Na-K-ATPase provides a favorable transcellular Na gradient required for the functioning of Na-dependent nutrient transporters in intestinal epithelial cells. The primary metabolite for enterocytes is glutamine, which is absorbed via Na-glutamine co-transporter (SN2; SLC38A5) in intestinal crypt cells. SN2 activity is stimulated during chronic intestinal inflammation, at least in part, secondarily to the stimulation of Na-K-ATPase activity. Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is known to be elevated in the mucosa during chronic enteritis, but the way in which it may regulate Na-K-ATPase is not known. In an in vitro model of rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-18), Na-K-ATPase activity was significantly stimulated by LTD4. As LTD4 mediates its action via Ca-dependent protein kinase C (PKC), Ca levels were measured and were found to be increased. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of PKC, also mediated stimulation of Na-K-ATPase like LTD4, while BAPTA-AM (Ca chelator) and calphostin-C (Cal-C; PKC inhibitor) prevented the stimulation of Na-K-ATPase activity. LTD4 caused a significant increase in mRNA and plasma membrane protein expression of Na-K-ATPase α1 and β1 subunits, which was prevented by calphostin-C. These data demonstrate that LTD4 stimulates Na-K-ATPase in intestinal crypt cells secondarily to the transcriptional increase of Na-K-ATPase α1 and β1 subunits, mediated via the Ca-activated PKC pathway.

Corneal endothelium cells (CECs) regulate corneal hydration between the leaky barrier of the corneal endothelium and the ionic pumps on the surface of CECs. As CECs do not regenerate, loss of CECs leads to poor vision and corneal blindness. Corneal transplant is the only treatment option; however, there is a severe shortage of donor corneas globally.

Article Synopsis
- - Familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2) is associated with mutations in the Na,K-ATPase α isoform, like G301R, which causes issues in blood flow regulation in the brain by affecting Src kinase signaling.
- - In a study with mice carrying the G301R mutation, increased cerebral artery tone and exaggerated responses to stimulation were observed; however, treatment with pNaKtide normalized these issues by targeting the problematic signaling pathway.
- - The treatment with pNaKtide improved cerebral blood flow and neurovascular coupling in the mutant mice, while only slightly affecting blood pressure, indicating it as a promising therapeutic approach for FHM2.

Article Synopsis
- Ouabain, a hormone, speeds up the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) by increasing cyst area and fibrosis specifically in ADPKD mice due to its interaction with Na,K-ATPase (NKA).
- Researchers created a mouse model with a knockout of caveolin-1 (CAV1), the main structural protein of caveolae, to investigate the role of these structures in ouabain's effect on ADPKD.
- The study found that without caveolae, the ADPKD mice did not show increased cyst progression or cellular changes in response to ouabain, indicating that caveolae play a crucial role in NKA signaling and the advancement of

Objectives: Currently, there are no approved therapeutics for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Both oxidative stress and cochlear inflammation play important roles in the mechanism of NIHL. In this study, we evaluate the effect of D-methionine (D-met) and methylprednisolone (MP) on noise-induced hearing loss of guinea pigs.

The brain's ability to rapidly transition between sleep, quiet wakefulness, and states of high vigilance is remarkable. Cerebral norepinephrine (NE) plays a key role in promoting wakefulness, but how does the brain avoid neuronal hyperexcitability upon arousal? Here, we show that NE exposure results in the generation of free fatty acids (FFAs) within the plasma membrane from both astrocytes and neurons. In turn, FFAs dampen excitability by differentially modulating the activity of astrocytic and neuronal Na, K, ATPase.
