Intracellular Mg”+ plays an important role in cell
physiology. Studies were performed on MDCK cells and primary
cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) cells to determine
hormonal influences on intracellular Mg2+ control. Free Mg2+
( [Mg2+]i) was measured by fluorescence with mag-fura-2. Addition
of 8bromoguanosine 3’,5’-cyclic monophosphate @-BrcGMP,
10e4 M) to subconfluent MDCK cells resulted in rapid
increases in [Mg2+]i from basal levels of 552 it 6 PM to peak
concentrations of 682 t 5 PM, whereas 8BrcAMP (10v4 M) led
to significant decreases in [Mg2+]i from 538 of 5 to 362 t 17 PM.
These effects of cyclic nucleotides were dose dependent with
half-maximal concentrations (EC,,) of – 10e5 M for both increments
in [Mg2+]i with cGMP and decrements in [Mg”+]i with
CAMP. Atria1 natriuretic peptide (ANP) and cGMP increased
Mg2+ in porcine primary CTAL cells from 525 t 12 to 592 & 18
PM and from 538 & 8 to 609 t 18 PM, respectively. The increment
in [Mg2+]i with ANP was dose responsive with EC&
values of – lo-l1 M suggesting that these effects may be of
physiological importance. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin
and their second messenger, CAMP, diminished Mg2+ by -80
PM. The EC& value for calcitonin was in the order of 10mg M.
The changes in [Mg2+]i, whether increases with ANP or cGMP
and decreases with PTH, calcitonin, or CAMP, were rapid in
nature and independent of changes in intracellular free Ca2+
concentration. These data indicate that [Mg”+]i is influenced by
peptide hormones and their second messengers likely through
activation of appropriate protein kinases. The functional role of
these changes remains to be determined.

Abstract Cyclic nucleotides alter intracellular free Mg2+ in renal epithelial cells. Am. J. Physiol. 262 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 31): FllOOF1104,1992.- Intracellular Mg”+ plays an important role in cell physiology. Studies were performed on MDCK cells and primary cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) cells to determine hormonal influences on intracellular Mg2+ control. Free Mg2+ ( [Mg2+]i) was measured by fluorescence with mag-fura-2. Addition of 8bromoguanosine 3’,5’-cyclic monophosphate @-BrcGMP, 10e4 M) to subconfluent MDCK cells resulted in rapid increases in [Mg2+]i from basal levels of 552 it 6 PM to peak concentrations of 682 t 5 PM, whereas 8BrcAMP (10v4 M) led to significant decreases in [Mg2+]i from 538 of 5 to 362 t 17 PM. These effects of cyclic nucleotides were dose dependent with half-maximal concentrations (EC,,) of – 10e5 M for both increments in [Mg2+]i with cGMP and decrements in [Mg”+]i with CAMP. Atria1 natriuretic peptide (ANP) and cGMP increased Mg2+ in porcine primary CTAL cells from 525 t 12 to 592 & 18 PM and from 538 & 8 to 609 t 18 PM, respectively.
