Salt-sensitive hypertension involves a renal defect preventing the kidney from eliminating excess NaCl. The thick ascending limb of Henle loop reabsorbs approximate to 30% of filtered NaCl via the apical Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2). Higher NKCC2 activity and Cl reabsorption have been reported in the thick ascending limbs from Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DSS) fed normal salt. NKCC2 activity is primarily regulated by protein trafficking and phosphorylation at Thr(96)/Thr(101) via STE20- and SPS1-related proline and alanine-rich kinases and oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1. However, the mechanism for enhanced NKCC2 activity in DSS is unclear. We hypothesized that DSS exhibit enhanced NKCC2 trafficking and higher NKCC2 phosphorylation compared with Dahl salt-resistant rats on normal salt diet. We measured steady state surface NKCC2 expression and phosphorylation at Thr(96) and Thr(101) by surface biotinylation and Western blot. In DSS, the surface: total NKCC2 ratio was enhanced by 25% compared with Dahl salt-resistant rats (P
