We have applied an electrophysiologic technique (Reuss L.(1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82, 6014) to measure changes in steady-state hepatocyte volume during osmotic stress. Hepatocytes in mouse liver slices were loaded with tetramethylammonium ion (TMA+) during transient exposure of cell to nystatin. Intracellular TMA+ activity (α i TMA) was measured with TMA+-sensitive, double-barrelled microelectrodes. Loading hepatocytes with TMA+ did not change their membrane potential (V m), and under steady-state conditions α i TMA remained constant over 4 min in a single impalement. Hyperosmotic solutions (50, 100 and 150 mM sucrose added to media) and hyposmotic solutions (sucrose in media reduced by 50 and 100 mM) increased and decreased α i TMA, respectively, which demonstrated transmembrane water movements. The slope of the plot of change in steady-state cell water volume,[(α i TMA) O/(α i TMA) 4 min]− 1, on the relative osmolality of media,(experimental mosmol/control mosmol)− 1, was less than predicted for a perfect osmometer. Corresponding measurements of V m showed that its magnitude increased with hyposmolality and decreased with hyperosmolality. When Ba 2+(2 mM) was present during hyposmotic stress of 0.66× 286 mosmol (control), cell water volume increased by a factor of 1.44±0.02 compared with that of hyposmotic stress alone, which increased cell water volume by a factor of only 1.12±0.02, P< 0.001. Ba 2+ also decreased the hyperpolarization of hyposmotic stress from a factor of 1.62±0.04 to 1.24±0.09, P< 0.01. We conclude that hepatocytes partially regulate their steady-state volume during hypo-and hyperosmotic stress. However, volume regulation during hyposmotic stress diminished along with hyperpolarization of V m in the presence of the K+-channel blocker, Ba 2+. This shows that variation in V m during osmotic stress provides an intercurrent, electromotive force for hepatocyte volume regulation.
