Abstract
Two AE3 transcripts, full-length (AE3fl) and cardiac (AE3c) are expressed in the heart. AE3 catalyzes electroneutral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange across cardiomyocyte sarcolemma. AE proteins associate with carbonic anhydrases (CA), including CAII and CAIV, forming a HCO(3)(-) transport metabolon (BTM), increasing HCO(3)(-) fluxes and regulating cardiomyocytes pH. CAXIV, which is also expressed in the heart's sarcolemma, is a transmembrane enzyme with an extracellular catalytic domain. Herein, AE3/CAXIV physical association was examined by coimmunoprecipitation using rodent heart lysates. CAXIV immunoprecipitated with anti-AE3 antibody and both AE3fl and AE3c were reciprocally immunoprecipitated using anti-CAXIV antibody, indicating AE3fl-AE3c/CAXIV interaction in the myocardium. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments on heart lysates from a mouse with targeted disruption of the ae3 gene, failed to pull down AE3 with the CAXIV antibody. Confocal images demonstrated colocalization of CAXIV and AE3 in mouse ventricular myocytes. Functional association of AE3fl and CAXIV was examined in isolated hypertrophic rat cardiomyocytes, using fluorescence measurements of BCECF to monitor cytosolic pH. Hypertrophic cardiomyocytes of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) presented elevated myocardial AE-mediated Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity (J(HCO3-) mM.min(-1)) compared to normal (Wistar) rats (7.5±1.3, n=4 versus 2.9±0.1, n=6, respectively). AE3fl, AE3c, CAII, CAIV, and CAIX protein expressions were similar in SHR and Wistar rat hearts. However, immunoblots revealed a twofold increase of CAXIV protein expression in the SHR myocardium compared to normal hearts (n=11). Furthermore, the CA-inhibitor, benzolamide, neutralized the stimulatory effect of extracellular CA on AE3 transport activity (3.7±1.5, n=3), normalizing AE3-dependent HCO(3)(-) fluxes in SHR. CAXIV/AE3 interaction constitutes an extracellular component of a BTM which potentiates AE3-mediated HCO(3)(-) transport in the heart. Increased CAXIV expression and consequent AE3/CAXIV complex formation would render AE3 hyperactive in the SHR heart.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase type II deficiency syndrome is an uncommon autosomal recessive disease with cardinal features including osteopetrosis, renal tubular acidosis and brain calcifications. We describe the neurological, neuro-ophthalmological and neuroradiological features of 23 individuals (10 males, 13 females; ages at final examination 2-29 years) from 10 unrelated consanguineous families with carbonic anhydrase type II deficiency syndrome due to homozygous intron 2 splice site mutation (the 'Arabic mutation'). All patients had osteopetrosis, renal tubular acidosis, developmental delay, short stature and craniofacial disproportion with large cranial vault and broad forehead. Mental retardation was present in approximately two-thirds and varied from mild to severe. General neurological examinations were unremarkable except for one patient with brisk deep tendon reflexes and two with severe mental retardation and spastic quadriparesis. Globes and retinae were normal, but optic nerve involvement was present in 23/46 eyes and was variable in severity, random in occurrence and statistically correlated with degree of optic canal narrowing. Ocular motility was full except for partial ductional limitations in two individuals. Saccadic abnormalities were present in two, while half of these patients had sensory or accommodative strabismus, and seven had congenital nystagmus. These abnormalities were most commonly associated with afferent disturbances, but a minor brainstem component to this disorder remains possible. All internal auditory canals were normal in size, and no patient had clinically significant hearing loss. Neuroimaging was performed in 18 patients and repeated over as long as 10 years. Brain calcification was generally progressive and followed a distinct distribution, involving predominantly basal ganglia and thalami and grey-white matter junction in frontal regions more than posterior regions. At least one child had no brain calcification at age 9 years, indicating that brain calcification may not always be present in carbonic anhydrase type II deficiency syndrome during childhood. Variability of brain calcification, cognitive disturbance and optic nerve involvement may imply additional genetic or epigenetic influences affecting the course of the disease. However, the overall phenotype of the disorder in this group of patients was somewhat less severe than reported previously, raising the possibility that early treatment of systemic acidosis with bicarbonate may be crucial in the outcome of this uncommon autosomal recessive problem.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify and localize the monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) expressed in bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCEC) and to test the hypothesis that buffering contributed by HCO(3)(-), sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), sodium hydrogen exchanger (NHE), and carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity facilitates lactate flux. METHODS MCT1-4 expression was screened by RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence. Endogenous lactate efflux and/or pH(i) were measured in BCEC in HCO(3)(-)-free or HCO(3)(-)-rich Ringer, with and without niflumic acid (MCT inhibitor), acetazolamide (ACTZ, a CA inhibitor), 5-(N-Ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA) (Na(+)/H(+) exchange blocker), disodium 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS; anion transport inhibitor), or with NBCe1-specific small interfering (si) RNA-treated cells. RESULTS MCT1, 2, and 4 are expressed in BCEC. MCT1 was localized to the lateral membrane, MCT2 was lateral and apical, while MCT4 was apical. pH(i) measurements showed significant lactate-induced cell acidification (LIA) in response to 20-second pulses of lactate. Incubation with niflumic acid significantly reduced the rate of pHi change (dpH(i)/dt) and lactate-induced cell acidification. EIPA inhibited alkalinization after lactate removal. Lactate-dependent proton flux was significantly greater in the presence of HCO(3)(-) but was reduced by ACTZ. Efflux of endogenously produced lactate was significantly faster in the presence of HCO(3)(-), was greater on the apical surface, was reduced on the apical side by ACTZ, as well as on the apical and basolateral side by NBCe1-specific siRNA, DIDS, or EIPA. CONCLUSIONS MCT1, 2, and 4 are expressed in BCEC on both the apical and basolateral membrane (BL) surfaces consistent with niflumic acid-sensitive lactate-H(+) transport. Lactate dependent proton flux can activate Na(+)/H(+) exchange and be facilitated by maximizing intracellular buffering capacity through the presence of HCO(3)(-), HCO(3)(-) transport, NHE and CA activity.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic cholangiopathies have limited therapeutic options and represent an important indication for liver transplantation. The nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the membrane G protein-coupled receptor, TGR5, regulate bile acid (BA) homeostasis and inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that activation of FXR and/or TGR5 could ameliorate liver injury in Mdr2(-/-) (Abcb4(-/-)) mice, a model of chronic cholangiopathy. Hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, as well as bile secretion and key genes of BA homeostasis were addressed in Mdr2(-/-) mice fed either a chow diet or a diet supplemented with the FXR agonist, INT-747, the TGR5 agonist, INT-777, or the dual FXR/TGR5 agonist, INT-767 (0.03% w/w). Only the dual FXR/TGR5 agonist, INT-767, significantly improved serum liver enzymes, hepatic inflammation, and biliary fibrosis in Mdr2(-/-) mice, whereas INT-747 and INT-777 had no hepatoprotective effects. In line with this, INT-767 significantly induced bile flow and biliary HCO 3- output, as well as gene expression of carbonic anhydrase 14, an important enzyme able to enhance HCO 3- transport, in an Fxr-dependent manner. In addition, INT-767 dramatically reduced bile acid synthesis via the induction of ileal Fgf15 and hepatic Shp gene expression, thus resulting in significantly reduced biliary bile acid output in Mdr2(-/-) mice. CONCLUSION This study shows that FXR activation improves liver injury in a mouse model of chronic cholangiopathy by reduction of biliary BA output and promotion of HCO 3--rich bile secretion.

Abstract
The ubiquitous enzyme carbonic anhydrase isoform II (CAII) has been shown to enhance transport activity of the proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and MCT4 in a non-catalytic manner. In this study, we investigated the role of cytosolic CAII and of the extracellular, membrane-bound CA isoform IV (CAIV) on the lactate transport activity of the high-affinity monocarboxylate transporter MCT2, heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In contrast to MCT1 and MCT4, transport activity of MCT2 was not altered by CAII. However, coexpression of CAIV with MCT2 resulted in a significant increase in MCT2 transport activity when the transporter was coexpressed with its associated ancillary protein GP70 (embigin). The CAIV-mediated augmentation of MCT2 activity was independent of the catalytic activity of the enzyme, as application of the CA-inhibitor ethoxyzolamide or coexpressing the catalytically inactive mutant CAIV-V165Y did not suppress CAIV-mediated augmentation of MCT2 transport activity. Furthermore, exchange of His-88, mediating an intramolecular H(+)-shuttle in CAIV, to alanine resulted only in a slight decrease in CAIV-mediated augmentation of MCT2 activity. The data suggest that extracellular membrane-bound CAIV, but not cytosolic CAII, augments transport activity of MCT2 in a non-catalytic manner, possibly by facilitating a proton pathway other than His-88.

Abstract
Anion exchanger 1 (AE1) is the plasma membrane Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger of erythrocytes. Carbonic anhydrases (CA) provide substrate for AE1 by catalyzing the reaction, H(2)O + CO(2) ↔ HCO(3)(-) + H(+). The physical complex of CAII with AE1 has been proposed to maximize anion exchange activity. To examine the effect of CAII catalysis on AE1 transport rate, we fused either CAII-wild type or catalytically inactive CAII-V143Y to the cytoplasmic COOH terminus of AE1 to form AE1.CAII and AE1.CAII-V143Y, respectively. When expressed in transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells, AE1.CAII had a similar Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity to AE1 alone, as assessed by the flux of H(+) equivalents (87 ± 4% vs. AE1) or rate of change of intracellular Cl(-) concentration (93 ± 4% vs. AE1), suggesting that CAII does not activate AE1. In contrast, AE1.CAII-V143Y displayed transport rates for H(+) equivalents and Cl(-) of 55 ± 2% and of 40 ± 2%, versus AE1. Fusion of CAII to AE1 therefore reduces anion transport activity, but this reduction is compensated for during Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange by the presence of catalytically active CAII. Overexpression of free CAII-V143Y acts in a dominant negative manner to reduce AE1-mediated HCO(3)(-) transport by displacement of endogenous CAII-wild type from its binding site on AE1. To examine whether AE1.CAII bound endogenous CAII, we coexpressed CAII-V143Y along with AE1 or AE1.CAII. The bicarbonate transport activity of AE1 was inhibited by CAII-V143Y, whereas the activity of AE1.CAII was unaffected by CAII-V143Y, suggesting impaired transport activity upon displacement of functional CAII from AE1 but not AE1.CAII. Taken together, these data suggest that association of functional CAII with AE1 increases Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity, consistent with the HCO(3)(-) transport metabolon model.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a membrane-bound, tumor-related enzyme whose expression is often considered a marker for hypoxia, an indicator of poor prognosis in the majority of cancer patients, and is associated with acidification of the tumor microenvironment. Here, we describe for the first time the catalytic properties of native CAIX in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells that exhibit hypoxia-inducible CAIX expression. Using (18)O exchange measured by membrane inlet mass spectrometry, we determined catalytic activity in membrane ghosts and intact cells. Exofacial carbonic anhydrase activity increases with exposure to hypoxia, an activity which is suppressed by impermeant sulfonamide CA inhibitors. Inhibition by sulfonamide inhibitors is not sensitive to reoxygenation. CAIX activity in intact cells increases in response to reduced pH. Data from membrane ghosts show that the increase in activity at reduced pH is largely due to an increase in the dehydration reaction. In addition, the kinetic constants of CAIX in membrane ghosts are very similar to our previous measurements for purified, recombinant, truncated forms. Hence, the activity of CAIX is not affected by the proteoglycan extension or membrane environment. These activities were measured at a total concentration for all CO(2) species at 25 mm and close to chemical equilibrium, conditions which approximate the physiological extracellular environment. Our data suggest that CAIX is particularly well suited to maintain the extracellular pH at a value that favors the survival fitness of tumor cells.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) catalyze the reversible hydration of CO(2) to HCO(3)(-) and H(+). The rate-limiting step in this reaction is the shuttle of protons between the catalytic center of the enzyme and the bulk solution. In carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), the fastest and most wide-spread isoform, this H(+) shuttle is facilitated by the side chain of His64, whereas CA isoforms such as carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), which lack such a shuttle, have only low catalytic activity in vitro. By using heterologous protein expression in Xenopus oocytes, we tested the role of this intramolecular H(+) shuttle on CA activity in an intact cell. The data revealed that CAIII, shown in vitro to have ∼1,000-fold reduced activity as compared with CAII, displays significant catalytic activity in the intact cell. Furthermore, we tested the hypothesis that the H(+) shuttle in CAII itself can facilitate transport activity of the monocarboxylate transporters 1 and 4 (MCT1/4) independent of catalytic activity. Our results show that His64 is essential for the enhancement of lactate transport via MCT1/4, because a mutation of this residue to alanine (CAII-H64A) abolishes the CAII-induced increase in MCT1/4 activity. However, injection of 4-methylimidazole, which acts as an exogenous H(+) donor/acceptor, can restore the ability of CAII-H64A to enhance transport activity of MCT1/4. These findings support the hypothesis that the H(+) shuttle in CAII not only facilitates CAII catalytic activity but also can enhance activity of acid-/base-transporting proteins such as MCT1/4 in a direct, noncatalytic manner, possibly by acting as an "H(+)-collecting antenna."

Abstract
All segments of the gastrointestinal tract are comprised of an elaborately folded epithelium that expresses a variety of cell types and performs multiple secretory and absorptive functions. While the apical membrane expresses the electrolyte transporters that secrete or absorb electrolytes and water, basolateral transporters regulate the secretory or absorptive rates. During gastric acid formation, Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ and Na(+) /H(+) exchange and other transporters secure Cl⁻ re-supply as well as pH and volume regulation. Gastric surface cells utilize ion transporters to secrete HCO₃⁻, maintain pH(i) during a luminal acid load and repair damaged surface areas during the process of epithelial restitution. Na(+)/H(+) exchange and Na(+)/HCO₃⁻ cotransport serve basolateral acid/base import for gastroduodenal HCO₃⁻ secretion. The gastric and duodenal epithelium also absorbs salt and water. Recent molecular information on novel ion transporters expressed in the gastric and duodenal epithelium has exploded; however, a function has not been found yet for all transporters. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge on the molecular identity and cellular function of basolateral ion transporters in the gastric and duodenal epithelium.

Abstract
The emergence of ocean acidification as a significant threat to calcifying organisms in marine ecosystems creates a pressing need to understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which calcification is affected by environmental parameters. We report here, for the first time, changes in gene expression induced by variations in pH/pCO2 in the widespread and abundant coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. Batch cultures were subjected to increased partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2; i.e. decreased pH), and the changes in expression of four functional gene classes directly or indirectly related to calcification were investigated. Increased pCO2 did not affect the calcification rate and only carbonic anhydrase transcripts exhibited a significant down-regulation. Our observation that elevated pCO2 induces only limited changes in the transcription of several transporters of calcium and bicarbonate gives new significant elements to understand cellular mechanisms underlying the early response of E. huxleyi to CO2-driven ocean acidification.

Abstract
Ion regulation is a biological process crucial to the survival of mosquito larvae and a major organ responsible for this regulation is the rectum. The recta of anopheline larvae are distinct from other subfamilies of mosquitoes in several ways, yet have not yet been characterized extensively. Here we characterize the two major cell types of the anopheline rectum, DAR and non-DAR cells, using histological, physiological, and pharmacological analyses. Proton flux was measured at the basal membrane of 2%- and 50%-artificial sea water-reared An. albimanus larvae using self-referencing ion-selective microelectrodes, and the two cell types were found to differ in basal membrane proton flux. Additionally, differences in the response of that flux to pharmacological inhibitors in larvae reared in 2% versus 50% ASW indicate changes in protein function between the two rearing conditions. Finally, histological analyses suggest that the non-DAR cells are structurally suited for mediating ion transport. These data support a model of rectal ion regulation in which the non-DAR cells have a resorptive function in freshwater-reared larvae and a secretive function in saline water-reared larvae. In this way, anopheline larvae may adapt to varying salinities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of the sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1) as a component of the corneal endothelial pump in the in vivo rabbit eye. METHODS Lentiviruses with NBCe1 shRNA and GFP expression cassettes were injected intracamerally. Knockdown efficacy was determined 1 week to 4 weeks later by immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis, and PCR. Functional effects were monitored by corneal thickness (CT) and brinzolamide sensitivity. RESULTS Within 24 hours there was a modest anterior chamber inflammation that resolved within 48 hours. At 4 × 10(6) IFU, more than 95% of the corneal endothelial surface showed GFP fluorescence above background within 7 days. At 14 to 21 days, signs of anterior chamber inflammation reemerged, and endothelial cell GFP fluorescence disappeared within 40 days after injection. The second phase of inflammation could be avoided by using GFP-less viruses. There was no significant difference in CT between scrambled sequence and NBCe1 shRNA-injected eyes over 3 weeks. Two drops of 1% brinzolamide produced 7.85% ± 3.3% corneal swelling within 5 hours of topical instillation. However, in corneas showing more than 25% NBCe1 knockdown (30 of 42 rabbits; 59% ± 15% knockdown), corneal swelling was significantly higher (10.1% ± 2.9%) relative to control eyes. CONCLUSIONS FIV-based lentiviral vectors can transfect CE with shRNA in rabbits. The response to GFP is consistent, with previous studies showing the production of anti-GFP antibodies. Partial knockdown of NBCe1 did not affect baseline CT, which is consistent with the corneal endothelium having a substantial functional reserve. Provocative testing using, brinzolamide, however, revealed an underlying deficiency, confirming the importance of NBCe1 bicarbonate transport and demonstrating the concerted action between NBCe1 and carbonic anhydrases.

Abstract
The chick chorioallantoic membrane is a very simple extraembryonic membrane which serves multiple functions during embryo development; it is the site of exchange of respiratory gases, calcium transport from the eggshell, acid-base homeostasis in the embryo, and ion and H(2)O reabsorption from the allantoic fluid. All these functions are accomplished by its epithelia, the chorionic and the allantoic epithelium, by differentiation of a wide range of structural and molecular peculiarities which make them highly specialized, ion transporting epithelia. Studying the different aspects of such a developmental strategy emphasizes the functional potential of the epithelium and offers an excellent model system to gain insights into questions partly still unresolved.

Abstract
Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) are carriers of high-energy metabolites like lactate and pyruvate, and different MCT isoforms are expressed in a wide range of cells and tissues. Transport activity of MCT isoform 1 (MCT1), heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes, has previously been shown to be supported by carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) in a noncatalytic manner. In the present study, we investigated possible interactions of CAII with MCT4, expressed in Xenopus oocytes. MCT4 transport activity is enhanced both by injected and by coexpressed CAII, similar to MCT1, with the highest augmentation at low extracellular pH and low lactate concentrations. CAII-induced augmentation in MCT4 transport activity is independent from the enzyme's catalytic function, as shown by application of the CA inhibitor ethoxyzolamide and by coexpression of MCT4 with the catalytically inactive mutant CAII-V143Y.

Abstract
Although endogenous CO2 hydration and serosal HCO3- are both known to contribute to the high rates of intestinal HCO3- secretion important to marine fish osmoregulation, the basolateral step by which transepithelial HCO3- secretion is accomplished has received little attention. Isolated intestine HCO3- secretion rates, transepithelial potential (TEP) and conductance were found to be dependent on serosal HCO3- concentration and sensitive to serosal DIDS. Elevated mucosal Cl- concentration had the unexpected effect of reducing HCO3- secretion rates, but did not affect electrophysiology. These characteristics indicate basolateral limitation of intestinal HCO3- secretion in seawater gulf toadfish, Opsanus beta. The isolated intestine has a high affinity for serosal HCO3- in the physiological range (Km=10.2 mmol l(-1)), indicating a potential to efficiently fine-tune systemic acid-base balance. We have confirmed high levels of intestinal tract expression of a basolateral Na+/HCO3- cotransporter of the electrogenic NBCe1 isoform in toadfish (tfNBCe1), which shows elevated expression following salinity challenge, indicating its importance in marine fish osmoregulation. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, isolated tfNBCe1 has transport characteristics similar to those in the isolated tissue, including a similar affinity for HCO3- (Km=8.5 mmol l(-1)). Reported affinity constants of NBC1 for Na+ are generally much lower than physiological Na+ concentrations, suggesting that cotransporter activity is more likely to be modulated by HCO3- rather than Na+ availability in vivo. These similar functional characteristics of isolated tfNBCe1 and the intact tissue suggest a role of this cotransporter in the high HCO3- secretion rates of the marine fish intestine.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (encoded by Cftr) that impair its role as an apical chloride channel that supports bicarbonate transport. Individuals with cystic fibrosis show retained, thickened mucus that plugs airways and obstructs luminal organs as well as numerous other abnormalities that include inflammation of affected organs, alterations in lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. Here we show that colonic epithelial cells and whole lung tissue from Cftr-deficient mice show a defect in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma, encoded by Pparg) function that contributes to a pathological program of gene expression. Lipidomic analysis of colonic epithelial cells suggests that this defect results in part from reduced amounts of the endogenous PPAR-gamma ligand 15-keto-prostaglandin E(2) (15-keto-PGE(2)). Treatment of Cftr-deficient mice with the synthetic PPAR-gamma ligand rosiglitazone partially normalizes the altered gene expression pattern associated with Cftr deficiency and reduces disease severity. Rosiglitazone has no effect on chloride secretion in the colon, but it increases expression of the genes encoding carbonic anhydrases 4 and 2 (Car4 and Car2), increases bicarbonate secretion and reduces mucus retention. These studies reveal a reversible defect in PPAR-gamma signaling in Cftr-deficient cells that can be pharmacologically corrected to ameliorate the severity of the cystic fibrosis phenotype in mice.

Abstract
Anion exchange contributes significantly to intestinal Cl(-) absorption in marine teleost fish and is thus vital for successful osmoregulation. This anion exchange process leads to high luminal HCO(3)(-) concentrations (up to approximately 100 mmol l(-1)) and high pH and results in the formation of CaCO(3) precipitates in the intestinal lumen. Recent advances in our understanding of the transport processes involved in intestinal anion exchange in marine teleost fish include the demonstration of a role for the H(+)-pump (V-ATPase) in apical H(+) extrusion and the presence of an electrogenic (nHCO(3)(-)/Cl(-)) exchange protein (SLC26a6). The H(+)-V-ATPase defends against cellular acidification, which might otherwise occur as a consequence of the high rates of base secretion. In addition, apical H(+) extrusion probably maintains lower HCO(3)(-) concentrations in the unstirred layer at the apical surface than in the bulk luminal fluids and thus facilitates continued anion exchange. Furthermore, H(+)-V-ATPase activity hyperpolarizes the apical membrane potential that provides the driving force for apical electrogenic nHCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchange, which appears to occur against both Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) electrochemical gradients. We propose that a similar coupling between apical H(+) extrusion and nHCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchange accounts for Cl(-) uptake in freshwater fish and amphibians against very steep Cl(-) gradients.

Abstract
Bicarbonate transport and metabolism are key elements of normal cellular function. Two alternate transcripts of anion exchanger 3 (AE3), full-length (AE3fl) and cardiac (AE3c), are expressed in central nervous system (CNS), where AE3 catalyzes electroneutral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange across the plasma membrane of neuronal and glial cells of CNS. Anion exchanger isoforms, AE3fl and AE3c, associate with the carbonic anhydrases (CA) CAII and CAIV, forming a HCO(3)(-) transport metabolon, to maximize HCO(3)(-) flux across the plasma membrane. CAXIV, with catalytic domain anchored to the extracellular surface, is also expressed in CNS. Here physical association of AE3 and CAXIV was examined by coimmunoprecipitation experiments, using mouse brain and retinal lysates. CAXIV immunoprecipitated with anti-AE3 antibody, and both AE3 isoforms were immunoprecipitated using anti-CAXIV antibody, indicating CAXIV and AE3 interaction in the CNS. Confocal images revealed colocalization of CAXIV and AE3 in Müller and horizontal cells, in the mouse retina. Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity of AE3fl was investigated in transiently transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells, using intracellular fluorescence measurements of BCECF, to monitor intracellular pH. CAXIV increased the rate of AE3fl-mediated HCO(3)(-) transport by up to 120%, which was suppressed by the CA inhibitor acetazolamide. Association of AE3 and CAXIV may represent a mechanism to enhance disposal of waste CO(2) and to balance pH in excitable tissues.

Abstract
Human concentrative nucleoside transporter, hCNT3, mediates Na+/nucleoside and H+/nucleoside co-transport. We describe a new approach to monitor H+/uridine co-transport in cultured mammalian cells, using a pH-sensitive monomeric red fluorescent protein variant, mNectarine, whose development and characterization are also reported here. A chimeric protein, mNectarine fused to the N terminus of hCNT3 (mNect.hCNT3), enabled measurement of pH at the intracellular surface of hCNT3. mNectarine fluorescence was monitored in HEK293 cells expressing mNect.hCNT3 or mNect.hCNT3-F563C, an inactive hCNT3 mutant. Free cytosolic mNect, mNect.hCNT3, and the traditional pH-sensitive dye, BCECF, reported cytosolic pH similarly in pH-clamped HEK293 cells. Cells were incubated at the permissive pH for H(+)-coupled nucleoside transport, pH 5.5, under both Na(+)-free and Na(+)-containing conditions. In mNect.hCNT3-expressing cells (but not under negative control conditions) the rate of acidification increased in media containing 0.5 mm uridine, providing the first direct evidence for H(+)-coupled uridine transport. At pH 5.5, there was no significant difference in uridine transport rates (coupled H+ flux) in the presence or absence of Na+ (1.09 +/- 0.11 or 1.18 +/- 0.32 mm min(-1), respectively). This suggests that in acidic Na(+)-containing conditions, 1 Na+ and 1 H+ are transported per uridine molecule, while in acidic Na(+)-free conditions, 1 H+ alone is transported/uridine. In acid environments, including renal proximal tubule, H+/nucleoside co-transport may drive nucleoside accumulation by hCNT3. Fusion of mNect to hCNT3 provided a simple, self-referencing, and effective way to monitor nucleoside transport, suggesting an approach that may have applications in assays of transport activity of other H(+)-coupled transport proteins.

Abstract
Recently, our laboratory has reported the presence of one acidifying Cl-/HC exchange mechanism in human platelets. This paper demonstrates that this exchanger decreases its activity after inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. BCECF-loaded platelets, previously equilibrated in a bicarbonate/CO2 buffered solution, were resuspended in a Hepes-buffered, chloride-free (glucuronate) medium to produce a pHi increase. After addition of 50 mM NaCl, pHi fell rapidly reaching steady state in the succeeding 400 s. The recovery in chloride-containing solution was in contrast to the effect of a similar change in osmolarity by addition of 50 mM sodium glucuronate that produced a significantly slower variation of pHi. Alkali loads produced by 25 mM TMA were also counteracted by HC equivalent efflux via Cl-/HC exchange. The present study shows that the efflux of HC was slower when the platelets were previously incubated in 100 microM methazolamide. As a conclusion, the recovery of pHi from alkalosis by Na-independent Cl-/HC exchange is facilitated in platelets by the enzymatic activity of the carbonic anhydrase.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in the brain extracellular space is attributable mainly to isoforms CA4 and CA14. In brain, these enzymes have been studied mostly in the context of buffering activity-dependent extracellular pH transients. Yet evidence from others has suggested that CA4 acts in a complex with anion exchangers (AEs) to facilitate Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange in cotransfected cells. To investigate whether CA4 or CA14 plays such a role in hippocampal neurons, we studied NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization of the cytosol, which is mitigated by Cl(-) entry and HCO(3)(-) exit. The NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was enhanced when the extracellular CAs were inhibited by the poorly permeant CA blocker, benzolamide, or by inhibitory antibodies specific for either CA4 or CA14. The NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was also increased with inhibition of anion exchange by 4,4*-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2*-disulfonic acid, or by eliminating Cl(-) from the medium. No effect of benzolamide was seen under these conditions, in which no Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange was possible. Quantitative PCR on RNA from the neuronal cultures indicated that AE3 was the predominant AE isoform. Single-cell PCR also showed that Slc4a3 (AE3) transcripts were abundant in isolated neurons. In hippocampal neurons dissociated from AE3-null mice, the NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was much larger than that seen in neurons from wild-type mice, suggesting little or no Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange in the absence of AE3. Benzolamide had no effect on the NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization in the AE3 knock-out neurons. Our results indicate that CA4 and CA14 both play important roles in the regulation of intracellular pH in hippocampal neurons, by facilitating AE3-mediated Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange.

Abstract
The family of mammalian bicarbonate transport proteins are involved in a wide-range of physiological processes. The importance of bicarbonate transport follows from the biochemistry of HCO(3)(-) itself. Bicarbonate is the waste product of mitochondrial respiration. HCO(3)(-) undergoes pH-dependent conversion into CO(2) and in doing so converts from a membrane impermeant anion into a gas that can diffuse across membranes. The CO(2)-HCO(3)(-) equilibrium forms the most important pH buffering system of our bodies. Bicarbonate transport proteins facilitate the movement of membrane-impermeant HCO(3)(-) across membranes to accelerate disposal of waste CO(2), control cellular and whole-body pH, and to regulate fluid movement and acid/base secretion. Defects of bicarbonate transport proteins manifest in diseases of most organ systems. Fourteen gene products facilitate mammalian bicarbonate transport, whose physiology and pathophysiology is discussed in the present review.

Abstract
The inhibition of a coral carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) has been investigated with a series of inorganic anions such as halogenides, pseudohalogenides, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, hydrogen sulfide, bisulfite, perchlorate, sulfate. The full-length scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata CA, STPCA, has a significant catalytic activity for the physiological reaction of CO(2) hydration to bicarbonate, similarly to the ubiquitous human isoforms hCA I (cytosolic) and hCA VI (secreted). The best STPCA anion inhibitors were bromide, iodide, carbonate, and sulfamate, with inhibition constants of 9.0-10.0 microM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Carbonic anhydrase activity has a central role in corneal endothelial function. The authors examined the role of carbonic anhydrase IV (CAIV) in facilitating CO(2) flux, HCO(3)(-) permeability, and HCO(3)(-) flux across the apical membrane. METHODS Primary cultures of bovine corneal endothelial cells were established on membrane-permeable filters. Apical CAIV was inhibited by benzolamide or siRNA knockdown of CAIV. Apical CO(2) fluxes and HCO(3)(-) permeability were determined by measuring pH(i) changes in response to altering the CO(2) or HCO(3)(-) gradient across the apical membrane. Basolateral to apical (B-to-A) HCO(3)(-) flux was determined by measuring the pH of a weakly buffered apical bath in the presence of basolateral bicarbonate-rich Ringer solution. In addition, the effects of benzolamide and CAIV knockdown on steady state DeltapH (apical-basolateral compartment pH) after 4-hour incubation in DMEM were measured. RESULTS CAIV expression was confirmed, and CAIV was localized exclusively to the apical membrane by confocal microscopy. Both 10 microM benzolamide and CAIV siRNA reduced apparent apical CO(2) flux by approximately 20%; however, they had no effect on HCO(3)(-) permeability or HCO(3)(-) flux. The steady state apical-basolateral pH gradient at 4 hours was reduced by 0.12 and 0.09 pH units in benzolamide- and siRNA-treated cells, respectively, inconsistent with a net cell-to-apical compartment CO(2) flux. CONCLUSIONS CAIV does not facilitate steady state cell-to-apical CO(2) flux, apical HCO(3)(-) permeability, or B-to-A HCO(3)(-) flux. Steady state pH changes, however, suggest that CAIV may have a role in buffering the apical surface.

Abstract
Marine teleost fish precipitate divalent cations as carbonate deposits in the intestine to minimize the potential for excessive Ca2+ entry and to stimulate water absorption by reducing luminal osmotic pressure. This carbonate deposit formation, therefore, helps maintain osmoregulation in the seawater (SW) environment and requires controlled secretion of HCO3(-) to match the amount of Ca2+ entering the intestinal lumen. Despite its physiological importance, the process of HCO3(-) secretion has not been characterized at the molecular level. We analyzed the expression of two families of HCO3(-) transporters, Slc4 and Slc26, in fresh-water- and SW-acclimated euryhaline pufferfish, mefugu (Takifugu obscurus), and obtained the following candidate clones: NBCe1 (an Na+-HCO3(-) cotransporter) and Slc26a6A and Slc26a6B (putative Cl(-)/HCO3(-) exchangers). Heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes showed that Slc26a6A and Slc26a6B have potent HCO3(-)-transporting activity as electrogenic Cl(-)/nHCO3(-) exchangers, whereas mefugu NBCe1 functions as an electrogenic Na+-nHCO3(-) cotransporter. Expression of NBCe1 and Slc26a6A was highly induced in the intestine in SW and expression of Slc26a6B was high in the intestine in SW and fresh water, suggesting their involvement in HCO3(-) secretion and carbonate precipitate formation. Immunohistochemistry showed staining on the apical (Slc26a6A and Slc26a6B) and basolateral (NBCe1) membranes of the intestinal epithelial cells in SW. We therefore propose a mechanism for HCO3(-) transport across the intestinal epithelial cells of marine fish that includes basolateral HCO3(-) uptake (NBCe1) and apical HCO3(-) secretion (Slc26a6A and Slc26a6B).

Abstract
The first anion inhibition study of the mitochondrial human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoform hCA VB is reported. Fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, azide, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, hydrogen sulfide, bisulfite, sulfate, sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid were compared as inhibitors of the two mitochondrial isozymes hCA VA and hCA VB. These enzymes are involved in biosynthetic reactions leading to fatty acid and Krebs cycle intermediates biosynthesis in addition to acting as catalysts for the interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate. The anion inhibition profiles of the two isoforms are dramatically different. The best hCA VB inhibitors were cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide and hydrogensulfide (K(I)s of 80-76 microM) whereas the least effective ones were the halides (K(I)s of 11-72 mM), with the best inhibitor being fluoride and the least effective ones bromide and iodide. Whereas hCA VA is not sensitive to bicarbonate inhibition (K(I) of 82 mM) similarly to the cytosolic isoform hCA II, hCA VB is well inhibited by this anion, with a K(I) of 0.71 mM. Overall, hCA VB is more sensitive to anion inhibitors as compared to hCA VA. Such data support prior suggestions that the two mitochondrial isozymes play different physiological functions.

Abstract
The transport activity of the glutamine/neutral amino acid transporter SNAT3 (former SN1, SLC38A3), expressed in oocytes of the frog Xenopus laevis is associated with a non-stoichiometrical membrane conductance selective for Na+ and/or H+ (Schneider, H.P., S. Bröer, A. Bröer, and J.W. Deitmer. 2007. J. Biol. Chem. 282:3788–3798). When we expressed SNAT3 in frog oocytes, the glutamine-induced membrane conductance was suppressed, when carbonic anhydrase isoform II (CAII) had been injected into the oocytes. Transport of substrate, however, was not affected by CAII. The reduction of the membrane conductance by CAII was dependent on the presence of CO2/HCO3−, and could be reversed by blocking the catalytic activity of CAII by ethoxyzolamide (10 μM). Coexpression of wild-type CAII or a N-terminal CAII mutant with SNAT3 also reduced the SNAT3- associated membrane conductance. The catalytically inactive CAII mutant V143Y coexpressed in oocytes did not affect SNAT3-associated membrane conductance. Our results reveal a new type of interaction between CAII and a transporter-associated cation conductance, and support the hypothesis that the transport of substrate and the non-stoichiometrical ion conductance are independent of each other. This study also emphasizes the importance of carbonic anhydrase activity and the presence of CO2-bicarbonate buffers for membrane transport processes.

Abstract
Background Vision is initiated by phototransduction in the outer retina by photoreceptors, whose high metabolic rate generates large CO2 loads. Inner retina cells then process the visual signal and CO2. The anion exchanger 3 gene (AE3/Slc4a3) encodes full-length AE3 (AE3fl) and cardiac AE3 (AE3c) isoforms, catalyzing plasma membrane Cl−/HCO3− exchange in Müller (AE3fl) and horizontal (AE3c) cells. AE3 thus maintains acid-balance by removing photoreceptor-generated CO2 waste. Methodology/Principal Findings We report that Slc4a3−/− null mice have inner retina defects (electroretinogram b-wave reduction, optic nerve and retinal vessel anomalies). These pathologic features are common to most human vitreoretinal degenerations. Immunobloting analysis revealed that Na+/HCO3− co-transporter (NBC1), and carbonic anhydrase II and CAXIV, protein expression were elevated in Slc4a3−/− mouse retinas, suggesting compensation for loss of AE3. TUNEL staining showed increased numbers of apoptotic nuclei from 4–6 months of age, in Slc4a3−/− mice, indicating late onset photoreceptor death. Conclusions/Significance Identification of Slc4a3 as underlying a previously unrecognized cause of blindness suggests this gene as a new candidate for a subset of hereditary vitreoretinal retinal degeneration.

Abstract
Airway submucosal glands are sites of high expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel and contribute to fluid homeostasis in the lung. However, the molecular mechanisms of gland ion and fluid transport are poorly defined. Here, submucosal gland serous acinar cells were isolated from murine airway, identified by immunofluorescence and gene expression profiling, and used in physiological studies. Stimulation of isolated acinar cells with carbachol (CCh), histamine or ATP was associated with marked decreases in cell volume (20 +/- 2% within 62 +/- 5 s) that were tightly correlated with increases in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) as revealed by simultaneous DIC and fluorescent indicator dye microscopy. Simultaneous imaging of cell volume and the Cl(-)-sensitive fluorophore SPQ indicated that the 20% shrinkage was associated with a fall of [Cl(-)](i) from 65 mm to 28 mm, reflecting loss of 67% of cell Cl(-) content, accompanied by parallel efflux of K(+). Upon agonist removal, [Ca(2+)](i) relaxed and the cells swelled back to resting volume via a bumetanide-sensitive Cl(-) influx pathway, likely to be NKCC1. Accordingly, agonist-induced serous acinar cell shrinkage and swelling are caused by activation of solute efflux and influx pathways, respectively, and cell volume reflects the secretory state of these cells. In contrast, elevation of cAMP failed to elicit detectible volume responses, or enhance those induced by submaximal [CCh], because the magnitude of the changes were likely to be below the threshold of detection using optical imaging. Finally, when stimulated with cholinergic or cAMP agonists, cells from mice that lacked CFTR, as well as wild-type cells treated with a CFTR inhibitor, exhibited identical rates and magnitudes of shrinkage and Cl(-) efflux compared with control cells. These results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of salt and water secretion by lung submucosal glands, and they suggest that while murine submucosal gland fluid secretion in response to cholinergic stimulation can originate from CFTR-expressing serous acinar cells, it is not dependent upon CFTR function.

Abstract
Basal HCO(3)(-) secretion across the duodenum has been shown in several species to principally involve the activity of apical membrane Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger(s). To investigate the identity of relevant anion exchanger(s), experiments were performed using wild-type (WT) mice and mice with gene-targeted deletion of the following Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchangers localized to the apical membrane of murine duodenal villi: Slc26a3 [down-regulated in adenoma (DRA)], Slc26a6 [putative anion transporter 1 (PAT-1)], and Slc4a9 [anion exchanger 4 (AE4)]. RT-PCR of the isolated villous epithelium demonstrated PAT-1, DRA, and AE4 mRNA expression. Using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF, anion exchange rates were measured across the apical membrane of epithelial cells in the upper villus of the intact duodenal mucosa. Under basal conditions, Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity was reduced by 65-80% in the PAT-1(-) duodenum, 30-40% in the DRA(-) duodenum, and <5% in the AE4(-) duodenum compared with the WT duodenum. SO(4)(2-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange was eliminated in the PAT-1(-) duodenum but was not affected in the DRA(-) and AE4(-) duodenum relative to the WT duodenum. Intracellular pH (pH(i)) was reduced in the PAT-1(-) villous epithelium but increased to WT levels in the absence of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) or during methazolamide treatment. Further experiments under physiological conditions indicated active pH(i) compensation in the PAT-1(-) villous epithelium by combined activities of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 1 and Cl(-)-dependent transport processes at the basolateral membrane. We conclude that 1) PAT-1 is the major contributor to basal Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) and SO(4)(2-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange across the apical membrane and 2) PAT-1 plays a role in pH(i) regulation in the upper villous epithelium of the murine duodenum.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated bone-resorbing cells that use multiple pH regulation mechanisms to create an acidic pH in the resorption lacuna. Carbonic anhydrase II and vacuolar H(+)-ATPases produce and transport protons, while chloride channels provide a Cl(-) flux into the resorption site. These activities are required for inorganic matrix dissolution that precedes enzymatic removal of organic bone matrix. In other cell types it has become evident that carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes interact with AE proteins to form transport metabolons that regulate intracellular pH. Membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes may also compensate for the lack of cytoplasmic carbonic anhydrase II. Therefore, our goal was to explore the expression of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes CA IV, CA IX, CA XII and CA XIV in bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy showed expression of CA IV, CA XII and CA XIV in cultured rat and human osteoclasts. To confirm these results, RT-PCR was used. Immunohistochemistry revealed distinct staining patterns for CA IV, CA XII and CA XIV in rat trabecular bone specimens. A plasma membrane staining was observed in bone lining cells with the CA XII antibody while osteoclast plasma membranes were stained with CA IV and CA XIV antibodies. Confocal microscopy of cultured human osteoclasts showed a punctated intracellular CA IV staining and a perinuclear CA XIV staining while no CA IX or CA XII staining was observed. To evaluate the physiological role of membrane-bound CAs in osteoclasts, we used PCS, a novel membrane-impermeable CA inhibitor. Increased osteoclast number and bone resorption activity was observed in rat osteoclast cultures exposed to a low concentration of PCS while higher concentrations affected cell survival. PCS treatment also disturbed intracellular acidification in osteoclasts, as determined by live cell microscopy. In conclusion, our data shows that membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes CA IV and CA XIV are expressed both at mRNA and protein levels in osteoclasts in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the inhibitor experiments provide novel evidence to support the hypothesis that intracellular pH regulation in osteoclasts may indeed involve transport metabolons.

Abstract
Several acid/base-coupled membrane transporters, such as the electrogenic sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), have been shown to bind to different carbonic anhydrase isoforms to create a "transport metabolon." We have expressed NBCe1 derived from human kidney in oocytes of Xenopus leavis and determined its transport activity by recording the membrane current in voltage clamp, and the cytosolic H(+) and Na(+) concentrations using ion-selective microelectrodes. When carbonic anhydrase isoform II (CAII) had been injected into oocytes, the membrane current and the rate of cytosolic Na(+) rise, indicative for NBCe1 activity, increased significantly with the amount of injected CAII (2-200 ng). The CAII inhibitor ethoxyzolamide reversed the effects of CAII on the NBCe1 activity. Co-expressing wild-type CAII or NH(2)-terminal mutant CAII together with NBCe1 provided similar results, whereas co-expressing the catalytically inactive CAII mutant V143Y had no effect on NBCe1 activity. Mass spectrometric analysis and the rate of cytosolic H(+) change following addition of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) confirmed the catalytic activity of injected and expressed CAII in oocytes. Our results show that the transport capacity of NBCe1 is enhanced by the catalytic activity of CAII, in line with the notion that CAII forms a transport metabolon with NBCe1.

Abstract
A series of sulfonylated hydroxamates were synthesized and evaluated as dual inhibitors of both human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), two metalloenzyme families involved in carcinogenesis and tumor invasion processes. The new derivatives were tested on three CA isozymes, the cytosolic isozymes I and II, and the transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme IX, and also on human gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9). Some of the new derivatives proved to be potent and selective inhibitors of CA II, but only compounds 3b and 6b, devoid of the arylsulfonyl moiety, proved to have a better inhibitory activity on hCA IX than on hCA I and II, in the micromolar range.

Abstract
Metal complexing anions represent an important class of inhibitors of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). The first inhibition study of the transmembrane isozymes CA XII (tumor-associated) and XIV with anions is reported. These isozymes showed inhibition profiles with physiologic/non-physiologic anions quite distinct from any other cytosolic (CA I and II) or transmembrane isoforms (e.g., CA IX) investigated earlier. hCA XII has a good affinity for fluoride and bicarbonate but is not inhibited by heavier halides, perchlorate, nitrate, and nitrite. The best hCA XII inhibitors were cyanide (K(I) of 1 microM) and azide (K(I) of 80 microM). hCA XIV was on the other hand weakly inhibited by fluoride and not at all inhibited by perchlorate, but showed good affinity for most other anions investigated here. Chloride and bicarbonate showed K(I)s in the range of 0.75-0.77 mM for this isoform. The best hCA XIV anion inhibitors were sulfate, phenylarsonic, and phenylboronic acid (K(I) in the range of 10-92 microM).

The kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction proved hCA VI to possess a k(cat) of 3.4x10(5)s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 4.9x10(7)M(-1)s(-1) (at pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C). hCA VI has a significant catalytic activity for the physiological reaction, of the same order of magnitude as isoforms CA I or CA IX. A series of anions (such as bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, etc.) were shown to inhibit the activity of the enzyme, with inhibition constants typically in the range of 0.60-0.90mM. The best hCA VI inhibitors were cyanide, azide, sulfamide, and sulfamate, with inhibition constants in the range of 70-90microM.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are physiologically important enzymes that catalyze a reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and participate in ion transport and pH control. Two human isoenzymes, CA IX and CA XII, are overexpressed in cancer and contribute to tumor physiology. Particularly CA IX is confined to only few normal tissues but is ectopically induced in many tumor types mainly due to its strong transcriptional activation by hypoxia accomplished via HIF-1 transcription factor. Therefore, CA IX can serve as a surrogate marker of hypoxia and a prognostic indicator. CA IX appears implicated in cell adhesion and in balance of pH disturbances caused by tumor metabolism. Both tumor-related expression pattern and functional involvement in tumor progression make it a suitable target for anticancer treatment. Here we summarize a current knowledge on CA IX and CA XII, and discuss possibilities of their exploitation for cancer detection, diagnostics, and therapy.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO(2). CA is expressed in most segments of the kidney. CAII and CAIV predominate in human and rabbit kidneys; in rodent kidneys, CAXII, and CAXIV are also present. CAIX is expressed by renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Most of these isoforms, except for rodent CAIV, have high turnover rates. CAII is a cytoplasmic enzyme, whereas the others are membrane-associated; CAIV is anchored by glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage. Membrane polarity is apical for CAXIV, basolateral for CAXII, and apical and basolateral for CAIV. Luminal membrane CAs facilitate the dehydration of carbonic acid (H(2)CO(3)) that is formed when secreted protons combine with filtered bicarbonate. Basolateral CA enhances the efflux of bicarbonate via dehydration of H(2)CO(3). CAII and CAIV can associate with bicarbonate transporters (e.g., AE1, kNBC1, NBC3, and SCL26A6), and proton antiporter, NHE1 in a membrane protein complex called a transport metabolon. CAXII and CAXIV may also be associated with transporters in normal kidney and CAIX in RCCs. The multiplicity of CAs implicates their importance in acid-base and other solute transport along the nephron. For example, CAII on the cytoplasmic face and CAIV on the extracellular surface provide the 'push' and 'pull' for bicarbonate transport by supplying and dissipating substrate respectively.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyocyte growth contributes substantially to the progression of heart failure. Activation of the plasma membrane Na+-H+ exchanger (NHE1) and Cl- -HCO3- exchanger (AE3) has emerged as a central point in the hypertrophic cascade. Both NHE1 and AE3 bind carbonic anhydrase (CA), which activates their transport flux, by providing H+ and HCO3-, their respective transport substrates. We examined the contribution of CA activity to the hypertrophic response of cultured neonatal and adult rodent cardiomyocytes. Phenylephrine (PE) increased cell size by 37 +/- 2% and increased expression of the hypertrophic marker, atrial natriuretic factor mRNA, twofold in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Cell size was also increased in adult cardiomyocytes subjected to angiotensin II or PE treatment. These effects were associated with increased expression of cytosolic CAII protein and the membrane-anchored isoform, CAIV. The membrane-permeant CA inhibitor, 6-ethoxyzolamide (ETZ), both prevented and reversed PE-induced hypertrophy in a concentration-dependent manner in neonate cardiomyocytes (IC50=18 microm). ETZ and the related CA inhibitor methazolamide prevented hypertrophy in adult cardiomyocytes. In addition, ETZ inhibited transport activity of NHE1 and the AE isoform, AE3, with respective EC50 values of 1.2 +/- 0.3 microm and 2.7 +/- 0.3 microm. PE significantly increased neonatal cardiomyocyte Ca2+ transient frequency from 0.33 +/- 0.4 Hz to 0.77 +/- 0.04 Hz following 24 h treatment; these Ca2+ -handling abnormalities were completely prevented by ETZ (0.28 +/- 0.07 Hz). Our study demonstrates a novel role for CA in mediating the hypertrophic response of cardiac myocytes to PE and suggests that CA inhibition represents an effective therapeutic approach towards mitigation of the hypertrophic phenotype.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a key player in several aspects of cellular function, including acidification of intracellular organelles and regulation of extracellular pH. In specialized cells of the kidney, male reproductive tract and osteoclasts, proton secretion via the V-ATPase represents a major process for the regulation of systemic acid/base status, sperm maturation and bone resorption, respectively. These processes are regulated via modulation of the plasma membrane expression and activity of the V-ATPase. The present review describes selected aspects of V-ATPase regulation, including recycling of V-ATPase-containing vesicles to and from the plasma membrane, assembly/disassembly of the two domains (V(0) and V(1)) of the holoenzyme, and the coupling ratio between ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping. Modulation of the V-ATPase-rich cell phenotype and the pathophysiology of the V-ATPase in humans and experimental animals are also discussed.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) is one of 14 isozymes of carbonic anhydrases, zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate. Mutations in CA II in humans lead to osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis and cerebral calcifications, a disorder often associated with mental retardation. Recently, new avenues in CA II research have opened as a result of discoveries that the enzyme increases bicarbonate and proton fluxes and may play an important role in brain tissue. In the human brain, CA II was localized to oligodendrocytes, myelin, and choroid plexus epithelium. Because this conclusion was based on a few fragmentary reports, we analyzed in more detail the expression of the enzyme in human telencephalon. By immunoblotting, we found a gradual increase in CA II levels from 17 weeks' gestation to childhood and adolescence. By immunohistochemistry, CA II was found to be present not only in oligodendrocytes and choroid plexus epithelium (declining with aging in both these locations), but also in a subset of neurons mostly with GABAergic phenotype, in a few astrocytes, and transiently during brain development in the endothelial cells of microvessels. The enzyme also occurred in oligodendrocyte processes in contact with myelinating axons, myelin sheaths, and axolemma, but was either absent or appeared in minute amounts in compact myelin. These findings suggest the possible involvement of CA II in a wide spectrum of biologic processes in the developing and adult human brain and may contribute to better understanding of the pathogenesis of cerebral calcifications and mental retardation caused by CA II deficiency.

Abstract
An inhibition study of the cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme VII (hCA VII) with anions has been conducted. Cyanate, cyanide, and hydrogensulfite were weak hCA VII inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 7.3-15.2 mM). Cl- and HCO3- showed good inhibitory activity against hCA VII (K(I)s of 0.16-1.84 mM), suggesting that this enzyme is not involved in metabolons with anion exchangers or sodium bicarbonate cotransporters. The best inhibitors were sulfamate, sulfamide, phenylboronic, and phenylarsonic acid (K(I)s of 6.8-12.5 microM).
