    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background/Aims: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The WNK-dependent STE20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase SPAK participates in the regulation of NaCl and Na 〈 sup 〉 + 〈 /sup 〉 ,K 〈 sup 〉 + 〈 /sup 〉 ,2Cl 〈 sup 〉 - 〈 /sup 〉 cotransport and thus renal salt excretion. The present study explored whether SPAK has similarly the potential to regulate the epithelial Na 〈 sup 〉 + 〈 /sup 〉 channel (ENaC). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 ENaC was expressed in 〈 i 〉 Xenopus 〈 /i 〉 oocytes with or without additional expression of wild type SPAK, constitutively active 〈 sup 〉 T233E 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK, WNK insensitive 〈 sup 〉 T233A 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK or catalytically inactive 〈 sup 〉 D212A 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK, and ENaC activity estimated from amiloride (50 µM) sensitive current (I 〈 sub 〉 amil 〈 /sub 〉 ) in dual electrode voltage clamp experiments. Moreover, Ussing chamber was employed to determine I 〈 sub 〉 amil 〈 /sub 〉 in colonic tissue from wild type mice ( 〈 i 〉 spak 〈 /i 〉 〈 sup 〉 〈 i 〉 wt/wt 〈 /i 〉 〈 /sup 〉 ) and from gene targeted mice carrying WNK insensitive SPAK ( 〈 i 〉 spak 〈 /i 〉 〈 sup 〉 〈 i 〉 tg/tg 〈 /i 〉 〈 /sup 〉 ). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 I 〈 sub 〉 amil 〈 /sub 〉 was observed in ENaC-expressing oocytes, but not in water-injected oocytes. In ENaC expressing oocytes I 〈 sub 〉 amil 〈 /sub 〉 was significantly increased following coexpression of wild-type SPAK and 〈 sup 〉 T233E 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK, but not following coexpression of 〈 sup 〉 T233A 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK or 〈 sup 〉 D212A 〈 /sup 〉 SPAK. Colonic I 〈 sub 〉 amil 〈 /sub 〉 was significantly higher in 〈 i 〉 spak 〈 /i 〉 〈 sup 〉 〈 i 〉 wt/wt 〈 /i 〉 〈 /sup 〉 than in 〈 i 〉 spak 〈 /i 〉 〈 sup 〉 〈 i 〉 tg/tg 〈 /i 〉 〈 /sup 〉 mice. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 SPAK has the potential to up-regulate ENaC.
