| Abstract | The Calu-3 human cell line exhibits features of submucosal gland serous cells and secretes HCO3 −. The aim of this study was to identify the HCO3 − transporters present in these cells by studying their role in the regulation of intracellular pH (pHi). Calu-3 cells were grown on coverslips, loaded with the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye BCECF, and their fluorescence intensity monitored as an indication of pHi. Cells were acidified with NH4Cl (25 mm, 1 min) and pHi recovery recorded. In the absence of HCO3 −, initial recovery was 0.208 ± 0.016 pH units min−1 (n = 37). This was almost abolished by removal of extracellular Na+ and by amiloride (1 mm), consistent with the activity of a Na+-H+ exchanger (NHE). In the presence of HCO3 − and CO2, recovery (0.156 ± 0.018 pH units min−1) was abolished (reduced by 91.8 ± 6.7 %, n = 7) by removal of Na+ but only attenuated (by 63.3 ± 5.8 %, n = 9) by amiloride. 4,4-Dinitrostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DNDS) inhibited recovery by 45.8 ± 5.0 % (n = 7). The amiloride-insensitive recovery was insensitive to changes in membrane potential, as confirmed by direct microelectrode measurements, brought about by changing extracellular [K+] in the presence of either valinomycin or the K+ channel opener 1-EBIO. In addition, forskolin (10 μm), which activates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl− conductance in these cells and depolarises the cell membrane, had no effect on recovery. Removal of extracellular Cl− trebled pHi recovery rates, suggesting that an electroneutral, DNDS-sensitive, Cl−-HCO3 − exchanger together with a NHE may be involved in pHi regulation and HCO3 − secretion in these cells. RT-PCR detected the expression of the electrogenic Na+-HCO3 − cotransporter NBC1 and the Cl−-HCO3 − exchanger (AE2) but not the electroneutral Na+-HCO3 − cotransporter NBCn1. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
