The type 1 sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE-1) is a ubiquitous electroneutral membrane transporter that is activated by hypertonicity in many cells. NHE-1 may be an important pathway for Na+ entry during volume restoration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying the osmotic regulation of NHE-1 are poorly understood. In the present study we conducted a screen for important signaling molecules that could be involved in hypertonicity-induced activation of NHE-1 in CHO-K1 cells. Hypertonicity rapidly activated NHE-1 in a concentration-dependent manner as assessed by proton microphysiometry and by measurements of intracellular pH on a FLIPR(TM) (fluorometric imaging plate reader). Inhibitors of Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) and Janus kinase 2 (Jak2) attenuated this activation, whereas neither calcium chelation nor inhibitors of protein kinase C, the Ras-ERK1/2 pathway, Src kinase, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzymes had significant effects. Hypertonicity also resulted in the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2 and STAT3 (the major substrate of Jak2) and CaM. Phosphorylation of Jak2 and CaM were blocked by AG490, an inhibitor of Jak2. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that hypertonicity stimulates the assembly of a signaling complex that includes CaM, Jak2, and NHE-1. Formation of the complex could be blocked by AG490. Thus, we propose that hypertonicity induces activation of NHE-1 in CHO-K1 cells in large part through the following pathway: hypertonicity 3 Jak2 phosphorylation and activation 3 tyrosine phosphorylation of CaM 3 association of CaM with NHE-1 --> NHE-1 activation.
