Using voltage-clamp technique, the possible role of the cytoskeleton in the effect of pharmacological analogue of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), drug glutoxim, on Na+ transport in the frog Rana temporaria skin was investigated. It was shown for the first time that preincubation of the skin with the microtubular disrupter nocodazole, actin filament disrupter cytochalasin D or protein phosphatase PP1/PP2A inhibitor calyculin A, significantly decrease the stimulatory effect of glutoxim on Na+ transport. The data suggest the involvement of microtubules and microfilaments in the regulatory effect of glutoxim on Na+ transport in frog skin and that reorganization of actin filaments or microtubules leads to inhibition of stimulatory effect of glutoxim on Na+ transport in frog skin epithelia.
