Confluent monolayers of cultured porcine thyroid cells transport fluid from the apical to the basal surface, forming circumscribed zones of detachment from the culture dish substrate (domes). The transepithelial potential (TEP), positive on the basal side, was 12.9 +/- 0.4 (S.E.M.) mV (n = 93) under control conditions, increasing to 38.9 +/- 0.3 mV (n = 281) when fluid transport was stimulated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; 1 mumol/l). Forskolin (1 mumol/l) and 8-(4-chlorophenylthio) adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (0.5 mmol/l) were also effective in increasing TEP. Addition of amiloride in concentrations sufficient to block fluid transport (100 mumol/l) reduced the TEP to 5.8 +/- 0.3 mV (n = 76). Substitution of N-methyl-D-glucamine for sodium in the medium reduced the PGE2-stimulated TEP to 13.4 +/- 0.8 mV (n = 32). Substitution of gluconate for chloride increased the TEP to 40.3 +/- 0.4 mV (n = 160). Removal of bicarbonate or potassium from the medium, or addition of ouabain (200 mumol/l) were also effective in reducing the TEP. In media of low bicarbonate concentration (1 mmol NaHCO3/l), acetazolamide (1 mmol/l) reduced the TEP. Fluid transport by the monolayer as measured by the change in height of domes was increased by PGE2 (1 mumol/l). PGE2-stimulated fluid transport was inhibited by sodium or chloride ion substitution, bicarbonate removal or the addition of ouabain (200 mumol/l) or amiloride (100 mumol/l). It was concluded that fluid transport in thyroid monolayers is mediated by rheogenic sodium transport with chloride transport being passive, electrogenically coupled to sodium transport.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
