The basolateral membrane of the thick ascending loop of Henle (TALH) of the mammalian kidney is characterized by its high content of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and a Cl- conductance, which function in parallel in salt reabsorption. In order to reconstitute the Cl- channels, TALH membrane vesicles were solubilized in 1% sodium cholate in buffer containing 200 mM KCl, followed by dilution with soybean lipids (final ratio of protein/detergent/lipid of 1:3:15 in mg) and removal of the detergent by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. Cl- channel activity in the liposomes was determined by a 36Cl- uptake assay where the accumulation of the radioactive tracer against its chemical gradient is driven by the membrane potential (positive inside) generated by an outward Cl- gradient. The 36Cl- uptake by the KCl-loaded liposomes was dependent on the inclusion of membrane protein and was abolished by valinomycin, indicating the involvement of a conductive pathway. It was also inhibited by 36% by 100 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB). Solubilization of the Cl- channels in cholate was optimal in the presence of 200 mm KCl, but was found to decrease markedly at low ionic strength. SDS-PAGE analysis of the proteins extracted by cholate at high and low salt concentrations showed that the Cl- channel-containing high KCl extract was enriched in the 96 and 55 kDa alpha- and beta-subunits of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase (the major proteins in the membrane preparation) and several minor protein bands. Treatment of the membrane vesicles with the radioactive analogue of DIDS, [3H]2DIDS, labeled primarily a 65 and a 31 kDa protein. The solubilization of the 31 kDa protein by cholate depended markedly on the ionic strength and thus paralleled the solubilization pattern of Cl- channel activity. Furthermore, the labeling of the 31 kDa protein was prevented by nonradioactive DIDS and by NPPB but not by other compounds, indicating that it may be a Cl- channel component. 相似文献

Modulation of GABA-stimulated chloride influx into membrane vesicles from rat cerebral cortex by triazolobenzodiazepines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of triazolobenzodiazepines on GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake by membrane vesicles from rat cerebral cortex were examined. Triazolam and alprazolam showed a significant enhancement of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake at 0.01-10 microM. On the other hand, adinazolam showed a small enhancement at 0.1-1 microM followed by a significant inhibition of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake at 100 microM. The enhancement of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake by 1 microM alprazolam was antagonized by Ro15-1788, a benzodiazepine antagonist, but the inhibition of this response by 30 microM adinazolam was not antagonized by Ro15-1788. These results indicate that triazolobenzodiazepines enhanced GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake through benzodiazepine receptors. High concentrations of adinazolam inhibit GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake which may be due to the direct blockade of GABA-gated chloride channel. 相似文献

A large percentage (up to 70%) of 36Cl- influx in brush-border membrane vesicles from rat small intestine under equilibrium exchange conditions was found to be mediated by SITS-inhibitable anion exchange. This Cl-/anion exchange could be measured 10-15-times more sensitive by determining the uptake of trace amounts of 125I- driven by a large Cl- gradient (in greater than out) generated by passing the vesicles through an anion-exchange column. Voltage clamping of the vesicle membrane with K+ and valinomycin did not effect the chloride driven 125I- uptake, showing that the 'overshooting' I- uptake was not mediated by an electrical diffusion potential, as might be generated by the Cl- gradient in the presence of a chloride channel. The Cl-/anion exchange was further characterized in brush-border membrane vesicles from both rat ileum and jejunum by studying the inhibitory action of various anions on the Cl- driven I- uptake. NO3-, Cl-, SCN- and formate at 2 mM could inhibit Cl-/I- exchange for more than 80%. The ileal brush-border membrane vesicles displayed a clear heterogeneity with respect to the inhibitory action of SO2-(4), SITS and HCO-3 on Cl-/I- exchange. Approximately 30% of the Cl-/I- exchange was insensitive to SO2-(4) and showed a relatively low sensitivity to SITS (IC50 = 1 mM) but could be inhibited for 80% by 2 mM HCO-3. Presumably this component represents Cl-/OH- or Cl-/HCO-3 exchange. The residual 70% showed a high sensitivity to SO2-(4) (IC50 = 0.5 mM) and SITS (IC50 = 2.5 microM) but was less sensitive to HCO-3. This part of the exchange activity showed inhibition characteristics very similar to the Cl-/I- exchange in the jejunal vesicles. The latter process was also inhibited for 80% by 2 mM oxalate. As discussed in this paper both exchangers may be involved in the electroneutral transport of NaCl across the apical membrane of the small intestinal villus cell. 相似文献

NPPB (5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid) has been reported to block Cl- channels in isolated rabbit nephrons with high potency (IC50 = 80 nM). The effects of this compound on Cl(-)-mediated transport processes in intestinal tissues have been studied using agonist-stimulated short-circuit current (T84) in Ussing chamber experiments and 36Cl- fluxes in monolayers of a colonic cell line (T84). NPPB inhibited PGE1-stimulated Isc in rabbit distal colon and ileum at concentrations in the range 20 to 100 microM. However, NPPB at the same concentrations also inhibited glucose-stimulated Isc in rabbit ileum, suggesting that its effects were not restricted to those on Cl- transport. Consistent with this, exposure of rabbit distal colon to 100 microM NPPB was found to reduce endogenous ATP levels by 69%, implying that, at these concentrations, NPPB could impair active transport processes by an effect on cellular energy metabolism. Clear evidence for a direct effect of NPPB on epithelial chloride channels was found in studies on Cl- fluxes in T84 cell monolayers. NPPB inhibited VIP-stimulated Cl- uptake into T84 cells with an IC50 of 414 microM. NPPB (1 mM) also inhibited Cl- efflux from pre-loaded cells confirming its effect as a weak Cl- channel blocker in this system. 相似文献

Chloride channels are present in the majority of epithelial cells, where they mediate absorption or secretion of NaCl. Although the absorptive and secretory channels are well characterized in terms of their electrophysiological behavior, there is a lack of pharmacological ligands that can aid us in further functional and eventually molecular characterization. To obtain such ligands, we prepared membrane vesicles from bovine kidney cortex and apical membrane vesicles from trachea and found that they contain a chloride transport process that is electrically conductive. This conductance was reduced by preincubating the vesicles in media containing ATP or ATP-gamma-S, but not beta-methylene ATP, which suggests that the membranes contain a kinase that can close the channels. We then screened compounds derived from three classes: indanyloxyacetic acid (IAA), anthranilic acid (AA), and ethacrynic acid. We identified potent inhibitors from the IAA and the AA series. We tritiated IAA-94 and measured binding of this ligand to the kidney cortex membrane vesicles and found a high-affinity binding site whose dissociation constant (0.6 microM) was similar to the inhibition constant (1 microM). There was a good correlation between the inhibitory potency of several IAA derivatives and their efficacy in displacing [3H]IAA-94 from its binding site. Further, other chloride channel inhibitors, including AA derivatives, ethacrynic acid, bumetanide, and DIDS, also displaced the ligand from its binding site. A similar conductance was found in apical membrane vesicles from bovine trachea that was also inhibited by IAA-94 and AA-130B, but the inhibitory effects of these compounds were weaker than their effects on the renal cortex channel. The two drugs were also less potent in displacing [3H]IAA-94 from the tracheal binding site. 相似文献

The effect of benzodiazepines and beta-carbolines on GABA-stimulated chloride influx by membrane vesicles from the rat cerebral cortex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Benzodiazepine agonists such as diazepam, flunitrazepam and clonazepam enhanced GABA (30 microM)-stimulated 36Cl- uptake in membrane vesicles from the rat cerebral cortex. The rank order of potencies was flunitrazepam greater than diazepam = clonazepam. beta-Carboline-3-carboxylate esters beta-CCM, beta-CCE and DMCM inhibited GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake. The rank order of inhibitory potencies was DMCM greater than beta-CCM greater than beta-CCE. The benzodiazepine antagonist Ro15-1788 antagonized the enhancement of flunitrazepam and the inhibition of DMCM on GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake in a competitive inhibitory manner. These results suggest that benzodiazepine receptors regulate GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake and there is a functional coupling between the GABA and benzodiazepine receptors, and chloride channels in membrane vesicles from the rat cerebral cortex. 相似文献

When gastric microsomes were purified from resting and stimulated rabbit mucosae, they were found to be generally similar in (H+ + K+)-ATPase activity, peptide composition in single-dimension sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, and in size. In the stimulated vesicles, optimal proton transport activity was found at pH 7.4, 20-50 mM KCl, and 1 mM ATP-Mg. However, in the case of resting vesicles, the presence of valinomycin and an inward Cl-gradient was also necessary for Mg-ATP-dependent proton transport. Measurement of K+ and Cl-diffusion potentials using 3,3-dipropylthiadicarboxocyanine iodide as a potential sensitive dye showed that both resting and stimulated vesicles developed K+ gradient-dependent potentials in the presence of an impermeant anion, but that Cl- gradient-dependent potentials were observed only in the stimulated preparation. 86Rb+ self-exchange was found in both types of vesicles, but Cl- self-exchange was confined to vesicles derived from stimulated mucosae. Putative inhibitors of anion conductance such as furosemide and anthracene 9-carboxylic acid blocked proton transport, Cl- conductance, 36Cl- uptake, and Cl- exchange. The inhibition of proton transport was overcome by valinomycin. ATPase activity in the presence of nigericin, an H+:K+ exchanger, was unaffected by these inhibitors. K+ conductance, Rb+ uptake, and Rb+ exchange were insensitive to these inhibitors. Thus, activation of acid secretion by the stimulated parietal cell appears to involve at least the appearance of a discrete Cl- conductance in the pump-associated membrane. 相似文献

Despite the fact that Ca2+ transport into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of muscle cells is electrogenic, a potential difference is not maintained across the SR membrane. To achieve electroneutrality, compensatory charge movement must occur during Ca2+ uptake. To examine the role of Cl- in this charge movement in smooth muscle cells, Ca2+ transport into the SR of saponin-permeabilized smooth muscle cells was measured in the presence of various Cl- channel blockers or when I-, Br-, or SO42- was substituted for Cl-. Calcium uptake was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) and by indanyloxyacetic acid 94 (R(+)-IAA-94), but not by niflumic acid or 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DNDS). Smooth muscle SR Ca2+ uptake was also partially inhibited by the substitution of SO42- for Cl-, but not when Cl- was replaced by I- or Br-. Neither NPPB nor R(+)-IAA-94 inhibited Ca2+ uptake into cardiac muscle SR vesicles at concentrations that maximally inhibited uptake in smooth muscle cells. These results indicate that Cl- movement is important for charge compensation in smooth muscle cells and that the Cl- channel or channels involved are different in smooth and cardiac muscle cells. 相似文献

Crosslinking of type I Fc epsilon receptors (Fc epsilon RI) on the surface of basophils or mast cells initiates a cascade of processes leading to the secretion of inflammatory mediators. We report here a correlation between mediator secretion and the activation of Cl- channels in rat mucosal-type mast cells (line RBL-2H3). Stimulation of RBL cells by either IgE and antigen or by a monoclonal antibody specific for the Fc epsilon RI, resulted in the activation of Cl- ion channels as detected by the patch-clamp technique. Channel activation occurred slowly, within minutes after stimulation. The channel has a slope conductance of 32 pS at potentials between 0 and -100 mV, and an increasing open-state probability with increasing depolarization. Activation of apparently the same Cl- channels could be mimicked without stimulation by isolating inside-out membrane patches in tyrode solution. Parallel inhibition of both Cl- channel activity and mediator secretion, as monitored by serotonin release, was observed by two compounds, the Cl- channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) and the anti-allergic drug cromolyn. NPPB inhibited both the antigen-induced Cl- current and the serotonin release, where half-maximal inhibition occurred at similar doses, at 52 microM and 77 microM, respectively. The drug cromolyn, recently found to inhibit immunologically induced mediator secretion from RBL cells upon intracellular application, also blocks Cl- channels (IC50 = 15 microM) when applied to the cytoplasmic side of an inside-out membrane patch. The observed Cl- channel activation upon immunological stimulation and the parallel inhibition of channel current and of serotonin release suggests a functional role for this Cl- channel in mediator secretion from the mast cells studied. 相似文献

ATP-dependent Cl- uptake by membrane vesicles from the rat brain plasma membrane fractions was not affected by the addition of 40 mM of K+, Na+ or HCO3- to the assay medium. Na+ and K+ did not alter the uptake even in the presence of a K+ ionophore, valinomycin (10 microM), or a H+/K+ exchanger, nigericin (10 microM), whereas in the presence of both of these ionophores, K+, but not Na+, reduced the Cl- uptake. Inhibitors of proton pump activity, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (1 mM) and 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)amiloride (40 microM), however, did not affect the Cl- uptake. These findings suggest the presence of a primary Cl- transport system probably associated with passive H+ flux in the brain plasma membranes. 相似文献

1. In assays of 36Cl- uptake into mouse brain vesicles, 100 microM GABA markedly increased both the initial rate of 36Cl- uptake and the total amount of chloride taken up over a 120-sec incubation period. Specific GABA-dependent 36Cl- uptake (the difference between total and background uptake) was essentially complete within 15 sec of incubation. 2. Incubation with GABA following preincubation with 10 microM endrin, a polychlorocycloalkane insecticide and established blocker of GABA-gated chloride channels, showed a stimulation of uptake over background levels that was much slower in onset than that observed with GABA alone but nevertheless achieved virtually the same level of stimulation above background levels after 90 sec of incubation with GABA. 3. In electrophysiological assays of GABA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes following injection with rat brain mRNA, endrin (20 microM) effectively blocked the transient currents elicited by brief exposure of oocytes to GABA (200 microM). However, prolonged exposure to GABA in the absence of perfusion produced a large, slowly-developing inward current. 4. The actions of several known GABA antagonists were also compared as inhibitors of GABA-dependent 36Cl- uptake into mouse brain vesicles at short (4 sec) and long (120 sec) incubation times using concentrations of inhibitors known to produce approximately 70-90% inhibition of GABA-dependent chloride uptake in 4-sec incubations. Picrotoxinin and TBPS, like endrin, were completely ineffective as inhibitors in 120-sec incubations. In contrast, bicuculline was almost as effective at 120 sec as at 4 sec, and avermectin Bla produced approximately 50% inhibition of the GABA response after 120 sec.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Relative efficacies of 1,4-diazepines on GABA-stimulated chloride influx in rat brain vesicles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of 1,4-diazepines with two annelated heterocycles [brotizolam (WE 941), ciclotizolam (WE 973) and WE 1008] on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-stimulated chloride influx into rat brain membrane vesicles were examined. Brotizolam enhanced GABA (30 microM)-stimulated 36Cl- influx (146.1% of control), while ciclotizolam and WE 1008 showed only a small enhancement (119.3% and 119.1%, respectively) of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake. Brotizolam resulted in a left shift of the GABA dose response curve at lower concentrations of GABA (10 microM), while at higher concentrations of GABA (1 mM), brotizolam caused a reduction of the maximal response. The enhancement of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake by brotizolam (0.1 microM) was antagonized by Ro 15-1788. At higher concentration of GABA (300 microM), brotizolam inhibited GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake in a dose dependent manner and Ro15-1788 failed to antagonize this effect. These results suggest that 1) brotizolam produces an enhancement of GABA (30 microM)-stimulated chloride influx through the benzodiazepine receptor. 2) brotizolam inhibition of GABA (300 microM)-stimulated chloride influx involves an additional mechanism, and 3) the sedative-hypnotic action of brotizolam may be related to its high efficacy at the benzodiazepine/GABA-gated chloride channel. 相似文献

By applying a rapid filtration technique to isolated brush border membrane vesicles from guinea pig ileum, 36Cl uptake was quantified in the presence and absence of electrical, pH and alkali-metal ion gradients. A mixture of 20 mM-Hepes and 40 mM-citric acid, adjusted to the desired pH with Tris base, was found to be the most suitable buffer. Malate and Mes could be used to replace the citrate, but succinate, acetate and maleate proved to be unsuitable. In the absence of a pH gradient (pHout:pHin = 7.5:7.5), Cl- uptake increased slightly when an inside-positive membrane potential was applied, but uphill transport was never observed. A pH gradient (pHout:pHin = 5.0:7.5) induced both a 400% increase in the initial Cl- influx rate and a long-lasting (20 to 300 s) overshoot, indicating that a proton gradient can furnish the driving force for uphill Cl- transport. Under pH gradient conditions, initial Cl- entry rates had the following characteristics. (1) They were unaffected by cis-Na+ and/or -K+, indicating the absence of Cl-/K+, Cl-/Na+ or Cl-/K+/Na+ symport activity. (2) Inhibition by 20-100 mM-trans-Na+ and/or -K+ occurred, independent of the existence of an ion gradient. (3) Cl- entry was practically unaffected by short-circuiting the membrane potential with equilibrated potassium and valinomycin. (4) Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone was strongly inhibitory and so, to a lesser extent, was 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid [(SITS)], independent of the sign and size of the membrane potential. (5) Cl- entry was negligibly increased (less than 30%) by either trans-Cl- or -HCO3-, indicating the absence of an obligatory Cl-/anion antiport activity. In contrast, the height of the overshoot at 60 s was increased by trans-Cl-, indicating time-dependent inhibition of 36Cl efflux. That competitive inhibition of 36Cl fluxes by anions is involved here is supported by initial influx rate experiments demonstrating: (1) the saturability of Cl- influx, which was found to exhibit Michaelis-Menten kinetics; and (2) competitive inhibition of influx by cis-Cl- and -Br-. Quantitatively, the conclusion is warranted that over 85% of the total initial Cl- uptake energized by a pH gradient involves an electroneutral Cl-/H+ symporter or its physicochemical equivalent, a Cl-/OH- antiporter, exhibiting little Cl- uniport and either Cl-/Cl- or Cl-/HCO3- antiport activities.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Secretion of chloride ions via apically located anion-selective channels in epithelia regulates fluid formation and cytosolic Cl- homeostasis. In order to understand the biochemical basis of Cl- channel function, we attempted to isolate this transporter from bovine tracheal apical membranes. Initially, peripheral polypeptides were removed from apically enriched vesicles by washing with alkaline buffer (pH 10.8) containing 2 mM CHAPS. The resulting pellet contained 50-60% of the original protein and displayed 2-fold enhanced Cl- channel activity compared to untreated vesicles. The pellet was treated with Triton X-100, and the solubilized proteins were separated on the cationic exchanger CM-cellufine. Washing the resin with a pH 8.0-8.3 buffer eluted a fraction with enriched Cl- channel activity. This fraction contained less than 5% of the total solubilized protein. A subsequent separation was performed using the anionic exchanger AM-cellufine. The highest activity was found in the fractions eluted by 80-120 mM KCl. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed a major 38,000-Da protein band. This band was electroeluted from the gel under nondenaturing and nonreducing conditions and reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine liposomes. KCl-loaded vesicles containing the purified 38-kDa protein transported up to 5 nmol of 125I-/mg of protein/5 min. This value was 15-fold higher than the uptake measured in vesicles reconstituted with total solubilized membrane proteins and 4-fold higher compared to the CM-cellufine-enriched fraction. The observed 125I- uptake was 90% inhibited by 100 microM 4,4-bis(isothiocyano)-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate or 10 microM valinomycin. In summary, we have developed a biochemical protocol for the isolation of a 38 kDa protein mediating potential-dependent and 4,4-bis(isothiocyano)-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate-sensitive Cl- channel activity. 相似文献

Uptake of Cl- by plasma membrane vesicles from the rat brain was stimulated by ATP at 37 degrees C, but not by beta, gamma-methylene ATP or at 0 degrees C. The addition of Triton X-100 or sucrose to the incubation medium diminished the ATP-stimulated Cl- uptake, suggesting that Cl- was transported across the membranes into the intravesicular space. This ATP-stimulated Cl- uptake was not affected by 1 mM ouabain. 1 microM oligomycin, 0.1 mM gamma-aminobutyric acid or 0.1 mM picrotoxin. Thus, non-mitochondrial ATP-driven Cl- transport through a system other than Na, K-ATPase or Cl- channels occurs in neuronal plasma membrane vesicles. 相似文献

Membrane transport pathways for transplacental transfer of CO2/HCO3 were investigated by assessing the possible presence of a Cl/HCO3 exchange mechanism in the maternal-facing membrane of human placental epithelial cells. Cl/HCO3 exchange was tested for in preparations of purified brush border membrane vesicles by 36Cl tracer flux measurements and determinations of acridine orange fluorescence changes. Under 10% CO2/90% N2 the imposition of an outwardly directed HCO3- concentration gradient (pHo 6/pHi 7.5) stimulated Cl- uptake to levels approximately 2-fold greater than observed at equilibrium. Maneuvers designed to offset the development of ion gradient-induced diffusion potentials (valinomycin, Ko = Ki) significantly reduced HCO3- gradient-driven Cl- uptake but concentrative accumulation of Cl- persisted. Early time point determinations performed in the presumed absence of membrane potential suggests the reduced level of HCO3- gradient-driven Cl- uptake resulted from a more rapid dissipation of the HCO3- concentration gradient. Concentrative accumulation of Cl- was not observed in the presence of a pH gradient alone under 100% N2, suggesting a preference of HCO3- over OH- as a substrate for transport. As monitored by acridine orange fluorescence the Cl- gradient-dependent collapse of an imposed pH gradient (pHo 8.5/pHi 6) was accelerated in the presence of CO2/HCO3 when compared with its absence, indicating coupling of HCO3- influx to Cl- efflux. Increasing concentrations of the anion exchange inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid were observed to cause a stepwise reduction in HCO3- gradient-driven Cl- uptake (I50 approximately 25 microM) further suggesting the presence of a Cl/HCO3 exchange mechanism. The results of this study provide evidence for a 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid-sensitive Cl/HCO3 exchange mechanism in the maternal-facing membrane of human placental epithelial cells. The identification of an ion-coupled HCO3- transport pathway in placental epithelia may suggest functional roles in mediating transplacental transfer of CO2 as well as maintenance of fetal acid/base balance. 相似文献

Sulfate transport by rat liver lysosomes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Sulfate transport was examined using membrane vesicles (pH 7.0 inside) prepared from rat liver lysosomes. Sulfate uptake was dependent upon external pH with increased uptake at lower buffer pH. The Km for uptake was 160 microM at pH 5.0 while at pH 7.0, a lower affinity system with a Km of 1.4 mM was present. The protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone increased uptake at pH 5.0 while valinomycin/KCl had no effect. In contrast, at pH 7.0, valinomycin-induced changes in membrane potential stimulated uptake. Countertransport of sulfate at pH 7.0 was inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene, N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, and a variety of anions: SO4(2-) greater than MoO4(2-) greater than Cl- greater than HPO4- greater than HCO3-. Trans-stimulation of sulfate uptake at pH 7.0 was observed with MoO4(2-) and, to a lesser extent, with S2O3(2-) while Cl-, HPO4-, and HCO3- had little effect. However, chloride loading of vesicles resulted in marked stimulation of sulfate uptake at pH 5.0. It appears that sulfate and protons exit lysosomes in exchange for chloride by a specific, pH-regulated anion transport system. 相似文献

Chloride (Cl-) efflux induces depolarization and contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells. In the basilar arteries from the New Zealand white rabbits, the role of Cl- flux in serotonin-induced contraction was demonstrated by (i) inhibition of Na+-K+-2Cl- co-transporter (NKCC1) to decreased Cl- influx with bumetanide; (ii) a disabled Cl-/HCO3- exchanger with bicarbonate free HEPES solution; (iii) blockade of Cl- channels using 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) and indanyloxyacetic acid 94, R-(+)-methylindazone (R-(+)-IAA-94); and (iv) substitution of extracellular Cl- with methanesulfonate acid (113 mmol/L; Cl-, 10 mmol/L). In addition, the expression of NKCC1 in brain tissues after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia was examined at mRNA and protein levels using RT-PCR and Western blotting techniques. NKCC1 mRNA and protein expressions were increased at 24 and 48 h and returned to normal levels at 72 h after hypoxia insult when compared with the control littermates. In conclusion, Cl- efflux regulates cerebral circulation and the up-regulation of NKCC1 after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia may contribute to brain injury. 相似文献

To investigate the inhibitory effect of trans potassium on the Cl-/H+ symporter activity of brush-border membrane vesicles from guinea pig ileum, we measured both 36Cl uptake and, by the pyranine fluorescence method, proton fluxes, in the presence of appropriate H+ and K+ gradients. In the absence of valinomycin, a time-dependent inhibitory effect of chloride uptake by trans K+ was demonstrated. This inhibition was independent of the presence or absence of any K+ gradient. Electrical effects cannot be involved to explain these inhibitions because the intrinsic permeability of these vesicles to Cl- and K+ is negligibly small. Rather, our results show that, in the absence of valinomycin, the inhibitory effect of intravesicular K+ involves an acceleration of the rate of dissipation of the proton gradient through an electroneutral exchange of trans K+ for cis H+, catalyzed by the K+/H+ antiporter also present in these membranes. Valinomycin can further accelerate the rate of pH gradient dissipation by facilitating an electrically-coupled exchange between K+ and H+. To evaluate the apparent rate of pH-dissipating, downhill proton influx, we measured chloride uptake by vesicles preincubated in the presence of alkaline-inside pH gradients (pHout/pHin = 5.0/7.5), charged or not with K+. In the absence of intravesicular K+, proton influx exhibited monoexponential kinetics with a time constant k = 11 s-1. Presence of 100 mM K+ within the vesicles significantly increased the rate of pH gradient dissipation which, furthermore, became bi-exponential and revealed the appearance of an additional, faster proton influx component with k = 71 s-1. This new component we interpret as representing the sum of the electroneutral and the electrically-coupled exchange of trans K+ for cis H+, mentioned above. Finally, by using the pH-sensitive fluorophore, pyranine, we demonstrate that, independent of the absence or presence of a pH gradient, either vesicle acidification or alkalinisation can be generated by adding, respectively, Cl- or K+ to the extravesicular medium. Such results confirm the independent existence of both Cl-/H+ symporter and K+/H+ antiporter activities in our vesicle preparations, the relative activity of the former being larger under the conditions of the present experiments. The possible interplay of these two proton-transfer mechanisms in the regulation of the intracellular pH is discussed. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate Cl- transport across rat ileal basolateral membranes. Basolateral membrane vesicles were prepared by a well-validated technique. The purity of the basolateral membrane vesicles was verified by marker enzyme studies and by studies of d-glucose and calcium uptake. Cl- uptake was studied by a rapid filtration technique. Neither an outwardly directed pH gradient, nor a HCO3- gradient, or their combination could elicit any stimulation of Cl- transport when compared with no gradient. 4,4-Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid at 5 mM concentration did not inhibit Cl- uptake under gradient condition. Similarly, the presence of the combination of outwardly directed Na+ and HCO3- gradients did not stimulate Cl- uptake compared with the combination of K+ and HCO3- gradients or no HCO3- gradient. This is in contrast to our results in the brush border membranes, where an outwardly directed pH gradient caused an increase in Cl- uptake. Cl- uptake was stimulated in the presence of combined Na+ and K+ gradient. Bumetanide at 0.1 mM concentration inhibited the initial rate of Cl- uptake in the presence of combined Na+ and K+ gradients. Kinetic studies of bumetanide-sensitive Cl- uptake showed a Vmax of 5.6 +/- 0.7 nmol/mg protein/5 sec and a Km of 30 +/- 8.7 mM. Cl- uptake was stimulated by an inside positive membrane potential induced by the ionophore valinomycin in the setting of inwardly directed K+ gradient compared with voltage clamp condition. These studies demonstrate two processes for Cl- transport across the rat ileal basolateral membrane: one is driven by an electrogenic diffusive process and the second is a bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/2 Cl- process. Cl- uptake is not enhanced by pH gradient, HCO3- gradient, their combination, or outwardly directed HCO3- and Na+ gradients. 相似文献
