The present study was aimed at evaluating the role of
D1- and D2-like receptors and investigating
whether inhibition of Na+ transepithelial flux by dopamine
is primarily dependent on inhibition of the apical
Na+/H+ exchanger, inhibition of the basolateral
Na+-K+-ATPase, or both. The data presented here
show that opossum kidney cells are endowed with D1- and
D2-like receptors, the activation of the former, but not
the latter, accompanied by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase
(EC50 = 220 ± 2 nM), marked intracellular acidification (IC50 = 58 ± 2 nM), and
attenuation of amphotericin B-induced decreases in short-circuit
current (28.6 ± 4.5% reduction) without affecting intracellular
pH recovery after CO2 removal. These results agree with the
view that dopamine, through the activation of D1- but not
D2-like receptors, inhibits both the
Na+/H+ exchanger (0.001933 ± 0.000121 vs.
0.000887 ± 0.000073 pH unit/s) and
Na+-K+-ATPase without interfering with the
Na+-independent HCO
