We reported that cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in specific segments of the rat nephron. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that cyclosporin A reduces Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity through inhibition of calcineurin. In T cells, cyclosporin A and FK506 bind to immunophilins and inhibit the phosphatase activity of calcineurin; Rapamycin and SDZ 220-384 also bind to immunophilins but do not change calcineurin activity. Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity was measured in microdissected rat proximal tubule (S2 subsegment), medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL), and cortical collecting duct (CCD). First we found that two inhibitors of calcineurin, pentafluorophenol (PFP, 100 mM) and peptide 412 (1 mM), significantly reduced Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in the CCD by 78% and 70%, respectively. In CCDs, FK506 inhibited Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity by 61 to 85% at concentrations of 1.5 to 6 ng/ml, but not at 0.5 ng/ml. FK506 (6 ng/ml) inhibited Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in mTALs by 56% but did not inhibit it in S2s or glomeruli. In contrast, Rapamycin (12.5 ng/ml) did not change Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in CCDs or mTALs, but at a concentration of 12.5 micrograms/ml did block the inhibitory effect of FK506 (6 ng/ml) in both segments. SDZ 220-384 (600 ng/ml) did not change Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in CCDs. Thus, in CCDs and mTALs: (1) FK506, like cyclosporin A, inhibits Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity; (2) Rapamycin and SDZ 220-384 do not inhibit Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity; and (3) Rapamycin prevents FK506-induced inhibition of Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity. These responses may be explained by a direct inhibition of calcineurin activity yielding lower Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in CCDs and mTALs.
