Activation of the basolateral membrane Cl- conductance essential for electrogenic K+ secretion suppresses electrogenic Cl- secretion.

ABSTRACT: Adrenaline activates transient Cl(-) secretion and sustained K(+) secretion across isolated distal colonic mucosa of guinea-pigs. The Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel inhibitor CaCCinh-A01 (30 ?m) significantly reduced electrogenic K(+) secretion, detected as short-circuit current (I(sc)). This inhibition supported the cell model for K(+) secretion in which basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels provide an exit pathway for Cl(-) entering the cell via Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporters. CaCCinh-A01 inhibited both I(sc) and transepithelial conductance in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50) = 6.3 ?m). Another Cl(-) channel inhibitor, GlyH-101, also reduced sustained adrenaline-activated I(sc) (IC(50) = 9.4 ?m). Adrenaline activated whole-cell Cl(-) current in isolated intact colonic crypts, confirmed by ion substitution. This adrenaline-activated whole-cell Cl(-) current was also inhibited by CaCCinh-A01 or GlyH-101. In contrast to K(+) secretion, CaCCinh-A01 augmented the electrogenic Cl(-) secretion activated by adrenaline as well as that activated by prostaglandin E(2). Synergistic Cl(-) secretion activated by cholinergic/prostaglandin E(2) stimulation was insensitive to CaCCinh-A01. Colonic expression of the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel protein Tmem16A was supported by RT-PCR detection of Tmem16A mRNA, by immunoblot with a Tmem16A antibody, and by detection of immunofluorescence in lateral membranes of epithelial cells. Alternative splices of Tmem16A were detected for exons that are involved in channel activation. Inhibition of K(+) secretion and augmentation of Cl(-) secretion by CaCCinh-A01 support a common colonic cell model for these two ion secretory processes, such that activation of basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels contributes to the production of electrogenic K(+) secretion and limits the rate of Cl(-) secretion. Maximal physiological Cl(-) secretion occurs only for synergistic activation mechanisms that close these basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels.

Project description:Our previous studies with a line of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (FL-MDCK) transfected with FLAG-labeled alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) showed that, although most of the short-circuit current (I (sc)) was amiloride sensitive (AS-I (sc)), there was also an amiloride-insensitive component (NS-I (sc)) due to Cl(-) secretion (Morris and Schafer, J Gen Physiol 120:71-85, 2002). In the present studies, we observed a progressive increase in NS-I (sc) and a corresponding decrease in AS-I (sc) during experiments. There was a significant negative correlation between AS-I (sc) and NS-I (sc) both in the presence and absence of treatment with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). NS-I (sc) could be attributed to both cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and a 4, 4'-diisothiocyano-2, 2'-disulfonic acid stilbene (DIDS)-sensitive Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel (CaCC). Continuous perfusion of both sides of the Ussing chamber with fresh rather than recirculated bathing solutions, or addition of hexokinase (6 U/ml), prevented the time-dependent changes and increased AS-I (sc) by 40-60%, with a proportional decrease in NS-I (sc). Addition of 100 muM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence of luminal amiloride produced a transient four-fold increase in NS-I (sc) that was followed by a sustained increase of 50-60% above the basal level. ATP release from the monolayers, measured by bioluminescence, was found to occur across the apical but not the basolateral membrane, and the apical release was tripled by cAMP treatment. These data show that constitutive apical ATP release, which occurs under both basal and cAMP-stimulated conditions, underlies the time-dependent rise in Cl(-) secretion and the proportional fall in ENaC-mediated Na(+) absorption in FL-MDCK cells. Thus, endogenous ATP release can introduce a significant confounding variable in experiments with this and similar epithelial cells, and it may underlie at least some of the observed interaction between Cl(-) secretion and Na(+) absorption.
