Adrenergic activation of electrogenic K+ secretion in guinea pig distal colonic epithelium: involvement of beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors.

ABSTRACT: Adrenergic stimulation of electrogenic K+ secretion in isolated mucosa from guinea pig distal colon required activation of two beta-adrenergic receptor subtypes (beta-AdrR). Addition of epinephrine (epi) or norepinephrine (norepi) to the bathing solution of mucosae in Ussing chambers increased short-circuit current (Isc) and transepithelial conductance (Gt), consistent with this cation secretion. A beta-adrenergic classification was supported by propranolol antagonism of this secretory response and the lack of effect by the alpha-AdrR antagonists BE2254 (alpha1-AdrR) and yohimbine (alpha2-AdrR). Subtype-selective antagonists CGP20712A (beta1-AdrR), ICI-118551 (beta2-AdrR), and SR59320A (beta3-AdrR) were relatively ineffective at inhibiting the epi-stimulated Isc response. In combination, CGP20712A and ICI-118551 inhibited the response, which supported a synergistic action by beta1-AdrR and beta2-AdrR. Expression of mRNA for both beta1-AdrR and beta2-AdrR was indicated by RT-PCR of RNA from colonic epithelial cells. Protein expression was indicated by immunoblot showing bands at molecular weights consistent with monomers and oligomers. Immunoreactivity (ir) for beta1-AdrR and beta2-AdrR was prominent in basolateral membranes of columnar epithelial cells in the crypts of Lieberkühn as well as intercrypt surface epithelium. Cells in the pericryptal sheath also had beta1-AdrR(ir) but did not have discernable beta2-AdrR(ir). The adrenergic sensitivity of K+ secretion measured by Isc and Gt was relatively low as indicated by EC(50)s of 41 +/- 7 nM for epi and 50 +/- 14 nM for norepi. Adrenergic activation of electrogenic K+ secretion required the involvement of both beta1-AdrR and beta2-AdrR, occurring with an agonist sensitivity reduced compared with reported values for either receptor subtype.

Project description:Background and purposeMelatonin is involved in the regulation of colonic motility, and sensation, but little is known about the influence of melatonin on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release from colonic mucosa. A tachykinin NK? receptor-selective agonist, [?-Ala?]-neurokinin A(4-10) [?Ala-NKA-(4-10)] can induce 5-HT release from guinea pig colonic mucosa via NK? receptors on the mucosal layer. The present study was designed to determine the influence of melatonin on 5-HT release from guinea pig colonic mucosa, evoked by the NK? receptor agonist, ?Ala-NKA-(4-10).Experimental approachThe effect of melatonin was investigated on the outflow of 5-HT and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) from muscle layer-free mucosal preparations of guinea pig colon, using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.Key resultsMelatonin caused a sustained decline in the ?Ala-NKA-(4-10)-evoked 5-HT outflow from the muscle layer-free mucosal preparations, but failed to affect its metabolite 5-HIAA outflow. The specific MT? receptor agonist, 5-methoxycarbonylamino-N-acetyltryptamine mimicked the inhibitory effect of melatonin on ?Ala-NKA-(4-10)-evoked 5-HT outflow. A MT? receptor antagonist prazosin shifted the concentration-response curve of melatonin to the right in a concentration-dependent manner and depressed the maximum effect, but neither a combined MT?/MT? receptor antagonist luzindole, nor a MT? receptor antagonist N-pentanoyl-2-benzyltryptamine modified the concentration-response curve to melatonin.Conclusions and implicationsMelatonin inhibits NK? receptor-triggered 5-HT release from guinea pig colonic mucosa by acting at a MT? melatonin receptor located directly on the mucosal layer, without affecting 5-HT degradation processes. Possible contributions of MT?/MT? melatonin receptors to the inhibitory effect of melatonin appear to be negligible. Melatonin may act as a modulator of excess 5-HT release from colonic mucosa.
