The present study was aimed at evaluating the role of D(1)- and D(2)-like receptors and investigating whether inhibition of Na(+) transepithelial flux by dopamine is primarily dependent on inhibition of the apical Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, inhibition of the basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, or both. The data presented here show that opossum kidney cells are endowed with D(1)- and D(2)-like receptors, the activation of the former, but not the latter, accompanied by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (EC(50) = 220 +/- 2 nM), marked intracellular acidification (IC(50) = 58 +/- 2 nM), and attenuation of amphotericin B-induced decreases in short-circuit current (28.6 +/- 4.5% reduction) without affecting intracellular pH recovery after CO(2) removal. These results agree with the view that dopamine, through the activation of D(1)- but not D(2)-like receptors, inhibits both the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (0.001933 +/- 0.000121 vs. 0.000887 +/- 0.000073 pH unit/s) and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase without interfering with the Na(+)-independent HCO transporter. It is concluded that dopamine, through the action of D(1)-like receptors, inhibits both the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, but its marked acidifying effects result from inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger only, without interfering with the Na(+)-independent HCO transporter and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase.  相似文献

The regulation of intracellular pH (pH(i)) in colonocytes of the rat proximal colon has been investigated using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF and compared with the regulation of pH(i) in the colonocytes of the distal colon. The proximal colonocytes in a HEPES-buffered solution had pH(i)=7.24+/-0.04 and removal of extracellular Na(+) lowered pH(i) by 0.24 pH units. Acid-loaded colonocytes by an NH(3)/NH(4)(+) prepulse exhibited a spontaneous recovery that was partially Na(+)-dependent and could be inhibited by ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA). The Na(+)-dependent recovery rate was enhanced by increasing the extracellular Na(+) concentration and was further stimulated by aldosterone. In an Na(+)- and K(+)-free HEPES-buffered solution, the recovery rate from the acid load was significantly stimulated by addition of K(+) and this K(+)-dependent recovery was partially blocked by ouabain. The intrinsic buffer capacity of proximal colonocytes at physiological pH(i) exhibited a nearly 2-fold higher value than in distal colonocytes. Butyrate induced immediate colonocyte acidification that was smaller in proximal than in distal colonocytes. This acidification was followed by a recovery phase that was both EIPA-sensitive and -insensitive and was similar in both groups of colonocytes. In a HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-containing solution, pH(i) of the proximal colonocytes was 7.20+/-0.04. Removal of external Cl(-) caused alkalinization that was inhibited by DIDS. The recovery from an alkaline load induced by removal of HCO(3)(-)/CO(2) from the medium was Cl(-)-dependent, Na(+)-independent and blocked by DIDS. Recovery from an acid load in EIPA-containing Na(+)-free HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-containing solution was accelerated by addition of Na(+). Removal of Cl(-) inhibited the effect of Na(+). In summary, the freshly isolated proximal colonocytes of rats express Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, H(+)/K(+) exchanger ((H(+)-K(+))-ATPase) and Na(+)-dependent Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger that contribute to acid extrusion and Na(+)-independent Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger contributing to alkali extrusion. All of these are likely involved in the regulation of pH(i) in vivo. Proximal colonocytes are able to maintain a more stable pH(i) than distal cells, which seems to be facilitated by their higher intrinsic buffer capacity.  相似文献

The molecular mechanisms responsible for intracellular pH regulation in the U2-OS osteosarcoma cell line were investigated by loading with 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6) carboxyfluorescein ester and manipulation of Cl(-) and Na(+) gradients, both in HEPES- and HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-buffered media. Both acidification and alkalinisation were poorly sensitive to 4,4'-diisothiocyanate dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, inhibitor of the anion exchanger, but sensitive to amiloride, inhibitor of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. In addition to the amiloride-sensitive Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, another H(+) extruding mechanism was detected in U-2 OS cells, the Na(+)-dependent HCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchanger. No significant difference in resting pH(i) and in the rate of acidification or alkalinisation was observed in clones obtained from U-2 OS cells by transfection with the MDR1 gene and overexpressing P-glycoprotein. However, both V(max) and K' values for intracellular [H(+)] of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger were significantly reduced in MDR1-transfected clones, in the absence and/or presence of drug selection, in comparison to vector-transfected or parental cell line. NHE1, NHE5 and at a lower extent NHE2 mRNA were detected in similar amount in all U2-OS clones. It is concluded that, although overexpression of P-glycoprotein did not impair pH(i) regulation in U-2 OS cells, the kinetic parameters of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger were altered, suggesting a functional relationship between the two membrane proteins.  相似文献

In this study, the correlation between Cl(-) influx in freshwater tilapia and various transporters or enzymes, the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, V-type H(+)-ATPase, and carbonic anhydrase were examined. The inhibitors 2x10(-4) M ouabain (a Na(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitor), 10(-5) M NEM (a V-type H(+)-ATPase inhibitor), 10(-2) M ACTZ (acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor), and 6x10(-4) M DIDS (a Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger inhibitor) caused 40%, 60%-80%, 40%-60%, and 40%-60% reduction in Cl(-) influx of freshwater tilapia, respectively. The inhibitor 2x10(-4) M ouabain also caused 50%-65% inhibition in gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Western blot results showed that protein levels of gill Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, V-type H(+)-ATPase, and carbonic anhydrase in tilapia acclimated in low-Cl(-) freshwater were significantly higher than those acclimated to high-Cl(-) freshwater. Based on these data, we conclude that Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, V-H(+)-ATPase, the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, and carbonic anhydrase may be involved in the active Cl(-) uptake mechanism in gills of freshwater-adapted tilapia.  相似文献

The maintenance of chondrocyte pH is an important parameter controlling cartilage matrix turnover rates. Previous studies have shown that, to varying degrees, chondrocytes rely on Na(+)/H(+) exchange to regulate pH. HCO(3)(-)-dependent buffering and HCO(3)(-)-dependent acid-extrusion systems seem to play relatively minor roles. This situation may reflect minimal carbonic anhydrase activity in cartilage cells. In the present study, the pH regulation of the human chondrocyte cell line, C-20/A4 has been characterised. Intracellular pH (pH(i)) was measured using the H(+)-sensitive fluoroprobe BCECF. In solutions lacking HCO(3)(-)/CO(2), pH(i) was approximately 7.5, and the recovery from intracellular acidification was predominantly mediated by a Na(+)-dependent, amiloride- and HOE 694-sensitive process. A small additional component which was sensitive to chloro-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, an inhibitor of the V-type H(+)-ATPase, was also apparent. In solutions containing HCO(3)(-)/CO(2), pH(i) was approximately 7.2. Comparison of buffering capacity in the two conditions showed that this variable was not significantly augmented in HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-containing media. The recovery from intracellular acidification was more rapid in the presence of HCO(3)(-)/CO(2), although under these conditions it was again largely dependent on Na(+) ions and inhibited by amiloride and HOE 694. A small component was inhibited by SITS, although this effect did not reach the level of statistical significance. These findings indicate that HCO(3)(-)-dependent processes play only a minimal role in pH regulation in C-20/A4 chondrocytes. pH regulation instead relies heavily on the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger together with a H(+)-ATPase. The absence of extrinsic (HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)) buffering is likely to reflect the low levels of carbonic anhydrase in these cells. In addition to providing fundamental information about a widely-used cell line, these findings support the contention that the unusual nature of pH regulation in chondrocytes reflects the paucity of carbonic anhydrase activity in these cells.  相似文献

Mouse embryos at the two-cell stage, like other cells, can recover from an intracellular acid-load. Our previous work has shown, surprisingly, that there is no contribution to this recovery by Na+/H+ antiport activity. Here we show that the recovery similarly is not affected by inhibition of other known intracellular pH (pHi) regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, the recovery is unaffected by lack of external Na+, inhibition of anion exchange, or lack of bicarbonate, which eliminates the Na(+)-dependent HCO3-/Cl- exchanger as a possible mechanisms. These conditions also eliminate any possible Na+,HCO3- cotransporter operating to relieve acid-loading. Recovery is unaffected similarly by nonspecific inhibitors of H(+)-ATPase activity. These observations lead to the conclusion that recovery from acid-load is a passive process in the two-cell mouse embryo. Similarly, the mean base-line pHi (6.84) is not dependent on known pHi regulatory mechanisms. The embryos exhibit a marked intracellular alkalinization when exposed to Cl(-)-free medium in the presence of bicarbonate. This response is eliminated by an inhibitor of anion exchange and by lack of bicarbonate, but is independent of Na+. These results indicate that there is probably a Na(+)-independent HCO3-/Cl- exchanger active in these cells, presumably functioning to alleviate alkaline loads.  相似文献

In mammalian nephrons, most of the Na(+) and HCO(3)(-) is reabsorbed by proximal tubular cells in which the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) is the major player. The roles of NHEs in Na(+) uptake/acid-base regulation in freshwater (FW) fish gills are still being debated. In the present study, functional genomic approaches were used to clone and sequence the full-length cDNAs of the nhe family from zebrafish (Danio rerio). A phylogenetic tree analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences showed that zNHE1-8 are homologous to their mammalian counterparts. By RT-PCR analysis and double/triple in situ hybridization/immunocytochemistry, only zebrafish NHE3b was expressed in zebrafish gills and was colocalized with V-H(+)-ATPase but not with Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, indicating that H(+)-ATPase-rich (HR) cells specifically express NHE3b. A subsequent quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that acclimation to low-Na(+) FW caused upregulation and downregulation of the expressions of znhe3b and zatp6v0c (H(+)-ATPase C-subunit), respectively, in gill HR cells, whereas acclimation to acidic FW showed reversed effects on the expressions of these two genes. In conclusion, both NHE3b and H(+)-ATPase are probably involved in Na(+) uptake/acid-base regulation in zebrafish gills, like mammalian kidneys, but the partitioning of these two transporters may be differentially regulated depending on the environmental situation in which fish are acclimatized.  相似文献

On exposure to hyposmotic acidic water, teleost fish suffer from decreases in blood osmolality and pH, and consequently activate osmoregulatory and acid-base regulatory mechanisms to restore disturbed ion and acid-base balances. In Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus exposed to acidic (pH 4.0) or neutral (pH 7.4-7.7) freshwater in combination with 0mM or 50mM NaCl, we examined functional and morphological changes in gill mitochondria-rich (MR) cells. We assessed gene expression of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-3 (NHE3), Na(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC), vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter-1 (NBC1) in the gills. The mRNA expression of NHE3 and NCC in tilapia gills were higher in acidic freshwater than in that supplemented with 50mM NaCl, while there was no significant difference in mRNA levels of V-ATPase and NBC1. In addition, immunocytochemical observations showed that apical-NHE3 MR cells were enlarged, and frequently formed multicellular complexes with developed deep apical openings in acidic freshwater with 0mM and 50mM NaCl. These findings suggest that gill MR cells respond to external salinity and pH treatments, by parallel manipulation of osmoregulatory and acid-base regulatory mechanisms.  相似文献

We investigated the involvement of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in mediating V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in gills of alkalotic Squalus acanthias. Immunolabeling revealed that CA is localized in the same cells as V-H(+)-ATPase. Blood plasma from dogfish injected with acetazolamide [30 mg/kg at time (t) = 0 and 6 h] and infused with NaHCO(3) for 12 h (1,000 microeq.kg(-1).h(-1)) had significantly higher plasma HCO(3)(-) concentration than fish that were infused with NaHCO(3) alone (28.72 +/- 0.41 vs. 6.57 +/- 2.47 mmol/l, n = 3), whereas blood pH was similar in both treatments (8.03 +/- 0.11 vs. 8.04 +/- 0.11 pH units at t = 12 h). CA inhibition impaired V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane, as estimated from immunolabeled gill sections and Western blotting on gill cell membranes (0.24 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.00 +/- 0.28 arbitrary units, n = 3; P < 0.05). We investigated V-H(+)-ATPase translocation during a postfeeding alkalosis ("alkaline tide"). Gill samples were taken 24-26 h after dogfish were fed to satiety in a natural-like feeding regime. Immunolabeled gill sections revealed that V-H(+)-ATPase translocated to the basolateral membrane in the postfed fish. Confirming this result, V-H(+)-ATPase abundance was twofold higher in gill cell membranes of the postfed fish than in fasted fish (n = 4-5; P < 0.05). These results indicate that 1) intracellular H(+) or HCO(3)(-) produced by CA (and not blood pH or HCO(3)(-)) is likely the stimulus that triggers the V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in alkalotic fish and 2) V-H(+)-ATPase translocation is important for enhanced HCO(3)(-) secretion during a naturally occurring postfeeding alkalosis.  相似文献

Microvascular endothelial cells involved in angiogenesis are exposed to an acidic environment that is not conducive for growth and survival. These cells must exhibit a dynamic intracellular (cytosolic) pH (pHcyt) regulatory mechanism to cope with acidosis, in addition to the ubiquitous Na+/H+ exchanger and HCO3--based H+-transporting systems. We hypothesize that the presence of plasmalemmal vacuolar-type proton ATPases (pmV-ATPases) allows microvascular endothelial cells to better cope with this acidic environment and that pmV-ATPases are required for cell migration. This study indicates that microvascular endothelial cells, which are more migratory than macrovascular endothelial cells, express pmV-ATPases. Spectral imaging microscopy indicates a more alkaline pHcyt at the leading than at the lagging edge of microvascular endothelial cells. Treatment of microvascular endothelial cells with V-ATPase inhibitors decreases the proton fluxes via pmV-ATPases and cell migration. These data suggest that pmV-ATPases are essential for pHcyt regulation and cell migration in microvascular endothelial cells.  相似文献

Angiogenesis requires invasion of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins by endothelial cells and occurs in hypoxic and acidic environments that are not conducive for cell growth and survival. We hypothesize that angiogenic cells must exhibit a unique system to regulate their cytosolic pH in order to cope with these harsh conditions. The plasmalemmal vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase (pmV-ATPase) is used by cells exhibiting an invasive phenotype. Because angiogenesis is impaired in diabetes, we hypothesized that pmV-ATPase is decreased in microvascular endothelial cells from diabetic rats. The in vitro angiogenesis assays demonstrated that endothelial cells were unable to form capillary-like structures in diabetes. The proton fluxes were slower in cells from diabetic than normal model, regardless of the presence or absence of Na(+) and HCO(3) (-) and were suppressed by V-H(+)-ATPase inhibitors. Immunocytochemical data revealed that pmV-ATPases were inconspicuous at the plasma membrane of cells from diabetic whereas in normal cells were prominent. The pmV-ATPase activity was lower in cells from diabetic than normal models. Inhibition of V-H(+)-ATPase suppresses invasion/migration of normal cells, but have minor effects in cells from diabetic models. These novel observations suggest that the angiogenic abnormalities in diabetes involve a decrease in pmV-ATPase in microvascular endothelial cells.  相似文献

Epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC)-mediated Na(+) absorption and BK channel-mediated K(+) secretion in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) are modulated by flow, the latter requiring an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), microtubule integrity, and exocytic insertion of preformed channels into the apical membrane. As axial flow modulates HCO(3)(-) reabsorption in the proximal tubule due to changes in both luminal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 and H(+)-ATPase activity (Du Z, Yan Q, Duan Y, Weinbaum S, Weinstein AM, Wang T. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 290: F289-F296, 2006), we sought to test the hypothesis that flow also regulates H(+)-ATPase activity in the CCD. H(+)-ATPase activity was assayed in individually identified cells in microperfused CCDs isolated from New Zealand White rabbits, loaded with the pH-sensitive dye BCECF, and then subjected to an acute intracellular acid load (NH(4)Cl prepulse technique). H(+)-ATPase activity was defined as the initial rate of bafilomycin-inhibitable cell pH (pH(i)) recovery in the absence of luminal K(+), bilateral Na(+), and CO(2)/HCO(3)(-), from a nadir pH of ~6.2. We found that 1) an increase in luminal flow rate from ~1 to 5 nl·min(-1)·mm(-1) stimulated H(+)-ATPase activity, 2) flow-stimulated H(+) pumping was Ca(2+) dependent and required microtubule integrity, and 3) basal and flow-stimulated pH(i) recovery was detected in cells that labeled with the apical principal cell marker rhodamine Dolichos biflorus agglutinin as well as cells that did not. We conclude that luminal flow modulates H(+)-ATPase activity in the rabbit CCD and that H(+)-ATPases therein are present in both principal and intercalated cells.  相似文献

To investigate the interaction between the ion channels and transporters in the salivary fluid secretion, we measured the membrane voltage (V(m)) and intracellular concentrations of Ca(2+), Na(+) ([Na(+)](c)), Cl(-), and H(+) (pH(i)) in rat submandibular gland acini (RSMGA). After a transient depolarization induced by a short application of acetylcholine (ACh; 5 muM, 20 s), RSMGA showed strong delayed hyperpolarization (V(h,ACh); -95 +/- 1.8 mV) that was abolished by ouabain. In the HCO(3)(-)-free condition, the V(h,ACh) was also blocked by bumetanide, a blocker of Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC). In the presence of HCO(3)(-) (24 meq, bubbled with 5% CO(2)), however, the V(h,ACh) was not blocked by bumetanide, but it was suppressed by ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA), a Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) inhibitor. Similarly, the ACh-induced increase in [Na(+)](c) was totally blocked by bumetanide in the absence of HCO(3)(-), but only by one-half in the presence of HCO(3)(-). ACh induced a prominent acidification of pH(i) in the presence of HCO(3)(-), and the acidification was further increased by EIPA treatment. Without HCO(3)(-), an application of ACh strongly accelerated the NKCC activity that was measured from the decay of pH(i) during the application of NH(4)(+) (20 mM). Notably, the ACh-induced activation of NKCC was largely suppressed in the presence of HCO(3)(-). In summary, the ACh-induced anion secretion in RSMGA is followed by the activation of NKCC and NHE, resulting an increase in [Na(+)](c). The intracellular Na(+)-induced activation of electrogenic Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase causes V(h,ACh). The regulation of NKCC and NHE by ACh is strongly affected by the physiological level of HCO(3)(-).  相似文献

It is well known that chemotactic agents active Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, increasing intracellular pH of neutrophils, but their effect on bicarbonate transporters have not been established yet. To study the effect of fMLP on the activity of Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange, the rate of pH recovery after acute Cl(-) readmission in cell subjected to an alkaline load by CO(2) washout in a Cl-free medium was measured. The activity of the exchanger was reduced to 72% of control when cells were pre-incubated for 5 min with 0.1 μM fMLP and reached 48% of control in steady state after acute exposure. After extracellular bicarbonate or TMA addition the rate recovery of intracellular pH was reduce at 72% and at 84%, respectively. The inhibitory effect on the intracellular pH recovery was not affected by blockers of Na(+)/H(+) exchange. We conclude from these studies that an increase of pH(i) produced for this chemotactic agent is facilitated by the simultaneous activation of Na(+)/H(+) exchange and inhibition of Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange in neutrophils.  相似文献

Ion transporters such as Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE), Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger (AE), and Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) are known to contribute to the intracellular pH (pH(i)) regulation during agonist-induced stimulation. This study examined the mechanisms for the pH(i) regulation in the mouse parotid and sublingual acinar cells using the fluorescent pH-sensitive probe, BCECF. The pH(i) recovery from agonist-induced acidification in the sublingual acinar cells was completely blocked by EIPA, a NHE inhibitor. However, the parotid acinar cells required DIDS, a NBC1 inhibitor, in addition to EIPA in order to block the pH(i) recovery. Moreover, RT-PCR analysis detected the expression of pancreatic NBC1 (pNBC1) only in the parotid acinar cells. These results provide strong evidence that the mechanisms for the pH(i) regulation are different in the two types of acinar cells, and pNBC1 contributes to pH(i) regulation in the parotid acinar cells, whereas NHE is likely to be the exclusive pH(i) regulator in the sublingual acinar cells.  相似文献

This study examines the contribution of anion transporters to the swelling and intracellular acidification of glial cells from an extracellular lactacidosis, a condition well-known to accompany cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury. Suspended C6 glioma cells were exposed to lactacidosis in physiological or anion-depleted media, and different anion transport inhibitors were applied. Changes in cell volume and intracellular pH (pH(i)) were simultaneously quantified by flow cytometry. Extracellular lactacidosis (pH 6.2) led to an increase in cell volume to 125.1 +/- 2.5% of baseline within 60 min, whereas the pH(i) dropped from the physiological value of 7.13 +/- 0.05 to 6.32 +/- 0.03. Suspension in Cl(-)-free or HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-free media or application of anion transport inhibitors [0.1 mM bumetanide or 0.5 mM 4, 4'-diisothio-cyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)] did not affect cell volume during baseline conditions but significantly reduced cell swelling from lactacidosis. In addition, the Cl(-)-free or HCO(3)(-)/CO(2)-free media and DIDS attenuated intracellular acidosis on extracellular acidification. From these findings it is concluded that besides the known activation of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, activation of the Na(+)-independent Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger and the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter contributes to acidosis-induced glial swelling and the intracellular acidification. Inhibition of these processes may be of interest for future strategies in the treatment of cytotoxic brain edema from cerebral ischemia or traumatic brain injury.  相似文献

The acute effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEi) on proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) function is well documented. However, the effect of chronic treatment is less known. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of chronic ACEi on PCT acidification (J(HCO(3)(-))). Rats received enalapril (10 mg.kg(-1).day(-1), added to the drinking water) during 3 mo. Micropuncture experiments were performed to measure the effect of chronic ACEi on J(HCO(3)(-)). Nitric oxide (NO.) synthesis in kidney cortex homogenates was assessed by quantifying the conversion of [(14)C]-L-arginine to [(14)C]-L-citrulline. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the abundances of V-H(+)ATPase and NHE3 isoform of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger in proximal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Enalapril treatment induced an approximately 50% increase in J(HCO(3)(-)). Luminal perfusion with ethyl-isopropyl amiloride (EIPA) 10(-4)M or bafilomycin 10(-6)M decreased J(HCO(3)(-)) by approximately 60% and approximately 30%, respectively, in both control and enalapril-treated rats. The effect of EIPA and bafilomycin on absolute J(HCO(3)(-)) was larger in enalapril-treated than in control rats. Acute inhibition of NO. synthesis with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester abolished the enalapril-induced increase in J(HCO(3)(-)). Cortex homogenates from enalapril-treated rats displayed a 46% increase in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity compared with those from untreated animals. Enalapril treatment did not affect the abundances of NHE3 and V-H(+)ATPase in BBMV. Our results suggest that PCT acidification is increased during chronic ACEi probably due to an increase in NO. synthesis, which would stimulate Na(+)/H(+) exchange and electrogenic proton transport.  相似文献

Rat pancreatic acini loaded with the pH sensitive fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein were used to characterize intracellular pH (pHi) regulatory mechanisms in these cells. The acini were attached to cover slips and continuously perfused. In 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered solutions recovery from acid load (H+ efflux) required extracellular Na+ (Na+out) and was blocked by amiloride. Likewise, H+ influx initiated by removal of Na+out was blocked by amiloride. Hence, in HEPES-buffered medium the major operative pHi regulatory mechanism is a Na+/H+ exchange. In HCO3(-)-buffered medium, amiloride only partially blocked recovery from acid load and acidification due to Na+out removal. The remaining fraction required Na+out, was inhibited by H2-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfunic acid (H2DIDS) and was independent of C1-. Hence, a transporter with characteristics of a Na(+)-HCO3- cotransport exists in pancreatic acini. Measurement of pHi changes due to Na(+)-HCO3- cotransport, suggests that the transporter contributes to HCO3- efflux under physiological conditions. Changing the Cl- gradient across the plasma membrane of acini maintained in HCO3(-)-buffered solutions reveals the presence of an H2DIDS-sensitive, Na(+)-independent, Cl(-)-dependent, HCO3- transporter with characteristics of a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger. In pancreatic acini the exchanger transports HCO3- but not OH- and under physiological conditions functions to remove HCO3- from the cytosol. In summary, only the Na+/H+ exchanger is functional in HEPES-buffered medium to maintain pHi at 7.28 +/- 0.03. In the presence of 25 mM HCO3- at pHo of 7.4, all the transporters operate simultaneously to maintain a steady-state pHi of 7.13 +/- 0.04.  相似文献
