A noninvasive scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET) was applied to measure Cl- transport at individual mitochondrion-rich cells (MRCs) in the skin of euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) larvae. In seawater (SW)-acclimated larvae, outward Cl- gradients (20-80 mM higher than the background) were measured at the surface, indicating a secretion of Cl- from the skin. By serial probing over the surface of MRCs and adjacent keratinocytes (KCs), a significant outward flux of Cl…

Functional plasticity of mitochondrion-rich cells in the skin of euryhaline medaka larvae (Oryzias latipes) subjected to salinity changes.

Evidence is provided demonstrating that ACs are required for Na(+) excretion and MRCs possess a functional plasticity in changing from a Na(+)/Cl(-)-secreting cell to a Na-+/Cl(-)absorbing cell.

New insights into gill ionocyte and ion transporter function in euryhaline and diadromous fish

clc-2c is regulated by salinity, prolactin and extracellular osmolality in tilapia gill.

It is suggested that hormonal and osmotic control of branchial clc-2c contributes to the FW adaptability of Mozambique tilapia and for the first time a regulatory link between Prl and a Clc Cl- channel in a vertebrate is identified.

Morphofunctional modifications in gill mitochondria-rich cells of Mozambique tilapia transferred from freshwater to 70% seawater, detected by dual observations of whole-mount immunocytochemistry and scanning electron microscopy.

Prolactin restores branchial mitochondrion-rich cells expressing Na+/Cl- cotransporter in hypophysectomized Mozambique tilapia.

The essential nature of PRL to survival of Mozambique tilapia in FW is derived, at least in part, from its ability to stimulate the recruitment of MRCs that express NCC, while recruitment of SW-type MRC’s does not require pituitary mediation in this euryhalinetilapia.

The inner opercular membrane of the euryhaline teleost: a useful surrogate model for comparisons of different characteristics of ionocytes between seawater- and freshwater-acclimated medaka

The opercular membrane could be a useful surrogate model for histological and functional studies on the epithelial ionocytes of fish gills, and histochemical staining of AgCl precipitation counterstained with a Na+, K+-ATPase α-subunit antibody on the opercular membranes illustrated the role of Cl− secretion in the SW-type ionocyte of the brackish medaka.

Functional classification of gill ionocytes and spatiotemporal changes in their distribution after transfer from seawater to freshwater in Japanese seabass

Gill ionocytes in Japanese seabass originate from undifferentiated cells in the filaments and expand their distribution to the lamellae during freshwater acclimation, suggesting functional plasticity of ionocytes.

Despite uncertainty about electrochemical gradients, evidence has accrued that epithelial Na+/H+ exchange indeed may be an alternative pathway for Na+ uptake, and data have supported the presence of an apical Na+ +‰Cl− cotransporter (NCC‐type), despite thermodynamic uncertainty.

Salt secretion is linked to acid-base regulation of ionocytes in seawater-acclimated medaka: new insights into the salt-secreting mechanism

The mechanism of H+ secretion by ionocytes is revealed, and the understanding of the well-established mechanism of Cl− secretion by Ionocytes of SW fish is refines.

Expression of Key Ion Transporters in the Gill and Esophageal-Gastrointestinal Tract of Euryhaline Mozambique Tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus Acclimated to Fresh Water, Seawater and Hypersaline Water

Key ion transporters for Na+ and Cl− in the gill and esophageal-gastrointestinal tract of Mozambique tilapia acclimated to freshwater, seawater- and hypersaline-acclimated fish were studied to provide new insights into the responsiveness of these genes and tissues under hypersalinity challenge.

Yolk-sac pavement cells labeled with the membrane marker FM1-43 (fluorescent lipophilic tracer) were shown to cover active MRCs in larvae transferred from normal to high ambient Cl– levels, thereby inactivating theMRCs.

Western blot results showed that protein levels of gill Na+,K+‐ATPase, V‐type H+‐ ATMase, and carbonic anhydrase in tilapia acclimated in low‐Cl− freshwater were significantly higher than those acclimating to high‐Cl‐ freshwater.

In pufferfish gills CAII was not only expressed in the cytosol to produce the substrate for AE1 transport during Cl(-) influx but also associated with the plasma membrane via AE1, the first study to demonstrate the interaction of branchial CAII and AE1 in fish.

It is deduced that NKCC1a is the seawater-type cotransporter involved in ion secretion by type-IV MRCs and that NCC is the freshwater-typecotransporter involved in ions absorption by types-II and type-II M RCs.
