Abstract
Cellular dielectric spectroscopy (CDS) provides realtime, label-free, universal measurements, enabling comprehensive pharmacological evaluation of cell surface receptors in living cells. The sensitivity of the measurement allows monitoring of ligand-mediated activation of endogenous receptors, therefore generating physiologically relevant data. Activation of receptors results in CDS response profiles that are characteristic of main subsets of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) within a cell line. This allows cluster analysis of response profiles that may be used in several important applications, which include identification of the G-protein coupling of orphan GPCRs and the cataloging of active endogenous receptors in cells. In this study, CDS technology is used in the pharmacological evaluation of multiple receptors in many cell types, including primary cells. Specifically, data is presented demonstrating hit confirmation, receptor selectivity analysis, ligand potency, and Schild analysis of receptor-selective antagonists. CDS results compare favorably to other cell-based assays, and the robustness and reproducibility of CDS assays are reflected by low assay coefficient of variation (CVs) and reliable Z'-scores of the data. Because CDS requires no stable or transiently transfected cells or special reagents, assay development and data acquisition is simple and fast. The ease of use, universality, and label-free nature of the CDS-based platform make it well suited to secondary screening applications in drug discovery.

Abstract
The H(+) concentration in human blood is kept within very narrow limits, ~40 nmol/L, despite the fact that dietary metabolism generates acid and base loads that are added to the systemic circulation throughout the life of mammals. One of the primary functions of the kidney is to maintain the constancy of systemic acid-base chemistry. The kidney has evolved the capacity to regulate blood acidity by performing three key functions: (i) reabsorb HCO3(-) that is filtered through the glomeruli to prevent its excretion in the urine; (ii) generate a sufficient quantity of new HCO3(-) to compensate for the loss of HCO3(-) resulting from dietary metabolic H(+) loads and loss of HCO3(-) in the urea cycle; and (iii) excrete HCO3(-) (or metabolizable organic anions) following a systemic base load. The ability of the kidney to perform these functions requires that various cell types throughout the nephron respond to changes in acid-base chemistry by modulating specific ion transport and/or metabolic processes in a coordinated fashion such that the urine and renal vein chemistry is altered appropriately. The purpose of the article is to provide the interested reader with a broad review of a field that began historically ~60 years ago with whole animal studies, and has evolved to where we are currently addressing questions related to kidney acid-base regulation at the single protein structure/function level.

A Comparative Study of Impedance versus Optical Label-Free Systems Relative to Labelled Assays in a Predominantly Gi Coupled GPCR (C5aR) Signalling. BIOSENSORS 2012; 2:273-90.

Abstract
Profiling ligand function on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) typically involves using transfected cells over-expressing a target of interest, a labelled ligand, and intracellular secondary messenger reporters. In contrast, label-free assays are sensitive enough to allow detection in native cells, which may provide a more physiologically relevant readout. Here, we compare four agonists (native agonists, a peptide full agonist and a peptide partial agonist) that stimulate the human inflammatory GPCR C5aR. The receptor was challenged when present in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) versus stably transfected human C5aR-CHO cells. Receptor activation was compared on label-free optical and impedance biosensors and contrasted with results from two traditional reporter assays. The rank order of potencies observed across label-free and pathway specific assays was similar. However, label-free read outs gave consistently lower potency values in both native and transfected cells. Relative to pathway-specific assays, these technologies measure whole-cell responses that may encompass multiple signalling events, including down-regulatory events, which may explain the potency discrepancies observed. These observations have important implications for screening compound libraries against GPCR targets and for selecting drug candidates for in vivo assays.

Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton is involved in a multitude of cellular responses besides providing structural support. While the role of the actin cytoskeleton in cellular processes such as trafficking and motility has been extensively studied, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton upon signaling by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represents a relatively unexplored area. The G-protein coupled receptor superfamily is an important protein family in mammals, involved in signal transduction across membranes. G-protein coupled receptors act as major signaling hubs and drug targets. The serotonin(1A) receptor is a representative member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily and plays a crucial role in the generation and modulation of various cognitive, developmental and behavioral functions. In order to monitor the changes in the actin cytoskeleton upon serotonin(1A) receptor signaling in a quantitative manner, we developed an approach based on high magnification imaging of F-actin in cells, followed by image reconstruction. Our results suggest that the actin cytoskeleton is reorganized in response to serotonin(1A) receptor signaling. In addition, we show that reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is strongly dependent on adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate level, and is mediated by the activation of protein kinase A. Our results are consistent with the possibility of a feedback mechanism involving the actin cytoskeleton, adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate level and the serotonin(1A) receptor.

Abstract
Luminal acidification in the epididymis is critical for sperm maturation and storage. Clear cells express the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) in their apical membrane and are major contributors to proton secretion. We showed that this process is regulated via recycling of V-ATPase-containing vesicles. We now report that RhoA and its effector ROCKII are enriched in rat epididymal clear cells. In addition, cortical F-actin was detected beneath the apical membrane and along the lateral membrane of "resting" clear cells using a pan-actin antibody or phalloidin-TRITC. In vivo luminal perfusion of the cauda epididymal tubule with the ROCK inhibitors Y27632 (10-30 μM) and HA1077 (30 μM) or with the cell-permeable Rho inhibitor Clostridium botulinum C3 transferase (3.75 μg/ml) induced the apical membrane accumulation of V-ATPase and extension of V-ATPase-labeled microvilli in clear cells. However, these newly formed microvilli were devoid of ROCKII. In addition, Y27632 (30 μM) or HA1077 (30 μM) decreased the ratio of F-actin to G-actin detected by Western blot analysis in epididymal epithelial cells, and Y27632 also decreased the ratio of F-actin to G-actin in clear cells isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting from B1-enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) transgenic mice. These results provide evidence that depolymerization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton via inhibition of RhoA or its effector ROCKII favors the recruitment of V-ATPase from the cytosolic compartment into the apical membrane in clear cells. In addition, our data suggest that the RhoA-ROCKII pathway is not locally involved in the elongation of apical microvilli. We propose that inhibition of RhoA-ROCKII might be part of the intracellular signaling cascade that is triggered upon agonist-induced apical membrane V-ATPase accumulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal tubule cells have specialized apical membranes with microvilli that provide an extensive surface area for unidirectional transport of solute from lumen to blood. The major structural solute component is F-actin, which interacts with transmembrane proteins, including ion transport molecules related to normal absorptive and secretory functions. Our study was to evaluate F-actin and fluid absorption (Jv) in proximal tubules after exposure to preservation solutions. METHODS In vitro microperfusion technique and immunohistochemistry analysis. RESULTS 1. Absorptions were similar in 1- and 24-hour-preserved tubules, as well as in fresh tubules. The exception was tubules for 24 hours in Euro-Collins solution, which did not show absorption, suggesting that it was affected. 2. Fluorescence intensity of actin tubules preserved for 1 hour in both solutions showed similar values to each other and to the control group; tubules preserved for 24 hours in both solutions were similar to each other, although statistically different than the control group and those preserved for 1 hour in Belzer (UW) solution. CONCLUSION There were differences among groups in the distribution of F-actin; Jv values were different for 24-hour preservation in each solution, whereas fluorescence intensity was similar in both 24-hour solutions. Thus, actin cytoskeleton was not responsible for it, because 24-hour preservation in UW showed Jv results comparable to the control group.

Abstract
Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) influences numerous functions in the gastrointestinal tract. We previously demonstrated that 5-HT treatment of Caco-2 cells inhibited Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE) and Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activities via distinct signaling mechanisms. Since regulation of several ion transporters such as NHE3 is influenced by intact cytoskeleton, we hypothesized that 5-HT modifies actin cytoskeleton and/or brush-border membrane architecture via involvement of signaling pathways. Ultrastructural analysis showed that 5-HT (0.1 muM, 1 h) treatment of Caco-2 cells caused the apical membrane to assume a convex dome shape that was associated with shortening of microvilli. To examine whether these cellular architecture changes are cytoskeleton driven, we analyzed actin cytoskeleton by fluorescence microscopy. 5-HT induced basal stress fibers with prominent cortical actin filaments via 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptor subtypes. This induction was partially attenuated by chelation of intracellular Ca(2+) and PKCalpha inhibition (Go6976). In vitro assays revealed that PKCalpha interacted with actin and this association was increased by 5-HT. Our data provide novel evidence that 5-HT-induced signaling via 5-HT3/4 receptor subtypes to cause Ca(2+) and PKCalpha-dependent regulation of actin cytoskeleton may play an important role in modulation of ion transporters that contribute to pathophysiology of diarrheal conditions associated with elevated levels of 5-HT.

Abstract
Analyzing the dynamics of membrane proteins in the context of cellular signaling represents a challenging problem in contemporary cell biology. Lateral diffusion of lipids and proteins in the cell membrane is known to be influenced by the cytoskeleton. In this work, we explored the role of the actin cytoskeleton on the mobility of the serotonin(1A) (5-HT(1A)) receptor, stably expressed in CHO cells, and its implications in signaling. FRAP analysis of 5-HT(1A)R-EYFP shows that destabilization of the actin cytoskeleton induced by either CD or elevation of cAMP levels mediated by forskolin results in an increase in the mobile fraction of the receptor. The increase in the mobile fraction is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the signaling efficiency of the receptor. Interestingly, with increasing concentrations of CD used, the increase in the mobile fraction exhibited a correlation of approximately 0.95 with the efficiency in ligand-mediated signaling of the receptor. Radioligand binding and G-protein coupling of the receptor were found to be unaffected upon treatment with CD. Our results suggest that signaling by the serotonin(1A) receptor is correlated with receptor mobility, implying thereby that the actin cytoskeleton could play a regulatory role in receptor signaling. These results may have potential significance in the context of signaling by GPCRs in general and in the understanding of GPCR-cytoskeleton interactions with respect to receptor signaling in particular.

Abstract
The sodium-phosphate cotransporter 2a (NPT2a) is the principal phosphate transporter expressed in the brush border of renal proximal tubules and is downregulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) through an endocytic mechanism. Apical membrane expression of NPT2a is dependent on interactions with the sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF-1). An LLC-PK1 renal cell line stably expressing the PTH receptor (PTH1R) and NHERF-1, termed B28-N1, fails to functionally express NPT2a. In B28-N1 cells, NHERF-1 and NPT2a are inappropriately localized to the cytoplasm. Ezrin, in the activated state, is capable at linking NHERF-1-assembled complexes to the actin cytoskeleton. Early-passage LLC-PK1 cells stably transfected with either empty vector or wild-type ezrin express a comparable level of the active, T567 phosphorylated form of ezrin and are capable of functionally expressing NPT2a. Colocalization of the PTH1R, NPT2a, and ezrin exists and is prominently associated with actin-containing microvilli in apical domains of these cells. Upon PTH treatment, the PTH1R, NPT2a, NHERF-1, and ezrin colocalize to endocytic vesicles and NPT2a-dependent phosphate uptake is markedly inhibited. LLC-PK1 cells expressing the constitutively active ezrin (T567D) display enhanced NPT2a functional expression and PTH-mediated regulation of phosphate. Expression of a dominant-negative ezrin, consisting of the NH(2)-terminal half of the protein, markedly disrupts NPT2a-dependent phosphate uptake. PTH does not appear to alter ezrin phosphorylation at T567. Instead, PTH perhaps initiates NPT2a endocytosis by inducing reorganization of the actin-containing microvilli in a process that is blocked by the actin-stabilizing compound jasplakinolide.

Abstract
In the epididymis, low luminal bicarbonate and acidic pH maintain sperm quiescent during maturation and storage. The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) in epididymal clear cells plays a major role in luminal acidification. We have shown previously that cAMP, luminal alkaline pH, and activation of the bicarbonate-regulated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) induce V-ATPase apical accumulation in these cells, thereby stimulating proton secretion into the epididymal lumen. Here we examined whether protein kinase A (PKA) is involved in this response. Confocal immunofluorescence labeling on rat epididymis perfused in vivo showed that at luminal acidic pH (6.5), V-ATPase was distributed between short apical microvilli and subapical endosomes. The specific PKA activator N(6)-monobutyryl-3'-5'-cyclic monophosphate (6-MB-cAMP, 1 mM) induced elongation of apical microvilli and accumulation of V-ATPase in these structures. The PKA inhibitor myristoylated-PKI (mPKI, 10 microM) inhibited the apical accumulation of V-ATPase induced by 6-MB-cAMP. Perfusion at pH 6.5 with 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-2-O-methyl-cAMP (8CPT-2-O-Me-cAMP; 10 microM), an activator of the exchange protein activated by cAMP (Epac), did not induce V-ATPase apical accumulation. When applied at a higher concentration (100 microM), 8CPT-2-O-Me-cAMP induced V-ATPase apical accumulation, but this effect was completely inhibited by mPKI, suggesting crossover effects on the PKA pathway with this compound at high concentrations. Importantly, the physiologically relevant alkaline pH-induced apical V-ATPase accumulation was completely inhibited by pretreatment with mPKI. We conclude that direct stimulation of PKA activity by cAMP is necessary and sufficient for the alkaline pH-induced accumulation of V-ATPase in clear cell apical microvilli.

Abstract
Exposure to an acid load increases apical membrane Na+/H+ antiporter (NHE3) activity, a process that involves exocytic trafficking of the transporter to the apical membrane. We have previously shown that an intact microfilament structure is required for this exocytic process (Yang X, Amemiya M, Peng Y, Moe OW, Preisig PA, Alpern RJ. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 279: C410–C419, 2000). The present studies demonstrate that acid-induced stress fiber formation is required for stimulation of NHE3 activity. Formation of stress fibers is associated with acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and increases in protein abundance of two focal adhesion proteins, p125FAK and paxillin. The Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 completely blocks acid-induced stress fiber formation and the increases in apical membrane NHE3 abundance and activity, but it has no effect on acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK or paxillin. Herbimycin A completely blocks acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin but only partially blocks stress fiber formation and NHE3 activation. These studies demonstrate that Rho kinase mediates acid-induced stress fiber formation, which is required for NHE3 exocytosis, and increases in NHE3 activity. Acid-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion proteins p125FAK and paxillin is not Rho kinase dependent. Thus these two acid-mediated effects are associated, yet independent processes.

Abstract
NHE3 is the brush-border (BB) Na+/H+exchanger of small intestine, colon, and renal proximal tubule which is involved in large amounts of neutral Na+absorption. NHE3 is a highly regulated transporter, being both stimulated and inhibited by signaling that mimics the postprandial state. It also undergoes downregulation in diarrheal diseases as well as changes in renal disorders. For this regulation, NHE3 exists in large, multiprotein complexes in which it associates with at least nine other proteins. This review deals with short-term regulation of NHE3 and the identity and function of its recognized interacting partners and the multiprotein complexes in which NHE3 functions.

Abstract
AIM To elucidate the cellular events that results in inhibition of Na(+), H(+) exchanger type 1 (NHE1) by hypotonicity. METHODS Intracellular pH (pH(i)) was measured in biliary epithelial cells, with the pH-sensitive fluorochrome 2',7'-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) using a spectrophotometer. Regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was analysed from confocal images. Changes in NHE1 membrane content were visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy after transfection of Mz-Cha-1 cells with a NHE1-cMyc fusion protein. RESULTS In Mz-Cha-1 cells hypotonicity (-80 mmol L(-1) NaCl) inhibited endogenous Na(+), H(+) exchange. Tyrosine and serine kinase inhibitors were incapable to prevent inhibition. As several signalling pathways influence Na(+), H(+) exchange, we tested the effect of the Ca(++), Calmodulin, protein kinase C or the cAMP, protein kinase A system on inhibition of Na(+), H(+) exchange by hypotonic challenge, but neither system was involved. In contrast, cytoskeleton did influence the effect of hypotonicity. Inhibition of microtubule polymerization by colchicine prevented inhibition of NHE1, and also restored Na(+), H(+) exchange kinetics. Specific inhibition of Src kinases with PP2, attenuated pH(i) recovery rate from 1.93 +/- 0.16 pH units min(-1) (normotonic environment) to 1.02 +/- 0.50 pH units min(-1) (hypotonic environment). Membrane staining of NHE1-cMyc fusion protein was maintained after hypotonic exposure in colchicine pre-treated cells as was RVD. Microfilament inhibition by cytochalasin preserved NHE1 activity. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3'-kinase was unable to restore Na(+), H(+) exchange activity. CONCLUSION We conclude that regulation of Na(+), H(+) exchange during RVD is mediated by cytoskeletal elements. This receptor independent pathway is regulated by Src.

Abstract
The sodium-hydrogen exchange regulatory factor 1 (NHERF-1/EBP50) interacts with the C terminus of several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We examined the role of NHERF-1 and the cytoskeleton on the distribution, dynamics, and trafficking of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR; a type A receptor), the parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R; type B), and the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR; type C) using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, total internal reflection fluorescence, and image correlation spectroscopy. beta(2)AR bundles were observed only in cells that expressed NHERF-1, whereas the PTH1R was localized to bundles that parallel stress fibers independently of NHERF-1. The CaSR was never observed in bundles. NHERF-1 reduced the diffusion of the beta(2)AR and the PTH1R. The addition of ligand increased the diffusion coefficient and the mobile fraction of the PTH1R. Isoproterenol decreased the immobile fraction but did not affect the diffusion coefficient of the beta(2)AR. The diffusion of the CaSR was unaffected by NHERF-1 or the addition of calcium. NHERF-1 reduced the rate of ligand-induced internalization of the PTH1R. This phenomenon was accompanied by a reduction of the rate of arrestin binding to PTH1R in ligand-exposed cells. We conclude that some GPCRs, such as the beta(2)AR, are attached to the cytoskeleton primarily via the binding of NHERF-1. Others, such as the PTH1R, bind the cytoskeleton via several interacting proteins, one of which is NHERF-1. Finally, receptors such as the CaSR do not interact with the cytoskeleton in any significant manner. These interactions, or the lack thereof, govern the dynamics and trafficking of the receptor.

Abstract
Bile acid malabsorption has been shown to be associated with diarrhea in cases such as ileal resection Crohn's disease of the ileum, and radiation enteritis. The mechanisms of bile acid-induced diarrhea are not fully understood. Although the induction of colonic chloride secretion in response to bile acids has been extensively investigated, to date the direct effect of bile acids on intestinal chloride absorption has not been well defined. Therefore, the current studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of bile acids on the apical Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange process utilizing Caco2 monolayers as an in vitro cellular model. Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activity was measured as DIDS-sensitive pH gradient-driven (36)Cl uptake. The results are summarized as follows: (i) short-term exposure (20 min) of Caco2 cells to taurodeoxycholate (TDC; 200 microM) and glycochenodeoxycholate (GCDC; 200 microM) acids significantly inhibited apical Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange (by approximately 60-70%); (ii) the Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM blocked the inhibition by TDC; (iii) the reduction in Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange by TDC was reversed by the PKC inhibitor, chelerythrine chloride; (iv) functional and inhibitor studies indicated that TDC induced inhibition of Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange was mediated via the activation of the PKC beta I isoform; (v) the effect of TDC on apical Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange was completely blocked by the PI3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 (5 microM); and (vi) the PKA inhibitor, RpcAMP, had no effect on TDC induced inhibition of Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange. In conclusion, our studies provide direct evidence for inhibition of human intestinal apical Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activity by bile acids via Ca(2+)-, PI3 kinase-, and PKC beta I-dependent pathways in Caco2 cells.

Abstract
The CellKey (MDS Sciex, South San Francisco, CA) system enables comprehensive pharmacological evaluation of cell surface receptors, including G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and tyrosine kinase receptors, using adherent and suspension cell lines and primary cells. A unique application enabled by the ability of the CellKey system to reliably quantify activation of endogenous receptors is receptor panning. This application allows investigators to easily screen disease-relevant cell types for functionally active target receptors by treating cells with a panel of receptor-specific ligands. Receptor panning of multiple cell types including Chinese hamster ovary, human embryonic kidney 293, HeLa, U-937, U-2 OS, and TE671 cells resulted in the identification of many functionally active, differently coupled endogenous GPCRs, some of which have not been previously documented in the literature. Upon detecting GPCR activation in live cells, unique cellular dielectric spectroscopy (CDS) response profiles are generated within minutes that reflect the signaling pathways utilized and have been shown to be characteristic of Gs, Gq, and Gi GPCRs. The fact that the CDS response profiles are predictive of the G-protein coupling mechanism of the receptor was demonstrated by using examples of subtype-selective agonists/antagonists to identify the subtypes of the endogenous histamine and beta-adrenergic receptors expressed in U-2 OS cells. A direct correlation is shown between receptor subtype G-protein coupling and CDS response profile. In addition, complex pharmacology, including detection of partial agonism and Schild analysis for endogenous receptors, is presented. The CellKey system allows investigators to conduct studies using endogenously expressed receptors to generate data that are physiologically relevant and in disease context.

Abstract
The Na(+)-driven Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger (NCBE) plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular pH (pH(i)). We previously identified two variants of NCBE from rat brain of which the variant with a carboxyterminal PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) motif (rb2NCBE) colocalized with the actin cytoskeleton. Increased rb2NCBE activity by PKA inhibition and reduction by forskolin and cAMP agonist suggest PKA regulation of NCBE. Disruption of actin filaments also decreased rb2NCBE activity. EBP50 and FLAG-rb2NCBE were reciprocally co-immunoprecipitated from rb2NCBE transfected cells. It is concluded that NCBE activity is inhibited by PKA and depends on the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton within a multiprotein complex at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that accessory proteins that interact with the apical Na(+)/H+ exchanger NHE3 are a vital part of the dynamic nature of the Na(+)/H+ exchanger regulation. We have identified MAST205, a microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase with a molecular mass of 205 kDa that interacts with NHE3. MAST205 contains a S/T kinase domain and a PDZ domain that mediates interaction with NHE3. Northern blot analysis showed that MAST205 is highly expressed in human and rat kidney. Expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells showed that MAST205 is predominantly expressed in the apical membrane of the cells. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the presence of MAST205 at the apical region of the renal proximal tubules. Heterologous expression of MAST205 in OK cells inhibited endogenous NHE3 activity, and this inhibition required the presence of the kinase domain of MAST205, since deletion of the kinase domain or a dominant-negative mutant of MAST205 did not affect the activity of NHE3. Consistent with these results, we found that MAST205 phosphorylated NHE3 under in vitro conditions. However, overexpression of MAST205 did not affect expression of NHE3 proteins, suggesting that the effect of MAST205 was not mediated by a decrease in NHE3 expression. These findings suggest that MAST205 regulates NHE3 activity and, although the precise mechanism is yet to be determined, MAST205 appears to inhibit NHE3 activity through a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Erythrocytes play a key role in human and vertebrate metabolism. Tissue O2 supply is regulated by both hemoglobin (Hb)-O2 affinity and erythrocyte rheology, a key determinant of tissue perfusion. Oxygenation-deoxygenation transitions of Hb may lead to re-organization of the cytoskeleton and signalling pathways activation/deactivation in an O2-dependent manner. Deoxygenated Hb binds to the cytoplasmic domain of the anion exchanger band 3, which is anchored to the cytoskeleton, and is considered a major mechanism underlying the oxygenation-dependence of several erythrocyte functions. This work discusses the multiple modes of Hb-cytoskeleton interactions. In addition, it reviews the effects of Mg2+, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, NO, shear stress and Ca2+, all factors accompanying the oxygenation-deoxygenation cycle in circulating red cells. Due to the extensive literature on the subject, the data discussed here, pertain mainly to human erythrocytes whose O2 affinity is modulated by 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, ectothermic vertebrate erythrocytes that use ATP, and to bird erythrocytes that use inositol pentaphosphate.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids have important effects on renal function, including the modulation of renal acidification by the major proximal tubular Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, NHE3. While the chronic effect of glucocorticoids is considered to be primarily at the transcriptional level, with increases in NHE3 mRNA and protein expression driving increased transport activity, the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids activate NHE3 in an acute setting have not been investigated. Previous studies have shown that a glucocorticoid-stimulated increase in NHE3 activity can occur before any detectable change in NHE3 mRNA. The present study examines the acute effects of glucocorticoids on NHE3 using opossum kidney (OKP) cells as a cell model. In OKP cells, total NHE3 protein abundance was not changed by 3 h of treatment with dexamethasone (10(-6) M). However, the biotin-accessible fraction representing NHE3 at the apical membrane as well as Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity measured fluorimetrically using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF-AM were significantly increased. These effects were not prevented by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. NHE3 insertion (biotinylatable NHE3 after sulfo-NHS-acetate blockade) was stimulated by dexamethasone incubation, with or without cycloheximide. The rate of NHE3 endocytic retrieval, assessed either by the avidin protection assay (early endocytosis) or by the sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (MesNa) cleavage assay (early and late endocytosis), was not affected by dexamethasone. These findings suggest that trafficking plays a key role in the acute stimulation of NHE3 by glucocorticoids, with exocytosis being the major contributor to the glucocorticoid-induced rapid increase in cell surface NHE3 protein abundance and Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity.

Abstract
The sodium/hydrogen exchange (NHE) gene family plays an integral role in neutral sodium absorption in the mammalian intestine. The NHE gene family is comprised of nine members that are categorized by cellular localization (i.e., plasma membrane or intracellular). In the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of multiple species, there are resident plasma membrane isoforms including NHE1 (basolateral) and NHE2 (apical), recycling isoforms (NHE3), as well as intracellular isoforms (NHE6, 7, 9). NHE3 recycles between the endosomal compartment and the apical plasma membrane and functions in both locations. NHE3 regulation occurs during normal digestive processes and is often inhibited in diarrheal diseases. The C terminus of NHE3 binds multiple regulatory proteins to form large protein complexes that are involved in regulation of NHE3 trafficking to and from the plasma membrane, turnover number, and protein phosphorylation. NHE1 and NHE2 are not regulated by trafficking. NHE1 interacts with multiple regulatory proteins that affect phosphorylation; however, whether NHE1 exists in large multi-protein complexes is unknown. Although intestinal and colonic sodium absorption appear to involve at least NHE2 and NHE3, future studies are necessary to more accurately define their relative contributions to sodium absorption during human digestion and in pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
The sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) isoform is the major regulated sodium transporter in the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney. Study of the regulation of NHE3 by hormonal stimuli has identified a number of PDZ adaptor proteins that form an apical/subapical membrane scaffold that binds NHE3 and facilitates down-regulation of its activity in response to cAMP and activation of protein kinase A. The precise relation of proximal tubule adaptor proteins such as sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF-1), NHERF-2, and PDZ domain-containing-protein-1 (PDZK1) with each other and with protein targets such as NHE3 has been evolving with the development of specific reagents and genetically altered animals. In this review, we trace the discovery of NHERF-1 and NHERF-2, and update our current understanding of the relation between these proteins and the regulation and trafficking of NHE3.

Abstract
The epithelial brush border (BB) Na+/H+ exchanger, NHE3, plays a major role in transcellular Na+ absorption in the renal proximal tubule. NHE3 activity is rapidly regulated by neurohumoral substances and growth factors via changes in its amount on the BB by a process partially involving vesicle trafficking. The PDZ domain-containing proteins, NHERF1/2, are scaffold proteins that link NHE3 to the actin cytoskeleton via their binding to both ezrin and NHE3. NHERF1/2 interact with both an internal C-terminal domain of NHE3 and the N-terminus of ezrin. We used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to study the effect of NHERF1/2 on NHE3 mobility in the brush border of opossum kidney (OK) proximal tubule cells. A confocal microscope was used to allow the selective study of apical membrane versus intracellular NHE3. A chimera of NHE3-EGFP was transiently expressed in OK cells and its lateral diffusion in the apical membrane was measured with FRAP and confocal microscopy at 37 degrees C. The contribution of intracellular NHE3-EGFP to recovery on the OK surface not directly over the juxtanuclear area (non-JN) was negligible as exposure to the water soluble crosslinker BS3 (10 mM) at 4 degrees C resulted in no recovery of this component of surface NHE3-EGFP after photobleaching. The mobile fraction (Mf) of apical NHE3-EGFP was 47.5+/-2.2%; the effective diffusion coefficient (Deff) was (2.2+/-0.3) x10(-10) cm2/second. Overexpression of NHERF2 in OK cells decreased the Mf to 29.1+/-3.1% without changing Deff. In the truncation mutant, NHE3585-EGFP (aa 1-585), which lacks the NHERF1/2 binding domain, Mf increased to 66.4+/-2.2%, with no change in Deff, whereas NHE3660-EGFP, which binds NHERF1/2, had Mf (48.3+/-3.0%) and Deff both similar to full-length NHE3. These results are consistent with the PDZ domain proteins NHERF1 and NHERF2 scaffolding NHE3 in macromolecular complexes in the apical membrane of OK cells under basal conditions, which limits the lateral mobility of NHE3. It is probable that this is one of the mechanisms by which NHERF1/2 affects rapid regulation of NHE3 by growth factors and neurohumoral mediators. By contrast, disrupting the actin cytoskeleton by latrunculin B treatment (0.05 microM, 30 minutes) reduced the NHE3 Mf (21.9+/-4.5%) without altering the Deff. Therefore the actin cytoskeleton, independently of NHERF1/2 binding, is necessary for apical membrane mobility of NHE3.

Abstract
The mouse blastocyst consists of the trophectoderm, the inner cell mass, and a fluid-filled cavity, the blastocoel. Formation and subsequent expansion of this cavity is important for further differentiation of the inner cell mass and successful implantation. Previous work provided evidence that vectorial transport of Na+ and CL- ions through the trophectoderm into the blastocoel generates an osmotic gradient that drives fluid across this epithelium. As the activity of the Na+ / H+ exchanger (NHE) has been implicated as the exchanger responsible for facilitating the transtrophectodermal Na+ flux, the functional role of NHE in mouse blastocoel development was determined. Embryos were cultured in the presence of subtype-specific NHE inhibitors to examine the role of NHEs in blastocoel development. When 2-cell stage embryos were treated continuously with a specific inhibitor of NHE-1, cariporide, the embryos passed beyond the 8-cell stage and became blastocysts. However, in the presence of a specific inhibitor of NHE-3, S3226, the 2-cell stage embryos developed to the morula stage but formation of the blastocyst were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Cariporide did not inhibit the formation of the blastocoel cavity from the morula stage whereas S3226 did inhibit that process. S3226 also reduced the rate of re-expansion of blastocysts collapsed by cytochalasin D upon transfer to the control medium. An immunofluorescence study showed that NHE-3 was detected in the vicinity of the cell membrane of the trophectoderm, especially in the apical cell margins of the trophectoderm. These results suggest that NHE-3 is likely involved in blastocyst formation.

Abstract
In the renal medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL), inhibiting the basolateral NHE1 Na(+)/H(+) exchanger with amiloride or nerve growth factor (NGF) results secondarily in inhibition of the apical NHE3 Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, thereby decreasing transepithelial HCO3- absorption. MTALs from rats were studied by in vitro microperfusion to identify the mechanism underlying cross-talk between the two exchangers. The basolateral addition of 10 microM amiloride or 0.7 nM NGF decreased HCO3- absorption by 27-32%. Jasplakinolide, which stabilizes F-actin, or latrunculin B, which disrupts F-actin, decreased basal HCO3- absorption by 30% and prevented the inhibition by amiloride or NGF. Jasplakinolide had no effect on HCO3- absorption in tubules bathed with amiloride or a Na(+)-free bath to inhibit NHE1. Jasplakinolide and latrunculin B did not prevent inhibition of HCO3- absorption by vasopressin or stimulation by hyposmolality, factors that regulate HCO3- absorption through primary effects on apical Na(+)/H(+) exchange. Treatment of MTALs with amiloride or NGF for 15 min decreased polymerized actin with no change in total cell actin, as assessed both by fluorescence microscopy and by actin Triton X-100 solubility. Jasplakinolide prevented amiloride-induced actin remodeling. Vasopressin, which inhibits HCO3- absorption by an amount similar to that observed with amiloride and NGF but does not act via NHE1, did not affect cellular F-actin content. These results indicate that basolateral NHE1 regulates apical NHE3 and HCO3- absorption in the MTAL by controlling the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating membrane protein trafficking is complex and depends on the cell type and protein being examined. Using the epididymis as a model system in which luminal acidification is crucial for sperm maturation and storage, we now report that modulation of the actin cytoskeleton by the calcium-activated actin-capping and -severing protein gelsolin plays a key role in regulating vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) recycling. Epididymal clear cells contain abundant V-ATPase in their apical pole, and an increase in their cell-surface V-ATPase expression correlates with an increase in luminal proton secretion. We have shown that apical membrane accumulation of V-ATPase is triggered by an elevation in cAMP following activation of bicarbonate-regulated soluble adenylyl cyclase in response to alkaline luminal pH (Pastor-Soler, N., Beaulieu, V., Litvin, T. N., Da Silva, N., Chen, Y., Brown, D., Buck, J., Levin, L. R., and Breton, S. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 49523-49529). Here, we show that clear cells express high levels of gelsolin, indicating a potential role in the functional activity of these cells. When jasplakinolide was used to overcome the severing action of gelsolin by polymerizing actin, complete inhibition of the alkaline pH- and cAMP-induced apical membrane accumulation of V-ATPase was observed. Conversely, when gelsolin-mediated actin filament elongation was inhibited using a 10-residue peptide (PBP10) derived from the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-binding region (phosphoinositide-binding domain 2) of gelsolin, significant V-ATPase apical membrane mobilization was induced, even at acidic luminal pH. In contrast, the calcium chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester) and the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 inhibited the alkaline pH-induced V-ATPase apical accumulation. Thus, maintenance of the actin cytoskeleton in a depolymerized state by gelsolin facilitates calcium-dependent apical accumulation of V-ATPase in response to luminal pH alkalinization. Gelsolin is present in other cell types that express the V-ATPase in their plasma membrane and recycling vesicles, including kidney intercalated cells and osteoclasts. Therefore, modulation of the actin cortex by this severing and capping protein may represent a common mechanism by which these cells regulate their rate of proton secretion.

Abstract
We previously reported that Na+/H+exchanger type 3 (NHE3) and NaPi2 are acutely retracted from the proximal tubule (PT) microvilli (MV) during acute hypertension [high blood pressure (BP)] or parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment. By subcellular membrane fractionation, NHE3 and NaPi2 show indistinguishable redistribution patterns out of light-density into heavy-density membranes in response to either treatment consistent with a retraction from the apical MV to the intermicrovillar cleft region. This study aimed to examine the redistribution of PT NHE3 vs. NaPi2 by confocal and electron microscopy during high BP and during PTH treatment to determine whether their respective destinations overlap or are distinct. High-BP protocol: systolic BP was increased 50–60 mmHg by increasing peripheral resistance for 20 min; PTH protocol: rats were infused with 6.6 μg/kg iv of PTH followed by 0.1 μg·kg−1·min−1infusion for 1 h. For light microscopy, rats were infused with 25 mg of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) 10 min before kidney fixation. Kidney slices were dual labeled with either NHE3 or NaPi2 and either clathrin-coated vesicle adaptor protein AP2 or endosome marker HRP. The results demonstrate retraction of NHE3 from the MV to the base of MV during either high-BP or PTH treatment: NHE3 staining did not retract below the AP2-stained domain or to HRP-labeled endosomes in either model. In comparison, NaPi2 was retracted from MV to below the AP2-stained region in both models, a little colocalizing with HRP staining. At the electron microscopic level with immunogold labeling, during high BP NHE3 was concentrated in a distinct domain in the base of the MV while NaPi2 moved to endosomes. The results demonstrate that there are divergent routes of retraction of PT NHE3 and NaPi2 from the MV during acute hypertension or PTH treatment: NHE3 is not internalized but remains at the base of the MV while NaPi2 is internalized.

Abstract
We undertook a study of the mechanism by which rhesus monkey rotavirus (RRV) impairs the expression and enzyme activity of brush border-associated sucrase isomaltase (SI) in cultured, human, fully differentiated, intestinal Caco-2 cells. We provide evidence that the RRV-induced defects in the expression and enzyme activity of SI are not related to the previously observed, RRV-induced, Ca2+ -dependent, disassembly of the F-actin cytoskeleton. This conclusion is based on the facts that: (i) the intracellular Ca2+ blocker, BAPTA/AM, which antagonizes the RRV-induced increase in [Ca2+](i), fails to inhibit the RRV-induced decrease in SI expression and enzyme activity; and (ii) Jasplakinolide (JAS) treatment, known to stabilize actin filaments, had no effect on the RRV-induced decrease in SI expression. Results reported here demonstrate that the RRV-induced impairment in the expression and enzyme activity of brush border-associated SI results from a hitherto unknown mechanism involving PKA signalling. This conclusion is based on the observations that (i) intracellular cAMP was increased in RRV-infected cells and (ii) treatment of RRV-infected cells with PKA blockers resulted in the reappearance of apical SI expression, accompanied by the restoration of the enzyme activity at the brush border. In addition, in RRV-infected cells a twofold increase of phosphorylated form of cytokeratin 18 was observed after immunopurification and Western Blot analysis, which was antagonized by exposing the RRV-infected cells to the PKA blockers.

Abstract
Regulation of pH in the central nervous system is critical to normal brain function and response to pathophysiological conditions. Here we identify two novel variants of the sodium-driven chloride bicarbonate exchanger (NCBE) from brain. The developmental expression pattern seen by in situ hybridization for the 90-bp containing insert (insert A) reveals strong expression in spinal cord and brain beginning in embryonic development. High-level expression is seen in cerebellar Purkinje cells and principal cells in hippocampus. The variant missing a 39-bp insert at the 3' end (insert B) encodes a protein in which the deduced carboxyterminal three amino acids are replaced with a unique 21 amino acid stretch terminating in a PDZ motif. rb2NCBE, the PDZ motif-encoding variant, is more highly expressed in astrocytes than is rb1NCBE. Both variants are expressed at similar levels in neurons. Expression varies with age and cell type. The FLAG epitope was fused in-frame at the amino terminus and each variant was expressed using a retroviral vector to study subcellular localization. Both variants were associated with the plasma membrane, but rb2NCBE colocalized with actin filaments to a greater extent, suggesting the PDZ form may interact with the cytoskeleton, whereas rb1NCBE was more often seen in intracellular vesicles. The PDZ motif-containing variant was much more active in pH regulation, with the expected ionic dependence on Na+, HCO3- and Cl- when expressed in 3T3 cells. These results are a first step towards understanding the regulation of expression and activity of this transporter in the brain.

Abstract
NHERF-1, a protein adapter containing two tandem PDZ domains, was first identified as an essential cofactor required for the phosphorylation and downregulation of NHE3 activity in response to elevated intracellular cAMP. NHERF-1 contains multiple protein interaction domains, but the mechanism by which it binds NHE3 remains unknown. Yeast two-hybrid analyses demonstrated that the C-terminal sequence, STHM, of NHE3 constitutes a PDZ motif critical for its association with NHERF-1. In this assay, NHE3 bound both PDZ-I and PDZ-II when presented as isolated domains, but mutations of the individual PDZ domains in the full-length NHERF-1 suggested a significant preference of NHE3 for the PDZ-II domain. To investigate NHERF-1/NHE3 association in cells, NHERF-1 complexes were isolated from PS120 cells expressing hexahistidine-tagged NHERF-1 and NHE3 using nickel-NTA-agarose. In these experiments, mutating the C-terminal PDZ motif still allowed NHE3 binding to NHERF-1, suggesting the presence of additional mechanisms or components that stabilized a cellular NHE3/NHERF-1 complex. Transport assays in PS120 cells, however, showed that the C-terminal PDZ motif in NHE3 and a functional PDZ-II domain in NHERF-1 were required for maximal inhibition of sodium-hydrogen exchange in response to forskolin and 8-Br-cAMP. Together, the data suggested that the PDZ interaction between the NHE3 C-terminus and a NHERF-1 PDZ domain enhanced the regulation of sodium-hydrogen exchange by cAMP-elevating hormones.

Abstract
ABSTRACT. Albumin filtered by the glomerulus is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. We have shown previously that proteinuria stimulates the proximal tubular Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3) in rats. Activation of NHE3 may be a pathophysiologically important factor in the development of renal salt and water retention observed in the nephrotic syndrome. For examining whether albumin is a specific inducer of proximal tubular Na+/H+exchange and to determine the molecular mechanisms by which it regulates Na+/H+exchange, the effect of albumin on NHE3 in opossum kidney cells was studied. Albumin activated Na+/H+exchange in a time- and dose-dependent manner up to 100% in 48 h. In the early phase of stimulation (2 to 12 h), NHE3 activity was increased without changes in NHE3 protein and mRNA. At 24 h, increased NHE3 activity was accompanied by increase in cell surface NHE3 protein. The increase in surface NHE3 was associated with increased bidirectional trafficking of NHE3 protein between intracellular compartments and the cell surface. At 48 h, total cell NHE3 protein abundance and mRNA were increased as well. Whereas NHE3 translation was increased, NHE3 protein half-life remained unchanged. The effects of albumin on NHE3 protein abundance were modified by hydrocortisone in a complicated pattern. These results indicate that albumin directly regulates proximal tubular NHE3 at multiple levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Unlike the intestine of normal subjects, small-intestinal epithelia of cystic fibrosis patients and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein-null (CFTR(-)) mice do not respond to stimulation of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate with inhibition of electroneutral NaCl absorption. Because CFTR-mediated anion secretion has been associated with changes in crypt cell volume, we hypothesized that CFTR-mediated cell volume reduction in villus epithelium is required for intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate inhibition of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (primarily Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3) activity in the proximal small intestine. METHODS Transepithelial (22)Na flux across the jejuna of CFTR(+), CFTR(-), the basolateral membrane Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) co-transporter protein NKCC1(+), and NKCC1(-) mice were correlated with changes in epithelial cell volume of the midvillus region. RESULTS Stimulation of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate resulted in cessation of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-mediated Na(+) absorption (J(ms)(NHE)) in CFTR(+) jejunum but had no effect on J(ms)(NHE) across CFTR(-) jejunum. Cell volume indices indicated an approximately 30% volume reduction of villus epithelial cells in CFTR(+) jejunum but no changes in CFTR(-) epithelium after intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate stimulation. In contrast, cell shrinkage induced by hypertonic medium inhibited J(ms)(NHE) in both CFTR(+) and CFTR(-) mice. Bumetanide treatment to inhibit Cl(-) secretion by blockade of the Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) co-transporter, NKCC1, of stimulated CFTR(+) jejunum prevented maximal volume reduction of villus epithelium and recovered approximately 40% of J(ms)(NHE). Likewise, J(ms)(NHE) and cell volume were unaffected by intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate stimulation in NKCC1(-) jejuna. CONCLUSIONS These findings show a previously unrecognized role of functional CFTR expressed in villus epithelium: regulation of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3-mediated Na(+) absorption by alteration of epithelial cell volume.

Abstract
Low physiological concentrations of 17beta-estradiol increased the intracellular pH of rat aortic smooth muscle cells by a rapid nongenomic mechanism. This effect was due to stimulation of the Na+/H+ exchanger activity, measured using the intracellular pH-sensitive fluorescent probe 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein. The 17beta-estradiol gave rise to a bell-shaped dose response, with a maximum at 10-12 m and no significant effect at 10-9 m. The specificity of the effect was verified by the use of the Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor 5-(ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride and the lack of effect of the isomer 17alpha-estradiol. Inhibitors of the nuclear estrogen receptors, tamoxifen and ICI 182,780, completely prevented activation of the exchanger by 17beta-estradiol. The effect of low estrogen concentrations on the intracellular pH was mimicked by both norepinephrine and phenylephrine, suggesting a connection between the increase of intracellular pH and the muscle contraction process. The transduction mechanism for this nongenomic effect of estrogens did not involve modulation of the cAMP content, whereas inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, protein kinase C and MAPK pathways appear to play a role, as indicated by both pharmacological approaches and immunoblot experiments on protein kinase C translocation and ERK phosphorylation. These results for the first time provide evidence for a nongenomic effect of low physiological concentrations of 17beta-estradiol on intracellular pH that, together with other factors, may contribute to the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis in men and postmenopausal women and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Paradoxically, the lack of stimulation at high physiological estradiol levels could explain the protective effects found in premenopausal women.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The proximal tubule sodium/hydrogen exchanger continuously reabsorbs the bulk of the filtered sodium, controlling salt delivery to the distal nephron which is critical for tubuloglomerular feedback autoregulation and for fine control of salt excretion in the distal nephron. This review focuses on recent studies of the mechanisms of regulation of sodium transport in the proximal tubule, and addresses whether results from studies in proximal tubule cell lines are applicable to the proximal tubule in situ. RECENT FINDINGS Recent in-vivo studies provided evidence that sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 can move into and out of the apical microvilli accompanied by parallel changes in renal sodium transport: the exchanger is retracted from the microvilli in response to hypertension, parathyroid hormone or dopamine treatment and moved into the microvilli in response to sympathetic nervous system stimulation, puromycin aminonucleoside induced nephritic syndrome, and insulin treatment. Studies in cultured opossum kidney proximal tubule cells provided evidence for clathrin coated vesicle mediated, dynamin dependent, cytoskeleton dependent internalization of sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 from the surface to an endosomal pool in response to dopamine or parathyroid hormone. In the intact proximal tubule there is evidence for a two-step internalization process: (1) from villi to the intermicrovillar cleft region and (2) to a higher density membrane pool that may be either below the microvilli or deep in intermicrovillar clefts. Recent studies have described a significant inactive pool of the exchanger in the intermicrovillar region in vivo that may serve as a storage and recruitable pool. SUMMARY The molecular mechanisms responsible for increasing or decreasing sodium transport in the proximal tubule appear to include redistribution of sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 to or from the microvillar region. Detailed studies in cultured proximal tubule cell lines provide evidence for endocytosis and exocytosis of the exchanger dependent on cytoskeleton and clathrin coated vesicles. In vivo, the apical membrane is differentiated into discrete villar and intermicrovillar membrane domains and the intermicrovillar domain, not observed in cultured cells, may serve as a recruitable storage pool for sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein 4.1 is an adapter protein that links the actin cytoskeleton to various transmembrane proteins. These 4.1 proteins are encoded by four homologous genes, 4.1R, 4.1G, 4.1N, and 4.1B, which undergo complex alternative splicing. Here we performed a detailed characterization of the expression of specific 4.1 proteins in the mouse nephron. METHODS Distribution of renal 4.1 proteins was investigated by staining of paraformaldehyde-fixed mouse kidney sections with antibodies highly specific for each 4.1 protein. Major 4.1 splice forms, amplified from mouse kidney marathon cDNA, were expressed in transfected COS-7 cells in order to assign species of known exon composition to proteins detected in kidney. RESULTS A 105 kD 4.1R splice form, initiating at ATG-2 translation initiation site and lacking exon 16, but including exon 17B, was restricted to thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. A 95 kD 4.1N splice form, lacking exons 15 and 17D, was expressed in either descending or ascending thin limb of Henle's loop, distal convoluted tubule, and all regions of the collecting duct system. A major 108 kD 4.1B splice form, initiating at a newly characterized ATG translation initiation site, and lacking exons 15, 17B, and 21, was present only in Bowman's capsule and proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). There was no expression of 4.1G in kidney. CONCLUSION Distinct distribution of 4.1 proteins along the nephron suggests their involvement in targeting of selected transmembrane proteins in kidney epithelium and, therefore, in regulation of specific kidney functions.

Abstract
In isosmotic conditions, insulin stimulation of PI 3-K/Akt and p38 MAPK pathways in skeletal muscle inhibits Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) activity induced by the ERK1,2 MAPK pathway. Whether these signaling cascades contribute to NKCC regulation during osmotic challenge is unknown. Increasing osmolarity by 20 mosM with either glucose or mannitol induced NKCC-mediated (86)Rb uptake and water transport into rat soleus and plantaris skeletal muscle in vitro. This NKCC activity restored intracellular water. In contrast to mannitol, hyperosmolar glucose increased ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Glucose, but not mannitol, impaired insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and p38 MAPK in the plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively. Hyperosmolarity-induced NKCC activation was insensitive to insulin action and pharmacological inhibition of ERK1,2 and p38 MAPK pathways. Paradoxically, cAMP-producing agents, which stimulate NKCC activity in isosmotic conditions, suppressed hyperosmolar glucose- and mannitol-induced NKCC activity and prevented restoration of muscle cell volume in hyperosmotic media. These results indicate that NKCC activity helps restore muscle cell volume during hyperglycemia. Moreover, hyperosmolarity activates NKCC regulatory pathways that are insensitive to insulin inhibition.

Abstract
Mammalian Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs) are a family of integral membrane proteins that play central roles in sodium, acid-base, and cell volume homeostasis. The recently cloned NHE5 isoform is expressed predominantly in brain, but its functional and cellular properties are poorly understood. To facilitate its characterization, an epitope-tagged construct of NHE5 was ectopically expressed in nonneuronal and neuronal cells. In NHE-deficient Chinese hamster ovary AP-1 cells, NHE5 localized at the plasmalemma, but a significant fraction accumulated intracellularly in vesicles that concentrated in a juxtanuclear region. Similarly, in nerve growth factor-differentiated neuroendocrine PC12 cells and primary hippocampal neurons, immunolabeling of NHE5 was detected in endomembrane vesicles in the perinuclear region of the cell body but also along the processes. More detailed characterization in AP-1 cells using organelle-specific markers showed that NHE5 co-localized with internalized transferrin, a marker of recycling endosomes. Transient transfection of a dominant negative mutant of dynamin-1, which inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis, blocked uptake of transferrin as well as internalization of NHE5. Likewise, wortmannin inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, a lipid kinase implicated in endosomal traffic, induced coalescence of vesicles containing NHE5 and caused a pronounced inhibition of plasmalemmal Na+/H+ exchange. By contrast, disruption of the F-actin cytoskeleton with cytochalasin D increased cell surface NHE5 activity and abundance. These observations demonstrate that NHE5 is localized to the recycling endosomal pathway and is dynamically regulated by phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase and by the state of F-actin assembly.

Abstract
Mammalian Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE) mediate electroneutral countertransport of H(+) for Na(+) across the plasmalemmal and organellar membranes. They contribute to cellular and organellar pH and volume regulation and transepithelial Na(+) transport. The aim of this review is to illustrate the complex regulation of these transporters by focusing on the multiple mechanisms controlling the epithelial isoform, NHE3. A variety of agents and conditions (e.g., hormones, growth factors, cellular pH, and medium osmolarity) act in concert to achieve short-term and long-term regulation of this isoform. The underlying mechanism involves changes in the number of transporters on the cell surface and/or altered activity of the individual exchangers due to allosteric activation by intracellular protons, phosphorylation and interaction with accessory proteins and the cytoskeleton. A similar regulatory versatility probably applies to other NHE isoforms, and the lessons learned from studying members of the NHE family could serve as a useful reference when exploring the modes and levels of regulation of other transporters.
