In the present study, we investigated the role of intracellular Ca++ in the stimulation of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport in synchronized BALB/c 3T3 cells. The Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport was stimulated by the growth factors EGF, TGF-alpha, IGF-1, and IGF-2, which do not activate protein kinase C, but do induce a transient increase in free cytoplasmic Ca++. In addition, direct activation of protein kinase C by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) did not affect the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport activity of quiescent cells. The Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport was also stimulated by the above mitogens in cells pretreated with the phorbol ester TPA. This treatment led to a progressive decline in the activity of cellular protein kinase C. This result implies that cells deficient in protein kinase C may still support stimulation of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport. Taken as a whole, these findings suggest that the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport is stimulated predominantly by a protein kinase C-independent mechanism in BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts. Both the intracellular Ca++ antagonist 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8) and two potent calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperazine (TFP) and chloropromazine (CP), blocked serum- and mitogen-stimulated Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport. These results suggest that the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport is stimulated by an increase of intracellular Ca++ and subsequently by a Ca(++)-calmodulin-mediated pathway in the synchronized BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts.  相似文献

The identity of the genetic defect(s) in Swiss 3T3 TNR-2 and TNR-9 that confers nonresponsiveness to the proliferative effect of 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is not known. In BALB/c 3T3 cells, loss (via mutation) of a specific membrane ion transport system, the furosemide-sensitive Na+K+Cl- cotransporter, is associated with decreased responsiveness to TPA. In this study, the transport properties of parental Swiss 3T3 cells and the TPA-nonresponsive lines TNR-2 and TNR-9 were determined in the presence and absence of TPA. When the rate of 86Rb+ efflux (as a tracer for K+) was measured from each of the three cell lines, a furosemide- and TPA-inhibitable component of efflux was clearly evident in parental and TNR-9 cells but was virtually absent in TNR-2 cells. 86Rb+ influx measurements indicated the presence in parental 3T3 cells and the TNR-9 line of a substantial furosemide-sensitive flux that could be inhibited by TPA. In contrast, much less furosemide-sensitive influx was present in 3T3-TNR-2 cells and it was relatively unaffected by TPA. In both parental 3T3 and 3T3-TNR-2 cells, most of the furosemide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx is dependent on extracellular Na+ and Cl-. The apparent affinities of the transporter for these two ions, as well as for K+, were similar in both cell lines. In parental cells, the inhibition of furosemide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx was quite sensitive to TPA (K1/2 approximately equal to 1 nM) and occurred very rapidly after phorbol ester exposure. As expected because of its volume-regulatory role, inhibition of Na+K+Cl- cotransport by TPA in parental cells caused a substantial reduction in cell volume (25%). In contrast, because of the reduced level of cotransport activity in TNR-2 cells, TPA had only a slight effect on cell volume. These results suggest that the genetic defect in 3T3-TNR-2 cells (but not TNR-9 cells) responsible for nonresponsiveness to phorbol esters may be the reduction of Na+K+Cl- cotransport activity. Thus this membrane transport system may be an important component of the signal transduction pathway used by phorbol esters in 3T3 cells.  相似文献

A BALB/c 3T3 preadipose cell line defective in Na+K+Cl- cotransport (3T3-E12a cells) has been used to study the relationship between phorbol ester-induced rapid changes in cation fluxes and changes in expression of a gene known to be modulated by this agent. In contrast to its effect on parental 3T3 cells, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) did not inhibit either furosemide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx or the rate of 86Rb+ efflux from preloaded mutant cells. TPA-induced changes in intracellular K+ content were diminished in 3T3-E12a cells as compared with parental cells. Thus, mutation of the Na+K+Cl- cotransport system renders overall potassium transport in mutant cells largely insensitive to modulation by TPA. The morphological and functional responses of 3T3 and 3T3-E12a cells to TPA were also compared. In contrast to the extensive and long-lasting changes in morphology of 3T3 cells after 0.16 microM TPA addition, only slight and shorter-lived morphological effects of TPA were observed in 3T3-E12a cells. The transport properties of mutant cells were not totally unresponsive to TPA since hexose transport (2-deoxyglucose uptake) could be stimulated in both cell types. To establish a possible link between early changes in cation fluxes and activation of gene expression by TPA, the induction of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was studied in detail. Addition of fresh medium containing serum or exposure to hypoosmotic conditions resulted in the induction of ODC in both 3T3 and 3T3-E12a cells. However, TPA failed to cause an increase in ODC activity in mutant cells, although a substantial induction of the enzyme was seen in parental cells. These results suggest that rapid changes in ion fluxes mediated by the Na+K+Cl- cotransport system are necessary for at least one of the phorbol ester-induced changes in gene expression in responsive cells.  相似文献

This study demonstrates that polyamine spermidine (Spd) transporter protein is directly coupled with the Na+ in a ternary complex form, Na(+)-Spd-carrier. The Spd is transported with Na+ in a 1:1 stoichiometry relationship. Interestingly, addition of 2-deoxyglucose in the assay medium did not influence significantly the Spd uptake demonstrating the ATP independency of Spd transport.  相似文献

The ability of the phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to stimulate the growth of quiescent BALB/c 3T3 cell lines lacking Na+K+Cl- cotransport activity was tested. We have previously isolated and characterized two mutant cell lines defective in this important ion transport system by mutagenesis and selection in medium containing low K+. To test our hypothesis that loss of this transport activity might abrogate the proliferative response to TPA, two kinds of mitogenesis assays were performed. First, the effect of 0.16 microM TPA on the saturation density of parental vs. mutant cell lines was determined. TPA caused a small but reproducible 30-35% increase in the saturation density of mutant cells compared to the 100-120% increase seen in parental cell lines. Second, the effect of TPA on the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into cell nuclei (labeling index) was measured. While some variability from experiment to experiment in the extent and time course of the response of mutant cells was noted, TPA either had no effect or only a small effect on the labeling index when compared to the response of parental cells. When a range of concentrations of TPA (0.016-1.6 microM) was tested, neither cell line exhibited a large response to any concentration. These results suggest that loss of Na+K+Cl- cotransport activity decreases the response of these cells to the mitogenic action of TPA.  相似文献

Mercury alters thefunction of proteins by reacting with cysteinyl sulfhydryl(SH) groups. Theinorganic form (Hg2+) is toxicto epithelial tissues and interacts with various transport proteinsincluding the Na+ pump andCl channels. In this study,we determined whether theNa+-K+-Clcotransporter type 1 (NKCC1), a major ion pathway in secretory tissues,is also affected by mercurial substrates. To characterize theinteraction, we measured the effect ofHg2+ on ion transport by thesecretory shark and human cotransporters expressed in HEK-293 cells.Our studies show that Hg2+inhibitsNa+-K+-Clcotransport, with inhibitor constant(Ki) values of25 µM for the shark carrier (sNKCC1) and 43 µM for thehuman carrier. In further studies, we took advantage of speciesdifferences in Hg2+ affinity toidentify residues involved in the interaction. An analysis ofhuman-shark chimeras and of an sNKCC1 mutant(Cys-697Leu) reveals that transmembrane domain 11 plays an essential role in Hg2+binding. We also show that modification of additionalSH groups by thiol-reactingcompounds brings about inhibition and that the binding sites are notexposed on the extracellular face of the membrane.

In this study we examined the effect of the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/Cl- transporter in quiescent BALB/c 3T3 cells. We have shown that exposure of quiescent BALB/c 3T3 cultures to phorbol ester did not inhibit the basal bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx or efflux. In fact, at high concentration (100 ng/ml), TPA slightly stimulated the bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx and efflux. However, when the quiescent cultures were stimulated by serum or by defined growth factors, the stimulated fraction of the bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx was drastically inhibited by exposure of the cells to the phorbol ester TPA. Based on the above findings, we propose that activation of protein kinase C by the phorbol ester TPA does not inhibit the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport activity; however it does suppress only the growth-factors-stimulated fraction of the cotransport in quiescent BALB/c 3T3 cells. These data propose that activation of kinase C has a regulatory feedback effect on the stimulation of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport activity by growth factors.  相似文献

Two receptor sites for [3H]piretanide, a sulfamoylbenzoic acid loop diuretic, have been identified in intact Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, an epithelial cell line derived from dog kidney. The two receptor sites differed in their affinity for piretanide (KD1 = 2.1 +/- 1.4 nM and KD2 = 264 +/- 88 nM) and the maximal number of sites (Bmax1 = 11 +/- 4 and Bmax2 = 120 +/- 80 fmol/mg of protein). Madin-Darby canine kidney cells are known to possess a tightly coupled and highly cooperative Na+,K+,Cl- cotransporter which is sensitive to loop diuretics. Under ionic conditions identical to those used to study piretanide binding (30 mM Na+, 30 mM K+, 30 mM Cl-), the Ki for inhibition of the initial rate of 86Rb+ uptake by piretanide was 333 +/- 92 nM, a value not significantly different from the KD of the low affinity receptor site. [3H]Piretanide binding to three low K+-resistant mutants derived from this cell line was also studied. These mutants had been previously characterized as being partially or completely defective in Na+,K+,Cl- cotransport activity (McRoberts, J. A., Tran, C. T., and Saier, M. H., Jr. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 12320-12326). One of these mutants had undetectable levels of Na+,K+,Cl- cotransport activity and low to undetectable levels of specific piretanide binding. The second mutant had low but measurable levels of cotransport activity (11% of the wild-type levels) and displayed very low affinity (KD approximately 8000 nM) specific piretanide binding. In the third mutant, expression of Na+,K+,Cl- cotransport activity and both piretanide receptors was cell density-dependent. Subconfluent to just-confluent cultures of this mutant lacked detectable cotransport activity as well as specific piretanide binding, whereas very dense cultures displayed both piretanide receptors and had intermediate to nearly normal levels of cotransport activity. These results demonstrate that the Na+,K+,Cl- cotransporter is a receptor for loop diuretics, but they also raise questions about the functional significance of the two piretanide receptor sites.  相似文献

A Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport pathway has been examined in the HT29 human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line using 86Rb as the K congener. Ouabain-resistant bumetanide-sensitive (OR-BS) K+ influx in attached HT29 cells was 17.9 +/- 0.9 nmol/min per mg protein at 25 degrees C. The identity of this pathway as a Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter has been deduced from the following findings: (a) OR-BS K+ influx ceased if the external Cl- (Cl-o) was replaced by NO3- or the external Na+ (Na+o) by choline; (b) neither OR-BS 24Na+ nor 36Cl- influx was detectable in the absence of external K+ (K+o); and (c) concomitant measurements of 86Rb+, 22Na+, and 36Cl- influx indicated that the stoichiometry of the cotransport system approached a ratio of 1N+:1K+:2Cl-. In addition, OR-BS K+ influx was exquisitely sensitive to cellular ATP levels. Depletion of the normal ATP content of 35-40 nmol/mg protein to 10-15 nmol/mg protein, a concentration at which the ouabain-sensitive K+ influx was unaffected, completely abolished K+ cotransport. OR-BS K+ influx was slightly reduced by the divalent cations Ca2+, Ba2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+. Although changes in cell volume, whether shrinking or swelling, did not influence OR-BS K+ influx, ouabain-sensitive K+ influx was activated by cell swelling. As in T84 cells, we found that the OR-BS K+ influx in HT29 cells was stimulated by exogenous cyclic AMP analogues and by augmented cyclic AMP content in response to vasoactive intestinal peptide, forskolin, norepinephrine and forskolin or prostaglandin E1.  相似文献

Cells resuspended in hypotonic medium initially swell as nearly perfect osmometers, but later recover their volume with an associated KCl loss. This regulatory volume decrease (RVD) is unaffected when nitrate is substituted for Cl- or if bumetanide or 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS) is added. It is inhibited by quinine, Ba2+, low pH, anticalmodulin drugs, and depletion of intracellular Ca2+. It is accelerated by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187, or by a sudden increase in external Ca2+ and at high pH. A net KCl loss is also seen after addition of ionophore A23187 in isotonic medium. Similarities are demonstrated between the KCl loss seen after addition of A23187 and the KCl loss seen during RVD. It is proposed that separate conductive K+ and Cl- channels are activated during RVD by release of Ca2+ from internal stores, and that the effect is mediated by calmodulin. After restoration of tonicity the cells shrink initially, but recover their volume with an associated KCl uptake. This regulatory volume increase (RVI) is inhibited when NO3- is substituted for Cl-, and is also inhibited by furosemide or bumetanide, but it is unaffected by DIDS. The unidirectional Cl-flux ratio is compatible with either a coupled uptake of Na+ and Cl-, or an uptake via a K+/Na+/2Cl- cotransport system. No K+ uptake was found, however, in ouabain-poisoned cells where a bumetanide-sensitive uptake of Na+ and Cl- in nearly equimolar amounts was demonstrated. Therefore, it is proposed that the primary process during RVI is an activation of an otherwise quiescent Na+/Cl- cotransport system with subsequent replacement of Na+ by K+ via the Na+/K+ pump. There is a marked increase in the rate of pump activity in the absence of a detectable increase in intracellular Na+ concentration.  相似文献

The cDNAs encoding alpha 3-subunits of rat brain Na+,K+-ATPase and the neomycin resistance gene were incorporated into BALB/c 3T3 cells by the co-transfection method. Stably transformed cells were selected with 300 micrograms/ml of neomycin (G-418) for 6 weeks. Northern blot analysis using the 3'-non-translated region of the cDNA as a probe revealed that the alpha 3 mRNA appeared in transfected cells. Na+,K+-ATPase activity of the transfected cells was twice that of wild-type cells. Regarding ouabain sensitivity, the Na+,K+-ATPase showed two Ki values for ouabain (8 x 10(-8) and 4.5 x 10(-5) M) in transfected cells while wild-type cells displayed only the higher value. Ouabain sensitivity of Rb+ uptake also demonstrated two Ki values in the transfected cells (8 x 10(-8) and 4 x 10(-5) M) and a Ki in wild-type cells of 4 x 10(-5) M. It is concluded that alpha 3 is a highly ouabain-sensitive catalytic subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase. It is also suggested that ouabain sensitivity is exclusively determined by the properties of the alpha-subunit rather than the beta-subunit. This is the first report on the catalytic characteristics of the alpha 3 isoform of Na+,K+-ATPase.  相似文献

The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), which reversibly inhibits the adipose conversion of BALBc 3T3 preadipose cells, increases lactate production by these cells. The stimulation of lactate production requires 4–7 days for optimal effect. Once TPA is removed from the cultures, the rate of lactate production falls to control levels. The concentration dependence for the TPA-mediated stimulation of lactate production is similar to that for its inhibitory effect on adipose conversion. Exogenous lactate in the absence of TPA also inhibits adipose conversion. These results suggest that the ability of TPA to interfere with the normal pattern of glucose metabolism may be important in the inhibitory effect of TPA on triglyceride accumulation in these cells.  相似文献

The present protocol has been developed for the BALB/c 3T3 cell transformation assay (CTA), following the prevalidation study coordinated by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) and reported in this issue (Tanaka et al. [16]). Based upon the experience gained from this effort and as suggested by the Validation Management Team (VMT), some acceptance and assessment criteria have been refined compared to those used during the prevalidation study. The present protocol thus describes cell culture maintenance, the dose-range finding (DRF) experiment and the transformation assay, including cytotoxicity and morphological transformation evaluation. Use of this protocol and of the associated photo catalogue included in this issue (Sasaki et al. [17]) is recommended for the future conduct of the BALB/c 3T3 CTA.  相似文献

Like many cell types in culture, both undifferentiated and differentiated BALB/c 3T3 preadipose cells respond to glucose deprivation with an increased uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (deoxyglucose) and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (methylglucose). Glucose readdition to glucose-deprived cultures resulted in a prompt fall in uptake activity; in undifferentiated cells, a half-maximally effective concentration of glucose was approximately 0.5 mM, while 0.1 mM was ineffective. Several hexoses differed in their efficacy of "deactivating" methylglucose transport in glucose-deprived cells; it appeared that a particular hexose must be metabolized beyond the 6-phosphate form to deactivate the transport system. Previous studies have shown that the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) stimulates hexose transport in undifferentiated and differentiated BALB/c 3T3 cells. In this study, it was found that TPA (and insulin in differentiated cells) prevented the glucose-induced deactivation of transport activity. Glucose-induced deactivation of transport activity was also prevented by cycloheximide or actinomycin D addition concomitantly with glucose. In glucose-starved cells, agents such as TPA and insulin appear to override a cellular control mechanism sensitive to the external concentration of glucose, so that elevated levels of transport activity are maintained under environmental conditions (i.e., a return to physiological glucose concentrations) that normally induce a fall in transport activity.  相似文献

The PS120 variant of Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts which lacks Na+/H+ exchange activity was used to investigate bicarbonate transport systems and their role in intracellular pH (pHi) regulation. When pHi was decreased by acid load, bicarbonate caused pHi increase and stimulated 36Cl- efflux from the cells, both in a Na+-dependent manner. These results together with previous findings that bicarbonate stimulates 22Na+ uptake in PS120 cells (L'Allemain, G., Paris, S., and Pouyssegur, J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 4877-4883) demonstrate the presence of a Na+-linked Cl-/HCO3- exchange system. In cells with normal initial pHi, bicarbonate caused Na+-independent pHi increase in Cl(-)-free solutions and stimulated Na+-independent 36Cl- efflux, indicating that a Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchanger is also present in the cell. Na+-linked and Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchange is apparently mediated by two distinct systems, since a [(tetrahydrofluorene-7-yl)oxy]acetic acid derivative selectively inhibits the Na+-independent exchanger. An additional distinctive feature is a 10-fold lower affinity for chloride of the Na+-linked exchanger. The Na+-linked and Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchange systems are likely to protect the cell from acid and alkaline load, respectively.  相似文献

We have recently reported the presence of an electroneutral (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport mechanism that is bumetanide-sensitive and maintains Cli above its electrochemical equilibrium in cultured chick heart cells. In steady state, (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport is inwardly directed and so contributes to the Na influx that must be counterbalanced by the activity of the Na/K pump to maintain Nai homeostasis. We now show that manipulating (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport by restoring Clo to a Cl-free solution indirectly influences Na/K pump activity because the bumetanide-sensitive recovery of a infNa supi to its control level and the accompanying hyperpolarization could be blocked by 10–4M ouabain. In another protocol, when the Na/K pump was reactivated by restoring Ko (from 0.5 mM to 5.4 mM) and removing ouabain, the recovery of aNa was attenuated by 10–4M bumetanide. The relatively slow rate of ouabain dissociation coupled with the activation of Na influx by (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport clearly establishes the interaction of these transport mechanisms in regulating Nai. Although (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport is electroneutral, secondary consequences of its activity can indirectly affect the electrophysiological properties of cardiac cells.  相似文献

Time-dependent regulation of loop diuretic-sensitive Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport and [3H]bumetanide binding was investigated in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells. Angiotensin II or epidermal growth factor induced stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport within 5 min, with a return to the control values by 30 min. Treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (0.1 microM) (PMA), the calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM), or the combination of 5 mM NaF and 10 microM AlCl3 produced a transient stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport in 5-10 min to 148, 135, and 163% of control, respectively, which was followed by a progressive decrease to 34, 64, and 20% of the base-line activity, respectively, by 60 min. Exposure to cyclic 8-bromo-AMP (0.1 mM) or to forskolin (1 microM) and isobutylmethylxanthine (0.1 mM) caused a maximal inhibition of the cotransport in 5 min to 79 and 60% of control, respectively, with a subsequent gradual increase to 137 and 164% of the base-line activity, respectively, by 60 min. The effects of PMA, forskolin, and cyclic 8-bromo-AMP were concentration-dependent. In order to characterize further the alterations in the cotransport activity, binding of [3H]bumetanide was determined. Saturation binding analyses showed that the late inhibition of the cotransport by PMA and stimulation by forskolin were associated with a significant decrease and increase, respectively, in Bmax, with no significant changes in binding affinity. Correlations between changes in the cotransport activity and [3H]bumetanide binding were also observed in cells treated with cyclic 8-bromo-AMP or with NaF and AlCl3. Incubation of cells in Cl- or Na+ free solution greater than or equal to 60 min resulted in an increase in both the cotransport activity and [3H]bumetanide binding. These observations indicate that, in glomerular mesangial cells, persistent stimulation of second messengers that regulate the cotransporter induces a time-dependent, biphasic regulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport and that the regulation occurring after greater than or equal to 60 min of treatment is primarily due to changes in the number of the active cotransport sites. Because long term removal of the transported ions also increases the number of active cotransport sites, these results suggest that alterations in intracellular ionic homeostasis may also mediate cotransport activity.  相似文献

In order to characterize the transport systems mediating K+ uptake into oocytes, flux studies employing 86Rb were performed on Xenopus oocytes stripped of follicular cells by pretreatment with Ca2(+)-Mg2(+)-free Barth's medium. Total Rb+ uptake consisted of an ouabain-sensitive and an ouabain-insensitive flux. In the presence of 100 mmol/l NaCl and 0.1 mmol/l ouabain the ouabain-insensitive flux amounted to 754.7 +/- 59.9 pmol/oocyte per h (n = 30 cells, i.e., 10 cells each from three different animals). In the absence of Na+ (Na+ substituted by N-methylglucamine) or when Cl- was replaced by NO3- the ouabain-insensitive flux was reduced to 84.4 +/- 42.9 and 79.2 +/- 12.1 pmol/oocyte per h, respectively (n = 50 cells). Furthermore, this Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent flux was completely inhibited by 10(-4) mol/l bumetanide, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport system. These results suggest that K+ uptake via a bumetanide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport system represents a major K+ pathway in oocytes.  相似文献

Previous data indicate that adenosine 3',5'-cyclicmonophosphate activates the epithelial basolateralNa+-K+-Clcotransporter in microfilament-dependent fashion in part by direct action but also in response to apicalCl loss (due to cellshrinkage or decreased intracellularCl). To further addressthe actin dependence ofNa+-K+-Clcotransport, human epithelial T84 monolayers were exposed to anisotonicity, and isotopic flux analysis was performed.Na+-K+-Clcotransport was activated by hypertonicity induced by added mannitol but not added NaCl. Cotransport was also markedly activated by hypotonic stress, a response that appeared to be due in part to reduction of extracellularCl concentration and alsoto activation of K+ andCl efflux pathways.Stabilization of actin with phalloidin blunted cotransporter activationby hypotonicity and abolished hypotonic activation ofK+ andCl efflux. However,phalloidin did not prevent activation of cotransport by hypertonicityor isosmotic reduction of extracellularCl. Conversely, hypertonicbut not hypotonic activation was attenuated by the microfilamentdisassembler cytochalasin D. The results emphasize the complexinterrelationship among intracellularCl activity, cell volume,and the actin cytoskeleton in the regulation of epithelialCl transport.
