Electrophysiological properties of anion exchangers in the luminal membrane of guinea pig pancreatic duct cells.

ABSTRACT: The pancreatic duct epithelium secretes the HCO3--rich pancreatic juice. The HCO3- transport across the luminal membrane has been proposed to be mediated by SLC26A Cl--HCO3- exchangers. To examine the electrophysiological properties of Cl--HCO3- exchangers, we directly measured HCO3- conductance in the luminal membrane of the interlobular pancreatic duct cells from guinea pigs using an inside-out patch-clamp technique. Intracellular HCO3- increased the HCO3- conductance with a half-maximal effective concentration value of approximately 30 mM. The selectivity sequence based on permeability ratios was SCN- (1.4)?>?Cl- (1.2)?=?gluconate (1.1)?=?I- (1.1)?=?HCO3- (1.0)?>?methanesulfonate (0.6). The sequence of the relative conductance was HCO3- (1.0)?>?SCN- (0.7)?=?I- (0.7)?>?Cl- (0.5)?=?gluconate (0.4)?>?methanesulfonate (0.2). The current dependent on intracellular HCO3- was reduced by replacement of extracellular Cl- with gluconate or by H2DIDS, an inhibitor of Cl--HCO3- exchangers. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the interlobular and main ducts expressed all SLC26A family members except Slc26a5 and Slc26a8. SLC26A1, SLC26A4, SLC26A6, and SLC26A10 were found to be localized to the luminal membrane of the guinea pig pancreatic duct by immunohistochemistry. These results demonstrate that these SLC26A Cl--HCO3- exchangers may mediate the electrogenic HCO3- transport through the luminal membrane and may be involved in pancreatic secretion in guinea pig ducts.

Project description:Biomechanical changes in the sclera likely underlie the excessive eye elongation of axial myopia. We studied the biomechanical characteristics of myopic sclera at the microscopic level using scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) with 7-μm in-plane resolution. Guinea pigs underwent form-deprivation (FD) in one eye from 4 to 12 days of age to induce myopia, and 12-μm-thick scleral cryosections were scanned using a custom-made SAM. Two-dimensional maps of the bulk modulus (K) and mass density (ρ) were derived from the SAM data using a frequency-domain approach. We assessed the effect on K and ρ exerted by: 1) level of induced myopia, 2) region (superior, inferior, nasal or temporal) and 3) eccentricity from the nerve using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Induced myopia ranged between -3D and -9.3D (Mean intraocular difference of -6.2 ± 1.7D, N = 11). K decreased by 0.036 GPa for every 1.0 D increase in induced myopia across vertical sections (p < 0.001). Among induced myopia right eyes, K values in the inherently more myopic superior region were 0.088 GPa less than the inferior region (p = 0.002) and K in the proximal nasal region containing the central axis were 0.10 GPa less than temporal K (p = 0.036). K also increased 0.12 GPa for every 1 mm increase in superior vertical distance (p < 0.001), an effect that was blunted after 1 week of FD. Overall, trends for ρ were less apparent than for K. ρ values increased by 20.7 mg/cm3 for every 1.00 D increase in induced myopia across horizontal sections (p < 0.001), and were greatest in the region containing the central posterior pole. ρ values in the inherently more myopic superior region were 13.1 mg/cm3 greater than that found in inferior regions among control eyes (p = 0.002), and increased by 11.2 mg/cm3 for every 1 mm increase in vertical distance (p = 0.001). This peripheral increase in ρ was blunted after 1 week of FD. Scleral material properties vary depending on the location in the sclera and the level of induced myopia. Bulk modulus was most reduced in the most myopic regions (both induced myopia and inherent regional myopia), and suggests that FD causes microscopic local decreases in sclera stiffness, while scleral mass density was most increased in the most myopic regions.

Project description:The muscularis mucosae, a type of smooth muscle located between the urothelium and the urinary bladder detrusor, has been described, although its properties and role in bladder function have not been characterized. Here, using mucosal tissue strips isolated from guinea pig urinary bladders, we identified spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) that appear to originate in the muscularis mucosae. This smooth muscle layer exhibited Ca(2+) waves and flashes, but localized Ca(2+) events (Ca(2+) sparks, purinergic receptor-mediated transients) were not detected. Ca(2+) flashes, often in bursts, occurred with a frequency (∼5.7/min) similar to that of SPCs (∼4/min), suggesting that SPCs are triggered by bursts of Ca(2+) flashes. The force generated by a single mucosal SPC represented the maximal force of the strip, whereas a single detrusor SPC was ∼3% of maximal force of the detrusor strip. Electrical field stimulation (0.5-50 Hz) evoked force transients in isolated detrusor and mucosal strips. Inhibition of cholinergic receptors significantly decreased force in detrusor and mucosal strips (at higher frequencies). Concurrent inhibition of purinergic and cholinergic receptors nearly abolished evoked responses in detrusor and mucosae. Mucosal SPCs were unaffected by blocking small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK) channels with apamin and were unchanged by blocking large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels with iberiotoxin (IbTX), indicating that SK and BK channels play a much smaller role in regulating muscularis mucosae SPCs than they do in regulating detrusor SPCs. Consistent with this, BK channel current density in myocytes from muscularis mucosae was ∼20% of that in detrusor myocytes. These findings indicate that the muscularis mucosae in guinea pig represents a second smooth muscle compartment that is physiologically and pharmacologically distinct from the detrusor and may contribute to the overall contractile properties of the urinary bladder.
