Volume Decrease

In most animal cells, hypotonic swelling is followed by a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) thought to prevent cell death. In contrast, goldfish hepatocytes challenged with hypotonic medium (180 mosM, HYPO) increase their volume 1.7 times but remain swollen and viable for at least 5 h. Incubation with ATPγS (an ATP analog) in HYPO triggers a 42% volume decrease. This effect is concentration dependent ( K1/2 = 760 nM) and partially abolished by P2 receptor antagonists (64% inhibition). A similar induction of RVD is observed with ATP, UTP, and UDP, whereas adenosine inhibits RVD. Goldfish hepatocytes release more than 500 nM ATP during the first minutes of HYPO with no induction of RVD. The fact that similar concentrations of ATPγS did trigger RVD could be explained by showing that ATPγS induced ATP release. Finally, we observed that in a very small extracellular volume, hepatocytes do show a 56% RVD. This response was diminished by P2 receptor antagonists (73%) and increased (73%) when the extracellular ATP hydrolysis was inhibited 72%. Using a mathematical model, we predict that during the first 2 min of HYPO exposure the extracellular [ATP] is mainly governed by ATP diffusion and by both nonlytic and lytic ATP release, with almost no contribution from ecto-ATPase activity. We show that goldfish hepatocytes under standard HYPO (large volume) do not display RVD unless this is triggered by the addition of micromolar concentrations of nucleotides. However, under very low assay volumes, sufficient endogenous extracellular [ATP] can build up to induce RVD.

Astrocytes initially swell when exposed to hypotonic medium but rapidly return to normal volume by the process of regulatory volume decrease (RVD). The role that arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays in hypotonically mediated RVD in astrocytes is unknown. This study was therefore designed to determine whether AVP might play a role in astrocyte RVD. With the use of 3- O-[3H]methyl-d-glucose to determine water space, AVP treatment resulted in significantly increased 3- O-methyl-d-glucose water space within 30 s of hypotonic exposure ( P = 0.0001) and remained significantly elevated above baseline (1.75 μl/mg protein) at 5 min ( P < 0.021). In contrast, in untreated cells, complete RVD was achieved by 5 min. At 30 s, cell volume with AVP treatment was 37% greater than in cells that received no treatment (2.9 vs. 2.26 μl/mg protein, respectively; P < 0.006). The rate of cell volume increase (dV/d t) over 30 s was highly significant (0.038 vs. 0.019 μl ⋅ mg protein−1 ⋅ s−1in the AVP-treated vs. untreated group; P = 0.0004 by regression analysis). Additionally, the rate of cell volume decrease over the next 4.5 min was also significantly greater with vasopressin treatment (−dV/d t = 0.0027 vs. 0.0013 μl ⋅ mg protein−1 ⋅ s−1; P = 0.0306). The effect of AVP was concentration dependent with EC50= 3.5 nM. To determine whether AVP action was receptor mediated, we performed RVD studies in the presence of the V1-receptor antagonists benzamil and ethylisopropryl amiloride and the V2-receptor agonist 1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP). Both V1-receptor antagonists significantly inhibited AVP-mediated volume increase by 40–47% ( P < 0.005), whereas DDAVP had no stimulatory effects above control. Taken together, these data suggest that AVP treatment of brain astrocytes in culture appears to increase 3- O-methyl-d-glucose water space during RVD through V1receptor-mediated mechanisms. The significance of these findings is presently unclear.

The volume of certain subpopulations of trabecular meshwork (TM) cells may modify outflow resistance of aqueous humor, thereby altering intraocular pressure. This study examines the contribution that Na+/H+, Cl−/HCO[Formula: see text]exchange, and K+-Cl− efflux mechanisms have on the volume of TM cells. Volume, Cl− currents, and intracellular Ca2+ activity of cultured human TM cells were studied with calcein fluorescence, whole cell patch clamping, and fura 2 fluorescence, respectively. At physiological bicarbonate concentration, the selective Na+/H+ antiport inhibitor dimethylamiloride reduced isotonic cell volume. Hypotonicity triggered a regulatory volume decrease (RVD), which could be inhibited by the Cl− channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB), the K+channel blockers Ba2+ and tetraethylammonium, and the K+-Cl− symport blocker [(dihydroindenyl)oxy]alkanoic acid. The fluid uptake mechanism in isotonic conditions was dependent on bicarbonate; at physiological levels, the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor dimethylamiloride reduced cell volume, whereas at low levels the Na+-K+-2Cl− symport inhibitor bumetanide had the predominant effect. Patch-clamp measurements showed that hypotonicity activated an outwardly rectifying, NPPB-sensitive Cl− channel displaying the permeability ranking Cl− > methylsulfonate > aspartate. 2,3-Butanedione 2-monoxime antagonized actomyosin activity and both increased baseline [Ca2+] and abolished swelling-activated increase in [Ca2+], but it did not affect RVD. Results indicate that human TM cells display a Ca2+-independent RVD and that volume is regulated by swelling-activated K+ and Cl− channels, Na+/H+ antiports, and possibly K+-Cl− symports in addition to Na+-K+-2Cl− symports.

Volume Decrease

Neuronal activity in the retina generates osmotic gradients that lead to Müller cell swelling, followed by a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) response, partially due to the isoosmotic efflux of KCl and water. However, our previous studies in a human Müller cell line (MIO-M1) demonstrated that an important fraction of RVD may also involve the efflux of organic solutes. We also showed that RVD depends on the swelling-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Here we investigate the contribution of taurine (Tau) and glutamate (Glu), the most relevant amino acids in Müller cells, to RVD through the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), as well as their Ca2+ dependency in MIO-M1 cells. Swelling-induced [3H]Tau/[3H]Glu release was assessed by radiotracer assays and cell volume by fluorescence videomicroscopy. Results showed that cells exhibited an osmosensitive efflux of [3H]Tau and [3H]Glu (Tau > Glu) blunted by VRAC inhibitors 4-(2-butyl-6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentylindan-1-on-5-yl)-oxybutyric acid and carbenoxolone reducing RVD. Only [3H]Tau efflux was mainly dependent on Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. RVD was unaffected in a Ca2+-free medium, probably due to Ca2+-independent Tau and Glu release, but was reduced by chelating intracellular Ca2+. The inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase reduced [3H]Glu efflux but also the Ca2+-insensitive [3H]Tau fraction and decreased RVD, providing evidence of the relevance of this Ca2+-independent pathway. We propose that VRAC-mediated Tau and Glu release has a relevant role in RVD in Müller cells. The observed disparities in Ca2+ influence on amino acid release suggest the presence of VRAC isoforms that may differ in substrate selectivity and regulatory mechanisms, with important implications for retinal physiology. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The mechanisms for cell volume regulation in retinal Müller cells are still unknown. We show that swelling-induced taurine and glutamate release mediated by the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) largely contributes the to the regulatory volume decrease response in a human Müller cell line. Interestingly, the hypotonic-induced efflux of these amino acids exhibits disparities in Ca2+-dependent and -independent regulatory mechanisms, which strongly suggests that Müller cells may express different VRAC heteromers formed by the recently discovered leucine-rich repeat containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins.

Video microscopy was used to study the regulation of cell volume in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes. Myocytes rapidly (less than or equal to 2 min) swelled and shrank in hyposmotic and hyperosmotic solutions, respectively, and this initial volume response was maintained without a regulatory volume decrease or increase for 20 min. Relative cell volumes (normalized to isosmotic solution, 1T) were as follows: 1.41 +/- 0.01 in 0.6T, 1.20 +/- 0.04 in 0.8T, 0.71 +/- 0.04 in 1.8T, and 0.57 +/- 0.03 in 2.6T. These volume changes were significantly less than expected if all of the measured volume was osmotically active water. Changes in width and thickness were significantly greater than changes in cell length. The idea that cotransport contributes to cell volume regulation was tested by inhibiting Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport with bumetanide (BUM) and Na(+)-Cl- cotransport with chlorothiazide (CTZ). Under isotonic conditions, a 10-min exposure to BUM (1 microM), CTZ (100 microM), or BUM (10 microM) plus CTZ (100 microM) decreased relative cell volume to 0.87 +/- 0.01, 0.86 +/- 0.02, and 0.82 +/- 0.04, respectively. BUM plus CTZ also modified the response to osmotic stress. Swelling in 2.6T medium was 76% greater and shrinkage in 0.6T medium was 29% less than in the absence of diuretics. In contrast to the rapid effects of diuretics, inhibition of the Na(+)-K+ pump with 10 microM ouabain for 20 min did not affect cell volume in 1T solution. Nevertheless, ouabain decreased swelling in 0.6T medium by 52% and increased shrinkage in 1.8T medium by 34%. These data suggest that under isotonic conditions Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- and Na(+)-Cl- cotransport are critical in establishing cell volume, but osmoregulation can compensate for Na(+)-K+ pump inhibition for at least 20 min. Under anisotonic conditions, the Na(+)-K+ pump and Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- and/or Na(+)-Cl- cotransport are important in myocyte volume regulation.

Flow-induced cytosolic Ca2+ Cai2+ signaling in renal tubular epithelial cells is mediated in part through P2 receptor (P2R) activation by locally released ATP. The ability of P2R to regulate salt and water reabsorption has suggested a possible contribution of ATP release and paracrine P2R activation to cystogenesis and/or enlargement in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We and others have demonstrated in human ADPKD cyst cells the absence of flow-induced Cai2+ signaling exhibited by normal renal epithelial cells. We now extend these findings to primary and telomerase-immortalized normal and ADPKD epithelial cells of different genotype and of both proximal and distal origins. Flow-induced elevation of Cai2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was absent from ADPKD cyst cells, but in normal cells was mediated by flow-sensitive ATP release and paracrine P2R activation, modulated by ecto-nucleotidase activity, and abrogated by P2R inhibition or extracellular ATP hydrolysis. In contrast to the elevated ATP release from ADPKD cells in static isotonic conditions or in hypotonic conditions, flow-induced ATP release from cyst cells was lower than from normal cells. Extracellular ATP rapidly reduced thapsigargin-elevated [Ca2+]i in both ADPKD cyst and normal cells, but cyst cells lacked the subsequent, slow, oxidized ATP-sensitive [Ca2+]i recovery present in normal cells. Telomerase-immortalized cyst cells also exhibited altered CD39 and P2X7 mRNA levels. Thus the loss of flow-induced, P2R-mediated Cai2+ signaling in human ADPKD cyst epithelial cells was accompanied by reduced flow-sensitive ATP release, altered purinergic regulation of store-operated Ca2+ entry, and altered expression of gene products controlling extracellular nucleotide signaling.

To gain insight into the mechanism(s) by which cells sense volume changes, specific predictions of the macromolecular crowding theory (A. P. Minton. In: Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Cell Volume Regulation, edited by K. Strange. Boca Raton, FL: CRC, 1994, p. 181-190. A. P. Minton, C. C. Colclasure, and J. C. Parker. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10504-10506, 1992) were tested on the volume of internally perfused barnacle muscle cells. This preparation was chosen because it allows assessment of the effect on cell volume of changes in the intracellular macromolecular concentration and size while maintaining constant the ionic strength, membrane stretch, and osmolality. The predictions tested were that isotonic replacement of large macromolecules by smaller ones should induce volume decreases proportional to the initial macromolecular concentration and size as well as to the magnitude of the concentration reduction. The experimental results were consistent with these predictions: isotonic replacement of proteins or polymers with sucrose induced volume reductions, but this effect was only observed when the replacement was > or = 25% and the particular macromolecule had an average molecular mass of < or = 20 kDa and a concentration of at least 18 mg/ml. Volume reduction was effected by a mechanism identical with that of hypotonicity-induced regulatory volume decrease, namely, activation of verapamil-sensitive Ca2+ channels.

P2Y receptor stimulation increases membrane Cl− permeability in biliary epithelial cells, but the source of extracellular nucleotides and physiological relevance of purinergic signaling to biliary secretion are unknown. Our objectives were to determine whether biliary cells release ATP under physiological conditions and whether extracellular ATP contributes to cell volume regulation and transepithelial secretion. With the use of a sensitive bioluminescence assay, constitutive ATP release was detected from human Mz-ChA-1 cholangiocarcinoma cells and polarized normal rat cholangiocyte monolayers. ATP release increased rapidly during cell swelling induced by hypotonic exposure. In Mz-ChA-1 cells, removal of extracellular ATP (apyrase) and P2 receptor blockade (suramin) reversibly inhibited whole cell Cl− current activation and prevented cell volume recovery during hypotonic stress. Moreover, exposure to apyrase induced cell swelling under isotonic conditions. In intact normal rat cholangiocyte monolayers, hypotonic perfusion activated apical Cl−currents, which were inhibited by addition of apyrase and suramin to bathing media. These findings indicate that modulation of ATP release by the cellular hydration state represents a potential signal coordinating cell volume with membrane Cl− permeability and transepithelial Cl−secretion.

Although animal cells swell in hypotonic medium, their volume is subsequently regulated by a net loss of KCl via Ca2(+)-dependent channels. A rise in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) thus appears to be an initial event in the adaptation of external tonicity, although details of this mechanism are not known. To investigate cell volume regulation, we measured [Ca2+]i (by use of fura-2) and cell diameters in single cells of cultured renal proximal convoluted tubule. We found that a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i occurred after cells were exposed to hypotonic solution (250 mosM) from 95.8 +/- 3.8 to 468.2 +/- 24 nM (n = 16). The rise in [Ca2+]i was not observed in cells exposed to Ca2(+)-free medium, and exposure to isotonic high-K or low-Na medium did not elicit a rise in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that this rise was a result of Ca2+ influx and not via voltage-dependent Ca2+ influx or decrease of Ca2+ efflux via Na(+)-Ca2+ pump. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin dose dependently blocked the rise in [Ca2+]i. The hypotonic solution enhanced accumulations of inositol tris- and tetra-phosphate after a 1-min exposure. Studies that measured cell diameters suggest that recovery of cell volume may include the rise in [Ca2+]i. These data suggest that the regulatory volume decrease of proximal tubule cells involves a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide binding protein-operated Ca2+ influx.

AbstractAnimal cells can regulate their volume after swelling by the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) mechanism. In epithelial cells, RVD is attained through KCl release mediated via volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl− channels (VSOR) and Ca2+-activated K+ channels. Swelling-induced activation of TRPM7 cation channels leads to Ca2+ influx, thereby stimulating the K+ channels. Here, we examined whether TRPM7 plays any role in VSOR activation. When TRPM7 was knocked down in human HeLa cells or knocked out in chicken DT40 cells, not only TRPM7 activity and RVD efficacy but also VSOR activity were suppressed. Heterologous expression of TRPM7 in TRPM7-deficient DT40 cells rescued both VSOR activity and RVD, accompanied by an increase in the expression of LRRC8A, a core molecule of VSOR. TRPM7 exerts the facilitating action on VSOR activity first by enhancing molecular expression of LRRC8A mRNA through the mediation of steady-state Ca2+ influx and second by stabilizing the plasmalemmal expression of LRRC8A protein through the interaction between LRRC8A and the C-terminal domain of TRPM7. Therefore, TRPM7 functions as an essential regulator of VSOR activity and LRRC8A expression.

We investigated cation transport and cell volume regulation in erythrocytes of CD1 and C57/B6 mice. Swelling of cells from either strain stimulated K+ efflux that was insensitive to ouabain, bumetanide, and clotrimazole. Seventy-five percent of swelling-induced K+ efflux was Cl- dependent (inhibited by sulfamate or methanesulfonate, partially by NO3-, but not by SCN-) and was inhibited by okadaic acid (OA; 50% inhibitory concentration = 18 +/- 6 nM in CD1 and 10 +/- 4 nM in C57/B6). In both strains, K+ efflux into isotonic medium was stimulated by staurosporine or by N-ethylmaleimide, and the latter was partially blocked by pretreatment of cells with OA. When cells of either strain were incubated in hypotonic medium or preswollen isosmotically with nystatin, OA-sensitive regulatory volume decrease (RVD) and K+ loss were observed. RVD produced by hypotonic swelling was prevented by Cl- replacement with sulfamate or methanesulfonate. These properties suggest the presence in outbred and inbred mouse erythrocytes of RVD mediated by K(+)-Cl- cotransport.
