Typically, migrating cells are polarized within the plane of movement with lamellipodium and cell body representing the front and rear of the cell, respectively. Here, we address the question of whether this polarization also extends to the distribution of ion transporters such as Na+\/H+ exchanger (NHE) and anion exchanger in the plasma membrane of migrating cells. Both transporters are required for locomotion of renal epithelial (Madin-Darby canine kidney, MDCK-F) cells and human melanoma cells since their blockade reduces the rate of migration in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of migration of MDCK-F cells by NHE blockers is accompanied by a decrease of pHi. However, when cells are acidified with weak organic acids, migration of MDCK-F cells is normal despite an even more pronounced decrease of pHi. Under these conditions, NHE activity is increased so that cells are swelling due to the accumulation of organic anions and Na+. When exclusively applied to the lamellipodium, blockers of NHE or anion exchange inhibit migration of MDCK-F cells as effectively as when applied to the entire cell surface. When they are directed to the cell body, migration is not affected. These data are confirmed immunocytochemically in that the anion exchanger AE2 is concentrated at the front of MDCK-F cells. Our findings show that NHE and anion exchanger are distributed in a polarized way in migrating cells. They are consistent with important contributions of both transporters to protrusion of the lamellipodium via solute uptake and consequent volume increase at the front of migrating cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1085\/jgp.115.5.599","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T16:50:20Z","timestamp":1027702220000},"page":"599-608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1085\/jgp.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":122,"title":["Polarization of Na+\/H+ and Cl\u2212\/Hco 3\u2212 Exchangers in Migrating Renal Epithelial Cells"],"prefix":"10.1085","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"Magnus","family":"Klein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aPhysiologisches Institut, D-97070 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ponke","family":"Seeger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPhysiologisches Institut, D-97070 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Schuricht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPhysiologisches Institut, D-97070 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seth L.","family":"Alper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"bDepartments of Medicine and Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School and Molecular Medicine and Renal Units, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02215"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albrecht","family":"Schwab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPhysiologisches Institut, D-97070 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072520252832100_Bereiter-HahnandVoth1988","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"528","DOI":"10.1002\/cm.970100409","article-title":"Ionic control of locomotion and shape of epithelial cellsII.
