To examine the potential impact of fluid dynamic boundary layers on cutaneous ion exchange, we investigated how bulk flow of dilute Na+ solutions (< or = 1.0 mmol l-1) over the skin of intact frogs (Rana catesbeiana and Rana pipiens) affects cutaneous Na+ uptake (JNa(in)) and transepithelial potential (TEP). Cessation of stirring resulted in a 14-35% decrease in TEP and a 14-65% decrease in JNa(in). Two weeks' acclimation to an unstirred bath increased JNa(in) to levels 70% greater than in frogs acclimated to a continuously stirred bath and to levels comparable to those of frogs acclimated to deionized water. These effects are consistent with depletion of Na+ in the boundary layer, but are also consistent with depletion of O2 in the boundary layer, which might limit generation of ATP consumed by ATPases responsible for cutaneous Na+ uptake. To investigate this latter possibility, we measured TEP and JNa(in) while manipulating the PO2 of well-stirred external media at constant [Na+]. Hyperoxia (PO2 > or = 97 kPa) increased JNa(in) by 28% and had little or no effect on TEP. Hypoxia (PO2 < or = 1.5 kPa) reduced JNa(in) by 48% and decreased TEP by 22%. These results suggest that ionic and gaseous boundary layers may interact to affect cutaneous ion transport.

Exposure of rats to hyperoxia is associated with increased active Na+ transport in rat lungs and increased Na,K-adenosine triphosphate (ATPase) expression in alveolar epithelial cells. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been reported to act as an accelerated model of hyperoxic cell damage. Sublethal and intermittent exposure to HBO, however, has been suggested to upregulate endogenous protective mechanisms. In the present study, we tested whether short-term HBO, prior to inducing lung injury, would upregulate lung Na,K-ATPase. The results show that HBO, either intermittent or single 2.5 h exposure, increased lung Na,K-ATPase alpha-1 and beta-1 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcript levels up to fourfold. Na,K-ATPase activity in lungs of rats exposed to HBO increased twofold during the first 2 h following removal from the hyperbaric chamber, and remained elevated for up to 6 h following HBO. Conceivably, the increase in Na,K-ATPase activity following HBO is due to an increase in activity from a basal to a higher rate, or possibly due to recruitment/translocation of Na,K-ATPases from inner membranes to the plasma membrane.

The recent immunopurification and cloning of various lung Na+ channel proteins has provided the necessary tools to study Na+ transport at a fundamental level across a number of epithelial tissues. Various macroscopic measurements of Na+ transport have shown that Na+ ions enter the cytoplasm of alveolar cells mainly through amiloride-inhibitable Na+ channels. Molecular biology studies have shown the existence of three Na+ channel subunit mRNAs (alpha-, beta-, and gamma-rENaC) in mature fetal (FDLE) and adult alveolar type II (ATII) cells. Patch-clamp studies have demonstrated the existence of various types of amiloride-inhibitable Na+ channels, located in the apical membranes of FDLE and ATII cells. beta-Agonists and agents that enhance intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate levels increase the open probability of these channels, leading to increased Na+ transport across the alveolar epithelium in vivo. Immunopurification of a putative channel protein from adult ATII cells showed that it contains an amiloride-binding subunit with a molecular mass of 150 kDa. When this protein was reconstituted in planar lipid bilayers, it exhibited single channels with a conductance of 25 pS, which were moderately selective for Na+ over K+. The open probability of these channels was increased by the addition of protein kinase A (PKA) and ATP, and was decreased to the same extent by addition of [N-ethyl-N-isopropyl]-2'-4'-amiloride (EIPA) and amiloride (1 microM each) in the apical side of the bilayer, in agreement with the results of patch-clamp studies in ATII cells. Exposure of rats to sublethal hyperoxia increased alpha-rENaC mRNA and the functional expression of Na+ channels in alveolar epithelial cells and limited alveolar edema. These findings indicate that alveolar epithelial channels contain at least one family of amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel proteins, which displays a number of unique properties, including sensitivity to EIPA.

We tested the hypothesis that hyperoxia does not cause adequate constriction of choroidal vessels of the newborn (1 to 5 days old) pig, resulting in increased O2 delivery to the retina, possibly due to excess production and/or effects of vasodilators such as nitric oxide (NO). Hyperoxia (100% O2, 45 minutes) led to a decrease in retinal blood flow (RBF) of both newborn and juvenile (5 to 6 weeks old) pigs and also reduced choroidal blood flow (ChBF) in juvenile but not in newborn pigs; the absence of hyperoxia-induced ChBF response in the newborn was associated with a rise in choroidal O2 delivery. Ibuprofen (prostaglandin G/H synthase inhibitor) and 1,3-dimethyl-2-thiourea (a free radical scavenger) did not modify the choroidal hemodynamic responses to hyperoxia in newborn pigs. However, in newborn animals treated with the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), hyperoxia caused a decrease in blood flow and O2 delivery to the choroid. Consistent with these effects of L-NAME, hyperoxia induced an increase in choroidal cGMP in newborn pigs ventilated with 100% O2 and stimulated nitrite production in isolated choroids exposed to hyperoxia from newborn but not juvenile pigs; these effects were inhibited by NOS blockers. Also, both constitutive and inducible NOS activities were higher in choroidal tissues from newborn than from juvenile animals. In addition, the vasorelaxant effect of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside in vitro was also greater on choroids from newborn than from juvenile pigs. Finally, L-NAME prevented the hyperoxia-induced increase in peroxidation products in the choroid of newborns. It is concluded that hyperoxia does not lead to a decrease in blood flow and O2 delivery to the choroid of the newborn because of increased NO synthesis and effects; since the choroid is the main source of O2 supply to the retina, the present data contribute in providing an explanation for the increased susceptibility of the immature neonate to hyperoxia-induced retinopathy.

Hemodynamic consequences of the withdrawal of arterial chemoreceptor drive (ACD) by brief systemic hyperoxia were studied in 16 mild hypertensive subjects (HT) and in 16 healthy subjects (NT) in horizontal position at resting metabolic rate. In another 9 mild HT and match NT measurements were made in resting sitting position and during steady-state mild physical exercise on cycloergometer, (30% of VO2 max.) Tidal volume, minute ventilation, end tidal CO2 and O2 concentration, K+, Na+, pO2, pCO2 values in blood were recorded. Impedance reography was used for recording stroke volume (SV) and arm blood flow (ABF). Cardiac output (CO), ABF and arterial blood pressure (ABF) values were used for calculation of the total peripheral resistance (TPR) and vascular resistance in the arm (AVR). To assess the neurogenic circulatory response to withdrawal of ACD in HT attenuated by opposite peripheral effects of high oxygen, the values of AVR, ABP, TPR and AVR changes during brief hyperoxia in NT, assumed to be of peripheral origin, were subtracted from respective values in HT, assumed to be of mixed neurogenic and peripheral origin. In HT hyperoxia applied in sitting position produced a brief decrease in systolic and diastolic ABP by 5.4 +/- 0.8% and 3.4 +/- 1.1% respectively, of TPR by 12.4 +/- 3% and of AVR by 4.7 +/- 4.6%. Decrease in AVR during hyperoxia was significantly greater in sitting than in horizontal position. In NT hyperoxia produced opposite effects in ABP, TPR and AVR, as compared to those in HT. In HT subjects during steady-state exercise the TPR decreased by 21 +/- 3.7% reaching a value no different from that in NT. We suggest, that in primary hypertension neurogenic sympathoexcitatory ACD is augmented and interacts with the peripheral mechanisms related to tissue oxygen supply.

1. We sought to determine whether hypoxic stimulation of neurons of the rostral ventrolateral reticular nucleus (RVL) would elevate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in anaesthetized paralysed rats. 2. Microinjection of sodium cyanide (NaCN; 150-450 pmol) into the RVL rapidly (within 1-2 s), transiently, dose-dependently and site-specifically elevated rCBF1 measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, by 61.3 +/- 22.1% (P < 0.01), increased arterial pressure (AP; +30 +/- 8 mmHg; P < 0.01)1 and triggered a synchronized 6 Hz rhythm of EEG activity. 3. Following cervical spinal cord transection, NaCN and also dinitrophenol (DNP) significantly (P < 0.05) elevated rCBF and synchronized the EEG but did not elevate AP; the response to NaCN was attenuated by hyperoxia and deepening of anaesthesia. 4. Electrical stimulation of NaCN-sensitive sites in the RVL in spinalized rats increased rCBF measured autoradiographically with 14C iodoantipyrine (Kety method) in the mid-line thalamus (by 182.3 +/- 17.2%; P < 0.05) and cerebral cortex (by 172.6 +/- 15.6%; P < 0.05) regions, respectively, directly or indirectly innervated by RVL neurons, and in the remainder of the brain. In contrast regional cerebral glucose utilization (rCGU), measured autoradiographically with 14C-2-deoxyglucose (Sokoloff method), was increased in proportion to rCBF in the mid-line thalamus (165.6 +/- 17.8%, P < 0.05) but was unchanged in the cortex. 5. Bilateral electrolytic lesions of NaCN sensitive sites of RVL, while not altering resting rCBF or the elevation elicited by hypercarbia (arterial CO2 pressure, Pa,CO2, approximately 69 mmHg), reduced the vasodilatation elicited by normocapnic hypoxaemia (arterial O2 pressure, Pa,O2, approximately 27 mmHg) by 67% (P < 0.01) and flattened the slope of the Pa,O2-rCBF response curve. 6. We conclude that the elevation of rCBF produced in the cerebral cortex by hypoxaemia is in large measure neurogenic, mediated trans-synaptically over intrinsic neuronal pathways, and initiated by excitation of oxygen sensitive neurons in the RVL.

Alveolar fluid resorption occurs by active epithelial sodium transport and is accelerated by terbutaline in healthy lungs. We investigated the effect of terbutaline on the rate of alveolar fluid resorption from rat lungs injured by hyperoxia. Rats exposed to > 95% O2 for 60 h, sufficient to increase wet-to-dry lung weight and cause alveolar edema, were compared with air-breathing control rats. After anesthesia, the animals breathed 100% O2 for 10 min through a tracheostomy. Ringer solution was instilled into the alveoli, and the steady-state rate of volume resorbed at 6 cmH2O pressure was measured via a pipette attached to the tracheostomy tubing. Ringer solution in some animals contained terbutaline (10(-3) M), ouabain (10(-3) M), or both. Normoxic animals resorbed 49 +/- 6 microliters.kg-1.min-1; ouabain reduced this by 39%, whereas terbutaline increased the rate by 75%. The effect of terbutaline was blocked by ouabain. Hyperoxic animals absorbed 78 +/- 9 microliters.kg-1.min-1; ouabain reduced this by 44%. Terbutaline increased the rate by a mean of 39 microliters.kg-1.min-1, similar to the absolute effect seen in the normoxic group, and this was blocked by ouabain. Terbutaline accelerates fluid resorption from both normal and injured rat lungs via its effects on active sodium transport.

We investigated effects of acute hyperoxia on solute transport from air space to vascular space in isolated rat lungs. Air spaces were filled with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution containing fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran (FD-20; mol wt 20,000) and either 22Na+ and [14C]sucrose, or D-[14C]glucose and L-[3H]glucose. Apparent permeability-surface area products for tracers over time (up to 120 min) were calculated for isolated perfused lungs from control rats (room air) and rats exposed to > 95% O2 for 48 or 60 h immediately postexposure. After O2 exposures, mean fluxes for [14C]sucrose and FD-20 were significantly higher than in room-air control lungs. However, amiloride-sensitive Na+ and active D-glucose fluxes were unchanged after hyperoxic exposure. Therefore, it is unlikely that decreases in net solute transport in this lung-injury model contributed to pulmonary edema resulting from O2 toxicity. Increased net solute transport shown to help resolve pulmonary edema after acute hyperoxic exposure must therefore begin during the recovery period. In summary, our data show increases in passive solute fluxes but no changes in active solute fluxes immediately after acute hyperoxic lung injury.

Alveolar fluid is resorbed using active Na+ transport primarily through basolateral sodium-potassium-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) and apical Na+ channels that are particularly dense on the alveolar type II (ATII) epithelial cells. During lung injury with pulmonary edema, continued or accelerated Na+ and fluid resorption is critical for a favorable outcome. However, little is known of how ATII cell Na+ transport is affected during injury. These experiments examined the effects of acute lung injury on ATII cell Na-K-ATPase activity and expression using an established model of rats exposed to 100% O(2) for 60 h. Na-K-ATPase activity of ATII cells isolated immediately after exposure was assessed by ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb+ uptake in intact cells and by ouabain-sensitive P(i) production by cell membranes. In the presence of 1 mM ouabain, ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake was not different between normoxic and hyperoxic cells, but the apparent Na-K-ATPase maximal velocity (Vmax) of hyperoxic cell membranes was 75 +/- 8% of normoxic membranes (P < 0.05). On Western blots of ATII cell membranes, alpha1-subunit protein significantly decreased with hyperoxia (35 +/- 9% of normoxia; P < 0.05), whereas the amounts of the beta-subunit were unchanged (P > 0.05). On Northern blots of ATII cell total RNA, steady-state levels of both the alpha1- and beta1-subunit mRNA increased after hyperoxia (alpha1 = 2.5 +/- 1.3-fold; beta1 = 4.6 +/- 2.5-fold). Thus despite hyperoxic decreases in Na-K-ATPase Vmax and the amount of alpha1-protein, Rb+ uptake by Na-K-ATPase in intact cells was unchanged. The mRNA levels, protein amounts, and enzyme activity did not respond in parallel to hyperoxic injury, and the activity in intact cells correlated best with the amounts of the beta-subunit, the limiting component in de novo pump assembly in many tissues.

Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are limited in their exercise tolerance by the level of ventilation (VE) they can sustain. We determined whether acutely increasing blood bicarbonate levels decreased acid stimulation to the respiratory chemoreceptors during exercise, thereby improving exercise tolerance. Responses were compared with those obtained during 100% O2 breathing (known to reduce VE in these patients) and to the responses of healthy young subjects. Participants were six patients with severe COPD (forced expired volume in 1 s = 31 +/- 11% predicted) but without chronic CO2 retention and 5 healthy young subjects. Each subject performed three incremental cycle ergometer exercise tests: 1) control, 2) after ingestion of 0.3 g.kg-1 of sodium bicarbonate and 3) while breathing 100% O2. During these tests VE was measured continuously and arterialized venous blood (patients) or arterial blood (healthy subjects) was sampled serially to assess acid base variables. Bicarbonate loading increased standard bicarbonate by 4-6 mmol.L-1 and this elevation persisted during exercise. In both groups, bicarbonate loading resulted in a substantially higher arterial pH; arterial PCO2 was either unchanged (healthy subjects) or mildly (averaging 5 torr) higher (COPD patients). However, in neither group did bicarbonate loading result in an altered VE response to exercise or an increase in exercise tolerance. In contrast, superimposing hyperoxia on bicarbonate ingestion yielded, on average, 24% reduction in VE and 50% increase in peak work rate in the patients (but not in the healthy young subjects). We conclude that acute bicarbonate loading is not an ergogenic aid in patients with severe COPD.
