Abstract
Spinal cord injury triggers a strong innate inflammatory response in both non-regenerative mammals and regenerative zebrafish. Neutrophils are the first immune population to be recruited to the injury site. Yet, their role in the repair process, particularly in a regenerative context, remains largely unknown. Here, we show that, following rapid recruitment to the injured spinal cord, neutrophils mostly reverse migrate throughout the zebrafish body. In addition, promoting neutrophil inflammation resolution by inhibiting Cxcr4 boosts cellular and functional regeneration. Neutrophil-specific RNA-seq analysis reveals an enhanced activation state that correlates with a transient increase in tnf-α expression in macrophage/microglia populations. Conversely, blocking neutrophil recruitment through Cxcr1/2 inhibition diminishes the presence of macrophage/microglia at the injury site and impairs spinal cord regeneration. Altogether, these findings provide new insights into the role of neutrophils in spinal cord regeneration, emphasizing the significant impact of their immune profile on the outcome of the repair process.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to clarify risk factors for esophageal candidiasis (EC) in immunocompetent patients in a community hospital. 7736 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at our hospital from April 2012 to July 2018 were enrolled. The relationships between EC and the following factors: age, gender, body mass index, lifestyle, lifestyle-related diseases, medication, and endoscopic findings were analyzed. EC was observed in 184 of 7736 cases (2.4% morbidity rate). Multivariate analysis revealed that significant risk factors for the development of EC were: diabetes mellitus {odds ratio (OR): 1.52}, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (OR: 1.69), atrophic gastritis (AG) (OR: 1.60), advanced gastric cancer (OR: 4.66), and gastrectomy (OR: 2.32). When severe EC (Kodsi grade ≥ II) was compared to mild EC (grade I), the most significant risk factors were advanced gastric cancer (OR: 17.6) and gastrectomy (OR: 23.4). When considering the risk of AG and PPI use with EC development, the risk increased as follows: AG (OR: 1.59), PPI use (OR: 2.25), and both (OR: 3.13). PPI use, AG, advanced gastric cancer and post-gastrectomy are critical risk factors for the development of EC. We suggest close monitoring for EC development when PPIs are administered to patients with these factors.

Abstract
Despite the important function of neutrophils in the eradication of infections and induction of inflammation, the molecular mechanisms regulating the activation and termination of the neutrophil immune response is not well understood. Here, the function of the small GTPase from the RGK family, Gem, is characterized as a negative regulator of the NADPH oxidase through autophagy regulation. Gem knockout (Gem KO) neutrophils show increased NADPH oxidase activation and increased production of extracellular and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Enhanced ROS production in Gem KO neutrophils was associated with increased NADPH oxidase complex-assembly as determined by quantitative super-resolution microscopy, but normal exocytosis of gelatinase and azurophilic granules. Gem-deficiency was associated with increased basal autophagosomes and autolysosome numbers but decreased autophagic flux under phorbol ester-induced conditions. Neutrophil stimulation triggered the localization of the NADPH oxidase subunits p22phox and p47phox at LC3-positive structures suggesting that the assembled NADPH oxidase complex is recruited to autophagosomes, which was significantly increased in Gem KO neutrophils. Prevention of new autophagosome formation by treatment with SAR405 increased ROS production while induction of autophagy by Torin-1 decreased ROS production in Gem KO neutrophils, and also in wild-type neutrophils, suggesting that macroautophagy contributes to the termination of NADPH oxidase activity. Autophagy inhibition decreased NETs formation independently of enhanced ROS production. NETs production, which was significantly increased in Gem-deficient neutrophils, was decreased by inhibition of both autophagy and calmodulin, a known GEM interactor. Intracellular ROS production was increased in Gem KO neutrophils challenged with live Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Salmonella Typhimurium, but phagocytosis was not affected in Gem-deficient cells. In vivo analysis in a model of Salmonella Typhimurium infection indicates that Gem-deficiency provides a genetic advantage manifested as a moderate increased in survival to infections. Altogether, the data suggest that Gem-deficiency leads to the enhancement of the neutrophil innate immune response by increasing NADPH oxidase assembly and NETs production and that macroautophagy differentially regulates ROS and NETs in neutrophils.

Abstract
It has previously been reported that in ex vivo planar explants prepared from Xenopus laevis embryos, the intracellular pH (pHi) increases in cells of the dorsal ectoderm from stage 10.5 to 11.5 (i.e. 11-12.5 hpf). It was proposed that such increases (potentially due to H+ being extruded, sequestered, or buffered in some manner), play a role in regulating neural induction. Here, we used an extracellular ion-selective electrode to non-invasively measure H+ fluxes at eight locations around the equatorial circumference of intact X. laevis embryos between stages 9-12 (˜7-13.25 hpf). We showed that at stages 9-11, there was a small H+ efflux recorded from all the measuring positions. At stage 12 there was a small, but significant, increase in the efflux of H+ from most locations, but the efflux from the dorsal side of the embryo was significantly greater than from the other positions. Embryos were also treated from stages 9-12 with bafilomycin A1, to block the activity of the ATP-driven H+ pump. By stage 22 (24 hpf), these embryos displayed retarded development, arresting before the end of gastrulation and therefore did not display the usual anterior and neural structures, which were observed in the solvent-control embryos. In addition, expression of the early neural gene, Zic3, was absent in treated embryos compared with the solvent controls. Together, our new in vivo data corroborated and extended the earlier explant-derived report describing changes in pHi that were suggested to play a role during neural induction in X. laevis embryos.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant role of Thykamine, a botanical extract of thylakoides obtained from spinach leaves, has been investigated in animal and cellular models. The oxidative properties have been proven by inhibiting NO production (>98%) in J774A.1 cells and by protecting a linoelic acid emulsion subjected to lipid peroxidation caused by AAPH. Thykamine injected intraperitoneally to rats reduced the inflammatory process of (TNBS)-induced colitis and carrageenan-induced paw edema. As neutrophils are the first cells to migrate to inflammatory sites, the influence of Thykamine on the primary neutrophil functions were studied. Thykamine dose-dependent reduced neutrophil chemiotaxis, phagocytosis, and degranulation. No change in the release of LDH by neutrophils on Thykamine was recorded. Thykamine inhibited by 85% the neutrophil production of O2−. A superoxide recovery activity was observed on a zymography demonstrating a SOD-like enzyme on Thykamine extracts. Spontaneous fluorescence provided by carotenoid and chlorophyll pigments (488/675 nm) detected Thykamine on the surface, in the cytoplasm (mainly central where Golgi are present) and weakly in the nucleus of neutrophils. The results argue that SOD and pigments found in Thykamine are part of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties shown in in vivo and in vitro models of inflammation.

Abstract
We introduce the acidotropic marker cresyl violet to stain acidic granules in live neutrophils. Cresyl violet is less phototoxic, more photostable, and more cost-effective than other commercially available acidotropic markers. Additionally, it does not photoconvert to fluorescent species of a different color, a limitation of other commonly used acidotropic markers. Staining can be readily detected by fluorescence microscopy or by flow cytometry, and can be used as a readout of degranulation in activated neutrophils.

Abstract
Neutrophils migrating from the blood (pH 7.35-7.45) into the surrounding tissues encounter changes in extracellular pH (pHe) conditions. Upon activation of NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox), neutrophils generate large amounts of H+ ions reducing the intracellular pH (pHi). Nevertheless, how extracellular pH regulates neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation (NETosis) is not clearly established. We hypothesized that increasing pH increases Nox-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neutrophil protease activity, stimulating NETosis. Here, we found that raising pHe (ranging from 6.6 to 7.8; every 0.2 units) increased pHi of both activated and resting neutrophils within 10-20 min (Seminaphtharhodafluor dual fluorescence measurements). Since Nox activity generates H+ ions, pHi is lower in neutrophils that are activated compared to resting. We also found that higher pH stimulated Nox-dependent ROS production (R123 generation; flow cytometry, plate reader assay, and imaging) during spontaneous and phorbol myristate acetate-induced NETosis (Sytox Green assays, immunoconfocal microscopy, and quantifying NETs). In neutrophils that are activated and not resting, higher pH stimulated histone H4 cleavage (Western blots) and NETosis. Raising pH increased Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide-, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative)-, and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive)-induced NETosis. Thus, higher pHe promoted Nox-dependent ROS production, protease activity, and NETosis; lower pH has the opposite effect. These studies provided mechanistic steps of pHe-mediated regulation of Nox-dependent NETosis. Raising pH either by sodium bicarbonate or Tris base (clinically known as Tris hydroxymethyl aminomethane, tromethamine, or THAM) increases NETosis. Each Tris molecule can bind 3H+ ions, whereas each bicarbonate HCO3- ion binds 1H+ ion. Therefore, the amount of Tris solution required to cause the same increase in pH level is less than that of equimolar bicarbonate solution. For that reason, regulating NETosis by pH with specific buffers such as THAM could be more effective than bicarbonate in managing NET-related diseases.

Abstract
Comprising the majority of leukocytes in humans, neutrophils are the first immune cells to respond to inflammatory or infectious etiologies and are crucial participants in the proper functioning of both innate and adaptive immune responses. From their initial appearance in the liver, thymus, and spleen at around the eighth week of human gestation to their generation in large numbers in the bone marrow at the end of term gestation, the differentiation of the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell into a mature, segmented neutrophil is a highly controlled process where the transcriptional regulators C/EBP-α and C/EBP-ε play a vital role. Recent advances in neutrophil biology have clarified the life cycle of these cells and revealed striking differences between neonatal and adult neutrophils based on fetal maturation and environmental factors. Here we detail neutrophil ontogeny, granulopoiesis, and neutrophil homeostasis and highlight important differences between neonatal and adult neutrophil populations.

Abstract
Neutrophils migrate to sites infected by pathogenic microorganisms. This migration is regulated by neutrophil-secreted ATP, which stimulates neutrophils in an autocrine manner through purinergic receptors on the plasma membrane. Although previous studies have shown that ATP is released through channels at the plasma membrane of the neutrophil, it remains unknown whether it is also released through alternate secretory systems involving vesicular mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the possible involvement of vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT), a key molecule for vesicular storage and nucleotide release, in ATP secretion from neutrophils. RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis indicated that VNUT is expressed in mouse neutrophils. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that VNUT mainly colocalized with matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), a marker of tertiary granules, which are secretory organelles. In mouse neutrophils, ATP release was inhibited by clodronate, which is a potent VNUT inhibitor. Furthermore, neutrophils from VNUT-/- mice did not release ATP and exhibited significantly reduced migration in vitro and in vivo These findings suggest that tertiary granule-localized VNUT is responsible for vesicular ATP release and subsequent neutrophil migration. Thus, these findings suggest an additional mechanism through which ATP is released by neutrophils.

Abstract
In vitro studies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other pathogenic bacteria in biofilm aggregates have yielded detailed insight into their potential growth modes and metabolic flexibility under exposure to gradients of substrate and electron acceptor. However, the growth pattern of P. aeruginosa in chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is very different from what is observed in vitro, for example, in biofilms grown in flow chambers. Dense in vitro biofilms of P. aeruginosa exhibit rapid O2 depletion within <50-100 μm due to their own aerobic metabolism. In contrast, in vivo investigations show that P. aeruginosa persists in the chronically infected CF lung as relatively small cell aggregates that are surrounded by numerous PMNs, where the activity of PMNs is the major cause of O2 depletion rendering the P. aeruginosa aggregates anoxic. High levels of nitrate and nitrite enable P. aeruginosa to persist fueled by denitrification in the PMN-surrounded biofilm aggregates. This configuration creates a potentially long-term stable ecological niche for P. aeruginosa in the CF lung, which is largely governed by slow growth and anaerobic metabolism and enables persistence and resilience of this pathogen even under the recurring aggressive antimicrobial treatments of CF patients. As similar slow growth of other CF pathogens has recently been observed in endobronchial secretions, there is now a clear need for better in vitro models that simulate such in vivo growth patterns and anoxic microenvironments in order to help unravel the efficiency of existing or new antimicrobials targeting anaerobic metabolism in P. aeruginosa and other CF pathogens. We also advocate that host immune responses such as PMN-driven O2 depletion play a central role in the formation of anoxic microniches governing bacterial persistence in other chronic infections such as chronic wounds.

Abstract
Critically ill post-surgical, post-trauma and/or septic patients are characterised by severe inflammation. This immune response consists of both a pro- and an anti-inflammatory component. The pro-inflammatory component contributes to (multiple) organ failure whereas occurrence of immune paralysis predisposes to infections. Strikingly, infectious complications arise in these patients despite the presence of a clear neutrophilia. We propose that dysfunction of neutrophils potentially increases the susceptibility to infections or can result in the inability to clear existing infections. Under homeostatic conditions these effector cells of the innate immune system circulate in a quiescent state and serve as the first line of defence against invading pathogens. In severe inflammation, however, neutrophils are rapidly activated, which affects their functional capacities, such as chemotaxis, phagocytosis, intra-cellular killing, NETosis, and their capacity to modulate adaptive immunity. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of neutrophil dysfunction in severe inflammation. We will discuss the possible mechanisms of downregulation of anti-microbial function, suppression of adaptive immunity by neutrophils and the contribution of neutrophil subsets to immune paralysis.

Abstract
During metabolic acidosis, the cortical collecting duct (CCD) of the rabbit reverses the polarity of bicarbonate flux from net secretion to net absorption, and this is accomplished by increasing the proton secretory rate by α-intercalated cells (ICs) and decreasing bicarbonate secretion by β-ICs. To better characterize dynamic changes in H(+)-secreting α-ICs, we examined their morphology in collecting ducts microdissected from kidneys of normal, acidotic, and recovering rabbits. α-ICs in defined axial regions varied in number and basolateral anion exchanger (AE)1 morphology, which likely reflects their relative activity and function along the collecting duct. Upon transition from CCD to outer medullary collecting duct from the outer stripe to the inner stripe, the number of α-ICs increases from 11.0 ± 1.2 to 15.4 ± 1.11 and to 32.0 ± 1.3 cells/200 μm, respectively. In the CCD, the basolateral structure defined by AE1 typically exhibited a pyramidal or conical shape, whereas in the medulla the morphology was elongated and shallow, resulting in a more rectangular shape. Furthermore, acidosis reversibly induced α-ICs in the CCD to acquire a more rectangular morphology concomitant with a transition from diffusely cytoplasmic to increased basolateral surface distribution of AE1 and apical polarization of B1-V-ATPase. The latter results are consistent with the supposition that morphological adaptation from the pyramidal to rectangular shape reflects a transition toward a more "active" configuration. In addition, α-ICs in the outer medullary collecting duct from the outer stripe exhibited cellular morphology strikingly similar to dendritic cells that may reflect a newly defined ancillary function in immune defense of the kidney.

Abstract
Neutrophils kill microorganisms by inducing exocytosis of granules with antibacterial properties. Four isoforms of the "a" subunit of V-ATPase-a1V, a2V, a3V, and a4V-have been identified. a2V is expressed in white blood cells, that is, on the surface of monocytes or activated lymphocytes. Neutrophil associated-a2V was found on membranes of primary (azurophilic) granules and less often on secondary (specific) granules, tertiary (gelatinase granules), and secretory vesicles. However, it was not found on the surface of resting neutrophils. Following stimulation of neutrophils, primary granules containing a2V as well as CD63 translocated to the surface of the cell because of exocytosis. a2V was also found on the cell surface when the neutrophils were incubated in ammonium chloride buffer (pH 7.4) a weak base. The intracellular pH (cytosol) became alkaline within 5 min after stimulation, and the pH increased from 7.2 to 7.8; this pH change correlated with intragranular acidification of the neutrophil granules. Upon translocation and exocytosis, a2V on the membrane of primary granules remained on the cell surface, but myeloperoxidase was secreted. V-ATPase may have a role in the fusion of the granule membrane with the cell surface membrane before exocytosis. These findings suggest that the granule-associated a2V isoform has a role in maintaining a pH gradient within the cell between the cytosol and granules in neutrophils and also in fusion between the surface and the granules before exocytosis. Because a2V is not found on the surface of resting neutrophils, surface a2V may be useful as a biomarker for activated neutrophils.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the most abundant polymorphonuclear leukocytes, presenting the first line of defence against infection or tissue damage. To characterize the molecular changes on the protein level in neutrophils during sterile inflammation we established the chemically-induced inflammation (ChIn) assay in adult zebrafish and investigated the proteome dynamics within neutrophils of adult zebrafish upon inflammation. Through label-free proteomics we identified 48 proteins that were differentially regulated during inflammation. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these proteins were associated with cell cycle, nitric oxide signalling, regulation of cytoskeleton rearrangement and intermediate filaments as well as immune-related processes such as antigen presentation, leucocyte chemotaxis and IL-6 signalling. Comparison of protein expression dynamics with transcript expression dynamics suggests the existence of regulatory mechanisms confined to the protein level for some genes. This is the first proteome analysis of adult zebrafish neutrophils upon chemically-induced inflammation providing a valuable reference for future studies using zebrafish inflammation models.

Abstract
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare hematopoietic disorder, with estimated incidence of 1 in 200,000 individuals of European descent, many cases of which are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Despite the fact that several causal genes have been identified, the genetic basis for >30% of cases remains unknown. We report a five-generation family segregating a novel single nucleotide variant (SNV) in TCIRG1. There is perfect cosegregation of the SNV with congenital neutropenia in this family; all 11 affected, but none of the unaffected, individuals carry this novel SNV. Western blot analysis show reduced levels of TCIRG1 protein in affected individuals, compared to healthy controls. Two unrelated patients with SCN, identified by independent investigators, are heterozygous for different, rare, highly conserved, coding variants in TCIRG1.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Dietary and microbial factors and the gut immune system are important in autoimmune diabetes. We evaluated inflammatory activity in the whole gut in prediabetic NOD mice using ex vivo imaging of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), and correlated this with the above-mentioned factors. METHODS NOD mice were fed a normal diet or an anti-diabetogenic casein hydrolysate (CH) diet. RONS activity was detected by chemiluminescence imaging of the whole gut. Proinflammatory and T cell cytokines were studied in the gut and islets, and dietary effects on gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids were determined. RESULTS Prediabetic NOD mice displayed high RONS activity in the epithelial cells of the distal small intestine, in conjunction with a proinflammatory cytokine profile. RONS production was effectively reduced by the CH diet, which also controlled (1) the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and colonisation-dependent RegIIIγ (also known as Reg3g) in ileum; (2) intestinal T cell activation; and (3) islet cytokines. The CH diet diminished microbial colonisation, increased the Bacteroidetes:Firmicutes ratio, and reduced lactic acid and butyric acid production in the gut. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Epithelial RONS production and proinflammatory T cell activation appears in the ileum of NOD mice after weaning to normal laboratory chow, but not after weaning to an anti-diabetogenic CH diet. Our data suggest a link between dietary factors, microbial colonisation and mucosal immune activation in NOD mice.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are present in specialized proton secretory cells in which they pump protons across the membranes of various intracellular organelles and across the plasma membrane. The proton transport mechanism is electrogenic and establishes an acidic pH and a positive transmembrane potential in these intracellular and extracellular compartments. V-ATPases have been found to be practically identical in terms of the composition of their subunits in all eukaryotic cells. They have two distinct structures: a peripheral catalytic sector (V1) and a hydrophobic membrane sector (V0) responsible for driving protons. V-ATPase activity is regulated by three different mechanisms, which control pump density, association/dissociation of the V1 and V0 domains, and secretory activity. The C subunit is a 40-kDa protein located in the V1 domain of V-ATPase. The protein is encoded by the ATP6V1C gene and is located at position 22 of the long arm of chromosome 8 (8q22.3). The C subunit has very important functions in terms of controlling the regulation of the reversible dissociation of V-ATPases.

Abstract
The vacuolar proton-pumping ATPase (V-ATPase) is the main mediator of intracellular organelle acidification and also regulates transmembrane proton (H(+)) secretion, which is necessary for an array of physiological functions fulfilled by organs such as the kidney, male reproductive tract, lung, bone, and ear. In this study we characterize expression of the V-ATPase in the main olfactory epithelium of the mouse, as well as a functional role for the V-ATPase in odor detection. We report that the V-ATPase localizes to the apical membrane microvilli of olfactory sustentacular cells and to the basolateral membrane of microvillar cells. Plasma membrane V-ATPases containing the B1 subunit isoform are not detected in olfactory sensory neurons or in the olfactory bulb. This precise localization of expression affords the opportunity to ascertain the functional relevance of V-ATPase expression upon innate, odor-evoked behaviors in B1-deficient mice. This animal model exhibits diminished innate avoidance behavior (revealed as a decrease in freezing time and an increase in the number of sniffs in the presence of trimethyl-thiazoline) and diminished innate appetitive behavior (a decrease in time spent investigating the urine of the opposite sex). We conclude that V-ATPase-mediated H(+) secretion in the olfactory epithelium is required for optimal olfactory function.

Abstract
Streptococcus pyogenes, a significant bacterial pathogen in humans, interferes with the membrane traffic of human neutrophils and survives following phagocytosis. The mechanism(s) behind this property is not known, but in contrast to wild-type bacteria, mutant bacteria lacking virulence factors regulated by the transcriptional regulator Mga, are phagocytosed and killed. In the present work we investigated whether differences in phagosomal acidification may contribute to this difference. Phagosomal pH in neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells was studied by fluorescence ratio imaging, and phagosomes containing wild-type S. pyogenes bacteria of the M1 serotype exhibited little or no acidification, whereas Mga mutant bacteria were found in more acidic phagosomes. With phagosomes containing these bacteria, proton delivery was inhibited by adding folimycin, a vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) inhibitor. This inhibitor had no effect on phagosomes containing wild-type bacteria, indicating either inactivation or removal of V-ATPases by the bacteria. Analysis of isolated bacteria-containing phagosomes confirmed the latter scenario and showed a more efficient delivery of V-ATPases to phagosomes containing Mga mutant bacteria. The results demonstrate that V-ATPase-mediated phagosomal proton delivery is reduced during phagocytosis of wild-type S. pyogenes, leading to impaired acidification, and that surface proteins of the mga regulon are responsible for this effect.

Abstract
Recent work on animal models has revealed the important role played by the voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 during bacterial killing by innate immune cells. Studies from mice lacking Hv1 channels showed that Hv1 proton channels are required for high-level production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the NADPH oxidase of phagocytes (NOX2) in two ways. First, Hv1 channels maintain a physiological membrane potential during the respiratory burst of neutrophils by providing a compensating charge for the electrons transferred by NOX2 from NADPH to superoxide. Second, Hv1 channels maintain a physiological cytosolic pH by extruding the acid generated by the NOX2-dependent consumption of NADPH. The two mechanisms directly sustain the activity of the NOX2 enzyme and indirectly sustain other neutrophil functions by enhancing the driving force for the entry of calcium into cells, thereby boosting cellular calcium signals. The increased depolarization of Hv1-deficient neutrophils aborted calcium responses to chemoattractants and revealed adhesion and migration defects that were associated with an impaired depolymerization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton. Current research aims to transpose these findings to phagosomes, the phagocytic vacuoles where bacterial killing takes place. However, the mechanisms that control the phagosomal pH appear to vary greatly between phagocytes: phagosomes rapidly acidify in macrophages but remain neutral for several minutes in neutrophils following ingestion of solid particles, whereas in dendritic cells phagosomes alkalinize, a mechanism thought to promote antigen cross-presentation. In this review, we discuss how the knowledge gained on the role of Hv1 channels at the plasma membrane of neutrophils can be used to study the regulation of the phagosomal pH, ROS, membrane potential, and calcium fluxes in different phagocytic cells.

Abstract
A chronic inflammatory disease is a condition characterized by persistent inflammation. A number of human pathologies fall into this category, and a great deal of research has been conducted to learn more about their characteristics and underlying mechanisms. In many cases, a genetic component has been identified, but also external factors like food, smoke, or environmental pollutants can significantly contribute to worsen their symptoms. Accumulated evidence clearly shows that chronic inflammatory diseases are subjected to a redox control. Here, we shall review the identity, source, regulation, and biological activity of redox molecules, to put in a better perspective their key-role in cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and inflammatory bowel diseases. In addition, the impact of redox species on autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and celiac disease) and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis) will be discussed, along with their potential therapeutic implications as novel drugs to combat chronic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
The vacuolar-ATPase (v-ATPase) is a proton transporter found on many intracellular organelles and the plasma membrane (PM). The v-ATPase on PMs of cancer cells may contribute to their invasive properties in vitro. Its relevance to human cancer tissues remains unclear. We investigated whether the expression and cellular localization of v-ATPase corresponded to the stage of human pancreatic cancer, and its effect on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activation in vitro. The intensity of v-ATPase staining increased significantly across the range of pancreatic histology from normal ducts to pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasms (PanIN), and finally pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Low-grade PanIN lesions displayed polarized staining confined to the basal aspect of the cell in the majority (86%) of fields examined. High-grade PanIN lesions and PDAC showed intense and diffuse v-ATPase localization. In pancreatic cancer cells, PM-associated v-ATPase colocalized with cortactin, a component of the leading edge that helps direct MMP release. Blockade of the v-ATPase with concanamycin or short-hairpin RNA targeting the V₁E subunit reduced MMP-9 activity; this effect was greatest in cells with prominent PM-associated v-ATPase. In cells with detectable MMP-2 activities, however, treatment with concanamycin markedly increased MMP-2's most activated forms. V-ATPase blockade inhibited functional migration and invasion in those cells with predominantly MMP-9 activity. These results indicate that human PDAC specimens show loss of v-ATPase polarity and increased expression that correlates with increasing invasive potential. Thus, v-ATPase selectively modulates specific MMPs that may be linked to an invasive cancer phenotype.

Abstract
Key components of vesicular neurotransmitter release, such as Ca(2+) influx and membrane recycling, are affected by cytosolic pH. We measured the pH-sensitive fluorescence of Yellow Fluorescent Protein transgenically expressed in mouse motor nerve terminals, and report that Ca(2+) influx elicited by action potential trains (12.5-100 Hz) evokes a biphasic pH change: a brief acidification (∼ 13 nM average peak increase in [H(+)]), followed by a prolonged alkalinization (∼ 30 nM peak decrease in [H(+)]) that outlasts the stimulation train. The alkalinization is selectively eliminated by blocking vesicular exocytosis with botulinum neurotoxins, and is prolonged by the endocytosis-inhibitor dynasore. Blocking H(+) pumping by vesicular H(+)-ATPase (with folimycin or bafilomycin) suppresses stimulation-induced alkalinization and reduces endocytotic uptake of FM1-43. These results suggest that H(+)-ATPase, known to transfer cytosolic H(+) into prefused vesicles, continues to extrude cytosolic H(+) after being exocytotically incorporated into the plasma membrane. The resulting cytosolic alkalinization may facilitate vesicular endocytosis.

Abstract
We shed new light on the expression and function of the proteinase-activated receptor (PAR) family, associated with inflammation and hyperalgesia, in human granulocytes. Resting cells expressed constitutive levels of PAR-2 and PAR-3 mRNA but not PAR-1 or PAR-4. Based on flow cytometry, stimulation with opsonized bacteria (Bop) specifically up-regulated cell surface expression of PAR-2 in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner, independent of transcription or de novo protein synthesis. Primary granules were identified as a source of preformed PAR-2 that can readily be mobilized at the surface on fusion with the plasma membrane. Cellular response to PAR-2 activation, measured as changes in intracellular calcium concentration, was enhanced in PAR-2 up-regulated cells. Increase of cell-surface PAR-2 and of cell responsiveness were dependent specifically on the engagement of immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding receptors. Together, our results reveal that mobilization of intracellular granules, in response to Ig-receptor activation, up-regulates PAR-2 surface expression and makes neutrophils more responsive to proteinase activity. This enhanced response to PAR-2 activation indicates that molecular communication between pain and inflammation may be more important than previously believed.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of metabolic inhibition (MI) by glucose substitution with 2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) and/or application of antimycin A on ovine rumen epithelial cells (REC) vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (vH+-ATPase) activity was investigated. Using fluorescent spectroscopy, basal pHi of REC was measured to be 7.3 ± 0.1 in HCO3−-free, glucose-containing NaCl medium. MI induced a strong pHi reduction (−0.44 ± 0.04 pH units) with a more pronounced effect of 2-DOG compared to antimycin A (−0.30 ± 0.03 versus −0.21 ± 0.03 pH units). Treatment with foliomycin, a specific vH+-ATPase inhibitor, decreased REC pHi by 0.21 ± 0.05 pH units. After MI induction, this effect was nearly abolished (−0.03 ± 0.02 pH units). In addition, membrane-associated localization of vH+-ATPase B subunit disappeared. Metabolic control of vH+-ATPase involving regulation of its assembly state by elements of the glycolytic pathway could provide a means to adapt REC ATP consumption according to energy availability.

Abstract
Phagocytosis of microbial invaders represents a fundamental defense mechanism of the innate immune system. The subsequent killing of microbes is initiated by the respiratory burst, in which nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase generates vast amounts of superoxide anion, precursor to bactericidal reactive oxygen species. Cytoplasmic pH regulation is crucial because NADPH oxidase functions optimally at neutral pH, yet produces enormous quantities of protons. We monitored pH(i) in individual human neutrophils during phagocytosis of opsonized zymosan, using confocal imaging of the pH sensing dye SNARF-1, enhanced by shifted excitation and emission ratioing, or SEER. Despite long-standing dogma that Na(+)/H(+) antiport regulates pH during the phagocyte respiratory burst, we show here that voltage-gated proton channels are the first transporter to respond. During the initial phagocytotic event, pH(i) decreased sharply, and recovery required both Na(+)/H(+) antiport and proton current. Inhibiting myeloperoxidase attenuated the acidification, suggesting that diffusion of HOCl into the cytosol comprises a substantial acid load. Inhibiting proton channels with Zn(2+) resulted in profound acidification to levels that inhibit NADPH oxidase. The pH changes accompanying phagocytosis in bone marrow phagocytes from HVCN1-deficient mice mirrored those in control mouse cells treated with Zn(2+). Both the rate and extent of acidification in HVCN1-deficient cells were twice larger than in control cells. In summary, acid extrusion by proton channels is essential to the production of reactive oxygen species during phagocytosis.

Abstract
Acidity is one of the main features of the tumors. The V-ATPase is the primary responsible for the control of tumor microenvironment by proton extrusion to the extracellular medium. The acid environment favors tissue damage, activation of destructive enzymes in the extracellular matrix, the acquisition of metastatic cell phenotypes as well as increasing the destructive capacity. The application of specific inhibitors of V-ATPases, can decrease the acidity of tumor and may allow the reduction of tumor metastasis, acting on the survival of tumor cells and prevent the phenomena of chemoresistance. Among the most important inhibitors can be distinguished benzolactone enamides (salicylihalamide), lobatamide A and B, apicularen, indolyls, oximidine, macrolactone archazolid, lobatamide C, and cruentaren. The latest generation of inhibitors includes NiK12192, FR202126, and PPI SB 242784. The purpose of this paper is to describe the latest advances in the field of V-ATPase inhibitors, describe further developments related to the classic inhibitors, and discuss new potential applications of these drugs in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Long-term effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on vacuolar H(+)-ATPase were studied in a SV40-transformed cell line derived from rat proximal tubules (IRPTC). Using pH(i) measurements with the fluorescent dye BCECF, the hormone increased Na(+)-independent pH recovery rate from an NH(4)Cl pulse from 0.066 +/- 0.014 pH U/min (n = 7) to 0.14 +/- 0.021 pH U/min (n = 13; p < 0.05) in 10 h Ang II (10(-9) M)-treated cells. The increased activity of H(+)-ATPase did not involve changes in mRNA or protein abundance of the B2 subunit but increased cell surface expression of the V-ATPase. Inhibition of tyrosine kinase by genistein blocked Ang II-dependent stimulation of H(+)-ATPase. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) by wortmannin and of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by SB 203580 also blocked this effect. Thus, long-term exposure of IRPTC cells to Ang II causes upregulation of H(+)-ATPase activity due, at least in part, to increased B2 cell surface expression. This regulatory pathway is dependent on mechanisms involving tyrosine kinase, p38 MAPK, and PI3K activation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide (O(2)(.-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) are produced endogenously in response to cytokines, growth factors; G-protein coupled receptors, and shear stress in endothelial cells (ECs). ROS function as signaling molecules to mediate various biological responses such as gene expression, cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and senescence in ECs. Signal transduction activated by ROS, "oxidant signaling," has received intense investigation. Excess amount of ROS contribute to various pathophysiologies, including endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The major source of ROS in EC is a NADPH oxidase. The prototype phagaocytic NADPH oxidase is composed of membrane-bound gp91phox and p22hox, as well as cytosolic subunits such as p47(phox), p67(phox) and small GTPase Rac. In ECs, in addition to all the components of phagocytic NADPH oxidases, homologues of gp91(phox) (Nox2) including Nox1, Nox4, and Nox5 are expressed. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the emerging area of ROS derived from NADPH oxidase and oxidant signaling in ECs linked to physiological and pathophysiological functions. Understanding these mechanisms may provide insight into the NADPH oxidase and oxidant signaling components as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Neoplastic expansion of myeloid cells is associated with specific genetic changes that lead to chronic activation of signaling pathways, as well as altered metabolism. It has become increasingly evident that transformation relies on the interdependency of both events. Among the various genetic changes, the oncogenic BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase in patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been a focus of extensive research. Transformation by this oncogene is associated with elevated levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS have been implicated in processes that promote viability, cell growth, and regulation of other biological functions such as migration of cells or gene expression. Currently, the BCR-ABL inhibitor imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is being used as a first-line therapy for the treatment of CML. However, BCR-ABL transformation is associated with genomic instability, and disease progression or resistance to imatinib can occur. Imatinib resistance is not known to cause or significantly alter signaling requirements in transformed cells. Elevated ROS are crucial for transformation, making them an ideal additional target for therapeutic intervention. The underlying mechanisms leading to elevated oxidative stress are reviewed, and signaling mechanisms that may serve as novel targeted approaches to overcome ROS-dependent cell growth are discussed.

Abstract
The lumen of endosomal organelles becomes increasingly acidic when going from the cell surface to lysosomes. Luminal pH thereby regulates important processes such as the release of internalized ligands from their receptor or the activation of lysosomal enzymes. The main player in endosomal acidification is the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a multi-subunit transmembrane complex that pumps protons from the cytoplasm to the lumen of organelles, or to the outside of the cell. The active V-ATPase is composed of two multi-subunit domains, the transmembrane V0 and the cytoplasmic V1. Here we found that the ratio of membrane associated V1/Vo varies along the endocytic pathway, the relative abundance of V1 being higher on late endosomes than on early endosomes, providing an explanation for the higher acidity of late endosomes. We also found that all membrane-bound V-ATPase subunits were associated with detergent resistant membranes (DRM) isolated from late endosomes, raising the possibility that association with lipid-raft like domains also plays a role in regulating the activity of the proton pump. In support of this, we found that treatment of cells with U18666A, a drug that leads to the accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes, affected acidification of late endosome. Altogether our findings indicate that the activity of the vATPase in the endocytic pathway is regulated both by reversible association/dissociation and the interaction with specific lipid environments.

Abstract
The integral V(0) domain of the vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (V-ATPases) provides the pathway by which protons are transported across the membrane. Subunit a is a 100-kDa integral subunit of V(0) that plays an essential role in proton translocation. To better define the membrane topology of subunit a, unique cysteine residues were introduced into a Cys-less form of the yeast subunit a (Vph1p) and the accessibility of these cysteine residues to modification by the membrane permeant reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and the membrane impermeant reagent polyethyleneglycol maleimide (PEG-mal) in the presence and absence of the protein denaturant SDS was assessed. Thirty Vph1p mutants containing unique cysteine residues were constructed and analyzed. Cysteines introduced between residues 670 and 710 and between 807 and 840 were modified by PEG-mal in the absence of SDS, indicating a cytoplasmic orientation. Cysteines introduced between residues 602 and 620 and between residues 744 and 761 were modified by NEM but not PEG-mal in the absence of SDS, suggesting a lumenal orientation. Finally, cysteines introduced at residues 638, 645, 648, 723, 726, 734, and at nine positions between residue 766 and 804 were modified by NEM and PEG-mal only in the presence of SDS, consistent with their presence within the membrane or at a protein-protein interface. The results support an eight transmembrane helix (TM) model of subunit a in which the C terminus is located on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and provide information on the location of hydrophilic loops separating TM6, 7, and 8.

Abstract
The mechanism of action of cisplatin as a chemotherapeutic agent has been attributed to DNA binding, while its mechanism of action as a nephrotoxin is unresolved. Only approximately 1% of intracellular cisplatin interacts with DNA, primarily forming intrastrand cross-linked adducts, and many studies have implicated both nuclear and cytoplasmic causes of cisplatin-induced death in cultured cells. We have demonstrated that cisplatin cytotoxicity depends on cdk2 activity, which is at least partly through the cdk2-E2F1 pathway. The mechanism of the dependency on cdk2, and whether cdk2 activation of E2F1 represents the only cell death pathway involved, is still unclear. Our previous work showed that deletion of the nuclear localization signal from p21 WAF1/CIP1, a cdk2 inhibitor, did not alter its protective action against cisplatin cytotoxicity. Active cdk2-cyclin complexes are localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, and it was reported that cdk2 translocated to the cytoplasm after an apoptotic stimulus. Herein, we show that cisplatin caused cell death in enucleated mouse kidney proximal tubule cells (TKPTS), which was prevented by cdk2 inhibition. Also, we localized cytoplasmic cdk2 to both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi compartments, and ER stress was blocked by specific cdk2 inhibition. We conclude that cisplatin can induce nuclear independent apoptosis, cisplatin cytotoxicity can be initiated by cytoplasmic events, and cytoplasmic cdk2 plays an important role in apoptosis signaling.

Abstract
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), the only approved stroke treatment, is used for clot lysis within the occluded brain artery. Unfortunately, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration increases after t-PA treatment and has been related to hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke. Although the exact cellular source of brain MMP-9 remains unknown, invading, inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils, release MMP-9 to cross the blood brain barrier. Therefore, we hypothesize that the most feared side effect of stroke reperfusion therapy, brain hemorrhage, is related to t-PA-induced MMP-9 release by neutrophils. We show by means of ELISA that t-PA treatment promotes MMP-9, MMP-8, and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 release from human neutrophils ex vivo within 10 and 30 min. Moreover, by zymography and Western blot, we observed that neutrophils are emptied of MMP-9 content after t-PA treatment at those times. Finally, total internal reflection fluorescent imaging allowed us to observe the t-PA effect on neutrophils, showing the promotion of degranulation on these cells in vivo. Our data suggest that neutrophils are good candidates to be the main source of MMP-9 following t-PA stroke treatment and in consequence, partially responsible for thrombolysis-related brain bleedings.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (V-ATPases) are ATP-dependent proton pumps responsible for both acidification of intracellular compartments and, for certain cell types, proton transport across the plasma membrane. Intracellular V-ATPases function in both endocytic and intracellular membrane traffic, processing and degradation of macromolecules in secretory and digestive compartments, coupled transport of small molecules such as neurotransmitters and ATP and in the entry of pathogenic agents, including envelope viruses and bacterial toxins. V-ATPases are present in the plasma membrane of renal cells, osteoclasts, macrophages, epididymal cells and certain tumor cells where they are important for urinary acidification, bone resorption, pH homeostasis, sperm maturation and tumor cell invasion, respectively. The V-ATPases are composed of a peripheral domain (V(1)) that carries out ATP hydrolysis and an integral domain (V(0)) responsible for proton transport. V(1) contains eight subunits (A-H) while V(0) contains six subunits (a, c, c', c'', d and e). V-ATPases operate by a rotary mechanism in which ATP hydrolysis within V(1) drives rotation of a central rotary domain, that includes a ring of proteolipid subunits (c, c' and c''), relative to the remainder of the complex. Rotation of the proteolipid ring relative to subunit a within V(0) drives active transport of protons across the membrane. Two important mechanisms of regulating V-ATPase activity in vivo are reversible dissociation of the V(1) and V(0) domains and changes in coupling efficiency of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. This review focuses on recent advances in our lab in understanding the structure and regulation of the V-ATPases.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a universal component of eukaryotic organisms, which is present in both intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. In the latter, its proton-pumping action creates the low intravacuolar pH, benefiting many processes such as, membrane trafficking, protein degradation, renal acidification, bone resorption, and tumor metastasis. In this article, we briefly summarize recent studies on the essential and diverse roles of mammalian V-ATPase and their medical applications, with a special emphasis on identification and use of V-ATPase inhibitors.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+) ATPases (V-ATPases) are large, multimeric proton pumps that, like the related family of F1F0 ATP synthases, employ a rotary mechanism. ATP hydrolysis by the peripheral V1 domain drives rotation of a rotary complex (the rotor) relative to the stationary part of the enzyme (the stator), leading to proton translocation through the integral V0 domain. One mechanism of regulating V-ATPase activity in vivo involves reversible dissociation of the V1 and V0 domains. Unlike the corresponding domains in F1F0, the dissociated V1 domain does not hydrolyze ATP, and the free V0 domain does not passively conduct protons. These properties are important to avoid generation of an uncoupled ATPase activity or an unregulated proton conductance upon dissociation of the complex in vivo. Previous results (Parra, K. J., Keenan, K. L., and Kane, P. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 21761-21767) showed that subunit H (part of the stator) inhibits ATP hydrolysis by free V1. To test the hypothesis that subunit H accomplishes this by bridging rotor and stator in free V1, cysteine-mediated cross-linking studies were performed. Unique cysteine residues were introduced over the surface of subunit H from yeast by site-directed mutagenesis and used as the site of attachment of the photo-activated cross-linking reagent maleimido benzophenone. After UV-activated cross-linking, cross-linked products were identified by Western blot using subunit-specific antibodies. The results indicate that the subunit H mutant S381C shows cross-linking between subunit H and subunit F (a rotor subunit) in the free V1 domain but not in the intact V1V0 complex. These results indicate that subunits H and F are proximal in free V1, supporting the hypothesis that subunit H inhibits free V1 by bridging the rotary and stator domains.

Abstract
One mechanism of regulating V-ATPase activity in vivo involves reversible dissociation into its component V(1) and V(0) domains, which in yeast occurs in response to glucose depletion. V-ATPase complexes containing the Vph1p isoform of subunit a (VCC) are targeted to the vacuole, and Stv1p-containing complexes (SCC) are targeted to the Golgi. Overexpression of Stv1p results in mistargeting of SCC to the vacuole. We have investigated the role of the a subunit isoform and cellular environment in controlling dissociation using vacuolar protein sorting (vps) mutants that accumulate proteins in either the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) (vps27Delta) or a post-Golgi compartment (PGC) (vps21Delta). Dissociation of both VCC and SCC depends upon cellular environment, with dissociation most complete in the vacuole and least complete in the PVC. The dependence of dissociation on V-ATPase activity was also investigated using both concanamycin and inactivating mutations. Concanamycin partly blocks dissociation of both VCC and SCC in all three compartments, with inhibition generally greater for SCC than VCC. The R735Q mutant of Vph1p results in loss of both ATPase and proton transport, whereas the R735K mutant lacks proton transport but has 10% of wild type ATPase activity. For VCC in the vacuole, dissociation is completely blocked for the R735Q but not the R735K mutant. Significant dissociation of VCC is observed for both mutants in the PVC and PGC, indicating that V-ATPase activity is not absolutely required for dissociation. Similar results were obtained for SCC, although dissociation of SCC is again generally more sensitive to activity than VCC. These results suggest that the cellular environment is important both in controlling in vivo dissociation of the V-ATPase and the dependence of this process on catalytic activity. Moreover, catalytic activity is not absolutely required for V-ATPase dissociation.

Intracellular pH regulation in oral squamous cell carcinoma is mediated by increased V-ATPase activity via over-expression of the ATP6V1C1 gene. Oral Oncol 2007; 44:193-9.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinomas represent more than 90% of all head and neck cancers, and comprise about 4% of all malignancies in western countries. Tumor cell mobility related to increasing intracellular pH results in impaired proliferation and metastasis, suggesting an important role of pH regulation in solid cancer tumorigenesis. The mechanism of physiological pH regulation has been shown to be activated in several solid tumors through constitutive activation of the ATPase complex. How cells regulate this mechanism has not been elucidated in human cancer in detail. The present study, using expression profiling by cDNA array analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, identified the V-ATPase system as a significant regulatory mechanism. ATP6V1C1 was the most strongly over-expressed gene in oral squamous cell carcinoma at the mRNA level compared to other genes of the V-ATPase complex. These findings provide evidence that intracellular pH regulation is mainly controlled by expression of a single gene, ATP6V1C1, notwithstanding the possible action of other secondary regulatory factors.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) in the plasma membrane of a variety of cells serves as an acid-secreting pathway, and its activity is closely related to cellular functions. Massive proton secretion often leads to electrolyte disturbances in the vicinity of the cell and may in turn affect the activity of the V-ATPase. We characterized, for the first time, the proton currents mediated by plasmalemmal V-ATPase in murine osteoclast-like cells and investigated its activity over a wide range of pH gradients across the membrane (DeltapH = extracellular pH - intracellular pH). The V-ATPase currents were identified as outward H(+) currents and were dependent on ATP and sensitive to the inhibitors bafilomycin A(1) and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Although H(+) was transported uphill, the electrochemical gradient for H(+) affected the current. The currents were increased by elevating DeltapH and depolarization, and were reduced by lowering DeltapH and hyperpolarization. Elevation of extracellular Ca(2+) (5-40 mm) diminished the currents in a dose-dependent manner and made the voltage dependence more marked. Extracellular Mg(2+) mimicked the inhibition. With 40 mm Ca(2+), the currents decreased to < 40% at 0 mV and to < 10% at about -80 mV. Increases in the intracellular Ca(2+) (0.5-5 microm) did not affect the current. The data suggest that acid secretion through the plasmalemmal V-ATPase is regulated by a combination of the pH gradient, the membrane potential and the extracellular divalent cations. In osteoclasts, the activity-dependent accumulation of acids and Ca(2+) in the closed extracellular compartment might serve as negative feedback signals for regulating the V-ATPase.

Abstract
V-ATPases are multimeric proton pumps. The 100-kDa "a" subunit is encoded by four isoforms (a1-a4) in mammals and two (Vph1p and Stv1p) in yeast. a3 is enriched in osteoclasts and is essential for bone resorption, whereas a4 is expressed in the distal nephron and acidifies urine. Mutations in human a3 and a4 result in osteopetrosis and distal renal tubular acidosis, respectively. Human a3 (G405R and R444L) and a4 (P524L and G820R) mutations were recreated in the yeast ortholog Vph1p, a3 (G424R and R462L), and a4 (W520L and G812R). Mutations in a3 resulted in wild type vacuolar acidification and growth on media containing 4 mM ZnCl2, 200 mM CaCl2, or buffered to pH 7.5 with V-ATPase hydrolytic and pumping activity decreased by 30-35%. Immunoblots confirmed wild type levels for V-ATPase a, A, and B subunits on vacuolar membranes. a4 G812R resulted in defective growth on selective media with V-ATPase hydrolytic and pumping activity decreased by 83-85% yet with wild type levels of a, A, and B subunits on vacuolar membranes. The a4 W520L mutation had defective growth on selective media with no detectable V-ATPase activity and reduced expression of a, A, and B subunits. The a4 W520L mutation phenotypes were dominant negative, as overexpression of wild type yeast a isoforms, Vph1p, or Stv1p, did not restore growth. However, deletion of endoplasmic reticulum assembly factors (Vma12p, Vma21p, and Vma22p) partially restored a and B expression. That a4 W520L affects both Vo and V1 subunits is a unique phenotype for any V-ATPase subunit mutation and supports the concerted pathway for V-ATPase assembly in vivo.

Abstract
Circulating leukocytes have a round cell shape and roll along vessel walls. However, metabolic disorders can lead them to adhere to the endothelium and spread (flatten). We studied the metabolic regulation of adhesion, spreading and intracellular pH (pHi) of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) upon adhesion to fibronectin-coated substrata. Resting neutrophils adhered and spread on fibronectin. An increase in pHi accompanied neutrophil spreading. Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation or inhibition of P- and F-type ATPases affected neither neutrophil spreading nor pHi. Inhibition of glucose metabolism or V-ATPase impaired neutrophil spreading, blocked the increase in the pHi and induced extrusion of membrane tubulovesicular extensions (cytonemes), anchoring cells to substrata. Omission of extracellular Na(+) and inhibition of chloride channels caused a similar effect. We propose that these tubulovesicular extensions represent protrusions of exocytotic trafficking, supplying the plasma membrane of neutrophils with ion exchange mechanisms and additional membrane for spreading. Glucose metabolism and V-type ATPase could affect fusion of exocytotic trafficking with the plasma membrane, thus controlling neutrophil adhesive state and pHi. Cl(-) efflux through chloride channels and Na(+) influx seem to be involved in the regulation of the V-ATPase by carrying out charge compensation for the proton-pumping activity and through V-ATPase in regulation of neutrophil spreading and pHi.
