Rate constants have been determined for the entry of 22Na+, 36Cl minus, and H14CO3- into CSF from plasma in cats during changes in Pco2 with and without inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. The application of these rate constants to movement of unlabeled electrolytes suggests that Na+ and Cl minus enter CSF by a one-way flux into newly formed fluid, but that entering HCO3-is involved both in net accumulation in new fluid and in rapid exchange with existing HCO3-. The entering HCO3-ions are not transferred from plasma but are formed in secretory cells from dissolved CO2. The exchange component of HCO3-entry is Pco2-dependent; entry of Na+ and Cl minus is not; hence net rate of HCO3-formation estimated by difference between Na+ and Cl minus is not Pco2 dependent. The net rate of HCO3-formation lies within the availability of CO2 from blood flow to choroid plexus but is not necessarily limited to this tissue. When carbonic anhydrase is inhibited, the net rate of formation of HCO3-is close to the calculated uncatalyzed rate expected for choroid plexus. The entry of all three ions is reduced by carbonic anhydrase inhibition, but the enzyme does not seem to provide the primary signal for alteration of CSF acid-base status. Regulation of CSF pH appears to be achieved through changes in HCO3-concentration that occur subsequent to the secretion of HCO3--rich new fluid.

Co2 Elimination

We studied the roles of gill and erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase in normal CO2 transfer (metabolic CO2 elimination) and in HCO3- excretion during metabolic alkalosis in the resting and swimming dogfish shark, Squalus acanthias. Gill carbonic anhydrase was selectively inhibited (greater than 98.5%) by 1 mg/kg benzolamide, which caused no physiologically significant red cell carbonic anhydrase inhibition (approximately 40%). Enzyme in both tissues was inhibited by 30 mg/kg methazolamide (greater than 99%). Both drugs caused equivalent reductions in HCO3- excretion following an infusion of 9 mmol/kg NaHCO3 as measured by the rate of fall in plasma HCO3- and by transfer into seawater. Methazolamide (red cell and gill carbonic anhydrase inhibition) caused a respiratory acidosis in fish with normal acid-base status, whereas benzolamide (gill carbonic anhydrase inhibition) did not. The only effect observed with benzolamide in these fish was a small elevation in plasma HCO3-. These findings, taken together, suggest that red cell carbonic anhydrase is required for normal metabolic CO2 elimination by the gill. Although carbonic anhydrase is located in the respiratory epithelium, it appears to have no quantitative role in transfer of metabolic CO2 to the environment, a pattern similar to all terrestrial vertebrates. However, carbonic anhydrase in the gill is crucial to this organ's function in acid-base regulation, both in the excretion of H+ or HCO3- generated in normal metabolism and in various acid-base disturbances.

To investigate the interactions between the systems that contribute to acid-base homeostasis after severe exercise, we studied the effects of carbonic anhydrase inhibition on exchange of strong ions and CO2 in six subjects after 30 s of maximal isokinetic cycling exercise. Each subject exercised on two randomly assigned occasions, a control (CON) condition and 30 min after intravenous injection of 1,000 mg acetazolamide (ACZ) to inhibit blood carbonic anhydrase activity. Leg muscle power output was similar in the two conditions; peak O2 uptake (VO2) after exercise was lower in ACZ (2,119 +/- 274 ml/min) than in CON (2,687 +/- 113, P less than 0.05); peak CO2 production (VCO2) was also lower (2,197 +/- 241 in ACZ vs. 3,237 +/- 87 in CON, P less than 0.05) and was accompanied by an increase in the recovery half-time from 1.7 min in CON to 2.3 min in ACZ. Whereas end-tidal PCO2 was lower in ACZ than in CON, arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) was higher, and a large negative end-tidal-to-arterial difference (less than or equal to 20 Torr) was present in ACZ on recovery. In ACZ, postexercise increases in arterial plasma [Na+] and [K+] were greater but [La-] was lower. Arteriovenous differences across the forearm showed a greater uptake of La- and Cl- in CON than in ACZ. Carbonic anhydrase inhibition with ACZ, in addition to impairing equilibration of the CO2 system to the acid-base challenge of exercise, was accompanied by changes in equilibration of strong inorganic ions. A lowered plasma [La-] was not accompanied by greater uptake of La- by inactive muscle.

Carbonic anhydrase 2 regulates acid-base homeostasis, and recent findings have indicated a correlation between cellular control of acid-base status and the innate defense of the kidney. Mice deficient in carbonic anhydrase 2 ( Car2−/− mice) have metabolic acidosis, impaired urine acidification, and are deficient in normal intercalated cells. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the biological consequences of carbonic anhydrase 2 deficiency in a murine model of pyelonephritis. Infection susceptibility and transcription of bacterial response components in Car2−/− mice were compared with wild-type littermate controls. Car2−/− mice had increased kidney bacterial burdens along with decreased renal bacterial clearance after inoculation compared with wild-type mice. Standardization of the urine pH and serum HCO3− levels did not substantially alter kidney infection susceptibility between wild-type and Car2−/− mice; thus, factors other than acid-base status are responsible. Car2−/− mice had significantly increased neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin mRNA and protein and expression at baseline and a marked decreased ability to upregulate key bacterial response genes during pyelonephritis. Our findings provide in vivo evidence that supports a role for carbonic anhydrase 2 and intercalated cells in promoting renal bacterial clearance. Decreased carbonic anhydrase expression results in increased antimicrobial peptide production by cells other than renal intercalated cells, which is not sufficient to prevent infection after a bacterial challenge.

Bladders from actively feeding turtles were processed for carbonic anhydrase (CA) cytochemically. CA-positive cells were identified as microplicated (MP) cells, microvillated (MV) cells, and subluminal (SL) cells. After acute enhancement of H+ secretion with 5% CO2, MP cells displayed extensive microplicae and a reduced density of apical subplasmalemmal vesicles, and they were CA reactive throughout a large part of the cytoplasm including the microplicae. After acute inhibition of H+ secretion with a pH 4.5 mucosal bath, CA staining was excluded from the microplicae and apical subplasmalemmal region of most MP cells, whereas microplicae varied from extensive to reduced, and subapical vesicle density remained elevated. MV cells were characterized by basolateral staining with sparing of the MV and apical subplasmalemmal region in all settings except 1) after 5% CO2 and 2) when MV cells were found in areas in which MP cells were stained to the lumen. These results indicate that CA is active at the site of H+ secretion in MP cells and is correlated with the acute acid-base status of the bladder.

Acid Base Status

In vivo experiments were carried out to determine the relative effects of carbonic anhydrase (CA) infusion or inhibition on carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and acid-base status in the arterial and venous blood of sea lampreys recovering from exhaustive exercise. Infusion of CA into the extracellular fluid did not significantly affect CO2 transport or acid-base status in exercised lampreys. In contrast, infusion of the CA inhibitor acetazolamide resulted in a respiratory acidosis in the blood of recovering lampreys. In acetazolamide-treated lampreys, the post-exercise extracellular pH (pHe) of arterial blood was significantly lower than that in the saline-infused (control) lampreys. The calculated arterial and venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and the total CO2 concentration in whole blood (CCO2wb) and red blood cells (CCO2rbc) during recovery in the acetazolamide-infused lampreys were also significantly greater than those values in the saline-infused control lampreys. These results suggest that the CO2 reactions in the extracellular compartment of lampreys may already be in equilibrium and that the access of plasma bicarbonate to CA is probably not the sole factor limiting CO2 transport in these animals. Furthermore, endogenous red blood cell CA clearly has an important role in CO2 transport in exercising lampreys.

Fluid Formation

The carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide is useful for analyzing ion transport, pH regulation, and fluid formation in developing central nervous system. We used the 14C-labeled dimethadione technique to measure alterations in steady-state pH, and to estimate the HCO3 concentration [HCO3], in choroid plexus (CP), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and cerebral cortex of 1- and 3-wk-old Sprague-Dawley rats treated with acetazolamide or probenecid. These drugs can suppress transport of HCO3 and other anions in some cells, consequently altering intracellular pH. In 1-wk-old infant rats whose CSF secretory process is incompletely developed, 1 h of acetazolamide treatment did not significantly change CP intracellular pH or [HCO3]. However, in 3-wk-old rats, in which the ability of CP to secrete ions and fluids is almost fully developed, acetazolamide caused marked increases in CP cell intracellular pH and [HCO3]. In contrast, acetazolamide-induced alkalinization was not observed in CSF or cerebral cortex of the 1- and 3-wk-old animals. The other test agent, probenecid (an inhibitor of anion transport but not of carbonic anhydrase), did not alter the pH of any region at any age investigated. Overall, the results are interpreted in light of developmental changes in carbonic anhydrase and previous findings from kinetic analyses of ion-translocating systems in CP. Acetazolamide may interfere with a CP apical membrane HCO3 extrusion mechanism not fully operational in infant rats.
