It is accepted that K+and Cl−flows are coupled tightly in regulatory volume decrease (RVD). However, using self referencing microelectrodes, we proved that K+and Cl−transport mainly by channels in RVD was uncoupled in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells, with the transient K+efflux activated earlier and sustained Cl−efflux activated later. Hypotonic challenges decreased intracellular pH (pHi), and activated a proton pump-dependent H+efflux, resulting in a decline of extracellular pH (pHo). Modest decreases of pHoinhibited the volume-activated K+outflow and RVD, but not the Cl−outflow, while inhibition of H+efflux or increase of pHobuffer ability promoted K+efflux and RVD. The results suggest that the temporal dynamics of K+channel activities is different from that of Cl−channels in RVD, due to differential sensitivity of K+and Cl−channels to pHo. H+efflux may play important roles in cell volume regulation, and may be a therapeutic target for human nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
