Steady-state membrane potential (Vm) and intracellular Cl−activity (aCli) were measured with double-barreled Cl−-selective microelectrodes in mouse liver slices. In bathing solutions (33.8° C) containing pyruvate, glutamate, fumarate, and glucose,VmandaCliwere −27.6 ± 1.0 mV and 32.6 ± 1.5 mM, respectively. This apparent value ofaCliexceeded the level required for passive distribution of this ion (aCleq= 26.4 ± 1.3 mM) by 6.2 ± 1.0 mM. This difference was essentially unchanged in experiments where (i) Na+was replaced by choline, (ii) HCO3−was removed, and (iii) Cl−was replaced by gluconate. These data argue against the presence of Na+- or HCO3−-coupled Cl−transport mechanisms in the plasma membrane of mouse liver cells. This implies thataCliis in fact at equilibrium and interference with the response of Cl−-selective microelectrodes by intracellular anions is responsible for the apparent difference betweenaCliandaCleq. We found that Cl−-selective microelectrodes containing Corning 477315 ligand are sensitive to taurocholate, a representative bile salt. Their selectivity to taurocholate is about 60-times their selectivity towards Cl−. This suggests that interference of bile acids at concentrations normally present in hepatocytes with determinations ofaClican account for the apparent differenceaCli−aCleq.
