Abstract:
:Chloride (Cl(-)) movement across fetal lung epithelia is thought to be mediated by the sodium-potassium-2-Cl(-) cotransporter NKCC1. We studied the role of NKCC1 in Cl(-) and liquid secretion in late-gestation NKCC-null (-/-) and littermate control fetal mouse lung. NKCC -/- mice had decreased lung water compared with littermate controls (wet/dry: control, 8.01 +/- 0.09; NKCC -/-, 7.06 +/- 0.14). Liquid secretion by 17-d NKCC -/- distal lung explants was similar to control explants. Bumetanide inhibited basal liquid secretion in control but not NKCC -/- explants (expansion over 48 h: control, 35 +/- 4%; NKCC -/- 46 +/- 7%). Treatment with 4,4'-diisothiocyanto-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) decreased liquid secretion in both control and NKCC -/- explants. Basal transepithelial potential difference (PD) of control tracheal explants was higher than that of NKCC -/- (control, -13.7 +/- 0.5 mV; NKCC -/-, -11.6 +/- 0.6 mV). Amiloride (10(-)(4) M) inhibited basal PD to the same extent in control and NKCC -/- mice. Terbutaline-stimulated hyperpolarization was less in NKCC -/- than in control tracheas (DeltaPD: control, -10.8 +/- 1.33 mV; NKCC -/-, -6.1 +/- 0.7 mV) and was inhibited by DIDS and acetazolamide in NKCC -/- but not wild-type explants. We conclude that NKCC is rate-limiting for transcellular Cl(-) transport, and that alternative anion transport mechanisms can sustain liquid production at near-normal levels in the fetal NKCC -/- mouse lung.
