Reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide inhibits basolateral K+ channels in the rat CCD

We previously demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) stimulates the basolateral small-conductance K+ channel (SK) via a cGMP-dependent pathway [M. Lu and W. H. Wang. Am. J. Physiol. 270 (Cell Physiol. 39): C1336-C1342, 1996]. Because NO at high concentration has been shown to react with superoxide (O-2) to form peroxynitrite (OONO-) [W. A. Pryor and G. L. Squadrito. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 12): L699-L722, 1995 and M. S. Wolin. Microcirculation 3: 1-17, 1996], we extended our study to examine, using patch-clamp technique, the effect of high concentrations of NO on SK in cortical collecting duct (CCD) of rat kidney. Addition of NO donors [100-200 µM S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP)] reduced channel activity, defined as the product of channel number and open probability, to 15 and 25% of the control value, respectively. The inhibitory effect of NO was completely abolished in the presence of 10 mM Tiron, an intracellular scavenger of O-2. NO donors, 10 µM SNAP or SNP, which stimulate channel activity under control conditions, can also inhibit SK in the presence of an O-2 donor, pyrogallol, or in the presence of an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase, diethyldithiocarbamic acid. The inhibitory effect of NO is still observed in the presence of exogenous cGMP, suggesting that the NO-induced inhibition is not the result of decreased cGMP production. We conclude that the inhibitory effect of NO on channel activity results from an interaction between NO and O-2.
