Abstract:
:Recent physiological and pharmacological studies have implicated involvement of the Na/H exchanger (NHE) in regulating inner ear ion homeostasis, but the cellular distribution of this membrane transporter remains unknown. Here reverse transcription and the polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were employed to screen adult gerbil inner ears for mRNA transcripts encoding the four best characterized isoforms of NHE. PCR products spanning selected segments of NHE mRNAs were cloned and sequenced. The putative housekeeping gene NHE-1 was found to be expressed and the 459 bp product shared 98.7% amino acid homology with rat sequence. NHE-2, NHE-3 and NHE-4 cDNA transcripts likewise were detected and the PCR products shared 100, 99.4 and 88.9% amino acid homology, respectively, with their rat counterparts. In addition, the cellular distribution of NHE isoforms 1 and 3 was mapped in the gerbil inner ear by immunostaining with polyclonal antisera against rat antigens. In the cochlea, the antiserum against NHE-1 reacted strongly at the basolateral membrane of strial marginal cells as well as with inner and outer hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. Less intense staining for NHE-1 was present in subpopulations of fibrocytes in the spiral limbus and in inferior and superior areas of the spiral ligament. In the vestibular system dark and transitional cells expressed abundant NHE-1 as did hair cells and vestibular ganglia neurons. Immunostaining with the antiserum against NHE-3 was limited to the apical surface of marginal cells in the stria vascularis. Based on these data, NHE-1 likely functions primarily to maintain intracellular pH levels in cells where it is found in high abundance. NHE-3, on the other hand, possibly participates in the vectorial transcellular movement of Na+ by strial marginal cells thus helping to maintain the extremely low Na+ level in cochlear endolymph.
