Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) urinary bladder ion and water transport is enhanced by acclimation to higher salinity to serve water balance.
Marine teleosts experience ion gain and water loss in their natural habitats. Among other tissues, the urinary bladder epithelium of marine fishes has been shown to actively transport ions to facilitate water absorption. However, transport properties of the urinary bladder epithelium of marine fishes and its plasticity in altered ambient salinities is relatively under-investigated. We describe urinary bladder epithelium electrophysiology, water flux, and expressions of ion transporters in urinary bladder tissue of Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) acclimated to either 35 ppt or 60 ppt seawater. Water absorption in bladder sac preparations increased ~ 350% upon acclimation to 60 ppt. Increases in water transport coincided with a significant ~ 137% increase in urinary bladder tissue mucosal-to-serosal short circuit current (Isc) and a ~ 56% decrease in tissue membrane resistance. Collectively, these metrics indicate that an active electrogenic system facilitates water absorption via Na+ (and Cl-) transport in urinary bladder tissue. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of urinary bladder tissue Isc and expression of a suite of ion transporters and channels previously unidentified in this tissue provide mechanistic insights into the transport processes responsible for water flux. Analysis of water transport to overall Gulf toadfish water balance reveals a modest water conservation role for the urinary bladder of ~ 0.5% of total water absorption in 35 ppt and 1.9% in 60 ppt acclimated toadfish. These results emphasize that electrogenic ion transport facilitates water-absorptive properties of the urinary bladder in Gulf toadfish - a process that is regulated to facilitate water homeostasis.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology publishes original investigations that illuminate normal or abnormal regulation and integration of physiological mechanisms at all levels of biological organization, ranging from molecules to humans, including clinical investigations. Major areas of emphasis include regulation in genetically modified animals; model organisms; development and tissue plasticity; neurohumoral control of circulation and hypertension; local control of circulation; cardiac and renal integration; thirst and volume, electrolyte homeostasis; glucose homeostasis and energy balance; appetite and obesity; inflammation and cytokines; integrative physiology of pregnancy-parturition-lactation; and thermoregulation and adaptations to exercise and environmental stress.
