Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulates Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) activity in opossum kidney proximal tubule (OK) cells by increasing the apical membrane amount of NHE3. This occurs by stimulation of exocytic trafficking of NHE3 to the apical plasma membrane by an E3KARP-dependent mechanism. However, it is still unclear how E3KARP leads to the LPA-induced exocytosis of NHE3. In the current study, we demonstrate that stable expression of exogenous E3KARP increases LPA-induced phospholipase C (PLC) activation and subsequent elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) in opossum kidney proximal tubule (OK) cells. Pretreatment with U73122, a PLC inhibitor, prevented the LPA-induced NHE3 activation and the exocytic trafficking of NHE3. To understand how the elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) leads to the stimulation of NHE3, we pretreated OK cells with BAPTA-AM, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelator. BAPTA-AM completely blocked the LPA-induced increase of NHE3 activity and surface NHE3 amount by decreasing the LPA-induced exocytic trafficking of NHE3. Pretreatment with GF109203X, a PKC inhibitor, did not affect the percent of LPA-induced NHE3 activation and increase of surface NHE3 amount. From these results, we suggest that E3KARP plays a necessary role in LPA-induced PLC activation, and that PLC-dependent elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) but not PKC activation is necessary for the LPA-induced increase of NHE3 exocytosis.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which belongs to the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters and uniquely possesses an additional large cytoplasmic domain [regulatory (R) domain]. CFTR inefficiently folds by means of co- and post-translational interactions with the cytosolic chaperones as well as luminal chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Aberrant folding and defective trafficking of the CFTR protein, which functions as an apical membrane Cl(-) channel, is the principal cause of cystic fibrosis. Recent data indicated that butyrate improves CFTR trafficking partly by regulating molecular chaperones; however, the precise mechanism of butyrate action remains elusive. In the present study, we examine the molecular aspect underlying the butyrate action in CFTR biogenesis by evaluating the expression and localization of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged CFTR transgenes in Cos7 cells. Our data show that butyrate significantly promoted stability of the ER-located form of GFP-wild-type (wt)-CFTR, followed by an increase in the amount of plasma membrane GFP-wt-CFTR. In contrast, the expression of the R domain deletion mutant GFP-DeltaR-CFTR was slightly increased by butyrate. The butyrate action on wt-CFTR expression was partially blocked by PD98059 (2'-amino-3'-methoxyflavone), a specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK/MEK), which is the upstream activator of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Furthermore, activation of ERK/MAPK by the coexpression of constitutively active MAPKK/MEK predominantly augmented the expression of wt-CFTR, but not of DeltaR-CFTR, induced by butyrate. These data suggest that butyrate may facilitate the biogenesis and trafficking of wt-CFTR by requiring the presence of the R domain and further involving active ERK/MAPK in its biogenesis.

Abstract
NHE3, the apical isoform of the Na+/H+ exchanger, is central to the absorption of salt and water across the intestinal epithelium. We report that treatment of epithelial cells with toxin B of Clostridium difficile, a diarrheal pathogen, causes a pronounced inhibition of NHE3 activity, with little effect on the basolateral NHE1 isoform. Depression of NHE3 activity is accompanied by the translocation of apical exchangers to a subapical endomembrane compartment. Treatment of cells with toxin B increased the fraction of exchangers that were solubilized by nonionic detergents and induced dephosphorylation and extensive redistribution of ezrin. The Rho-kinase inhibitor, Y-27632, also altered the distribution and activity of NHE3. We suggest that inactivation of Rho-family GTPases by clostridial toxin B alters the interaction between NHE3 and the microvillar cytoskeleton, possibly by impairing the ability of ezrin to bridge the exchangers to filamentous actin. Detachment of NHE3 from the actin skeleton would facilitate its internalization, resulting in net disappearance from the apical surface. The consequent inhibition of transport is likely to contribute to the diarrheal effects of C. difficile.

Abstract
The epithelial brush border membrane (BBM) Na(+)-H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) is the major transport protein responsible for ileal electroneutral Na(+) absorption. We have previously shown that ileal BBM NHE3 activity is rapidly inhibited by carbachol, an agonist that mimics cholinergic activation in digestion. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in this NHE3 inhibition. Carbachol decreased the amount of ileal Na(+) absorptive cell BBM NHE3 within 10 min of exposure. Based on OptiPrep gradient centrifugation, carbachol increased the amount of NHE3 in early endosomes and decreased the amount of NHE3 in BBM, consistent with effects on NHE3 trafficking. The decrease in BBM NHE3 occurred in the detergent-soluble BBM fraction with no change in the amount of NHE3 in the BBM detergent-resistant membranes. The size of BBM NHE3 complexes increased in carbachol-exposed ileum, as studied with sucrose gradient centrifugation. The NHE3 complex size increased in the total BBM, but did not change in the detergent-soluble fraction. This suggests that carbachol treatment enhanced the association of proteins with NHE3 complexes specifically in the detergent-resistant fraction of ileal BBM. NHERF2, alpha-actinin-4 and protein kinase C were among those NHE3-associated proteins because they were more efficiently coimmunoprecipitated from total BBM after carbachol treatment. Moreover, Src was involved in the carbachol-mediated inhibition since: (1) c-Src was rapidly activated in the detergent-resistant membranes by carbachol; and (2) carbachol inhibition of ileal Na(+) absorption was completely abolished by the Src family inhibitor 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2). Moreover, the carbachol-induced increase in the size of NHE3-containing complexes was reversed by PP2. These data demonstrate that regulation of NHE3 activity by carbachol can be achieved at several interrelated levels: (1) the subcellular level, at which NHE3 is rapidly endocytosed from BBM to endocytic vesicles upon treatment with carbachol; (2) multiple BBM pools, in which carbachol selectively decreases the amount of NHE3 in the BBM detergent-soluble fraction but not the detergent-resistant membrane; and (3) the molecular level, at which NHE3 complex-associated proteins can be changed upon carbachol treatment, with carbachol leading to larger BBM NHE3 complexes and increased co-IP of NHERF2 with alpha-actinin-4 and activated PKC. The study further describes NHE3 presence simultaneously in multiple dynamic BBM pools in which NHE3 distribution and associated proteins are altered as part of carbachol-induced and Src-mediated rapid signal transduction, which decreases the amount of BBM NHE3 and thus inhibits NHE3 activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In intestinal Na absorptive cells, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) is involved in rapid epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation of Na absorption by the brush border membrane (BBM) Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3. However, how NHE3 is regulated by the PI 3-K pathway and the role of Akt2 are poorly defined. METHODS The localization of Akt, PI 3-K, and NHE3 was determined by either immunocytochemistry and/or membrane fractionation using OptiPrep density gradient centrifugation. RESULTS In ileum, active total Akt was present most in the villi and basal layer of the crypts, and Akt2 was mostly in villi. In villus cells, PI 3-K and Akt2 were mostly at the apical surface at which they were present partially in lipid rafts (LR). EGF increased PI 3-K and active Akt2 in ileal BBM at the same time that it increased PI 3-K-dependent trafficking of NHE3 to BBM and stimulation of Na absorption. However, Akt2 was only active in the detergent soluble (DS) pool and not LR of ileal BBM, which correlated with the presence of PTEN in LR. In Caco-2 cells, while EGF stimulated BB NHE3, Akt2 was active in both LR and DS pools. This correlated with the lack of PTEN in the LR of Caco-2 membranes. Akt2 also correlated with epithelial cell differentiation. Akt2 amount and activity were greater in differentiated than undifferentiated Caco-2 cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that LR may play an important role in determining the function of PI 3-K/Akt2 signaling, including stimulation of intestinal Na absorption. These results also suggest that LR-associated Akt2 may be involved in enterocyte differentiation.

Abstract
A novel gene transfer system utilizing polycation liposomes (PCLs), obtained by modifying liposomes with cetyl polyethylenimine (PEI), was previously developed (Gene Ther. 7 (2002) 1148). PCLs show notable transfection efficiency with low cytotoxicity. However, the mechanism of PCL-mediated gene transfer is still unclear. In this study, we examined the intracellular trafficking of PCL-DNA complexes by using HT1080 cells, fluorescent probe-labeled materials, and confocal laser scan microscopy. We found that the PCL-DNA complexes were taken up into cells by the endosomal pathway, since both cellular uptake of the complex and gene expression were blocked by wortmannin, an inhibitor of this pathway. We also observed that the plasmid DNA and cetyl PEI complex became detached from the PCL lipids and was preferentially transferred into the nucleus in the form of the complex, whereas the PCL lipids remained in the cytoplasmic area, possibly in the endosomes. In fact, nigericin, which dissipates the pH gradient across the endosomal membrane, inhibited the detachment of lipids from the PCL-DNA complex and subsequent gene expression. Taken together, our data indicate the following mechanism for gene transfer by PCLs: PCLs effectively transfer DNA to endosomes and release cetyl PEI-DNA complexes into the cytosol. Furthermore, cetyl PEI also contributes to gene entry into the nucleus.

Abstract
In rat ileum and colon, apical membrane Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange and net Cl(-) absorption are stimulated by increases in Pco(2) or [HCO(3)(-)]. Because changes in Pco(2) stimulate colonic Na(+) absorption, in part, by modulating vesicular trafficking of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger type 3 isoform to and from the apical membrane, we examined whether changes in Pco(2) affect net Cl(-) absorption by modulating vesicular trafficking of the Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger anion exchanger (AE)1. Cl(-) transport across rat distal ileum and colon was measured in the Ussing chamber, and apical membrane protein biotinylation of these segments and Western blots of recovered proteins were performed. In colonic epithelial apical membranes, AE1 protein content was greater at Pco(2) 70 mmHg than at Pco(2) 21 mmHg but was not affected by pH changes in the absence of CO(2). AE1 was internalized when Pco(2) was reduced and exocytosed when Pco(2) was increased, and both mucosal wortmannin and methazolamide inhibited exocytosis. Wortmannin also inhibited the increase in colonic Cl(-) absorption caused by an increase in Pco(2). Increases in Pco(2) stimulated ileal Cl(-) absorption, but wortmannin was without effect. Ileal epithelial apical membrane AE1 content was not affected by Pco(2). We conclude that CO(2) modulation of colonic, but not ileal, Cl(-) absorption involves effects on vesicular trafficking of AE1.

Abstract
ABSTRACT. Albumin filtered by the glomerulus is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. We have shown previously that proteinuria stimulates the proximal tubular Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3) in rats. Activation of NHE3 may be a pathophysiologically important factor in the development of renal salt and water retention observed in the nephrotic syndrome. For examining whether albumin is a specific inducer of proximal tubular Na+/H+exchange and to determine the molecular mechanisms by which it regulates Na+/H+exchange, the effect of albumin on NHE3 in opossum kidney cells was studied. Albumin activated Na+/H+exchange in a time- and dose-dependent manner up to 100% in 48 h. In the early phase of stimulation (2 to 12 h), NHE3 activity was increased without changes in NHE3 protein and mRNA. At 24 h, increased NHE3 activity was accompanied by increase in cell surface NHE3 protein. The increase in surface NHE3 was associated with increased bidirectional trafficking of NHE3 protein between intracellular compartments and the cell surface. At 48 h, total cell NHE3 protein abundance and mRNA were increased as well. Whereas NHE3 translation was increased, NHE3 protein half-life remained unchanged. The effects of albumin on NHE3 protein abundance were modified by hydrocortisone in a complicated pattern. These results indicate that albumin directly regulates proximal tubular NHE3 at multiple levels.

Abstract
SUMMARYMembrane transport in insect epithelia appears to be energized through proton-motive force generated by the vacuolar type proton ATPase (V-ATPase). However, secondary transport mechanisms that are coupled to V-ATPase activity have not been fully elucidated. Following a blood meal, the female mosquito regulates fluid and ion homeostasis through a series of characteristic behaviors that require brain-derived factors to regulate ion secretion. Despite the knowledge on the behaviors of the mosquito, little is known of the targets of several factors that have been implicated in cellular changes following a blood meal. This review discusses current models of membrane transport in insects and specific data on mosquito ion regulation together with the molecular aspects of membrane transport systems that are potentially linked to V-ATPase activity, which collectively determine the functioning of mosquito midgut and Malpighian tubules. Ion transport mechanisms will be discussed from a comparative physiology perspective to gain appreciation of the exquisite mechanisms of mosquito ion regulation.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a constitutive high capacity pathway for the reabsorption of proteins from the glomerular filtrate by the renal proximal tubule. ClC-5 is a voltage-gated chloride channel found in the proximal tubule where it has been shown to be essential for protein uptake, based on evidence from patients with Dent's disease and studies in ClC-5 knockout mice. To further delineate the role of ClC-5 in albumin uptake, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen with the C-terminal tail of ClC-5 to identify any interactions of the channel with proteins involved in endocytosis. We found that the C-terminal tail of ClC-5 bound the actin depolymerizing protein, cofilin, a result that was confirmed by GST-fusion pulldown assays. In cultured proximal tubule cells, cofilin was distributed in nuclear, cytoplasmic, and microsomal fractions and co-localized with ClC-5. Phosphorylation of cofilin by overexpressing LIM kinase 1 resulted in a stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton. Phosphorylation of cofilin in two proximal tubule cell models (porcine renal proximal tubule and opossum kidney) was also accompanied by a pronounced inhibition of albumin uptake. This study identifies a novel interaction between the C-terminal tail of ClC-5 and cofilin, an actin-associated protein that is crucial in the regulation of albumin uptake by the proximal tubule.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels (designated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) in C6 glioma cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of NSCCs on the ET-1-induced proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2) phosphorylation in C6 glioma cells. In addition, we examined the effects of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) on the ET-1-induced NSCCs activation and PYK2 phosphorylation. The PI3K inhibitors wortmannin and LY-294002 inhibited ET-1-induced Ca2+ influx through NSCC-2 but not NSCC-1. On the other hand, addition of these inhibitors after stimulation with ET-1 failed to suppress Ca2+ influx through NSCC-2. PYK2 phosphorylation was abolished by blocking Ca2+ influx through NSCCs. The PI3K inhibitors blocked the NSCC-2-dependent part of ET-1-induced PYK2 phosphorylation. These results indicate that 1) NSCC-2 is stimulated by ET-1 via a PI3K-dependent cascade, whereas NSCC-1 is stimulated via a PI3K-independent cascade; 2) PI3K seems to be required for the activation of the Ca2+ entry, but not for its maintenance; 3) Ca2+ influx through NSCC-1 and NSCC-2 plays an essential role in ET-1-induced PYK2 phosphorylation; and 4) PI3K is involved in the ET-1-induced PYK2 phosphorylation that depends on the Ca2+ influx through NSCC-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-concentration angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) activity in renal proximal tubule mainly via angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. The mechanisms that mediate the increase in NHE3 activity elicited by Ang II remain incompletely settled. METHODS To assess a potential role of NHE3 trafficking in the Ang II effect, NHE3 activity was measured by H+-driven initial rate of 22Na uptake resistant to 50 micromol/L of the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor cariporide (HOE642), and sensitive to 300 micromol/L ethyl isopropyl amiloride (EIPA), in a model of cultured proximal tubular cells (MKCC), in which functional apical NHE3 and AT receptors are normally present. Apical expression of NHE3 protein was determined by cell surface biotinylation and immunoblotting. RESULTS Ang II (10-10 mol/L, 43 minutes) increased NHE3 activity and biotinylated NHE3 protein without any change in total amount of NHE3 protein. Both effects were suppressed by specific AT1 receptor antagonists. When 2-mercaptoethanesulphonic acid (MESNA) was used to cleave biotin from all apical proteins, intracellular biotinylated NHE3 protein remained unchanged after Ang II incubation compared to control. When sulfo-N-hydrosuccinimide (NHS)-acetate was used first to block all apical reactive sites, an increase in biotinylated NHE3 protein was observed following Ang II incubation. To evaluate the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), the specific inhibitor wortmannin was used. It suppressed Ang II-induced increase in NHE3 activity and trafficking. Furthermore, latrunculin B, inhibitor of actin filament polymerization, prevented both Ang II stimulatory effects. CONCLUSION Ang II stimulates NHE3 activity, at least in part, by exocytic insertion of the protein into the apical membrane. This effect is mediated by PI 3-kinase and required integrity of actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Nramp2 (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2, also called DMT1 and Slc11a2) is a proton-dependent cation transporter, which plays a central role in iron homeostasis. To study the subcellular distribution and dynamics of the transporter, we generated a construct encoding the long splice variant of Nramp2 (isoform II) tagged with the hemagglutinin epitope on a predicted extracellular loop. Cells stably transfected with this construct revealed the presence of Nramp2 in both the plasma membrane and in an endomembrane compartment. By labeling the exofacial epitope with a pH-sensitive fluorescent indicator, we were able to establish that this variant of Nramp2 resides in a vesicular compartment with an acidic lumen (pH 6.2) and that acidification was maintained by vacuolar-type ATPases. Dual labeling experiments identified this compartment as sorting and recycling endosomes. Kinetic studies by surface labeling with 125I-labeled antibodies established that the fraction of endomembrane Nramp2 was approximately equal to that on the cell surface. The two components are in dynamic equilibrium: surface transporters are internalized continuously via a clathrin and dynamin-dependent process, whereas endosomal Nramp2 is recycled to the plasmalemma by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent exocytic process. Depletion of cholesterol had no discernible effect on Nramp2 internalization, suggesting that rafts or caveolae are not essential. Because the pH at the cell surface and in endosomes differs by >or=1 unit, the rates of transport of Nramp2 at the surface and in endomembrane compartments will differ drastically. Their subcellular colocalization and parallel trafficking suggest that Nramp2 and transferrin receptors are functionally coupled to effect pH-dependent iron uptake across the endosomal membrane.

Abstract
The dopamine transporter (DAT) removes dopamine from the extracellular milieu and is potently inhibited by number of psychoactive drugs, including cocaine, amphetamines, and methylphenidate (Ritalin). Multiple lines of evidence demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC) down-regulates dopamine transport, primarily by redistributing DAT from the plasma membrane to endosomal compartments, although the mechanisms facilitating transporter sequestration are not defined. Here, we demonstrate that DAT constitutively internalizes and recycles in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Temperature blockades demonstrated basal internalization and reliance on recycling to maintain DAT cell surface levels. In contrast, recycling blockade with bafilomycin A1 significantly decreased transferrin receptor (TfR) surface expression but had no effect on DAT surface levels, suggesting that DAT and TfR traffic via distinct endosomal mechanisms. Kinetic analyses reveal robust constitutive DAT cycling to and from the plasma membrane, independent of transporter expression levels. In contrast, phorbol ester-mediated PKC activation accelerated DAT endocytosis and attenuated transporter recycling in a manner sensitive to DAT expression levels. These data demonstrate constitutive DAT trafficking and that PKC-mediated DAT sequestration is achieved by a combination of accelerated internalization and reduced recycling. Additionally, the differential sensitivity to expression level exhibited by constitutive and regulated DAT trafficking suggests that these two processes are mediated by independent cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) kinase A regulatory protein (E3KARP) has been implicated in cAMP- and Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of NHE3. In the current study, a new role of E3KARP is demonstrated in the stimulation of NHE3 activity. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a mediator of the restitution phase of inflammation but has not been studied for effects on sodium absorption. LPA has no effect on NHE3 activity in opossum kidney (OK) proximal tubule cells, which lack expression of endogenous E3KARP. However, in OK cells exogenously expressing E3KARP, LPA stimulated NHE3 activity. Consistent with the stimulatory effect on NHE3 activity, LPA treatment increased the surface NHE3 amount, which occurred by accelerating exocytic trafficking (endocytic recycling) to the apical plasma membrane. These LPA effects only occurred in OK cells transfected with E3KARP. The LPA-induced increases of NHE3 activity, surface NHE3 amounts, and exocytosis were completely inhibited by pretreatment with the PI 3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002. LPA stimulation of the phosphorylation of Akt was used as an assay for PI 3-kinase activity. LY294002 completely prevented the LPA-induced increase in Akt phosphorylation, which is consistent with the inhibitory effect of LY294002 on the LPA stimulation of NHE3 activity. The LPA-induced phosphorylation of Akt was the same in OK cells with and without E3KARP. These results show that LPA stimulates NHE3 in the apical surface of OK cells by a mechanism that is dependent on both E3KARP and PI 3-kinase. This is the first demonstration that rapid stimulation of NHE3 activity is dependent on an apical membrane PDZ domain protein.

Abstract
We have previously shown that prostanoids inhibit electroneutral sodium absorption in Cryptosporidium parvum-infected porcine ileum, whereas glutamine stimulates electroneutral sodium absorption. We postulated that glutamine would stimulate sodium absorption via a cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent pathway. We tested this hypothesis in C. parvum-infected calves, which are the natural hosts of cryptosporidiosis. Tissues from healthy and infected calves were studied in Ussing chambers and analyzed via immunohistochemistry and Western blots. Treatment of infected tissue with selective COX inhibitors revealed that COX-1 and -2 must be blocked to restore electroneutral sodium absorption, although the transporter involved did not appear to be the expected Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 isoform. Glutamine addition also stimulated sodium absorption in calf tissue, but although this transport was electroneutral in healthy tissue, sodium absorption was electrogenic in infected tissue and was additive to sodium transport uncovered by COX inhibition. Blockade of both COX isoforms is necessary to release the prostaglandin-mediated inhibition of electroneutral sodium uptake in C. parvum-infected calf ileal tissue, whereas glutamine increases sodium uptake by an electrogenic mechanism in this same tissue.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel (designated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) in Chinese hamster ovarian cells expressing endothelin(B) receptor (CHO-ET(B)R). These channels can be discriminated using the Ca(2+) channel blockers, LOE 908 and SK&F 96365. LOE 908 is a blocker of NSCC-1 and NSCC-2, whereas SK&F 96365 is a blocker of NSCC-2. In this study, we investigated the possible role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in the ET-1-induced activation of NSCCs in CHO-ET(B)R using wortmannin and LY-294002, inhibitors of PI3K. ET-1-induced Ca(2+) influx was partially inhibited in CHO-ET(B)R pretreated with wortmannin or LY-294002. In contrast, addition of wortmannin or LY-294002 after stimulation with ET-1 did not suppress Ca(2+) influx. The Ca(2+) channels activated by ET-1 in wortmannin- or LY-294002-treated CHO-ET(B)R were sensitive to LOE 908 and resistant to SK&F 96365. In conclusion, NSCC-2 is stimulated by ET-1 via PI3K-dependent cascade, whereas NSCC-1 is stimulated independently of the PI3K pathway. Moreover, PI3K seems to be required for the initiation of the Ca(2+) entry through NSCC-2 but not for its maintenance.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factors, NHERF1 and NHERF2, are structurally related proteins and highly expressed in epithelial cells. These proteins are initially identified as accessory proteins in the regulation of Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3, NHE3. In addition to regulation of NHE3, recent studies demonstrate the importance of NHERF1 and NHERF2 in recycling and localization of membrane receptors, ion channels and transporters. Recent studies show that serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) specifically interacts with NHERF2 but not with NHERF1, adding to the growing number of differences between the two proteins. The association of SGK1 with NHERF2 is necessary for stimulation of NHE3 activity by glucocorticoids. In addition, SGK1 together with NHERF2 stimulates the K+ channel ROMK1, suggesting a broader role of SGK1 in regulation of ion transport.

Abstract
Mammalian Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs) are a family of integral membrane proteins that play central roles in sodium, acid-base, and cell volume homeostasis. The recently cloned NHE5 isoform is expressed predominantly in brain, but its functional and cellular properties are poorly understood. To facilitate its characterization, an epitope-tagged construct of NHE5 was ectopically expressed in nonneuronal and neuronal cells. In NHE-deficient Chinese hamster ovary AP-1 cells, NHE5 localized at the plasmalemma, but a significant fraction accumulated intracellularly in vesicles that concentrated in a juxtanuclear region. Similarly, in nerve growth factor-differentiated neuroendocrine PC12 cells and primary hippocampal neurons, immunolabeling of NHE5 was detected in endomembrane vesicles in the perinuclear region of the cell body but also along the processes. More detailed characterization in AP-1 cells using organelle-specific markers showed that NHE5 co-localized with internalized transferrin, a marker of recycling endosomes. Transient transfection of a dominant negative mutant of dynamin-1, which inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis, blocked uptake of transferrin as well as internalization of NHE5. Likewise, wortmannin inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, a lipid kinase implicated in endosomal traffic, induced coalescence of vesicles containing NHE5 and caused a pronounced inhibition of plasmalemmal Na+/H+ exchange. By contrast, disruption of the F-actin cytoskeleton with cytochalasin D increased cell surface NHE5 activity and abundance. These observations demonstrate that NHE5 is localized to the recycling endosomal pathway and is dynamically regulated by phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase and by the state of F-actin assembly.

Abstract
Mammalian Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE) mediate electroneutral countertransport of H(+) for Na(+) across the plasmalemmal and organellar membranes. They contribute to cellular and organellar pH and volume regulation and transepithelial Na(+) transport. The aim of this review is to illustrate the complex regulation of these transporters by focusing on the multiple mechanisms controlling the epithelial isoform, NHE3. A variety of agents and conditions (e.g., hormones, growth factors, cellular pH, and medium osmolarity) act in concert to achieve short-term and long-term regulation of this isoform. The underlying mechanism involves changes in the number of transporters on the cell surface and/or altered activity of the individual exchangers due to allosteric activation by intracellular protons, phosphorylation and interaction with accessory proteins and the cytoskeleton. A similar regulatory versatility probably applies to other NHE isoforms, and the lessons learned from studying members of the NHE family could serve as a useful reference when exploring the modes and levels of regulation of other transporters.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel (designated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) and a store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOCC) in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing endothelin(A) receptor (CHO-ET(A)R). In addition, these channels can be discriminated using Ca(2+) channel blockers (R,S)-(3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-isochinolin-1-yl)-2-phenyl-N,N-di[2-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]acetamid mesylate (LOE 908) and 1-(beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1H-imidazole (SK&F 96365). LOE 908 is a blocker of NSCC-1 and NSCC-2, whereas SK&F 96365 is a blocker of SOCC and NSCC-2. In this study, we investigated the effects of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) on the ET-1-induced activation of these channels and mitogenesis in CHO-ET(A)R using wortmannin and 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (LY 294002), inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). ET-1-induced Ca(2+) influx was partially inhibited in CHO-ET(A)R pretreated with wortmannin or LY 294002. In contrast, addition of wortmannin or LY 294002 after stimulation with ET-1 did not suppress Ca(2+) influx. The Ca(2+) channels activated by ET-1 in wortmannin or LY 294002-treated CHO-ET(A)R were sensitive to LOE 908 and resistant to SK&F 96365. Wortmannin also partially inhibited ET-1-induced mitogenesis. LOE 908, but not SK&F 96365, abolished the wortmannin-resistant part of mitogenesis. The IC(50) values (~30 nM) of wortmannin for the ET-1-induced Ca(2+) influx and mitogenesis were similar to those for the ET-1-induced PI3K activation. In conclusion, NSCC-2 and SOCC are stimulated by ET-1 via PI3K-dependent cascade, whereas NSCC-1 is stimulated via PI3K-independent cascade. Moreover, PI3K seems to be required for the activation of the Ca(2+) entry, but not for its maintenance. In addition, PI3K is involved in the ET-1-induced mitogenesis that depends on the extracellular Ca(2+) influx through SOCC and NSCC-2.

Abstract
We examined for vesicular trafficking of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) in pH-stimulated ileal and CO(2)-stimulated colonic Na(+) absorption. Subapical vesicles in rat distal ileum were quantified by transmission electron microscopy at x27,500 magnification. Internalization of ileal apical membranes labeled with FITC-phytohemagglutinin was assessed using confocal microscopy, and pH-stimulated ileal Na(+) absorption was measured after exposure to wortmannin. Apical membrane protein biotinylation of ileal and colonic segments and Western blots of recovered proteins were performed. In ileal epithelial cells incubated in HCO/Ringer or HEPES/Ringer solution, the number of subapical vesicles, the relative quantity of apical membrane NHE isoforms 2 and 3 (NHE2 and NHE3, respectively), and apical membrane fluorescence under the confocal microscope were not affected by pH values between 7.1 and 7.6. Wortmannin did not inhibit pH-stimulated ileal Na(+) absorption. In colonic epithelial apical membranes, NHE3 protein content was greater at a PCO(2) value of 70 than 21 mmHg, was internalized when PCO(2) was reduced, and was exocytosed when PCO(2) was increased. We conclude that vesicle trafficking plays no part in pH-stimulated ileal Na(+) absorption but is important in CO(2)-stimulated colonic Na(+) absorption.

Abstract
Cell biological approaches were used to examine the location and function of the brush border (BB) Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 in the opossum kidney (OK) polarized renal proximal tubule cell line. NHE3 epitope tagged with the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein epitope (NHE3V) was stably expressed and called OK-E3V cells. On the basis of cell surface biotinylation studies, these cells had 10-15% of total NHE3 on the BB. Intracellular NHE3V largely colocalized with Rab11 and to a lesser extent with EEA1. The BB location of NHE3V was examined by confocal microscopy relative to the lectins wheat germ aggluttinin (WGA) and phytohemagluttin E (PHA-E), as well as the B subunit of cholera toxin (CTB). The cells were pyramidal, and NHE3 was located in microvilli in the center of the apical surface. In contrast, PHA-E, WGA, and CTB were diffusely distributed on the BB. Detergent extraction showed that total NHE3V was largely soluble in Triton X-100, whereas virtually all surface NHE3V was insoluble. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation demonstrated that total NHE3V migrated at the same size as approximately 400- and approximately 900-kDa standards, whereas surface NHE3V was enriched in the approximately 900-kDa form. Under basal conditions, NHE3 cycled between the cell surface and the recycling pathway through a phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase-dependent mechanism. Measurements of surface and intracellular pH were obtained by using FITC-WGA. Internalization of FITC-WGA occurred largely into the juxtanuclear compartment that contained Rab11 and NHE3V. pH values on the apical surface and in endosomes in the presence of the NHE3 blocker, S3226, were elevated, showing that NHE3 functioned to acidify both compartments. In conclusion, NHE3V in OK cells exists in distinct domains both in the center of the apical surface and in a juxtanuclear compartment. In the BB fraction, NHE3 is largely in the detergent-insoluble fraction in lipid rafts and/or in large heterogenous complexes ranging from approximately 400 to approximately 900 kDa.

Abstract
Insulin is an important regulator of renal salt and water excretion, and hyperinsulinemia has been implicated to play a role in hypertension. One of the target proteins of insulin action in the kidney is Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3), a principal Na(+) transporter responsible for salt absorption in the mammalian proximal tubule. The molecular mechanisms involved in activation of NHE3 by insulin have not been studied so far. In opossum kidney (OK) cells, insulin increased Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. This effect is due to activation of NHE3 as it persisted after pharmacological inhibition of NHE1 and NHE2. In the early phase of stimulation (2-12 h), NHE3 activity was increased without changes in NHE3 protein and mRNA. At 24 h, enhanced NHE3 activity was accompanied by an increase in total and cell surface NHE3 protein and NHE3 mRNA abundance. All the effects of insulin on NHE3 activity, protein, and mRNA were amplified in the presence of hydrocortisone. These results suggest that insulin stimulates renal tubular NHE3 activity via a biphasic mechanism involving posttranslational factors and an increase in NHE3 gene expression and the effects are dependent on the permissive action of hydrocortisone.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis (RME) is important for macromolecular transport and regulation of cell-surface protein expression. Pharmacological studies have shown that the plasma membrane transport protein Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3), which shuttles between the plasma membrane and the early endosomal compartment by means of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, contributes to endosomal pH homeostasis and endocytic fusion events. Furthermore, it is known that NHE3 is phosphorylated and inhibited by cAMP-dependent kinase (protein kinase A). Here, we show, in a cellular knockout/retransfection approach, that NHE3 supports RME and confers cAMP sensitivity to RME, using megalin/cubilin-mediated albumin uptake in opossum kidney cells. RME, but not fluid-phase endocytosis, was dependent on NHE3 activity and expression. Furthermore, NHE3 deficiency or inhibition reduced the relative surface expression of megalin without altering total expression. In wild-type cells, cAMP inhibits NHE3 activity, leads to endosomal alkalinization, and reduces RME. In NHE3-deficient cells, endosomal pH is not sensitive to NHE3 inhibition, and cAMP does not affect endosomal pH or RME. NHE3 transfection into deficient cells restores RME and the effects of cAMP. Thus our data show that NHE3 is important for cAMP sensitivity of clathrin-dependent RME.

Abstract
Two PDZ domain-containing proteins, NHERF and E3KARP are necessary for cAMP-dependent inhibition of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3). In this study, we demonstrate a specific role of E3KARP, which is not duplicated by NHERF, in Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of NHE3 activity. NHE3 activity is inhibited by elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in PS120 fibroblasts stably expressing E3KARP but not those expressing NHERF. In addition, this Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition requires Ca(2+)-dependent association between alpha-actinin-4 and E3KARP. NHE3 is indirectly connected to alpha-actinin-4 in a protein complex through Ca(2+)-dependent interaction between alpha-actinin-4 and E3KARP, which occurs through the actin-binding domain plus spectrin repeat domain of alpha-actinin-4. Elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) results in oligomerization and endocytosis of NHE3 as well as in inhibition of NHE3 activity. Overexpression of alpha-actinin-4 potentiates the inhibitory effect of ionomycin on NHE3 activity by accelerating the oligomerization and endocytosis of NHE3. In contrast, overexpression of the actin-binding domain plus spectrin repeat domain acts as a dominant-negative mutant and prevents the inhibitory effect of ionomycin on NHE3 activity as well as the oligomerization and internalization of NHE3. From these results, we propose that elevated Ca(2+) inhibits NHE3 activity through oligomerization and endocytosis of NHE3, which occurs via formation of an NHE3-E3KARP-alpha-actinin-4 complex.

Although Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been shown to regulate the activity of NHE3, the potential reciprocal interaction of NHE3 to modulate the protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent regulation of CFTR in epithelial cells is still unknown. In the present work, we describe experiments to define the interactions between CFTR and NHE3 with the regulatory, scaffolding protein, NHERF that organize their PKA-dependent regulation in a renal epithelial cell line that expresses endogenous CFTR. The expression of rat NHE3 significantly decreased PKA-dependent activation of CFTR without altering CFTR expression, and this decrease was prevented by mutation of either of the two rat NHE3 PKA target serines to alanine (S552A or S605A). Inhibition of CFTR expression by antisense treatment resulted in an acute decrease in PKA-dependent regulation of NHE3 activity. CFTR, NHE3, and ezrin were recognized by NHERF-2 but not NHERF-1 in glutathione S-transferase pull-down experiments. Ezrin may function as a protein kinase A anchoring protein (AKAP) in this signaling complex, because blocking the binding of PKA to an AKAP by incubation with the S-Ht31 peptide inhibited the PKA-dependent regulation of CFTR in the absence of NHE3. In the A6-NHE3 cells S-Ht31 blocked the PKA regulation of NHE3 whereas it now failed to affect the regulation of CFTR. We conclude that CFTR and NHE3 reciprocally interact via a shared regulatory complex comprised of NHERF-2, ezrin, and PKA.

Abstract
Several signal transduction pathways have been implicated in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), yet the signal transduction mechanisms behind the maintenance-expression phase of LTP are still poorly understood. We investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) in LTP at Schaffer collateral/commissural fiber-CA1 synapses in rat hippocampal slices using biochemical approaches and extracellular electrophysiological recordings. We observed that PI3-kinase activity was induced in the CA1 region during LTP of field EPSPs (fEPSPs) and that two structurally unrelated PI3-kinase inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin, abated established LTP, suggesting that PI3-kinase is involved in the maintenance-expression phase of LTP. However, LTP recovered after washout of the reversible PI3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, confirming that LTP maintenance and expression are distinct events and indicating that PI3-kinase activity is required for LTP expression rather than for its maintenance. Interestingly, preincubation with LY294002 did not prevent LTP induction. In fact, if LY294002 was withdrawn 5 min after high-frequency stimulation, an LTP of fEPSP was seen. Last, a voltage-dependent calcium channel-dependent form of LTP in the CA1 could also be reversibly abated by LY294002, raising the possibility that PI3-kinase could be required for the expression of multiple forms of synaptic potentiation.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the first intracellular Na(+)/H(+) exchanger in yeast, Nhx1, multiple homologs have been cloned and characterized in plants. Together, studies in these organisms demonstrate that Nhx1 is located in the prevacuolar/vacuolar compartment of cells where it sequesters Na(+) into the vacuole, regulates intravesicular pH, and contributes to vacuolar biogenesis. In contrast, the human homolog of Nhx1, Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 6 (NHE6), has been reported to localize to mitochondria when transiently expressed as a fusion with green fluorescent protein. This result warrants reevaluation because it conflicts with predictions from phylogenetic analyses. Here we demonstrate that when epitope-tagged NHE6 is transiently expressed in cultured mammalian cells, it does not colocalize with mitochondrial markers. It also does not colocalize with markers of the lysosome, late endosome, trans-Golgi network, or Golgi cisternae. Rather, NHE6 is distributed in recycling compartments and transiently appears on the plasma membrane. These results suggest that, like its homologs in yeast and plants, NHE6 is an endosomal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger that may regulate intravesicular pH and volume and contribute to lysosomal biogenesis.

Abstract
Acute hypertension rapidly decreases proximal tubule (PT) Na(+) reabsorption, facilitated by a redistribution of PT Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE3) out of the apical brush border, increasing NaCl at the macula densa, the signal for autoregulation of renal blood flow and GFR. This study aimed to determine whether NHE3 activity per transporter decreases during acute hypertension and the time dependence of the response. Blood pressure was elevated by 50-60 mmHg in male Sprague-Dawley rats for 5 or 30 min by constricting arteries. Renal cortical membranes were fractionated by density gradient centrifugation. NHE3 transport activity was assayed as the rate of appearance of acridine orange (AO) from AO-loaded vesicles in response to an inwardly directed Na(+) gradient. After 5-min hypertension, 20% of total NHE3 protein, assayed by immunoblot, redistributed from low-density apical membranes to middensity membranes enriched in intermicrovillar cleft markers; by 30 min, a similar percentage shifted to heavier density membranes containing markers of endosomes. NHE3 activity shifted to higher density membranes along with NHE3 protein, that is, no change in activity/transporter during acute hypertension. Confocal analysis of NHE3 distribution also verified removal from apical microvilli and appearance in subapical vesicles. We conclude that the decrease in renal PT Na(+) transport during acute hypertension is mediated by removal of transport-competent NHE3 from the apical brush border to subapical and internal reserves.

Abstract
Allosteric control of Na(+)/H(+) exchange by intracellular protons ensures rapid and accurate regulation of the intracellular pH. Although this allosteric effect was heretofore thought to occur almost instantaneously, we report here the occurrence of a slower secondary activation of the epithelial Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE)-3 isoform. This slow activation mode developed over the course of minutes and was unique to NHE3 and the closely related isoform NHE5, but was not observed in NHE1 or NHE2. Activation of NHE3 was not due to increased density of exchangers at the cell surface, nor was it accompanied by detectable changes in phosphorylation. The association of NHE3 with the cytoskeleton, assessed by its retention in the detergent-insoluble fraction, was similarly unaffected by acidification. In contrast to the slow progressive activation elicited by acidification, deactivation occurred very rapidly upon restoration of the physiological pH. We propose that NHE3 undergoes a slow pH-dependent transition from a less active to a more active state, likely by changing its conformation or state of association.

Abstract
The stimulative effect of glucocorticoids on intestinal salt and water absorption has been known for more than two decades. However, molecular mechanisms underlying this activation remain elusive. Previous studies showed that methylprednisolone specifically increased Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform (NHE) 3 mRNA in ileum and kidney without affecting NHE1 mRNA levels. These results suggest that glucocorticoids activate NHE3 activity by induction of NHE3 transcripts. We recently found in PS120 and opossum kidney cells that chronic incubation with dexamethasone activated NHE3 independent of gene induction, indicating that the transcriptional activation may not be the only determining factor in the NHE3 activation. Furthermore, dexamethasone activated NHE3 activity only in the presence of a NHE3 regulatory protein, NHERF2, which was previously shown to confer cAMP-dependent inhibition of NHE3. This activation of NHE3 could not be duplicated by NHERF1. We identified serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase, SGK1, as the protein interacting with PDZ domains of NHERF2 to regulate NHE3 activity. The expression of SGK1 enhanced NHE3 transport in PS120 fibroblasts. In addition, the "kinase-dead" SGK1 blocked activation of NHE3 by dexamethasone in opossum kidney cells. These data demonstrated that glucocorticoid activation of NHE3 requires the activation of SGK1 and the presence of NHERF2 acting as a scaffold protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We examined whether CO2 affects colonic Na+ absorption by endosome recycling of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3. METHODS Rat distal colon segments exposed to various acid-base conditions were examined by transmission electron microscopy at 27,500x magnification and subapical vesicles quantified. Immunocytochemistry was used to identify vesicular NHE3. Endocytosis was tested for by observing internalization of apical membrane labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate-phytohemagglutinin and Cy-3-NHE3 antibody using confocal microscopy. The effects of mucosal 5-(N,N-dimethyl)-amiloride (DMA), which inhibits NHE2 and/or NHE3, and wortmannin, which inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, on CO2-stimulated Na+ absorption were measured in the Ussing chamber. RESULTS The number of (coated and uncoated) subapical vesicles in epithelial cells was specifically and inversely related to net colonic Na+ absorption and PCO2. Immunoperoxidase labeling localized NHE3 on microvilli and vesicle membranes. Under the confocal microscope, a fluorescent band along apical membranes at PCO2 70 mm Hg became a subapical haze at PCO2 21 mm Hg. This pattern was not affected by carbonic anhydrase inhibition or when pH or [HCO3-] was changed, but PCO2 was held constant. DMA inhibition indicated that NHE3 mediates CO2-stimulated Na+ absorption. Wortmannin inhibited CO2-stimulated vesicle movement (exocytosis) and Na+ absorption. CONCLUSIONS CO2 affects Na+ absorption in rat distal colon epithelium in part by modulating the movement of NHE3-containing vesicles to and from the apical membrane.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity has been implicated in fundamental cellular functions such as endosomal trafficking, growth-factor receptor signal transduction, and cell survival. This multiplicity of actions can be attributed to the existence of three classes of PI 3-kinases in mammalian cells, which can together lead to the production of four known distinct end products: PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,5)P2. The challenge of deciphering the connection between PI 3-kinase activity, the production of specific phosphoinositides and the control of specific cellular events is being met with the discovery of novel structural motifs that interact specifically with distinct PI 3-kinase products.

Abstract
The Na(+)/H(+) exchangers NHE2 and NHE3 are involved in epithelial Na(+) and HCO absorption. To increase insights into the functions of NHE2 vs. NHE3, we compared their cellular processing with each other and with the housekeeping isoform NHE1. Using biotinylated exchanger, we determined that the half-life of plasma membrane NHE2 was short (3 h) compared with that of NHE1 (24 h) and NHE3 (14 h) in both PS120 fibroblasts and Caco-2 cells. NHE2 transport and plasma membrane levels were reduced by 3 h of Brefeldin A treatment, whereas NHE1 was unaffected. NHE2 was degraded by the lysosomes but not proteosomes, as demonstrated by increasing levels of endocytosed NHE2 protein after inhibition of the lysosomes, but not with proteosome inhibition. Unlike that of NHE3, basal NHE2 transport activity was not affected by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibition and did not appear to be localized in the juxtanuclear recycling endosome. Therefore, for NHE2, protein degradation and/or protein synthesis probably play important roles in its basal and regulated states. These results suggest fundamental differences in the cellular processing and trafficking of NHE2 and NHE3. These differences may underlie the specialized roles that these exchangers play in epithelial cells.

Abstract
The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 isoform mediates the entry of Na(+) into epithelial cells of the kidney and gastrointestinal tract. Hormones and pharmacological agents that activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) are potent inhibitors of native and ectopically expressed NHE3 in epithelial and Chinese hamster ovary AP-1 cells, respectively. Previous studies have shown that acute inhibition is coupled to direct phosphorylation of the exchanger, but this only partly accounts for the observed effects. In this report, we show that inhibition of NHE3 activity by forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, occurs without changes in surface expression of the exchanger but is associated with altered cytoskeletal structure. This effect resembles that obtained with cytochalasin D or latrunculin B, actin disrupting agents that also inhibit NHE3. Such similarities prompted us to further investigate the relationship between PKA-induced inhibition of the exchanger and changes in the actin cytoskeleton. Inhibition of NHE3 by cytochalasin D does not require PKA, because the inhibitory effect is preserved in a mutant NHE3 that is not phosphorylated by PKA and in cells pretreated with the PKA inhibitor H89. In contrast, involvement of actin in the effect of cAMP on the exchanger is supported by the following observations: (i) jasplakinolide, an F-actin stabilizer, prevents the inhibition caused by forskolin, and (ii) constitutively active forms of RhoA and Rho kinase interfere with actin disruption by forskolin and also decrease inhibition of the transporter. These results suggest that reorganization of the cytoskeleton by PKA is involved in mediating inhibition of NHE3.

Abstract
In an attempt to understand the mechanism underlying the tissue-dependent function, the expression of NHE-1 protein and its sub cellular localization was examined in the rat GI-tract and other tissues. Rat NHE-1 polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits using a NHE-1 fusion protein antigen. The antibodies recognized a 110 kD protein in rats and mice, but not in human or rabbit RBCs. Colon, stomach, brain, spleen and kidney expressed NHE-1 protein abundantly, whereas the skeletal muscle the least abundant. Ouabain-sensitive-K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (PNPPase), the partial activity of the sodium pump and alkaline phosphatase (Apase) were used as the markers of the basolateral and apical membranes. NHE-1 was detected predominantly in the PNPPase enriched membrane fractions, but was also detected in the apical membrane enriched fractions in the kidney cortex, jejunum and colon at a lower level. NHE-1 was detected in the plasma membrane enriched fractions from the skeletal muscle and ventricle. Immunofluorescence data showed a similar localization pattern of NHE-1 in the colon and kidney sections. These findings suggest that NHE-1 is localized both on the apical and basolateral membrane. In view of its similar sub cellular localization in the GI-tract and kidney, but a different level of expression, might suggest that the level of protein, but not the sub cellular distribution is important to regulate its tissue-dependent function.

Abstract
Although the precise mechanisms have yet to be elucidated, early events in osmotic signal transduction may involve the clustering of cell surface receptors, initiating downstream signaling events such as assembly of focal adhesion complexes, and activation of, e.g. Rho family GTPases, phospholipases, lipid kinases, and tyrosine- and serine/threonine protein kinases. In the present paper, we briefly review recent evidence regarding the possible relation between such signaling events, the F-actin cytoskeleton, and volume-regulatory membrane transporters, focusing primarily on our own work in Ehrlich ascites tumer cells (EATC). In EATC, cell shrinkage is associated with an increase, and cell swelling with a decrease in F-actin content, respectively. The role of the F-actin cytoskeleton in cell volume regulation in various cell types has largely been investigated using cytochalasins to disrupt F-actin and highly varying effects have been reported. Findings in EATC show that the effect of cytochalasin treatment cannot always be assumed to be F-actin depolymerization, and that, moreover, there is no well-defined correlation between effects of cytochalasins on F-actin content and their effects on F-actin organization and cell morphology. At a concentration verified to depolymerize F-actin, cytochalasin B (CB), but not cytochalasin D (CD), inhibited the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) and regulatory volume increase (RVI) processes in EATC. This suggests that the effect of CB is related to an effect other than F-actin depolymerization, possibly its F-actin severing activity.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is a key hormone in mammalian sodium homeostasis. DA induces natriuresis via acute inhibition of the renal proximal tubule apical membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3. We examined the mechanism by which DA inhibits NHE3 in a renal cell line. DA acutely decreases surface NHE3 antigen in dose- and time-dependent fashion without altering total cellular NHE3. Although DA(1) receptor agonist alone decreases surface NHE3, simultaneous DA(2) agonist synergistically enhances the effect of DA(1). Decreased surface NHE3 antigen, caused by stimulation of NHE3 endocytosis, is dependent on intact functioning of the GTPase dynamin and involves increased binding of NHE3 to the adaptor protein AP2. DA-stimulated NHE3 endocytosis can be blocked by pharmacologic or genetic protein kinase A inhibition or by mutation of two protein kinase A target serines (Ser-560 and Ser-613) on NHE3. We conclude that one mechanism by which DA induces natriuresis is via protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of proximal tubule NHE3 leading to endocytosis of NHE3 via clathrin-coated vesicles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonates have a lower Na+/H+ antiporter activity on the apical membrane of proximal tubule than that of adults. The maturational increase in Na+/H+ antiporter activity occurs at the time when there is a rise in serum glucocorticoid levels in rats. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether glucocorticoids are responsible for the postnatal increase in Na+/H+ antiporter activity. METHODS Nine-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were compared with rats studied at 30 days of age who had either a sham operation or adrenalectomy (ADX) at nine days of age and with rats that had an adrenalectomy and physiologic corticosterone replacement (ADX-Cort) to determine whether glucocorticoid deficiency prevented the maturational increase in Na+/H+ antiporter activity. Na+/H+ antiporter activity was measured in proximal convoluted tubules perfused in vitro by the change in cell pH (pHi) following luminal sodium removal. NHE3 mRNA abundance was measured using Northern blot analysis, and NHE3 protein abundance was measured by immunoblot. RESULTS Na+/H+ antiporter activity was 93.8 +/- 17.7, 157.0 +/- 18.0, 356.7 +/- 29.9, and 402.5 +/- 14.5 pmol/mm. min in nine-day-old, ADX, ADX-Cort, and sham control groups, respectively. The ADX-Cort and sham control were higher than the 9-day-old and the 30-day-old ADX group (P < 0.05). Brush-border membrane NHE3 protein abundance in the nine-day-old and ADX groups were sixfold less than ADX-Cort and sham control groups (P < 0.001). Nine-day-old neonates had fivefold less renal cortical NHE3 mRNA than the ADX, ADX-Cort, and sham-operated control groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that glucocorticoids play a role in the postnatal maturation of the proximal tubule Na+/H+ antiporter activity and brush-border membrane NHE3 protein abundance. Glucocorticoid deficiency does not completely prevent the maturational increase in Na+/H+ antiporter activity and does not affect NHE3 mRNA abundance.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) activity is exquisitely dependent on the intra- and extracellular concentrations of Na+ and H+. In addition, Cl- ions have been suggested to modulate NHE activity, but little is known about the underlying mechanism, and the Cl- sensitivity of the individual isoforms has not been established. To explore their Cl- sensitivity, types 1, 2, and 3 Na+/H+ exchangers (NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3) were heterologously expressed in antiport-deficient cells. Bilateral replacement of Cl- with nitrate or thiocyanate inhibited the activity of all isoforms. Cl- depletion did not affect cell volume or the cellular ATP content, which could have indirectly altered NHE activity. The number of plasmalemmal exchangers was unaffected by Cl- removal, implying that inhibition was due to a decrease in the intrinsic activity of individual exchangers. Analysis of truncated mutants of NHE1 revealed that the anion sensitivity resides, at least in part, in the COOH-terminal domain of the exchanger. Moreover, readdition of Cl- into the extracellular medium failed to restore normal transport, suggesting that intracellular Cl- is critical for activity. Thus interaction of intracellular Cl- with the COOH terminus of NHE1 or with an associated protein is essential for optimal activity.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is a cytoplasmic signaling molecule that is recruited to activated growth factor receptors and has been shown to be involved in regulation of stimulated exocytosis and endocytosis. One of the downstream signaling molecules activated by PI 3-kinase is the protein kinase Akt. Previous studies have indicated that PI 3-kinase is necessary for basal Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) transport and for fibroblast growth factor-stimulated NHE3 activity in PS120 fibroblasts. However, it is not known whether activation of PI 3-kinase is sufficient to stimulate NHE3 activity or whether Akt is involved in this PI 3-kinase effect. We used an adenoviral infection system to test the possibility that activation of PI 3-kinase or Akt alone is sufficient to stimulate NHE3 activity. This hypothesis was investigated in PS120 fibroblasts stably expressing NHE3 after somatic gene transfer using a replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus containing constitutively active catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase or constitutively active Akt. The adenovirus construct used was engineered with an upstream ecdysone promoter to allow time-regulated expression. Adenoviral infection was nearly 100% at 48 h after infection. Forty-eight hours after infection (24 h after activation of the ecdysone promoter), PI 3-kinase and Akt amount and activity were increased. Increases in both PI 3-kinase activity and Akt activity stimulated NHE3 transport. In addition, a membrane-permeant synthetic 10-mer peptide that binds polyphosphoinositides and increases PI 3-kinase activity similarly enhanced NHE3 transport activity and also increased the percentage of NHE3 on the plasma membrane. The magnitudes of stimulation of NHE3 by constitutively active PI 3-kinase, PI 3-kinase peptide, and constitutively active Akt were similar to each other. These results demonstrate that activation of PI 3-kinase or Akt is sufficient to stimulate NHE3 transport activity in PS120/NHE3 cells.

Abstract
The Dictyostelium p110-related PI 3-kinases, PIK1 and PIK2, regulate the endosomal pathway and the actin cytoskeleton, but do not significantly regulate internalization of particles in D. discoideum. Bacteria internalized into (Δ)ddpik1/ddpik2 cells or cells treated with PI 3-kinase inhibitors remained intact as single particles in phagosomes with closely associated membranes after 2 hours of internalization, while in control cells, bacteria appeared degraded in multi-particle spacious phagosomes. Addition of LY294002 to control cells, after 60 minutes of chase, blocked formation of spacious phagosomes, suggesting PI 3-kinases acted late to regulate spacious phagosome formation. Phagosomes purified from control and drug treated cells contained equivalent levels of lysosomal proteins, including the proton pump complex, and were acidic, but in drug treated cells and (Δ)ddpik1/ddpik2 cells phagosomal pH was significantly more acidic during maturation than the pH of control phagosomes. Inhibition of phagosomal maturation by LY294002 was overcome by increasing phagosomal pH with NH(4)Cl, suggesting that an increase in pH might trigger homotypic phagosome fusion. A pkbA null cell line (PKB/Akt) reproduced the phenotype described for cells treated with PI 3-kinase inhibitors and (Δ)ddpik1/ddpik2 cells. We propose that PI 3-kinases, through a PKB/Akt dependent pathway, directly regulate homotypic fusion of single particle containing phagosomes to form multi-particle, spacious phagosomes, possibly through the regulation of phagosomal pH.

Abstract
1. Receptor-mediated endocytosis in epithelial cells is a crucial mechanism for transport of macromolecules and regulation of cell-surface protein expression. Na+-H+ exchanger type 3 (NHE3) has been shown to cycle between the apical plasma membrane and the early endosomal compartment and to interfere with endocytosis. 2. In the present study we investigated in detail the NHE3-dependent step of apical endocytosis in an epithelial cell line (opossum kidney cells). 3. Inhibition of NHE3 led to a rapid dose-dependent inhibition of apical albumin endocytosis but did not affect basolateral transferrin endocytosis. Re-exocytosis of albumin was not increased by NHE3 inhibition. 4. NHE3 dependency of albumin endocytosis was still observed at 20 degrees C or when microtubules had been disrupted. This was not the case for inhibition of vacuolar H+-ATPase. 5. NHE3 inhibition rapidly blocked internalisation of pre-bound albumin and attenuated degradation of internalised albumin without changing general protein degradation. 6. Furthermore, NHE3 inhibition reduced the rate of endocytic vesicle fusion significantly. 7. In summary, our data indicate that NHE3 is important for the early phase of the apical endocytic pathway, located between the plasma membrane and early endosomes, at least in part due to its involvement in endocytic vesicle fusion.

Abstract
The ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family of proteins have emerged as key regulatory molecules in linking F-actin to specific membrane proteins, especially in cell surface structures. Merlin, the product of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene, has sequence similarity to ERM proteins and binds to some of the same membrane proteins, but lacks a C-terminal F-actin binding site. In this review we discuss how ERM proteins and merlin are negatively regulated by an intramolecular association between their N- and C-terminal domains. Activation of at least ERM proteins can be accomplished by C-terminal phosphorylation in the presence of PIP2. We also discuss membrane proteins to which ERM and merlin bind, including those making an indirect linkage through the PDZ-containing adaptor molecules EBP50 and E3KARP. Finally, the function of these proteins in cortical structure, endocytic traffic, signal transduction, and growth control is discussed.

Abstract
Vectorial ion transport initiated by Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) mediates the reabsorption of NaCl and NaHCO(3) in renal proximal tubule cells. NHE3 activity is modulated by numerous physiological stimuli. Biochemical and cellular experiments identified Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) as a protein cofactor essential for cAMP-mediated inhibition of NHE3 activity. Identification of numerous NHERF targets, including several transmembrane receptors and ion transporters, has broadened the role of this PSD-95/Dlg-1, Drososphila disk large/ZO-1 domain-containing adapter protein in membrane physiology. NHERF also associates with members of the ezrin/radixin/moesin family of actin-binding proteins and thus links NHE3 to the actin cytoskeleton. Formation of this multiprotein complex facilitates NHE3 phosphorylation and hormonal control of Na+/H+ exchange. NHERF also plays a critical role in targeting transport proteins to apical membranes. Moreover, the NHERF signaling complex functions as a regulatory unit to control endocytosis and internal trafficking of membrane proteins. This article reviews the new evidence that implicates NHERF in wider aspects of epithelial membrane biology.

Abstract
NHE3 is an intestinal epithelial isoform Na+/H+ exchanger that is present in the brush border of small intestinal, colonic, and gallbladder Na(+)-absorbing epithelial cells. NHE3 is acutely up- and downregulated in response to some G protein-linked receptors, tyrosine kinase receptors, and protein kinases when studied in intact ileum, when stably expressed in PS120 fibroblasts, and in the few studies reported in the human colon cancer cell line Caco-2. In most cases this is due to changes in Vmax of NHE3, although in response to cAMP and squalamine there are also changes in the K'(H+)i of the exchanger. The mechanism of the Vmax regulation as shown by cell surface biotinylation and confocal microscopy in Caco-2 cells and biotinylation in PS120 cells involves changes in the amount of NHE3 on the plasma membrane. In addition, in some cases there are also changes in turnover number of the exchanger. In some cases, the change in amount of NHE3 in the plasma membrane is associated with a change in the amount of plasma membrane. A combination of biochemical studies and transport/inhibitor studies in intact ileum and Caco-2 cells demonstrated that the increase in brush border Na+/H+ exchange caused by acute exposure to EGF was mediated by PI 3-kinase. PI 3-kinase was also involved in FGF stimulation of NHE3 expressed in fibroblasts. Thus, NHE3 is another example of a transport protein that is acutely regulated in part by changing the amount of the transporter on the plasma membrane by a process that appears to involve vesicle trafficking and also to involve changes in turnover number.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) isoforms play important roles in intracellular pH regulation and in fluid absorption. The isoform NHE3 has been localized to apical surfaces of epithelia and in some tissues may facilitate the absorption of NaCl. To determine whether the apical isoform NHE3 is present in cholangiocytes and to examine whether it has a functional role in cholangiocyte fluid secretion and absorption, immunocytochemical studies were performed in rat liver with NHE3 antibodies and functional studies were obtained in isolated bile duct units from wild-type and NHE3-/- mice after stimulation with forskolin, using videomicroscopic techniques. Our results indicate that NHE3 protein is present on the apical membranes of rat cholangiocytes and on the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. Western blots also detect NHE3 protein in rat cholangiocytes and isolated canalicular membranes. After stimulation with forskolin, duct units from NHE3-/- mice fail to absorb the secreted fluid from the cholangiocyte lumen compared with control animals. Similar findings were observed in isolated bile duct units from wild-type mice and rats in the presence of the Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride. In contrast, we could not demonstrate absorption of fluid from the canalicular lumen of mouse or rat hepatocyte couplets after stimulation of secretion with forskolin. These findings indicate that NHE3 is located on the apical membrane of rat cholangiocytes and that this NHE isoform can function to absorb fluid from the lumens of isolated rat and mouse cholangiocyte preparations.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is quantitatively the main contribution of kidneys to salt and water homeostasis. The transcellular reabsorption of sodium proceeds by a two-step mechanism: Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-energized basolateral active extrusion of sodium permits passive apical entry through various sodium transport systems. In the past 15 years, most of the renal sodium transport systems (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, channels, cotransporters, and exchangers) have been characterized at a molecular level. Coupled to the methods developed during the 1965-1985 decades to circumvent kidney heterogeneity and analyze sodium transport at the level of single nephron segments, cloning of the transporters allowed us to move our understanding of hormone regulation of sodium transport from a cellular to a molecular level. The main purpose of this review is to analyze how molecular events at the transporter level account for the physiological changes in tubular handling of sodium promoted by hormones. In recent years, it also became obvious that intracellular signaling pathways interacted with each other, leading to synergisms or antagonisms. A second aim of this review is therefore to analyze the integrated network of signaling pathways underlying hormone action. Given the central role of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in sodium reabsorption, the first part of this review focuses on its structural and functional properties, with a special mention of the specificity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in renal tubule. In a second part, the general mechanisms of hormone signaling are briefly introduced before a more detailed discussion of the nephron segment-specific expression of hormone receptors and signaling pathways. The three following parts integrate the molecular and physiological aspects of the hormonal regulation of sodium transport processes in three nephron segments: the proximal tubule, the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, and the collecting duct.

Abstract
We developed a confocal morphometric analysis to quantitate the relative plasma membrane (PM) expression of the Na/H exchanger NHE3 in living PS120 fibroblasts. NHE3 is a membrane transport protein that is acutely regulated by changes in the number of molecules expressed at the PM. To quantitate the PM expression of NHE3 under various experimental conditions, we stably expressed a chimera of rabbit NHE3 and green fluorescent protein (NHE3-GFP) in PS120 fibroblasts. A three-dimensional (3D) map of the intracellular distribution of NHE3-GFP was obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of cells superfused with a styryl dye, FM 4-64. This fluorophore rapidly and reversibly labeled the outer lipid layer of the PM, which allowed generation of a digital mask of the PM and calculation of the fraction of a total cellular NHE3-GFP expressed at the PM. This analysis was successfully used to quantitate the relative PM expression of NHE3-GFP in control cells (25%) and a decrease in the expression caused by subsequent exposure of cells to wortmannin (5.1%). Reliability of the method was confirmed by cell surface biotinylation, which yielded very similar results. Confocal morphometric analysis is fast and reproducible and could potentially be used for investigations on regulation of expression of other membrane proteins.
