H441 cells, a bronchiolar epithelial cell line, develop a cyclic AMP-regulated benzamil-sensitive Na+ transport pathway on permeable supports (AJP 282: L631-L641, 2002). To understand the molecular basis for the stimulation of Na+ transport, we delineated the role of specific intracellular pathways and examined the effect of cAMP on
,
,
ENaC and sgk1 expression. Na+ transport increases within 5 minutes of cAMP stimulation and is sustained for over 24 hr. The sustained effect of cAMP on Na+ transport is abolished by LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3-Kinase, by H89, an inhibitor of PKA, or by SB202190, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. The sustained effect of cAMP was associated with increases in
ENaC mRNA and protein but without a detectable increase in
,
ENaC and sgk1. The early effect of cAMP on Na+ transport is brefeldin-sensitive and is mediated via protein kinase A. These results are consistent with a model where the early effect of cAMP is to increase trafficking of Na+ channels to the apical cell surface while the sustained effect requires the synthesis of
ENaC.
