Abstract
Na+/H+ exchangers play pivotal roles in the control of cell and tissue pH by mediating the electroneutral exchange of Na+ and H+ across cellular membranes. They belong to an ancient family of highly evolutionarily conserved proteins, and they play essential physiological roles in all phyla. In this review, we focus on the mammalian Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs), the solute carrier (SLC) 9 family. This family of electroneutral transporters constitutes three branches: SLC9A, -B, and -C. Within these, each isoform exhibits distinct tissue expression profiles, regulation, and physiological roles. Some of these transporters are highly studied, with hundreds of original articles, and some are still only rudimentarily understood. In this review, we present and discuss the pioneering original work as well as the current state-of-the-art research on mammalian NHEs. We aim to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of core knowledge and recent insights into each family member, from gene organization over protein structure and regulation to physiological and pathophysiological roles. Particular attention is given to the integrated physiology of NHEs in the main organ systems. We provide several novel analyses and useful overviews, and we pinpoint main remaining enigmas, which we hope will inspire novel research on these highly versatile proteins.

Abstract
Receptors for extracellular nucleotides are widely expressed by mammalian cells. They mediate a large array of responses ranging from growth stimulation to apoptosis, from chemotaxis to cell differentiation and from nociception to cytokine release, as well as neurotransmission. Pharma industry is involved in the development and clinical testing of drugs selectively targeting the different P1 nucleoside and P2 nucleotide receptor subtypes. As described in detail in the present review, P2 receptors are expressed by all tumours, in some cases to a very high level. Activation or inhibition of selected P2 receptor subtypes brings about cancer cell death or growth inhibition. The field has been largely neglected by current research in oncology, yet the evidence presented in this review, most of which is based on in vitro studies, although with a limited amount from in vivo experiments and human studies, warrants further efforts to explore the therapeutic potential of purinoceptor targeting in cancer.

Abstract
Members of the TMEM16 (Anoctamin) family of membrane proteins have been shown to be essential constituents of the Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (CaCC) in many cell types. In this study, we have investigated the electrophysiological properties of mouse TMEM16F. Heterologous expression of TMEM16F in HEK293 cells resulted in plasma membrane localization and an outwardly rectifying ICl,Ca that was activated with a delay of several minutes. Furthermore, a significant Na+ current was activated, and the two permeabilities were correlated according to PNa = 0.3 PCl. The current showed an EC50 of 100 µM intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and an Eisenman type 1 anion selectivity sequence of PSCN > PI > PBr > PCl > PAsp. The mTMEM16F-associated ICl,Ca was abolished in one mutant of the putative pore region (R592E) but retained in two other mutants (K616E and R636E). The mutant K616E had a lower relative permeability to iodide, and the mutant R636E had an altered anion selectivity sequence (PSCN = PI = PBr = PCl > PAsp). Our data provide evidence that TMEM16F constitutes a Ca2+-activated anion channel or a pore-forming subunit of an anion channel with properties distinct from TMEM16A.

Abstract
This mini review outlines studies of cell volume regulation in two closely related mammalian cell lines: nonadherent Ehrlich ascites tumour cells (EATC) and adherent Ehrlich Lettre ascites (ELA) cells. Focus is on the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) that occurs after cell swelling, the volume regulatory ion channels involved, and the mechanisms (cellular signalling pathways) that regulate these channels. Finally, I shall also briefly review current investigations in these two cell lines that focuses on how changes in cell volume can regulate cell functions such as cell migration, proliferation, and programmed cell death.

Abstract
Cell volume homeostasis and its fine-tuning to the specific physiological context at any given moment are processes fundamental to normal cell function. The understanding of cell volume regulation owes much to August Krogh, yet has advanced greatly over the last decades. In this review, we outline the historical context of studies of cell volume regulation, focusing on the lineage started by Krogh, Bodil Schmidt-Nielsen, Hans-Henrik Ussing, and their students. The early work was focused on understanding the functional behaviour, kinetics and thermodynamics of the volume-regulatory ion transport mechanisms. Later work addressed the mechanisms through which cellular signalling pathways regulate the volume regulatory effectors or flux pathways. These studies were facilitated by the molecular identification of most of the relevant channels and transporters, and more recently also by the increased understanding of their structures. Finally, much current research in the field focuses on the most up- and downstream components of these paths: how cells sense changes in cell volume, and how cell volume changes in turn regulate cell function under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Purinergic receptors activate diverse signaling cascades and regulate the activity of cell volume-sensitive ion transporters. However, the effects of ATP and other agonists of P2 receptors on cell volume dynamics are only scarcely studied. In the present work, we used the recently developed dual-image surface reconstruction technique to explore the influence of purinergic agonists on cell volume in the C11-Madin-Darby canine kidney cell line resembling intercalated cells from kidney collecting ducts. Unexpectedly, we found that ATP and UTP triggered very robust (55-60%) cell shrinkage that lasted up to 2 h after agonist washout. Purinergic regulation of cell volume required increases in intracellular Ca(2+) and could be partially mimicked by the Ca(2+)-ionophore ionomycin or activation of protein kinase C by 4β-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Cell shrinkage was accompanied by strong reductions in intracellular K(+) and Cl(-) content measured using steady-state (86)Rb(+) and (36)Cl(-) distribution. Both shrinkage and ion efflux in ATP-treated cells were prevented by the anion channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB) and by the BK(Ca) channel inhibitors charybdotoxin, iberiotoxin, and paxilline. To evaluate the significance of cell-volume changes in purinergic signaling, we measured the impact of ATP on the expression of the immediate-early gene c-Fos. Thirty-minute treatment with ATP increased c-Fos immunoreactivity by approximately fivefold, an effect that was strongly inhibited by charybdotoxin and completely prevented by NPPB. Overall, our findings suggest that ATP-induced cell-volume changes are partially responsible for the physiological actions of purinergic agonists.

Abstract
The ability to control cell volume is pivotal for cell function. Cell volume perturbation elicits a wide array of signaling events, leading to protective (e.g., cytoskeletal rearrangement) and adaptive (e.g., altered expression of osmolyte transporters and heat shock proteins) measures and, in most cases, activation of volume regulatory osmolyte transport. After acute swelling, cell volume is regulated by the process of regulatory volume decrease (RVD), which involves the activation of KCl cotransport and of channels mediating K(+), Cl(-), and taurine efflux. Conversely, after acute shrinkage, cell volume is regulated by the process of regulatory volume increase (RVI), which is mediated primarily by Na(+)/H(+) exchange, Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransport, and Na(+) channels. Here, we review in detail the current knowledge regarding the molecular identity of these transport pathways and their regulation by, e.g., membrane deformation, ionic strength, Ca(2+), protein kinases and phosphatases, cytoskeletal elements, GTP binding proteins, lipid mediators, and reactive oxygen species, upon changes in cell volume. We also discuss the nature of the upstream elements in volume sensing in vertebrate organisms. Importantly, cell volume impacts on a wide array of physiological processes, including transepithelial transport; cell migration, proliferation, and death; and changes in cell volume function as specific signals regulating these processes. A discussion of this issue concludes the review.

Abstract
Cell volume perturbation initiates a wide array of intracellular signalling cascades, leading to protective and adaptive events and, in most cases, activation of volume-regulatory osmolyte transport, water loss, and hence restoration of cell volume and cellular function. Cell volume is challenged not only under physiological conditions, e.g. following accumulation of nutrients, during epithelial absorption/secretion processes, following hormonal/autocrine stimulation, and during induction of apoptosis, but also under pathophysiological conditions, e.g. hypoxia, ischaemia and hyponatremia/hypernatremia. On the other hand, it has recently become clear that an increase or reduction in cell volume can also serve as a specific signal in the regulation of physiological processes such as transepithelial transport, cell migration, proliferation and death. Although the mechanisms by which cell volume perturbations are sensed are still far from clear, significant progress has been made with respect to the nature of the sensors, transducers and effectors that convert a change in cell volume into a physiological response. In the present review, we summarize recent major developments in the field, and emphasize the relationship between cell volume regulation and organism physiology/pathophysiology.

Abstract
We investigated how agonists at purinoceptors may affect tumour cell metabolism. This was investigated in vitro in tumour cell lines by microphysiometry, which method monitors extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), on-line. The cell lines investigated were the murine sarcoma, MCG 101, and the human colon cancer, HT-29. In MCG 101, adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) or uridine-5'-triphosphate (UTP) caused a concentration-dependent increase in ECAR, most likely due to the ligation of P2Y(2) receptors, which response was blocked by suramin. In HT-29, ATP or UTP elicited a concentration-dependent, biphasic change in ECAR (increase/decrease). The pharmacological analysis suggests the involvement of P2Y(2) receptors, although other P2 receptor subtypes cannot be entirely excluded. This biphasic response to UTP or ATP was resistant to suramin. The expression of P2Y(2) receptors was demonstrated in both cell lines by immunocytochemistry and Western blot. The current study, thus, shows the functional and morphological expression of a purinoceptor subtype with partly different effects on metabolism in two different tumour cell lines.

Abstract
Change in the intracellular concentration of osmolytes or the extracellular tonicity results in a rapid transmembrane water flow in mammalian cells until intracellular and extracellular tonicities are equilibrated. Most cells respond to the osmotic cell swelling by activation of volume-sensitive flux pathways for ions and organic osmolytes to restore their original cell volume. Taurine is an important organic osmolyte in mammalian cells, and taurine release via a volume-sensitive taurine efflux pathway is increased and the active taurine uptake via the taurine specific taurine transporter TauT decreased following osmotic cell swelling. The cellular signaling cascades, the second messengers profile, the activation of specific transporters, and the subsequent time course for the readjustment of the cellular content of osmolytes and volume vary from cell type to cell type. Using Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts and HeLa cells as biological systems, it is revealed that phospholipase A2-mediated mobilization of arachidonic acid from phospholipids and subsequent oxidation of the fatty acid via lipoxygenase systems to potent eicosanoids are essential elements in the signaling cascade that is activated by cell swelling and leads to release of osmolytes. The cellular signaling cascade and the activity of the volume-sensitive taurine efflux pathway are modulated by elements of the cytoskeleton, protein tyrosine kinases/phosphatases, GTP-binding proteins, Ca2+/calmodulin, and reactive oxygen species and nucleotides. Serine/threonine phosphorylation of the active taurine uptake system TauT or a putative regulator, as well as change in the membrane potential, are important elements in the regulation of TauT activity. A model describing the cellular sequence, which is activated by cell swelling and leads to activation of the volume-sensitive efflux pathway, is presented at the end of the review.

Abstract
An increase in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) has been shown to be involved in the increase in ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in response to ATP; however, the signaling pathways associated with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor-dependent Ca(2+) mobilization remain unresolved. Using radioimmunoassay techniques, we have demonstrated the appearance of two IP(3) peaks occurring 10 and 60 s after ATP addition, which was strongly correlated with a release of intracellular Ca(2+) from internal stores and an influx of extracellular Ca(2+), respectively. In addition, ATP-dependent Ca(2+) mobilization required protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activation. We found an increase in PKC activity in response to ATP, with a peak at 60 s after ATP addition. Xestospongin C, an IP(3) receptor blocker, significantly diminished both the ATP-induced increase in CBF and the initial transient [Ca(2+)](i) component. ATP addition in the presence of xestospongin C or thapsigargin revealed that the Ca(2+) influx is also dependent on IP(3) receptor activation. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopic studies showed the presence of IP(3) receptor types 1 and 3 in cultured ciliated cells. Immunogold electron microscopy localized IP(3) receptor type 3 to the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, and, interestingly, the plasma membrane. In contrast, IP(3) receptor type 1 was found exclusively in the nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum. Our study demonstrates for the first time the presence of IP(3) receptor type 3 in the plasma membrane in ciliated cells and leads us to postulate that the IP(3) receptor can directly trigger Ca(2+) influx in response to ATP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the effects of extracellular adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) on intracellular pH ([pH](i)) in cultured human non-pigmented ciliary body epithelium (HNPE). METHODS Intracellular pH was measured using spectrofluorescence video microscopy in isolated HNPE cells loaded with the cell-permeable acetoxymethyl ester form of the fluorescent probe BCECF. RESULTS In 5%CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) buffered Ringer's the resting [pH](i) was 7.25 +/- 0.006 (mean +/- SEM). Application of 10 microM ATP significantly decreased [pH](i) to 7.00 +/- 0.007 (P < 10(-5), n = 14). In the presence of 1 mM suramin, a P(2) receptor inhibitor, this process was significantly blocked. This [pH](i) effect required the presence of Cl(-) and was significantly inhibited by 0.1 mM diisothiocyanatostilbene-2-2'-disulfonic acid or acetazolamide (500 microM), indicating the involvement of a Cl(-)/HCO(3)( +) exchange mechanism. This response exhibited little dependence on external Na(+) and remained unaffected by the addition of the Na(+)/H( +) exchanger inhibitor amiloride (1 mM). Clamping intracellular calcium levels by incubation in the cell permeable calcium chelator, the acetoxymethyl ester form of BAPTA (100 microM) in low extracellular calcium solution (pCa9) did not affect the ATP-induced [pH](i) signal. In addition, the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) inhibitor, bafilomycin A(1) (1 microM), failed to alter the [pH](i) transient. CONCLUSION We have demonstrated that extracellular ATP leads to a sustained increase in [H(+)](i) in HNPE cells via a purinergic receptor activated pathway which is independent of the intracellular calcium signaling system. This study demonstrates that the ATP induced [pH]( i) transient is mediated through an upregulation in Cl(-)/HCO( 3)(-) exchange across the plasmamembrane in HNPE cells.

Abstract
The presence of ATP and adenosine receptors and their role in controlling ciliary activity in oviductal ciliated cells was studied by measuring the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in oviductal tissue cultures. ATP, adenosine, and related compounds increased the CBF in a dose-dependent manner. We established that P2 receptors of subtype 2Y(2) and P1 receptors of subtype A(2a) mediated the responses to ATP and adenosine, respectively. We found evidence to suggest that stimulation of ciliary activity by ATP requires D-myo-inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] metabolism, intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, and protein kinase C activation. On the other hand, the adenosine effect is mediated by activation of a G(s) protein-dependent pathway that enhances cAMP intracellular levels. To study the interaction between P2 and P1 receptors, cells were stimulated simultaneously with both agonists. We observed a synergistic increase of the CBF even at agonist concentrations (100 nM) that did not produce a significant response when added separately to the culture. Furthermore, a blocker of the cAMP pathway produced a reduction of the ATP response, whereas a blocker of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) pathway also produced an inhibition of the adenosine response. Our evidence demonstrates that both ATP and adenosine receptors are present in a single ciliated cell and that a mechanism of cross talk could operate in the transduction pathways to control ciliary activity.

Abstract
The supernatant from a suspension of Ehrlich cells exposed to centrifugation at 700xg for 45 s induced a transient increase in the intracellular concentration of free, cytosolic Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, as well as activation of an outwardly rectifying whole-cell current when added to a suspension of non-stimulated cells. These effects were inhibited by suramin, a non-specific P2 receptor antagonist, and mimicked by ATP. Reversed phase HPLC analysis revealed that the supernatant from Ehrlich cells exposed to centrifugation contained 2. 6+/-0.2 microM ATP, and that the mechanical stress-induced release of ATP was inhibited by glibenclamide and verapamil, non-specific inhibitors of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and P-glycoprotein, respectively. After trypan blue staining, less than 0.5% of the cells were unable to extrude the dye. Addition of extracellular ATP induced a suramin-sensitive, transient, concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i, activation of an outwardly rectifying whole-cell current and a hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane. The ATP-induced hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane was strongly inhibited in the presence of charybdotoxin (ChTX), an inhibitor of several Ca2+-activated K+ channels, suggesting that stimulation of P2 receptors in Ehrlich cells evokes a Ca2+-activated K+ current. The relative potencies of several nucleotides (ATP, UTP, ADP, 2-MeSATP, alpha,beta-MeATP, bzATP) in eliciting an increase in [Ca2+]i, as well as the effect of repetitive addition of nucleotides were investigated. The results lead us to conclude that mechanical stimulation of Ehrlich cells leads to release of ATP, which in turn stimulates both P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors, resulting in Ca2+ influx as well as release and activation of an outwardly rectifying whole-cell current.
