J Membr Biol 2022; 256:125-135. [PMID: 36322172 PMCID: PMC10085862 DOI: 10.1007/s00232-022-00271-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) Cl-/H+ antiporters and leucine-rich repeat-containing 8 (LRRC8) family anion channels have both been associated with volume-regulated anion currents (VRACs). VRACs are often altered in ClC-3 null cells but are absent in LRRC8A null cells. To explore the relationship between ClC-3, LRRC8A, and VRAC we localized tagged proteins in human epithelial kidney (HEK293) cells using multimodal microscopy. Expression of ClC-3-GFP induced large multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with ClC-3 in the delimiting membrane. LRRC8A-RFP localized to the plasma membrane and to small cytoplasmic vesicles. Co-expression demonstrated co-localization in small, highly mobile cytoplasmic vesicles that associated with the early endosomal marker Rab5A. However, most of the small LRRC8A-positive vesicles were constrained within large MVBs with abundant ClC-3 in the delimiting membrane. Dominant negative (S34A) Rab5A prevented ClC-3 overexpression from creating enlarged MVBs, while constitutively active (Q79L) Rab5A enhanced this phenotype. Thus, ClC-3 and LRRC8A are endocytosed together but independently sorted in Rab5A MVBs. Subsequently, LRRC8A-labeled vesicles were sorted to MVBs labeled by Rab27A and B exosomal compartment markers, but not to Rab11 recycling endosomes. VRAC currents were significantly larger in ClC-3 null HEK293 cells. This work demonstrates dependence of LRRC8A trafficking on ClC-3 which may explain the association between ClC-3 and VRACs.

Abstract
The chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) protein is known to be a component of Cl− channels involved in cell volume regulation or acidification of intracellular vesicles. Here, we report that ClC-3 was highly expressed in the cytoplasm of metastatic carcinomatous cells and accelerated cell migration in vitro and tumor metastasis in vivo. High-grade expression of cytoplasmic ClC-3 predicted poor survival in cancer patients. We found that independent of its volume-activated Cl− channel properties, ClC-3 was able to promote cell membrane ruffling, required for tumor metastasis. ClC-3 mediated membrane ruffling by regulating keratin 18 phosphorylation to control β1 Integrin recycling. Therefore, cytoplasmic ClC-3 plays an active and key role in tumor metastasis and may be a valuable prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target to prevent tumor spread.

Chloride channels in stellate cells are essential for uniquely high secretion rates in neuropeptide-stimulated Drosophila diuresis. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2014; 111:14301-6.

Abstract
Epithelia frequently segregate transport processes to specific cell types, presumably for improved efficiency and control. The molecular players underlying this functional specialization are of particular interest. In Drosophila, the renal (Malpighian) tubule displays the highest per-cell transport rates known and has two main secretory cell types, principal and stellate. Electrogenic cation transport is known to reside in the principal cells, whereas stellate cells control the anion conductance, but by an as-yet-undefined route. Here, we resolve this issue by showing that a plasma membrane chloride channel, encoded by ClC-a, is exclusively expressed in the stellate cell and is required for Drosophila kinin-mediated induction of diuresis and chloride shunt conductance, evidenced by chloride ion movement through the stellate cells, leading to depolarization of the transepithelial potential. By contrast, ClC-a knockdown had no impact on resting secretion levels. Knockdown of a second CLC gene showing highly abundant expression in adult Malpighian tubules, ClC-c, did not impact depolarization of transepithelial potential after kinin stimulation. Therefore, the diuretic action of kinin in Drosophila can be explained by an increase in ClC-a-mediated chloride conductance, over and above a resting fluid transport level that relies on other (ClC-a-independent) mechanisms or routes. This key segregation of cation and anion transport could explain the extraordinary fluid transport rates displayed by some epithelia.

Abstract
Chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) is suggested to be a component and/or a regulator of the volume-activated Cl(-) channel in the plasma membrane. However, ClC-3 is predominantly located inside cells and the role of intracellular ClC-3 in tumor growth is unknown. In this study, we found that the subcellular distribution of endogenous ClC-3 varied in a cell cycle-dependent manner in HeLa cells. During interphase, ClC-3 was distributed throughout the cell and it accumulated at various positions in different stages. In early G1, ClC-3 was mainly located in the nucleus. In middle G1, ClC-3 gathered around the nuclear periphery as a ring. In late G1, ClC-3 moved back into the nucleus, where it remained throughout S phase. In G2, ClC-3 was concentrated in the cytoplasm. When cells progressed from G2 to the prophase of mitosis, ClC-3 from the cytoplasm translocated into the nucleus. During metaphase and anaphase, ClC-3 was distributed throughout the cell except for around the chromosomes and was aggregated at the spindle poles and in between two chromosomes, respectively. ClC-3 was then again concentrated in the nucleus upon the progression from telophase to cytokinesis. These results reveal a cell cycle-dependent change of the subcellular distribution of ClC-3 and strongly suggest that ClC-3 has nucleocytoplasmic shuttling dynamics that may play key regulatory roles during different stages of the cell cycle in tumor cells.

Abstract
It has been known for more than 60 years, and suspected for over 100, that alveolar hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction by means of mechanisms local to the lung. For the last 20 years, it has been clear that the essential sensor, transduction, and effector mechanisms responsible for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) reside in the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell. The main focus of this review is the cellular and molecular work performed to clarify these intrinsic mechanisms and to determine how they are facilitated and inhibited by the extrinsic influences of other cells. Because the interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms is likely to shape expression of HPV in vivo, we relate results obtained in cells to HPV in more intact preparations, such as intact and isolated lungs and isolated pulmonary vessels. Finally, we evaluate evidence regarding the contribution of HPV to the physiological and pathophysiological processes involved in the transition from fetal to neonatal life, pulmonary gas exchange, high-altitude pulmonary edema, and pulmonary hypertension. Although understanding of HPV has advanced significantly, major areas of ignorance and uncertainty await resolution.

Abstract
Volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channels (VSOACs) are expressed in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and have been implicated in cell proliferation, growth, apoptosis and protection against oxidative stress. In this chapter, we review the properties of native VSOACs in PASMCs, and consider the evidence that ClC-3, a member of the ClC superfamily of voltage dependent Cl- channels, may be responsible for native VSOACs in PASMCs. Finally, we examine whether or not native VSOACs and heterologously expressed ClC-3 channels function as bona fide chloride channels or as chloride/proton antiporters.

Abstract
Keratinocyte differentiation requires integrating signaling among intracellular ionic changes, kinase cascades, sequential gene expression, cell cycle arrest, and programmed cell death. We now show that Cl(-) intracellular channel 4 (CLIC4) expression is increased in both mouse and human keratinocytes undergoing differentiation induced by Ca(2+), serum and the protein kinase C (PKC)-activator, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Elevation of CLIC4 is associated with signaling by PKCdelta, and knockdown of CLIC4 protein by antisense or shRNA prevents Ca(2+)-induced keratin 1, keratin 10 and filaggrin expression and cell cycle arrest in differentiating keratinocytes. CLIC4 is cytoplasmic in actively proliferating keratinocytes in vitro, but the cytoplasmic CLIC4 translocates to the nucleus in keratinocytes undergoing growth arrest by differentiation, senescence or transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) treatment. Targeting CLIC4 to the nucleus of keratinocytes via adenoviral transduction increases nuclear Cl(-) content and enhances expression of differentiation markers in the absence of elevated Ca(2+). In vivo, CLIC4 is localized to the epidermis in mouse and human skin, where it is predominantly nuclear in quiescent cells. These results suggest that CLIC4 participates in epidermal homeostasis through both alterations in the level of expression and subcellular localization. Nuclear CLIC4, possibly by altering the Cl(-) and pH of the nucleus, contributes to cell cycle arrest and the specific gene expression program associated with keratinocyte terminal differentiation.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, potentially fatal disease, whose blood clots originate from the deep venous system of the lower extremities. PE is of clinical importance because of the considerable mortality and morbidity. In this study, at first we established a rat PE model by injecting 3-4 emboli into the left jugular vein. Before collecting the lung tissues, we perfused them with saline through the right jugular vein and at the same time cut off the right carotid to remove the blood. Then we separated and identified differentially expressed proteins in lung tissues at different time points using the techniques of 2-DE and MS. After image analysis of 2-DE gels, 46 protein spots of interest were excised from the gels and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Thirty-two protein spots of them found their corresponding protein candidates in the database. These proteins are associated with distinct aspects of PE such as the contractive function of smooth muscles, metabolism of energy, collagen and toxicant, cellular differentiation, apoptosis and injury, blood pressure adjustment, maintaining of acid-base balance, and so on. Ten of the identified proteins were validated by semiquantitative RT-PCR, and three of them were further validated by Western blot analysis. The differential expression patterns of these proteins suggest the distinct roles they may play in different stages of the rat PE model, and information from this study may be helpful to uncover the pathophysiologic molecular mechanisms involved in PE.
