The purpose of this study was to examine the potential modulatory effects of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) on prostaglandin (PG) E2-stimulated electrolyte transport across the distal colon epithelium. In an earlier study, PGE2 was shown to reduce net Cl absorption without altering the serosal-to-mucosal unidirectional Cl flux in porcine distal colon (19). In the present study, tissues were pretreated with serosal or mucosal GRP and subsequently stimulated with PGE2. The resulting increase in short-circuit current (ISC) was 152% (serosal GRP) and 49% (mucosal GRP) greater than control PGE2 responses alone. Serosal, but not mucosal, GRP also enhanced the ISC response to vasoactive intestinal peptide. On the basis of flux measurements, the combined effects of serosal GRP and PGE2 resulted in the activation of a transcellular pathway for Cl secretion, which was not activated by either mediator alone. The time course of the PGE2 response was also affected by GRP. Serosal GRP shortened the time to maximum ISC by 35%, whereas mucosal peptide lengthened the time to maximum ISC by 68% These results suggest that GRP acts as a modulator of PG action on electrolyte transport in the distal colon.

Effects of Ca2+ on adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated Cl- secretion were investigated in intact mucosa and isolated crypt cells of rabbit descending colon. Addition of 10 microM prostaglandin (PG)E2 or forskolin to tissues incubated in Ca(2+)-free medium increased the size of short-circuit current (Isc) and Cl- secretion as estimated by unidirectional 36Cl flux measurements (net flux = -2.31 +/- 0.24 vs. -1.22 +/- 0.10 mueq.h-1.cm-2, n = 4, P < 0.001). Addition of 10 microM PGE2 to tissues incubated in 1.2 mM Ca2+ Ringer induced a 7-fold increase in mean cAMP level, whereas it produced an 11-fold increase in tissues exposed to Ca(2+)-free medium. Membrane preparations from whole mucosa incubated in Ca(2+)-free medium displayed a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity significantly lower than controls (18.76 +/- 0.54 vs. 31.20 +/- 0.39 pmol cAMP. mg protein-1.min-1, means +/- SE, n = 4, P < 0.001). Ca2+ removal also affected adenylate cyclase (AC) responsiveness to agonists; AC activity increased in controls by 54 and 226% after stimulation with 10 microM PGE2 and forskolin, respectively, but it increased more (77 and 325%, respectively) after incubation in Ca(2+)-free solutions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Distal Colon Epithelium

Intact epithelium from the porcine distal colon was stripped of serosal muscle and mounted in Ussing chambers to investigate the regulation of Na, Cl, and K transport by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and elevations in intracellular [Ca2+]. Under voltage-clamped conditions cGMP (250 microM) produced an increase in tissue short-circuit current (Isc) that reached a maximal value within 10-20 min and remained elevated > 40 min. This response was associated with an inhibition of NaCl absorption and stimulation of Cl and K secretion. In the absence of Cl the Isc also slowly increased but returned to baseline values within 20 min. Bicarbonate removal from both serosal and mucosal solutions or serosal bumetanide (20 microM) reduced the effect of cGMP on Isc by approximately 40%. When performed simultaneously, these conditions reduced the cGMP response by approximately 60%. Transepithelial Na and Cl flux measurements indicated that serosal bumetanide blocked increased Cl secretion without effecting changes in NaCl absorption. In contrast, mucosal amiloride blocked the effects of cGMP on NaCl absorption but not Cl secretion. The cGMP Isc response was potentiated in the presence of 1 mM, but not 10 microM, amiloride. Moreover, 1 mM amiloride inhibited Isc under control conditions but was ineffective in the presence of cGMP. The Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (3 microM) produced a transient increase in the Isc that was also associated with a decrease in transepithelial NaCl absorption and an increase in Cl and K secretion. In contrast to cGMP, the ionomycin Isc response was eliminated after Cl removal from the bath.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To determine the effect of corticosteroids on active transport processes, unidirectional fluxes of 22Na, 36Cl, and 42K were measured under short-circuit conditions across isolated stripped distal colonic mucosa of the rat in control, secondary hyperaldosterone, and dexamethasone-treated animals. In controls net sodium and chloride fluxes (JNanet and JClnet) and short-circuit current (Isc) were 6.6 +/- 2.2, 7.6 +/- 1.6, and 1.3 +/- 0.2 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2, respectively. Although aldosterone increased Isc to 7.3 +/- 0.5 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2, JNanet (6.9 +/- 0.7 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2) was not altered and JClnet was reduced to 0 compared with controls. Dexamethasone also stimulated Isc but did not inhibit JClnet. In Cl-free Ringer both aldosterone and dexamethasone produced significant and equal increases in JNanet and Isc. Theophylline abolished JNanet in control animals but not in the aldosterone group. Aldosterone reversed net potassium absorption (0.58 +/- 0.11 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2) to net potassium secretion (-0.94 +/- 0.08 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2). Dexamethasone reduced net potassium movement to 0 (-0.04 +/- 0.12 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2). These studies demonstrate that 1) corticosteroids stimulate electrogenic sodium absorption and 2) aldosterone, but not dexamethasone, inhibits neutral NaCl absorption and stimulates active potassium secretion. The effects of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids on electrolyte transport are not identical and may be mediated by separate and distinct mechanisms.

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.

Porcine distal colon epithelium was mounted in Ussing chambers and bathed with porcine Ringer solution. The serosal addition of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP; 50 nM) or atriopeptin III (AP-III; 500 nM) produced significant increases (50-75 microA/cm2) in short-circuit current (Isc). These increases in Isc were not inhibited by pretreatment with tetrodotoxin (TTX) or 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA). Analysis of concentration-response relationships revealed that BNP was 5.8-fold more potent than AP-III in stimulating the Isc. BNP and AP-III significantly increased the serosal-to-mucosal (S----M) Cl flux and reduced net Cl absorption by 38 and 41%, respectively. The BNP-stimulated S----M Cl flux was abolished when HCO3 was removed. In contrast, the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-stimulated S----M Cl flux was not affected by HCO3 replacement. In addition to their effects on Cl transport, BNP and AP-III increased net Rb secretion by 79 and 58%, respectively. BNP-stimulated Rb secretion was reduced by 76% after HCO3 replacement. These results indicate that natriuretic peptides stimulate K- and HCO3-dependent Cl secretion which is not present under basal conditions or after VIP stimulation. The difference in potency between BNP and AP-III suggests that ANP-B receptors may mediate their effects on ion transport in the porcine colon.

Inflammatory Bowel

Interletrkin-1β levels are elevated in inflammatory bowel disease. In this study the mechanism by which interleukin-1β affects electrolyte transport in the rabbit distal colon, was investigated. Interleukin-1β caused a delayed increase in short-circuit current (Isc) which was attributed to protein synthesis since the effect was inhibited by cycloheximide. The interleukin-1β induced increase in Iscwas not affected by amiloride treatment but was completely inhibited by bumetanide or in chloride-free buffer and by indomethacin. Prostaglandin E2levels increased in tissue treated with interleukin-1β, but this increase was reversed by cycloheximide. These data suggest that interleukin-1β causes its effect via a yet to be identified second messenger, by increasing chloride secretion through a prostaglandin E2mediated mechanism.

The time course of disturbances of distal colonic electrolyte transport during experimental colitis in rats was compared with changes in the severity of inflammation and epithelial disruption. Colitis was induced by intracolonic administration of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS). At time points from 1 day to 8 wk thereafter, Na+ and Cl- transport was studied under short-circuited conditions in Ussing chambers, three indexes of tissue inflammation were measured, and histology was performed. Net absorption of Na+ and Cl- was abolished at 1 and 4 days after induction of colitis, but recovered to control levels by 1 wk. All unidirectional electrolyte fluxes were elevated at 1 day and fell significantly, generally to control levels, by 4 days. The indexes of inflammation, tissue myeloperoxidase, and synthetic capacities for prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4 were all significantly elevated from 1 day to 2 wk post-TNBS. At 1 and 4 days, there was widespread epithelial necrosis, and reepithelialization was consistently seen by 2 wk. In additional studies, 2 wk post-TNBS, the short-circuit current response to 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine was reduced compared with controls. These data suggest that abolition of electrolyte absorption early in this experimental colitis was largely attributable to epithelial damage. Despite demonstrable tissue inflammation 2 wk post-TNBS, basal electrolyte transport was not impaired, while the colitic epithelium was hyporesponsive to a Cl- secretagogue. The data also suggest that gross barrier function was restored prior to reepithelialization.

Regulation of electrolyte transport across porcine distal colon epithelium by gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) was examined using mucosal sheets mounted in Ussing chambers. Serosal GRP produced a biphasic response consisting of a transient increase in short-circuit current (ISC) followed by a long-lasting decrease. Indomethacin and tetrodotoxin inhibited the ISC increase without affecting the secondary decrease. Addition of GRP to the mucosal solution produced a decrease in ISC similar to that observed with serosal treatment, but no transient increase in ISC was observed. GRP and bombesin (50% effective concentrations of 26 and 30 nM, respectively) were more effective than neuromedin B in decreasing the ISC, and the GRP receptor antagonist [D-Phe(6)]bombesin(6-13)-O-methyl produced a sixfold dextral shift in the GRP concentration-response relationship. The GRP-stimulated decrease was reduced in the absence of Cl and by serosal bumetanide. Flux measurements showed that GRP increased Rb and Na secretion while having no effect on transepithelial Cl transport. Phosphoinositide turnover was increased by GRP, suggesting that the ion transport changes may be mediated by intracellular Ca concentration. The results of this study demonstrate that GRP stimulates K and Na secretion across the porcine distal colon epithelium and that these processes are dependent, in part, on a bumetanide-sensitive transport pathway located in the basolateral membrane.

The function of intestinal keratins is unknown, although keratin 8 (K8)–null mice develop colitis, hyperplasia, diarrhea, and mistarget jejunal apical markers. We quantified the diarrhea in K8-null stool and examined its physiologic basis. Isolated crypt-units from K8-null and wild-type mice have similar viability. K8-null distal colon has normal tight junction permeability and paracellular transport but shows decreased short circuit current and net Na absorption associated with net Cl secretion, blunted intracellular Cl/HCO3-dependent pH regulation, hyperproliferation and enlarged goblet cells, partial loss of the membrane-proximal markers H,K-ATPase-β and F-actin, increased and redistributed basolateral anion exchanger AE1/2 protein, and redistributed Na-transporter ENaC-γ. Diarrhea and protein mistargeting are observed 1–2 d after birth while hyperproliferation/inflammation occurs later. The AE1/2 changes and altered intracellular pH regulation likely account, at least in part, for the ion transport defects and hyperproliferation. Therefore, colonic keratins have a novel function in regulating electrolyte transport, likely by targeting ion transporters to their cellular compartments.

Net Fluxes

The transmural electrical potential difference (PD) was measured in vivo across the buccal mucosa of humans and experimental animals. Mean PD was -31 +/- 2 mV in humans, -34 +/- 2 mV in dogs, -39 +/- 2 mV in rabbits, and -18 +/- 1 mV in hamsters. The mechanisms responsible for this PD were explored in Ussing chambers using dog buccal mucosa. After equilibration, mean PD was -16 +/- 2 mV, short-circuit current (Isc) was 15 +/- 1 microA/cm2, and resistance was 1,090 +/- 100 omega.cm2, the latter indicating an electrically "tight" tissue. Fluxes of [14C]mannitol, a marker of paracellular permeability, varied directly with tissue conductance. The net fluxes of 22Na and 36Cl were +0.21 +/- 0.05 and -0.04 +/- 0.02 mueq/h.cm2, respectively, but only the Na+ flux differed significantly from zero. Isc was reduced by luminal amiloride, serosal ouabain, or by reducing luminal Na+ below 20 mM. This indicated that the Isc was determined primarily by active Na+ absorption and that Na+ traverses the apical membrane at least partly through amiloride-sensitive channels and exits across the basolateral membrane through Na+-K+-ATPase activity. We conclude that buccal mucosa is capable of active electrolyte transport and that this capacity contributes to generation of the buccal PD in vivo.
