NCX1 Na/Ca exchanger inhibition by antisense oligonucleotides in mouse distal convoluted tubule cells.BackgroundPlasma membraneNCX1 Na+/Ca2+exchangers mediate cellular Ca2+efflux. Renal distal convoluted tubule (DCT) cells express transcripts encoding three alternatively splicedNCX1 isoforms: NACA2 (exons B, C, D), NACA3 (exons B and D), and NACA6 (exons A, C, D). We used antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) to determine the function of these NACA isoforms on Na+/Ca2+exchanger activity and expression in DCT cells.MethodsSense and antisense ODNs targeting exchanger transcripts were introduced into DCT cells permeabilized with streptolysin O. Na+/Ca2+exchange activity was assessed by measuring Na+-dependent changes of free intracellular Ca2+concentration (Δ[Ca2+]i), in single cells, when the electrochemical gradient for Na+was reversed.ResultsThe change of [Ca2+]iin cells treated with antisense ODNs to a downstream or upstream region common to allNCX1 isoforms was 173 nm(-66%) to the downstream region located in the putative ninth transmembrane domain, and 226 nm(-39%) with ODNs to an upstream region located 5′ to the variable portion of the intracellular loop. Antisense ODNs to exon B, present in both NACA2 and NACA3, decreased Δ[Ca2+]iby 209 nm(-44%), while antisense ODNs specific for NACA6 (exon A) were without effect. Antisense ODNs specific for exon C, present in NACA2 and NACA6, decreased Δ[Ca2+]iby 226 nm(-39%). Northern analysis of mRNA prepared from primary cultures of distal tubule cells revealed exon B- but not exon A-containing transcripts. Immunofluorescence analysis using a polyclonal antibody that recognizesNCX1 confirmed that protein expression was inhibited after treatment with the exon B antisense ODNs.ConclusionThese findings show that Na+-dependent cellular Ca2+efflux in DCT cells is primarily mediated by NACA2 and NACA3.
