Na-K-2ClCOTRANSPORTBRSIN ECCRINE CLEAR CELLS AND THEIR REXXJLATlONBY PROTEINKINASE A AND THEIR INHIBITION BY PROTEIN KINASE C. T. Tovomoto. D. Knutsen. M. Qhtsuvama. F. Saw. S. Cavallin. and K. Sam, Marshall Demntological Research Laboratories, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa. USA. The pharmacologicalbasis for the regulation of ion wnspmt during sweat secretion is still poorly understood,particularly the mechanismfor regulation of Na-K-2CI coaanspmters. Although the presenceof Na-K-2Clcotmnsportershas been predicted in the sweat clear cells, direct evidence has been lacking. It has teen puzzling how the drastic cell shrinkageafter cholinergic (ACb) stimulationcan be mitigated for sustained sweat secretion. Na-K-2CIcotramportersare involved in cell volume regulation and thus their regulation can be studied by dewmining cell volume regulation. Using the image analysis m&cd and collagenasedissoci eccrineclear cells, we obsawd fhaf 0.1 mM bum&wide inhibited pseudo-regulatoryvolume increase(PRVI,ncovq of cell volume from cell shrinkage which occurswhen the medium is stitched from hypootonicm isotonic),pardal ceIIvolumrecoveryduring MCh-inducedce.II sbrinkage(VRPMS),and regulatory cell volume increaseduring hyperosmoticshock (RVI). suggesting that coUans*ortersare involved in ceIIvolume xcovery following various osmotic perturbations.

We postulate rhat the Na-K-2Clcotransponerxwhich are involved in cell volume regulation BT~also involved in sweat secretionand that the cohansportersax stimulated by protein phosphorylationby PKA but inhibited by PKC.
