Exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa triggers the apoptotic cell death of Chang epithelial cells, and this depends on the expression of both the CD95 receptor and CD95 ligand. In lymphocytes CD95-mediated apoptosis is paralleled by the activation of outwardly rectifying Cl- channels. The present study was performed to explore whether P. aeruginosa-induced apoptosis of Chang epithelial cells is paralleled by activation of Cl- channels. According to whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, exposure of Chang epithelial cells to P. aeruginosa does lead to rapid activation of an outwardly rectifying Cl- -selective current. The current is inhibited by the Cl- channel blocker NPPB. Exposure of Chang epithelial cells to P. aeruginosa led to a significant decrease of cell membrane capacitance by 6%, pointing to a decrease in cell volume by 7%. Exposure to P. aeruginosa depolarized the mitochondrial membrane potential indicating apoptotic cell death. The decline of mitochondrial membrane potential was not significantly affected by NPPB. In conclusion, P. aeruginosa-induced apoptosis of Chang epithelial cells is paralleled by activation of Cl- channels. Activation of the channels participates in the alteration of cell volume but is not a prerequisite for P. aeruginosa-induced apoptosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D011550 Pseudomonas aeruginosa A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
