Monolayers of the human colonic epithelial cell line T84 exhibit electrogenic Cl− secretion in response to the Ca2+ agonist thapsigargin and to the cAMP agonist forskolin. To evaluate directly the regulation of apical Cl−conductance by these two agonists, we have utilized amphotericin B to permeabilize selectively the basolateral membranes of T84 cell monolayers. We find that apical anion conductance is stimulated by both forskolin and thapsigargin but that these conductances are differentially sensitive to the anion channel blocker DIDS. DIDS inhibits thapsigargin-stimulated responses completely but forskolin responses only partially. Furthermore, the apical membrane anion conductances elicited by these two agonists differ in anion selectivity (for thapsigargin, I− > Cl−; for forskolin, Cl− > I−). However, the DIDS-sensitive component of the forskolin-induced conductance response exhibits anion selectivity similar to that induced by thapsigargin (I− > Cl−). Thus forskolin-induced apical anion conductance comprises at least two components, one of which has features in common with that elicited by thapsigargin.

Secretion of HCO[Formula: see text] by airway submucosal glands is essential for normal liquid and mucus secretion. Because the liquid bathing the airway surface (ASL) is acidic, it has been proposed that the surface epithelium may acidify HCO[Formula: see text]-rich glandular fluid. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which intact distal bronchi, which contain both surface and glandular epithelium, modify pH of luminal fluid. Distal bronchi were isolated from pig lungs, cannulated in a bath containing HCO[Formula: see text]-buffered solution, and perfused continually with an aliquot of similar, lightly buffered solution (LBS) in which NaCl replaced NaHCO[Formula: see text] (pH 7 with NaOH). The pH of this circulating LBS initially acidified (by 0.053 ± 0.0053 pH units) and transepithelial potential difference (PD) depolarized. The magnitude of acidification was increased when pHLBS was higher. This acidification was unaffected by luminal dimethylamiloride (DMA, 100 μM) but was inhibited by 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (by 76 ± 13%), suggesting involvement of vacuolar-H+ ATPase. Addition of ACh (10 μM) evoked alkalinization of luminal LBS and hyperpolarization of transepithelial PD. The alkalinization was inhibited in HCO[Formula: see text]-free solutions containing acetazolamide (1 mM) and by DMA and was enhanced by bumetanide (100 μM), an inhibitor of Cl− secretion. The hyperpolarization was unaffected by these maneuvers. The anion channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate (300 μM) and combined treatment with DMA and bumetanide blocked both the alkalinization and hyperpolarization responses to ACh. These results are consistent with earlier studies showing that ACh evokes glandular secretion of HCO[Formula: see text] and Cl−. Isolated distal airways thus secrete both acid and base equivalents.
