This study investigated the role of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger (NHE) on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced activation of Na(+)-dependent Mg2+ transport in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY; n=20) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR; n=20). Intracellular free concentrations of Mg2+ ([Mg2+]i) and Na+ ([Na+]i) and intracellular pH (pHi) were measured with the specific fluorescent probes mag-fura 2-AM, SBFI-AM, and BCECF-AM, respectively. Na+ dependency of Mg2+ transport was assessed in Na(+)-free buffer, and the role of the NHE was determined with the highly selective NHE blocker 5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl) amiloride (MIA). Basal [Mg2+]i was lower in SHR than WKY (0.59+/-0.01 versus 0.71+/-0.01 mmol/L, P&lt;0.05). Basal pHi and [Na+]i were not different between the 2 groups. Ang II dose dependently increased [Na+]i and pHi and decreased [Mg2+]i. Responses were significantly greater (P&lt;0.05) in SHR versus WKY ([Na+]i E(max)=37.5+/-1.1 versus 33.7+/-1.9 mmol/L; pHi E(max)=7.35+/-0.04 versus 7.20+/-0.01; [Mg2+]i E(min)=0. 28+/-0.09 versus 0.53+/-0.02 mmol/L, SHR versus WKY). In Na(+)-free buffer, Ang II-elicited [Mg2+]i responses were inhibited. MIA (1 micromol/L) inhibited Ang II-stimulated responses in WKY and normalized responses in SHR ([Mg2+]i E(min)=0.49+/-0.02). Ang II-stimulated activation of NHE was significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) in SHR (0.07+/-0.002 DeltapH(i)/s) compared with WKY (0.05+/-0.004 DeltapH(i)/s). These data demonstrate that in VSMCs [Mg2+]i regulation is Na+ dependent, that activation of NHE modulates Na(+)-Mg2+ transport, and that increased activity of NHE may play a role in altered Na(+)-dependent regulation of [Mg2+]i in SHR.
