Abstract
Human susceptibility to NaCl varies depending on temperature and pH, the molecular mechanisms of which remain unclear. The voltage-dependent chloride channel, transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4), is activated at approximately 40 °C and is suppressed at pH 5.5. As these are similar in character to human sensory evaluations, human TMC4 may be involved in human salt taste reception.

Apical CLC-2 in retinal pigment epithelium is crucial for survival of the outer retina. FASEB J 2021; 35:e21689.

Abstract
Knockout of the chloride channel protein 2 (CLC‐2; CLCN2) results in fast progressing blindness in mice. Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors undergo, in parallel, rapid, and profound morphological changes and degeneration. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy of the outer retina and electroretinography of the CLC‐2 KO mouse demonstrated normal morphology at postnatal day 2, followed by drastic changes in RPE and photoreceptor morphology and loss of vision during the first postnatal month. To investigate whether the RPE or the photoreceptors are the primary cause of the degeneration, we injected lentiviruses carrying HA‐tagged CLC‐2 with an RPE‐specific promotor in the subretinal space of CLC‐2‐KO mice at the time of eye opening. As expected, CLC‐2‐HA was expressed exclusively in RPE; strikingly, this procedure rescued the degeneration of both RPE and photoreceptors. Light response in transduced eyes was also recovered. Only a fraction of RPE was transduced with the lentivirus; however, the entire RPE monolayer appears healthy, even the RPE cells not expressing the CLC‐2‐HA. Surprisingly, in contrast with previous physiological observations that postulate that CLC‐2 has a basolateral localization in RPE, our immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated CLC‐2 has an apical distribution, facing the subretinal space and the photoreceptor outer segments. Our findings suggest that CLC‐2 does not play the postulated role in fluid transport at the basolateral membrane. Rather, they suggest that CLC‐2 performs a critical homeostatic role in the subretinal compartment involving a chloride regulatory mechanism that is critical for the survival of both RPE and photoreceptors.

Abstract
Mechanosensation is essential for various physiological processes, and it is mediated by mechanotransduction channels. Recently, we reported that TMEM150C/Tentonin 3 (TTN3) confers mechanically activated currents with slow inactivation kinetics in several cell types, including dorsal root ganglion neurons (Hong et al., 2016). The accompanying Matters Arising by Dubin, Murthy, and colleagues confirms that naive heterologous cells demonstrate a mechanically activated current, but finds that this response is absent in CRISPR-Cas9 Piezo1 knockout cell lines and suggests that TTN3 is a modulator of Piezo1. We present and discuss evidence based on co-expression of TTN3 and Peizo1 and mutant variants of the pore region of TTN3 to support that TTN3 is a pore-forming unit, not an amplifying adaptor for Piezo1 activity. This Matters Arising Response paper, along with Zhao et al. (2017), addresses the Matters Arising from Dubin et al. (2017), published concurrently in this issue of Neuron.

Abstract
The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a ligand-gated ion channel that conducts Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+) when activated by extracellular ATP. In various cell types, such as secretory epithelia, the P2X7R is co-expressed with Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) channels of the TMEM16/anoctamin family. Here, we studied whether the P2X7R and TMEM16A/anoctamin-1 (Ano1) or TMEM16F/anoctamin-6 (Ano6) interact functionally and physically, using oocytes of Xenopus laevis and Ambystoma mexicanum (Axolotl) for heterologous expression. As a control, we co-expressed anoctamin-1 with the P2Y1 receptor (P2Y1R), which induces the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores via activating phospholipase C through coupling to Gαq. We found that co-expression of anoctamin-1 with the P2Y1R resulted in a small transient increase in Cl(-) conductance in response to ATP. Co-expression of anoctamin-1 with the P2X7R resulted in a large sustained increase in Cl(-) conductance via Ca(2+) influx through the ATP-opened P2X7R in Xenopus and in Axolotl oocytes, which lack endogenous Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) channels. P2Y1R- or P2X7R-mediated stimulation of Ano1 was primarily functional, as demonstrated by the absence of a physically stable interaction between Ano1 and the P2X7R. In the pancreatic cell line AsPC-1, we found the same functional Ca(2+)-dependent interaction of P2X7R and Ano1. The P2X7R-mediated sustained activation of Ano1 may be physiologically relevant to the time course of stimulus-secretion coupling in secretory epithelia. No such increase in Cl(-) conductance could be elicited by activating the P2X7 receptor in either Xenopus oocytes or Axolotl oocytes co-expressing Ano6. The lack of function of Ano6 can, at least in part, be explained by its poor cell-surface expression, resulting from a relatively inefficient exit of the homodimeric Ano6 from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Purinergic signalling plays major roles in the physiology and pathophysiology of digestive organs. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), together with nitric oxide and vasoactive intestinal peptide, is a cotransmitter in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory neuromuscular transmission. P2X and P2Y receptors are widely expressed in myenteric and submucous enteric plexuses and participate in sympathetic transmission and neuromodulation involved in enteric reflex activities, as well as influencing gastric and intestinal epithelial secretion and vascular activities. Involvement of purinergic signalling has been identified in a variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, ischaemia, diabetes and cancer. Purinergic mechanosensory transduction forms the basis of enteric nociception, where ATP released from mucosal epithelial cells by distension activates nociceptive subepithelial primary afferent sensory fibres expressing P2X3 receptors to send messages to the pain centres in the central nervous system via interneurons in the spinal cord. Purinergic signalling is also involved in salivary gland and bile duct secretion.

Abstract
In vivo recycling of nitrate (NO(3)(-)) and nitrite (NO(2)(-)) is an important alternative pathway for the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and maintenance of systemic nitrate-nitrite-NO balance. More than 25% of the circulating NO(3)(-) is actively removed and secreted by salivary glands. Oral commensal bacteria convert salivary NO(3)(-) to NO(2)(-), which enters circulation and leads to NO generation. The transporters for NO(3)(-) in salivary glands have not yet been identified. Here we report that sialin (SLC17A5), mutations in which cause Salla disease and infantile sialic acid storage disorder (ISSD), functions as an electrogenic 2NO(3)(-)/H(+) cotransporter in the plasma membrane of salivary gland acinar cells. We have identified an extracellular pH-dependent anion current that is carried by NO(3)(-) or sialic acid (SA), but not by Br(-), and is accompanied by intracellular acidification. Both responses were reduced by knockdown of sialin expression and increased by the plasma membrane-targeted sialin mutant (L22A-L23A). Fibroblasts from patients with ISSD displayed reduced SA- and NO(3)(-)-induced currents compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, expression of disease-associated sialin mutants in fibroblasts and salivary gland cells suppressed the H(+)-dependent NO(3)(-) conductance. Importantly, adenovirus-dependent expression of the sialinH183R mutant in vivo in pig salivary glands decreased NO(3)(-) secretion in saliva after intake of a NO(3)(-)-rich diet. Taken together, these data demonstrate that sialin mediates nitrate influx into salivary gland and other cell types. We suggest that the 2NO(3)(-)/H(+) transport function of sialin in salivary glands can contribute significantly to clearance of serum nitrate, as well as nitrate recycling and physiological nitrite-NO homeostasis.

Abstract
Intracellular ATP, the energy source for many reactions, is crucial for the activity of plasma membrane pumps and, thus, for the maintenance of transmembrane ion gradients. Nevertheless, ATP and other nucleotides/nucleosides are also extracellular molecules that regulate diverse cellular functions, including ion transport. In this review, I will first introduce the main components of the extracellular ATP signalling, which have become known as the purinergic signalling system. With more than 50 components or processes, just at cell membranes, it ranks as one of the most versatile signalling systems. This multitude of system components may enable differentiated regulation of diverse epithelial functions. As epithelia probably face the widest variety of potential ATP-releasing stimuli, a special attention will be given to stimuli and mechanisms of ATP release with a focus on exocytosis. Subsequently, I will consider membrane transport of major ions (Cl(-) , HCO(3)(-) , K(+) and Na(+) ) and integrate possible regulatory functions of P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2X4, P2X7 and adenosine receptors in some selected epithelia at the cellular level. Some purinergic receptors have noteworthy roles. For example, many studies to date indicate that the P2Y2 receptor is one common denominator in regulating ion channels on both the luminal and basolateral membranes of both secretory and absorptive epithelia. In exocrine glands though, P2X4 and P2X7 receptors act as cation channels and, possibly, as co-regulators of secretion. On an organ level, both receptor types can exert physiological functions and together with other partners in the purinergic signalling, integrated models for epithelial secretion and absorption are emerging.

Abstract
Mouse parotid acinar cells express P2X4 and P2X7 receptors (mP2X4R and mP2X7R) whose physiological function remains undetermined. Here we show that mP2X4R expressed in HEK-293 cells do not allow the passage of tetraethylammonium (TEA+) and promote little, if any, ethidium bromide (EtBr) uptake when stimulated with ATP or BzATP. In contrast, mP2X7R generates slowly decaying TEA+ current, sustained Na+ current and promotes robust EtBr uptake. However, ATP-activated TEA+ current from acinar cells was unlike that generated by mP2X7R or mP2X4R. Functional interactions between mP2X4R and mP2X7R were investigated in HEK cells co-transfected with different mP2X4 : mP2X7 cDNA ratios and using solutions containing either TEA+ or Na+ ions. Co-expressed channels generated a TEA+ current that displayed faster decay during ATP stimulation than mP2X7R alone. Moreover, cells transfected with a 2 : 1 cDNA ratio displayed decaying kinetics similar to those observed in acinar cells. Concentration-response curves in Na+-containing solutions were constructed for heterologously expressed mP2X4R, mP2X7R and mP2X4R:mP2X7R co-expressions as well as acinar cells. The EC50 values determined were 11, 220, 434 and 442 microM, respectively. Na+ currents generated by expressing mP2X4R or mP2X7R alone were potentiated by ivermectin (IVM). In contrast, IVM potentiation in acinar cells and HEK cells co-expressing P2X4 and P2X7 (1 : 1 or 2 : 1 cDNA ratios) was seen only when the ATP concentration was lowered from 5 to 0.03 mM. Taken together our observations indicate a functional interaction between murine P2X7 and P2X4 receptors. Such interaction might occur in acinar cells to shape the response to extracellular ATP in salivary epithelia.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca(2+))-activated chloride channels are fundamental mediators in numerous physiological processes including transepithelial secretion, cardiac and neuronal excitation, sensory transduction, smooth muscle contraction and fertilization. Despite their physiological importance, their molecular identity has remained largely unknown. Here we show that transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A, which we also call anoctamin 1 (ANO1)) is a bona fide Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel that is activated by intracellular Ca(2+) and Ca(2+)-mobilizing stimuli. With eight putative transmembrane domains and no apparent similarity to previously characterized channels, ANO1 defines a new family of ionic channels. The biophysical properties as well as the pharmacological profile of ANO1 are in full agreement with native Ca(2+)-activated chloride currents. ANO1 is expressed in various secretory epithelia, the retina and sensory neurons. Furthermore, knockdown of mouse Ano1 markedly reduced native Ca(2+)-activated chloride currents as well as saliva production in mice. We conclude that ANO1 is a candidate Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel that mediates receptor-activated chloride currents in diverse physiological processes.

Abstract
We previously reported that mouse parotid acinar cells display anion conductance (I(ATPCl)) when stimulated by external ATP in Na+-free extracellular solutions. It has been suggested that the P2X7 receptor channel (P2X7R) might underlie I(ATPCl). In this work we show that I (ATPCl) can be activated by ATP, ADP, AMP-PNP, ATPgammaS and CTP. This is consistent with the nucleotide sensitivity of P2X7R. Accordingly, acinar cells isolated from P2X7R( -/- ) mice lacked I(ATPCl). Experiments with P2X7R heterologously expressed resulted in ATP-activated currents (I(ATP-P2X7)) partially carried by anions. In Na(+)-free solutions, I (ATP-P2X7) had an apparent anion permeability sequence of SCN(-) > I(-) congruent with NO3(-) > Br(-) > Cl(-) > acetate, comparable to that reported for I(ATPCl) under the same conditions. However, in the presence of physiologically relevant concentrations of external Na+, the Cl(-) permeability of I(ATP-P2X7) was negligible, although permeation of Br(-) or SCN(-) was clearly resolved. Relative anion permeabilities were not modified by addition of 1 mM: carbenoxolone, a blocker of Pannexin-1. Moreover, cibacron blue 3GA, which blocks the Na(+) current activated by ATP in acinar cells but not I(ATPCl), blocked I(ATP-P2X7) in a dose-dependent manner when Na+ was present but failed to do so in tetraethylammonium containing solutions. Thus, our data indicate that P2X7R is fundamental for I(ATPCl) generation in acinar cells and that external Na+ modulates ion permeability and conductivity, as well as drug affinity, in P2X7R.

Abstract
Previously, we presented in vivo evidence for a physiological significance of cAMP-regulated CFTR Cl(-) channels in Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) reabsorption in the ductal system of the rat submandibular gland. Here, we address the mechanism by which basal CFTR activation contributes to the transepithelial Cl(-) movement evoked by muscarinic stimulation. The Cl(-) concentration ([Cl(-)]) was increased in the final saliva from rat submandibular gland during pilocarpine stimulation when a small interfering RNA for CFTR or a specific CFTR inhibitor, CFTR(inh)-172, was injected retrogradely into the gland's own duct, indicating that basal CFTR activation is involved in Cl(-) reabsorption. Systemically administered propranolol failed to alter the [Cl(-)], suggesting little involvement of a beta-adrenergic pathway in the Cl(-) movement that occurs through basal CFTR activation. Intraductal injection of suramin (a nonspecific P2-receptor antagonist) increased the salivary [Cl(-)], indicating the existence of endogenous purinergic activation. Upon separate intraductal injection, ATP and a P2Y(2)-receptor agonist, UTP, decreased the salivary [Cl(-)] almost equipotently. CFTR(inh)-172 and suramin each prevented these effects, whereas 2',3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (Bz-ATP), a P2X(7) agonist, had no specific effect. Pilocarpine stimulation evoked ATP secretion into the salivary fluid. Immunohistochemistry revealed the partial coexistence of CFTR and P2Y(2) receptors on the luminal surface of epithelial cells in the striated ducts of this gland. These results raise the possibility that muscarinic stimulation-induced Cl(-) reabsorption occurs through basal CFTR activity and that this is regulated by P2Y(2) receptors in the ductal epithelium via stimulation by ATP secreted into the salivary fluid.

Abstract
Otopetrin1 (Otop1) is a multitransmembrane domain protein required for the formation of otoconia in the vertebrate inner ear. Otoconia are complex calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) biominerals that are required for the sensation of gravity. Examination of the phenotypes of animals with mutations or deficiencies in Otop1 suggests a direct role for Otop1 in the initiation of extracellular biomineralization, possibly through the regulation of intracellular Ca(2+). Here, we demonstrate that Otop1 overexpression can modulate purinergic-mediated Ca(2+) homeostasis in transfected cell lines. These experiments define a unique set of biochemical activities of Otop1, including depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores, specific inhibition of the purinergic receptor P2Y, and regulation of the influx of extracellular Ca(2+) in response to ATP, ADP, and UDP. These activities can be inhibited by the polyanion suramin in a rapidly reversible manner. This first characterization of the consequences of Otop1 overexpression indicates a profound effect on cellular Ca(2+) regulation. In a physiologic setting, these activities could direct the formation and growth of otoconia and regulate other biomineralization processes.

Abstract
This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the physiology and pathophysiology of ATP, but extracellular roles of its breakdown product, adenosine, are also considered because of their intimate interactions. The early history of the involvement of ATP in autonomic and skeletal neuromuscular transmission and in activities in the central nervous system and ganglia is reviewed. Brief background information is given about the identification of receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines and about ATP storage, release, and ectoenzymatic breakdown. Evidence that ATP is a cotransmitter in most, if not all, peripheral and central neurons is presented, as well as full accounts of neurotransmission and neuromodulation in autonomic and sensory ganglia and in the brain and spinal cord. There is coverage of neuron-glia interactions and of purinergic neuroeffector transmission to nonmuscular cells. To establish the primitive and widespread nature of purinergic neurotransmission, both the ontogeny and phylogeny of purinergic signaling are considered. Finally, the pathophysiology of purinergic neurotransmission in both peripheral and central nervous systems is reviewed, and speculations are made about future developments.

Abstract
Chloride-transporting proteins play fundamental roles in many tissues in the plasma membrane as well as in intracellular membranes. They have received increasing attention in the last years because crucial, and often unexpected and novel, physiological functions have been disclosed with gene-targeting approaches, X-ray crystallography, and biophysical analysis. CLC proteins form a gene family that comprises nine members in mammals, at least four of which are involved in human genetic diseases. The X-ray structure of the bacterial CLC homolog, ClC-ec1, revealed a complex fold and confirmed the anticipated homodimeric double-barreled architecture of CLC-proteins with two separate Cl-ion transport pathways, one in each subunit. Four of the mammalian CLC proteins, ClC-1, ClC-2, ClC-Ka, and ClC-Kb, are chloride ion channels that fulfill their functional roles-stabilization of the membrane potential, transepithelial salt transport, and ion homeostasisin the plasma membrane. The other five CLC proteins are predominantly expressed in intracellular organelles like endosomes and lysosomes, where they are probably important for a proper luminal acidification, in concert with the V-type H+-ATPase. Surprisingly, ClC-4, ClC-5, and probably also ClC-3, are not Cl- ion channels but exhibit significant Cl-/H+ antiporter activity, as does the bacterial homolog ClC-ec1 and the plant homolog AtCLCa. The physiological significance of the Cl-/H+ antiport activity remains to be established.

Abstract
The chloride channel 2 (CLCN2) gene codes for a protein organized in N- and C-terminal regions with regulatory functions and a transmembrane region which forms the ring of the pore. Mutations in the gene have previously been described in patients with idiopathic familial epilepsy. In this study we looked for new isoforms of CLCN2 and we estimated expression levels by real time PCR in brain tissue containing epileptic foci. Samples used in this study were first analyzed and selected to exclude mutations in the coding region of the gene. Four isoforms (skipping exons 3, 16, 22 and 6/7) were identified and quantified by Real Time PCR and compared with total expression of the gene. Expression of the region common to all CLCN2 isoforms was 50% less in epilepsy-associated brain tissue than in controls. The ratio of the various isoforms was slightly greater in epileptic than control tissue. The greatest difference was recorded in the temporal lobe for the isoform with skipped exon 22. Analysis of these isoforms in brain tissue containing epileptic foci suggests that CLCN2 could be implicated in epilepsy, even in the absence of mutations.

Abstract
Pilocarpine has been used as a choice of drugs for treatment of impaired salivary flow. Although considerable data are available as to the stimulatory effect of pilocarpine on the salivary secretion in human, its underlying mechanism, at the cellular level, has not been rigorously studied. In this experiment, we studied the effect of pilocarpine on the ion channel activity, cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and aquaporin (AQP)-5 expression, which play key roles in the secretary process and determine the capacity of fluid secretion. In human submandibular gland (SMG) acinar cells, 10(-5) M pilocarpine activated the outward rectifying-current, which was predominantly K(+) selective in the whole cell patch clamp study. The pilocarpine increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner in the range of 10(-6) M to 10(-4) M. We found that both increases of [Ca(2+)](i) and outward rectifying- K(+) current were inhibited by 10(-5) M U-73122, a specific phospholipase C inhibitor. The magnitudes of pilocarpine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) transients were approximately 55% lower than those with the same concentration of carbachol (CCh). Pilocarpine also increased the amount of AQP-5 protein in the apical membrane (APM) in human SMG acinar cells. Our results suggest that pilocarpine induce salivary secretions in human by activating K(+) channels, increasing [Ca(2+)](i) via phospholipase C dependent pathway, and increasing AQP-5 protein expression in the APM of SMG acinar cells.

Abstract
The concept of a purinergic signaling system, using purine nucleotides and nucleosides as extracellular messengers, was first proposed over 30 years ago. After a brief introduction and update of purinoceptor subtypes, this article focuses on the diverse pathophysiological roles of purines and pyrimidines as signaling molecules. These molecules mediate short-term (acute) signaling functions in neurotransmission, mechanosensory transduction, secretion and vasodilatation, and long-term (chronic) signaling functions in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death involved in development and regeneration. Plasticity of purinoceptor expression in pathological conditions is frequently observed, including an increase in the purinergic component of autonomic cotransmission. Recent advances in therapies using purinergic-related drugs in a wide range of pathological conditions will be addressed with speculation on future developments in the field.

Abstract
Aquaporin-5 (AQP5), an apical plasma membrane (APM) water channel in salivary glands, lacrimal glands, and airway epithelium, has an important role in fluid secretion. The activation of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) or alpha1-adrenoceptors on the salivary glands induces salivary fluid secretion. AQP5 localizes in lipid rafts and activation of the M3 mAChRs or alpha1-adrenoceptors induced its translocation together with the lipid rafts to the APM in the interlobular ducts of rat parotid glands. This review focuses on the mechanisms of AQP5 translocation together with lipid rafts to the APM in the interlobular duct cells of parotid glands of normal rats and the impairment of AQP5 translocation in diabetes and senescence.

Abstract
Upon continuous stimulation, the pore of the monovalent cation-selective P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) expands to accommodate large molecules such as N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+). How the change in P2X7R permeability is regulated is not known. Here we report that extracellular Cl- (Cl-(o)) regulates the outward current, whereas extracellular Na+ (Na+(o)) regulates the inward current of large molecules by P2X7Rs. The P2X7R-mediated current was measured in parotid acinar and duct cells of wild type and P2X7R-/- mice and in HEK293 cells expressing the human or mouse P2X7R isoforms. In symmetrical NaCl, triethylammonium chloride, and NMDG+ chloride solutions, the P2X7R current followed a linear current/voltage relationship. In symmetrical NaCl, removal of Cl-(o) reduced the inward Na+ current by approximately 35% and the outward Na+ current by only 10%. By contrast, in the absence of Na+(i) and the presence of Na+(o) or NMDG+(o), the removal of Cl-(o) reduced the inward Na+ or NMDG+ currents by 35% but the outward NMDG+ current by >95%. The effect of Cl-(o) was half-maximal at approximately 60 mm. Reducing Cl-(i) from 150 to 10 mm did not reproduce the effects of Cl-(o). All currents were eliminated in P2X7R-/- cells and reproduced by expressing the P2X7Rs in HEK cells. These findings suggest that Cl-(o) primarily regulates the outward P2X7R current of large molecules. When cells dialyzed with NMDG+ were stimulated in the presence of Na+(o), subsequent removal of Na+(o) resulted in a strongly outward rectifying NMDG+ current, indicating maintained high selectivity for Na+ over NMDG+. During continuous incubation in Na+-free medium, the permeability of the P2X7Rs to NMDG+ gradually increased. On the other hand, when the cells were incubated in symmetrical NMDG+ and only then stimulated with ATP, the NMDG+ current by P2X7Rs followed a linear current/voltage relationship and did not change with time. These findings suggest that the P2X7R has a "Na+(o) memory" and that Na+(o) regulates the inward permeability of P2X7Rs to large molecules. The novel regulation of P2X7R outward and inward permeability to large molecules by Cl-(o) and Na+(o), respectively, may have an important protective function, particularly in secretory epithelial cells.

Abstract
The secretion of fluid and electrolytes by salivary gland acinar cells requires the coordinated regulation of multiple water and ion transporter and channel proteins. Notably, all the key transporter and channel proteins in this process appear to be activated, or are up-regulated, by an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Consequently, salivation occurs in response to agonists that generate an increase in [Ca2+]i. The mechanisms that act to modulate these increases in [Ca2+]i obviously influence the secretion of salivary fluid. Such modulation may involve effects on mechanisms of both Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry and the resulting spatial and temporal aspects of the [Ca2+]i signal, as well as interactions with other signaling pathways in the cells. The molecular cloning of many of the transporter and regulatory molecules involved in fluid and electrolyte secretion has yielded a better understanding of this process at the cellular level. The subsequent characterization of mice with null mutations in many of these genes has demonstrated the physiological roles of individual proteins. This review focuses on recent developments in determining the molecular identification of the proteins that regulate the fluid secretion process.

Abstract
Thyroid cells express a variety of P2Y and P2X purinergic receptor subtypes. G protein-coupled P2Y receptors influence a wide variety of thyrocyte-specific functions; however, functional P2X receptor-gated channels have not been observed. In this study, we used whole cell patch-clamp recording and fluorescence imaging of the plasma membrane marker FM1-43 to examine the effects of extracellular ATP on membrane permeability and trafficking in the Fisher rat thyroid cell line FRTL. We found a cation-selective current that was gated by ATP and 2',3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP but not by UTP. The ATP-evoked currents were inhibited by pyridoxal phosphate 6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid, adenosine 5'-triphosphate-2',3'-dialdehyde, 100 microM Zn(2+), and 50 microM Cu(2+). Fluorescence imaging revealed pronounced, temperature-sensitive stimulation of exocytosis and membrane internalization by ATP with the same pharmacological profile as observed for activation of current. The EC(50) for ATP stimulation of internalization was 440 microM in saline containing 2 mM Ca(2+) and 2 mM Mg(2+), and 33 microM in low-Mg(2+), nominally Ca(2+)-free saline. Overall, the results are most consistent with activation of a P2X(7) receptor by ATP(4-). However, low permeability to N-methyl-d-glucamine(+) and the propidium cation YO-PRO-1 indicates absence of the cytolytic pore that often accompanies P2X(7) receptor activation. ATP stimulation of internalization occurs in Na(+)-free, Ca(2+)-free, or low-Mg(2+) saline and therefore does not depend on cation influx through the ATP-gated channel. We conclude that ATP activation of a P2X(7) receptor stimulates membrane internalization in FRTL cells via a transduction pathway that does not depend on cation influx.

Abstract
The effect of intracellular cAMP and cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) protein on the calcium-activated chloride current (ICaCl) present in parotid acinar cells was studied using the patch clamp technique. Application of 1 mM of 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP), a permeable analog of cAMP, inhibited ICaCl only at positive potentials. This inhibition was partially abolished in cells dialyzed with 20 nM PKI 6-22 amide, a potent peptide that specifically inhibits PKA. Because cAMP is an activator of the CFTR Cl- channel, a known regulator of ICaCl, we also investigated if the inhibition of ICaCl was mediated by activation of CFTR. To test this idea, we added 1 mM CPT-cAMP to acinar cells isolated from knockout animals that do not express the CFTR channel. In these cells the cAMP effect was totally abolished. Thus, our data provide evidence that cAMP regulates ICaCl by a dual mechanism involving PKA and CFTR.

Abstract
Receptor agonists that initiate fluid secretion in salivary gland epithelial cells also increase protein phosphorylation. To assess contributions of tyrosine phosphorylation to secretion, changes in muscarinic receptor-initiated secretion (estimated from sodium pump-dependent increases in oxygen consumption) were measured in parotid acinar cells exposed to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, like the mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone, tyrphostins AG10 and AG18 increased the rate of oxygen consumption and reduced cellular ATP by approximately 90% in the absence of the muscarinic agonist carbachol, indicating that these tyrphostins uncouple mitochondria. Exposure of isolated mitochondria to five structurally related tyrphostins demonstrated that their relative potencies as uncouplers differed from their in vitro kinase-inhibitory potencies due to different molecular requirements for the two effects. AG10 and AG18 blocked parotid phosphorylation events only at concentrations that reduced ATP content. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein reduced ATP content by 15-20% and weakly uncoupled isolated mitochondria, but its inhibition of carbachol-mediated protein kinase Cdelta tyrosine phosphorylation and ERK1/2 activation appeared attributable to blocking tyrosine kinases directly. Carbachol itself rapidly reduced ATP content by 15-20%. Carbachol, 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate (P2X(7) receptor agonist), AG10, AG18, and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone rapidly activated the fuel sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK); however, only AMPK activation by carbachol and BzATP was due to sodium pump stimulation. AG10 and AG18 also activated AMPK and/or uncoupled mitochondria in PC12, HeLa, and HEK293 cells. These studies demonstrate that some tyrosine kinase inhibitors produce cellular effects that are mechanistically different from their primary in vitro characterizations and, as do salivary secretory stimuli, promote rapid metabolic alterations that initiate secondary signaling events.

Abstract
The intracellular signalling pathways and molecular mechanisms responsible for P2-purinoceptor-mediated chloride (Cl(-)) currents (I(Cl,ATP)) were studied in mouse ventricular myocytes. In standard NaCl-containing extracellular solutions, extracellular ATP (100 microm) activated two different currents, I(Cl,ATP) with a linear I-V relationship in symmetrical Cl(-) solutions, and an inwardly rectifying cation conductance (cationic I(ATP)). Cationic I(ATP) was selectively inhibited by Gd(3+) and Zn(2+), or by replacement of extracellular NaCl by NMDG; I(Cl,ATP) was Cl(-) selective, and inhibited by replacement of extracellular Cl(-) by Asp(-); both currents were prevented by suramin or DIDS pretreatment. In GTPgammaS-loaded cells, I(Cl,ATP) was irreversibly activated by ATP, but cationic I(ATP) was still regulated reversibly. GDPbetaS prevented activation of the I(Cl,ATP,) even though pertussis toxin pretreatment did not modulate I(Cl,ATP). These results suggest that activation of I(Cl,ATP) occurs via a G-protein coupled P2Y purinergic receptor. The I(Cl,ATP) persistently activated by GTPgammaS, was inhibited by glibenclamide but not by DIDS, thus exhibiting known pharmacological properties of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channels. In ventricular cells of cftr(-/-) mice, extracellular ATP activated cationic I(ATP), but failed to activate any detectable I(Cl,ATP). These results provide compelling evidence that activation of CFTR Cl(-) channels in mouse heart are coupled to G-protein coupled P2Y purinergic receptors.

Abstract
Various K(+) and Cl(-) channels are important in cell volume regulation and biliary secretion, but the specific role of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator in cholangiocyte cell volume regulation is not known. The goal of this research was to study regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in bile duct cell clusters (BDCCs) from normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) mouse livers. Mouse BDCCs without an enclosed lumen were prepared as described (Cho, W. K. (2002) Am. J. Physiol. 283, G1320-G1327). The isotonic solution consisted of HEPES buffer with 40% of the NaCl replaced with isomolar amounts of sucrose, whereas hypotonic solution was the same as isotonic solution without sucrose. The cell volume changes were indirectly assessed by measuring cross-sectional area (CSA) changes of the BDCCs using quantitative videomicroscopy. Exposure to hypotonic solutions increased relative CSAs of normal BDCCs to 1.20 +/- 0.01 (mean +/- S.E., n = 50) in 10 min, followed by RVD to 1.07 +/- 0.01 by 40 min. Hypotonic challenge in CF mouse BDCCs also increased relative CSA to 1.20 +/- 0.01 (n = 53) in 10 min but without significant recovery. Coadministration of the K(+)-selective ionophore valinomycin restored RVD in CF mouse BDCCs, suggesting that the impaired RVD was likely from a defect in K(+) conductance. Moreover, this valinomycin-induced RVD in CF mice was inhibited by 5-nitro-2'-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate, indicating that it is not from nonspecific effects. Neither cAMP nor calcium agonists could reverse the impaired RVD seen in CF cholangiocytes. Our conclusion is that CF mouse cholangiocytes have defective RVD from an impaired K(+) efflux pathway, which could not be reversed by cAMP nor calcium agonists.
