We investigated the signaling pathways participating in hyperosmotic regulation of the human taurine transporter (TAUT) by using specific inhibitors of various intracellular signaling molecules. Among them, the specific inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Ca2+/CaM kinase II) completely repressed the hyperosmotic regulation of TAUT. The osmosensitive upregulation of TAUT was also significantly inhibited by calmodulin antagonists and calcium-chelators. The increased expression level of TAUT mRNA by hypertonicity was repressed by the specific Ca2+/CaM kinase II inhibitor. The activated form of Ca2+/CaM kinase II protein could only be detected in Caco-2 cells under hypertonic conditions. (C) 2004 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
