The presence of high and low sodium affinity states for the Na(+)-dependent [(14)C]-l-alanine uptake in immortalized renal proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells was previously reported (Am. J. Physiol. 293 (2007) R538-R547). This study evaluated the role of H(2)O(2) on the Na(+)-dependent [(14)C]-l-alanine uptake of ASCT2 in immortalized renal PTE cells from Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Na(+) dependence of [(14)C]-l-alanine uptake was investigated replacing NaCl with an equimolar concentration of choline chloride in vehicle- and apocynin-treated cells. Na(+) removal from the uptake solution abolished transport activity in both WKY and SHR PTE cells. Decreases in H(2)O(2) levels in the extracellular medium significantly reduced Na(+)-K(m) and V(max) values of the low-affinity high-capacity component in SHR PTE cells, with no effect on the high-affinity low-capacity state of the Na(+)-dependent [(14)C]-l-alanine uptake. After removal of apocynin from the culture medium, H(2)O(2) levels returned to basal values within 1 to 3h in both WKY and SHR PTE cells and these were found stable for the next 24h. Under these experimental conditions, the Na(+)-K(m) and V(max) of the high-affinity low-capacity state were unaffected and the low-affinity high-capacity component remained significantly decreased 1day but not 4days after apocynin removal. In conclusion, H(2)O(2) in excess is required for the presence of a low-affinity high-capacity component for the Na(+)-dependent [(14)C]-l-alanine uptake in SHR PTE cells only. It is suggested that Na(+) binding in renal ASCT2 may be regulated by ROS in SHR PTE cells.
