Pretreating confluent T84 cells with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibits adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)- and carbachol-induced Cl secretion. Both a sustained short-circuit current (Isc), seen after the addition of 50 microM 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP) and 100 microM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), and a transient current, seen after the subsequent addition of 100 microM carbachol, are inhibited by 80% following pretreatment with 100 nM PMA for 2 h. Pretreatment with PMA has no effect on the level of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein or apical cAMP-dependent Cl conductance. Carbachol does not induce an increase in apical Cl conductance. Basolateral K conductance was measured in monolayers treated with apical nystatin and exposed to a K gradient. Agonist-independent K conductance is 10-fold greater in Cl media than in gluconate media. Pretreatment with PMA inhibits agonist-independent K conductance by 57% in Cl media but stimulates K conductance by 1.9-fold in gluconate media. The addition of carbachol induces a transient increase in basolateral K conductance, and pretreatment with PMA inhibits the agonist-dependent K conductance by 66% in Cl media and by 92% in gluconate media. In Cl media, serosal barium, at 3 mM, inhibits agonist-independent K conductance but has no significant effect on the carbachol-induced conductance. In nonpermeabilized monolayers, serosal barium inhibits the cAMP-dependent Isc by 56% but has no effect on the carbachol-induced Isc. These results demonstrate that the primary effect of PMA on Cl secretion is not inhibition of apical Cl channels but inhibition of basolateral K channels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Basolateral but not apical application of 10-200 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) or 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) to T84 monolayers produced a transient increase in short-circuit current (Isc), followed by a sustained inhibition. 4,4'-Dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DNDS) had no effect. The increase in Isc produced by DIDS represents Cl- secretion and appears to result from Ca2+ elevation, because in all respects except time course the response to DIDS mimicked the response to the Ca(2+)-elevating agent thapsigargin. Fura-2 measurements established that thapsigargin elevates Ca2+ in T84 cells, but Ca2+ responses to DIDS could not be established directly because DIDS absorbs strongly at the critical wavelengths. Responses to DIDS and thapsigargin were 1) blocked by bumetanide; 2) not blocked by basolateral Ba2+; 3) completely nonadditive; 4) strongly synergistic with basal levels of Isc or with Isc increases produced by elevating adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP; with forskolin) or guanosine 3',5'-cycxlic monophosphate (with heat-stable enterotoxin); and 5) reversibly abolished by removal of basolateral Ca2+. Interactions between Ca2+ and cAMP-elevating agents strongly support a model of Cl- secretion in which apical Cl- conductance is activated by cyclic nucleotides but not by Ca2+ while basolateral K+ channels are activated by Ca2+. In contrast with this mechanism, whole cell patch-clamp recordings of nonconfluent T84 cells indicated that DIDS and other Ca(2+)-elevating agents stimulated an increase in Cl- conductance. Thus increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ in nonconfluent T84 cells activate conductances that differ from those in confluent monolayers.

Direct Activation

We evaluated the effects of the novel benzimidazolone, 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone (1-EBIO), on Cl- secretion across T84 monolayers. 1-EBIO stimulated a sustained Cl- secretory response at a half-maximal effective concentration of 490 microM. Charybdotoxin (CTX) inhibited the 1-EBIO-induced short-circuit current (Isc) with an inhibitory constant (Ki) of 3.6 nM, whereas 293B, an inhibitor of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-activated K+ channels, had no effect on the current induced by 1-EBIO. In contrast, CTX failed to inhibit the 293B-sensitive forskolin-induced Isc. The above results suggested that 1-EBIO may be activating the basolateral membrane Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channel (KCa) in these cells. This was further confirmed using nystatin to permeabilize the apical membrane in the presence of a mucosa-to-serosa K+ gradient and determining the effects of 1-EBIO on the basolateral K+ current (IK). Under these conditions, 1-EBIO induced a large increase in IK that was blocked by CTX. In membrane vesicles prepared from T84 cells, 1-EBIO stimulated 86Rb+ uptake in a CTX-sensitive manner; the Ki for inhibition by CTX was 3.5 nM. Similar to our intact monolayer studies, this 86Rb+ uptake was not blocked by 293B. The effects of 1-EBIO on the KCa in T84 cells was determined in excised inside-out patches. 1-EBIO (100 microM) increased the product of the number of channels and the open channel probability from 0.09 +/- 0.03 to 1.17 +/- 0.27 (n = 8); this effect on KCa activity required a minimal level of free Ca2+. Similar to its effect on T84 cells, 1-EBIO stimulated a sustained Cl- secretory current in rat colonic epithelium, which was partially blocked by CTX. Finally, 1-EBIO stimulated a sustained Cl- secretory response in primary cultures of murine tracheal epithelium. We conclude that the benzimidazolone, 1-EBIO, stimulates Cl- secretion in secretory epithelia via the direct activation of a Kca. 1-EBIO is the first pharmacological opener of this important class of epithelial K+ channels to be identified.

Barrier Effects

T84 monolayers were studied to determine the effect of AlF4, an activator of heterotrimeric G proteins, on Cl-secretion and intestinal barrier function. Basolateral (but not apical) addition of AlF4- increased short-circuit current (I(sc)) and decreased transepithelial resistance. Preincubation with the heavy metal chelator deferoxamine showed that both effects were dependent on Al3+. The effect on I(sc) was abolished by the intracellular Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid or in Cl(-)-free solutions, whereas the decrease in resistance was unaffected. AlF4- also increased intracellular Ca2+, as assessed via fura 2 fluorometry. AlF4- had no effect on adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) or guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels in T84 cells. The effect of AlF4- on transepithelial resistance was accompanied by a decrease in cellular F-actin as well as increased transepithelial fluxes of the paracellular markers mannitol and inulin. The results indicate that AlF4(-)-sensitive G proteins regulate both epithelial secretory and barrier functions, but via different pathways. AlF4- increases Cl- secretion via a Ca2+-dependent and cAMP- and cGMP-independent mechanism in T84 cells, whereas the decrease in resistance is independent of Ca2+.

Isoprenylated proteins function in the processes of signal transduction and membrane vesicle trafficking. To investigate the role of isoprenylated proteins in secretagogue-stimulated epithelial ion transport, we studied the effects of lovastatin, an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, on adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)- and Ca(2+)-stimulated Cl- secretion by monolayers of T84 colonic epithelial cells. Lovastatin reduces protein isoprenylation in many cell types. In T84 cells, lovastatin reversibly inhibits forskolin-stimulated equivalent short-circuit current (I(sc)eq) by 50% after 2 days of treatment. The concentration of lovastatin resulting in half-maximal effects on forskolin-stimulated I(sc)eq is consistent with inhibition of protein isoprenylation, and lovastatin effects on forskolin-stimulated I(sc)eq are not associated with inhibition of cholesterol or glycoprotein biosynthesis. Lovastatin blocks N6,2'-O-dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate- and ionomycin-stimulated Isc, suggesting that it inhibits a process beyond the stimulation of cAMP and Ca2+ second-messenger systems. In monolayers in which the basolateral membrane has been permeabilized with nystatin, lovastatin inhibits cAMP activation of a diphenylamine-2-carboxylate-sensitive, apical membrane Cl- conductance. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that an isoprenylated protein is involved in the regulation of a secretagogue-activated apical membrane Cl- conductance in T84 cells.

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.

We evaluated effects of psoralens on Cl- secretion (short-circuit current, I(sc)) across T84 monolayers. Methoxsalen failed to increase I(sc). Several observations suggest that psoralens open cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl- channels. 1) After activation of the Ca2+-dependent basolateral membrane K+ channel (K(Ca)) by 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone or thapsigargin, methoxsalen (10 microM) further increased I(sc). 2) When added before carbachol (CCh), methoxsalen potentiated the I(sc) response to CCh, as predicted, if it increased apical Cl- conductance. 3) After establishment of a mucosal-to-serosal Cl- gradient and permeabilization of basolateral membrane with nystatin, psoralens increased Cl- current, which was inhibited by glibenclamide. In contrast, neither TS-TM calix[4]arene nor Cd2+, inhibitors of outwardly rectifying Cl- channels and the ClC-2 Cl-channel, respectively, inhibited psoralen-induced Cl- current. In contrast to their effects on Cl- conductance, psoralens failed to significantly affect basolateral membrane K+ conductance; subsequent addition of 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone induced a large increase in K+ conductance. Also, in excised patches, methoxsalen failed to activate K(Ca). In addition to potentiating the peak response to CCh, psoralens induced a secondary, sustained response. Indeed, when added up to 60 min after return of CCh-induced I(sc) to baseline, psoralens induced a sustained I(sc). This sustained response was inhibited by atropine, demonstrating the requirement for continuous muscarinic receptor activation by CCh. This sustained response was inhibited also by verapamil, removal of bath Ca2+, and charybdotoxin. These results suggest that return of I(sc) to baseline after CCh stimulation is not due to downregulation of Ca2+ influx or K(Ca). Finally, we obtained similar results with psoralens in rat colon and primary cultures of murine tracheal epithelium. On the basis of these observations, we conclude that psoralens represent a novel class of Cl- channel openers that can be used to probe mechanisms underlying Ca2+-mediated Cl- secretion.

Flux Measurements

The ability of a Cl-secreting epithelium to support net secretion of an anion other than a halide was investigated with 35SO4 flux measurements across the isolated, short-circuited rabbit distal colon. In most experiments, 36Cl fluxes were simultaneously measured to validate the secretory capacity of the tissues. Serosal addition of dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP, 0.5 mM) stimulated a sustained net secretion of SO4 (about -3.0 nmol.cm-2.h-1 from a 0.20 mM solution) via an increase in the serosal-to-mucosal unidirectional flux, whereas Ca ionophore A-23187 (1 microM, serosal) produced a more transient stimulation of SO4 and Cl secretion. Net adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent SO4 and Cl secretion were strongly voltage sensitive, principally through the potential dependence of the serosal-to-mucosal fluxes, indicating an electrogenic transport process. Symmetrical replacement of either Na, K, or Cl inhibited cAMP-dependent SO4 secretion, whereas HCO3-free buffers had no effect on SO4 secretion. Serosal bumetanide (50 microM) or furosemide (100 microM) reduced DBcAMP-stimulated SO4 and Cl secretion, whereas serosal 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid or 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (50 microM) blocked DBcAMP-induced SO4 secretion while enhancing net Cl secretion and short-circuit current. Mucosal 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid partially inhibited SO4 secretion and completely inhibited Cl secretion. It is concluded that secretagogue-stimulated SO4 secretion, like Cl secretion, may be an electrogenic process mediated by diffusive efflux through an apical anion conductance. Cellular accumulation of SO4 across the basolateral membrane appears to be achieved by a mechanism that is distinct from that employed by Cl.

Stimulation Of

Basal and aldosterone-stimulated short-circuit current (Isc) of A6 epithelia are known to be equivalent to net apical to basal Na flux and are completely inhibited by 0.05 mM amiloride added to the solution bathing the apical surface of the epithelium. In the absence of amiloride, the Isc stimulated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is also equivalent to net apical to basal Na flux. However, amiloride does not completely inhibit the cAMP-stimulated Isc. In this study, the cAMP-stimulated, amiloride-insensitive Isc was characterized, using vasopressin or forskolin to raise cell cAMP. After basal Isc is inhibited by amiloride, forskolin stimulates Isc, conductance, and bidirectional 36Cl flux. Stimulation of Isc depends on the presence of both Na and Cl; stimulation of conductance depends on the presence of Cl. 36Cl flux studies showed that the cAMP-stimulated, amiloride-insensitive Isc is equivalent to net Cl flux. It is inhibited by ouabain and by furosemide or bumetanide added to the solution bathing the basal surface of the epithelium. In view of the effect of cAMP in some other epithelia, we suggest that cAMP activates apical membrane Cl channels that are in series with a Na-K-Cl cotransporter in the basolateral plasma membrane.

The T84 cell line possesses an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-activated Cl- conductance and expresses high levels of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene product, implicating it as a good model for CF research. To evaluate whether T84 Cl- conductance properties are consistent with those described in CF target epithelial, we used transepithelial measurements (verified by selective permeabilization of the basal membrane) to determine the apparent anion selectivity properties of the apical and basolateral membranes of stimulated and unstimulated T84 cells. Unstimulated epithelial cells were almost electrically inert, having a low transepithelial voltage (Vt; -6 mV, apical surface negative), a small equivalent short-circuit current (Isc,(eq.) 2.2 microA/cm2), a very high transepithelial resistance (Rt; 2,500 omega.cm2), and poor anion permselectivity properties at both membrane surfaces (0.8 less than PX/PCl- less than 1.1), where X is NO3-, Br-, I-, or gluconate. When stimulated with forskolin (10(-6) M), Vt increased 8-fold, Isc(eq) increased 30-fold, Rt fell to one-third of unstimulated values, and the apical surface became highly anion selective, i.e., NO3- (1.4) greater than Br- (1.2) greater than Cl- (1.0) greater than I- (0.7) greater than gluconate (0.0), where numbers in parentheses are PX/PCl-. I- was less permeable than Cl- and probably directly inhibits the anion conductance, since Rt was substantially greater after I- substitution than after substitution with the impermeable anion gluconate. Bumetanide (10(-4) M) significantly attenuated the response of Vt to anion substitutions at the basal membrane surface, indicating that the effects of substitution were predominantly on the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransporter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Dependent Mechanism

Cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelia express a defect in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent regulation of apical membrane Cl- channels. Recent patch-clamp studies have raised the possibility that Ca2+ -dependent mechanisms for the activation of Cl- secretion may be preserved in CF airway epithelia. To determine 1) whether intact normal (N1) and CF airway epithelia exhibit a Ca2+ -dependent mechanism for activation of Cl- secretion and 2) whether Ca2+ -dependent mechanism for activation of Cl- secretion and 2) whether Ca2+ -dependent mechanisms initiate Cl- secretion via activation of an apical membrane Cl- conductance (GCl-), nasal epithelia from N1 and CF subjects were cultured on collagen membranes, and responses to isoproterenol or Ca2- ionophores [A23187 10(-6) M; ionomycin (10(-5)M)] were measured with transepithelial and intracellular techniques. Isoproterenol induced activation of an apical membrane GCl- in N1 cultures but was ineffective in CF. In contrast, in both N1 and CF amiloride-pretreated cultures, A23187 induced an increase in the equivalent short-circuit current that was associated with an activation of an apical membrane Gc1- and was bumetanide inhibitable. A23187 addition during superfusion of the lumen with a low Cl- (3 mM) solution reduced intracellular Cl- activity of CF cells. A Ca2+ ionophore of different selectivity properties, ionomycin, was also an effective Cl- secretagogue in both N1 and CF cultures. We conclude that 1) the A23187 induced Cl- secretion via activation of an apical GCl- in N1 human nasal epithelium, and 2) in contrast to an isoproterenol-dependent path, a Ca2+ -dependent path for GCl- activation is preserved in CF epithelia.
