Abstract
As an important characteristic of tumor, acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to immune escape, invasion, migration and drug resistance of tumor. The acidity of the TME mainly comes from the acidic products produced by the high level of tumor metabolism, such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide. pH regulators such as monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), and Na+/H+ exchange 1 (NHE1) expel protons directly or indirectly from the tumor to maintain the pH balance of tumor cells and create an acidic TME. We review the functions of several pH regulators involved in the construction of acidic TME, the structure and structure-activity relationship of pH regulator inhibitors, and provide strategies for the development of small-molecule antitumor inhibitors based on these targets.

Abstract
Mammalian Na⁺/H⁺ exchangers of the SLC9A family are widely expressed and involved in numerous essential physiological processes. Their primary function is to mediate the 1:1 exchange of Na⁺ for H⁺ across the membrane in which they reside, and they play central roles in regulation of body, cellular, and organellar pH. Their function is tightly regulated through mechanisms involving interactions with multiple protein and lipid-binding partners, phosphorylations, and other posttranslational modifications. Biochemical and mutational analyses indicate that the SLC9As have a short intracellular N-terminus, 12 transmembrane (TM) helices necessary and sufficient for ion transport, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail region with essential regulatory roles. No high-resolution structures of the SLC9As exist; however, models based on crystal structures of the bacterial NhaAs support the 12 TM organization and suggest that TMIV and XI may form a central part of the ion-translocation pathway, whereas pH sensing may involve TMII, TMIX, and several intracellular loops. Similar to most ion transporters studied, SLC9As likely exist as coupled dimers in the membrane, and this appears to be important for the well-studied cooperativity of H⁺ binding. The aim of this work is to summarize and critically discuss the currently available evidence on the structural dynamics, regulation, and binding partner interactions of SLC9As, focusing in particular on the most widely studied isoform, SLC9A1/NHE1. Further, novel bioinformatic and structural analyses are provided that to some extent challenge the existing paradigm on how ions are transported by mammalian SLC9As.

Abstract
In fibroblasts, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) is upregulated during growth arrest and compartmentalized to the primary cilium. PDGF-AA mediated activation of the dimerized ciliary receptor produces a phosphorylation cascade through the PI3K-AKT and MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathways leading to the activation of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, NHE1, cytoplasmic alkalinization and actin nucleation at the lamellipodium that supports directional cell migration. We here show that AKT and MEK1/2-ERK1/2-p90(RSK) inhibition reduced PDGF-AA-induced cell migration by distinct mechanisms: AKT inhibition reduced NHE1 activity by blocking the translocation of NHE1 to the cell membrane. MEK1/2 inhibition did not affect NHE1 activity but influenced NHE1 localization, causing NHE1 to localize discontinuously in patches along the plasma membrane, rather than preferentially at the lamellipodium. We also provide direct evidence of NHE1 translocation through the cytoplasm to the leading edge. In conclusion, signals initiated at the primary cilium through the PDGFRαα cascade reorganize the cytoskeleton to regulate cell migration differentially through the AKT and the MEK1/2-ERK1/2-p90(RSK) pathways. The AKT pathway is necessary for initiation of NHE1 translocation, presumably in vesicles, to the leading edge and for its activation. In contrast, the MEK1/2-ERK1/2-p90(RSK) pathway controls the spatial organization of NHE1 translocation and incorporation, and therefore specifies the direction of the leading edge formation.

Abstract
Microdomains, regions of discontinuous cytosolic solute concentration enhanced by rapid solute transport and slow diffusion rates, have many cellular roles. pH-regulatory membrane transporters, like the Cl−/HCO3− exchanger AE1, could develop H+ microdomains since AE1 has a rapid transport rate and cytosolic H+ diffusion is slow. We examined whether the pH environment surrounding AE1 differs from other cellular locations. As AE1 drives Cl−/HCO3− exchange, differences in pH, near and remote from AE1, were monitored by confocal microscopy using two pH-sensitive fluorescent proteins: deGFP4 (GFP) and mNectarine (mNect). Plasma membrane (PM) pH (defined as ∼1 μm region around the cell periphery) was monitored by GFP fused to AE1 (GFP.AE1), and mNect fused to an inactive mutant of the Na+-coupled nucleoside co-transporter, hCNT3 (mNect.hCNT3). GFP.AE1 to mNect.hCNT3 distance was varied by co-expression of different amounts of the two proteins in HEK293 cells. As the GFP.AE1–mNect.hCNT3 distance increased, mNect.hCNT3 detected the Cl−/HCO3− exchange-associated cytosolic pH change with a time delay and reduced rate of pH change compared to GFP.AE1. We found that a H+ microdomain 0.3 μm in diameter forms around GFP.AE1 during physiological HCO3− transport. Carbonic anhydrase isoform II inhibition prevented H+ microdomain formation. We also measured the rate of H+ movement from PM GFP.AE1 to endoplasmic reticulum (ER), using mNect fused to the cytosolic face of ER-resident calnexin (CNX.mNect). The rate of H+ diffusion through cytosol was 60-fold faster than along the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane. The pH environment surrounding pH regulatory transport proteins may differ as a result of H+ microdomain formation, which will affect nearby pH-sensitive processes.

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
We describe the steady-state function of the ubiquitous mammalian Na/H exchanger (NHE)1 isoform in voltage-clamped Chinese hamster ovary cells, as well as other cells, using oscillating pH-sensitive microelectrodes to quantify proton fluxes via extracellular pH gradients. Giant excised patches could not be used as gigaseal formation disrupts NHE activity within the patch. We first analyzed forward transport at an extracellular pH of 8.2 with no cytoplasmic Na (i.e., nearly zero-trans). The extracellular Na concentration dependence is sigmoidal at a cytoplasmic pH of 6.8 with a Hill coefficient of 1.8. In contrast, at a cytoplasmic pH of 6.0, the Hill coefficient is <1, and Na dependence often appears biphasic. Results are similar for mouse skin fibroblasts and for an opossum kidney cell line that expresses the NHE3 isoform, whereas NHE1−/− skin fibroblasts generate no proton fluxes in equivalent experiments. As proton flux is decreased by increasing cytoplasmic pH, the half-maximal concentration (K1/2) of extracellular Na decreases less than expected for simple consecutive ion exchange models. The K1/2 for cytoplasmic protons decreases with increasing extracellular Na, opposite to predictions of consecutive exchange models. For reverse transport, which is robust at a cytoplasmic pH of 7.6, the K1/2 for extracellular protons decreases only a factor of 0.4 when maximal activity is decreased fivefold by reducing cytoplasmic Na. With 140 mM of extracellular Na and no cytoplasmic Na, the K1/2 for cytoplasmic protons is 50 nM (pH 7.3; Hill coefficient, 1.5), and activity decreases only 25% with extracellular acidification from 8.5 to 7.2. Most data can be reconstructed with two very different coupled dimer models. In one model, monomers operate independently at low cytoplasmic pH but couple to translocate two ions in “parallel” at alkaline pH. In the second “serial” model, each monomer transports two ions, and translocation by one monomer allosterically promotes translocation by the paired monomer in opposite direction. We conclude that a large fraction of mammalian Na/H activity may occur with a 2Na/2H stoichiometry.

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
BACKGROUND Gallbladder Na+ and H2O absorption are increased prior to gallstone formation and may promote cholesterol nucleation. Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) isoforms NHE2 and NHE3 are involved in gallbladder Na+ transport in prairie dogs. We examined whether increased gallbladder Na+ absorption observed during early gallstone formation is the result of NHE up-regulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Native gallbladder and primary cultures of gallbladder epithelial cells (GBECs) harvested from prairie dogs fed nonlithogenic (CON) or 1.2% cholesterol diet for varying lengths of time to induce cholesterol-saturated bile (PreCRYS), cholesterol crystals (CRYS), or gallstones (GS) were used. NHE activity was assessed by measuring dimethylamiloride-inhibitable 22Na+ uptake under H+ gradient in primary GBECs. HOE-694 was used to determine NHE2 and NHE3 contributions. NHE protein and mRNA expression were examined by Western and Northern blots, respectively. RESULTS Gallbladder total NHE activity was 25.1 +/- 1.3 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1) in the control and increased during gallstone formation peaking at the PreCRYS stage (98.4 +/- 3.9 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1)). There was a shift in NHE activity from NHE2 to NHE3 as the animals progressed from no stones through the PreCRYS and CRYS stages to gallstones. The increase in NHE activity was partly caused by an increased Vmax without any change in K(Na)m. Both NHE2 and NHE3 protein increased moderately during the PreCRYS stage without increases in mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS Increased gallbladder Na+ absorption observed prior to crystal formation is in part caused by an increase NHE activity which is not fully accounted for by an increase in NHE proteins and mRNA levels but may be explained by enhanced localization in the membranes and/or altered regulation of NHE.

Abstract
Role of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) upon immune modulation was studied by either mechanically destroying the PVH (PVHL) or by isolating the PVH (PVHI) with a knife-cut. PVHL or PVHI manipulations induced significant leukopenia characterized by a decrease in the number of neutrophils and lymphocytes two weeks post surgery. The numbers of circulating monocytes and eosinophils were not affected by PVH interventions. In addition, PVHL and PVHI were also associated with a reduction, relative to controls, in the phagocytosis by neutrophils and an increase in blastic transformation of T lymphocytes induced by phytohemagglutinin-M (PHA-M). Antibody titers rose against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) after either PVHL or PVHI were reduced. The magnitude of the SRBC antibody reduction after PVH manipulations was similar to that observed in rats that received a peripheral chemical sympathectomy two hrs prior immunization. Comparison of thyroid hormones blood levels two weeks after PVHL or PVHI revealed significant reductions in comparison with sham-operated group (SO), whereas blood corticosterone was not significantly altered. In summary, we provide evidence that lesion or isolation of the PVH selectively reduces circulating white blood cells and the primary immune response, while it enhances the cell-mediated immune function. Taken together our data showed that PVH modulates immune functions by altering both the peripheral sympathetic tone and thyroid hormone secretion.

Abstract
Monensin, a Na+ ionophore, regulates many cellular functions, including apoptosis. We investigated the in vitro antiproliferative effect of monensin on nine human lymphoma cell lines. Monensin significantly inhibited the proliferation of all the lymphoma cell lines examined with a 50% inhibition concentration of about 0.5 micromol/l, and induced a G1 and/or a G2-M phase arrest in these cell lines. To address the antiproliferative mechanism of monensin, we examined the effect of this drug on cell-cycle-related proteins in CA46 cells (both G1 and G2 arrest) and Molt-4 cells (G2 arrest). Treatment with monensin for 72 h decreased CDK4 and cyclin A levels in CA46 cells, and cdc2 levels in Molt-4 cells. In monensin-treated CA46 cells, increased p21-CDK2, p27-CDK2 and p27-CDK4 complex forms were observed. And, in monensin-treated Molt-4 cells, increased p21-cdc2 complex form was detected. Furthermore, the activities of CDK2- and CDK4-associated kinases were reduced in association with Rb hypophosphorylation in monensin-treated CA46 cells. The activity of cdc2-associated kinase was decreased in both cell lines, which was accompanied by induction of Wee1. Also, monensin induced apoptosis in these cell lines, as evidenced by annexin V binding assay and flow cytometric detection of sub-G1 DNA content. This apoptotic process was associated with loss of mitochondria transmembrane potential (Delta(psi)m). Taken together, these results demonstrated for the first time that monensin potently inhibits the proliferation of human lymphoma cell lines via cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Abstract
Monensin, an Na(+) ionophore, regulates many cellular functions including apoptosis. However, there has been no report about the antitumoral effect of monensin on acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Here, we investigated the antiproliferative effect of monensin on AML cells in vitro and in vivo. Monensin efficiently inhibited the proliferation of all of 10 AML cell lines, with IC(50) of about 0.5 microM. DNA flow cytometric analysis indicated that monensin induced a G(1) and/or a G(2)-M phase arrest in these cell lines. To address the mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of monensin, we examined the effect of monensin on cell cycle-related proteins in HL-60 cells. The levels of CDK6, cyclin D1 and cyclin A were decreased. In addition, monensin not only increased the p27 level but also enhanced its binding with CDK2. Furthermore, the activities of CDK2- and CDK6-associated kinases reduced by monensin were associated with hypophosphorylation of Rb protein. Monensin also induced apoptosis in AML cells including HL-60 cells. The apoptotic process of HL-60 cells was associated with changes in Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8 and mitochondria transmembrane potential (Deltapsi(m)). In particular, monensin (i.p. at a dose of 8 mg/kg thrice weekly) significantly reduced the tumor size of BALB/c mice that were inoculated s.c. with its derived cell line, WEHI-3BD cells (69% growth inhibition relative to control group; p < 0.05). Tumors from monensin-treated mice exhibited increased apoptosis, and these tumor were immunohistochemically more stained with Bax, Fas and p53 antibodies than control tumors. In conclusion, this is the first report that monensin potently inhibits the proliferation of AML cells.

Abstract
Although the precise mechanisms have yet to be elucidated, early events in osmotic signal transduction may involve the clustering of cell surface receptors, initiating downstream signaling events such as assembly of focal adhesion complexes, and activation of, e.g. Rho family GTPases, phospholipases, lipid kinases, and tyrosine- and serine/threonine protein kinases. In the present paper, we briefly review recent evidence regarding the possible relation between such signaling events, the F-actin cytoskeleton, and volume-regulatory membrane transporters, focusing primarily on our own work in Ehrlich ascites tumer cells (EATC). In EATC, cell shrinkage is associated with an increase, and cell swelling with a decrease in F-actin content, respectively. The role of the F-actin cytoskeleton in cell volume regulation in various cell types has largely been investigated using cytochalasins to disrupt F-actin and highly varying effects have been reported. Findings in EATC show that the effect of cytochalasin treatment cannot always be assumed to be F-actin depolymerization, and that, moreover, there is no well-defined correlation between effects of cytochalasins on F-actin content and their effects on F-actin organization and cell morphology. At a concentration verified to depolymerize F-actin, cytochalasin B (CB), but not cytochalasin D (CD), inhibited the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) and regulatory volume increase (RVI) processes in EATC. This suggests that the effect of CB is related to an effect other than F-actin depolymerization, possibly its F-actin severing activity.

Abstract
NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 are well-characterized cloned members of the mammalian Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) gene family. Given the specialized function and regulation of NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3, we compared basal turnover numbers of NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 measured in the same cell system: PS120 fibroblasts lacking endogenous NHEs. NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 were epitope tagged with vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG). The following characteristics were determined on the same passage of cells transfected with NHE1V, NHE2V, or NHE3V: 1) maximal reaction velocity (V(max)) by (22)Na(+) uptake and fluorometery, 2) total amount of NHE protein by quantitative Western analysis with internal standards of VSVG-tagged maltose-binding protein, and 3) cell surface expression by cell surface biotinylation. Cell surface expression (percentage of total NHE) was 88.8 +/- 3.5, 64.6 +/- 3.3, 20.0 +/- 2.6, and 14.0 +/- 1.3 for NHE1V, 85- and 75-kDa NHE2V, and NHE3V, respectively. Despite these divergent cell surface expression levels, turnover numbers for NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 were similar (80.3 +/- 9.6, 92.1 +/- 8.6, and 99.2 +/- 9.1 s(-1), when V(max) was determined using (22)Na uptake at 22 degrees C and 742 +/- 47, 459 +/- 16, and 609 +/- 39 s(-1) when V(max) was determined using fluorometry at 37 degrees C). These data indicate that, in the same cell system, intrinsic properties that determine turnover number are conserved among NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3.

Abstract
1. Pancreatic HCO3- and fluid secretion were studied by monitoring luminal pH (pHL) and luminal volume simultaneously in interlobular duct segments isolated from guinea-pig pancreas. The secretory rate and HCO3- flux were estimated from fluorescence images obtained following microinjection of BCECF-dextran (70 kDa, 20 microM) into the duct lumen. 2. Ducts filled initially with a Cl--rich solution swelled steadily (2.0 nl min-1 mm-2) when HCO3-/CO2 was introduced, and the luminal pH increased to 8.08. When Cl- was replaced by glucuronate, spontaneous fluid secretion was reduced by 75 %, and pHL did not rise above 7.3. 3. Cl--dependent spontaneous secretion was largely blocked by luminal H2DIDS (500 microM). We conclude that, in unstimulated ducts, HCO3- transport across the luminal membrane is probably mediated by Cl--HCO3- exchange. 4. Secretin (10 nM) and forskolin (1 microM) both stimulated HCO3- and fluid secretion. The final value of pHL (8.4) and the increase in secretory rate (1.5 nl min-1 mm-2) after secretin stimulation were unaffected by substitution of Cl-. 5. The Cl--independent component of secretin-evoked secretion was not affected by luminal H2DIDS. This suggests that a Cl--independent mechanism provides the main pathway for luminal HCO3- transport in secretin-stimulated ducts. 6. Ducts filled initially with a HCO3--rich fluid (125 mM HCO3-, 23 mM Cl-) secreted a Cl--rich fluid while unstimulated. This became HCO3--rich when secretin was applied. 7. Addition of H2DIDS and MIA (10 microM) to the bath reduced the secretory rate by 56 and 18 %, respectively. Applied together they completely blocked fluid secretion. We conclude that basolateral HCO3- transport is mediated mainly by Na+-HCO3- cotransport rather than by Na+-H+ exchange.

Abstract
We report the initial characterization of [3H]5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl)amiloride (MIA) binding to the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) and expression of its gene in mammalian cerebrovascular, choroidal and neocortical tissues. [3H]MIA bound reversibly to particulate fractions of rat, pig and human cerebral microvessels, choroid plexus and cerebral cortex. Scatchard analyses revealed binding to a single amiloride-sensitive site with dissociation constants (Kd) ranging from 20 to 90 nM for the various tissue preparations. The maximal binding capacities (Bmax) were between 2 to 17 pmol/mg protein and were several-fold greater in cerebral microvessels compared to the cerebral cortex. Amiloride, MIA, 5-(N, N-hexamethylene)amiloride (HMA), 5-(N, N-dimethyl)amiloride (DMA) and 5-(N-methyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (IPA) variably displaced [3H]MIA binding to the microvessels in the following rank order: MIA>HMA>/=IPA>DMA>amiloride. Benzamil, a potent ligand of the Na+/Ca+ transporter was the least sensitive. These binding results were most compatible with the existence of the amiloride-sensitive NHE type 1 in the brain vascular and choroidal tissues. To substantiate this, we utilized reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques to search for NHE-1 mRNA. Using primers corresponding to conserved sequences of the human growth factor-activatable NHE gene, RT-PCR revealed strong expression of NHE-1 mRNA in cerebral microvessels, choroid plexus, pial vessels and vascular smooth muscle cells relative to neocortical tissues from several species including rat, pig, cow, monkey and human subjects. Further confirmation of NHE-1 isoform mRNA expression in the cerebrovascular tissues was obtained by HpaII restriction digestion analysis and by subcloning and sequencing of the PCR amplified products. Our study suggests that mammalian cerebrovascular and choroidal tissues contain high amounts of the ubiquitous amiloride-sensitive [3H]MIA binding proteins consistent with the expression of NHE type 1 mRNA.

Abstract
Intestinal neutral NaCl absorption, which is made up of brush-border (BB) Na+/H+ exchange linked to BB Cl-/HCO3- exchange, is up- and downregulated as part of digestion and diarrheal diseases. Glucocorticoids stimulate ileal NaCl absorption and BB Na+/H+ exchange. Intestinal BB contains two Na+/H+ exchanger isoforms, NHE2 and NHE3, but their relative roles in rabbit ileal BB Na+/H+ exchange has not been determined. A technique to separate the contribution of NHE2 and NHE3 to ileal BB Na+/H+ exchange activity was standardized by using an amiloride-related compound, HOE-694. Under basal conditions, both NHE2 and NHE3 contribute approximately 50% to ileal Na+/H+ exchange. Glucocorticoids (methylprednisolone) increase BB Na+/H+ exchange (2.5 times) but increase only ileal NHE3 activity (4.1 times), without an effect on NHE2 activity. Thus ileal BB Na+/H+ exchange in animals treated with glucocorticoids is 69% via NHE3. A quantitative Western analysis for NHE3 was developed, using as an internal standard a fusion protein of the COOH-terminal 85 amino acids of NHE3 and maltose binding protein. Glucocorticoid treatment increased the amount of BB NHE3. The quantitative Western analysis showed that NHE3 makes up 0.018% of ileal BB protein in control rabbits and 0.042% (2.3 times as much) in methylprednisolone-treated rabbits. Methylprednisolone treatment did not alter the amount of ileal BB NHE2 protein. NHE3 turnover number was estimated to be 458 cycles/s under basal conditions and 708 cycles/s in glucocorticoid-treated ileum. Thus methylprednisolone stimulates ileal BB Na+/H+ exchange activity only by an effect on NHE3 and not on NHE2; it does so primarily by increasing the amount of BB NHE3, although it also increases the NHE3 turnover number.

Abstract
The proliferative response of human lymphocytes to stimuli such as foreign histocompatibility antigens or mitogens is generally assessed by measuring the amount of tritiated thymidine which the cells incorporated in culture. In this paper, the possibility of assessing lymphocyte proliferation and viability by an empirical assay, using measurement of light absorbance on a ELISA reader in the yellow wave length (450 nm/air-550 nm/air), has been studied. The correlation of these measurements with a colormetric viability assay using MTS/PMS, with tritiated thymidine incorporation and with trypan blue exclusion viability counting, was determined. The results showed that the light absorbance assay correlated well with cell proliferation during 48-120 hours culture period and with cell viability after a 72 hour period. The MTS/PMS colormetric assay as well as trypan blue exclusion cell counting confirmed that the light absorbance assay was not merely caused by dead cells. This data confirm that the light absorbance assay is sufficiently sensitive to low levels of proliferation to allow detection of such responses at least as effectively as thymidine incorporation. The light absorbance assay procedure avoids the expense, time and hazards associated with scintillation counting, and is simple to perform without the necessity for reagents and preparative steps required by other assays.

Abstract
Prior studies show that ileal HCO3- secretion is of crypt origin, possibly involving Na+-HCO3- cotransport. To test for the latter, we isolated crypt cells from guinea pig ileum and determined effects of medium HCO3-, Na+, K+, disulfonic stilbenes, and gramicidin on intracellular pH [pHi;2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein fluorescence], cell volume (electronic sizing), and Na+ efflux from 22Na+ -preloaded cells. Ileal crypt cells alkalinized when placed in sodium gluconate-HCO3- medium containing N-5-methyl-5-isobutyl amiloride (1 microM), bumetanide (10 microM) and 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (250 microM which blocks Cl-/HCO3- exchange but not Na+ dependent HCO3- uptake). Depolarization with either gramicidin (50 microM) or 50 mM K+ caused a further 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS)-inhibitable increase in pHi. Gramicidin also caused SITS-inhibitable cell swelling. Both gramicidin effects were Na+ dependent: at 0 mM Na+, gramicidin acidified and did not alter cell volume; at 25 mM, gramicidin also acidified; at 90 and 140 mM, gramicidin alkalinized and induced cell swelling. HCO3- -dependent SITS-inhibitable Na+ efflux from 22Na+ -preloaded cells was also seen. We conclude that ileal crypt cells engage in electrogenic Na+ -HCO3- symport.

Abstract
The turnover number for the sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1) has been determined in human lymphocytes and MRC5 fibroblasts and in their virally transformed counterparts. Using fluorometric methods, we have determined the intracellular pH and Na+/H+ antiport activity of these cells. Intracellular pH was elevated in both lines of transformed cells. In contrast, Na+/H+ antiport activity was apparently unchanged in simian virus 40-transformed MRC5 fibroblasts (MRC5 SV1 TV1 28.9 +/- 5.2 mM/min compared with MRC5 fibroblasts 26.5 +/- 5.3 mM/min) but slightly increased in Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblasts (16.7 +/- 1.0 mM/min compared with lymphocytes 13.5 +/- 2.3 mM/min, P < 0.05). With the use of specific antisera to NHE-1, viral transformation was associated with a decreased number of NHE-1 molecules per cell in fibroblasts (from 441,504 +/- 53,428 to 64,745 +/- 7,151 sites/cell, P < 0.001) but an increased number in lymphocytes (from 14,066 +/- 3,100 to 22,474 +/- 4,050 sites/cell, P < 0.01). The NHE-1 density per cell yielded very similar turnover numbers for NHE-1 in the untransformed cells (lymphocytes, 3,161 +/- 833 cycles/s; MRC5 fibroblasts, 3,026 +/- 441 cycles/s), which were significantly elevated in the transformed cells (lymphoblasts, 8,471 +/- 1,177 cycles/s; MRC5 SV1 TV1, 10,521 +/- 2,299 cycles/s, P < 0.001 compared with untransformed cells). We conclude that viral transformation has different effects on Na+/H+ antiport activity and NHE-1 density per cell in different cell types, but the turnover number of NHE-1 is significantly increased after viral transformation, which correlates with the increased proliferation rate of these transformed cells.

Abstract
The presumptive Na(+)/H(+) exchange sites of trout and eel erythrocytes were quantified using amiloride-displaceable 5-(N-methyl-N-[(3)H]isobutyl)-amiloride ((3)H-MIA) equilibrium binding to further evaluate the mechanisms of i) hypoxia-mediated modifications in the trout erythrocyte β-adrenergic signal transduction system and ii) the marked differences in the catecholamine responsiveness of this system between the trout and eel. MIA was a more potent inhibitor of both trout apparent erythrocyte proton extrusion (IC50 = 20.1 ± 1.1 μmol l(-1), N = 6) activity (as evaluated by measuring plasma pH changes after addition of catecholamine in vitro) and specific (3)H-MIA binding (IC50 = 257 ± 8.2 nmol l(-1), N = 3) than amiloride, which possessed a proton extrusion IC50 of 26.1 ± 1.6 μmol l(-1) (N = 6) and a binding IC50 of 891 ± 113 nmol l(-1) (N = 3). The specific Na(+) channel blocker phenamil was without effect on adrenergic proton extrusion activity or specific (3)H-MIA binding. Trout erythrocytes suspended in Na(+)-free saline and maintained under normoxic conditions possessed 37,675 ± 6,678 (N = 6) amiloride-displaceable (3)H-MIA binding sites per cell (Bmax, presumptive Na(+)/H(+) antiporters) with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 244 ± 29 nmol l(-1) (N = 6). Acute hypoxia (PO2 = 1.2 kPa; 30 min) did not affect the KD, yet resulted in a 65% increase in the number of presumptive Na(+)/H(+) antiporters. Normoxic eel erythrocytes, similarly suspended in Na(+)-free saline, possessed only 17,133 ± 3,716 presumptive Na(+)/H(+) antiporters (N = 6), 45% of that of trout erythrocytes, with a similar KD (246 ± 41 nmol l(-1), N = 6). These findings suggest that inter- and intra-specific differences in the responsiveness of the teleost erythrocyte β-adrenergic signal transduction system can be explained, in part, by differences in the numbers of Na(+)/H(+) exchange sites.

Abstract
Na(+)-H+ exchange activity was studied in a human breast cancer cell line. At steady state, the intracellular pH (pHi) of the cells was 7.23 +/- 0.01, and intracellular buffering capacity (beta i) was 44 +/- 4 mM/pH unit. pHi was controlled by a Na(+)-H+ antiporter that was reversible, electroneutral, inhibited by 5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl)amiloride, and dependent on extracellular Na+. The exchanger function depended on internal H+ concentration, according to an allosteric activation mechanism obeying the model of Hill. The exchanger was inactive at pHi > or = 7.22, and its maximal activity was reached at pHi < 6.60. The exchanger was stimulated by osmotic shrinking but was unaffected by growth factors (epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor I) or by serum. When cells were grown in a medium supplemented with linoleic or alpha-linolenic acids, large quantities of the additional fatty acid accumulated in membranes, saturated fatty acids increased, and monounsaturated fatty acids decreased. These changes reduced cell proliferation but had no effect on the steady-state value of pHi, on beta i, or on the kinetic parameters of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger. Therefore, in this system, cell proliferation is not directly related to the activation of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger.

Abstract
Amiloride analogues with N5-alkyl substitutions are specific high-affinity ligands for the Na(+)-H+ exchanger in various tissues. As a means to characterize the Na(+)-H+ exchanger in the bovine corneal epithelium, we determined the binding properties of [3H] methylisobutylamiloride (MIA) to a fraction enriched in plasma membrane from this tissue. [3H]MIA bound to these membranes in a time, -a temperature-, and -a pH-dependent manner. The binding was optimal at 4 degrees C and at pH 8.5 and it reached equilibrium at 60 min. Under these conditions, specific binding, which was inhibitable by excess unlabeled MIA, was about 85%. Scatchard analysis of this specific binding revealed a single saturable binding component with a Kd of 61 nM and a Bmax of 271 pmoles/mg protein. Inhibition of [3H]MIA specific binding by amiloride analogues showed the following order of potency: MIA > dimethylamiloride (DMA) > benzamil > amiloride. Na+ did not compete with MIA for binding. The effectiveness of clonidine, an alpha 2 agonist, and cimetidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, as inhibitors of Na(+)-H+ exchange activity was also determined because these compounds are used to distinguish between the exchanger subtypes. At concentrations higher than those needed for receptor interaction, clonidine was more effective than cimetidine in decreasing MIA binding. The activity of Na(+)-H+ exchanger, which was measured as the uptake of 22Na+ in the presence of an outwardly directly H+ gradient, was also inhibited by DMA, benzamil and amiloride with the same order of potency as obtained in the binding studies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. Na/H exchange is the major pathway for Na uptake in brush border membrane vesicles from chicken small intestine. Hanes-Woolf analysis demonstrated that Na and H competed at the same extravesicular site. The KNa for Na+ at extravesicular pH 6.6 is 35 mM and at pH 7.4, 12 mM. 2. Similar to mammalian intestinal cells, the Na/H exchanger does not appear to have an internal proton modifier site. Varying intravesicular pH from 6.1 to 7.8 stimulates uptake, but a sigmoidal relationship is not observed. 3. The ability of several amiloride analogs to inhibit the exchanger was tested and the inhibitory profile was similar, but not identical to Na/H exchangers in mammalian tissues. The potency series (from most to least potent) is hexamethylamiloride approximately ethylisopropylamiloride > methylisobutylamiloride > dimethylamiloride >> amiloride.

Abstract
Phorbol esters, specific activators of protein kinase C, inhibit amiloride-sensitive Na uptake from the mucosal medium in intact intestinal mucosa as well as in isolated chicken villus enterocytes. In isolated cells, maximal inhibition is observed at 60 s, and influx returns to control values within 15 min. This effect can be measured either as initial 22Na influx rates or by following changes in intracellular pH using the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 5,6-carboxyfluorescein. The effects of amiloride and phorbol esters were not additive, suggesting inhibition of a common transport system, i.e., Na-H exchange. In brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) made from villus enterocytes, amiloride-sensitive Na-H exchange activity was significantly inhibited in phorbol ester-treated cells. The degree of inhibition of 22Na uptake by BBMV had the same time course and dose-effect relationship as phorbol ester-inhibited cellular Na uptake. Similarly, the time course of protein kinase C translocation from cytosol to particulate or brush-border membrane fractions correlated with Na uptake measurements made in whole cells and BBMV. These results suggest that protein kinase C activation in chicken villus enterocytes inhibits brush-border membrane Na-H exchange activity.

Abstract
We used the radiolabelled inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange 5-(N-methyl-N-[3H]isobutyl)amiloride ([3H]-MIA) for assessment of the amount of Na+/H+ exchanger in intact human blood platelets. The inhibition constant, KI, of unlabelled MIA toward the antiport was determined at 100 nM. Washed platelets were incubated for 5 s with different concentrations of [3H]-MIA in the presence or absence of an excess concentration of unlabelled amiloride (400 microM). The platelets were rapidly centrifuged and the radioactivity in the pellet was determined. Scatchard analysis revealed one single class of specific binding sites (KD = 63 nM) and a maximum binding capacity of 500 sites/cell. The turnover rate of the Na+/H(+)-exchanger in unstimulated platelets was estimated at 800/s at 25 degrees C.

Abstract
The present study was designed to examine the kinetics of Na(+)-H+ exchange in red blood cells of normotensive and hypertensive subjects and its relation to the previously reported abnormalities in Na(+)-Li+ exchange. The Na(+)-H+ antiporter activation kinetics were studied by varying cell pH and measuring net Na+ influx (mmol/l cell x hr = units) driven by an outward H+ gradient. The Na(+)-Li+ exchange was determined at pH 7.4 as sodium-stimulated Li+ efflux. Untreated hypertensive patients (n = 30) had a higher maximal rate of Na(+)-Li+ exchange (0.43 +/- 0.05 versus 0.26 +/- 0.02 units, p less than 0.0003), a higher maximal rate of Na(+)-H+ exchange (62.3 +/- 6.2 versus 47 +/- 4 units; p less than 0.02), but a similar affinity for cell pH compared with normotensive subjects (n = 46). The cell pH activation of the Na(+)-H+ antiporter exhibited a lower Hill coefficient than that of normotensive subjects (1.61 +/- 0.12 versus 2.56 +/- 0.14; p less than 0.0001). This index of occupancy of internal H+ regulatory sites was found reduced in most of the hypertensive patients (73%) whether their hypertension was untreated or treated. Hypertensive patients with Na(+)-Li+ exchange above 0.35 units (0.68 +/- 0.057 units, n = 16) did not exhibit elevated maximal rates of Na(+)-H+ exchange (57.3 +/- 10 units, NS) in comparison with those with Na(+)-Li+ exchange below 0.35 units (66.4 +/- 7.6 units, n = 26), but both groups exhibited reduced Hill coefficients. Hypertensive patients with enhanced Na(+)-H+ exchange activity (more than 90 units) had normal maximal rates of Na(+)-Li+ exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The kinetic properties of the Na+/H+ exchanger in human platelets were investigated by direct measurements of pHi as detected with the fluorescent dye, BCECF. In acid-loaded cells, the antiporter displayed a hyperbolic dependence regarding external Na+ with an apparent Km of 38 +/- 4 mM (pHo 7.2 at 25 degrees C) whereas its pHi-dependent activation between 7.3 to 6.4 did not obey a Michaelian model. External acidification from 7.7 to 6.5 decreased significantly the initial rate of Na(+)-dependent H+ efflux. The amiloride derivative, ethylisopropylamiloride blocked this exchanger and exerted a non-competitive inhibition with respect to Na+o (Ki = 17 nM). The cation selectivity of the external site of the antiporter was Na+ greater than Li+ greater than K+ and choline. These results indicate that the BCECF technique allows to evaluate the main features of the Na+/H+ exchanger in human platelets, which possesses kinetic properties similar to those reported in other cell types.

Abstract
Three different types of mitochondrial poisons (oligomycin, antimycin A, and dinitrophenol) strongly inhibited Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange in aortic myocytes. Exchange activity was assayed as 45Ca2+ uptake that depended on inverting the Na+ gradient and was inhibited by 25 microM dimethylbenzamil. Glucose markedly decreased the inhibition of exchange activity by these three poisons. Glucose also prevented rotenone from inhibiting exchange and depleting cellular ATP. In the absence of glucose, rotenone decreased ATP and exchange activity with half-times of 0.8 and 0.9 min, respectively. Almost eliminating cellular ATP with rotenone maximally inhibited exchange by 80%. Repletion of ATP with glucose substantially restored Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange activity. Ca2+ uptake by organelles, subsequent to entry via exchange for Na+, does not appear to contribute significantly to exchange activity as assayed in intact myocytes. The specific activity of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange was approximately 30 nmol.min-1.mg protein-1. These findings suggest that ATP modulates exchange activity and that there are approximately 150,000 Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers per cell, assuming that the turnover number is 1,000 s-1.

Abstract
The predisposition of black people to salt (NaCl)-sensitive essential hypertension may relate to racial differences in cellular Na+ metabolism. This tenet was investigated by examining the Na(+)-H+ antiport in serially passed skin fibroblasts from blacks and whites. Na(+)-dependent stimulation of the Na(+)-H+ antiport by cellular acidification resulted in a greater maximal velocity (Vmax) (mean +/- SEM) of this transport system in quiescent fibroblasts from blacks than fibroblasts from whites; the Vmax for recovery from cellular pH (pHi) of 6.6 was 5.84 +/- 0.50 versus 4.39 +/- 0.34 mmol H+/l X 20 seconds for blacks and whites, respectively (p less than 0.05). Although the Na+ concentration producing 50% stimulation of the Na(+)-H+ antiport for blacks (35.1 +/- 5.7 mM) was greater than for whites (24.1 +/- 3.5 mM), this difference was not statistically significant. No racial differences were observed in the Hill coefficient (n, 1.35 +/- 0.21 for blacks and 1.46 +/- 0.28 for whites). Compared with whites, cells from blacks exhibited a greater response to cytoplasmic acidification over the range of pHi values 6.20-6.60, as exhibited by an augmented rate of recovery in the pHi. These differences were not due to different basal pHi values or cellular buffering capacities, which were similar for blacks and whites. Na(+)-H+ antiport activity was not correlated with family history of hypertension. Increased activity of the Na(+)-H+ antiport in fibroblasts from blacks was confirmed without cellular acidification by stimulating quiescent cells with 10% human serum. This study demonstrates innate racial differences in cellular membrane Na(+)-H+ antiport activity.

Abstract
We have investigated the kinetic properties of the human red blood cell Na+/H+ exchanger to provide a tool to study the role of genetic, hormonal and environmental factors in its expression as well as its functional properties in several clinical conditions. The present study reports its stoichiometry and the kinetic effects of internal H+ (Hi) and external Na+ (Nao) in red blood cells of normal subjects. Red blood cells with different cell Na+ (Nai) and pH (pHi) were prepared by nystatin and DIDS treatment of acid-loaded cells. Unidirectional and net Na+ influx were measured by varying pHi (from 5.7 to 7.4), external pH (pHo), Nai and Nao and by incubating the cells in media containing ouabain, bumetanide and methazolamide. Net Na+ influx (Nai less than 2.0 mmol/liter cell, Nao = 150 mM) increased sigmoidally (Hill coefficient 2.5) when pHi fell below 7.0 and the external pHo was 8.0, but increased linearly at pHo 6.0. The net Na+ influx driven by an outward H+ gradient was estimated from the difference of Na+ influx at the two pHo levels (pHo 8 and pHo 6). The H+-driven Na+ influx reached saturation between pHi 5.9 and 6.1. The Vmax had a wide interindividual variation (6 to 63 mmol/liter cell.hr, 31.0 +/- 3, mean +/- SEM, n = 20). The Km for Hi to activate H+-driven Na+ influx was 347 +/- 30 nM (n = 7). Amiloride (1 mM) or DMA (20 microM) partially (59 +/- 10%) inhibited red cell Na+/H+ exchange. The stoichiometric ratio between H+-driven Na+ influx and Na+-driven H+ efflux was 1:1. The dependence of Na+ influx from Nao was studied at pHi 6.0, and Nai lower than 2 mmol/liter cell at pHo 6.0 and 8.0. The mean Km for Nao of the H+-gradient-driven Na+ influx was 55 +/- 7 mM. An increase in Nai from 2 to 20 mmol/liter cell did not change significantly H+-driven net Na+ influx as estimated from the difference between unidirectional 22Na influx and efflux. Na+/Na+ exchange was negligible in acid-loaded, DIDS-treated cells. Na+ and H+ efflux from acid-loaded cells were inhibited by amiloride analogs in the absence of external Na+ indicating that they may represent nonspecific effects of these compounds and/or uncoupled transport modes of the Na+/H+ exchanger. It is concluded that human red cell Na+/H+ exchange performs 1:1 exchange of external Na+ for internal protons, which is partially amiloride sensitive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
We measured the binding of [3H]-5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl) amiloride (MIA) to purified rabbit renal brush border membranes. MIA binding was protein, temperature and time dependent with optimal binding at pH 8.0 or above. At low pH MIA binding was inhibited, suggesting competition between H+ ions and MIA for the MIA binding site. There was 70-80% specific binding which reached a plateau at 30 min and remained stable thereafter for 150 min. Scatchard analysis revealed one family of binding sites with Bmax of 3.4 +/- 0.4 pmoles/mg protein and Kd of 30.5 +/- 2.3 nM. MIA inhibited the Vmax of the Na-H antiporter (assessed by acridine orange quenching) in a dose dependent fashion with 100% inhibition at MIA concentration of 10(-3) M and this inhibition was greater than that of amiloride. We conclude that MIA, a potent inhibitor of the Na-H antiporter, displays a high percentage of specific binding to renal brush border membranes and can be used to assess the number of the Na-H antiporters.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages regain their normal volume after swelling in hypo-osmotic solutions. This process, termed regulatory volume decrease (RVD), is initiated 3-5 minutes after exposure of cells to hypo-osmotic solutions, and by 30 min, near-normal volumes are attained. Volume decrease does not occur at 0 degrees C or in solutions in which Na+ has been replaced by K+, or Cl- by the impermeant anion gluconate. These results, as well as direct measurement of intracellular cations, indicate that decreases in cell volume result primarily from the loss of K+ and Cl- and are similar to RVD in lymphocytes. Kinetic analysis of cation loss, both by directly measuring changes in intracellular cation content and by assaying rubidium efflux, showed that cation loss occurred immediately upon media dilution. The rate of cation loss fit first-order kinetics and preceded both the initiation of volume decrease and the maximum increase in surface receptor number. These results suggest that the cation transporters responsible for RVD are located at the cell surface and that regulation of activity is not dependent on alterations in membrane movement.

Abstract
The kinetic properties and inhibitor sensitivity of the Na+-H+ exchange activity present in the inner membrane of rat heart and liver mitochondria were studied. (1) Na+-induced H+ efflux from mitochondria followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In heart mitochondria, the Km for Na+ was 24 +/- 4 mM and the Vmax was 4.5 +/- 1.4 nmol H+/mg protein per s (n = 6). Basically similar values were obtained in liver mitochondria (Km = 31 +/- 2 mM, Vmax = 5.3 +/- 0.2 nmol H+/mg protein per s, n = 4). (2) Li+ proved to be a substrate (Km = 5.9 mM, Vmax = 2.3 nmol H+/mg protein per s) and a potent competitive inhibitor with respect to Na+ (Ki approximately 0.7 mM). (3) External H+ inhibited the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange competitively. (4) Two benzamil derivatives of amiloride, 5-(N-4-chlorobenzyl)-N-(2',4'-dimethyl)benzamil and 3',5'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzamil were effective inhibitors of the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange (50% inhibition was attained by approx. 60 microM in the presence of 15 mM Na+). (5) Three 5-amino analogues of amiloride, which are very strong Na+-H+ exchange blockers on the plasma membrane, exerted only weak inhibitory activity on the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange. (6) The results indicate that the mitochondrial and the plasma membrane antiporters represent distinct molecular entities.

Abstract
Uptake studies with 22Na were performed in cultured bovine pigmented ciliary epithelial cells, in order to characterize mechanisms of Na+ transport. A large part of Na+ uptake was sensitive to amiloride, quinidine and harmaline. Na+ uptake was stimulated by intracellular acidification (using the NH+4 prepulse technique), and was inhibited with increasing extracellular proton concentration. Decreasing extracellular pH from 7.5 to 7.0 increased the apparent KM for Na+ from 38 to 86 mM without considerable changes in Vmax. In the presence of 5 mM Na+ half maximal inhibition of amiloride sensitive Na+ uptake by extracellular protons was observed at a hydrogen concentration of 50 nM. In the presence of 50 mM Na+ the proton concentration necessary for 50% inhibition was 139 nM. Thus, the mode of inhibition of extracellular H+ seemed to be competitive with a Ki of 20-40 nM. 10 microM amiloride increased the apparent KM for Na+ from 33 mM to 107 mM, while Vmax remained nearly unchanged. IC50 for amiloride was 6 microM at 5 mM Na+ and 36 microM in the presence of 150 mM Na+. Thus, amiloride behaves as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of about 5 microM. The affinities of Na+ to the transport site (KM approximately 16 mM), to the inhibitory site for protons (KM approximately 21 mM), and to the inhibitory site for amiloride (KM approximately 26 mM) were in the same order of magnitude. In summary, we have presented evidence for the presence of a Na+/H+ exchanger in cultured bovine pigmented ciliary epithelial cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Amiloride and certain of its derivatives are effective inhibitors of Na/H antiporters and of epithelial Na channels. We describe a simple method for the preparation of a variety of pharmacologically active 6-iodoamiloride derivatives that are labeled with 125I at high specific radioactivity. 6-Dechloroamiloride derivatives (bearing a hydrogen atom instead of the chlorine at the 6 position of the amiloride molecule) are reacted with 125ICl, prepared by the oxidation of the iodide in Na125I preparations. The 125I-labeled derivatives are separated from free 125I by anion exchange chromatography, or purified by thin layer chromatography. Both 6-dechloroamiloride and 5-(N-alkyl)-6-dechloroamiloride derivatives can be labeled by this method, with yields varying between 10 and 70%, depending on the ICl concentration and the structure of the 5-N-alkyl group. Efficient radiolabeling at high specific radioactivity also depends on the use of freshly prepared batches of 125I. Using carrier-free 125I, [125I]6-iodoamiloride and [125I]6-iodo-5-(N-tert-butyl)amiloride were prepared with yields of 27 and 22%, respectively. Potential applications of the 125I-labeled amiloride derivatives include ligand binding and affinity labeling experiments.
