Swelling of pig red cells leads to an increase in a chloride-dependent K flux which can be potentiated by cAMP, whereas cell shrinking causes a selective increase in Na movement which is mediated by a Na/H exchanger. We examined the influence of adenosine and adenosine receptor agonists on the volume-sensitive, ouabain-resistant, chloride-dependent K flux, referred to as Rb flux and volume-activated Na/H exchange pathway. It was found that adenosine and adenosine receptor agonists inhibited the Rb flux. N6-cyclohexyl adenosine (CHA) has been found to be the most potent inhibitor with EC50 of approximately 4.5 microM followed by 2-chloroadenosine (Cl-ado) with EC50 of approximately 27 microM and 5'-(N-ethyl)-carboxamido-adenosine (NECA) with EC50 of approximately 185 microM. CHA also inhibits the cAMP-stimulated Rb flux. However, CHA does not alter the basal intracellular cAMP level nor the intracellular cAMP content raised by exogenously added cAMP. In contrast to the adenosine agonist action on the Rb flux, Na/H exchange, which is activated upon cell shrinkage, exhibits a slight stimulation in response to CHA. These findings suggest that the presence of A1 adenosine receptors on the surface of red cells influences the regulation of volume-activated ion transport.

Microfluorimetric imaging study of the mechanism of activation of the Na+/H+ antiport by muscarinic agonist in rat mandibular acinar cells

The mechanism of regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) in dispersed acini from the rat mandibular salivary gland has been studied with a microfluorimetric imaging method and the pH probe 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(and -6)-carboxyfluorescein. The pHi in the TRIS/HEPES-buffered standard solution was 7.29 +/- 0.01. Addition of 1 mumol/l acetylcholine (ACh) or ionomycin caused a sustained increase in the pHi. These agents decreased pHi in the absence of external Na+ or in the presence of amiloride. The rate of pHi recovery from an acid load after NH+4 prepulse was a linear function of pHi and increased as pHi became more acidic. Addition of ACh shifted the relationship towards a more alkaline pHi range. The increase in pHi induced by ACh or ionomycin was not inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine (10 nM) and 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-1-methylpiperazine (50 mumol/l). Addition of 0.1-1 mumol/l phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) had little effect on pHi within 10 min; however, exposure to TPA for 120 min resulted in a significant rise in pHi. In Ca(2+)-free solution with 50 mumol/l 8-(diethylamino)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate, the ACh-induced rise in both pHi and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was suppressed. ACh and ionomycin caused an increment of amiloride-sensitive acid output into the extracellular fluid, while 20 mumol/l 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol had little effect on it. It was concluded that (a) stimulation with ACh activated the Na+/H+ antiport in the plasma membrane, (b) ACh also stimulated the intracellular acid production but acid extrusion by the Na+/H+ antiport prevented the cell from intracellular acidification, and (c) the major route of signal transduction for the ACh-induced activation of the Na+/H+ antiport was independent of protein kinase C but was dependent on the rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. The implication of the cytosolic acidification and cell volume change in pHi regulation is discussed.

Role of osmoregulation in the actions of taurine

Taurine regulates an unusual number of biological phenomena, including heart rhythm, contractile function, blood pressure, platelet aggregation, neuronal excitability, body temperature, learning, motor behavior, food consumption, eye sight, sperm motility, cell proliferation and viability, energy metabolism and bile acid synthesis. Many of these actions are associated with alterations in either ion transport or protein phosphorylation. Although the effects on ion transport have been attributed to changes in membrane structure, they could be equally affected by a change in the activity of the affected transporters. Three common ways of altering transporter activity is enhanced expression, changes in the phosphorylation status of the protein and cytoskeletal changes. Interestingly, all three events are altered by osmotic stress. Since taurine is a key organic osmolyte in most cells, the possibility that the effects of taurine on ion transport could be related to its osmoregulatory activity was considered. This was accomplished by comparing the effects of taurine, cell swelling and cell shrinkage on the activities of key ion channels and ion transporters. The review also compares the phosphorylation cascades initiated by osmotic stress with some of the phosphorylation events triggered by taurine depletion or treatment. The data reveal that certain actions of taurine are probably caused by the activation of osmotic-linked signaling pathways. Nonetheless, some of the actions of taurine are unique and appear to be correlated with its membrane modulating and phosphorylation regulating activities.
