Vacuolar H + -ATPase in ocular ciliary epithelium

Abstract: The mechanisms controlling the production of aqueous humor and the regulation of intraocular pressure are poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence that a vacuolar H ؉ -ATPase (V-ATPase) in the ocular ciliary epithelium is a key component of this process. In intracellular pH (pH i ) measurements of isolated ciliary epithelium performed with 2 ,7-biscarboxyethyl-5(6)-carboxyf luorescein (BCECF), the selective V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A 1 slowed the recovery of pH i in response to acute intracellular ac… Show more

“…The ability of ACTZ to partially inhibit the depolarization-induced alkalinization could originate from CA-II inhibition which limits the rate of generation of cytoplasmic H + from CO 2 to replenish cytoplasmic protons pumped outward by the stimulated H + -ATPase. It is noteworthy that aqueous humor secretion can be reduced both by ACTZ (Maren, 1984) and bafilomycin A 1 , a specific inhibitor of vesicular H + -ATPase (Wax et al, 1997). Wolosin et al (1991) have suggested that the NPE could have two types of bicarbonate transport mechanisms, one sodium-dependent and one sodiumindependent.…”

“…The distribution of the B1 "kidney" isoform is more restricted. It is found at high levels in intercalated cells of the kidney (11,12), in the ciliary epithelium of the eye (14), and in the ear (15), epididymis (16), and placenta (17). The difference in the expression of these isoforms suggests that the B subunit may function in V-ATPase regulation.…”

“…The B1 isoform is part of the peripheral V 1 domain, and its yeast homolog is important for ATP binding before ATP hydrolysis by the A subunit (384). As mentioned above, two isoforms of the B subunit exist: the B2 isoform (ATP6V1B2) is ubiquitously expressed (49, 524), whereas in the kidney the B1 subunit is amplified in intercalated cells of the late distal tubule, connecting segment and cortical and medullary collecting duct (386), in narrow and clear cells of the epididymis (68, 80, 169), in the ciliary body of the eye (245,558), and in the inner ear (interdental cell layer of the spiral limbus and some epithelial cells of the endolymphatic sac) (268). The a4 subunit (ATP6V0A4) is one of four isoforms of the a subunit which forms part of the membrane-bound V 0 sector.…”
