Rat C6 glial cells undergo rapid regulatory volume increase (5-10 min) via electrolyte uptake when exposed to a hypertonic medium. With chronic exposure to hypertonicity (greater than 8 h), accumulated electrolyte is replaced partly by inositol. Inositol accumulation is brought about by upregulation of Na(+)-dependent inositol transport. When C6 cells acclimated chronically to hypertonic NaCl medium were returned to isotonic conditions, inositol levels dropped slowly from 478 nmol/mg protein towards control values (117 nmol/mg protein) in 18-24 h. Inositol loss occurred in part by efflux to the external medium via a pathway distinct from the uptake mechanism. Laser light-scattering measurements demonstrated that regulatory volume decrease (RVD) is slow under these experimental conditions. In contrast, cells exposed acutely to hypertonicity swell and then undergo a rapid and nearly complete RVD when returned to isotonic medium. These results suggest that slow inositol loss is rate limiting for RVD during recovery from chronic hypertonic stress. The slow inositol loss and RVD may be due to slow turnover of the efflux mechanism and/or slow downregulation of the hypertonically stimulated inositol uptake pathway.
