Na+/K+-ATPase, a plasma membrane protein abundantly expressed in epithelial tissues, has been identified and linked to numerous biological events, including ion transport and reabsorption. In Na+/K+-ATPase, the beta-subunit plays a fundamental role in the structural integrity and functional maturation of holoenzyme. Estrogens are important circulating hormones that can regulateNa(+)/K+-ATPase abundance and activity; however, the specific molecules participating in this process are largely unknown. Here, we characterize that N-myc down-stream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is an estrogen up-regulated gene. 17 beta-Estradiol binds with estrogen receptor beta but not estrogen receptor alpha to up-regulate NDRG2 expression via transcriptional activation. We also find that NDRG2 interacts with the beta 1-subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and stabilizes the beta 1-subunit by inhibiting its ubiquitination and degradation. NDRG2-induced prolongation of the beta 1-subunit protein half-life is accompanied by a similar increase in Na+/K+-ATPase-mediated Na+ transport and Na+ current in epithelial cells. In addition, NDRG2 silencing largely attenuates the accumulation of beta 1-subunit regulated by 17 beta-estradiol. Our results demonstrate that estrogen/NDRG2/Na+/K+-ATPase beta 1 pathway is important in promoting Na+/K+-ATPase activity and suggest this novel pathway might have substantial roles in ion transport, fluid balance, and homeostasis.
