title: Volume-regulated chloride conductance in the LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line.
abstract: Patch-clamp recordings were used to study ion currents induced by cell swelling caused by hypotonicity in human prostate cancer epithelial cells, LNCaP. The reversal potential of the swelling-evoked current suggested that Cl(-) was the primary charge carrier (termed I(Cl,swell)). The selectivity sequence of the underlying volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) for different anions was Br(-) approximately I(-) > Cl(-) > F(-) > methanesulfonate >> glutamate, with relative permeability numbers of 1.26, 1.20, 1.0, 0.77, 0.49, and 0.036, respectively. The current-voltage patterns of the whole cell currents as well as single-channel currents showed moderate outward rectification. Unitary VRAC conductance was determined at 9.6 +/- 1.8 pS. Conventional Cl(-) channel blockers 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (100 microM) and DIDS (100 microM) inhibited whole cell I(Cl,swell) in a voltage-dependent manner, with the block decreasing from 39.6 +/- 9.7% and 71.0 +/- 11. 0% at +50 mV to 26.2 +/- 7.2% and 14.5 +/- 6.6% at -100 mV, respectively. Verapamil (50 microM), a standard Ca(2+) antagonist and P-glycoprotein function inhibitor, depressed the current by a maximum of 15%. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors downregulated I(Cl,swell) (genistein with an IC(50) of 2.6 microM and lavendustin A by 60 +/- 14% at 1 microM). The protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate (500 microM) stimulated I(Cl,swell) by 54 +/- 11%. We conclude that VRACs in human prostate cancer epithelial cells are modulated via protein tyrosine phosphorylation.
