Amiloride-sensitive sodium channels
in the lung play an important role in lung fluid balance. Particularly
in the alveoli, sodium transport is closely regulated to maintain an
appropriate fluid layer on the surface of the alveoli. Alveolar type II
cells appear to play an important role in this sodium transport, with the role of alveolar type I cells being less clear. In alveolar type II
cells, there are a variety of different amiloride-sensitive, sodium-permeable channels. This significant diversity appears to play a
role in both normal lung physiology and in pathological states. In many
epithelial tissues, amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channels
(ENaC) are formed from three subunit proteins, designated
-,
-,
and
-ENaC. At least part of the diversity of sodium-permeable
channels in lung arises from the assembling of different combinations
of these subunits to form channels with different biophysical
properties and different mechanisms for regulation. This leads to
epithelial tissue in the lung, which has enormous flexibility to alter
the magnitude and regulation of salt and water transport. In this
review, we discuss the biophysical properties and occurrence of these
various channels and some of the mechanisms for their regulation.
