Thapsigargin blocks Pseudomonas aeruginosa homoserine lactone-induced apoptosis in airway epithelia.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-homoserine lactone (C12) as a quorum-sensing molecule to regulate gene expression. Micromolar concentrations are found in the airway surface liquid of infected lungs. Exposure of the airway surface to C12 caused a loss of transepithelial resistance within 1 h that was accompanied by disassembly of tight junctions, as indicated by relocation of...
متن کاملEffects of changes in mucosal solution Cl- or K+ concentration on cell water volume of Necturus gallbladder epithelium
An electrophysiologic technique was used to measure changes in cell water volume in response to isosmotic luminal solution ion replacement. Intracellular Cl- activity (aCl-i) was measured and net flux determined from the changes in volume and activity. Reduction of luminal solution [Cl-] from 98 to 10 mM (Cl- replaced with cyclamate) resulted in a large fall in aCl-i with no significant change ...
متن کاملOsmotic regulation of intestinal epithelial Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport: role of Cl- and F-actin.
Previous data indicate that adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate activates the epithelial basolateral Na+-K+-Cl-cotransporter in microfilament-dependent fashion in part by direct action but also in response to apical Cl- loss (due to cell shrinkage or decreased intracellular Cl-). To further address the actin dependence of Na+-K+-Cl-cotransport, human epithelial T84 monolayers were exposed to a...
متن کاملPotassium-dependent volume regulation in retinal pigment epithelium is mediated by Na,K,Cl cotransport
Changes in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell volume were measured by monitoring changes in intracellular tetramethylammonium (TMA) using double-barreled K-resin microelectrodes. Hyperosmotic addition of 25 or 50 mM mannitol to the Ringer of the apical bath resulted in a rapid (approximately 30 s) osmometric cell shrinkage. The initial cell shrinkage was followed by a much slower (minutes) s...
متن کاملMyosin regulation of NKCC1: effects on cAMP-mediated Cl- secretion in intestinal epithelia.
The basally located actin cytoskeleton has been demonstrated previously to regulate Cl-secretion from intestinal epithelia via its effects on the Na+-K+-2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC1). In nontransporting epithelia, inhibition of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) prevents cell-shrinkage-induced activation of NKCC1. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of myosin in the regulation of secret...
