Abstract
To study the mechanisms of branchial acid-base regulation, Pacific spiny dogfish were infused intravenously for 24 h with either HCl (495± 79μ mol kg-1 h-1) or NaHCO3 (981±235μ mol kg-1 h-1). Infusion of HCl produced a transient reduction in blood pH. Despite continued infusion of acid, pH returned to normal by 12 h. Infusion of NaHCO3 resulted in a new steady-state acid-base status at ∼0.3 pH units higher than the controls. Immunostained serial sections of gill revealed the presence of separate vacuolar proton ATPase (V-H+-ATPase)-rich or sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase)-rich cells in all fish examined. A minority of the cells also labeled positive for both transporters. Gill cell membranes prepared from NaHCO3-infused fish showed significant increases in both V-H+-ATPase abundance (300±81%) and activity. In addition, we found that V-H+-ATPase subcellular localization was mainly cytoplasmic in control and HCl-infused fish, while NaHCO3-infused fish demonstrated a distinctly basolateral staining pattern. Western analysis in gill membranes from HCl-infused fish also revealed increased abundance of Na+/H+ exchanger 2 (213±5%) and Na+/K+-ATPase (315±88%) compared to the control.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
