Na/K/Cl cotransport in cultured human fibroblasts

NE Owen and ML Prastein

The transport characteristics and regulation of the Na/K/Cl cotransport system were investigated in cultured human fibroblasts (HSWP cells). The existence of the system was documented by the finding that digitoxin-insensitive K+ influx was dependent upon the presence of both Na+ and Cl- in the extracellular milieu. It was found that only Br- could partially substitute for Cl-, with SCN-, I-, acetate, and gluconate being ineffective. Li+ could partially substitute for Na+; however, choline was without effect. The shape of the titration curves for K+ influx versus extracellular Cl- concentration was dependent upon the substituted anion. Furthermore, the apparent Km for Cl- at saturating [K+]o and [Na+]o, was also dependent upon the substituted anion and ranged from 30 mM (gluconate substitution) to 100 mM (acetate substitution). The titration curves for K+ influx versus extracellular Na+ concentration displayed hyperbolic kinetics and the apparent Km = 15 mM at saturating [K+]o. The curve for K+ influx versus extracellular K+ concentration was a hyperbola and the apparent Km for K+ = 3 mM at saturating [Na+]o. The digitoxin-insensitive K+ flux was found to be sensitive to related 5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid derivatives, commonly known as "loop" diuretics and to be insensitive to both: amiloride (3,5- diamino-N-(aminoiminomethyl)-6-chloropyrazinecarboxamide++ +) and 4- acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. The Na/K/Cl cotransport system was not stimulated by serum, but was slightly stimulated by two peptide mitogens. Furthermore, agents which cause an elevation in cellular cyclic AMP levels were found to be potent inhibitors of cotransport.
