Abstract

Regulation of cell volume is an essential function of most mammalian cells. In the cells of the central nervous system, maintenance of cell osmolarity and, hence, volume, is particularly crucial because of the restrictive nature of the skull. Cell volume regulation involves a variety of pathways, with considerable differences between cell types. One common pathway activated during hypo-osmotic stress involves chloride (Cl−) channels. However, hypo-osmotically stimulated anion permeability can be regulated by a diverse array of second messengers. Although neuronal swelling can occur in a number of pathological and nonpathological conditions, our understanding of neuronal volume regulation is limited. This article summarizes our current understanding of the role of anion channels during neuronal volume regulation.
