The lymphocyte Na+/H+ antiport: activation in primary hypertension and during chronic NaCl-loading.

Abstract：

:Increased activity of the Na+/H+ antiport may be a major abnormality in essential hypertension. The activity of this transport system was investigated in lymphocytes from 13 patients with untreated essential hypertension (Ht) and 13 normotensive control subjects (Nt) on an ad libitum (130-170 mmol d-1) NaCl intake. Furthermore, the effects of different states of NaCl balance on lymphocyte Na+/H+ antiport were evaluated in two groups of Nt volunteers receiving 20 vs. 300 mmol d-1 (n = 8) and 85 vs. 200 mmol d-1 (n = 14) of NaCl for 1 week each and in seven Ht patients (20 vs. 300 mmol NaCl d-1 for 1 week each). Additionally, during the 20 and 300 mmol/d NaCl intake red blood cell membrane transport was studied in eight subjects. For the determination of lymphocyte antiport activity, cells were loaded with the cytosolic pH (pHi) indicator bis-carboxyethyl carboxyfluorescein (BCECF-AM) and acidified by addition of different amounts of Na(+)-propionate (5-40 mM). Initial pHi-recovery was taken as the activity of the antiport system and plotted against pHi-values after acidification. Non-linear regression analysis yielded higher 'apparent' maximal transport rates in Ht than Nt (Nt: 2.00 +/- 0.22; Ht: (3.81 +/- 0.59) x 10(-3) s-1; P < 0.025). In contrast, baseline pHi-values and pHi-values at half-maximal activity (pK) were identical in Nt and Ht. In normotensive control subjects on an NaCl intake of 20, 85, 200 and 300 mmol d-1 for 7 d, 'apparent' maximal transport rates averaged 2.75 +/- 0.20, 2.89 +/- 0.17, 2.81 +/- 0.18 and (3.62 +/- 0.25) x 10(-3) s-1, respectively. Thus, antiport activity was significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated on the 300 mmol d-1 intake as compared to the three other NaCl intakes. The extreme intakes of NaCl (20 vs. 300 mmol d-1) in normotensive volunteers did not affect the erythrocyte Na+/K+ pump, Na+/K+ cotransport and Na+/Li+ countertransport. Our study supports the concept that a group of patients with primary hypertension exhibit an activated Na+/H+ antiport. Furthermore, our data demonstrate that a chronic high intake of NaCl is associated with an increase in lymphocyte antiport activity towards the high values observed in primary hypertension.
