Abstract
PH gradient-dependent sodium transport in highly purified rat parotid basolateral membrane vesicles was studied under voltage-clamped conditions. In the presence of an outwardly directed H+ gradient (pHin=6.0, pHout=8.0)22Na uptake was approximately ten times greater than uptake measured at pH equilibrium (pHin=pHout=6.0). More than 90% of this sodium flux was inhibited by the potassium-sparing diuretic drug amiloride (K 1 =1.6 μm) while the transport inhibitors furosemide (1mm), bumetanide (1mm) SITS (0.5mm) and DIDS (0.1mm) were without effect. This transport activity copurified with the basolateral membrane marker K+-stimulatedp-nitrophenyl phosphatase. In addition22Na uptake into the vesicles could be driven against a concentration gradient by an outwardly directed H+ gradient. pH gradient-dependent sodium flux exhibited a simple Michaelis-Menten-type dependence on sodium concentration cosistent with the existence of a single transport system withK M =8.0mm at 23°C. A component of pH gradient-dependent, amiloride-sensitive sodium flux was also observed in rabbit parotid basolateral membrane vesicles. These results provide strong evidence for the existence of a Na+/H+ antiport in rat and rabbit parotid acinar basolateral membranes and extend earlier less direct studies which suggested that such a transporter was present in salivary acinar cells and might play a significant role in salivary fluid secretion.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
