In isosmotic conditions, insulin stimulation of PI 3-K/Akt and p38 MAPK pathways in skeletal muscle inhibits Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC) activity induced by the ERK1,2 MAPK pathway. Whether these signaling cascades contribute to NKCC regulation during osmotic challenge is unknown. Increasing osmolarity by 20 mosM with either glucose or mannitol induced NKCC-mediated 86Rb uptake and water transport into rat soleus and plantaris skeletal muscle in vitro. This NKCC activity restored intracellular water. In contrast to mannitol, hyperosmolar glucose increased ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Glucose, but not mannitol, impaired insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and p38 MAPK in the plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively. Hyperosmolarity-induced NKCC activation was insensitive to insulin action and pharmacological inhibition of ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK pathways. Paradoxically, cAMP-producing agents, which stimulate NKCC activity in isosmotic conditions, suppressed hyperosmolar glucose- and mannitol-induced NKCC activity and prevented restoration of muscle cell volume in hyperosmotic media. These results indicate that NKCC activity helps restore muscle cell volume during hyperglycemia. Moreover, hyperosmolarity activates NKCC regulatory pathways that are insensitive to insulin inhibition.
