PurposeWater homeostasis and transport play important roles in brain function (e.g., ion homeostasis, neuronal excitability, cell volume regulation, etc.). However, specific mechanisms of water transport across cell membranes in neuronal tissue have not been completely elaborated. MethodsThe kinetics of transcytolemmal water exchange were measured in neuronal tissue using simultaneous, real-time fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of perfused, active brain organotypic cortical cultures. Perfusion with a paramagnetic MRI contrast agent, gadoteridol, allows NMR determination of the unidirectional rate constant for steady-state cellular water efflux (k(io)), and the mole fraction of intracellular water ( pi), related to the average cell volume (V). Changes in intracellular calcium concentration [Cai2+] were used as a proxy for neuronal activity and were monitored by fluorescence imaging. ResultsThe k(io) value, averaged over all cultures (N=99) at baseline, was 2.02 (1.72) s(-1), indicating that on average, the equivalent of the entire intracellular water volume turns over twice each second. To probe possible molecular pathways, the specific Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) inhibitor, ouabain (1mM), was transiently introduced into the perfusate. This caused significant transient changes (N=8): [Cai2+] rose approximate to 250%, V rose approximate to 89%, and k(io) fell approximate to 45%, with a metabolically active k(io) contribution probably eliminated by ouabain saturation. ConclusionsThese results suggest that transcytolemmal water exchange in neuronal tissue involves mechanisms affected by NKA activity as well as passive pathways. The active pathway may account for half of the basal homeostatic water flux. Magn Reson Med 79:3207-3217, 2018. (c) 2017 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
