| Abstract | An increase in extracellular KCl ([KCl]o) occurs under various pathological conditions in the retina, leading to retinal swelling and possible neuronal damage. The mechanisms of this KClo-induced retinal swelling were investigated in the present study, with emphasis on the Cl− transport mechanisms. Increasing [KCl]o (from 5 to 70 mM) led to concentration-dependent swelling in chicken retinas. The curve relating the degree of swelling to [KCl]o was biphasic, with one component from 5 to 35 mM [KCl]o and another from 35 to 100 mM. As Cl− omission prevented swelling in all conditions, the effect of cotransporter or Cl− channel blockers was examined to investigate the mechanisms of Cl− influx. The cotransporter blockers bumetanide and DIOA reduced swelling by 68% and 76%, respectively at [KCl]o 25 mM (K25), and by 14–17% at [KCl]o 54 mM (K54). The Cl− channel blockers NPPB and niflumic acid did not affect swelling at K25 but reduced it by 90–95% at K54 (NPPB IC50 60.7 µM). Furosemide showed an atypical effect, decreasing swelling by 14% at K25 and by 95% at K54 (IC50 173.9 µM). Na+ omission decreased swelling at K25 but not at K54. These results suggest the contribution of cotransporters to Cl− influx at K25 and of Cl− channels at K54. At K25, swelling was found in the ganglion cell layer and in the lower half of the inner nuclear layer. With K54, swelling occurred in all inner retinal layers. The ganglion cell layer swelling was due to both Müller cell end-foot and ganglion cell soma swelling. K54 also induced ganglion cell damage as shown by disorganized, pyknotic and refringent nuclei. |

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.
