The short-term protein-synthesis-independent stimulation of alanine transport in hepatocytes was further investigated. Cyclic AMP increased the Vmax. of alanine transport. Amino acid transport via systems A, ASC and N was stimulated. A good correlation was found between the initial rate of transport and the cell membrane potential as calculated from the distribution of Cl-. Cyclic AMP increased the rate of alanine transport, stimulated Na+/K+ ATPase (Na+/K+-transporting ATPase) activity and caused membrane hyperpolarization. The time courses and cyclic AMP dose-dependencies of all three effects were similar. Ouabain abolished the effect of cyclic AMP on Cl- distribution and on transport of alanine. The effect of cyclic AMP on alanine transport and Cl- distribution was mimicked by the antibiotic nigericin; the effect of nigericin was also abolished by ouabain. It is concluded that the effect of cyclic AMP on transport is mediated via membrane hyperpolarization. It is suggested that the primary action of cyclic AMP is to increase the activity of an electroneutral Na+/K+-exchange system in the liver cell plasma membrane, thus hyperpolarizing the membrane by stimulating the electrogenic Na+/K+ ATPase.
