To investigate regulatory volume decrease (RVD) and its mechanism in primary-culturing fetal human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells, living cell imaging technique was employed to detect the volume changes following exposure to hypotonic solution, and blockage of Cl- channels was used to clarify the role of Cl- channels in RVD. The results showed that extracellular hypotonic treatment swelled the cells and induced RVD. 47% hypotonic solution (160 mOsmol/L) swelled the cell by 144.7% and induced 38.7% recovery of cell volume within 20 min. RVD was correlated negatively to the extracellular osmolarity (r=-0.99, P<0.05) and positively to the swelling volume(r=0.99, P<0.05) in "S" shape, respectively. Chloride channel blockers, tamoxfen (20 micromol/ L), ATP (10 mmol/L) and NPPB (100 micromol/L), inhibited RVD by 100%, 76.3% and 62.7% (P< 0.01), respectively. The results indicated that primary-culturing fetal human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells are capable of RVD. Cl- efflux through Cl- channels is the key mechanism of RVD.
为研究原代培养的人胎儿鼻咽上皮细胞的调节性容积减小(RVD)及其机制,采用活细胞成像技术检测细胞暴露于低渗溶液后的容积变化,并通过阻断氯离子通道来阐明氯离子通道在RVD中的作用。结果显示,细胞外低渗处理使细胞肿胀并诱导了RVD。47%的低渗溶液(160 mOsmol/L)使细胞肿胀了144.7%,并在20分钟内诱导细胞容积恢复了38.7%。RVD分别与细胞外渗透压呈负相关(r = -0.99,P < 0.05),与肿胀容积呈正相关(r = 0.99,P < 0.05),呈“S”形关系。氯离子通道阻滞剂他莫昔芬(20 μmol/L)、ATP(10 mmol/L)和NPPB(100 μmol/L)分别使RVD抑制了100%、76.3%和62.7%(P < 0.01)。结果表明,原代培养的人胎儿鼻咽上皮细胞具有RVD能力。氯离子通过氯离子通道外流是RVD的关键机制。
