A novel Cl-dependent Na/H exchange (Cl-NHE) has been identified in apical membranes of crypt cells of rat distal colon. The presence of Cl is required for both outward proton gradient-driven Na uptake in apical membrane vesicles (AMV) and Na-dependent intracellular pH recovery from an acid load in the crypt gland. The present study establishes that Cl-dependent outward proton gradient-driven 22Na uptake 1) is saturated with increasing extravesicular Na concentration with a Michaelis constant ( K m) for Na of ∼24.2 mM; 2) is saturated with increasing outward H concentration gradient with a hyperbolic curve and a K m for H of ∼1.5 μM; 3) is inhibited by the Na/H exchange (NHE) inhibitors amiloride, ethylisopropylamiloride, and HOE-694 with an inhibitory constant ( K i) of ∼480.2, 1.1, and 9.5 μM, respectively; 4) is inhibited by 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid, an anion exchange inhibitor at low concentration and a Cl channel blocker at high dose, and by 5-nitro-2(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid, a Cl channel blocker, with a K i of ∼280.6 and 18.3 μM, respectively; and 5) substantially stimulated Cl-NHE activity by dietary Na depletion, which increases plasma aldosterone and inhibits NHE in surface cell AMV. These properties of Cl-NHE are distinct from those of NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 isoforms that are present in colonic epithelial cells; thus these results suggest that the colonic crypt cell Cl-NHE is a novel NHE isoform.

A novel Na/H exchange activity that requires Cl was recently identified in the apical membrane of crypt cells of the rat distal colon. This study explores the nature of the coupling of Cl and Na/H exchange. A concentration of 100 μM 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid, a Cl channel blocker, inhibited the Cl dependence of both proton gradient-driven22Na uptake from crypt cell apical membrane vesicles and Na-dependent intracellular pH recovery from an acid load during microperfusion of the crypt lumen. Cl-dependent proton gradient-driven 22Na uptake was inhibited by 94% by 500 μM DIDS but only by 1% by 10 μM DIDS, an anion exchange inhibitor at low concentrations but a Cl channel blocker at high concentrations. In addition, a polyclonal antibody to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) inhibited Cl-dependent proton gradient-driven22Na uptake by 38%. These results indicate that the Cl dependence of Na/H exchange in the colonic crypt apical membrane involves a Cl channel and not a Cl/anion exchange and permit the speculation that this Cl channel activity represents both CFTR and the outward rectifying Cl conductance.

Na depletion inhibits electroneutral Na-Cl absorption in intact tissues and Na/H exchange in apical membrane vesicles (AMV) of rat distal colon. Two anion (Cl/HCO3 and Cl/OH) exchanges have been identified in AMV from surface cells of rat distal colon. To determine whether Cl/HCO3 and/or Cl/OH exchange is responsible for vectorial Cl movement, this study examined the spatial distribution and the effect of Na depletion on anion-dependent 36Cl uptake by AMV in rat distal colon. These studies demonstrate that HCO3 concentration gradient-driven36Cl uptake (i.e., Cl/HCO3 exchange) is 1) primarily present in AMV from surface cells and 2) markedly reduced by Na depletion. In contrast, OH concentration gradient-driven36Cl uptake (i.e., Cl/OH exchange) present in both surface and crypt cells is not affected by Na depletion. In Na-depleted animals HCO3 also stimulates36Cl via Cl/OH exchange with low affinity. These results suggest that Cl/HCO3 exchange is responsible for vectorial Cl absorption, whereas Cl/OH exchange is involved in cell volume and/or cell pH homeostasis.

This study describes Cl-HCO3 and Cl-OH exchanges as the mechanism for Cl uptake by apical membrane vesicles (AMV) of rat distal colon. Although HCO3 gradient-stimulated 36Cl uptake was additionally stimulated by the additional presence of a pH gradient, pH gradient-stimulated 36Cl uptake was not further enhanced by a HCO3 gradient. HCO3 gradient-stimulated and OH gradient-stimulated 36Cl uptake was not inhibited by voltage clamping, with K and its ionophore valinomycin, but was inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, an anion exchange inhibitor, with an apparent inhibitory constant of 7.8 and 106.0 microM, respectively. Increasing intravesicular OH concentration in the absence of HCO3 (with fixed extravesicular Cl concentration) yielded a sigmoidal curve for 36Cl uptake. In contrast, increasing intravesicular OH concentration in the presence of equimolar intra- and extravesicular HCO3 (25 mM) yielded a saturable hyperbolic curve. Increasing extravesicular Cl concentration saturated both HCO3 gradient-stimulated and OH gradient-stimulated 36Cl uptake, with a kinetic constant for Cl of approximately 11.9 and 22.6 mM, respectively. We conclude that Cl uptake in AMV of rat distal colon occurs via two separate anion (Cl-HCO3 and Cl-OH) exchange processes. We speculate that one of these two anion exchanges may be responsible for transcellular Cl movement, while the other may be important in the regulation of intracellular pH homeostasis.

HCO3−secretion has long been recognized in the mammalian colon, but it has not been well characterized. Although most studies of colonic HCO3−secretion have revealed evidence of lumen Cl−dependence, suggesting a role for apical membrane Cl−/HCO3−exchange, direct examination of HCO3−secretion in isolated crypt from rat distal colon did not identify Cl−-dependent HCO3−secretion but did reveal cAMP-induced, Cl−-independent HCO3−secretion. Studies were therefore initiated to determine the characteristics of HCO3−secretion in isolated colonic mucosa to identify HCO3−secretion in both surface and crypt cells. HCO3−secretion was measured in rat distal colonic mucosa stripped of muscular and serosal layers by using a pH stat technique. Basal HCO3−secretion (5.6 ± 0.03 μeq·h−1·cm−2) was abolished by removal of either lumen Cl−or bath HCO3−; this Cl−-dependent HCO3−secretion was also inhibited by 100 μM DIDS (0.5 ± 0.03 μeq·h−1·cm−2) but not by 5-nitro-3-(3-phenylpropyl-amino)benzoic acid (NPPB), a Cl−channel blocker. 8-Bromo-cAMP induced Cl−-independent HCO3−secretion (and also inhibited Cl−-dependent HCO3−secretion), which was inhibited by NPPB and by glibenclamide, a CFTR blocker, but not by DIDS. Isobutyrate, a poorly metabolized short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), also induced a Cl−-independent, DIDS-insensitive, saturable HCO3−secretion that was not inhibited by NPPB. Three distinct HCO3−secretory mechanisms were identified: 1) Cl−-dependent secretion associated with apical membrane Cl−/HCO3−exchange, 2) cAMP-induced secretion that was a result of an apical membrane anion channel, and 3) SCFA-dependent secretion associated with an apical membrane SCFA/HCO3−exchange.

In A6 distal nephron cells, short-circuit current (Isc) was increased by basolateral exposure to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; peak response at 1 microM). The effect was only partially abolished by either apical amiloride, an Na+ channel blocker, or 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB), a Cl- channel blocker. In apical cell-attached patches, we observed a 7-pS Cl- channel with a linear current-voltage relationship, a reversal potential near resting membrane potential, and open probability > 0.5. The channel was blocked by diphenylamine-2-carboxylate, glibenclamide, and NPPB but not by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. The frequency of observed Cl- channel activity increased 7-fold with 10-min exposure to PGE2 and 3.7-fold with longer (10-50 min) exposure to PGE2. The PGE2-induced increase in Cl- channel activity was due primarily to an increase in the number of functional channels. The following conclusions were made: 1) activation of apical, 7-pS Cl- channels in A6 cells accounts for the PGE2-induced increase in the amiloride-insensitive Isc, and 2) 7-pS Cl- channel activation was mediated via an increase in channel density without substantial effects on channel kinetics.

Two distinct colonic H+-K+-adenosinetriphosphatase (H+-K+-ATPase) isoforms can be identified in part on the basis of their sensitivity to ouabain. The colonic H+-K+-ATPase α-subunit (HKcα) was recently cloned, and its message and protein are present in surface (and the upper 20% of crypt) cells in the rat distal colon. These studies were performed to establish the spatial distribution of the ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-insensitive components of both H+-K+-ATPase activity in apical membranes prepared from surface and crypt cells and K+-dependent intracellular pH (pHi) recovery from an acid load both in isolated perfused colonic crypts and in surface epithelial cells. Whereas H+-K+-ATPase activity in apical membranes from surface cells was 46% ouabain sensitive, its activity in crypt apical membranes was 96% ouabain sensitive. Similarly, K+-dependent pHi recovery in isolated crypts was completely ouabain sensitive, whereas in surface cells K+-dependent pHi recovery was insensitive to ouabain. These studies provide compelling evidence that HKcα encodes the colonic ouabain-insensitive H+-K+-ATPase and that a colonic ouabain-sensitive H+-K+-ATPase isoform is present in colonic crypts and remains to be cloned and identified.

Although both Kcnn4c and Kcnma1 channels are present on colonic mucosal membranes, only Kcnma1 has been suggested to mediate K+ secretion in the colon. Therefore, studies were initiated to investigate the relative roles of Kcnn4c and Kcnma1 in mediating aldosterone (Na-free diet)-induced K+ secretion. Mucosal to serosal (m-s), serosal to mucosal (s-m), and net 86Rb+ (K+ surrogate) fluxes as well as short circuit currents ( Isc; measure of net ion movement) were measured under voltage clamp condition in rat distal colon. Active K+ absorption, but not K+ secretion, is present in normal, while aldosterone induces active K+ secretion (1.04 ± 0.26 vs. −1.21 ± 0.15 μeq·h−1·cm−2; P < 0.001) in rat distal colon. Mucosal VO4 (a P-type ATPase inhibitor) inhibited the net K+ absorption in normal, while it significantly enhanced net K+ secretion in aldosterone animals. The aldosterone-induced K+ secretion was inhibited by the mucosal addition of 1) either Ba2+ (a nonspecific K+ channel blocker) or charybdotoxin (CTX; a common Kcnn4 and Kcnma1 channel blocker) by 89%; 2) tetraethyl ammonium (TEA) or iberiotoxin (IbTX; a Kcnma1 channel blocker) by 64%; and 3) TRAM-34 (a Kcnn4 channel blocker) by 29%. TRAM-34, but not TEA, in the presence of IbTX further significantly inhibited the aldosterone-induced K+ secretion. Thus the aldosterone-induced Ba2+/CTX-sensitive K+ secretion consists of IbTX/TEA-sensitive (Kcnma1) and IbTX/TEA-insensitive fractions. TRAM-34 inhibition of the IbTX-insensitive fraction is consistent with the aldosterone-induced K+ secretion being mediated partially via Kcnn4c. Western and quantitative PCR analyses indicated that aldosterone enhanced both Kcnn4c and Kcnma1α protein expression and mRNA abundance. In vitro exposure of isolated normal colonic mucosa to aldosterone also enhanced Kcnn4c and Kcnma1α mRNA levels, and this was prevented by exposure to actinomycin D (an RNA synthesis inhibitor). These observations indicate that aldosterone induces active K+ secretion by enhancing mucosal Kcnn4c and Kcnma1 expression at the transcriptional level.
