GSH depletion, K-Cl cotransport, and regulatory volume decrease in high-K/high-GSH dog red blood cells.

چکیده
Thiol reagents activate K-Cl cotransport (K-Cl COT), the Cl-dependent and Na-independent ouabain-resistant K flux, in red blood cells (RBCs) of several species, upon depletion of cellular glutathione (GSH). K-Cl COT is physiologically active in high potassium (HK), high GSH (HG) dog RBCs. In this unique model, we studied whether the same inverse relationship exists between GSH levels and K-Cl COT activity found in other species. The effects of GSH depletion by three different chemical reactions [nitrite (NO(2))-mediated oxidation, diazene dicarboxylic acid bis-N,N-dimethylamide (diamide)-induced dithiol formation, and glutathione S-transferase (GST)-catalyzed conjugation of GSH with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB)] were tested on K-Cl COT and regulatory volume decrease (RVD). After 85% GSH depletion, all three interventions stimulated K-Cl COT half-maximally with the following order of potency: diamide > NO(2) > CDNB. Repletion of GSH reversed K-Cl COT stimulation by 50%. Cl-dependent RVD accompanied K-Cl COT activation by NO(2) and diamide. K-Cl COT activation at concentration ratios of oxidant/GSH greater than unity was irreversible, suggesting either nitrosothiolation, heterodithiol formation, or GST-mediated dinitrophenylation of protein thiols. The data support the hypothesis that an intact redox system, rather than the absolute GSH levels, protects K-Cl COT activity and cell volume regulation from thiol modification.

Coordinated regulation of shrinkage-induced Na/H exchange and swelling- induced [K-Cl] cotransport in dog red cells. Further evidence from activation kinetics and phosphatase inhibition
Hypertonic shrinkage of dog red cells caused rapid activation of Na/H exchange and rapid deactivation of [K-Cl] cotransport. Hypotonic swelling caused delayed deactivation of Na/H exchange and delayed activation of [K-Cl] cotransport. Okadaic acid stimulated shrinkage-induced Na/H exchange and inhibited swelling-induced [K-Cl] cotransport. The data are compatible with the kinetic model of Jenni...
متن کاملCytosolic protein concentration is the primary volume signal for swelling-induced [K-Cl] cotransport in dog red cells
Chloride-dependent K transport ([K-Cl] cotransport) in dog red cells is activated by cell swelling. Whether the volume signal is generated by a change in cell configuration or by the dilution of some cytosolic constituent is not known. To differentiate between these two alternatives we prepared resealed ghosts that, compared with intact red cells, had the same surface area and similar hemoglobi...
متن کاملRED CELLS Expression of HbC and HbS, but not HbA, results in activation of K-Cl cotransport activity in transgenic mouse red cells
Elevation of K-Cl cotransport in patients with homozygous hemoglobin (Hb) S or HbC increases red cell mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and contributes significantly to pathology. Elucidation of the origin of elevated K-Cl cotransport in red cells with mutant hemoglobins has been confounded by the concomitant presence of reticulocytes with high K-Cl cotransport. In red cells of c...

متن کاملRegulatory volume decrease in carp red blood cells: mechanisms and oxygenation-dependency of volume-activated potassium and amino acid transport
Hypo-osmotic swelling of carp red blood cells (RBCs) induced a regulatory volume decrease (RVD), which restored the original cell volume within 140 min in oxygenated RBCs, whereas volume recovery was incomplete in deoxygenated RBCs. The complete RVD in oxygenated RBCs resulted from a sustained volume-activated release of K+, Cl- and amino acids (AAs). In the absence of ouabain, the cells also l...
