Abstract
Fish are continuously forced to actively absorb or expel water and ions through epithelia. Most studies have focused on the gill due to its role in Na+ and Cl- trafficking. However, comparatively few studies have focused on the changing function of the intestine in response to external salinity. Therefore, the present study investigated the main intestinal changes of long-term acclimation of the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) to 5, 15, 38 and 55ppt. Through the measurement of short-circuit current (Isc) in Ussing chambers and biochemical approaches, we described a clear anterior/posterior functional regionalization of the intestine in response to salinity. The use of specific inhibitors in Ussing chamber experiments, revealed that the bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporters are the main effectors of Cl- uptake in both anterior intestine and rectum. Additionally, the use of the anion exchanger specific inhibitor, DIDS, showed a salinity/region dependency of anion exchanger function. Moreover, we also described ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) and Bafilomycin A1-sensitive H+-ATPase activities (HA), which displayed changes related to salinity and intestinal region. However, the most striking result of the present study is the description of an omeprazole-sensitive H+/K+-ATPase (HKA) in the rectum of Senegalese sole. Its activity was consistently measurable and increased at lower salinities, reaching rates even higher than those of the NKA. Together our results provide new insights into the changing role of the intestine in response to external salinity in teleost fish. The rectal activity of HKA offers an alternative/cooperative mechanism with the HA in the final processing of intestinal water absorption by apical titration of secreted bicarbonate.

Abstract
Multispecific organic anion transporters play an important role in the excretion and the elimination of a wide variety of endogenous and exogenous substrates. To date, five murine OAT homologs such as mouse organic anion transporters 1-3, 5, and 6 (mOAT1-3, 5 and 6) have been isolated and well characterized. With the exception of mOAT6, other mOAT isoforms are predominantly expressed in the kidney. The aim of this study was to examine whether mOAT2/3, as well as hOAT2/3, transports the diuretic bumetanide using a Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, mOAT2/3 mediated the high affinity transport of bumetanide. The apparent K(m) values for the uptake of bumetanide via mOAT2 and mOAT3 were 9.12 +/- 2.42 microM and 1.01 +/- 0.27 microM, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that mOAT2 is expressed on the luminal membrane site of the proximal tubule. Our results indicate that mOAT2 and 3, as well as human homologs, are molecules for the transport of bumetanide on the luminal membranes of kidney proximal tubules.

Abstract
This review summarizes results 87Rb MRS/I studies of K+ transport in mammalian cells, organs and in vivo. It provides a brief description of K+ transport systems, their interactions with Rb+ and evidence that Rb+ is a best K+ congener. 87Rb MR studies have focused mostly on isolated perfused rat and pig hearts and to a lesser extent on kidney, skeletal muscle, salivary gland and red blood cells. The method has been used for three purposes: measurements of kinetics of unidirectional Rb+ uptake and efflux and steady-state Rb+ levels. In cardiovascular studies Rb+ has been used in the absence of shift reagent taking advantage of the predominantly intracellular Rb+/K+ distribution (approximately 20:1). Pharmacological analysis of Rb+ uptake and efflux allowed assessment of the contributions of various transporters to the total Rb+ fluxes in rat hearts. It was confirmed that Na+/K+ ATPase is responsible for the majority of K+ influx since Rb+ uptake is 80% ouabain-sensitive and dependent on the intracellular [Na+]. Energy deprivation caused by low-flow ischemia or metabolic inhibition reduced Rb+ uptake rate. Under normal conditions, Rb+ efflux is mediated mainly by voltage-gated K+ channels with a small contribution from the K+/Na+/2Cl- cotransporter. Intracellular alkalosis and osmotic swelling stimulated Rb+ efflux by activation of the putative K+/H+ antiporter. Activity of ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels was revealed by metabolic (2,4-dinitrophenol, ischemia) or pharmacological (K(ATP) opener, P-1075) stimulation of Rb+ efflux, which was reversed by the K(ATP) blocker, glibenclamide. Mitochondrial K+ transport was evaluated in hearts with saponin-permeabilized myocytes and under hypothermic conditions.Three-dimensional (3-D) spectroscopic MRI of isolated beating pig hearts has been used to obtain time series of Rb+ maps of normal and ischemic/infarcted hearts, which showed lower image intensity in the damaged area. Kinetics of Rb+ uptake in the ischemic areas depended on both regional flow and metabolism. The adrenergic agonist dobutamine stimulated Rb+ uptake in normal areas and did not affect uptake in ischemic areas. Drugs that may affect passive Rb+ transport (bumetanide, pinacidil, glibenclamide) did not change Rb+ uptake either in the normal or ischemic zones. 87Rb-MRI was also able to localize ischemia and infarction in blood-perfused hearts. 87Rb MRS/I is an excellent non-invasive research tool for studies of K+ transport in isolated organs and in vivo.

Abstract
The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter plays important roles in cell ion homeostasis and volume control and is particularly important in mediating the movement of ions and thus water across epithelia. In addition to being affected by the concentration of the transported ions, cotransport is affected by cell volume, hormones, growth factors, oxygen tension, and intracellular ionized Mg(2+) concentration. These probably influence transport through three main routes acting in parallel: cotransporter phosphorylation, protein-protein interactions and cell Cl(-) concentration. Many effects are mediated, at least in part, by changes in protein phosphorylation, and are disrupted by kinase and phosphatase inhibitors, and manoeuvres that reduce cell ATP content. In some cases, phosphorylation of the cotransporter itself on serine and threonine (but not tyrosine) is associated with changes in transport rate, in others, phosphorylation of associated proteins has more influence. Analysis of the stimulation of cotransport by calyculin A, arsenite and deoxygenation suggests that the cotransporter is phosphorylated by several kinases and dephosphorylated by several phosphatases. These kinases and phosphatases may themselves be regulated by phosphorylation of residues including tyrosine, with Src kinases possibly playing an important role. Protein-protein interactions also influence cotransport activity. Cotransporter molecules bind to each other to form high molecular weight complexes, they also bind to other members of the cation-chloride cotransport family, to a variety of cytoskeletal proteins, and to enzymes that are part of regulatory cascades. Many of these interactions affect transport and may override the effects of cotransporter phosphorylation. Cell Cl(-) may also directly affect the way the cotransporter functions independently of its role as substrate.

Abstract
Obligatory, coupled cotransport of Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) by cell membranes has been reported in nearly every animal cell type. This review examines the current status of our knowledge about this ion transport mechanism. Two isoforms of the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) protein (approximately 120-130 kDa, unglycosylated) are currently known. One isoform (NKCC2) has at least three alternatively spliced variants and is found exclusively in the kidney. The other (NKCC1) is found in nearly all cell types. The NKCC maintains intracellular Cl(-) concentration ([Cl(-)](i)) at levels above the predicted electrochemical equilibrium. The high [Cl(-)](i) is used by epithelial tissues to promote net salt transport and by neural cells to set synaptic potentials; its function in other cells is unknown. There is substantial evidence in some cells that the NKCC functions to offset osmotically induced cell shrinkage by mediating the net influx of osmotically active ions. Whether it serves to maintain cell volume under euvolemic conditons is less clear. The NKCC may play an important role in the cell cycle. Evidence that each cotransport cycle of the NKCC is electrically silent is discussed along with evidence for the electrically neutral stoichiometries of 1 Na(+):1 K(+):2 Cl- (for most cells) and 2 Na(+):1 K(+):3 Cl(-) (in squid axon). Evidence that the absolute dependence on ATP of the NKCC is the result of regulatory phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms is decribed. Interestingly, the presumed protein kinase(s) responsible has not been identified. An unusual form of NKCC regulation is by [Cl(-)](i). [Cl(-)](i) in the physiological range and above strongly inhibits the NKCC. This effect may be mediated by a decrease of protein phosphorylation. Although the NKCC has been studied for approximately 20 years, we are only beginning to frame the broad outlines of the structure, function, and regulation of this ubiquitous ion transport mechanism.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze Na+ fluxes in whole perfused hearts using Li+ as a Na+ congener and 7Li-nuclear magnetic resonance as a detection method. Hearts were equilibrated for 32 min with 15 mM LiCl added to P1-free Krebs-Henseleit buffer (intracellular space (ICS) [Li+] = 21.5 +/- 3.4 mM). Li+ efflux was monitored using a Li(+)-free perfusate. The effects of drugs on Li+ efflux were studied by adding the compounds 4 min prior to initiating Li+ washout. 7Li-NMR spectra were collected every 2 min at 139.95 MHz. Li+ efflux was biphasic with rate constants (k +/- SD, min-1) of 0.5 +/- 0.1 (extracellular) and 0.09 +/- 0.01 (ICS). Li+ efflux from ICS was dependent on heart rate (HR): cardiac arrest produced by 1 mM lidocaine or 20 mM KCl reduced k to 1/3 of its control value (Lidocaine, 0.030 +/- 0.004; KCl, 0.035 +/- 0.003). Increasing concentrations of carbachol (0.2-3.0 microM) caused a gradual decrease in HR and revealed a linear relationship between k and HR. In KCl-arrested hearts the Na+ channel opener veratridine increased k by 60% (10 microM, 0.057 +/- 0.006). Dimethylamiloride did not affect k (10 microM, 0.024 +/- 0.006) in Lidocaine-arrested hearts. Bumetanide (30 microM, 0.094 +/- 0.013), nifedepine (0.33 microM, 0.088 +/- 0.009), Bay K8644 (0.1 microM, 0.080 +/- 0.002), 4-aminopyridine (1.5 mM, 0.076 +/- 0.006) and cromakalim (10 microM, 0.088 +/- 0.006) did not significantly affect either k or HR. Li+ efflux from myocytes in perfused rat heart is mediated mainly by voltage-dependent Na+ channels.

Abstract
The MDCK cell has proven to be a useful model cell line for the study of properties and regulation of renal epithelial ion channels. Patch clamp studies disclosed the existence of several K+ channels and of a Cl- channel, and their regulation by hormones, cell volume, trace elements and drugs. Most hormones affect K+ channels at least in part by increasing cytosolic Ca2+. However, indirect evidence points to additional mechanisms contributing to K+ channel activation. Cell swelling activates both K+ channels and unselective anion channels. ICln, a protein cloned from MDCK cells, is either a Cl- channel or a regulator of thereof. ICln is up-regulated by cellular acidification and is crucial for rapid regulatory cell volume decrease.

Abstract
1. The aim of this study was to elucidate if the K+ uptake was higher in cultured human glioma cells than in cells from other malignant tumors and to analyze the importance of membrane potential and K+ channels for the uptake. 2. K+ transport properties were studied with the isotopes 42K and the K-analogue 201Tl. 3. Comparison with cultured cells from other malignant tumors showed that the specific steady-state accumulation of Tl+ was significantly higher in glioma cells (U-251MG and Tp-378MG). 4. In Ringer's solution at 37 degrees C the rates of K+ and Tl+ uptake were both inhibited by about 55% in ouabain and 60% in furosemide, bumetanide, or Na(+)- or Cl(-)-free medium. This indicated that the routes for K+ and Tl+ uptake were similar and due to Na,K-ATPase-dependent transport and to Na-K-Cl cotransport. 5. About 10% of the uptake was neither ouabain nor bumetanide sensitive. Ba2+, which is known to block inward-rectifying K+ channels and to depolarize glial cells, and other K+ channel blockers (Cs+ and bupivacaine), had no effect on Tl+ uptake. 6. Metabolic inhibition with dinitrophenol reduced the uptake rate to 17%. 7. The washout of Tl+ was unaffected by bumetanide and K+ channel blockers, but dinitrophenol caused a transient increase of 75%, an effect which persisted in the presence of K+ channel blockers. 8. It was concluded that the high specific K+ and Tl+ accumulation in cultured human glioma cells was due not to the presence of inwardly rectifying K+ channels or other identified K+ channels, but to Na,K-ATPase dependent transport and Na-K-Cl cotransport.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to characterize the routes of influx of the K+ congener, Rb+, into cardiac cells in the perfused rat heart and to evaluate their links to the intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) using 87Rb and 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The rate constant for Rb+ equilibration in the extracellular space was 8.5 times higher than that for the intracellular space. The sensitivity of the rate of Rb+ accumulation in the intracellular space of the perfused rat heart to the inhibitors of the K+ and Na+ transport systems has been analyzed. The Rb+ influx rates were measured in both beating and arrested hearts: both procaine (5 mmol/L) and lidocaine (1 mmol/L) halved the Rb+ influx rate. In procaine-arrested hearts, the Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitor ouabain (0.6 mmol/L) decreased Rb+ influx by 76 +/- 24% relative to that observed in untreated but arrested hearts. Rb+ uptake was insensitive to the K+ channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (1 mmol/L). The inhibitor of Na+/K+/2 Cl- cotransport bumetanide (30 mumol/L) decreased Rb+ uptake only slightly (by 9 +/- 8%). Rb+ uptake was dependent on [Na+]i: it increased by 58 +/- 34% when [Na+]i was increased with the Na+ ionophore monensin (1 mumol/L) and decreased by 48 +/- 9% when [Na+]i was decreased by the Na+ channel blockers procaine and lidocaine. Dimethylamiloride (15 to 20 mumol/L), an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchanger, slightly reduced [Na+]i and Rb+ entry into the cardiomyocytes (by 15 +/- 5%). 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the energetic state and intracellular pH (pHi) in a parallel series of hearts. Treatment of the hearts with lidocaine, 4-aminopyridine, dimethylamiloride, or bumetanide for 15 to 20 minutes at the same concentrations as used for the Rb+ and Na+ experiments did not markedly affect the levels of the phosphate metabolites or pHi. These data show that under normal physiological conditions, Rb+ influx occurs mainly through Na+,K(+)-ATPase; the contribution of the Na+/K+/2 Cl- cotransporter and K+ channels to Rb+ influx is small. The correlation between Rb+ influx and [Na+bdi during infusion of drugs that affect [Na+]i indicates that, in rat hearts at 37 degrees C, Rb+ influx can serve as a measure of Na+ influx. We estimate that, at normothermia, at least 50% of the Na+ entry into beating cardiac cells is provided by the Na+ channels, with only minor contributions (< 15%) from the Na+/K+/2 Cl- cotransporter and the Na+/H+ exchanger.

Abstract
The size and shape of growth hormone (GH)-producing rat type-II somatotrophs was studied during osmotic manipulation. When somatotrophs were exposed to large osmotic stress (200 and 225 mOsm), the peak projected cell area (PCA) was 132.9% +/- 12.6% and 116.8% +/- 2.8% (P < 0.01) and triggered a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) to avoid lysis. At lower osmotic stress (250 mOsm), the rate of swelling was slower, and the volume reached a steady state at 109.4% +/- 2.4% (P < 0.05) and was without RVD. At 275 and 287 mOsm, the swelling was delayed [PCA peak at 3-4 min; 105.8% +/- 1.5% (P < 0.05) and 104.2% +/- 1.7%] and then showed repeated synchronized cycles of swelling and shrink-age (P < 0.05). The data suggest that somatotrophs may have more than one mechanism for volume regulation. One mechanism is for large swelling (classic RVD response), whereas the other represents more physiological mechanisms for regulating the cell volume within a more limited geometry range. For low osmotic stress (250-287 mOsm), the somatotrophs became less spherical during swelling and, thus, were without membrane dilation. Therefore, this type of volume regulation must work independently from membrane stress. Related volume regulation mechanisms may underlie the previously observed volume fluctuations in somatotrophs seen during secretory stimulation with GH-releasing hormone.

Abstract
Part of the natriuretic mechanism of dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonists involves the inhibition of renal tubular sodium reabsorption. To identify the membrane ion transport system involved in this natriuretic action, we tested nitrendipine on unidirectional 86Rb+ fluxes in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. To dissect between direct and indirect effects (via cytosolic Ca2+) of nitrendipine, the compound was re-examined on ion fluxes in human erythrocytes. In MDCK cells, external Ca2+ (3 mM), adrenalin (100 microM) and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (20 microM) strongly and transiently stimulated 86Rb+ efflux. All these stimulatory actions were fully inhibited by quinine (1 mM) suggesting that they reflect the opening of Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channels. Nitrendipine was able to inhibit these Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channels, bit this inhibitory action required concentrations of the compound (approximately 100 microM). Regarding 86Rb+ influx, the most significant result with nitrendipine was a partial inhibition of bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx. This effect represented a maximal flux inhibition of about 70% and required very low nitrendipine concentrations (IC50 approximately 1 nM). The Ca2+ ionophore A 23187 strongly stimulated bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx in MDCK cells. Conversely, a very important reduction (approximately 79%) of this influx component was found in Ca2+ depleted cells. In human red blood cells, Na+, K+, Cl- cotransport fluxes were resistant to nitrendipine, even at high concentrations of the compound (100-500 microM). Conversely, Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channels were inhibited by nitrendipine with IC50 = 6 +/- 3 microM (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 3).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Insulin augments the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) in skeletal muscles. This study shows that when furosemide- and bumetanide-inhibitable 86Rb+ uptake is measured in the skeletal muscle-like BC3H1 cell line, insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) activate a loop diuretic-sensitive K+ and Cl- transport system but have no effect on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. The insulin-stimulated K+ transport system is extracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]o) independent and extracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]o) dependent. Na(+)-independent K(+)-Cl- cotransport systems have been identified in other cells, but their sensitivity to insulin or growth factors has not been described. The affinities of the insulin-stimulated K+ uptake in BC3H1 cells for K+ (0.9 +/- 0.1 mM) and loop diuretics (5.9 x 10(-7) and 10(-7) M for furosemide and bumetanide, respectively) are higher than those of K(+)-Cl- cotransporters in other cells. Thus the insulin-stimulated K+ and Cl- transport system in BC3H1 seems kinetically different from K(+)-Cl- cotransporters in other cells. Insulin and IGF-I may activate a unique K(+)-Cl- cotransporter or activate a [Na+]o-independent K(+)-Cl- cotransport mode of Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransporter in BC3H1 cells.

Abstract
To probe the mechanism by which intracellular ATP, Na+, and Cl- influence the activity of the NaK2Cl cotransporter, we measured bumetanide-sensitive (BS) 86Rb fluxes in the osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106-01. Under physiological gradients of Na+, K+, and Cl-, depleting cellular ATP by incubation with deoxyglucose and antimycin A (DOG/AA) for 20 min at 37 degrees C reduced BS 86Rb uptake from 6 to 1 nmol/mg protein per min. Similar incubation with 0.5 mM ouabain to inhibit the Na+ pump had no effect on the uptake, excluding the possibility that DOG/AA inhibited the uptake by modifying the cellular Na+ and K+ gradients. Loading the cells with Na+ and depleting them of K+ by a 2-3-h incubation with ouabain or DOG/AA increased the rate of BS 86Rb uptake to approximately 12 nmol/mg protein per min. The unidirectional BS 86Rb influx into control cells was approximately 10 times faster than the unidirectional BS 86Rb efflux. On the other hand, at steady state the unidirectional BS 86Rb influx and efflux in ouabain-treated cells were similar, suggesting that most of the BS 86Rb uptake into the ouabain-treated cells is due to K+/K+ exchange. The entire BS 86Rb uptake into ouabain-treated cells was insensitive to depletion of cellular ATP. However, the influx could be converted to ATP-sensitive influx by reducing cellular Cl- and/or Na+ in ouabain-treated cells to impose conditions for net uptake of the ions. The BS 86Rb uptake in ouabain-treated cells required the presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the extracellular medium. Thus, loading the cells with Na+ induced rapid 86Rb (K+) influx and efflux which, unlike net uptake, were insensitive to cellular ATP. Therefore, we suggest that ATP regulates a step in the turnover cycle of the cotransporter that is required for net but not K+/K+ exchange fluxes. Depleting control cells of Cl- increased BS 86Rb uptake from medium-containing physiological Na+ and K+ concentrations from 6 to approximately 15 nmol/mg protein per min. The uptake was blocked by depletion of cellular ATP with DOG/AA and required the presence of all three ions in the external medium. Thus, intracellular Cl- appears to influence net uptake by the cotransporter. Depletion of intracellular Na+ was as effective as depletion of Cl- in stimulating BS 86Rb uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
1. The contribution of Li+ reabsorption in the loop of Henle to lithium clearance (CLi) and the possible mechanism(s) involved were assessed in healthy volunteers. Four mechanisms were considered: (a) passive reabsorption in the thin ascending limb, (b) solvent drag in the thin descending limb, (c) the Na+, K+, 2Cl- transporter in the thick ascending limb and (d) paracellular movement in the thick ascending limb. 2. Since alterations in the corticomedullary osmolal concentration gradient produced by fluid restriction (500 ml day-1) and subsequent water loading (15 ml kg-1) did not affect either CLi (28.5 +/- 2.1 vs. 28.2 +/- 1.9 ml min-1) or fractional lithium clearance (FELi; 23.5 +/- 2.0 vs. 23.0 +/- 1.9%), it is unlikely that substantial Li+ reabsorption occurs in the thin limbs by either passive movement or solvent drag. 3. Increasing plasma Li+ with unchanged plasma Na+ in salt-replete volunteers was associated with only small reductions in CLi (32.8 +/- 1.3 ml min-1, P less than 0.05) and FELi (27.3 +/- 1.8 vs. 25.3 +/- 2.0%, P less than 0.05). This suggests that substantial Li+ reabsorption on the Na+, K+, 2Cl- transporter does not occur. 4. Bumetanide increased FELi in salt-depleted (LS) and salt-replete (HS) volunteers and abolished the pre-diuretic difference in FELi between salt intakes (LS, 16.6 +/- 1.5 vs. 38.7 +/- 2.3%, P less than 0.001; HS, 30.1 +/- 1.5 vs. 40.5 +/- 2.0%, P less than 0.001). Changes in CPO4 and CHCO3 were not detected. Acetazolamide produced comparable increases in FELi (LS, 16.6 +/- 1.5 vs. 38.7 +/- 2.2%, P less than 0.001; HS, 30.1 +/- 1.5 vs. 43.1 +/- 2.4%, P less than 0.01); and CPO4 and CHCO3 were increased. When tubular flow to the loop of Henle was increased by acetazolamide, the bumetanide-induced increases in FELi were reduced (LS, 38.7 +/- 2.2 vs. 48.7 +/- 2.3%, P less than 0.001; HS, 43.1 +/- 2.4 vs. 48.1 +/- 2.6%, P less than 0.001). 5. These data are consistent with the view that (a) Li+ is reabsorbed by a bumetanide-sensitive mechanism in the loop of Henle, (b) approximately 20 and 10% of the filtered load, respectively, is reabsorbed in the loop in salt-depleted and salt-replete volunteers, (c) flow-dependent, voltage-driven paracellular movement in the thick ascending limb is the likely mechanism and (d) this mechanism could account for the difference in Li+ reabsorption between low and high salt intakes.

Abstract
1. The effects of altering metabolism on Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport were studied in ferret red cells. Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport was measured as the bumetanide-sensitive uptake of 86Rb. 2. Glucose, but not inosine or adenosine, sustained metabolism and maintained cell ATP content ([ATP]i) at the physiological level. [ATP]i could be reduced by prolonged incubation of cells in a substrate-free medium or more quickly by incubating cells with 2-deoxyglucose or with a mixture of iodoacetamide and glucose. 3. Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport activity was inhibited when [ATP]i was reduced to below 100 mumol (1 cell)-1 by starvation or by treatment with 2-deoxyglucose. However, a unique relationship between [ATP]i and activity could not be found. [ATP]i and the method and time course of ATP depletion all influenced activity. The inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport, caused by reducing [ATP]i could be partially reversed by restoring [ATP]i to normal. 4. Increasing the concentration of intracellular ionized magnesium [( Mg2+]i) did not stimulate co-transport activity in ATP-depleted cells. This contrasts with the substantial stimulation seen in cells with normal [ATP]i. 5. Vanadate stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport activity in ATP-depleted cells but not in cells with normal [ATP]i. Fluoride did not affect activity at any [ATP]i. 6. The effects of some sulphydryl reagents on Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport were also examined. n-Ethylmaleimide (1 mM) inhibited Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport while it stimulated bumetanide-resistant potassium transport. Dithiothreitol (1 mM) did not affect activity. Iodoacetamide (6 mM) appeared to reduce the inhibition of cotransport activity seen at low [ATP]i but also greatly increased cell fragility. 7. The data suggest that activity of the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- co-transport system is controlled by a cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation with the phosphorylated form being active. Phosphorylation and transport appear to be almost maximal in ferret red cells with normal [ATP]i. Reduction of [ATP]i may allow changes in phosphatase activity to manifest as changes in transport rate. Differences in the balance between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation may explain tissue-dependent variations in the response of the system to various stimuli.

Abstract
A possible role for loop diuretic-sensitive Cl-/cation cotransport in volume regulation in the pancreatic beta-cells was investigated by measuring 86Rb+ efflux from beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets as well as the size of isolated beta-cells under different osmotic conditions. Lowering the osmolarity to 262 mosM (83% of control) resulted in a rapid cell swelling which was followed by regulatory volume decrease (RVD). RVD was completely inhibited by furosemide (1 mM), an inhibitor of Cl-/cation co-transport. The hypotonic medium (262 mosM) induced a rapid and strong increase in 86Rb+ efflux from beta-cell-rich mouse pancreatic islets and the furosemide-sensitive portion of the efflux was significantly increased. A slightly less hypotonic medium (285 mosM, 90% of control) induced only cell swelling and no RVD. With this medium only a marginal increase in 86Rb+ efflux was observed. Increasing the osmolarity by adding 50 mM NaCl (final osmolarity: 417 mosM, 132% of control) induced a rapid cell shrinkage but no regulatory volume increase (RVI). When the osmolarity was increased from a slightly hypotonic medium (262 mosM) to an isotonic medium (317 mosM) an initial cell shrinkage was followed by RVI. This RVI was inhibited by 1 mM furosemide. The data suggest that RVD as well as RVI in the beta-cells are mediated by loop diuretic-sensitive cotransport of chloride and cations and that these cells show a threshold for hypotonic stimulation of RVD.

Abstract
To elucidate mechanisms of mercury toxicity, the cell membrane potential has been determined continuously in cultured kidney (MDCK)-cells during reversible application of mercury ions to extracellular perfusate. Exposure of the cells to 1 microM mercury ions is followed by rapid, sustained, and slowly reversible hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, increase of cell membrane potassium selectivity, and decrease of cell membrane resistance. Thus, mercury ions enhance the potassium conductance of the cell membrane. Half maximal hyperpolarizing effect is elicited by approximately 0.2 microM. Higher concentrations of mercury ions (greater than 10 microM) eventually depolarize the cell membrane. At extracellular calcium activity reduced to less than 0.1 microM, 1 microM mercury ions still leads to a sustained hyperpolarization and increase of potassium selectivity of the cell membrane. As evident from fluorescence measurements, 10 microM, but not 1 microM mercury ions leads to a rapid increase of intracellular calcium activity. Pretreatment of the cells with either pertussis toxin or cholera toxin does not blunt the hyperpolarizing effect of mercury ions. In conclusion, mercury ions activate the potassium conductance by a mechanism independent of increase of intracellular calcium activity and of cholera toxin- or pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins. This activation of potassium conductance may account for early effects of mercury intoxication, such as kaliuresis.

Abstract
Cobalt has been shown to stimulate sodium transport across the distal nephron of the newt kidney. The mechanism of this action remained elusive. The present study has been performed to test for effects of cobalt on electrical properties of cultured subconfluent kidney (MDCK)-cells: cobalt (10 microM) leads to a rapid, sustained and reversible hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, paralleled by an increase of the potassium selectivity and a decrease of the resistance. Thus, cobalt increases the potassium conductance of the cell membrane. The half-maximal effect is elicited by approx. 1 microM. At extracellular calcium concentration reduced to less than 0.1 microM, cobalt (10 microM) leads to a transient hyperpolarization, which can be elicited only once. Thus, cobalt enhances the potassium conductance in a calcium dependent way. At higher concentrations (100 microM) cobalt hyperpolarizes the cell membrane only transiently even in the presence of extracellular calcium. Furthermore 100 microM cobalt interferes with ATP-induced hyperpolarization, which is known to result from calcium mediated activation of K+ channels. Thus, 100 microM cobalt may inhibit ATP-stimulated calcium entry into the cell.

Abstract
Different classes of apparently unrelated permeases couple different forms of energy to solute transport. While the energy coupling mechanisms utilized by the different permease classes are clearly distinct, it is proposed, based on structural comparisons, that many of these permeases possess transmembrane, hydrophobic domains which are evolutionarily related. Carriers may have arisen from transmembrane pore-forming proteins, and the protein constituents or domains which are specifically responsible for energy coupling may have had distinct origins. Thus, complex permeases may possess mosaic structures. This suggestion is substantiated by recent findings regarding the evolutionary origins of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS). Mechanistic implications of this proposal are presented.

Abstract
The kidney is a main target organ for cadmium toxicity. The present study has been performed to test for effects of cadmium on electrical properties of cultured subconfluent kidney (MDCK) cells. Cadmium leads to a rapid, sustained and reversible hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, paralleled by an increase of the potassium selectivity and a decrease of the resistance. Thus, cadmium increases the potassium conductance of the cell membrane. The half maximal effect is elicited congruent to 0.2 microM, a concentration encountered during chronic cadmium intoxication. At extracellular calcium concentration reduced to less than 0.1 microM, 5 microM cadmium leads to a transient hyperpolarization, which can be elicited only once. High concentrations (50 microM) of cadmium lead to a sustained hyperpolarization even at extracellular calcium concentrations of less than 0.1 microM. According to fluorescence measurements cadmium leads to an increase of intracellular calcium activity, which is sustained at 1 mM and transient at less than 1 microM extracellular calcium activity. In conclusion, cadmium at low concentrations enhances the potassium conductance in a calcium dependent way. The observations suggest that cadmium enhances intracellular calcium both by recruitment from intracellular stores and by modification of calcium transport across the cell membrane. At high concentrations cadmium enhances the potassium conductance independently from enhanced intracellular calcium activity.

Abstract
In order to investigate whether Na+ participates in loop diuretic-sensitive Cl(-)-cation co-transport in the beta-cells, we tested the interaction between the effects of Na+ deficiency, furosemide and D-glucose on 86Rb+ fluxes in beta-cell-rich mouse pancreatic islets. Removal of extracellular Na+ slightly reduced the ouabain-resistant 86Rb+ influx and the specific effect of 1 mM furosemide on this influx was significantly smaller in Na(+)-deficient medium. The capacity of 20 mM D-glucose to reduce the ouabain-resistant 86Rb+ influx was not changed by removal of extracellular Na+. The 86Rb+ efflux from preloaded islets was rapidly and reversibly reduced by Na+ deficiency. Furosemide (1 mM) reduced the 86Rb+ efflux and the effect of the combination of Na+ deficiency and 1 mM furosemide was not stronger than the effect of furosemide alone. 22Na+ efflux was reduced by both ouabain and furosemide and the effects appeared to be additive. The data suggest that Na+ participates in loop diuretic-sensitive Cl(-)-cation co-transport in the pancreatic beta-cells. This adds further support to the idea that beta-cells exhibit a Na+, K+, Cl- co-transport system. Since some of the furosemide effect on 86Rb+ efflux persisted in the Na(+)-deficient medium, it is likely that also loop diuretic-sensitive K+, Cl- co-transport exists in this cell type.

Abstract
In order to characterize the transport systems mediating K+ uptake into oocytes, flux studies employing 86Rb were performed on Xenopus oocytes stripped of follicular cells by pretreatment with Ca2(+)-Mg2(+)-free Barth's medium. Total Rb+ uptake consisted of an ouabain-sensitive and an ouabain-insensitive flux. In the presence of 100 mmol/l NaCl and 0.1 mmol/l ouabain the ouabain-insensitive flux amounted to 754.7 +/- 59.9 pmol/oocyte per h (n = 30 cells, i.e., 10 cells each from three different animals). In the absence of Na+ (Na+ substituted by N-methylglucamine) or when Cl- was replaced by NO3- the ouabain-insensitive flux was reduced to 84.4 +/- 42.9 and 79.2 +/- 12.1 pmol/oocyte per h, respectively (n = 50 cells). Furthermore, this Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent flux was completely inhibited by 10(-4) mol/l bumetanide, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport system. These results suggest that K+ uptake via a bumetanide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport system represents a major K+ pathway in oocytes.

Abstract
Alterations in intracellular monovalent cation concentrations in Sindbis virus-infected avian cells result, in part, from a reduction in Na+/K+ ATPase (Na+ pump) activity. Inhibition of Na+ pump activity was shown previously to temporally correlate with the appearance of viral envelope proteins on the cell surface and the release of virus particles. Cells infected with envelope-defective temperature-sensitive mutants exhibited reduced Na+ pump activity at the nonpermissive temperature, where viral particles are not released. By contrast, Na+ pump activity was not inhibited in Sindbis virus-infected cells treated with tunicamycin or with antiviral serum, which block virus maturation and release. Diuretic-sensitive transport of 86Rb+, aK+ tracer, was stimulated in cells which express virus envelope proteins, but fail to release virus particles. In these cells, the furosemide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx exhibited an increase in Vmax and was responsive to changes in the extracellular concentration of NaCl. Furosemide inhibited the rapid release of virus from low salt-inhibited cells after shift to isotonic conditions. Alterations in ion transport during alphavirus infection may, therefore, facilitate the efficient release of progeny virus particles.

Abstract
Loop diuretic-sensitive (Na+,K+,Cl-)-cotransport activity was found to be present in basolateral membrane vesicles of surface and crypt cells of rabbit distal colon epithelium. The presence of gradients of all three ions was essential for optimal transport activity. (Na+,K+) gradient-driven 36Cl fluxes were half-maximally inhibited by 0.14 microM bumetanide and 44 microM furosemide. While 86Rb uptake rates showed hyperbolic dependencies on Na+ and K+ concentrations with Hill coefficients of 0.8 and 0.9, respectively, uptakes were sigmoidally related to the Cl concentration, Hill coefficient 1.8, indicating a 1 Na+:1 K+:2 Cl stoichiometry of ion transport. The interaction of putative (Na+,K+,Cl-)-cotransport proteins with loop diuretics was studied from equilibrium-binding experiments using [3H]-bumetanide. The requirement for the simultaneous presence of Na+,K+, and Cl-, saturability, reversibility, and specificity for diuretics suggest specific binding to the (Na+,K+,Cl-)-cotransporter. [3H]-bumetanide recognizes a minimum of two classes of diuretic receptor sites, high-affinity (KD1 = 0.13 microM; Bmax1 = 6.4 pmol/mg of protein) and low-affinity (KD2 = 34 microM; Bmax2 = 153 pmol/mg of protein) sites. The specific binding to the high-affinity receptor was found to be linearly competitive with Cl- (Ki = 60 mM), whereas low-affinity sites seem to be unaffected by Cl-. We have shown that only high-affinity [3H]-bumetanide binding correlates with transport inhibition raising questions on the physiological significance of diuretic receptor site heterogeneity observed in rabbit distal colon epithelium.

Abstract
Estimations of proximal tubule sodium reabsorption with the FELi method come closer to direct measurements than any other indirect method. There is little doubt that most lithium reabsorption takes place in the proximal tubules, very likely in proportion to the reabsorption of sodium and water. It is also likely that changes in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption due to changes in volume status are paralleled by changes in proximal tubule lithium reabsorption, at least in the superficial nephrons. Nonetheless, changes in FELi probably do not purely reflect changes in proximal reabsorption, since lithium is also handled beyond the proximal tubules. Acknowledged problems are lithium reabsorption in Henle's loop and in the late distal and collecting tubules. The latter occurs in the rat and the dog, but not or much less in men. Sodium restriction enhances this lithium transport considerably. It is as yet uncertain whether other conditions, such as increased vasopressin activity or lowering of renal perfusion pressure, also influence this transport. Amiloride appears to prevent this reabsorption of lithium. Therefore, this drug can be used in lithium clearance studies whenever unwanted "distal" lithium reabsorption is expected. Lithium reabsorption in Henle's loop forms a greater problem as it cannot be prevented by any drug without influencing proximal tubule reabsorption. It is estimated that about 7% of the filtered lithium (one-tenth of total lithium reabsorption) is normally taken up here, preferentially in deep nephrons. In view of studies with furosemide, this reabsorption probably varies with sodium intake, but the proportion of this variation to that of proximal tubule lithium reabsorption is obscure. This remains an uncertain factor in any circumstance where the lithium clearance method is used. In some conditions the change in FELi may be so large relative to the expected changes in proximal reabsorption, that use of FELi as marker of end-proximal solute delivery seems unjustified. Disproportionately large suppression is likely during mineralo-corticoid-induced volume expansion, and stimulation during prostaglandin synthesis inhibition and vasopressin. Based on observations in these conditions the potential range of lithium reabsorption in the loop of Henle would be 0 to 15% of filtered load. In this review attention was paid mainly to the validity of lithium clearance as a pure "proximal marker". Many of our interpretations suffer from incomplete certainty with respect to the renal effects of tested maneuvers, a problem which is acknowledged.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells have been shown to contain atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-sensitive Na-K-Cl cotransport system whose activity is regulated by intracellular cGMP levels. Addition of ANP to culture medium stimulated 86Rb+ uptake in bovine endothelial cells with a concomitant increase in cGMP contents. This action of ANP was mimicked by 8-bromo-cGMP and completely diminished by furosemide. These results indicate that ANP selectively activates the Na-K-Cl cotransporter in vascular endothelial cells via cGMP and offer new insight into the physiological significance of endothelial ANP receptors.

Abstract
1. Fluid reabsorption from surface proximal tubules of the rat was measured in vivo using stationary microperfusion techniques. Reabsorptive rate (Jv) was measured from droplets containing chloride as the main reabsorbable anion and when chloride was substituted by bromide, iodide, nitrate, acetate, isethionate or methylsulphate in either the tubular lumen alone or in both lumen and peritubular capillaries. 2. In tubules with an intact blood supply, droplet volume decreased in a manner best described by a single exponential and substitution of chloride by nitrate or bromide had no effect on Jv. Substitution by iodide or acetate inhibited Jv by approximately 17% but substitution by methylsulphate or isethionate caused droplets to transiently increase in volume before shrinkage which was itself inhibited by approximately 50%. The inhibitory action of isethionate was found to be concentration dependent. 3. Recollection and analysis of droplets which were initially free of chloride, containing either nitrate or isethionate, showed that chloride entered these droplets, but that the initial rate of chloride entry was greater for nitrate than isethionate droplets. 4. When tubules and capillaries were perfused with chloride solutions containing no bicarbonate, Jv was reduced to about 20% of the value when peritubular capillary blood flow was intact. Substituting chloride in the tubular and capillary perfusion revealed a sequence for supporting fluid reabsorption that was identical to that when chloride was substituted in tubule fluid alone: bromide = nitrate greater than iodide = acetate greater than isethionate. Addition of 2.0 mmol l-1 NaCN reduced the reabsorptive flux to zero. 5. The results of this study are consistent with transcellular transport of anions across the proximal tubular epithelium. The pathways for anion transport are likely to involve a series of non-selective mechanisms such as anion exchangers.

Abstract
The effect of the L-fucose-selective lectin Ulex Europeus I (UEA I), a blocker of the Na+, K+, Cl- co-transport system in the kidney, was tested on insulin secretion from isolated beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets. UEA I at doses from 50 to 100 micrograms ml-1 significantly reduced the glucose-induced (20 mmol l-1) insulin release whereas the basal (3 mmol l-1) release was unaffected. The inhibitory effect of 100 micrograms ml l-1 UEA I was completely abolished by 10 mmol l-1 L-fucose. The data suggest that an L-fucose-containing structure in the beta-cell plasma membrane participates in the regulation of glucose-induced insulin release. This structure may be similar to the L-fucose-containing glycoprotein in the kidney tubules that is believed to be the Na+, K+, Cl- cotransporter.

Abstract
The interaction between furosemide, calcium and D-glucose on the 86Rb+ efflux from beta-cell-rich mouse pancreatic islets was investigated in a perifusion system with high temporal resolution. Raising the glucose concentration from 4 to 20 mM induced an initial decrease in 86Rb+ efflux, which was followed by a steep increase and then a secondary decrease. Removal of extracellular calcium increased the 86Rb+ efflux at 4 mM D-glucose but reduced it at 20 mM. The initial biphasic changes in 86Rb+ efflux induced by 20 mM D-glucose were inhibited by calcium deficiency. Furosemide (100 microM) reduced the 86Rb+ efflux rate both at 4 and 20 mM D-glucose and the magnitudes appeared to be similar at either glucose concentration. Furosemide (100 microM) reduced the glucose-induced (10 mM) 45Ca+ uptake but did not affect the basal (3 mM D-glucose) 45Ca+ uptake. However, the ability of furosemide (100 microM) to reduce the 86Rb+ efflux at a high glucose concentration (20 mM) was independent of extracellular calcium. The inhibitory effects of furosemide and calcium deficiency on the 86Rb+ efflux rate appeared to be additive. It is concluded that the effect of furosemide on 86Rb+ efflux is not secondary to reduced calcium uptake and that the effects of furosemide and calcium deficiency are mediated by different mechanisms. The effect of furosemide is compatible with inhibition of loop diuretic-sensitive co-transport of Na+, K+ and Cl- and the effect of calcium deficiency with reduced activity of calcium-regulated potassium channels.

Abstract
To elucidate the effects of acetylcholine on the electrical properties of incompletely confluent Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells continuous measurements of the potential difference across the cell membrane (PD) were made with conventional microelectrodes during rapid changes of extracellular fluid composition. During control conditions PD averages -48.9 +/- 1.0 mV (n = 51). 1 mumol/l acetylcholine leads to a sustained but reversible hyperpolarization of the cell membrane by -17.9 +/- 0.7 mV (n = 51). Half-maximal effect is observed at some 100 nmol/l. 1 mumol/l atropine does not significantly alter the potential difference across the cell membrane, but abolishes reversibly the hyperpolarizing effect of acetylcholine. Increase of extracellular potassium concentration from 5.4 mmol/l to 20 mmol/l depolarizes the cell membrane by +12.1 +/- 1.1 mV (n = 12) in the absence and by +25.7 +/- 0.9 mV (n = 12) in the presence of acetylcholine. Within 80 s removal of extracellular calcium leads to a depolarization of the cell membrane by +16.2 +/- 3.2 mV (n = 9). In the nominal absence of extracellular calcium acetylcholine leads to a transient hyperpolarization by -13.8 +/- 1.8 mV (n = 9), which can be elicited only once. In conclusion, acetylcholine hyperpolarizes the plasma membrane of MDCK cells by calcium-dependent enhancement of potassium conductance.

Abstract
1. The presence of a loop diuretic-sensitive co-transport system for Na+, K+ and Cl- was tested in isolated pancreatic islets. 2. Substitution of Cl- with the impermeant anion isethionate or addition of frusemide both reduced the ouabain-resistant islets uptake of 86Rb+ (K+ marker) without affecting the ouabain-sensitive uptake or equilibrium content of 86Rb+. The effects of Cl- substitution and frusemide were overlapping. 3. D-Glucose reduced the ouabain-resistant islets uptake of 86Rb+. This effect was additive to the effect of Cl- substitution or frusemide. 4. Substitution of Cl- with isethionate or addition of frusemide both reduced the efflux of 86Rb+ from the islets. These effects were additive to the reduction of 86Rb+ efflux induced by D-glucose. 5. Substitution of K+ or Na+ with choline reduced the equilibrium content of 36Cl- in the pancreatic islets. 6. These data are compatible with the operation in the pancreatic beta-cells of a loop diuretic-sensitive co-transport system for Na+, K+ and Cl-, that may serve as an inwardly directed Cl- pump.

Abstract
Loop diuretics of the benzoic acid and aryloxyacetic acid families inhibit Na+K+Cl- cotransport. The ranking order of potencies measured in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and the ranking order of affinities for [3H]piretanide receptors on renal plasma membranes are the same. Potencies and affinities correlate well (correlation coefficient r = 0.959 for the medulla and r = 0.951 for the cortex). Therefore, measurement of [3H]piretanide binding is proposed to facilitate screening for loop diuretic action.

Abstract
The present study has been performed to test for the influence of serotonin on the potential difference across the cell membrane (PD) of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK)-cells. Under control conditions PD averages -48.6 +/- 0.6 mV (n = 98). Increasing extracellular potassium concentration from 5.4 to 10 and 20 mmol/l depolarizes the cell membrane by +6.3 +/- 0.6 mV (n = 6) and +14.1 +/- 1.0 mV (n = 12), respectively. The cell membrane is transiently hyperpolarized to -67.8 +/- 0.8 mV (n = 63) by 1 mumol/l serotonin. In the presence of serotonin, increasing extracellular potassium concentration from 5.4 to 20 mmol/l depolarizes the cell membrane by +26.4 +/- 1.0 mV (n = 11). 1 mmol/l barium depolarizes the cell membrane by +15.7 +/- 1.3 mV (n = 17) and abolishes the effect of step increases of extracellular potassium concentration from 5.4 to 10 mmol/l. In the presence of barium, serotonin leads to a transient hyperpolarization by -26.3 +/- 1.0 mV (n = 16). During this transient hyperpolarization, the cell membrane is sensitive to extracellular potassium concentration despite the continued presence of barium. 10 mumol/l methysergide hyperpolarize the cell membrane by -7.2 +/- 2.0 mV (n = 6). In the presence of 10 mumol/l methysergide, the effect of serotonin is virtually abolished (+0.4 +/- 0.9 mV, n = 6). 1 mumol/l ketanserin, a 5-HT2 receptor blocking agent, ICS 205-930, a 5-HT3 receptor blocking agent, and phentolamine, an unspecific alpha-receptor blocking agent, do not significantly modify the effect of serotonin. In the nominal absence of extracellular calcium, the effect of serotonin is markedly reduced.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Thiazides and related diuretics inhibit NaCl reabsorption in the distal tubule through an unknown mechanism. We report here that [3H]metolazone, a diuretic with a thiazide-like mechanism of action, labels a site in rat kidney membranes that has characteristics of the thiazide-sensitive ion transporter. [3H]Metolazone bound with high affinity (Kd = 4.27 nM) to a site with a density of 0.717 pmol/mg of protein in kidney membranes. The binding site was localized to the renal cortex, with little or no binding in other kidney regions and 11 other tissues. The affinities of thiazide-type diuretics for this binding site were significantly correlated with their clinical potency. Halide anions (Cl-, Br-, and I-) specifically inhibited high-affinity binding of [3H]metolazone to this site. [3H]Metolazone also bound with lower affinity (Kd = 289 nM) to sites present in kidney as well as in liver, testis, lung, brain, heart, and other tissues. Calcium antagonists and certain smooth muscle relaxants had Ki values of 0.6-10 microM for these low-affinity sites, which were not inhibited by most of the thiazide diuretics tested. Properties of the high-affinity [3H]metolazone binding site are consistent with its identity as the receptor for thiazide-type diuretics.

Abstract
1. The magnesium dependence of net and isotopic (using 86Rb as tracer) potassium transport was measured in fed ferret red cells. Bumetanide (0.1 mM) was used to dissect total flux into two components: bumetanide sensitive and bumetanide resistant. 2. Increasing the external magnesium concentration from zero (added) to 2 mM stimulated bumetanide-sensitive uptake by 16% but inhibited the bumetanide-resistant component by about 20%. 3. Ionophore A23187 was used to control internal magnesium concentration. A23187 was usually present in the cells during measurement of isotopic fluxes but was washed away before measurement of net fluxes. The magnesium-buffering characteristics of fed ferret red cells were assessed during these experiments. The cytoplasm acts as a high-capacity, low-affinity magnesium buffer over most of the range. Some high-affinity binding was seen in the presence of A23187 and 2 mM-EDTA. 4. A23187 itself slightly inhibits bumetanide-sensitive potassium transport. 5. Bumetanide-sensitive potassium transport is strongly dependent on the concentration of internal ionized magnesium. Transport is 35% maximal at 10(-7) M and increases up to the maximal rate at 1.3 mM. Further increase in ionized magnesium concentration to 3.5 mM has no additional effect. The curve relating activity to magnesium concentration is steepest at the physiological magnesium concentration. The effects of changing magnesium concentration are fully reversible. 6. Reduction of internal ionized magnesium concentration to 10(-7) M with A23187 and EDTA approximately doubles bumetanide-resistant potassium transport. 7. Bumetanide-sensitive fluxes occur via the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transport system under the conditions used. Results described in this paper thus suggest that internal magnesium may be an important physiological controller of sodium-potassium-chloride co-transport activity.

Abstract
The Na-K-Cl cotransport system in human erythrocytes was studied by measuring net influxes and effluxes of Na and K. The influx of K was shown to be stimulated by Na and the influx of Na was stimulated by K, satisfying the fundamental criterion of cotransport. In addition, these mutually stimulating cation influxes had a stoichiometry of 1:1 and were entirely inhibited by furosemide; these results are also consistent with cotransport. Furthermore, the mutually stimulating influxes were entirely dependent on Cl, since they were abolished when nitrate was substituted for Cl. In contrast, cotransport, defined by mutual dependence of fluxes, was not detected in the outward direction over a range of cellular Na and K concentrations from 0 to 50 mmol/l cells. The cotransport pathway did, however, appear to mediate a Na-stimulated K efflux (but no K-stimulated Na efflux), and furosemide-inhibitable effluxes of both Na and K. Nitrate (but not sulfate) appeared to substitute for chloride in promoting Na-stimulated K efflux. Thus the Na-K-Cl cotransport system in human red cells is intrinsically asymmetric, and mediates coupled cation fluxes readily only in the inward direction.

Abstract
1. After considering the direct coupling and indirect coupling to the sodium gradient in sodium-dependent secretion across epithelia, the properties of the Na-K-Cl cotransporter involved in active chloride secretion and active chloride absorption are summarized. 2. A comparison between cellular mechanism of secretion and absorption shows that the direction of transepithelial transport is determined mainly by the intracellular localization of sodium cotransport systems and sodium-independent leaks. 3. Sodium cotransport systems, performing a similar function in various epithelia or species, may provide a powerful model to study their function at a molecular level.

Abstract
The migration of keratocytes isolated from Xenopus tadpole epidermis has been investigated in vitro. In saline the cells move with a mean speed of 5-6 microns/min. Migration is slowed down in saline with diminished sodium content and ceases in media containing not more than 4 mM sodium. Inhibition of the Na+/K+-2Cl- cotransporter by piretanide reduces the speed of migrating cells to about one-third of the control level, the same accounts to inhibition of the Na+/H+ antiport with amiloride at pH 7.2. At pH 6.6, however, amiloride only slightly influences locomotion. Depolarization of the plasma membrane by increased extracellular K+ concentration or by inhibition of the Na+/K+ pump by ouabain is only of minor influence during more than 1 h. Hyperpolarization of the cells using the sodium ionophore monensin impedes locomotion; this inhibition depends on an active Na+/K+ pump. Ionophore-mediated breakdown of the K+ gradient strictly inhibits locomotion. The experiments have shown that a continuous flux of sodium ions is indispensable for the maintenance of cell locomotion. These ions may exert their action primarily by affecting cytosolic free calcium concentration and pH.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that vascular smooth muscle cells possess a prominent Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport system that can be markedly stimulated by elevations in levels of intracellular cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP). Since others have shown that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) can bind to specific membrane receptors and can enhance cGMP levels in vascular smooth muscle cells, we asked whether ANF could also stimulate Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport in vascular smooth muscle cells. It was discovered that rat atriopeptin III stimulated Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport of vascular smooth muscle cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, rat atriopeptin III had no effect on two other sodium transport systems known to be present in vascular smooth muscle cells (i.e., Na+-H+ exchange and Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). These studies indicated that ANF selectively stimulates Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport of vascular smooth muscle cells. We then asked whether ANF-stimulated Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport was dependent upon the ability of ANF to enhance intracellular cGMP levels. When rat atriopeptin III-stimulated increases in cGMP were inhibited with the quinolinedione LY 83583, rat atriopeptin III could no longer stimulate Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport of vascular smooth muscle cells. Thus it appeared that the effects of ANF were dependent upon the ability of ANF to elevate intracellular cGMP levels. Finally, we asked whether ANF effects on Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport were related to the biological activity of ANF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
