In the rabbit urinary bladder, serosal hyperosmotic challenge (SHOC) with either 33 mM NaCl or 66 mM mannitol caused basolateral membrane potential (Vbl) to initially depolarize from -52.6 +/- 1.6 to -48.4 +/- 1.4 mV, followed by a recovery of Vbl to -57.5 +/- 1.3 mV after 13.7 +/- 1.0 min. The voltage recovery was dependent on both serosal HCO3- and Cl-, and in the absence of both, Vbl depolarized to -11.6 +/- 1.5 mV and the ratio of apical-to-basolateral resistance (Ra/Rbl) decreased from 21.0 +/- 3.4 to 8.3 +/- 3.1. This decrease in Ra/Rbl and consequent depolarization of Vbl is caused by a decrease in basolateral K+ conductance. Replacement of serosal Cl- with NO3- or SCN- followed by SHOC caused a sustained depolarization of Vbl to -32.5 +/- 4.4 and -40.9 +/- 0.9 mV, respectively. However, when Br- was used to replace Cl-, voltage recovery occurred but was slowed (24.0 +/- 2.7 min) and reduced in magnitude (-47.5 +/- 3.5 mV). Addition of amiloride (1 mM) or niflumic acid (100 microM), but not bumetanide (1 microM), to the serosal bathing solution inhibited voltage recovery causing Vbl to depolarize to -36.3 +/- 2.6 and -41.5 +/- 4.5 mV, respectively. Serosal addition of ouabain after SHOC caused Vbl to depolarize by 10.8 +/- 0.9 mV in 2 min. We speculate that the SHOC-induced initial depolarization of Vbl is a loss of Ba2(+)-sensitive K+ conductance caused by cell shrinkage. The subsequent repolarization/hyperpolarization of Vbl is caused by an enhanced basolateral membrane Na+ pump current and a reappearance of the Ba2(+)-sensitive K+ conductance. The parallel operation of Na(+)-H+ and Cl(-)-HCO3- exchanges will then supply Na+ for the pump current and, via cellular accumulation of Na+, K+, and Cl-, might result in a partial recovery of cell volume and thus Ba2(+)-sensitive K+ conductance.

This study describes the effects of serosal Cl- and HCO3- substitution on transepithelial Na+ transport and basolateral membrane properties of the rabbit urinary bladder. Replacement of Cl- with NO3-, SCN-, and Br- had no effect on transepithelial Na+ transport or the basolateral membrane potential (Vbl). However, gluconate, isethionate, and cyclamate (anions that were shown previously to be not as permeable as Cl- through the basolateral membrane anion channel), decreased transepithelial Na+ transport and depolarized Vbl. Replacement of HCO3- also produced a decrease in transepithelial Na+ transport and a depolarization of Vbl. Utilizing conventional and K+-specific microelectrodes, we found the depolarization to be due to a reduction in basolateral K+ conductance. This depolarization was reversible only when Cl- was returned to the serosal solution, the normally permeant anion NO3- being unable to affect repolarization, suggesting that both the K+ and Cl- conductance are reduced during depolarization. A lag period of some 4 min preceded the repolarization of Vbl. The Na+-H+ exchange blocker amiloride prolonged the lag phase associated with repolarization, whereas niflumic acid, a Cl-(-)HCO3- exchange blocker (in red blood cells) reduced the magnitude of Vbl repolarization. Because of the possible involvement of the exchangers it is believed that the lag phase represents a volume-dependent and/or pH-dependent reactivation of the basolateral membrane conductances.
