Regulation of rENaC mRNA by dietary NaCl and steroids: organ, tissue, and steroid heterogeneity

John B. Stokes and Rita D. Sigmund

Laboratory of Epithelial Transport, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Iowa City, Iowa 52242

Rats on a low-NaCl diet have a high Na+ channel activity in colon and kidney. To address the mechanism of this increased activity, we measured mRNA levels of three Na+ channel subunits in epithelial tissue (rENaC) from rats having been fed either a low (0.13%)- or high (8%)-NaCl diet for 2-3 wk. The size of the mRNA for each of the rENaC subunits as determined by Northern blot was unaffected by diet. RNase protection assay showed heterogeneity of response by organs and subunit. In lung, there was no effect of diet on any of the three subunits. In descending colon, the low-NaCl diet increased beta - and gamma -rENaC mRNA, with no effect on alpha -rENaC mRNA. In the kidney, the response to dietary NaCl was dependent on the region. In cortex and outer medulla, diet had no effect on any of the subunits. Rats fed the low-NaCl diet had greater alpha -rENaC in inner medulla but not beta - or gamma -rENaC mRNA. We next asked whether acute administration of pure glucocorticoid (GC) or mineralocorticoid (MC) hormones to adrenalectomized rats reproduced the effects of a low-NaCl diet. Six hours after administration of GC or MC, a somewhat different heterogeneity occurred. In lung, alpha -rENaC mRNA was increased but only in response to GC. In colon, either GC or MC increased beta - or gamma -rENaC, and there was no effect on alpha -rENaC. In kidney, either GC or MC increased alpha -rENaC, without an effect on beta - or gamma -rENaC. In contrast to the response to a low-NaCl diet, all three regions were similarly affected by acute steroids. These results demonstrate a striking heterogeneity in response to physiological stimuli that regulate ENaC function. The mRNA levels of each of the rENaC subunits can be determined by the type of steroid and by factors unique to the organ and even to the specific region of the kidney.
