The effects of extracellular Na+ on intracellular pH were studied by perfusing BCECF loaded gastric mucosal surface cells adherent to glass coverslips held in a spectrophotofluorometer. Removal of Na+ from a NaCl Ringer perfusate (pH 7.4) resulted in progressive intracellular acidification, which was partially blocked by amiloride. An H+ conductance did not appear to be present. Acidification induced either by Na+ removal or by a NH4 prepulse was reversed by extracellular Na+, but this effect was not completely prevented by amiloride. Amiloride significantly, but not completely, inhibited Na22 uptake by gastric mucosal surface cells. The data suggest that extracellular Na+ maintains intracellular pH of gastric mucosal surface cells through amiloride-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. In the absence of extracellular Na+, cellular acidification seemed to be partially due to Na+/H+ exchange. 相似文献

The neuropeptide somatostatin causes membrane hyperpolarization and reduces the intracellular free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) in GH pituitary cells. In this study, we have used the fluorescent dyes bisoxonol (bis,-(1,3-diethylthiobarbiturate)-trimethineoxonol) and quin2 to elucidate the mechanisms by which these ionic effects are triggered. Addition of 100 nM somatostatin to GH4C1 cells caused a 3.4 mV hyperpolarization and a 26% decrease in [Ca2+]i within 30 s. These effects were not accompanied by changes in intracellular cAMP concentrations and occurred in cells containing either basal or maximally elevated cAMP levels. To determine which of the major permeant ions were involved in these actions of somatostatin, we examined its ability to elicit changes in the membrane potential and the [Ca2+]i when the transmembrane concentration gradients for Na+, Cl-, Ca2+, and K+ were individually altered. Substitution of impermeant organic ions for Na+ or Cl- did not block either the hyperpolarization or the decrease in [Ca2+]i induced by somatostatin. Decreasing extracellular Ca2+ from 1 mM to 250 nM abolished the reduction in [Ca2+]i but did not prevent the hyperpolarization response. These results show that hyperpolarization was not primarily due to changes in the conductances of Na+, Cl-, or Ca2+. Although the somatostatin-induced decrease in [Ca2+]i did require Ca2+ influx, it was independent of changes in Na+ or Cl- conductance. In contrast, elevating the extracellular [K+] from 4.6 to 50 mM completely blocked both the somatostatin-induced hyperpolarization and the reduction in [Ca2+]i. Furthermore, hyperpolarization of the cells with gramicidin mimicked the effect of somatostatin to decrease the [Ca2+]i and prevented any additional effect by the hormone. These results indicate that somatostatin increases a K+ conductance, which hyperpolarizes GH4C1 cells, and thereby secondarily decreases Ca2+ influx. Since the somatostatin-induced decrease in [Ca2+]i is independent of changes in intracellular cAMP levels, it may be responsible for somatostatin inhibition of hormone secretion by its cAMP-independent mechanism. 相似文献

The effects of bethanidine sulphate, a pharmacological analog of the cardiac antibrillatory drug, bretylium tosylate, were studied on action potentials (APs) and K+, Na+, and Ca2+ currents of single cultured embryonic chick heart cells using the whole-cell current clamp and voltage clamp technique. Extracellular application of bethanidine (3 X 10(-4) M) increased the overshoot and the duration of the APs and greatly decreased the outward K+ current (IK) and potentiated the inward fast Na+ currents (INa) and the inward slow calcium current (ICa). However, intracellular introduction of bethanidine (10(-4) M) blocked INa. In isolated atria of rat, bethanidine increased the force of contraction in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that when applied extracellularly, bethanidine exerts a potentiating effect on the myocardial fast Na+ current and slow Ca2+ current and an inhibitory effect of IK. The positive inotropic effect of bethanidine could be due, at least in part, to an increase of Ca2+ influx via the slow Ca2+ channel and the Na-Ca exchange. It is suggested that the decrease of IK by bethanidine may account for its antifibrillatory action. 相似文献

Initiation of DNA synthesis in confluent quiescent 3T3 cell cultures stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF), vasopressin, and insulin was abolished by removing extracellular Na+. The inhibition was reversible, time- and Na+-concentration-dependent, and not due to an effect on binding or internalization of 125I-EGF. Stimulation by combinations of other growth factors with different mechanisms of action was also affected by decreasing extracellular Na+, but with different half-maximal Na+ concentrations. When choline was used as an osmotic substitute for Na+, the decrease in DNA synthesis was correlated with the decrease in intracellular K+. In contrast, when sucrose was used there was stimulation of the Na+-K+ pump and maintenance of intracellular K+ that resulted in a somewhat higher rate of DNA synthesis at lowered extracellular Na+ compared to choline. Mitogenesis induced by epidermal growth factor, vasopressin, and insulin led to cytoplasmic alkalinization as determined by an increase in uptake of the weak acid 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione. Experimental decrease in extracellular Na+ blocked this cellular alkalinization. Therefore, under some conditions the supply of extracellular Na+ may limit cellular proliferation because of a reduction in the provision of Na+ to the Na+/H+ antiport and resultant failure of alkalinization. We conclude that Na+ flux and its effect on intracellular K and pH has a major role in the complex system that regulates proliferation. 相似文献

The effects of intracellular signals (pHi, Na+i, Ca2+i, and the electrical membrane potential), on Na+ transport mediated by the Na+/K+ pump were investigated in the isolated Rana esculenta frog skin. In particular we focussed on pHi sensitivity since protons act as an intrinsic regulator of transepithelial Na+ transport (JNa) by a simultaneous control of the apical membrane Na+ conductance (gNa) and the basolateral membrane K+ conductance (gK). pHi changes which modify JNa, gNa and gK, do not affect the Na+ transport mediated by the pump as shown by kinetic and electrophysiological studies. In addition, no changes were observed in the number of 3H-ouabain binding sites in acid-loaded epithelia. Our attempts to modify cellular Ca2+ (by using Ca(2+)-free/EGTA Ringer solution or A23187 addition) also failed to produce any significant effects in the Na+ pump turnover rate or the number of 3H-ouabain binding sites. The Na+ pump current was found to be sensitive to the basolateral membrane potential, saturating for very positive (cell) potentials and a reversal potential of -160 mV was calculated from I-V relationships of the pump. Changes in Na+i considerably affected the Na+ pump rate. A saturating relationship was found between pump rate and Nai+ with maximal activation at Nai+ greater than 40 mmol/l; a high dependence of the pump rate and of the number of 3H-ouabain binding sites was observed in the physiological range of Nai+. We conclude that protons (in the physiological pH range) which act directly and simultaneously on the passive transport pathways (gNa and gK), have no direct effect on the Na+/K+ pump rate. After an acid load, the inhibition of JNa is primarily due to the reduction of gNa. This results in a reduction of Nai and the pump turnover rate then becomes dependent on other pathways of Na+ entry such as the basolateral membrane Na+/H+ exchanger. 相似文献

In Necturus gallbladder epithelium, lowering serosal [Na+] ([Na+]s) reversibly hyperpolarized the basolateral cell membrane voltage (Vcs) and reduced the fractional resistance of the apical membrane (fRa). Previous results have suggested that there is no sizable basolateral Na+ conductance and that there are apical Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. Here, we studied the mechanisms of the electrophysiological effects of lowering [Na+]s, in particular the possibility that an elevation in intracellular free [Ca2+] hyperpolarizes Vcs by increasing gK+. When [Na+]s was reduced from 100.5 to 10.5 mM (tetramethylammonium substitution), Vcs hyperpolarized from -68 +/- 2 to a peak value of -82 +/- 2 mV (P less than 0.001), and fRa decreased from 0.84 +/- 0.02 to 0.62 +/- 0.02 (P less than 0.001). Addition of 5 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA+) to the mucosal solution reduced both the hyperpolarization of Vcs and the change in fRa, whereas serosal addition of TEA+ had no effect. Ouabain (10(-4) M, serosal side) produced a small depolarization of Vcs and reduced the hyperpolarization upon lowering [Na+]s, without affecting the decrease in fRa. The effects of mucosal TEA+ and serosal ouabain were additive. Neither amiloride (10(-5) or 10(-3) M) nor tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) had any effects on Vcs or fRa or on their responses to lowering [Na+]s, suggesting that basolateral Na+ channels do not contribute to the control membrane voltage or to the hyperpolarization upon lowering [Na+]s. The basolateral membrane depolarization upon elevating [K+]s was increased transiently during the hyperpolarization of Vcs upon lowering [Na+]s. Since cable analysis experiments show that basolateral membrane resistance increased, a decrease in basolateral Cl- conductance (gCl-) is the main cause of the increased K+ selectivity. Lowering [Na+]s increases intracellular free [Ca2+], which may be responsible for the increase in the apical membrane TEA(+)-sensitive gK+. We conclude that the decrease in fRa by lowering [Na+]s is mainly caused by an increase in intracellular free [Ca2+], which activates TEA(+)-sensitive maxi K+ channels at the apical membrane and decreases apical membrane resistance. The hyperpolarization of Vcs is due to increase in: (a) apical membrane gK+, (b) the contribution of the Na+ pump to Vcs, (c) basolateral membrane K+ selectivity (decreased gCl-), and (d) intraepithelial current flow brought about by a paracellular diffusion potential. 相似文献

The inward-rectifying K+ current (IK1) in cat ventricular myocytes, like inward-rectifying K+ currents in many other preparations, exhibited a negative slope conductance region at hyperpolarized membrane potentials that was time-dependent. This was evident as an inactivation of inward current elicited by hyperpolarizing voltage-clamp pulses resulting in a negative slope region of the steady-state current-voltage relationship at potentials negative to -140 mV. Removing extracellular Na+ prevented the development of the negative slope in this voltage region, suggesting that Na+ can block IK1 channels in a time- and voltage-dependent manner. The time and voltage dependence of Cs+-induced block of IK1 was also examined. Cs+ blocked inward current in a manner similar to that of Na+, but the former was much more potent. The fraction of current blocked by Cs+ in the presence of Na+ was reduced in a time- and voltage-dependent manner, which suggested that these blocking ions compete for a common or at least similar site of action. In the absence of Na+, inactivation of IK1 could also be induced by both Cs+ and Li+. However, Li+ was less potent than Na+ in this respect. Calculation of the voltage sensitivity of current block by each of these ions suggests that the mechanism of block by each is similar. 相似文献

The steady-state slope conductance of Limulus ventral photoreceptors increases markedly when the membrane is depolarized from rest. The ionic basis of this rectification has been examined with a voltage-clamp technique. Tail currents that occur when membrane potential is repolarized after having been depolarized have been identified. The tail currents reverse direction at a voltage that becomes more positive when Ko is increased. Rectification is reduced by extracellular 4-aminopyridine and by intracellular injection of tetra-ethyl-ammonium (TEA). These results indicate that the membrane rectification around resting potential is due primarily to voltage-sensitive K+ channels. The increase in gK caused by depolarization is not mediated by a voltage-dependent rise in in Cai++, since intracellular injection of Ca++ causes a decrease rather than an increase in slope conductance. TEA can be used to examine the functional role of the K+ channels because it blocks them without substantially affecting the light-activated Na+ conductance. The effect of TEA on response-intensity curves shows that the K+ channels serve to compress the voltage range of receptor potentials. 相似文献

The possible role of cerebrocortical ion homeostasis, NAD/NADH redox state and of cortical oxygen tension was investigated in the initiation of hypoxic cortical vasodilatation. In addition, changes in cerebrocortical extracellular concentrations of Na+, K+, and Cl- during anoxia were studied. The results were as follows. a) The cerebrocortical reflectance decrease, e.g. cerebral vasodilatation, lagged behind the cortical pO2 decrease by 1-2 sec, but preceded the decrease of arterial blood pressure and ECoG as well as the extracellular Na+, K+, Cl- increases by 20-30 sec. Since the cortical pO2 decreased first and the ion changes lagged behind the onset of vasodilatation by 20-30 sec, it is suggested that the CBF increase in hypoxia is mediated via the cortical pO2 decrease. b) A significant NAD reduction was already present after 20 sec. of nitrogen breathing. Since the ECoG and MABP decreased, and K+ activity increased much later than this, it is presumed that the NAD reduction during the first 30-40 sec of anoxia indicates an increased rate of glycolysis, but not mitochondrial hypoxia. c) In the predepolarization phase a 17% K+, 4% Na+, 5% Cl- increase is probably the result of a reduction of the extracellular spaces caused by water movement and by the migration of Na+ and Cl- from the extracellular to the intracellular space. The large K+, Na+, Cl- changes during terminal depolarization can be interpreted as a result of the failure of the membrane bound Na+ -K+ pump and of the altered ion permeability of the cell membranes. 相似文献

Permeation of Na+ through a delayed rectifier K+ channel in chick dorsal root ganglion neurons 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
《The Journal of general physiology》1994,104(4):747-771
In whole-cell patch clamp recordings from chick dorsal root ganglion neurons, removal of intracellular K+ resulted in the appearance of a large, voltage-dependent inward tail current (Icat). Icat was not Ca2+ dependent and was not blocked by Cd2+, but was blocked by Ba2+. The reversal potential for Icat shifted with the Nernst potential for [Na+]. The channel responsible for Icat had a cation permeability sequence of Na+ >> Li+ >> TMA+ > NMG+ (PX/PNa = 1:0.33:0.1:0) and was impermeable to Cl-. Addition of high intracellular concentrations of K+, Cs+, or Rb+ prevented the occurrence of Icat. Inhibition of Icat by intracellular K+ was voltage dependent, with an IC50 that ranged from 3.0-8.9 mM at membrane potentials between -50 and -110 mV. This voltage- dependent shift in IC50 (e-fold per 52 mV) is consistent with a single cation binding site approximately 50% of the distance into the membrane field. Icat displayed anomolous mole fraction behavior with respect to Na+ and K+; Icat was inhibited by 5 mM extracellular K+ in the presence of 160 mM Na+ and potentiated by equimolar substitution of 80 mM K+ for Na+. The percent inhibition produced by both extracellular and intracellular K+ at 5 mM was identical. Reversal potential measurements revealed that K+ was 65-105 times more permeant than Na+ through the Icat channel. Icat exhibited the same voltage and time dependence of inactivation, the same voltage dependence of activation, and the same macroscopic conductance as the delayed rectifier K+ current in these neurons. We conclude that Icat is a Na+ current that passes through a delayed rectifier K+ channel when intracellular K+ is reduced to below 30 mM. At intracellular K+ concentrations between 1 and 30 mM, PK/PNa remained constant while the conductance at -50 mV varied from 80 to 0% of maximum. These data suggest that the high selectivity of these channels for K+ over Na+ is due to the inability of Na+ to compete with K+ for an intracellular binding site, rather than a barrier that excludes Na+ from entry into the channel or a barrier such as a selectivity filter that prevents Na+ ions from passing through the channel. 相似文献

Whole-cell membrane currents were measured in isolated cat ventricular myocytes using a suction-electrode voltage-clamp technique. An inward-rectifying current was identified that exhibited a time-dependent activation. The peak current appeared to have a linear voltage dependence at membrane potentials negative to the reversal potential. Inward current was sensitive to K channel blockers. In addition, varying the extracellular K+ concentration caused changes in the reversal potential and slope conductance expected for a K+ current. The voltage dependence of the chord conductance exhibited a sigmoidal relationship, increasing at more negative membrane potentials. Increasing the extracellular K+ concentration increased the maximal level of conductance and caused a shift in the relationship that was directly proportional to the change in reversal potential. Activation of the current followed a monoexponential time course, and the time constant of activation exhibited a monoexponential dependence on membrane potential. Increasing the extracellular K+ concentration caused a shift of this relationship that was directly proportional to the change in reversal potential. Inactivation of inward current became evident at more negative potentials, resulting in a negative slope region of the steady state current-voltage relationship between -140 and -180 mV. Steady state inactivation exhibited a sigmoidal voltage dependence, and recovery from inactivation followed a monoexponential time course. Removing extracellular Na+ caused a decrease in the slope of the steady state current-voltage relationship at potentials negative to -140 mV, as well as a decrease of the conductance of inward current. It was concluded that this current was IK1, the inward-rectifying K+ current found in multicellular cardiac preparations. The K+ and voltage sensitivity of IK1 activation resembled that found for the inward-rectifying K+ currents in frog skeletal muscle and various egg cell preparations. Inactivation of IK1 in isolated ventricular myocytes was viewed as being the result of two processes: the first involves a voltage-dependent change in conductance; the second involves depletion of K+ from extracellular spaces. The voltage-dependent component of inactivation was associated with the presence of extracellular Na+. 相似文献

The mechanism of luminal solution acidification was studied in Necturus gallbladder by measurement of mucosal solution and intracellular pH with glass electrodes. When the gallbladder was bathed by a Na-Ringer's solution it acidified the luminal side by a Na+-dependent, amiloride- inhibitable process. In the presence of ouabain, acidification was reduced but could be stimulated to a rate greater than that under control conditions by the imposition of an inwardly directed Na+ gradient. These results suggest that luminal acidification results from Na+-H+ exchange at the apical membrane and not by diffusion of metabolic CO2. Li+ can substitute for Na+ but K+, Rb+, Cs+, and tetramethylammonium (TMA+) cannot. The maximal rate of exchange was about five times greater for Na+ than for Li+. Intracellular pH (pHi) was measured with recessed-tip glass microelectrodes; with the tissue bathed in Na-Ringer's solution (pH 7.75), pHi was 7.51 +/- 0.04. After inhibition of Na+-H+ exchange by mucosal perfusion with amiloride (1 mM) or by complete Na+ replacement with TMA+, phi fell reversibly by 0.15 and 0.22 pH units, respectively. These results support the conclusion that Na+-H+ exchange at the apical membrane is the mechanism of luminal acidification and is involved in the maintenance of steady state pHi. 相似文献

Decreased intracellular Na+ concentration is an early event in murine erythroleukemic cell differentiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A decrease in Na+/K+-pump activity is an early event of Friend murine erythroleukemic (MEL) cell differentiation along the erythroid pathway. This decreased Na+/K+-pump activity has been proposed to be an essential step in differentiation which would cause a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration and then, by means of Na+/Ca2+ exchange, an increase in intracellular Ca2+. An increase in intracellular Ca2+ has been proposed to be essential for induction of differentiation. A critical prediction of this Na+-Ca2+ hypothesis is the rise in intracellular Na+. To test this prediction we have measured intracellular Na+ using a novel triple isotope method involving 3H2O, [14C]sucrose, and 22Na to measure total water, extracellular fluid, and Na+, respectively. 22Na equilibration occurred in less than 10 min. In uninduced cells, intracellular Na+ was 15.2 +/- 2.2 mM (S.D., n = 22); after induction for 14-16 h with dimethyl sulfoxide, intracellular Na+ decreased significantly (p less than 0.0001) to 8.4 +/- 1.4 mM (n = 21). The time course of the decline in intracellular Na+ paralleled that of the decrease in the Na+/K+-pump activity. These results are in direct contradiction to the Na+-Ca2+ hypothesis and suggest that observed changes in Na+/K+-pump activity can be explained solely on the basis of changes in intracellular Na+. The drop in intracellular Na+ is due to a decrease in Na+ influx. We suggest, however, that the decrease in the Na+ influx is not itself an essential event of differentiation, but may be induced by a change in the flux of another ion coupled to Na+. 相似文献

Na+/H+ exchange in vertebrates is thought to be electroneutral and insensitive to the membrane voltage. This basic concept has been challenged by recent reports of antiport-associated currents in the turtle colon epithelium (Post and Dawson, 1992, 1994). To determine the electrogenicity of mammalian antiporters, we used the whole-cell patch clamp technique combined with microfluorimetric measurements of intracellular pH (pHi). In murine macrophages, which were found by RT- PCR to express the NHE-1 isoform of the antiporter, reverse (intracellular Na(+)-driven) Na+/H+ exchange caused a cytosolic acidification and activated an outward current, whereas forward (extracellular Na(+)-driven) exchange produced a cytosolic alkalinization and reduced a basal outward current. The currents mirrored the changes in pHi, were strictly dependent on the presence of a Na+ gradient and were reversibly blocked by amiloride. However, the currents were seemingly not carried by the Na+/H+ exchanger itself, but were instead due to a shift in the voltage dependence of a preexisting H+ conductance. This was supported by measurements of the reversal potential (Erev) of tail currents, which identified H+ (equivalents) as the charge carrier. During Na+/H+ exchange, Erev changed along with the measured changes in pHi (by 60-69 mV/pH). Moreover, the current and Na+/H+ exchange could be dissociated. Zn2+, which inhibits the H+ conductance, reversibly blocked the currents without altering Na+/H+ exchange. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which lack the H+ conductance, Na+/H+ exchange produced pHi changes that were not accompanied by transmembrane currents. Similar results were obtained in CHO cells transfected with either the NHE-1, NHE-2, or NHE-3 isoforms of the antiporter, indicating that exchange through these isoforms is electroneutral. In all the isoforms tested, the amplitude and time- course of the antiport-induced pHi changes were independent of the holding voltage. We conclude that mammalian NHE-1, NHE-2, and NHE-3 are electroneutral and voltage independent. In cells endowed with a pH- sensitive H+ conductance, such as macrophages, activation of Na(+)-H+ exchange can modulate a transmembrane H+ current. The currents reported in turtle colon might be due to a similar "cross-talk" between the antiporter and a H+ conductance. 相似文献

Intracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) was measured in rat ventricular myocytes with the fluorescent indicator furaptra (25 degrees C). After the myocytes were loaded with Mg2+, the initial rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i (initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat) was estimated upon introduction of extracellular Na+, as an index of the rate of Na+-dependent Mg2+ efflux. The initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat values with 140 mM [Na+]o were essentially unchanged by the addition of extracellular Ca2+ up to 1 mM (107.3+/-8.7% of the control value measured at 0 mM [Ca2+]o in the presence of 0.1 mM EGTA, n=5). Intracellular loading of a Ca2+ chelator, either BAPTA or dimethyl BAPTA, by incubation with its acetoxymethyl ester form (5 microM for 3.5 h) did not significantly change the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 115.2+/-7.5% (seven BAPTA-loaded cells) and 109.5+/-10.9% (four dimethyl BAPTA loaded cells) of the control values measured in the absence of an intracellular chelator. Extracellular and/or intracellular concentrations of K+ and Cl- were modified under constant [Na+]o (70 mM), [Ca2+]o (0 mM with 0.1 mM EGTA), and membrane potential (-13 mV with the amphotericin-B-perforated patch-clamp technique). None of the following conditions significantly changed the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 1), changes in [K+]o between 0 mM and 75 mM (65.6+/-5.0% (n=11) and 79.0+/-6.0% (n=8), respectively, of the control values measured at 140 mM [Na+]o without any modification of extracellular and intracellular K+ and Cl-); 2), intracellular perfusion with K+-free (Cs+-substituted) solution from the patch pipette in combination with removal of extracellular K+ (77.7+/-8.2%, n=8); and 3), extracellular and intracellular perfusion with K+-free and Cl--free solutions (71.6+/-5.1%, n=5). These results suggest that Mg2+ is transported in exchange with Na+, but not with Ca2+, K+, or Cl-, in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

The Na+ transport pathways of normal rat thymocytes were investigated. Na+ conductance was found to be lower than K+ conductance, which is consistent with reported values of membrane potential. In contrast, the isotopically measured Na+ permeability was greater than 10-fold higher than that of K+, which indicates that most of the flux is electroneutral. Cotransport with Cl- (or K+ and Cl-) and countertransport with Ca2+ were ruled out by ion substitution experiments and use of inhibitors. Countertransport for Na+ or H+ through the amiloride-sensitive antiport accounts for only 15-20% of the resting influx. In the presence of amiloride, 22Na+ uptake was increased in Na+-loaded cells, which suggests the existence of Na+/Na+ countertransport. Cytoplasmic pH determinations using fluorescent probes indicated that under certain conditions this amiloride-resistant system will also exchange Na+ for H+, as evidenced by an internal Na+- dependent acidification is proportional to internal [Na+] but inversely related to extracellular [Na+]. Moreover, 22Na+ uptake is inhibited by increasing external [H+]. The results support the existence of a substantial amiloride-insensitive, electroneutral cation exchange system capable of transporting Na+ and H+. 相似文献

The effects of elevating intracellular cAMP levels on Na+ transport across the apical membrane of Necturus gallbladder epithelium were studied by intracellular and extracellular microelectrode techniques. Intracellular cAMP was raised by serosal addition of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor theophylline (3 mM) or mucosal addition of either 8-Br-cAMP (1 mM) or the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (10 microM). During elevation of intracellular cAMP, intracellular Na+ activity (alpha Nai) and intracellular pH (pHi) decreased significantly. In addition, acidification of the mucosal solution, which contained either 100 or 10 mM Na+, was inhibited by approximately 50%. The inhibition was independent of the presence of Cl- in the bathing media. The rates of change of alpha Nai upon rapid alterations of mucosal [Na+] from 100 to 10 mM and from 10 to 100 mM were both decreased, and the rate of pHi recovery upon acid loading was also reduced by elevated cAMP levels. Inhibition was approximately 50% for all of these processes. These results indicate that cAMP inhibits apical membrane Na+/H+ exchange. The results of measurements of pHi recovery at 10 and 100 mM mucosal [Na+] and a kinetic analysis of recovery as a function of pHi suggest that the main or sole mechanism of the inhibitory effect of cAMP is a reduction in the maximal rate of acid extrusion. In conjunction with the increase in apical membrane electrodiffusional Cl- permeability, produced by cAMP, which causes a decrease in net Cl- entry (Petersen, K.-U., and L. Reuss, 1983, J. Gen. Physiol., 81:705), inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange contributes to the reduction of fluid absorption elicited by this agent. Similar mechanisms may account for the effects of cAMP in other epithelia with similar transport properties. It is also possible that inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange by cAMP plays a role in the regulation of pHi in other cell types. 相似文献

We studied the ionic mechanisms underlying the regulatory volume increase of rat hepatocytes in primary culture by use of confocal laser scanning microscopy, conventional and ion-sensitive microelectrodes, cable analysis, microfluorometry, and measurements of 86Rb+ uptake. Increasing osmolarity from 300 to 400 mosm/liter by addition of sucrose decreased cell volumes to 88.6% within 1 min; thereafter, cell volumes increased to 94.1% of control within 10 min, equivalent to a regulatory volume increase (RVI) by 44.5%. This RVI was paralleled by a decrease in cell input resistance and in specific cell membrane resistance to 88 and 60%, respectively. Ion substitution experiments (high K+, low Na+, low Cl-) revealed that these membrane effects are due to an increase in hepatocyte Na+ conductance. During RVI, ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake was augmented to 141% of control, and cell Na+ and cell K+ increased to 148 and 180%, respectively. The RVI, the increases in Na+ conductance and cell Na+, as well as the activation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase were completely blocked by 10(-5) mol/liter amiloride. At this concentration, amiloride had no effect on osmotically induced cell alkalinization via Na+/H+ exchange. When osmolarity was increased from 220 to 300 mosm/liter (by readdition of sucrose after a preperiod of 15 min in which the cells underwent a regulatory volume decrease, RVD) cell volumes initially decreased to 81.5%; thereafter cell volumes increased to 90.8% of control. This post-RVD-RVI of 55.0% is also mediated by an increase in Na+ conductance. We conclude that rat hepatocytes in confluent primary culture are capable of RVI as well as of post-RVD-RVI. In this system, hypertonic stress leads to a considerable increase in cell membrane Na+ conductance. In concert with conductive Na+ influx, cell K+ is then increased via activation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. An additional role of Na+/H+ exchange in the volume regulation of rat hepatocytes remains to be defined. 相似文献

To probe the mechanism by which intracellular ATP, Na+, and Cl- influence the activity of the NaK2Cl cotransporter, we measured bumetanide-sensitive (BS) 86Rb fluxes in the osteosarcoma cell line UMR- 106-01. Under physiological gradients of Na+, K+, and Cl-, depleting cellular ATP by incubation with deoxyglucose and antimycin A (DOG/AA) for 20 min at 37 degrees C reduced BS 86Rb uptake from 6 to 1 nmol/mg protein per min. Similar incubation with 0.5 mM ouabain to inhibit the Na+ pump had no effect on the uptake, excluding the possibility that DOG/AA inhibited the uptake by modifying the cellular Na+ and K+ gradients. Loading the cells with Na+ and depleting them of K+ by a 2-3- h incubation with ouabain or DOG/AA increased the rate of BS 86Rb uptake to approximately 12 nmol/mg protein per min. The unidirectional BS 86Rb influx into control cells was approximately 10 times faster than the unidirectional BS 86Rb efflux. On the other hand, at steady state the unidirectional BS 86Rb influx and efflux in ouabain-treated cells were similar, suggesting that most of the BS 86Rb uptake into the ouabain-treated cells is due to K+/K+ exchange. The entire BS 86Rb uptake into ouabain-treated cells was insensitive to depletion of cellular ATP. However, the influx could be converted to ATP-sensitive influx by reducing cellular Cl- and/or Na+ in ouabain-treated cells to impose conditions for net uptake of the ions. The BS 86Rb uptake in ouabain-treated cells required the presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the extracellular medium. Thus, loading the cells with Na+ induced rapid 86Rb (K+) influx and efflux which, unlike net uptake, were insensitive to cellular ATP. Therefore, we suggest that ATP regulates a step in the turnover cycle of the cotransporter that is required for net but not K+/K+ exchange fluxes. Depleting control cells of Cl- increased BS 86Rb uptake from medium-containing physiological Na+ and K+ concentrations from 6 to approximately 15 nmol/mg protein per min. The uptake was blocked by depletion of cellular ATP with DOG/AA and required the presence of all three ions in the external medium. Thus, intracellular Cl- appears to influence net uptake by the cotransporter. Depletion of intracellular Na+ was as effective as depletion of Cl- in stimulating BS 86Rb uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Intracellular Na+, K+, and Mg2+ concentrations have been measured during the HeLa cell cycle and compared with changes in oxygen utilization and macromolecular synthesis. Cell water content remains relatively constant at 79 +/- 1% during the cell cycle. A biphasic change in intracellular Na+ occurs with low values as cells reach peak S phase and again in early G1. The decrease in S coincides with an increase in cell volume during increased macromolecular synthesis. The fall in intracellular Na+ during mitosis/early G1 coincides with decreased energy utilization as macromolecular synthesis decreases with a continued decrease in [Na+]i in G1 corresponding to a period of increasing cell volume and an increase in protein synthesis. Intracellular Na+ is relatively high during late S/G2 when phosphate incorporation into protein and phospholipid is maximal. Intracellular K+ concentrations largely parallel intracellular Na+ levels although the intracellular K+:Na+ ratio is significantly lower as the cell volume increases during late G2/mitosis. Additions of a Na+-pump inhibitor (strophanthidin) not only caused a rise in [Na+]i and fall in [K+]i but also inhibited protein synthesis. Conversely, addition of a protein synthesis inhibitor (cycloheximide) blocked amino acid incorporation and produces a fall in intracellular Na+ levels. These findings indicate that intracellular Na+ and K+ play an important role in regulating cell hydration during the cell cycle and that changes in Na+, K+-ATPase activity, synthesis and/or utilization of high energy phosphate compounds, fluid phase turnover (endocytosis), Na+:H+ exchange (pHi), Donnan forces, and ionic adsorption may all be involved. 相似文献
