Suspensions of OK cells (a continuous epithelioid cell line from opossum kidney) are examined by electronic cell sizing, measurements of intracellular pH, and measurements of cellular Na+ and K+. The response of the cells to hypertonic solutions is evaluated in most detail. When shrunken by exposure to hyperosmotic medium (430 mosmol/kg), the cells do not demonstrate a regulatory volume increase (RVI) independent of the solute that is used to increase osmolality [NaCl, N-methyl-D-glucamine-HCl (NMGCl), or sucrose]. In contrast, when cells are preexposed to 190 mosmol/kg medium and then shrunken by exposure to 310 mosmol/kg medium, a volume increase is observed after the addition of 120 mosmol/kg NaCl or NMGCl, but not sucrose. This RVI is sensitive to 1 mM furosemide and removal of Na+ or K+ from the medium, but it is not inhibited by 1 mM amiloride. In the presence of a propionate-induced cellular acidification, a Na+-H+ exchanger in the cells is shown to have a large capacity for net solute uptake and to be inhibited by 1 mM amiloride. Net solute uptake by the Na+-H+ exchanger is sensitive to addition of parathyroid hormone or 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate but is not stimulated in response to cell shrinkage.
