Salt transport by the Necturus gallbladder epithelium is the result of the coupled entry of NaCl into the cells across the apical membrane and the active transport of Na out of the cells across the basolateral membrane. The NaCl entry step was studied by measuring the rate of cell volume increase accompanying ouabain inhibition of the Na--K-ATPase in the basolateral membrane. When bumetanide, a diuretic analog of furosemide, was added to the mucosal bathing solution it reversibly blocked the entry of NaCl into the cells and abolished fluid transport. A dose-response relationship showed half-maximal inhibition of NaCl entry at a bumetanide concentration of 10(-9) M; complete inhibition of coupled NaCl movement occurred with as little as 10(-7) M bumetanide. Partial substitution of Na or Cl in the mucosal solution failed to demonstrate competition between bumetanide and either of the ions. The drug was also effective in blocking NaCl entry in the absence of ouabain; addition of the diuretic to the mucosal bathing solution resulted in prompt cell shrinkage and a decrease in intracellular NaCl. Cell volume decrease followed bumetanide addition to the mucosal bath because NaCl entry was blocked but active Na transport continued for several minutes until the intracellular Na transport pool was depleted.
