We have investigated the nongenomic as well as the genomic effects of glucocorticoids on phosphate (Pi) uptake in primary rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs) and have defined the involved signaling pathways. In the present study, cortisol-BSA (cortisol-BSA) (>10(-9) M, 30 min) was found to inhibit Pi uptake in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. However, progesterone-BSA (P(4)-BSA), 17ss-estradiol-BSA (E(2)-BSA), testosterone-BSA (T(4)-BSA), aldosterone, P(4), E(2), and T(4) (10(-9) M, 1 h) had no effect on Pi uptake. In addition, cortisol-BSA (10(-9) M) did not affect either Na(+) uptake or alpha-methylglucopyranoside (alpha-MG) uptake. The cortisol-BSA-induced inhibition of Pi uptake was associated with a decrease in the V(max) for Pi uptake, rather than the K(m). The inhibitory effect of cortisol-BSA was not blocked either by actinomycin D (an inhibitor of transcription), cycloheximide (an inhibitor of translation), or classical glucocorticoid receptor antagonists (RU 486 or P(4)). The cortisol-BSA-induced inhibition of Pi uptake was blocked by two phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors (neomycin or U73122), and two protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (staurosporine or bisindolylmaleimide I) but not by two adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A inhibitors [SQ 22536 (an adenylate cyclase inhibitor) or myristoylated protein kinase A inhibitor amide 14-22]. Furthermore, cortisol-BSA promoted the translocation of PKC from the cytosolic fraction to the membrane fraction, while having no effect on the activity of adenylate cyclase. Our observations may thus be interpreted as indicating that cortisol does indeed inhibit renal Pi uptake via a nongenomic mechanism, which involves the PLC/PKC pathway.
