The electrical properties of the apical membrane of isolated rabbit parietal cells were studied using the patch-clamp technique. The apical membrane of the parietal cells plated on Matrigel and maintained in culture conditions was identified by lectin-binding studies. Cell-attached and excised inside-out patches from 10(-4) M cimetidine-treated parietal cells infrequently contained Cl- channels (9% of the patches). A single class of voltage-dependent outwardly rectifying Cl- channels with 24 +/- 1-pS conductance was observed in 75% of the patches from cells stimulated (acid secreting) by 10(-4) M histamine. Other anions passed through these channels with a permeability sequence of I- (1.2) greater than Br- (1.1) greater than or equal to Cl- (1.0) greater than NO3- (0.7) greater than SO4(2-) (0.1), but there was a very low permeability for Na+ or K+ (PCl-/PNa+ or PCl-/PK+ greater than 5). In inside-out patch configurations the Cl- channel was insensitive to Ba2+ and stilbene derivatives but was inhibited by diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid in a manner characteristic of a reversible open-channel blocker. It is concluded that H2-receptor agonist stimulation of acid secretion by rabbit parietal cells activates Cl- channels in the apical cell membrane.

Small Conductance

Using the patch clamp technique on the apical membrane of primary cultures of rabbit distal bright convoluted tubule cells (DCTb), two types of Cl- channel were identified. A small channel of 9 pS was observed in 9% of the patches. Cells pretreated with 1 mM 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP) or 5 microM forskolin increased the expression of Cl- channels by 26 and 37%, respectively. In cell-attached and excised inside-out patches, the current-voltage (I-V) relationships of the 9-pS channel were linear. In only 1 out of 47 active patches was the small-conductance Cl- channel still active 1 h after membrane excision. The addition of 0.1 microM of the catalytic subunit protein kinase A with 2 mM ATP to the cytoplasmic side restored channel activity in 8 out of 15 excised membrane patches. In 5 out of 467 patches of stimulated or nonstimulated cells, a larger Cl- conductance of 30 pS was also recorded. In excised inside-out patches this channel outwardly rectified and was activated by strong depolarization. In cultured DCTb cells, the small-conductance, cAMP-activated Cl- channel shares many properties with the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Our results suggest that at least the small-conductance channel may participate in Cl- secretion across the apical membrane of DCTb in primary culture. This secretion may increase the rate of the apical Cl-/HCO3- exchange indirectly by enhancing the inwardly-directed Cl- gradient.

The isolated epithelium of toad skin was disintegrated into single cells by treatment with collagenase and trypsine. Chloride channels of cell-attached and excised inside-out apical membrane-patches of mitochondria-rich cells were studied by the patch-clamp technique. The major population of Cl- channels constituted small 7-pS linear channels in symmetrical solutions (125 mM Cl-). In cell-attached and inside-out patches the single channel i/V-relationship could be described by electrodiffusion of Cl- with a Goldmann-Hodgkin-Katz permeability of, PCl = 1.2 x 10(-14) - 2.6 x 10(-14) cm3. s-1. The channel exhibited voltage-independent activity and could be activated by cAMP. This channel is a likely candidate for mediating the well known cAMP-induced transepithelial Cl- conductance of the amphibian skin epithelium. Another population of Cl- channels exhibited large, highly variable conductances (upper limit conductances, 150-550 pS) and could be activated by membrane depolarization. A group of intermediate-sized Cl(-)-channels included: (a) channels (mean conductance, 30 pS) with linear or slightly outwardly rectifying i/V-relationships and activity occurring in distinct "bursts," (b) channels (conductance-range, 10-27 pS) with marked depolarization-induced activity, and (c) channels with unresolvable kinetics. The variance of current fluctuations of such "noisy" patches exhibited a minimum close to the equilibrium-potential for Cl-. With channels occurring in only 38% of sealed patches and an even lower frequency of voltage-activated channels, the chloride conductance of the apical membrane of mitochondria-rich cells did not match quantitatively that previously estimated from macroscopic Ussing-chamber experiments. From a qualitative point of view, however, we have succeeded in demonstrating the existence of Cl-channels in the apical membrane with features comparable to macroscopic predictions, i.e., activation of channel gating by cAMP and, in a few patches, also by membrane depolarization.

External Calcium

The distal-convoluted tubule (DCT) of the kidney absorbs NaCl mainly via an Na+-Cl− cotransporter located at the apical membrane, and Na+, K+ ATPase at the basolateral side. Cl− transport across the basolateral membrane is thought to be conductive, but the corresponding channels have not yet been characterized. In the present study, we investigated Cl− channels on microdissected mouse DCTs using the patch-clamp technique. A channel of ∼9 pS was found in 50% of cell-attached patches showing anionic selectivity. The NPo in cell-attached patches was not modified when tubules were preincubated in the presence of 10−5 M forskolin, but the channel was inhibited by phorbol ester (10−6 M). In addition, NPo was significantly elevated when the calcium in the pipette was increased from 0 to 5 mM (NPo increased threefold), or pH increased from 6.4 to 8.0 (NPo increased 15-fold). Selectivity experiments conducted on inside-out patches showed that the Na+ to Cl− relative permeability was 0.09, and the anion selectivity sequence Cl− ∼ I−> Br− ∼ NO3− > F−. Intracellular NPPB (10−4 M) and DPC (10−3 M) blocked the channel by 65% and 80%, respectively. The channel was inhibited at acid intracellular pH, but intracellular ATP and PKA had no effect. ClC-K Cl− channels are characterized by their sensitivity to the external calcium and to pH. Since immunohistochemical data indicates that ClC-K2, and perhaps ClC-K1, are present on the DCT basolateral membrane, we suggest that the channel detected in this study may belong to this subfamily of the ClC channel family.

Luminal extracellular ATP evoked a bumetanide-sensitive short-circuit current in cultured T84 cell epithelia (90.2 +/- 18.2 microA/cm2 at 100 microM ATP, apparent 50% effective concentration, 11.5 microM). ATP appeared to increase the Cl- conductance of the apical membrane but not the driving force for Cl- secretion determined by basolateral membrane K+ conductance. Specifically, the magnitude of Cl- secretion stimulated by ATP was independent of basal current, and forskolin pretreatment abolished subsequent stimulation of Cl- secretion by ATP. Whereas ATP stimulated modest production of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) by T84 cells, ATP caused smaller increases in intracellular Ca2+ and inositol phosphate activities than the Ca(2+)-signaling Cl- secretagogue carbachol. An inhibitor of 5'-nucleotidase, alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate, blocked most of the response to luminal ATP. The adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)theophylline blocked both the luminal ATP-dependent generation of cAMP and Cl- secretion when administered to the luminal but not submucosal bath. These results demonstrate that the Cl- secretion stimulated by luminal ATP is mediated by a A2-adenosine receptor located on the apical cell membrane. Thus metabolism of extracellular ATP to adenosine regulates the activity of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductor regulator (CFTR) in the apical membrane of polarized T84 cells.

The effects of mineralocorticoid (DOCA) treatment of rabbits on the Na+ and K+ transport properties of the cortical collecting duct apical cell membrane were assessed using microelectrode techniques. Applying standard cable techniques and equivalent circuit analysis to the isolated perfused tubule, the apical cell membrane K+ and Na+ currents and conductances could be estimated from the selective effects of the K+ channel blocker Ba2+ and the Na+ channel blocker amiloride on the apical membrane; amiloride treatment was observed also to decrease the tight junction conductance by an average of 10%. After 1 day of DOCA treatment, the Na+ conductance and current (Na+ influx) of the apical cell membrane doubled and remained elevated with prolonged treatment for up to 2 wk. The apical cell membrane K+ conductance was not influenced after 1 day, although the K+ current (K+ secretion) increased significantly due to an increased driving force for K+ exit. After 4 days or more of DOCA treatment the K+ conductance doubled, resulting in a further modest stimulation in K+ secretion. After 2 wk of DOCA treatment the tight junction conductance decreased by near 30%, resulting in an additional hyperpolarization of the transepithelial voltage, thereby favoring K+ secretion. It is concluded that the acute effect (within 1 day) of mineralocorticoids on Na+ and K+ transport is an increase in the apical membrane Na+ conductance followed by delayed chronic alterations in the apical membrane K+ conductance and tight junction conductance, thereby resulting in a sustained increased capacity of the tubule to reabsorb Na+ and secrete K+.

Secretion of salt and water by the epithelial cells that line pancreatic ducts depends on activation of apical membrane Cl- conductance. In the present study, we characterized two types of Cl- conductances present in the apical cell membrane of bovine pancreatic duct epithelial cells. Primary cultures of bovine main pancreatic duct epithelium and an immortalized cell line (BPD1) derived from primary cultures were used. Elevation of intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) or Ca2+ in intact monolayers of duct epithelium induced sustained anion secretion. Agonist-induced changes in plasma membrane Cl- permeability were accessed by 36 Cl- efflux, whole cell current recording, and measurements of transepithelial Cl- current across permeabilized epithelial monolayers. Elevation of intracellular cAMP elicited a sustained increase in Cl- permeability, whereas elevation of intracellular Ca2+ induced only a transient increase in Cl- permeability. Ca(2+)- but not cAMP-induced increases in Cl- permeability were abolished by preincubation of cells with the Ca2+ buffer 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, tetra(acetoxymethyl) ester (BAPTA-AM). N-phenylanthranilic acid (DPC; 1 mM) and glibenclamide (100 microM), but not 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS; 500 microM), inhibited the cAMP-induced increase in Cl- permeability. In contrast, DPC and DIDS, but not glibenclamide, inhibited the Ca(2+)-induced increase in Cl- permeability. We conclude from these experiments that bovine pancreatic duct epithelial cells express at least two types of Cl- channels, cAMP and Ca2+ activated, in the apical cell membrane. Because the Ca(2+)-activated increase in Cl- permeability is transient, the extent to which this pathway contributes to sustained anion secretion by the ductal epithelium remains to be determined.

We have used the patch-clamp technique to study the apical K+ channels in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of the rat kidney. Two types of K+ channels, a low-conductance and an intermediate-conductance K+ channel, were identified in both cell-attached and inside-out patches. We confirmed the previously reported intermediate-conductance K+ channel (72 pS), which is inhibited by millimolar cell ATP, acidic pH, Ba2+, and quinidine (4). We now report a second K+ channel in apical membrane of the TAL. The slope conductance of this low-conductance K+ channel is 30 pS, and its open probability is 0.80 in cell-attached patches. This channel is not voltage dependent, and application of 2 mM ATP in the bath inhibits channel activity in inside-out patches. In addition, 250 microM glyburide, an ATP-sensitive K+ channel inhibitor, blocks channel activity, whereas the same concentration of glyburide has no inhibitory effect on the 72-pS K+ channel. Channel activity of the 30-pS K+ channel decreases rapidly upon excision of patches (channel run down). Application of 0.1 mM ATP and the catalytic subunit of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) restores channel activity. Furthermore, addition of 0.1 mM 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP or 50-100 pM vasopressin in the cell-attached patches increases channel activity. In conclusion, two types of K+ channels are present in the apical membrane of TAL of rat kidney, and PKA plays an important role in modulation of the low-conductance K+ channel activity.

Leaky Epithelium

The Na- and Cl-absorbing goby posterior intestinal epithelium is composed predominantly of mitochondria-rich, tall columnar cells. Glass intracellular microelectrode recording technique was applied to absorptive cells of this relatively leaky epithelium to measure apical cell membrane potential difference (psi mc) and apical membrane fractional resistance. As determined by ion-substitution studies, absorptive cells are characterized by a large, Ba2+-inhibitable apical K conductance, which is a major factor determining psi mc and smaller Cl and Na conductances. Inhibition of the apical Na-Cl-coupled influx directly by furosemide or indirectly by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine produced hyperpolarization of psi mc, consistent with the greater apical membrane conductance to Cl than Na. The urophysial neurosecretory peptide urotensin II, which stimulates Na-Cl-coupled absorption, markedly depolarized psi mc in posterior intestinal tissues from 5% seawater-adapted gobies. This response is consistent with a stimulatory effect of urotensin II at the apical membrane carrier rather than at the basolateral Na-K-ATPase. Urotensin II is without effect on psi mc in tissues from seawater-adapted fish and somatostatin, a natural analogue of urotensin II, is without effect on tissues from fish adapted to either salinity. This specificity parallels that determined using radiotracer fluxes.

Phi Regulation

Colonocytes must regulate intracellular pH (pHi) while they transport H+ and HCO3-. To investigate the membrane transport processes involved in pHi regulation, colonocyte pHi was measured with 2,'7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) in intact segments of rat distal colon mounted on a holder that fits into a standard fluorometer cuvette and allows independent superfusion of mucosal and serosal surfaces. When NCECF-acetoxymethyl ester was in the mucosal solution only, BCECF loaded surface colonocytes with a high degree of selectivity. In HEPES-buffered solutions, basal pHi was 7.31 +/- 0.01 (n = 68), and pHi was dependent on extracellular Na+. Cells acidified in Na(+)-free solution, and pHi rapidly corrected when Na+ was returned. pHi recovered at 0.22 +/- 0.01 pH/min (n = 6) when Na+ was introduced into the mucosal solution and at 0.02 +/- 0.01 pH/min (n = 7) when Na+ was absent from the mucosal solution. The presence or absence of Na+ in the serosal solution did not affect pHi. This indicated that the Na(+)-dependent pHi recovery process is located in the apical cell membrane, but not in the basolateral membrane. Because amiloride (1 mM) inhibited Na(+)-dependent pHi recovery by 75%, Na+/H+ exchange appears to be present in the apical membrane. Because Na(+)-independent pHi recovery was not affected by K(+)-free media, 50 microM SCH-28080, 100 nM bafilomycin A1, or Cl(-)-free media, this transport mechanism does not involve a gastriclike H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, a vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, or a Cl-/base exchanger. In summary, pHi was selectively measured in surface colonocytes by this technique. In these cells, the Na+/H+ exchange activity involved in pHi regulation was detected in the apical membrane, but not in the basolateral membrane.
