We used ion-sensitive, double-barrel microelectrodes to measure changes in hepatocyte transmembrane potential (Vm), intracellular K+, Cl-, and Na+activities (aik,aCliandaNai), and water volume duringl-alanine uptake. Mouse liver slices were superfused with control and experimental Krebs physiological salt solutions. The experimental solution contained 20 μml-alanine, and the control solution was adjusted to the same osmolality (305 mOsm) with added sucrose. Hepatocytes also were loaded with 50 mmtetramethylammonium ion (TMA+) for 10 min. Changes in cell water volume duringl-alanine uptake were determined by changes in intracellular, steady-state TMA+activity measured with the K+electrode. Hepatocyte controlVmwas -33±1 mV.l-alanine uptake first depolarizedVmby 2±0.2 mV and then hyperpolarizedVmby 5 mV to-38±1 mV (n= 16) over 6 to 13 min. During this hyperpolarization,aNaiincreased by 30% from 19±2 to 25±3 mm(P< 0.01), andaKidid not change significantly from 83±3 mm. However, with added ouabain (1 mm)l-alanine caused only a 2-mV increase inVm, but nowaKidecreased from 61±3 to 54±5 mm(P< 0.05). Hyperpolarization ofVmbyl-alanine uptake also resulted in a 38% decrease ofaClifrom 20±2 to 12±3 mm(P< 0.001). Changes inVmandVCl—Vmvoltage traces were parallel during the time ofl-alanine hyperpolarization, which is consistent with passive distribution of intracellular Cl−with theVmin hepatocytes. Added Ba2+abolished thel-alanineinduced hyperpolarization, andaCliremained unchanged. Hepatocyte water volume duringl-alanine uptake increased by 12±3%. This swelling did not account for any changes in ion activities followingl-alanine uptake. We conclude that hepatocyteaKiis regulated by increased Na+-K+pump activity duringl-alanine uptake in spite of cell swelling and increasedVmdue to increased K+conductance. The hyperpolarization ofVmduringl-alanine uptake provides electromotive force to decreaseaCli. The latter may contribute to hepatocyte volume regulation during organic solute transport.
