Abstract

Treatment with ouabain led to massive death of principal cells from collecting ducts (C7-MDCK), indicated by cell swelling, loss of mitochondrial function, an irregular pattern of DNA degradation, and insensitivity to pan-caspase inhibitor. Equimolar substitution of extracellular Na(+) by K(+) or choline(+) sharply attenuated the effect of ouabain on intracellular Na(+) and K(+) content but did not protect the cells from death in the presence of ouabain. In contrast to ouabain, inhibition of the Na(+)/K(+) pump in K(+)-free medium increased Na(+)(i) content but did not affect cell survival. In control and K(+)-free medium, ouabain triggered half-maximal cell death at concentrations of approximately 0.5 and 0.05 microM, respectively, which was consistent with elevation of Na(+)/K(+) pump sensitivity to ouabain in K(+)-depleted medium. Our results show for the first time that the death of ouabain-treated renal epithelial cells is independent of the inhibition of Na(+)/K(+) pump-mediated ion fluxes and the [Na(+)](i)]/[K(+)](i) ratio.
