We have recently reported that the
-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol, regulates the alveolar epithelial cell Na,K-ATPase via MAPK/ERK and rapamycin-sensitive pathways. Here, we report that isoproterenol phosphorylated the p70s6K in alveolar epithelial cells, which was inhibited by both, rapamycin and the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126. In alveolar epithelial cells transfected with a p70s6K dominant negative construct, isoproterenol did not increase Na,K-ATPase total protein expression, whereas in cells transfected with a rapamycin resistant mutant the isoproterenol-mediated increase in Na,K-ATPase was not prevented by rapamycin. Accordingly, we provide here first evidence that isoproterenol regulates the Na,K-ATPase via the p70s6K in alveolar epithelial cells.
