Actin cytoskeletal disruption is a hallmark of ischemic injury and ATP depletion in a number of cell types, including renal epithelial cells. We manipulated Rho GTPase signaling by transfection and microinjection in LLC-PK proximal tubule epithelial cells and observed actin cytoskeletal organization following ATP depletion or recovery by confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis. ATP depletion resulted in disruption of stress fibers, cortical F-actin, and apical actin bundles. Constitutively active RhoV14 prevented disruption of stress fibers and cortical F-actin during ATP depletion and enhanced the rate of stress fiber reassembly during recovery. Conversely, the Rho inhibitor C3 or dominant negative RhoN19 prevented recovery of F-actin assemblies upon repletion. Actin bundles in the apical microvilli and cytosolic F-actin were not affected by Rho signaling. Assembly of vinculin and paxillin into focal adhesions was disrupted by ATP depletion, and constitutively active RhoV14, although protecting stress fibers from disassembly, did not prevent dispersion of vinculin and paxillin, resulting in uncoupling of stress fiber and focal adhesion assembly. We propose that ATP depletion causes Rho inactivation during ischemia and that recovery of normal cellular architecture and function requires Rho.
