Influence of loop diuretics and anions on passive potassium influx into human red cells.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. Passive K influx into human red cells was measured with and without Cl ions, Na ions and loop diuretics.2. Ouabain and loop diuretics appear to inhibit specifically and respectively the Na pump and (Na + K) 'co-transport'. Inhibitors of other pathways, e.g. 4,4'-diisothiocyantostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid or amiloride did not inhibit passive K influx.3. Loop diuretics inhibited with high apparent affinity in Na-containing media and with low apparent affinity in Na-free media where there was a subst… Show more

“…These are mediated by the Na+/ Na + (Na+/Li +) exchange system [13] and by the so-called Na+-K + cotransport system [44] which is dependent on chloride [7,21] and blocked by loop diuretics such as furosemide or bumetanide [3,5,8,14,17,23,43,44]. These are mediated by the Na+/ Na + (Na+/Li +) exchange system [13] and by the so-called Na+-K + cotransport system [44] which is dependent on chloride [7,21] and blocked by loop diuretics such as furosemide or bumetanide [3,5,8,14,17,23,43,44].…”

“…However, Na + to K + stoichiometries varying between 1 : 1 and 1 : 5 have been reported [3,5,21,23,44]. Furthermore, furosemide-sensitive (FS) and chloride-dependent inward movements of K + have been described that occur in pure choline media in the absence of extracellular Na + (Na +) [5,8,21,30,43,44]. Thus, FS K + movements in human erythrocytes cannot simply be attributed to the action of a strictly coupled Na+-K + cotransport system.…”

“…Because of low Cl affinity, an increase in external Cl from 100 to 150 mM can stimulate bumetanide-sensitive K influx. Indeed, three other groups have reported that NaK2Cl cotransport-mediated K influx in human erythrocytes was 50-80% higher at an external Cl of 150 mM compared with the flux at an external Cl of 100 mM (23)(24)(25). Thus, most of the difference in baseline bumetanide-sensitive K influx with the two methods can be explained by the difference in external Cl concentrations.…”

“…Although the efficacy of furosemide to inhibit K+ effilux in a SO42-medium was not tested, it is predicted that the failure to find a decrease in the efflux rate (as with NO3) reflects a change in the diureticinsensitive moiety. This serves as a reminder that the choice of replacement anions is very important where the aim is to identify Na+-K+-Cl-co-transport (see Chipperfield, 1985).…”
