Abstract

Little is known of the functional properties of the mammalian, brain-specific Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 5 (NHE5). Rat NHE5 was stably expressed in NHE-deficient PS120 cells, and its activity was characterized using the fluorescent pH-sensitive dye 2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. NHE5 was insensitive to ethylisopropyl amiloride. The transport kinetics displayed a simple Michaelis-Menten relationship for extracellular Na+ (apparent K Na= 27 ± 5 mM) and a Hill coefficient near 3 for the intracellular proton concentration with a half-maximal activity at an intracellular pH of 6.93 ± 0.03. NHE5 activity was inhibited by acute exposure to 8-bromo-cAMP or forskolin (which increases intracellular cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase). The kinase inhibitor H-89 reversed this inhibition, suggesting that regulation by cAMP involves a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent process. In contrast, 8-bromo-cGMP did not have a significant effect on activity. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristrate 13-acetate inhibited NHE5, and the PKC antagonist chelerythrine chloride blunted this effect. Activity was also inhibited by hyperosmotic-induced cell shrinkage but was unaffected by a hyposmotic challenge. These results demonstrate that rat brain NHE5 is downregulated by activation of PKA and PKC and by cell shrinkage, important regulators of neuronal cell function.
