Abstract
Claudin (Cldn)-10 tight junction (TJ) proteins are hypothesized to form the paracellular Na+ secretion pathway of hyposmoregulating mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) branchial epithelia. Organ-specific expression profiles showed that only branchial organs [the gill and opercular epithelium (OE)] exhibited abundant cldn-10 paralog transcripts, which typically increased following seawater (SW) to hypersaline (2SW) challenge. Post-translational properties, protein abundance, and ionocyte localization of Cldn-10c, were then examined in gill and OE. Western blot analysis revealed two Cldn-10c immunoreactive bands in the mummichog gill and OE at ∼29 kDa and ∼40 kDa. The heavier protein could be eliminated by glycosidase treatment, demonstrating the novel presence of a glycosylated Cldn-10c. Protein abundance of Cldn-10c increased in gill and OE of 2SW-exposed fish. Cldn-10c localized to the sides of gill and OE ionocyte apical crypts and partially colocalized with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and F-actin, consistent with TJ complex localization. Cldn-10c immunofluorescent intensity increased but localization was unaltered by 2SW conditions. In support of our hypothesis, cldn-10/Cldn-10 TJ protein dynamics in gill and OE of mummichogs and TJ localization are functionally consistent with the creation and maintenance of salinity-responsive, cation-selective pores that facilitate Na+ secretion in hyperosmotic environments. Summary: The role of claudin-10 tight junction proteins in paracellular salt secretion across fish branchial epithelia is indicated by organ-specific responses to hyperosmotic conditions and their association with salt secreting transcellular proteins

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential metal capable to alter many metabolic and physiological processes in animal species, depending on the environmental concentration and salinity. The present study evaluated the effects of Cu exposure on the metabolism of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus under different osmotic situations. Crabs were acclimated at two different salinities conditions (30 and 2). Subsequently, they were exposed to Cu during 96 h at each salinity and under hypo-osmotic shock. Results demonstrated that Cu exposure increased whole-body oxygen consumption. In addition, the activity of LDH decreased while citrate synthase increased in anterior gills from animals submitted to hypo-osmotic shock. This scenario indicates extra stress caused by sudden environmental osmotic changes, as commonly observed in estuarine environments, when combined with copper exposure. Therefore, the activity of LDH and citrate synthase enzymes might be sensitive indicators for aquatic toxicology studies approaching Cu contamination in estuarine environments.

Abstract
Effects of hypoxia on the osmorespiratory functions of the posterior gills of the shore crab Carcinus maenas acclimated to 12ppt seawater (DSW) were studied. Short-circuit current (Isc) across the hemilamella (one epithelium layer supported by cuticle) was substantially reduced under exposure to 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5mg O2/L hypoxic saline (both sides of epithelium) and fully recovered after reoxygenation. Isc was reduced equally in the epithelium exposed to 1.6mg O2/L on both sides and when the apical side was oxygenated and the basolateral side solely exposed to hypoxia. Under 1.6mg O2/L, at the level of maximum inhibition of Isc, conductance was decreased from 40.0mScm-2 to 34.7mScm-2 and fully recovered after reoxygenation. Isc inhibition under hypoxia and reduced 86Rb+ (K+) fluxes across apically located K+ channels were caused preferentially by reversible inhibition of basolaterally located and ouabain sensitive Na+,K+-ATPase mediated electrogenic transport. Reversible inhibition of Isc is discussed as decline in active transport energy supply down regulating metabolic processes and saving energy during oxygen deprivation. In response to a 4day exposure of Carcinus to 2.0mg O2/L, hemolymph Na+ and Cl- concentration decreased, i.e. hyperosmoregulation was weakened. Variations of the oxygen concentration level and exposure time to hypoxia lead to an increase of the surface of mitochondria per epithelium area and might in part compensate for the decrease in oxygen availability under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
Epithelia involved in vectorial salt transport respond to apical and basolateral changes in osmotic activity by moderating the transmural solute transport rate simultaneously with underlying volume regulatory mechanisms involved in regulatory volume increase (RVI) and decrease (RVD). This review examines rapid osmotic responses in salt secreting epithelia of marine and euryhaline teleost fish, with inclusion of recent results from other ion transporting epithelia that also respond rapidly to osmotic shock. Mitochondrion-rich chloride secreting cells of marine teleost fish gills and skin, when exposed to hypertonic shock, activate NaCl secretion via phosphorylation of Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) in the basolateral membrane and activation of anion channels in the apical membrane. Conversely, NaCl secretion is inhibited when chloride secreting cells are swollen osmotically. Mammalian airway epithelial cells also possess NKCC1 basally and apical anion channels [Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR)]; with hypotonic shock, this epithelium releases ATP and NaCl secretion is stimulated via purinergic receptors, while hypertonic shock inhibits Na(+) uptake. In the eye, the ciliary epithelium activates Cl(-) channels in response to hypotonic shock as RVD, an effect that modulates transepithelial fluid transport rates. In the renal A6 cell line, K(+) and Cl(-) effluxes activate during RVD and RVI Na(+) transepithelial absorption. A common theme in these systems is ATP release in hypotonic shock with subsequent RVD-effective mechanisms such as NKCC1 inhibition and K(+) and Cl(-) efflux, but there are different effects of osmotic changes on transepithelial transport, apparently depending on the role of the epithelial system.

Abstract
We have explored the molecular and physiological responses of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus to transfer from brackish water (10% seawater) to 100% seawater for 12 h, 3 days or 7 days. Plasma [Na+] and [Cl-] were unchanged after transfer, and plasma cortisol underwent a transient increase. Na+/K+-ATPase activity increased 1.5-fold in the gills and opercular epithelium at 7 days (significant in gills only), responses that were preceded by three- to fourfold increases in Na+/K+-ATPase alpha(1a) mRNA expression. Expression of Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter 1, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel, Na+/H+-exchanger 3 (significant in opercular epithelium only) and carbonic anhydrase II mRNA also increased two- to fourfold after transfer. Drinking rate increased over twofold after 12 h and remained elevated for at least 7 days. Surprisingly, net rates of water and ion absorption measured in vitro across isolated intestines decreased approximately 50%, possibly due to reduced salt demands from the diet in seawater, but water absorption capacity still exceeded the drinking rate. Changes in bulk water absorption were well correlated with net ion absorption, and indicated that slightly hyperosmotic solutions (>or=298 mmol l(-1)) were transported. There were no reductions in unidirectional influx of Na+ from luminal to serosal fluid or intestinal Na+/K+-ATPase activity after transfer. Overall, our results indicate that gill and opercular epithelia function similarly at a molecular level in seawater, in contrast to their divergent function in freshwater, and reveal unexpected changes in intestinal function. As such they provide further insight into the mechanisms of euryhalinity in killifish.

Abstract
SUMMARYTwo isoforms of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA) in the blue crab gill,CasCAg and CasCAc, were identified, sequenced, and found to match the membrane-associated and cytoplasmic isoforms, respectively. The membrane-associated isoform is present in much higher levels of mRNA expression in both anterior and posterior gills in crabs acclimated to high salinity (35 p.p.t.), but expression of the cytoplasmic isoform in the posterior gill undergoes a significantly greater degree of up-regulation after exposure to low salinity (15 p.p.t.). CasCAc has the largest scope of induction (100-fold) reported for any transport-related protein in the gill,and this may be necessary to overcome diffusion limitations between gill cytoplasm and the apical boundary layer. Furthermore, the timing of the changes in expression of CasCAc corresponds to the timing of the induction of protein-specific CA activity and CA protein concentration. No changes in CA mRNA expression or activity occur in the anterior gills. The pattern of up-regulation of expression of mRNA of the α-subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase is similar to that for CasCAc, and both precede the establishment of the new acclimated physiological state of the crab in low salinity. A putative `housekeeping' gene, arginine kinase, also showed about a threefold increase in expression in response to low salinity,but only in the posterior gills. These results suggest that for studies of expression in crustacean gill tissue, a control tissue, such as the anterior gill, be used until an adequate control gene is identified.

Abstract
The present investigation examined the microanatomy and mRNA expression and activity of ion-motive ATPases, in anterior and posterior gills of a South American, true freshwater crab, Dilocarcinus pagei. Like diadromous crabs, the anterior gills of this hololimnetic trichodactylid exhibit a highly attenuated (2-5 microm), symmetrical epithelium on both lamellar surfaces. In sharp contrast, the posterior gill lamellar epithelia are markedly asymmetrical. Their proximal side consists of thick (18-20 microm) cells, displaying features typical of a transporting epithelium, while the distal epithelium is thin (3-10 microm) and formed entirely by apical pillar cell flanges. Both anterior and posterior gills express Na+/K+- and V-ATPases. Phylogenetic analysis of partial cDNA sequences for the Na+/K+-ATPase alpha-subunit and V-ATPase B-subunit among various crab species confirmed the previous classification and grouping of D. pagei based on morphological criteria. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR clearly showed that mRNA for both ion pump subunits is more intensely expressed in posterior gills. Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the posterior gills was nearly fourfold that of anterior gills, while V-ATPase and F-ATPase activities did not differ. A negative short-circuit current (Isc) was measured using the distal side of split, posterior gill lamellae, mounted in a modified Ussing chamber and perfused symmetrically with identical hemolymph-like salines. Although hemolymph-side ouabain did not affect this current, concanamycin significantly reduced Isc without altering preparation conductance, suggesting V-ATPase-driven Cl- absorption on the distal side of the posterior gill lamellae, as known to occur in diadromous crabs adapted to freshwater. These findings suggest that active Na+ uptake predominates across the thick proximal epithelium, and Cl- uptake across the thin, distal epithelium of the posterior gill lamellae.

Abstract
Split lamellae of posterior gills of Chasmagnathus granulatus adapted to 2.5 per thousand salinity were mounted in a modified Ussing chamber. With NaCl-saline on both sides of the preparation a transepithelial voltage (V(te)) of 4.1+/-0.5 mV (outside positive) was measured. After voltage-clamping, the negative short-circuit current (I(sc)) amounted to -142+/-21 micro A cm(-2) at a conductance (G(te)) of 44+/-5 mS cm(-2). Substitution of either chloride (by nitrate) or sodium (by choline) on both sides of split gill lamellae significantly reduced I(sc) (by 70-80%) and G(te) (by 30-50%). External CsCl (but not BaCl(2) or furosemide) inhibited the negative I(sc) without affecting G(te). Addition of ouabain, BaCl(2) or diphenylamine-2-carboxylate to the internal bath inhibited I(sc) at unchanged G(te). Internal acetazolamide did not affect I(sc) or G(te) across split gill lamellae. Unidirectional Na(+) influx across isolated and perfused posterior gills, however, was reduced by internal acetazolamide by approximately 20% at constant V(te). The results suggest that posterior gills of hyperosmoregulating C. granulatus display a high conductance epithelium that actively absorbs NaCl in a coupled way by an electrogenic mechanism similar to that seen in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and, to a minor degree, by an electroneutral mechanism, presumably via apical Na(+)/H(+)- and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-)-antiports.

Abstract
SUMMARY
The osmotic and ionic status of the haemolymph and the structural and ion-transport characteristics of the posterior gills of Dilocarcinus pagei, a hololimnetic crab, were investigated. Haemolymph osmolality was 386±18 mosmol kg–1, while [Na+] and [Cl–] were 190±13 and 206±12 mmol l–1, respectively; [K+], [Ca2+] and [Mg2+] were 9.7±0.7, 10.2±0.5 and 2.8±0.4 mmol l–1, respectively (means ± s.e.m., N=12–17). The gill lamellae possess a central, osmiophilic area, which exhibits a marked structural asymmetry. The thick (18–20 μm) proximal epithelium is characterised by basal invaginations and a few apical vesicles, while the thin (3–10 μm) distal epithelium consists of apical pillar cell flanges populated by vesicles and membrane invaginations. Isolated gills, bathed and perfused with NaCl saline, spontaneously generate a negative transbranchial potential difference (Vte), which stabilises at positive or negative values. Ouabain shifts Vte to more positive values. When mounted in an Ussing chamber, distal split lamellae generate a negative, Cl–-dependent short-circuit current (Isc). Na+ substitution leads to more negative values of Isc. Internal ouabain is without effect, while diphenylamine-2-carboxylate and acetazolamide abolish Isc. Proximal split lamellae show a positive, Na+-dependent Isc, which decreases after internal application of ouabain. These data suggest that the thin epithelium actively absorbs Cl–, while the thick epithelium actively absorbs Na+.

Abstract
SUMMARYWe studied the transepithelial potential difference (TEPD) and 22Na flux across isolated perfused gills (anterior pair 5 and posterior pairs 6–8) of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus acclimated to either hypo- or hyper-osmotic conditions.The gills of crabs acclimated to low salinity, perfused and bathed with 10 ‰ saline solutions, produced the following TEPDs (hemolymph side with respect to bath side): 0.4±0.7, –10.2±1.6, –10.8±1.3 and –6.7±1.3 mV for gills 5, 6, 7 and 8, respectively. Gills 6, 7 and 8 did not differ significantly. Reducing the saline concentration of bath and perfusate from 30 ‰ to 20 ‰ or 10 ‰ increased significantly the TEPDs of these gills. TEPDs of gill 6 (representative of posterior gills) were reduced by 69±5 % and 60±5 % after perfusion with ouabain or BaCl2 (5 mmol l–1 each), respectively. The same gill showed a net ouabain-sensitive Na+ influx of 1150±290 μequiv g–1 h–1.Gill 6 of crabs acclimated to high salinity produced TEPDs of –1.5±0.1 and –1.3±0.09 mV after perfusion with 30 ‰ or 40 ‰ salines, respectively. Perfusion with ouabain or BaCl2 reduced TEPDs by 76±7 % and 86±4 %, respectively. A net ouabain-sensitive Na+ efflux of 2282±337 μequiv g–1 h–1 was recorded in gill 6 perfused with 38 ‰ saline.

Abstract
We examined the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory sites of the branchial cavity in embryonic and early postembryonic stages of the European lobster Homarus gammarus through transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunogold electron microscopy using a monoclonal antibody IgGalpha(5) raised against the avian alpha-subunit of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. In mid-late embryos, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was located along the pleurites and within the epipodite buds. In late embryos just before hatching, the enzyme was confined to the epipodite epithelia. After hatching, slight differentiations of ionocytes occured in the epipodites of larval stages. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was also located in the ionocytes of the epipodites of larvae exposed to seawater (35.%o) and to dilute seawater (22.1 %o). After metamorphosis, the inner-side branchiostegite epithelium appeared as an additional site of enzyme location in postlarvae held in dilute seawater. Within the ionocytes, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was mostly located along the basolateral infoldings. These observations are discussed in relation to the physiological shift from osmoconforming larvae to slightly hyper-regulating (in dilute seawater) postmetamorphic stages. The acquisition of the ability to hyper-osmoregulate probably originates from the differentiation, on the epipodites and mainly along the branchiostegites, of ionocytes that are the site of ion pumping as evidenced by the location of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
This review assembles recent information on seawater-type chloride cells of marine teleost fish and evaluates the secretion of Na+, Cl-, K+, H+ and NH4+ and the absorption of Ca2+. The evidence for the distribution (apical vs basolateral) and the abundance of the various ion pumps, cotransporters, channels and exchangers is assessed and an inclusive model is constructed. Relationships among the transport systems are presented to suggest that many, if not all, of these systems may be operating simultaneously in individual, multifunctional chloride cells.

Abstract
This paper reports the adaptation of a branchial perfusion technique to the gills of the small hyper-hyporegulating crab, Pachygrapsus marmoratus. The physiological quality of the preparation has been established and preliminary measurements of the transepithelial potential difference (PD) and sodium fluxes were reported. A clear-cut distinction has to be made between anterior and posterior gills. With symmetrical bathing conditions (same saline on both sides of the epithelium), a significant transepithelial PD was measured only in posterior gills isolated from crabs acclimated to dilute sea water. This hemolymph-side negative PD is shown to require biological energy and to be sensitive to ouabain. Na+ influx was larger than efflux, indicating the occurrence of a net inward of Na+. The active nature of the Na+ influx was established.
