Abstract

Hepatocellular Cl- flux is integral to maintaining cell volume and electroneutrality in the face of the many transport and metabolic activities that describe the multifaceted functions of these cells. Although a significant volume-regulated Cl- current (VRAC) has been well described in hepatocytes, the Cl- channels underlying the large resting anion conductance have not been identified. We used a combination of electrophysiological and molecular approaches to describe potential candidates for this conductance. Anion currents in rat hepatocytes and WIF-B and HEK293T cells were measured under patch electrode-voltage clamp. With K+-free salts of Cl- comprising the major ions externally and internally, hyperpolarizing steps between -40 and -140 mV activated a time-dependent inward current in hepatocytes. Steady-state activation was half-maximal at -63 mV and 28-38% of maximum at -30 to -45 mV, previously reported hepatocellular resting potentials. Gating was dependent on cytosolic Cl-, shifting close to 58 mV/10-fold change in Cl- concentration. Time-dependent inward Cl- currents and a ClC-2-specific RT-PCR product were also observed in WIF-B cells but not HEK293T cells. All cell types exhibited typical VRAC in response to dialysis...Continue Reading
