| abstractText | Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) is the major Na(+) transporter in the intestine. Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase (SGK) 1 interacts with NHE regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2) and mediates activation of NHE3 by dexamethasone (Dex) in cultured epithelial cells. In this study, we compared short-term regulation of NHE3 by Dex in SGK1-null and NHERF2-null mice. In comparison to wild-type mice, loss of SGK1 or NHERF2 significantly attenuated regulation of NHE3 by Dex but did not completely obliterate the effect. We show that transfection of SGK2 or SGK3 in PS120 cells resulted in robust activation of NHE3 by Dex. However, unlike SGK1 or SGK2, SGK3 rapidly activated NHE3 within 15 min of Dex treatment in both PS120 and Caco-2bbe cells. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that SGK3 colocalized with NHE3 in recycling endosomes, whereas SGK1 and SGK2 were diffusely distributed. Mutation of Arg-90 of SGK3 disrupted the endosomal localization of SGK3 and delayed NHE3 activation. Activation of SGK3 and NHE3 by Dex was dependent on phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1), and Dex induced translocation of PDK1 to endosomes. Our study identifies SGK3 as a novel endosomal kinase that acutely regulates NHE3 in a PI3K-dependent mechanism. |
