.
