Gastric mucosae from frogs and newborn pigs were used for in vitro investigation of the effects of Ba2+ (10 microM to 7 mM) on transepithelial potential difference (PD), resistance and conductance (G), short-circuit current (Isc), H+ secretion, and transepithelial fluxes of 36Cl-. Ba2+ in the serosal, but not the mucosal, solution of both preparations caused PD, G, Isc, and Cl- secretion (JnetCl, Isc conditions) to decrease, while H+ secretion remained constant. Because the oxyntic cells were most likely the site of action for Ba2+, these cells must have the capacity to secrete Cl- in excess of H+ ions. The inhibitory effect of Ba2+ was not due to competition in the serosal membrane by Ba2+ for surface charges, Ca2+ sites, Na+ sites, or Cl- sites. When [K+] in both the mucosal and serosal solutions or in just the serosal solution ([K+]s) alone was increased to 10 mM, the inhibitory effects of low [Ba2+] were reduced; however, at higher [Ba2+], Isc was stimulated. At least part of the Ba2+ effect seems to be due to blockage of K+ channels in the serosal membrane of oxyntic cells. High [K+]s also caused decreased PD and Isc (but increased G) with no change in H+ secretion. It is proposed that during Isc conditions, JnetCl involves a neutral Na+-dependent accumulation of Cl- within oxyntic cells and a passive, conductive efflux fromthe cells into the mucosal solution. Ba2+ and high [K+] may alter this transport by depolarizing and, under certain conditions, hyperpolarizing intracellular voltage.

Stimulation Of

By use of an in vitro canine gastric mucosal preparation, we evaluated the effects of ethanol (2, 4, 6, and 8%, vol/vol) and indomethacin (2.2 X 10(-4)M), with and without 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 pretreatment, on net sodium transport (JNanet) (mucosal to serosal) across gastric epithelium. Although administration of 2 or 4% ethanol to the mucosal bathing solution had no appreciable inhibitory effects on sodium transport, 6 and 8% ethanol and indomethacin significantly inhibited JNanet when compared with untreated control mucosa. This effect was accompanied by inhibition of transmucosal potential difference (PD) and short-circuit current (Isc). In other mucosae exposed to dimethyl PGE2 (8 X 10(-6) M) in the serosal bathing solution, significant increases in JNanet, PD, and Isc were noted when compared with control mucosa. Addition of 6 or 8% ethanol to the mucosal solution of dimethyl PGE2-pretreated tissue resulted in significant decreases in PD, Isc, and JNanet below control values that were not significantly different from mucosa exposed to 6 and 8% ethanol without PG pretreatment. When indomethacin was added to the mucosal solution following dimethyl PGE2 pretreatment, only slight decreases in PD and Isc below control levels were observed, and the inhibitory effects on JNanet induced by indomethacin without such treatment were abolished. These findings suggest that stimulation of JNanet by prostaglandin may play a role in its ability to prevent indomethacin damage to gastric epithelium but does not appear to be of importance in mediating protection against ethanol damage.

In the fowl cecum in vitro, the influence of glucose and the three most prevalent naturally occurring volatile fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate) on short-circuit current (Isc), electrical resistance, and transport of Na and Cl was determined. When glucose, acetate, or butyrate was present, ion transport was characterized by electrogenic Na absorption, greater than 65% of which was amiloride inhibitable, and Cl secretion, which also was electrogenic. Isc could be completely accounted for by net fluxes of Na and Cl. When glucose, acetate, or butyrate (10 mM both sides) was included in the incubation medium, cecal tissue maintained its Isc and a constant rate of net Na absorption and Cl secretion for a 5-h period. When no substrate was present or propionate was included in the medium, a marked fall in Isc and net Na and Cl fluxes was seen. Glucose caused an increase in Isc when added only to the serosal side. As 3-O-methylglucose (not metabolized) was not effective in stimulating Isc of the cecum (serosal or mucosal addition), it appeared that glucose increased Isc by acting as an energy substrate for active Na transport. Acetate and butyrate appeared to be equally effective in stimulating Na transport and Isc when placed on either side of the membrane. When the preparation was supplied with glucose (serosal side) and acetate was added to the mucosal side, no further stimulation of Isc occurred. Thus it appeared that acetate and butyrate were acting as substrates for active Na transport rather than stimulating Na transport by some other mechanism such as a cotransport with Na.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In contrast to in vivo findings, the equine proximal colon fails to demonstrate significant net absorption of Na+ and Cl- under in vitro conditions. The present study was undertaken to determine if endogenous prostanoids are responsible for this apparent lack of ion transport. Proximal colonic tissues from ponies were preincubated in either normal Ringer solution or in Ringer containing 1 microM indomethacin and studied in Ussing chambers containing these solutions. Untreated colonic mucosa demonstrated negligible Na(+)-Cl- absorption in the basal state. In contrast, indomethacin-treated colon significantly absorbed Na+ and Cl-, primarily as the result of an equivalent increase in the mucosal-to-serosal flux of these ions. Preincubation of proximal colon in 0.1 mM ibuprofen-treated Ringer yielded similar results. Treatment of indomethacin colon with 1 mM mucosal amiloride eliminated net Na(+)-Cl- absorption without affecting the short-circuit current (Isc). The Isc in control tissue was significantly greater than in indomethacin-treated tissue and was reduced by 0.1 mM serosal furosemide. Serosal addition of 0.1 microM prostaglandin E2 or 10 mM serosal plus mucosal theophylline to indomethacin-treated tissues abolished net Na(+)-Cl- absorption and increased the Isc to levels indistinguishable from control. In contrast, control tissues were essentially unaffected by these secretagogues. These findings indicated that Na(+)-Cl- absorption in equine proximal colon was electroneutral (possibly involving Na(+)-H+ exchange) and that the tissue was capable of electrogenic Cl- secretion. However, under the in vitro conditions, basal ion transport was dominated by endogenous prostanoids that abolished Na(+)-Cl- absorption and elicited near-maximal electrogenic Cl- secretion.

We examined the interaction of heptanol and hydrostatic pressure on Na+ and Cl- transport in isolated toad skin. In the presence of Cl-, heptanol decreased short-circuit current (Isc) and total transepithelial resistance (Rt). However, in the absence of Cl- in the mucosal bath, heptanol increased Rt, although it retained the same inhibitory effect on Isc. When transepithelial active Na+ transport was blocked by amiloride, heptanol had no effect on Isc whether or not Cl- was present, whereas it decreased the shunt resistance (Rs) only in the presence of Cl- in the mucosal bath. Moreover, this effect of heptanol on Rs was significantly smaller in the presence of diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC), a known Cl- channel blocker. Pressure also decreased Isc through inhibition of active Na+ transport, but it increased Rs. When heptanol and pressure were applied together, their inhibitory effects on Isc were additive, but their effects on Rs were antagonistic. Furthermore, when a transepithelial Cl- current was produced by reducing the Cl- concentration of the serosal bath, heptanol stimulated this current, which was reversibly inhibited by pressure or DPC addition to the mucosal bath. When the heptanol-stimulated Cl- current was first inhibited by pressure, subsequent DPC addition had less or no effect. These results suggest that one site of an antagonistic interaction of heptanol and pressure in toad skin is an apical membrane Cl- conductance.

Several transport proteins are known to be trafficked to the cell membrane in response to appropriate secretagogues. In several cases, the response has been shown to be dependent on the cytoskeleton. We tested the hypothesis that the forskolin- and/or ionomycin-sensitive Cl- secretory response in colonic epithelia is dependent on an intact cytoskeleton. Using 125I- efflux as an assay for Cl- transport in the colonic epithelial cell line T84, we found that preincubation of the tissue for 3 h with either of two inhibitors of microtubule polymerization, nocodazole or colchicine, disrupted the cellular tubulin architecture and also reduced the forskolin- but not the ionomycin-evoked I- efflux. In contrast, brief exposure (4 min) to nocodazole was without effect on the forskolin-sensitive efflux, suggesting that the drug is not acting to block the stimulus-response pathway. An inactive structural analogue of colchicine, beta-lumicolchicine, had no inhibitory effect on either the forskolin-sensitive efflux or on microtubular structure. In a second model of Cl- secretion, the stripped rat colon, both colchicine and nocodazole reduced the forskolin-dependent short-circuit current by an average of 30-40%, suggesting a similar mechanism for insertion of Cl- channels into the plasma membrane. These findings suggest that the Cl- secretory response is dependent on microtubules and has a physiological role in the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent, but not the Ca(2+)-dependent, Cl- secretion in colonic epithelia.

Active Sodium

Studies were undertaken to determine whether the stimulatory effect of histamine and the methyl xanthines on the frog gastric mucosa in vitro could be ascribed to the imidazole component of these compounds. The actively transported ions of gastric secretion appear in the form of hydrochloric acid and of a nonacid chloride component that is responsible for the short-circuit current (Isc). At 10–2 m, imidazole reduced acid secretion (Jh) by 80%, which was somewhat greater than the reduction produced by thiocyanate. N-methylimidazole, 2-methylimidazole, 4(5)-methylimidazole, and benzimidazole abolished Jh. The Isc tended to rise as Jh fell. In stimulated mucosae, imidazole and N-methylimidazole promptly reduced oxygen consumption (qO2) by 25%; thiocyanate had a delayed and lesser effect. Pyrazole, 4-hydroxymethylimidazole, and tris had little or no effect on Jh, Isc, or qO2. Imidazole and N-methylimidazole reduced active sodium transport by the toad urinary bladder by 50%. The results indicate that the inhibitory effects of the imidazoles cannot be ascribed to their buffering capacity or to competitive inhibition of histamine. Instead the effects may result from depletion of tissue content of adenosine-3',5'-phosphate or from interference with protein-bound phosphohistidine in oxidative phosphorylation.

Mediators Of Inflammation

Lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid have been implicated as mediators of inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To assess their role in regulation of electrolyte transport, we investigated the effect of leukotriene D4 (LTD4) on ion transport across isolated rat colonic mucosa under voltage-clamp conditions. Serosal addition of LTD4 caused a dose-dependent rapid and transient increase in both short-circuit current (Isc) and potential difference, with maximal response at 1 microM. Pretreatment of the tissue with a specific LTD4 receptor antagonist (SKF-104353) inhibited these LTD4 effects. The effect of LTD4 on Isc and potential difference was also abolished by the absence of Cl- from both bathing solutions or by the presence of a Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport inhibitor (bumetanide). A cyclooxygenase inhibitor (piroxicam) completely prevented the LTD4-induced increase in Isc. In addition, the effect of LTD4 on Isc was inhibited by either 5-hydroxytryptamine2 or 5-hydroxytryptamine3 antagonists (ketanserin and ICS-205-930, respectively). These results are consistent with a model in which LTD4 initially stimulates the synthesis from lamina propria cells of cyclooxygenase metabolites that induce electrogenic Cl- secretion, most likely via serotonergic receptors.

Cl Secretion

Increased colonic Cl- secretion was supposed to be a causative factor of diarrhea in inflammatory bowel diseases. Surprisingly, hyporesponsiveness to Cl- secretagogues was later described in inflamed colon. Our aim was to evaluate changes in secretory responses to cholinergic agonist carbachol in distal and proximal colon during colitis development, regarding secretory activity of enteric nervous system (ENS) and prostaglandins. Increased responsiveness to carbachol was observed in both distal and proximal colon after 3 days of 2 % dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) administration. It was measured in the presence of mucosal Ba2+ to emphasize Cl- secretion. The described increase was abolished by combined inhibitory effect of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and indomethacin. Indomethacin also significantly reduced TTX-sensitive current. On the 7th day of colitis development responsiveness to carbachol decreased in distal colon (compared to untreated mice), but did not change in proximal colon. TTX-sensitive current did not change during colitis development, but indomethacin-sensitive current was significantly increased the 7th day. Decreased and deformed current responses to serosal Ba2+ were observed during colitis induction, but only in proximal colon. We conclude that besides inhibitory effect of DSS on distal colon responsiveness, there is an early stimulatory effect that manifests in both distal and proximal colon.

Stripped rabbit colonic mucosa was studied in vitro in Ussing chambers to further investigate the role of Ca in regulating K and Cl secretion stimulated by the divalent cation ionophore A23187, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), or 8-bromo-cAMP (8BrcAMP). To assess the effects of these secretagogues on the paracellular shunt permeability, we measured the Na concentration dependence of the serosal-to-mucosal Na flux in the absence or presence of these stimuli. Results from these studies reveal that changes in net K and Cl secretion produced by secretory stimuli cannot be accounted for by a change in shunt permeability. The possible involvement of Ca in the secretory response of the colon to these stimuli was investigated by measuring the changes in Cl and K transport elicited by A23187, PGE1, or 8BrcAMP in the absence or presence of trifluoperazine (10(-4) M) added to the serosal bathing solution. Trifluoperazine alone did not significantly alter basal Na or Cl fluxes or short-circuit current (Isc) but did decrease transepithelial conductance (Gt) and the serosal-to-mucosal K flux. Pretreatment of the tissues with trifluoperazine significantly reduced or abolished the changes in K fluxes elicited by A23187, 8BrcAMP, or PGE1 without altering the changes in Cl transport, Isc, and Gt. These results suggest that K secretion induced by these secretagogues involves an increase in intracellular Ca concentration and may be mediated by calmodulin.

Ca(2+)-dependent secretagogues (e.g., carbachol, histamine, ionomycin, and 4-bromo-A23187) have relatively transient effects on chloride secretion, even if there is a sustained increase in cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) (as for the ionophores). Because these agents increase both [Ca2+]i and protein kinase C (PKC) activity, chloride secretion might be stimulated by [Ca2+]i and terminated by PKC activity. We tested the effect of a PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), on Cl- secretion by T84 cell monolayers by measuring short-circuit current (Isc). PMA alone had no effect on Isc but potentiated increases in Isc when added 10 min or less before Ca(2+)-dependent secretagogues. Chelation of [Ca2+]i with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid inhibited the increases both in [Ca2+]i and Isc induced by carbachol with or without brief PMA pretreatment. Longer preincubations with PMA inhibited Isc responses to Ca(2+)-dependent secretagogues, even when increased [Ca2+]i was sustained by ionophores. Inhibitors of PKC could reverse the inhibitory effect of PMA but did not reverse the potentiating effect. The effects of PMA on Cl- secretion were reproduced by 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol and were mirrored by effects on K+ channel opening. Thus PMA has dual effects on chloride secretion. Initially, it exerts a stimulatory action and subsequently an inhibitory action. The stimulatory effect only occurs if Ca(2+)-dependent secretion is ongoing. The inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated by PKC and cannot be overcome by increasing [Ca2+]i.
