Klotho-hypomorphic (Klotho(hm)) mice suffer from renal salt wasting and hypovolemia despite hyperaldosteronism. The present study explored the effect of Klotho on renal Na(+)/K(+) ATPase activity. According to immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy Na(+)/K(+) ATPase protein abundance in isolated collecting ducts was lower in Klotho(hm) mice than in their wild type littermates (Klotho(+/+)). Analysis with dual electrode voltage clamp recording showed that expression of Klotho in Xenopus oocytes increased the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase pump current. Treatment of Xenopus oocytes with Klotho protein similarly increased the pump current. In conclusion, Klotho increases the membrane abundance and activity of the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase. Decreased Na(+)/K(+) ATPase activity could thus contribute to the volume-depletion of klotho(hm) mice.

Background: FXYD3 is a Na/K-ATPase modulator which is upregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but its prognostic role is unknown. This study evaluated FXYD3 expression in chemo-naive patients with surgically-resected PDAC at a single centre (1993-2014).
Method: FXYD3 expression was assessed in tumour specimens using immunohistochemistry.

Background: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is potentially the most valuable water-soluble active component in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Its chemical formula contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, so it has a strong antioxidant capacity.
Objective: We aim to investigate the efficacy and the potential mechanism of Sal B in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke injury.

The Na, K-ATPase generates an asymmetric ion gradient that supports multiple cellular functions, including the control of cellular volume, neuronal excitability, secondary ionic transport, and the movement of molecules like amino acids and glucose. The intracellular and extracellular levels of Na and K ions are the classical local regulators of the enzyme's activity. Additionally, the regulation of Na, K-ATPase is a complex process that occurs at multiple levels, encompassing its total cellular content, subcellular distribution, and intrinsic activity.

Background: In China, stroke is the primary cause of adult death and disability. Because of the increased rate of blood vessel reperfusion, it is important to prevent cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, in which glutamate (Glu) excitotoxicity plays a critical role. The most important Glu transporter, GLT-1, is essential for the regulation of Glu, which is dependent on Na-K-ATPase (NKA)-induced ion concentration gradient differences.
