Abstract
Salbutamol activates NCC, the NaCl co-transporter of the distal convoluted tubule.
Salbutamol, in conjunction with high salt intake, induced hypertension in mice, rescued by thiazide therapy. Phospho-proteomics identified Protein Phosphatase 1/Inhibitor 1 as a distinct regulatory node for NCC activation by salbutamol, which did not activate the transporter in Inhibitor 1 knockout mice. Salbutamol is widely used in respiratory medicine and the acquisition of salt-sensitivity may be relevant to understanding cardiovascular risk in certain patients.
