Abstract

Task1 and Task3 potassium channels (Task: tandem of P domains in a weak inward rectifying K+ channel-related acid-sensitive K+ channel) are believed to control the membrane voltage of aldosterone-producing adrenal glomerulosa cells. This study aimed at understanding the role of Task3 for the control of aldosterone secretion. The adrenal phenotype of Task3(-/-) mice was investigated using electrophysiology, adrenal slices, and blood pressure measurements. Primary adrenocortical cells of Task3(-/-) mice were strongly depolarized compared with wild-type (-52 vs. -79 mV), and in fresh adrenal slices Ca2+ signaling of Task3(-/-) glomerulosa cells was abnormal. In living Task3(-/-) mice, the regulation of aldosterone secretion showed specific deficits: Under low Na+ and high K+ diets, protocols known to increase aldosterone, and under standard diet, Task3 inactivation was compensated and aldosterone was normal. However, high Na+ and low K+ diets, two protocols known to lower aldosterone, failed to lower aldosterone in Task3(-/-) mice. The physiological regulation of aldosterone was disturbed: aldosterone-renin ratio, an indicator of autonomous aldosterone secretion, was 3-fold elevated at standard and high Na+ diets. Isolated adrenal glands of Task3(-/-) produced 2-fold more aldosterone. As a consequence, Task3(-/-) mice showed salt-sensitive arterial hypertension (plus 10 mm Hg). In conclusion, Task3 plays an important role in the adaptation of aldosterone secretion to dietary salt intake. (Endocrinology 153: 4740-4748, 2012)
