| Abstract | Lithium transport across the cell membrane is interesting in the light of general cell physiology and because of its alteration during numerous human diseases. The mechanism of Li$^{+}$ transfer has been studied mainly in erythrocytes with a slow kinetics of ion exchange and therefore under the unbalanced ion distribution. Proliferating cultured cells with a rapid ion exchange have not been used practically in study of Li$^{+}$ transport. In the present paper, the kinetics of Li$^{+}$ uptake and exit, as well as its balanced distribution across the plasma membrane of U937 cells, were studied at minimal external Li$^{+}$ concentrations and after the whole replacement of external Na$^{+}$ for Li$^{+}$. It is found that a balanced Li$^{+}$ distribution attained at a high rate similar to that for Na$^{+}$ and Cl$^{−}$ and that Li$^{+}$/Na$^{+}$ discrimination under balanced ion distribution at 1–10 mM external Li$^{+}$ stays on 3 and drops to 1 following Na, K-ATPase pump blocking by ouabain. About 80% of the total Li$^{+}$ flux across the plasma membrane under the balanced Li$^{+}$ distribution at 5 mM external Li$^{+}$ accounts for the equivalent Li$^{+}$/Li$^{+}$ exchange. The majority of the Li$^{+}$ flux into the cell down the electrochemical gradient is a flux through channels and its small part may account for the NC and NKCC cotransport influxes. The downhill Li$^{+}$ influxes are balanced by the uphill Li$^{+}$ efflux involved in Li$^{+}$/Na$^{+}$ exchange. The Na$^{+}$ flux involved in the countertransport with the Li$^{+}$ accounts for about 0.5% of the total Na$^{+}$ flux across the plasma membrane. The study of Li$^{+}$ transport is an important approach to understanding the mechanism of the equivalent Li$^{+}$/Li$^{+}$/Na$^{+}$/Na$^{+}$ exchange, because no blockers of this mode of ion transfer are known and it cannot be revealed by electrophysiological methods. Cells cultured in the medium where Na$^{+}$ is replaced for Li$^{+}$ are recommended as an object for studying cells without the Na,K-ATPase pump and with very low intracellular Na$^{+}$ and K$^{+}$ concentration. |

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.
