The teleostean gill is characterized by an exceptionally low permeability to water. Water moves along the osmotic gradient across the gill, being gained in fresh water and lost in sea water. Coupling of water movement to solute movement has not been reported. In fresh water, the gill is the site of independent active uptake of sodium and chloride. Na+ uptake is coupled to H+ or NH4+ excretion, Cl- uptake to HCO3- excretion. Amiloride blocks sodium transport and thiocyanate inhibits the chloride pump. In sea water, sodium and chloride exchanges across the gill are about 100 times faster than in fresh water, up to 100% of the internal sodium or chloride being exchanged per hour. Chloride is actively excreted, while sodium movement may well be passive. The chloride pump is associated with a mechanism for Na/K exchange; both pump and Na/K exchange are blocked by thiocyanate and possibly by ouabain. Three enzymes are involved in the ionic pumps: carbonate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.1; carbonic anhydrase), sodium/potassium-stimulated adenosine-triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3, ATPase) and anion-stimulated ATPase. Specialized cells ('chloride cells') are presumably the site of the active transport.

The isolated rectal gland of Squalus acanthias was stimulated to secrete chloride against an electrical and a chemical gradient when perfused in vitro by theophylline and/or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Chloride secretion was depressed by ouabain which inhibits Na-K-ATPase. Thiocyanate and furosemide also inhibited chloride secretion but ethoxzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, did not. Chloride transport was highly dependent on sodium concentration in the perfusate. The intracellular concentration of chloride averaged 70-80 meq/liter in intact glands, exceeding the level expected at electrochemical equilibrium and suggesting active transport of chloride into the cell. These features suggest a tentative hypothesis for chloride secretion by the rectal gland in which the uphill transport of chloride into the cytoplasm is coupled through a membrane carrier to the downhill movement of sodium along its electrochemical gradient. The latter is maintained by the Na-K-ATPase pump while chloride is extruded into the duct by electrical forces.

A) The proximal nephron and perinatal regulation of extracellular volume. 1. The glomerular capillary permeability coefficient (Kf) changes mainly because of an increasing capillary hydraulic conductance (Lp) within the autoregulatory range of renal perfusion pressure. 2. Proximal tubule hydrostatic hydraulic conductance and response to transmural protein concentration gradients is high during perinatal adaptation. 3. Proximal tubule paracellular shunt pathways are more important for absorption during differentiation than at maturity. 4. Basolateral membrane area of the single epithelial segment (10(-6) micron2 mm-1) increases and the typical basal labyrinth architecture develops. 5. The activity of the transport enzyme Na-K-ATPase increases in parallel to the basolateral membrane area to result in a constant number of enzyme sites during normal ontogeny. B) The distal nephron and perinatal regulation of extracellular osmotic activity. 6. Inner medullary urea content increases at osmotic equilibrium between interstitium and collecting duct. 7. The loop of Henle gradually dilutes the isotonic luminal fluid in the course of perinatal differentiation. 8. The thick ascending segment of the loop of Henle differentiates its anisotonic transport by increasing the Na-Chloride transport at constant hydraulic conductivity. 9. Ultrastructure and N-A-K-ATPase activity of the diluting segment (TAL) change greatly during ontogeny. 10. The centrifugal pattern of renal maturation from the juxtamedullary towards the superficial cortical layers leads to an intracortical profile of structure and function.

The isolated rectal gland of the spiny dogfish is a unique model for the study of active chloride transport. The gland is stimulated to secrete chloride agains an electrical and a chemical gradient when perfused in vitro by theophylline and/or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Chloride secretion is depressed by ouabain which inhibits Na-K-ATPase. Thiocyanate and furosemide also inhibit chloride secretion but ethoxolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, does not. Chloride transport is highly dependent on sodium concentration in the perfusate. The intracellular concentration of chloride in intact glands exceeds the level expected at electrochemical equilibrium, suggesting active transport of chloride into the cell. These features suggest a general hypothesis for chloride secretion in which the uphill transport of chloride into the cytoplasm is coupled through a membrane carrier to the downhill movement of sodium along its electrochemical gradient. The latter is maintained by the Na-K-ATPase pump while chloride is extruded into the duct by electrical forces.

The rectal gland of the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, provides an easily studied model of active chloride transport powered indirectly by Na-K-ATPase. Co-transport of sodium with chloride can be demonstrated in membrane vesicles isolated from basolateral membranes of the gland. Chloride secretion is under the hormonal control of vasoactive intestinal peptide, and possibly other agents, via adenyl cyclase and cyclic AMP. A similar mechanism is probably responsible for the active transport of chloride across other biological membranes.

Electron microprobe analysis on freeze-dried cryosections was used to determine the effect of the loop diuretics torasemide and furosemide on intracellular electrolyte concentrations in individual cells of the outer and inner stripe of the outer medulla and on cell rubidium uptake, the latter a measure of basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity. In addition, the organic osmolytes glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC), betaine, inositol and sorbitol in cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla were measured using HPLC. Both loop diuretics significantly reduced sodium and chloride concentrations and rubidium uptake in thick ascending limb cells, but did not affect sodium concentration or rubidium uptake in the proximal straight tubule (PST) cells or in the light or dark cells of the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD). Chloride concentrations in these cells (that is, PST cells, OMCD light and dark cells) were lowered by loop diuretics, albeit less than in thick ascending limb cells. Administration of both loop diuretics for only 20 minutes was sufficient to significantly depress tissue concentrations of GPC, betaine, and myo-inositol in the outer medulla and of GPC, betaine and sorbitol at the papillary tip. These results indicate that loop diuretics, presumably by blocking apical sodium entry, decrease thick ascending limb cellular sodium concentration and, as a consequence, reduce Na-K-ATPase activity as assessed by cell rubidium uptake. Although this has been shown previously in in vitro preparations, the present study confirms this for the first time in vivo.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Fast and slow K+ efflux components, independently regulated by angiotensin II (AII), have been identified in bovine adrenocortical cells. We have further investigated the role of potassium in the control of aldosterone synthesis in two ways. Firstly, isotopic tracers, in conjunction with channel modulators, have been used to study the interrelationship of K+ and Ca2+ in the control of AII-stimulated aldosterone synthesis. Secondly, electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPXMA) was used to quantify potassium, sodium, chlorine and phosphorous in control and AII-stimulated cells. The effects of verapamil on 43K efflux were measured at two stages during AII stimulation. During the first ten minutes of treatment, when efflux via the fast component predominates, AII and verapamil both slowed efflux and their effects were additive. If verapamil was added later, at the time when efflux by the fast component appeared exhausted and the stimulatory effect of AII on the slow efflux component was apparent, it again slowed efflux. These data suggest that verapamil prevents calcium-gated K+ channels from opening by blocking Ca2+ channels. However, verapamil had no effect on AII-stimulated calcium efflux. In addition to blocking Ca2+ channels, verapamil may directly inhibit potassium efflux. EPXMA showed a bimodal distribution of potassium concentrations in control cells. However, in cells stimulated with AII for five minutes, the mean potassium content was less than in controls and was not bimodally distributed. Sodium content was increased by AII-treatment, chlorine was lowered and phosphorus remained unchanged. The data confirm previous observations that AII inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase activity.

Opercular membranes from freshwater tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) were maintained in vitro for 4 days and exposed to several concentrations of cortisol (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 micrograms/ml). Chloride cell size, number, and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase content were examined using a fluorescent mitochondrial dye (dimethylaminostyrylethylpyridiniumiodine), a fluorescent analogue of ouabain (anthroylouabain) that binds specifically to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, and a cytological stain specific for plasma and tubular membranes. In the absence of cortisol, chloride cell density of the freshwater tilapia opercular membrane decreased (from initial levels of 6,114 +/- 451 to 18 +/- 9 cells/cm2) and was restored by cortisol in a dose-dependent manner. Chloride cell height (5.5 +/- 0.3 microns initially and 7.8 +/- 0.5 microns after 4 days in vitro) increased twofold (13.1 +/- 0.7 microns) after exposure to 1 microgram/ml cortisol. Initially and after 4 days in control medium, there was no detectable staining with anthroylouabain; exposure to 1 microgram/ml cortisol resulted in the appearance of numerous anthroylouabain-positive chloride cells. Without cortisol, Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity of the opercular membrane remained constant through 4 days of culture (0.4-0.6 mumol ADP.mg protein-1.h-1); addition of cortisol caused a dose-dependent increase to a maximum of 1.2 +/- 0.1 mumol Pi.mg protein-1.h-1. In vitro cortisol also maintained the size, density, and appearance of chloride cells from opercular membrane of seawater-adapted tilapia. The results indicate that in vitro cortisol exposure causes morphological and biochemical differentiation of the seawater form of the chloride cell.

The present studies define the physiologic role of endogenous adenosine in the perfused shark rectal gland, a model epithelia for hormone-stimulated chloride transport. Chloride ion secretion, and venous adenosine and inosine concentrations increased in parallel in response to hormone stimulation. From a basal rate of 157 +/- 26 mu eq/h per g, chloride secretion increased to 836 +/- 96 and 2170 +/- 358 with 1 and 10 microM forskolin, venous adenosine increased from 5.0 +/- 1 to 126 +/- 29 and 896 +/- 181 nM, and inosine increased from 30 +/- 9 to 349 +/- 77 and 1719 +/- 454 nM (all P less than 0.01). Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBTI), a nucleoside transport inhibitor, completely blocked the release of adenosine and inosine. Inhibition of chloride transport with bumetanide, an inhibitor of the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter, or ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+/K+ ATPase activity, reduced venous adenosine and inosine to basal values. When the interaction of endogenous adenosine with extracellular receptors was prevented by adenosine deaminase, NBTI, or 8-phenyltheophylline, the chloride transport response to secretagogues increased by 1.7-2.3-fold. These studies demonstrate that endogenous adenosine is released in response to hormone-stimulated cellular work and acts at A1 adenosine receptors as a feedback inhibitor of chloride transport.

The characteristics of the H+ pump in isolated rat renal endocytotic vesicles were studied by the delta pH-sensitive dye acridine orange, the voltage-sensitive dye 3,3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide, and by a coupled optical ATPase assay. Intravesicular acidification depended on ATP and Mg2+ concentrations with half-maximal activations at 73 and 77 microM, respectively. CTP, GTP, UTP, and ITP partially supported acidification, but ADP and AMP did not. Ouabain, ethoxzolamide, levamisole, and vanadate did not inhibit H+ uptake into endocytotic vesicles. Oligomycin inhibited partially. Depending on concentration and preincubation time, Dio-9, filipin, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inhibited H+ uptake completely. Filipin and, partially, DCCD acted nonspecifically by dissipating pH gradients. A specific cation was not required for the H+ pump; Zn2+ inhibited. Compared with mannitol, ATP-driven H+ uptake was stimulated by SCN- greater than Cl- greater than Br- greater than I- much greater than HPO4(2-) = gluconate = HCO3- = F-, but not by SO4(2-), NO3-, CH3COO-, S2O3(2-), and S4O6(2-). Chloride stimulated H+ uptake from the outside of the vesicles with an apparent Km of 27 mM. In the absence of Cl-, ATP-driven proton uptake was increased by intravesicular K+ and valinomycin, suggesting that the pump is electrogenic. The electrogenicity, however, could not be demonstrated with voltage-sensitive dyes. The vesicle membrane contains no significant K+ and Cl- conductances; only a conductance for H+ was found. The vesicles exhibited an ouabain-, oligomycin-, and vanadate-insensitive ATPase activity that was inhibited by DCCD and NEM. Our data indicate the presence of an electrogenic H+ pump in endocytotic vesicles from rat renal proximal tubules with similar characteristics as H+ pumps present in various intracellular (nonmitochondrial) membranes.
