Lin CC, Lin LY, Hsu HH, Thermes V, Prunet P, Horng JL, Hwang PP. Acid secretion by mitochondrion-rich cells of medaka (Oryzias latipes) acclimated to acidic freshwater. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 302: R283-R291, 2012. First published November 2, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00483.2011.-In the present study, medaka embryos were exposed to acidified freshwater (pH 5) to investigate the mechanism of acid secretion by mitochondrion-rich (MR) cells in embryonic skin. With double or triple in situ hybridization/immunocytochemistry, the Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) and H+-ATPase were localized in two distinct subtypes of MR cells. NHE3 was expressed in apical membranes of a major proportion of MR cells, whereas H+-ATPase was expressed in basolateral membranes of a much smaller proportion of MR cells. Gill mRNA levels of NHE3 and H+-ATPase and the two subtypes of MR cells in yolk sac skin were increased by acid acclimation; however, the mRNA level of NHE3 was remarkably higher than that of H+-ATPase. A scanning ion-selective electrode technique was used to measure H+, Na+, and NH4+ transport by individual MR cells in larval skin. Results showed that Na+ uptake and NH4+ excretion by MR cells increased after acid acclimation. These findings suggested that the NHE3/Rh glycoprotein-mediated Na+ uptake/NH4+ excretion mechanism plays a critical role in acidic equivalent (H+/NH4+) excretion by MR cells of the freshwater medaka.
