The Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) constitutes a gene family containing several isoforms that display different membrane localization and are involved in specialized functions. Although basolateral NHE-1 activity was described in the cortical collecting duct (CCD), the localization and function of other NHE isoforms is not yet clear, This study examines the expression, localization, and regulation of NHE isoforms in a rat cortical collecting duct cell line (RCCD1) that has previously been shown to be a good model of CCD cells. Present studies demonstrate the presence of NHE-1 and NHE-2 isoforms, but not NHE-3 and NHE-4, in RCCD1 cells. Cell monolayers, grown on permeable filters, were placed on special holders allowing independent access to apical and basolateral compartments. Intracellular pH (pHi) regulation was spectrofluorometrically studied in basal conditions and after stimulation by NH4Cl acid load or by a hyperosmotic shock. In order to differentiate the roles of NHE-1 and NHE-2, we have used HOE-694, an inhibitor more selective for NHE-1 than for NHE-2. The results obtained strongly suggest that NHE-1 and NHE-2 are expressed in the basolateral membrane but that they have different roles: NHE-1 is responsible for pHi recovery after an acid load and NHE-2 is mainly involved in steady-state pHi and cell volume regulation.

Unlabelled: Effects of testosterone on expression and functional activity of ENaC, CFTR and NHE in vas deferens were investigated.
Methods: Orchidectomized, adult male rats were given 125 and 250 μg/kg/day testosterone subcutaneously, with or without flutamide and finasteride for seven consecutive days. At the end of the treatment, rats were anesthetized and vas deferens were perfused.

Cytoplasmic pH homeostasis is required for an appropriate response in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). In these cells, chemotaxis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production are reduced by the use of Na/H exchanger (NHE-1) inhibitors, but these results are mainly obtained using amiloride, a non-selective NHE-1 inhibitor. In bovine PMNs, the role of NHE-1 in functional responses has not been confirmed yet.

The intracellular pH (pHi) of syncytiotrophoblasts is regulated, in part, by Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE)-1, NHE-2, and NHE-3. Failures in pHi homeostasis could alter critical cellular functions such as water transport and cell volume. Here, we evaluated whether alterations in syncytiotrophoblast pHi could modify water uptake mediated by aquaporins (AQPs) and the contribution of NHEs to this mechanism.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is linked to the pathogenesis of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). We explored signaling pathways activated by EGF in orpk cilia (-) collecting duct cell line derived from a mouse model of PKD (hypomorph of the Tg737/Ift88 gene) with severely stunted cilia, and in a control orpk cilia (+) cell line with normal cilia. RT-PCR demonstrated mRNAs for EGF receptor subunits ErbB1, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, and mRNAs for Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE), NHE-1, NHE-2, NHE-3, NHE-4, and NHE-5 in both cell lines.
