We report, for the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in A6 cells, the modulation by cell pH (pHc) of the transepithelial Na+ current (INa), the current through the individual Na+ channel (i), the open Na+ channel density (No), and the kinetic parameters of the relationship between INa and the apical Na+ concentration. The i and No were evaluated from the Lorentzian INa noise induced by the apical Na+ channel blocker 6-chloro-3,5-diaminopyrazine-2-carboxamide. pHc shifts were induced, under strict and volume-controlled experimental conditions, by apical/basolateral NH4Cl pulses or basolateral arrest of the Na+/H+ exchanger (Na+ removal; block by ethylisopropylamiloride) and were measured with the pH-sensitive probe 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. The changes in pHc were positively correlated to changes in INa and the apically dominated transepithelial conductance. The sole pHc-sensitive parameter underlying INa was No. Only the saturation value of the INa kinetics was subject to changes in pHc. pHc-dependent changes in No may be caused by influencing Po, the ENaC open probability, or/and the total channel number, NT = No/Po.
