Abstract
Swelling of human red cells activates a putative K-Cl cotransport that is not present at normal cell volume and that disappears after several hours. To determine whether regulatory volume decrease (RVD) is occurring in human erythrocytes and is responsible for the inactivation of K-Cl cotransport, the relationship between cell volume and the inactivation and reactivation of volume-sensitive (VS) K-Cl cotransport was studied. VS K influx into high K cells was transient, whereas influx into low K cells (prepared with nystatin), which are unable to shrink via K efflux, remained fully activated. Likewise, VS K efflux into hypotonic medium disappeared after 100 min in a low K medium but remained activated in a high K medium that prevented cell shrinkage. Cells that had been preincubated in hypotonic medium to inactivate VS K-Cl cotransport showed no significant recovery of VS cotransport after a 6-h incubation in isotonic medium but showed full restoration of VS cotransport after treatment with nystatin in isotonic medium to reequilibrate cell water. A pure fraction of volume-regulating (VR) cells was subsequently isolated by preincubating red cells in hypotonic medium and then subjecting them to further hypotonicity to lyse all non-VR cells. The 2.5% of cells that remained consisted of 16% reticulocytes and exhibited a Cl-dependent RVD in hypotonic medium. VS K-Cl cotransport was enriched 10-fold and Na-K-Cl cotransport was enriched 12-fold in these cells, whereas the enrichment of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-activated K-Cl cotransport was only threefold.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Cultured vascular smooth muscle cells from porcine aortas incubated in Na+ -free medium rapidly release their intracellular Na+ contents (Nai) (23 +/- 4% of baseline after 60 min incubation, mean +/- SEM of 18 experiments). Total Nai release was inhibited by 35-40% after addition of ouabain and by 60-70% after addition of ouabain + bumetanide. Norepinephrine inhibited ouabain and bumetanide-sensitives Na+ efflux with an IC50 of about 10(-9)-10(-8) M. Addition of the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (10 microM) to the cells mimicked the inhibitory action of norepinephrine on Nai release. Conversely, the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol was without effect on Nai release. Simultaneous addition of 10 microM norepinephrine and the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine prevented any effect of norepinephrine on the rate of Nai decline. In A-10 cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (10 microM) inhibited 40.0 +/- 8.1% of ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx and 70.7 +/- 6.9% of bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx (mean +/- SEM of three experiments). 50% inhibition of bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx was obtained with about 5 x 10(-7) M of phenylephrine. Our results show that in vascular smooth muscle cells a [Na+, K+, Cl-]-cotransport system is able to catalyze outward Na+ movements (in Na+ -free media) of a similar order of magnitude to those of the Na+, K+ pump and that alpha-adrenergic stimulation markedly inhibits Na+ efflux (and Rb+ influx) through these two transport systems.

Abstract
Potassium influx and efflux in Cl and NO3 media were measured in resealed ghosts prepared from human red cells. Cl-dependent K influx was three times that in intact cells and, as in intact cells, was partially supported by Br but not by thiocyanate (SCN). In other properties, this flux differed from that in intact cells: substitution of N-methylglucamine for Na did not decrease but rather increased Cl-dependent K influx, the affinity for external K was reduced, with a Km of 21.3 +/- 12.5 mM, and inhibition by furosemide and bumetanide was incomplete. Furosemide at 1 mM inhibited Cl-dependent influx by 26 and 51% at 4 and 20 mM K, respectively. Bumetanide inhibited Cl-dependent K influx by 0 and 55% at concentrations of 10 microM and 1 mM, respectively, in 4 mM K, with no further inhibition at 20 mM K. Neither the magnitude nor the properties of the flux were altered by preparing ghosts in the presence of 1,4-dithiothreitol, indicating that sulfhydryl oxidation was not responsible for the altered flux in ghosts. Treatment with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) either before or after ghost preparation did not increase Cl-dependent K influx. However, Cl-dependent influx in ghosts could be augmented by increasing ghost volume or ATP content. Resealed human erythrocyte ghosts thus exhibit a volume- and ATP-sensitive, Cl-dependent K flux that differs substantially from the putative Na-K-Cl cotransport in intact cells in that it is independent of Na, is relatively resistant to furosemide and bumetanide, and has a low affinity for K.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The binding of [3H]-bumetanide to rat brain synaptosomes revealed the existence of two binding sites. The high affinity site (R1 = 46.6 fmoles/mg protein) binds bumetanide and furosemide with Kd1 of 13 nM and 1.5 microM respectively, while the low affinity site (R2 = 1.37 nmoles/mg protein) is characterized by Kd2 of 200 microM and 680 microM for bumetanide and furosemide, respectively. Bumetanide sensitive 86Rb uptake was 34 +/- 14.5, 38.3 +/- 1.4, 18.6 +/- 1.3 and 29.0 +/- 6.1% of total 86Rb uptake in synaptic plasma membrane vesicles, rat brain synaptosomes, Neuroblastoma N1E115 cell line and chick chest muscle cells, respectively. Furosemide and bumetanide inhibited 86Rb uptake to rat brain SPM- vesicles in a dose dependent fashion. Half maximal inhibition (IC50) was observed at 20 nM and 4 microM for bumetanide and furosemide, respectively. Bumetanide-sensitive transport was dependent on extravesicular sodium and chloride concentrations with a Km of 21 and 25 mM for the two ions, respectively. These results demonstrate the existence of a "loop diuretic" sensitive carrier-mediated K+ transport system in brain and other excitable cells.

Abstract
Two methods have been described for the study of cation-chloride cotransport systems. The zero-trans efflux method is designed to determine stoichiometric relationships between cotransported ions under conditions where ion exchanges cannot occur. These exchanges (e.g., Na+/Na+, K+/K+) may occur as partial or incomplete reactions of a cotransport process and can lead to erroneous determinations of the stoichiometry of the cotransport process. The zero-trans efflux method can also be used to study the effects of cell volume, pH, and intracellular ion concentrations on cotransport processes. The valinomycin method is used to determine the electrogenicity or electroneutrality of transport, and in this regard can be used in conjunction with other methods such as those employing potential-sensitive dyes or microelectrodes. Other, more recently developed ionophores with specificity for lithium rather than potassium have now been used to study the effect of Em on the ATP-dependent Na+/K+ pump. It may be possible to use such ionophores to confirm the suspected electroneutrality of (K+ + Cl-) cotransport systems, as well as for other studies of specific potassium transport processes in which valinomycin obviously cannot be used. Both methods discussed in detail in this chapter, and particularly the valinomycin method, were originally devised for use in red blood cells in order to take advantage of (or circumvent) properties of the red cell membrane, such as its low permeability to sodium and potassium and relatively high permeability to chloride. However, valinomycin has been used successfully to demonstrate the electroneutrality of (Na+ + K+ + 2Cl-) cotransport in MDCK cells, and the zero-trans efflux method should be applicable to the study of transport processes in other types of cells in suspension, so long as the transport system being studied can be accurately defined (e.g., as an inhibitor-sensitive or chloride-dependent cation flux) and comprises a significant fraction of the total salt efflux.

Abstract
The mode of influx of 86Rb+, a K+ congener, to exponentially proliferating L1210 murine leukemia cells, incubated in a Krebs-Ringer buffer, has been characterised. The influx was composed of a ouabain-sensitive fraction (approx. 40%), a loop diuretic-sensitive fraction (approx. 40%) and a fraction which was insensitive to both types of inhibitor (approx. 15%). The fraction of ouabain-insensitive 86Rb+ influx, which was fully inhibited by furosemide (1 mM) or bumetanide (100 microM), was completely inhibited when Cl- was completely substituted by nitrate or gluconate ions, but was slightly (29 +/- 12%) stimulated if the Cl- was substituted by Br-. The substitution of Na+ by Li+, choline or tetramethylammonium ions inhibited the loop diuretic-sensitive fraction of 86Rb+ uptake. These results suggested that a component of 86Rb+ influx to L1210 cells was mediated via a Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter. 86Rb+ efflux from L1210 cells which had been equilibrated with 86Rb+ and incubated in the presence or absence of 1 mM ouabain, was insensitive to the loop diuretics. Additionally, efflux rates were found to be independent of the external concentration of K+, suggesting that efflux was not mediated by K+-K+ exchange. The initial rate of 86Rb+ influx to L1210 cells in the plateau phase of growth was reduced to 44% of that of exponentially dividing cells, the reduction being accounted for by significant decreases in both ouabain- and loop diuretic-sensitive influx; these cells were reduced in volume compared to cells in the exponential phase of cell growth. In cells which had been deprived of serum for 18 h, and which showed an increase of the proportion of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, the addition of serum stimulated an immediate increase in the furosemide-sensitive component of 86Rb+ influx. Diuretic-sensitive 86Rb+ influx was not altered by the incubation of the cells with 100 microM dibutyryl cyclic AMP, but was inhibited by 10 microM of the cross-linking agent nitrogen mustard (bis(2-chloro-ethyl)methylamine, HN2).

Abstract
A Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport pathway has been examined in the HT29 human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line using 86Rb as the K congener. Ouabain-resistant bumetanide-sensitive (OR-BS) K+ influx in attached HT29 cells was 17.9 +/- 0.9 nmol/min per mg protein at 25 degrees C. The identity of this pathway as a Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter has been deduced from the following findings: (a) OR-BS K+ influx ceased if the external Cl- (Cl-o) was replaced by NO3- or the external Na+ (Na+o) by choline; (b) neither OR-BS 24Na+ nor 36Cl- influx was detectable in the absence of external K+ (K+o); and (c) concomitant measurements of 86Rb+, 22Na+, and 36Cl- influx indicated that the stoichiometry of the cotransport system approached a ratio of 1N+:1K+:2Cl-. In addition, OR-BS K+ influx was exquisitely sensitive to cellular ATP levels. Depletion of the normal ATP content of 35-40 nmol/mg protein to 10-15 nmol/mg protein, a concentration at which the ouabain-sensitive K+ influx was unaffected, completely abolished K+ cotransport. OR-BS K+ influx was slightly reduced by the divalent cations Ca2+, Ba2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+. Although changes in cell volume, whether shrinking or swelling, did not influence OR-BS K+ influx, ouabain-sensitive K+ influx was activated by cell swelling. As in T84 cells, we found that the OR-BS K+ influx in HT29 cells was stimulated by exogenous cyclic AMP analogues and by augmented cyclic AMP content in response to vasoactive intestinal peptide, forskolin, norepinephrine and forskolin or prostaglandin E1.

Abstract
Ouabain-resistant effluxes from pretreated cells containing K+/Na+ = 1.5 into K+ and Na+ free media were measured. Furosemide-sensitive cation effluxes from cells with nearly normal membrane potential and pH were lower in NO3- media than in Cl- media; they were reduced when pH was lowered in Cl- media. When the membrane potential was positive inside furosemide increased the effluxes of Na+ and K+ (7 experiments). With inside-positive membrane potential the furosemide-insensitive effluxes were markedly increased, they decreased with decreasing pH at constant internal Cl- and also when internal Cl- was reduced at constant pH. The correlation between cation flux and the membrane potential was different for cells with high or low internal chloride concentrations. The data with chloride greater than or equal to 47 mM showed a better fit with the single-barrier model than with the infinite number-of-barriers model. With low chloride no significant correlation between flux and membrane potential was found. The data are not compatible with pure independent diffusion of Na+ and K+ in the presence of ouabain and furosemide.

Abstract
Bumetanide-binding proteins were isolated from membranes of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells by affinity chromatography. An affinity column was constructed with the active moiety of bumetanide as a ligand using 4'-azidobumetanide, a photoactive analogue which inhibits Na/Cl cotransport in Ehrlich cells with high specificity. Covalent binding of the 4'-azidobumetanide with Sepharose was promoted by photolysis. Membranes isolated from Ehrlich cells were solubilized with n-octylglucoside. Solubilized proteins retarded by the affinity column were readily eluted by bumetanide. In reducing gels the major proteins eluted by bumetanide were approximately 76 kDa and 38-39 kDa. There were also two proteins of 32 to 35 kDa eluted in lesser amounts. No proteins retarded by the affinity column were eluted with extensive washing without bumetanide. Furthermore, bumetanide eluted no proteins from a "control" column lacking the specific ligand. Upon rechromatography with bumetanide in solution, bumetanide-eluted proteins were not retarded, but their purity was increased by the retardation of contaminating proteins. Bumetanide-binding protein purified in this manner were characterized further by electrophoresis in nonreducing, nondenaturing gels.

Abstract
The erythrocytes of the trout, Salmo gairdneri, react to beta-adrenergic stimulation by activating a cyclic AMP-dependent and amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ antiporter (see Borgese, F., F. Garcia-Romeu, and R. Motais, Journal of General Physiology, 1986, 87:551-566). The present study traces the kinetic behavior of the unidirectional Na fluxes after stimulation by isoproterenol. A very considerable increase (100-fold) of the unidirectional Na influx (JNa(in)) follows the addition of isoproterenol to the erythrocyte suspension. After 1.5 min, JNa(in) falls suddenly, and asymptotically diminishes toward the nonstimulated flux level. The unidirectional Na efflux (JNa(out)) proceeds according to similar kinetics. The decrease of JNa(in) and JNa(out)is not linked to either a change in the driving forces of the transported ions or a decrease of the cyclic AMP concentration but to a desensitization of the Na+/H+ antiporter. This desensitization is dependent on the external Na concentration and is not controlled by internal Na, cell swelling, or external Ca.

Abstract
We have used a radiolabelled, benzophenone analog of bumetanide, 4-[3H]benzoyl-5-sulfamoyl-3-(3-thenyloxy)benzoic acid ([3H]BSTBA) to photolabel plasma membranes from duck red blood cells. BSTBA, like bumetanide, is a loop diuretic and a potent inhibitor of (Na + K + Cl) cotransport, and [3H]BSTBA binds to intact duck red cells with a high affinity similar to that of [3H]bumetanide (K 1/2 congruent to 0.1 microM). We incubated duck red cells with [3H]BSTBA, then lysed the cells and exposed the ghosts to ultraviolet light. The ghosting and photolysis was done at 0 degree C to prevent dissociation of the [3H]BSTBA. The ghosts were then sonicated to remove the nuclei and run on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Analysis of H2O2-digested gel slices revealed [3H]BSTBA to be incorporated into a protein of approx. 150 kDa. This is the same molecular weight we obtain for a protein from dog kidney membranes which is photolabelled by [3H]BSTBA in a manner highly consistent with labelling of the (Na + K + Cl) cotransporter (Haas and Forbush (1987) Am. J. Physiol. 253, C243-C252). Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that the 150 kDa protein from duck red cell membranes is an integral component of the (Na + K + Cl)-cotransport system in these cells: (1) Photolabelling of this protein by [3H]BSTBA is blocked when 10 microM unlabelled bumetanide is included in the initial incubation medium with [3H]BSTBA; (2) Photoincorporation of [3H]BSTBA into the 150 kDa protein is markedly increased when the initial incubation medium is hypertonic or contains norepinephrine, conditions which similarly stimulate both (Na + K + Cl) cotransport and saturable [3H]bumetanide binding in duck red cells; (3) The photolabelling of this protein shows a saturable dependence on [3H]BSTBA concentration, with a K1/2 (0.06 microM) similar to that for the reversible, saturable binding of [3H]BSTBA and [3H]bumetanide to duck red cells; and (4) [3H]BSTBA photoincorporation into the 150 kDa protein, like saturable [3H]bumetanide binding to intact cells, requires the simultaneous presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the medium containing the radiolabelled diuretic.

Abstract
The role of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter in the regulation of the volume of C6 astrocytoma cells was analyzed using isotopic fluxes and cell cytometry measurements of the cell volume. The system was inhibited by 'loop diuretics' with the following order of potency: benzmetanide greater than bumetanide greater than piretanide greater than furosemide. Under physiological conditions of osmolarity of the incubation media, equal rates of bumetanide-sensitive inward and outward K+ fluxes were observed. Blockade of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter with bumetanide did not lead to a modification in the mean cell volume. When C6 cells were incubated in an hyperosmotic solution, a cell shrinkage was observed. It was accompanied by a twofold increase in the activity of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport, which then catalyzed the net influx of K+. In spite of this increased activity, no cell swelling could be measured. Incubation of the cells in an iso-osmotic medium deprived of either Na+, K+ or Cl- also produced cell shrinkage. Large activations (up to tenfold) of the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport together with a cell swelling back to the normal volume were observed upon returning ion-deprived C6 cells to a physiological solution. This cell swelling was completely prevented in the presence of bumetanide. It is concluded that the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport system is one of the transport systems involved in volume regulation of glial cells. The system can either be physiologically quiescent or active depending on the conditions used. A distinct volume regulating mechanism is the Na+/H+ exchange system.

Abstract
1. The role of Na/H exchange in cell volume and pH regulation is discussed. In addition the roles of Cl/HCO3 exchange and system buffers are evaluated as they relate to Na/H exchange-dependent changes in cell salt and water content and intracellular pH. 2. Data obtained from studies of Amphiuma red blood cells showed that in addition to previously reported Na/H exchange dependent volume regulation the pathway is also involved in regulating cell pH. 3. These data showed that in contrast to volume activated Na/H exchange, when the pathway is pH activated it does not deactivate as a function of cell volume. 4. Given what appeared to be mutually exclusive volume and pH regulatory functions of the Na/H exchange, we hypothesized that the pathway might play a role in hypoxic cell swelling (cytotoxic edema). 5. In studies performed on perfused rabbit hearts employing 23Na NMR we were able to observe that relative to normoxic controls hypoxic hearts exhibited a five-fold increase in intracellular Na content when the Na-K pump was inhibited by ouabain and/or K-free perfusate. 6. These studies lead us to conclude that hypoxia-induced Na uptake is the result of an increased inward Na leak as opposed to decreased Na pumping. 7. Based upon studies with a variety of inhibitors of dissipative Na transport, we conclude that the increased inward Na leak in hypoxic hearts is via Na/H exchange.

Abstract
The volume regulatory response of the Ehrlich ascites tumor was studied in KCl-depleted, Na+-enriched cells. Subsequent incubation in K+-containing NaCl medium results in the reaccumulation of K+, Cl-, water and the extrusion of Na+. The establishment of the physiological steady state is due primarily to the activity of 2 transport systems. One is the Na/K pump (KM for K+o = 3.5 mM; Jmax = 30.1 mEq/kg dry min), which in these experiments was coupled 1K+/1 Na+. The second is the Cl--dependent (Na+ + K+) cotransport system (KM for K+o = 6.8 mM; Jmax = 20.8 mEq/kg dry min) which mediates, in addition to net ion uptake in the ratio of 1K+:1Na+:2Cl-, the exchange of K+i for K+o. The net passive driving force on the cotransport system is initially inwardly directed but does not decrease to zero at the steady state. This raises the possibility of the involvement of an additional source of energy. Although cell volume increases concomitant with net ion uptake, this change does not appear to be a major factor regulating the activity of the cotransport system.

Abstract
The coupled movements of Na, K, and Cl were studied in cultured chick embryonic heart cells using ion-selective microelectrodes. Movements of K and Cl in response to changes in extracellular [K] ([K]o) showed a furosemide-sensitive coupled process. The movement of Na was then studied. Lowering extracellular [Na] ([Na]o) to 27 mM caused a decrease in intracellular Cl activity (aicl). Upon restoring [Na]o to 143 mM, Cl was taken up against its electrochemical gradient (delta mu Cl). In Cl-free solution, cells lost Na against delta mu Na and simultaneously lost Cl. Upon restoring extracellular [Cl] ([Cl]o), Cl was taken up against delta mu Cl; this was accompanied by an uptake of Na. The Cl uptake was 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS)-insensitive (0.1 mM) but inhibited by removing Nao. Both Cl and Na uptakes were potentiated by raising [K]o from 5.4 to 15 mM, and Na uptake was diminished by lowering [K]o to 1 mM. In all experiments, Cl and Na movements were furosemide (0.3 mM) or bumetanide-sensitive (0.1 mM). Removal of Nao, with resultant depletion of intracellular [Na] ([Na]i), blocked the furosemide or bumetanide-sensitive Cl loss or uptake upon exposure to zero or 133 mM [K]o + SITS (0.1 mM), respectively. These results suggest that cultured heart cells possess an electroneutral (Na + K + 2Cl) cotransport.

Abstract
Exposure of Amphiuma red blood cells to millimolar concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) resulted in net K loss. In order to determine whether net K loss was conductive or was by electroneutral K/H exchange or KCl cotransport, studies were performed evaluating K flux in terms of the thermodynamic forces to which K flux by the above pathways should couple. The direction and magnitude of the NEM-induced net K flux did not correspond with the direction and magnitude of the forces relevant to K conductance or electroneutral KCl cotransport. Both the magnitude and direction of the NEM-activated K flux responded to the driving force for K/H exchange. We therefore conclude that NEM-induced K loss, like that by osmotically swollen Amphiuma red blood cells, is by an electroneutral K/H exchanger. In addition to the above studies, we evaluated the kinetic behavior of the volume- and NEM-induced K/H exchange flux pathways in media where Cl was replaced by SCN, NO3, para-aminohippurate (PAH), or gluconate. The anion replacement studies did not permit a distinction between K/H exchange and KCl cotransport, since, depending upon the anion used as a Cl replacement, partial inhibition or stimulation of volume-activated K/H exchange fluxes was observed. In contrast, all anions used were stimulatory to the NEM-induced K loss. Since, on the basis of force-flow analysis, both volume-and NEM-induced K loss are K/H exchange, it was necessary to reevaluate assumptions (i.e., anions serve as substrates and therefore probe the translocation step) associated with the use of anion replacement as a means of flux route identification. When viewed together with the force-flow studies, the Cl replacement studies suggest that anion effects upon K/H exchange are indirect. The different anions appear to alter mechanisms that couple NEM exposure and cell swelling to the activation of K/H exchange, as opposed to exerting direct effects upon K and H translocation.

Abstract
This review summarizes our present understanding of Na-K-Cl cotransport and its physiological role in absorption and secretion of electrolytes and water in epithelial tissues. In the past several years an extensive literature about this cotransporter has developed due to its widespread distribution in a variety of cell types and its essential role in fluid and electrolyte transport in several epithelial tissues. We summarize this literature and speculate on the future characterization of this transport system. Although this review focuses on cotransport as it relates to absorptive and secretory processes in epithelia, important information concerning the pharmacology, stoichiometry, and regulation of Na-K-Cl cotransport in nonepithelial systems (i.e., erythrocytes, fibroblasts, squid axon, etc.) has been included to supplement areas that are less well established in the epithelial literature.

Abstract
The effect of a transmembrane pH gradient on the ouabain, bumetanide, and phloretin resistant H+ efflux was studied in rabbit erythrocytes. Proton equilibration was reduced by the use of DIDS (125 microM) and acetazolamide (1 mM). H+ efflux from acid loaded erythrocytes (pHi = 6.1) was measured in a K+ (145 mM) medium, pH0 = 8.0, in the presence and absence of 60 microM 5,N,N-dimethyl-amiloride (DMA). The H+ efflux rate in a K+-containing medium was 116.38 +/- 4.5 mmol/l cell X hr. Substitution of Nao+ for Ko+ strongly stimulated H+ efflux to 177.89 +/- 7.9 mmol/l cell X hr. The transtimulation of H+ efflux by Nao+ was completely abolished by DMA falling to values not different from controls with an ID50 of about 8.6 X 10(-7) M. The sequence of substrate selectivities for the external transport site were Na greater than greater than greater than Li greater than choline, Cs, K, and Glucamine. The transport system has no specific anion requirement, but is inhibited by NO3-. The DMA sensitive H+ efflux was a saturable function of [Na+]o, with an apparent Km and Vmax of about 14.75 +/- 1.99 mM and 85.37 +/- 7.68 mmol/l cell X hr, respectively. However, the Nao+-dependent and DMA-sensitive H+ efflux was sigmoidally activated by [H+]i, suggesting that Hi+ interacts at both transport and modifier sites. An outwardly directed H+ gradient (pHi 6.1, pH = 8.0) also promoted DMA sensitive Na+ entry (61.2 +/- 3.0 mmol/l cell X hr) which was abolished when pHo was reduced to 6.0. The data is therefore consistent with the presence of a Na+/H+ exchange system in rabbit erythrocytes.

Abstract
Furosemide-inhibitable Na influx (a measure of Na/K/Cl cotransport) was determined as a function of membrane potential in human red blood cells. The membrane potential was varied from -42 to +118 mV using valinomycin and gradients of K. The furosemide-inhibitable, unidirectional Na influx was independent of membrane potential over the entire range of potentials. The change in flux per mV, 0.443 mumol/(liter cells.hr.mV), was not significantly different from zero. The mean flux was 153 +/- 16 mumol/(liter cells.hr) (+/- SEM, n = 71). The ouabain and furosemide-resistant influxes of Na and K were also measured as functions of membrane potential using either valinomycin and K or a chloride-free, tartrate flux medium to vary membrane potential. The unidirectional Na influx decreased slightly as the membrane potential was increased from negative potentials to about +10 mV. At higher membrane potentials Na influx rose dramatically with potential. This increase was not reversible and was also observed with K influx.

Abstract
Swelling hemoglobin CC erythrocytes stimulates a ouabain-insensitive K flux that restores original cell volume. This volume regulatory pathway was characterized for its anion dependence, sensitivity to loop diuretics, and requirement for Na. The swelling-induced K flux was eliminated if intracellular chloride was replaced by nitrate and both swelling-activated K influx and efflux were partially inhibited by 1 mM furosemide or bumetanide. K influx in swollen hemoglobin CC cells was not diminished when Na in the incubation medium was replaced with choline, indicating Na independence of the swelling-induced flux. Identical experiments with hemoglobin AA cells also demonstrated a swelling-induced increase in K flux, but the magnitude and duration of this increase were considerably less than that seen with hemoglobin CC cells. The increased K flux in hemoglobin AA cells was likewise sensitive to anion replacement and to loop diuretics and did not require the presence of Na. These data indicate that a volume-activated K pathway with similar transport characteristics exists in both hemoglobin CC and AA red cells.

Abstract
The effect of extracellular and intracellular Na+ (Nao+, Nai+) on ouabain-resistant, furosemide-sensitive (FS) Rb+ transport was studied in human erythrocytes under varying experimental conditions. The results obtained are consistent with the view that a (1 Na+ + 1 K+ + 2 Cl-) cotransport system operates in two different modes: mode i) promoting bidirectional 1:1 (Na+-K+) cotransport, and mode ii) a Nao+-independent 1:1 ki+ exchange requiring Nai+ which, however, is not extruded. The activities of the two modes of operation vary strictly in parallel to each other among erythrocytes of different donors and in cell fractions of individual donors separated according to density. Rb+ uptake through Rbo+/Ki+ exchange contributes about 25% to total Rb+ uptake in 145 mM NaCl media containing 5 mM RbCl at normal Nai+ (pH 7.4). Na+-K+ cotransport into the cells occurs largely additive to K+/K+ exchange. Inward Na+-Rb+ cotransport exhibits a substrate inhibition at high Rbo+. With increasing pH, the maximum rate of cotransport is accelerated at the expense of K+/K+ exchange (apparent pK close to pH 7.4). The apparent KmRbo+ of Na+-K+ cotransport is low (2 mM) and almost independent of pH, and high for K+/K+ exchange (10 to 15 mM), the affinity increasing with pH. The two modes are discussed in terms of a partial reaction scheme of (1 Na+ + 1 K+ + 2 Cl-) cotransport with ordered binding and debinding, exhibiting a glide symmetry (first on outside = first off inside) as proposed by McManus for duck erythrocytes (McManus, T.J., 1987, Fed. Proc., in press). N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) chemically induces a Cl--dependent K+ transport pathway that is independent of both Nao+ and Nai+. This pathway differs in many properties from the basal, Nao+-independent K+/K+ exchange active in untreated human erythrocytes at normal cell volume. Cell swelling accelerates a Nao+-independent FS K+ transport pathway which most probably is not identical to basal K+/K+ exchange. Ko+ less than Nao+ less than Lio+ less than Mgo2+ reduce furosemide-resistant Rb+ inward leakage relative to cholineo+.

Abstract
Cholinergically stimulated Cl and HCO3 transport in perfused rabbit mandibular glands has been studied with extracellular anion substitution and administration of transport inhibitors. In glands perfused with HCO3-free solutions, replacement of Cl with other anions supported secretion in the following sequence: Br = greater than Cl greater than I = greater than NO3 greater than isethionate. Furosemide, 1.0 and 0.1 mmol/l, inhibited Cl-supported secretion by 97-99% and 70-78%, respectively. SITS, 0.1 mmol/l, had no effect and amiloride, 1.0 mmol/l, caused a 55-65% inhibition. Addition of SITS to amiloride-treated glands produced no further effect. In glands perfused with Cl-free solutions, but containing 25 mM HCO3, amiloride, 1.0 mmol/l, inhibited secretion by 95% and methazolamide, 0.1 mmol/l, by 55%. In glands perfused with solutions containing both HCO3 and Cl, furosemide had smaller effects than in glands perfused with solutions containing only Cl - a dose of 1.0 mmol/l inhibited 60% of the initial fast phase of secretion, and 90% of the later plateau phase, while a dose of 0.1 mmol/l inhibited 30% of the initial phase, but had no effect on the plateau. SITS, 0.1 mmol/l, actually stimulated secretion by about 30%, but when infused in addition to furosemide (0.1 mmol/l), it inhibited by about 20%. Amiloride (1.0 mmol/l) caused no inhibition. The results suggest that there are at least three distinct carriers in the rabbit mandibular gland. One is a furosemide-sensitive Na-coupled Cl (probably Na-K-2Cl) symport, responsible for the bulk of normal secretion. The others are an amiloride-sensitive Na-H antiport and a SITS-sensitive Cl-HCO3 antiport.

Abstract
3-Amino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acids and several series of (aryloxy)alkanoic acids were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on two human erythrocyte ion transport systems--the Na+,K+ cotransport system and the DIDS-sensitive anion carrier. Several classic loop diuretics, including the (aryloxy)alkanoic acid-ethacrynic acid and several 3-amino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acids, like bumetanide and furosemide, displayed relatively strong inhibitory activity versus the cotransport system with relatively weaker action versus the anion carrier. Furthermore, diuretic potency correlated with cotransport inhibitory potency. Another class of (aryloxy)alkanoic acids, namely the [(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-yl)oxy]acetic acids, such as indacrinone and MK-473, which exhibit less potent loop diuretic activity, were less potent cotransport inhibitors and more effective inhibitors of the anion carrier. Still other (aryloxy)alkanoic acids, with little saliuretic activity, namely a sub-class of [(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-yl)oxy]alkanoic acids and a series of [(2,3,9,9a-tetrahydro-1H-fluoren-7-yl)oxy]acetic acids displayed little or no inhibitory action on the cotransport system but enhanced inhibitory action on the anion carrier. Most interestingly, the relative anion carrier inhibitory potency correlated well with the relative inhibitory activity of each compound on bicarbonate-stimulated cell swelling in cat cerebrocortical slices.

Abstract
Nystatin (50 micrograms/ml) had strong influence on the intracellular contents and membrane transports of monovalent ions and water in HeLa cells. The nystatin-induced changes in the intracellular ion content and cell volume were inhibited by sucrose, and Donnan and osmotic equilibria were attained. Using cells under conditions for these equilibria, the concentrations of intracellular impermeant solutes, their mean valence, the differences of their intra- and extracellular osmotic concentrations, and the circumferential tension of the cell membrane were determined. Stimulation by nystatin of the influx of one cation species, e.g. Rb, was inhibited by another cation species, e.g. Na. The stimulatory effect of nystatin on cation fluxes was reversible within 1 hr after ionophore addition, and after 1-hr treatment the intracellular contents of Na and K became proportional to their extracellular concentrations, provided that the sum of these concentrations was constant (300 mM). Similar proportionality was also observed in the presence of choline, provided that the choline concentration was less than those of the alkali cations. The implications of these results in relation to the osmotic properties of cultured cells, and the experimental regulation of alkali cations in the cells, are discussed.

Abstract
Nervous or hormonal stimulation of salivary secretion in vivo is associated with a pronounced efflux of K+ from the secretory, acinar cells into the blood. This K+ efflux is followed in the post-stimulus period by a reuptake of K+ into the glandular tissue. In the present study we monitor the changes in [K+] of physiological solutions perfusing a flow chamber containing isolated segments of mouse submandibular glands. Nervous stimulation or the application of exogenous acetylcholine (ACh, 10(-5) M) to the isolated glandular tissue results in characteristic changes in the [K+] of the superfusate, indicating net K+ release followed by K+ reuptake. The post-stimulus reuptake of K+ is shown to be susceptible to blockade by either ouabain (10(-3) M) or piretanide (10(-4) M). The reuptake was markedly attenuated if Cl- in the superfusate was replaced by either NO3- or SO4(2-). The K+ uptake was, however, unaffected when Br- replaced Cl- in the superfusate. Similar effects were observed in the unstimulated glandular tissues. The introduction of Cl-(-)free media containing either NO3- or SO4(2-) resulted in a loss of K+ from the tissue which was followed, upon reintroduction of Cl-, by a pronounced uptake of K+. When Br- was substituted for Cl- there was very little change in [K+] upon removal or reintroduction of Cl-. The uptake of K+ induced by reintroduction of Cl- after a period of NO3- or SO4(2-) superfusion was blocked by both ouabain and piretanide. This uptake of K+ was also dependent on the presence of extracellular Na+. Both Cl- and Na+ had to be present in the superfusing medium for K+ uptake to be fully manifest. These findings indicate that the K+ uptake observed in both the resting and stimulated submandibular gland cannot be explained as solely due to the activity of the Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+-ATPase). The demonstrated anionic selectivity, dependence on extracellular Na+ and susceptibility to blockade by the diuretic piretanide would strongly suggest that a coupled Na+-K+-Cl- co-transport system operates in submandibular glands as it does in other transporting epithelia to achieve K+ uptake.

Abstract
In the case of the red blood cell, anion transport is a highly specific one-for-one exchange catalyzed by a major membrane protein known as band 3 or as capnophorin. This red cell anion-exchange system mediates the Cl-(-)HCO3- exchange responsible for most of the bicarbonate transport capacity of the blood. The rapidly expanding knowledge of the molecular biology and the transport kinetics of this specialized transport system is very briefly reviewed in Section III. Exchange diffusion mechanisms for anions are found in many cells other than erythrocytes. The exchange diffusion system in Ehrlich cells has several similarities to that in red cells. In several cell types (subsection IV-B), there is evidence that intracellular pH regulation depends on Cl-(-)HCO3- exchange processes. Anion exchange in other single cells is described in Section IV, and its role in pH regulation is described in Section VII. Anion exchange mechanism operating in parallel with, and only functionally linked to Na+-H+ or K+-H+ exchange mechanisms can also play a role in cell volume regulation as described in Section VII. In the Ehrlich ascites cell and other vertebrate cells, electroneutral anion transfer has been found to occur also by a cotransport system for cations and chloride operating in parallel with the exchange diffusion system. The cotransport system is capable of mediating secondary active chloride influx. In avian red cells, the cotransport system has been shown to be activated by adrenergic agonists and by cyclic AMP, suggesting that the cotransport is involved in regulatory processes (see subsection V-A.). In several cell types, cotransport systems are activated and play a role during volume regulation, as described in Section V and in Section VII. It is also likely that this secondary active cotransport of chloride plays a significant role for the apparently active extrusion of acid equivalents from certain cells. If a continuous influx of chloride against an electrochemical gradient is maintained by a cotransport system, the chloride disequilibrium can drive an influx of bicarbonate through the anion exchange mechanism, as described in Section VII. Finally, even the electrodiffusion of anions is shown to be regulated, and in Ehrlich cells and human lymphocytes an activation of the anion diffusion pathway plays a major role in cell volume regulation as described in Section VI and subsection VII-B.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Furosemide-inhibitable K influx is threefold higher in resealed ghosts of human erythrocytes than in intact cells. The enhancement is specific for K in that furosemide-inhibitable Na influx is the same in resealed ghosts and intact cells. The enhanced K influx resembles K-Cl cotransport in intact cells in that it requires Cl but not Na. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), which stimulates furosemide-inhibitable K influx in intact cells, is without effect (or slightly inhibitory) in resealed ghosts. The failure of NEM to enhance the flux was not due to low ATP in the ghosts. These findings suggest that enhancement of the K flux in ghosts occurs by oxidation of membrane protein sulfhydryl groups, known to occur with lysis, the same sulfhydryl groups at which NEM acts by alkylation. This conclusion is supported by two observations: dithiothreitol completely prevents the increase in K influx in ghosts; this agent inhibits both oxidation of sulfhydryl groups and alkylation of them by NEM; and K influx in resealed ghosts is sensitive to changes in cell volume, just as it is in NEM-treated intact cells.

Abstract
A basic mathematical model of human red cells is presented which integrates the charge and nonideal osmotic behavior of hemoglobin and of other impermeant cell solutes with the ion transport properties of the red cell membrane. The computing strategy was designed to predict the behavior of all measurable variables in time in ways that optimize comparison with experimentally determined behavior. The need and applications of such a model are illustrated in three separate examples covering different areas of experimentation in the physiology and pathophysiology of red cells.

Abstract
Na-K-Cl cotransport stoichiometry and affinities for Na, K and Cl were determined in flounder intestine. Measurement of simultaneous NaCl and RbCl influxes resulted in ratios of 2.2 for Cl/Na and 1.8 for Cl/Rb. The effect of Na and Rb on Rb influx showed first order kinetics with K1/2 values of 5 and 4.5 mM and Hill coefficients of 0.9 and 1.2, respectively. The effect of Cl on rubidium influx showed a sigmoidal relationship with K1/2 of 20 mM and a Hill coefficient of 2.0. The effects of variations in Na and Cl concentration on short-circuit current (Isc) were also determined. The K1/2 for Na was 7 mM with a Hill coefficient of 0.9 and the K1/2 for Cl was 46 mM with a Hill coefficient of 1.9. Based on the simultaneous influx measurements, a cotransport stoichiometry of 1Na:1K:2Cl is concluded. The Hill coefficients for Cl suggest a high degree of cooperativity between Cl binding sites. Measurements of the ratio of net Na and Cl transepithelial fluxes under short-circuit conditions (using a low Na Ringer solution to minimize the passive Na flux) indicate that the Cl/Na flux ratio is approximately 2:1. Therefore, Na recycling from serosa to mucosa does not significantly contribute to the Isc. Addition of serosal ouabain (100 microM) inhibited Rb influx, indicating that Na-K-Cl cotransport is inhibited by ouabain. This finding suggests that a feedback mechanism exists between the Na-K-ATPase on the basolateral membrane and the apical Na-K-2Cl cotransporter.

Abstract
The loop diuretics inhibit a transport system that moves sodium, potassium and chloride across cell membranes of many tissues, including the thick ascending loop of Henle. This inhibitory effect is responsible for their natriuretic effect. Of the agents available for clinical use, bumetanide is the most powerful; it has an in vitro transport inhibitory potency and an in vivo natriuretic effectiveness that is approximately 50-fold that of furosemide. This increased potency and the consequent decreased dose requirement give bumetanide the potential for increased effectiveness and decreased incidence of adverse effects.

Abstract
We report in this paper different modes of Na and K transport in human red cells, which can be inhibited by furosemide in the presence of ouabain. Experimental evidence is provided for inward and outward coupled transport of Na and K, Ki/Ko and Nai/Nao exchange, and uncoupled Na or K efflux. The outward cotransport of Na and K was defined as the furosemide-sensitive (FS) component of Na and K effluxes into choline medium and as the Cl-dependent or cis-stimulated component of the ouabain-resistant (OR) Na and K effluxes. Inward cotransport of Na and K was defined by the stimulation by external Na (Nao) of the K influx and the stimulation by external K (Ko) of the Na influx in the presence of ouabain. Both effects were FS and Cl dependent. Experimental evidence for an FS Ki/Ko exchange pathway of the Na/K cotransport was provided by (a) the stimulation by external K of FS K influx and efflux, and (b) the stimulation by internal Na or K of FS K influx in the absence of external Na. Evidence for an FS Nai/Nao exchange pathway was provided by the stimulation of FS Na influx by internal Na from a K-free medium (130 mM NaCl). This pathway was four to six times smaller than the Ki/Ko exchange. In cells containing only Na or K, incubated in media containing only Na or K, respectively, there was FS efflux of the cation without simultaneous inward transport (FS uncoupled Na and K efflux). The stoichiometric ratio of FS outward cotransport of Na and K into choline medium varied with the ratio of Nai-to-Ki concentrations, and when Nai/Ki was close to 1, the ratio of FS outward Na to K flux was also 1. In choline media, FS Na efflux was inhibited by external K (noncompetitively), whereas FS k efflux was stimulated. The stimulation of FS K efflux was due to the stimulation by Ko of the Ki/Ko exchange pathway. Thus, the stoichiometry of FS Na and K effluxes also varied in the presence of external K. A minimal model for a reaction scheme of FS Na and K transport accounts for cis stimulation, trans inhibition, and trans stimulation, and for variable stoichiometry of the FS cation fluxes.

Abstract
This paper reports experiments designed to find the concentrations of internal and external Na and K at which inward and outward furosemide-sensitive (FS) Na and K fluxes are equal, so that there is no net FS movement of Na and K. The red cell cation content was modified by using the ionophore nystatin, varying cell Na (Nai) from 0 to 34 mM (K substitution, high-K cells) and cell K (Ki) from 0 to 30 mM (Na substitution, high-Na cells). All incubation media contained NaCl (Nao = 130 or 120 nM), and KCl (Ko = 0-30 mM). In high-K cells, incubated in the absence of Ko, there was net extrusion of Na through the FS pathway. The net FS Na extrusion increased when Nai was increased. Low concentrations of Ko (0-6 mM) slightly stimulated, whereas higher concentrations of Ko inhibited, FS Na efflux. Increasing Ko stimulated the FS Na influx (K0.5 = 4 mM). Under conditions similar to those that occur in vivo (Nai = 10, Ki = 130, Nao = 130, Ko = 4 mM, Cli/Clo = 0.7), net extrusion of Na occurs through the FS pathway (180-250 mumol/liter cell X h). The concentration of Ko at which the FS Na influx and efflux and the FS K influx and efflux become equal increased when Nai increased in high-K cells and when Ki was increased in high-Na cells. The net FS Na and K fluxes both approached zero at similar internal and external Na and K concentrations. In high-K cells, under conditions when net Na and K fluxes were near zero, the ratio of FS Na to FS K unidirectional flux was found to be 2:3. In high-K cells, the empirical expression (Nai/Nao)2(Ki/Ko)3 remained at constant value (apparent equilibrium constant, Kappeq +/- SEM = 22 +/- 2) for each set of internal and external cation concentrations at which there was no net Na flux. These results indicate that in the physiological region of concentrations of internal and external Na, K, and Cl, the stoichiometry of the FS Na and K fluxes is 2 Na:3 K. In high-Na cells under conditions when net FS Na and K fluxes were near zero, the ratio of FS Na to FS K unidirectional fluxes was 3:2 (1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Plasma membrane vesicles were isolated from rabbit kidney outer medulla and employed in sodium, rubidium, and chloride flux studies. Chloride dependence and bumetanide sensitivity of (part of) the sodium and rubidium flux indicate that this plasma membrane fraction can be used to study the properties of Na-K-2Cl cotransport system present in the luminal membrane of the medullary thick ascending limb. The anion specificity of the cotransporter was investigated by determining the effect of anion replacement on sodium fluxes. When chloride was completely replaced by bromide, iodide, nitrate, or thiocyanate only bromide could effectively substitute for chloride (90% activity), whereas sodium uptake in the presence of iodide, nitrate, and thiocyanate amounted to only 25% of the sodium uptake observed in the presence of chloride. When similar replacement experiments were performed in the presence of 10 mmol/l chloride, bromide could substitute for chloride by 110%, iodide and nitrate by 60%, and thiocyanate by 70%. In the presence of 10 mmol/l bromide iodide, nitrate, and thiocyanate were similarly effective. The effect of nitrate and chloride on sodium flux was additive. Bumetanide-sensitive chloride uptake was inhibited by nitrate, the inhibition was however only partly, amounting to 60%. The results obtained are compatible with the view that the two anion binding sites of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter can exhibit a different substrate specificity and that the transporter in addition to a 2Cl mode can also operate in a 2Br, Cl-, A- and Br-, A- mode, A- representing iodide, nitrate, or thiocyanate.

Abstract
K+ and Cl- transport using 42K+ and 36Cl- was studied in primary astrocyte cultures prepared from neonatal rat brains. A component of 42K+ uptake was sensitive to both furosemide and bumetanide with maximum inhibition being obtained at 1 and 0.01 mM concentrations of the inhibitors, respectively. Furosemide and bumetanide also markedly inhibited uptake of 36Cl-. 42K+ uptake in the presence of ouabain was also sensitive to the omission of medium Na+ and Cl-. These results suggest the existence of a K+ + Na+ + Cl- cotransport system in astrocyte cultures which in many cells has been shown to be involved in volume regulation. We studied volume changes using uptake of [14C]3-O- methyl-D-glucose ([14C]3-OMG), and also ion transport, in attached cells in response to exposure to hyper- or hypotonic medium. Exposure to medium made hypertonic with mannitol resulted in shrinkage of the [14C]3-OMG space of the cells, but did not affect 36Cl- content, expressed as nmol/mg protein. Exposure to hypotonic medium led to a marked increase in the [14C]3-OMG space, rapidly followed by a decrease towards control values. After the cells were then exposed to isotonic medium there was an immediate decrease followed by a slower increase in the [14C]3-OMG space. The increase in the [14C]3-OMG space was partially inhibited by 1 mM furosemide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Electrophysiological studies on renal thick ascending limb segments indicate the involvement of a luminal Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport system and a K+ channel in transepithelial salt transport. Sodium reabsorption across this segment is blocked by the diuretics furosemide and bumetanide. The object of our study has been to identify in intact membranes and reconstitute into phospholipid vesicles the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter and K+ channel, as an essential first step towards purification of the proteins involved and characterization of their roles in the regulation of transepithelial salt transport. Measurements of 86Rb+ uptake into membrane vesicles against large opposing KCl gradients greatly magnify the ratio of specific compared to non-specific isotope flux pathways. Using this sensitive procedure, it has proved possible to demonstrate in crude microsomal vesicle preparations from rabbit renal outer medulla two 86Rb+ fluxes. (A) A furosemide-inhibited 86Rb+ flux in the absence of Na+ (K+-K+ exchange). This flux is stimulated by an inward Na+ gradient (Na+/K+ cotransport) and is inhibited also by bumetanide. (B) A Ba2+-inhibited 86Rb+ flux, through the K+ channel. Luminal membranes containing the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter and K+ channels, and basolateral membranes containing the Na+/K+ pumps were separated from the bulk of contaminant protein by metrizamide density gradient centrifugation. The Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter and K+ channel were reconstituted in a functional state by solubilizing both luminal membranes and soybean phospholipid with octyl glucoside, and then removing detergent on a Sephadex column.

Abstract
The majority of the ouabain-insensitive K influx in human erythrocytes is dependent on the presence of Cl. Recent studies have shown that a portion of the Cl-dependent K influx persists in the absence of external Na (Nao). It has been suggested that this Nao-independent component represents (K + Cl) cotransport, whereas the remainder of the Cl-dependent K influx seen on addition of external Na represents (Na + K + 2Cl) cotransport. In the present studies, the kinetics of Cl-dependent K influx were examined in the presence and absence of external Na, by varying external K and external Cl. Our studies suggest that the Nao-independent Cl-dependent pathway has a relatively low affinity for external K (Km 17-30 mM) in contrast to the high affinity of the Nao-augmented component (Km 3-4 mM). N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) stimulates the maximal velocity of the Nao-independent Cl-dependent K influx achievable without alteration of intracellular solutes but does not alter its Km for external K. In contrast, NEM has no stimulatory effect on the Nao-augmented component. The Cl dependence of the Nao-independent K influx is best described by a relatively flat curve with a mild upward concavity. The kinetic properties of the Nao-independent component of Cl-dependent K transport are very similar to those of the putative (K + Cl) cotransport pathway seen in low-K sheep erythrocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The bumetanide-sensitive uptake of Na+, K+(Rb+) and Cl- has been measured at 21 degrees C in ferret red cells treated with (SITS + DIDS) to minimize anion flux via capnophorin (Band 3). During the time course of the influx experiments tracer uptake was a first-order rate process. At normal levels of external Na+ (150 mM) the bumetanide-sensitive uptake of K+ was dependent on Cl- and represented almost all of the K+ uptake, the residual flux demonstrating linear concentration dependence. The uptake of Na+ and Cl- was only partially inhibited by bumetanide indicating that pathways other than (Na + K + Cl) cotransport participate in these fluxes. The diuretic-sensitive uptake of Na+ or Cl- was, however, abolished by the removal of K+ or the complementary ion indicating that bumetanide-sensitive fluxes of Na+, K+ and Cl- are closely coupled. At very low levels of [Na]o (less than 5 mM) K+ influx demonstrated complex kinetics, and there was evidence of the unmasking of a bumetanide-sensitive Na+-independent K+ transport pathway. The stoichiometry of bumetanide-sensitive tracer uptake was 2Na:1K:3Cl both in cells suspended in a low and a high K+-containing medium. The bumetanide-sensitive flux was markedly reduced by ATP depletion. We conclude that a bumetanide-sensitive cotransport of (2Na:1K:3Cl) occurs as an electroneutral complex across the ferret red cell membrane.

Abstract
Amphiuma red cells were incubated for several hours in hypotonic or hypertonic media. They regulate their volume in both media by using ouabain-insensitive salt transport mechanisms. After initially enlarging osmotically, cells in hypotonic media return toward their original size by losing K, Cl, and H2O. During this volume-regulatory decrease (VRD) response, K loss results from a greater than 10-fold increase in K efflux. Cells in hypertonic media initially shrink osmotically, but then return toward their original volume by gaining Na, Cl, and H2O. The volume-regulatory increase (VRI) response involves a large (greater than 100-fold) increase in Na uptake that is entirely blocked by the diuretic amiloride (10(-3) M). Na transport in the VRI response shares many of the characteristics of amiloride-sensitive transport in epithelia: (a) amiloride inhibition is reversible; (b) removal of amiloride from cells pretreated with amiloride enhances Na uptake relative to untreated controls; (c) amiloride appears to act as a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 1-3 microM) of Na uptake; (d) Na uptake is a saturable function of external Na (Km approximately 29 mM); (e) Li can substitute for Na but K cannot. Anomalous Na/K pump behavior is observed in both the VRD and the VRI responses. In the VRD response, pump activity increases 3-fold despite a decrease in intracellular Na concentration, while in the VRI response, a 10-fold increase in pump activity is observed when only a doubling is predicted from increases in intracellular Na.

Abstract
Deoxygenation causes an increase in passive Na and K movements across the membrane of the sickle erythrocyte. Some investigators find that these ion movements are accompanied by cell dehydration, while others find no evidence for cell water loss with sickling. Because gelation of hemoglobin S would be enhanced by cell water loss, we reinvestigated Na and K movements in sickle cells to define further the role that ion movements might play in the pathogenesis of sickling. With deoxygenation, we found that sickle cells gained Na and lost K without losing cell water. These net ion movements were not seen in control red blood cells. For sickle cells, deoxygenation also increased passive unidirectional influxes of Na and K, effects not observed when control red blood cells were deoxygenated. The deoxygenation-induced passive influxes of Na and K in sickle cells were not diminished by anion substitution or by the addition of the diuretic furosemide. We also found differences in passive Na and K fluxes between oxygenated sickle cells and normal red blood cells. The addition of furosemide or replacement of Cl with NO3 or SCN, maneuvers that largely reduced passive Na and K movements in oxygenated normal cells, had no effect on Na and K movements in oxygenated sickle cells. These findings militate against the idea that solute and water loss occur as a consequence of deoxygenation but do indicate that there are acquired membrane abnormalities in sickle red blood cells.

Abstract
The polystrand preparation of cultured chick heart cells has a unidirectional transmembrane Cl- efflux that is twice K+ efflux. However, Cl- conductance of this heart cell membrane is low [regardless of extracellular K+ (K+o)], suggesting the existence of electroneutral Cl--dependent transport mechanisms. Furosemide (10(-3) M) decreases the 36Cl tracer efflux rate constant from a control value of 0.67 to 0.33 min-1. Extracellular Na+--free solution, which depletes intracellular Na+ within 1 min, has no significant effect on 36Cl efflux. K+o-free solution plus 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS; 10(-4) M) promotes the loss of Cl- against the Cl- electrochemical gradient; Cl- loss is furosemide sensitive in a dose-dependent manner. Incubating polystrands in 133 mM K+o, normal extracellular Cl- (Cl-o) solution causes net K+ and Cl- uptake in a 1:1 stoichiometry as well as a furosemide-sensitive volume increase; 130 mM extracellular choline or Li+ cannot mimic this high-K+o-induced volume increase. Removal of Cl-o from 133 mM K+o solution prevents K+ uptake and causes a Cl- loss as well as a furosemide-sensitive volume decrease. Adjusting Cl-o concentrations in high-K+o solution plus DIDS, so that the Cl- chemical gradient equally opposes the K+ chemical gradient, prevents high-K+o-induced volume changes. These data suggest that the cardiac cell membrane contains a furosemide-sensitive K+-Cl- cotransport mechanism.
