The rectal gland of the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, provides an easily studied model of active chloride transport powered indirectly by Na-K-ATPase. Co-transport of sodium with chloride can be demonstrated in membrane vesicles isolated from basolateral membranes of the gland. Chloride secretion is under the hormonal control of vasoactive intestinal peptide, and possibly other agents, via adenyl cyclase and cyclic AMP. A similar mechanism is probably responsible for the active transport of chloride across other biological membranes.

The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and forskolin on carbachol-induced K+ release from superfused rat submandibular and parotid gland fragments was examined using a K(+)-sensitive electrode. Carbachol (0.1, 1, and 10 microM) superfused over the glandular fragments for 15 min caused a concentration-dependent, transient elevation of K+ efflux, with a peak value after approximately 5 min. The carbachol-induced release of K+ could be divided into two distinct components, one transient peak lasting 5-8 min independent of extracellular Ca2+ and a second component of K+ release dependent on Ca2+ in the perfusion medium. VIP (1 microM) lacked effect on K+ efflux on its own but increased the carbachol (1 microM)-evoked K+ release. The VIP effects on K+ efflux were mimicked by forskolin (10 microM). Omission of Ca2+ from the medium totally abolished the augmenting effect of VIP and forskolin on carbachol-evoked K+ efflux. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (1 or 10 microM) induced a prolonged low-rate efflux of K+, which was dependent on Ca2+ in the medium. This effect of A23187 on K+ secretion was potentiated by forskolin (10 microM). The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase blocker ouabain did not affect K+ release on its own, a lack of effect which remained following pretreatment with forskolin. It is concluded that VIP, by increasing the intracellular levels of cAMP in the glandular cell, potentiates carbachol-evoked Ca2(+)-dependent K+ efflux. These results may help to explain the synergistic effects of the coexisting transmitters VIP and acetylcholine.

Addition of either vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) or the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, to confluent monolayers of the T84 epithelial cell line derived from a human colon carcinoma increased the rate of 86Rb+ or 42K+ efflux from preloaded cells. Stimulation of the rate of efflux by VIP and A23187 still occurred in the presence of ouabain and bumetanide, inhibitors of the Na+,K+-ATPase and Na+,K+,Cl- cotransport, respectively. The effect of A23187 required extracellular Ca2+, while that of VIP correlated with its known effect on cyclic AMP production. Other agents which increased cyclic AMP production or mimicked its effect also increased 86Rb+ efflux. VIP- or A23187-stimulated efflux was inhibited by 5 mM Ba2+ or 1 mM quinidine, but not by 20 mM tetraethylammonium, 4 mM 4-aminopyridine, or 1 microM apamin. Under appropriate conditions, VIP and A23187 also increased the rate of 86Rb+ or 42K+ uptake. Stimulation of the initial rate of uptake by either agent required high intracellular K+ and was not markedly affected by the imposition of transcellular pH gradients. The effect of A23187, but not VIP or dibutyryl cyclic AMP, was refractory to depletion of cellular energy stores. A23187-stimulated uptake was not significantly affected by anion substitution, however, stimulation of uptake by VIP required the presence of a permeant anion. This result may be due to the simultaneous activation of a cyclic AMP-dependent Cl- transport system. The kinetics of both VIP- and A23187-stimulated uptake and efflux were consistent with a channel-rather than a carrier-mediated K+ transport mechanism. The results also suggest that cyclic AMP and Ca2+ may activate two different kinds of K+ transport systems. Finally, both transport systems have been localized to the basolateral membrane of T84 monolayers, a result compatible with their possible regulatory role in hormone-activated electrogenic Cl- secretion.

Secretion of chloride from blood to lumen is accomplished in the rectal gland of elasmobranchs by a process of secondary active transport involving the co-transport of Cl- with Na+ across the basolateral membranes of rectal gland cells. Energy is provided by ATP via membrane Na-K-ATPase, which establishes an electrochemical gradient favouring Na+ influx into the cell. The involvement of K+ in the co-transport mechanism, so as to provide a ratio of 1 Na+:1 K+:2 Cl- entering the cell, would increase the energetic efficiency of the process, and is consistent with the Cl/O2 ration of 27-30 observed in secreting rectal glands. Secretion is stimulated by cyclic AMP (cAMP) and by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and adenosine, which activate adenylate cyclase. Activation of the gland in vivo probably occurs via VIP-secreting nerves as well as circulating agents; it is inhibited by somatostatin. Cyclic AMP probably stimulates chloride secretion by at least three mechanisms: (1) increasing chloride conductance across the luminal cell membrane, (2) enhancing the co-transport pathway for transmembrane movements of Na+, K+ and Cl- and (3) activating Na-K-ATPase.

Physiological evidence suggests that muscarinic receptors mediate the secretory response of the intestinal mucosa of cholinergic agonists, but the question of whether muscarinic receptors are intrinsic to intestinal epithelial cells has remained unanswered. We therefore studied binding of the muscarinic ligand [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate to isolated rat colonic epithelial cells. Specific binding in the membrane preparation reached equilibrium in 30 min at 37 degrees C, was linear with tissue protein concentration and was saturable. Estimates of the apparent equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) equalling 0.11 +/- 0.03 nM and of maximum receptor density (Bmax) equalling 103.6 +/- 9.0 fmol/mg of protein were determined from Scatchard plots of the binding data. The Hill coefficient for binding was 0.93 +/- 0.04. From kinetic analysis of data, association and dissociation rate constants of 8.6 X 10(7) M-1 min-1 and 6.0 X 10(-3) min-1, respectively, were calculated. Inhibition of specific binding was stereoselective and pharmacologically specific for muscarinic agents. Specific binding, vasoactive intestinal peptide-stimulated adenylate cyclase and Na+-K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activities were highest in a mitochondrial-free fraction of rat colonocytes. Specific binding was lowest in the nuclear fraction, followed by the total particulate and mitochondrial fractions. The regional distribution of specific binding along the length of the intestine was also studied. Scatchard analysis revealed one specific binding site, with the same KD in the jejunum, ileum and colon. The receptor density was the same in the jejunum and ileum, but about 5-fold higher for the existence of muscarinic receptors on intestinal epithelial cells and suggest that the effects of muscarinic drugs on intestinal epithelial cell function are mediated by interaction with these receptors.

The mechanism of the potentiating effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cholecystokinin (CCK-8)-induced amylase release was studied in isolated and perifused pancreatic acini of the guinea pig. VIP (30 pM-10 nM) potentiated CCK-8 (100 pM)-induced amylase release. Unexpectedly, VIP inhibited CCK-8-induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillations. Forskolin (10 microM), an activator of adenylate cyclase, potentiated CCK-8 (100 pM)-induced amylase release with a time course similar to that observed with VIP. Caffeine (20 mM) inhibited both amylase release and Ca2+ oscillations in response to CCK-8, suggesting that inhibition of Ca2+ oscillations does not necessarily lead to a potentiation of amylase release. When intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) was raised by thapsigargin (10 microM), a selective inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), VIP (10 nM) induced significantly greater amylase release than that induced by VIP alone. When [Ca2+]c was lowered by preincubation with BAPTA-AM (25 microM), a cell-permeant Ca2+ chelator, VIP-induced amylase release was completely abolished. These results suggest that VIP, in spite of its inhibitory action on Ca2+ oscillations, facilitates a Ca(2+)-dependent process distal to the increase in [Ca2+]c to potentiate CCK-8-induced amylase release.

To elucidate the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) on airway smooth muscle function, we studied rabbit isolated tracheal segments under isometric conditions in vitro. Addition of VIP and PACAP dose-dependently relaxed tracheal smooth muscle precontracted with acetylcholine, with the order potency being PACAP (1) > or = VIP (0.78), accompanied by the corresponding increase in intracellular cyclic AMP levels. The VIP- and PACAP-induced muscle relaxations were significantly inhibited by ouabain and K(+)-free medium. Incubation of tissues with VIP reduced the contractile responses to electrical field stimulation, whereas PACAP had no effect. These results suggest that VIP and PACAP may cause bronchodilation through activation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and that VIP but not PACAP inhibits the release of acetylcholine from the cholinergic nerve terminals.

Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, exerts prominent antiulcer activity via both antisecretory and mucosal protective actions. Although the antisecretory action has been explained by inactivation of (H+, K+)-ATPase in parietal cells, the mode of mucosal protective action remains to be elucidated. In the present study, the effect of lansoprazole on duodenal bicarbonate secretion was studied in anesthetized rats to clarify the mode of the mucosal protective action. Lansoprazole (0.1 mM) applied topically to the duodenum significantly (P < 0.01) increased bicarbonate secretion by 0.36 +/- 0.11 microeq/15 min (21 +/- 5%) compared with the value in the vehicle control. Topical administration of capsaicin (10 mg/ml) in the duodenum and intravenous infusion of vasoactive intestinal peptide (10 micrograms/kg/hr) increased bicarbonate secretion. Five-minute perfusion of the duodenal loop with 100 mM HCl increased bicarbonate secretion. Administration of lansoprazole (0.3 and 1 mg/kg, intravenously) 60 min before luminal acidification enhanced the acid-induced bicarbonate secretion dose-dependently and significantly (P < 0.01). In the capsaicin-pretreated rats, the effects of lansoprazole on basal and acid-induced bicarbonate secretion were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased compared with that of control group. These results indicate that lansoprazole increases basal and acid-induced bicarbonate secretion in the duodenum in rats and that capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons may be involved in the mode of action for these effects.

A major advance in transport physiology was H. H. Ussing's development of the voltage-clamp method, and later the Koefoed-Johnsen-Ussing model for Na+ transport. In the same decade, J. C. Skou identified the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, which maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients that drive most epithelial transport processes. With this foundation, Danish scientists have pursued the mechanism of ion transport and the resulting solute-linked water flow. Recent contributions have been on isosmotic transport, suggesting solute recycling, and KCl-water cotransport in the basolateral epithelial cell membrane. Efficient small intestinal nutrient absorption is dependent on coupling to the Na+ gradient. Cotransport of Na+ and glucose is quantitatively the most important absorptive mechanism in the small intestine, as illustrated by the success of oral rehydration solutions in diarrhoea. The majority of amino acids are likewise transported by Na+ dependent carriers, but recent experiments have identified a concomitant Cl- dependency for some. Regulation of intestinal secretion, both under normal digestive processes, and in response to enterotoxins, has turned out to be very complex. It involves local and central neuronal regulation through an array of neurotransmitters and local actions of gastrointestinal hormones. Major effectors are the submucosal neurons and the main transmitters serotonin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, acetylcholine, substance P, and neurotensin. Development of antisecretagogues is impeded by the existence of several receptor subtypes and significant species differences. The Na+ and water-conserving properties of the large intestine have been shown to be regulated by adrenocortical hormones, with aldosterone as a potent stimulator of colonic Na+ absorption. A major colonic function is the symbiosis with the anaerobic bacterial population. The fermentation of carbohydrate to short-chain fatty acids, which can be absorbed, supplements small intestinal digestive function.

1. Relaxation of airway smooth muscle induced by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is mediated by adenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP). An interaction between the synthesis of cyclic AMP and enzymic activity of the plasmalemmal sodium pump (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) exists in certain isolated cell systems. This study sought to determine the contribution of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity to relaxation of airway smooth muscle evoked by VIP. 2. All experiments were performed on isolated strips of guinea-pig trachea from which the epithelium had been removed. VIP was a more potent relaxant in tissues that were contracted with carbachol than those contracted with an equi-effective depolarizing concentration of K+. 3. Ouabain (0.1 microM-10 microM) induced contraction of tracheal strips. Contraction to ouabain (5 microM) was abolished following incubation of tissues with K(+)-free, or Ca(2+)-free (+ EGTA, 0.1 mM) physiological solutions. The contractile response to ouabain (5 microM) was not influenced significantly by exposure of the tissues to atropine (1 microM), phentolamine (5 microM) and diphenhydramine (1 microM) for 60 min. 4. Tissues were incubated with ouabain (5 microM; 60 min) or K(+)-free physiological solution (60 min) to inhibit Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. These procedures reduced relaxation induced by VIP, peptide histidine isoleucine, forskolin, isoprenaline and sodium nitroprusside. 5. Relaxation to VIP was impaired significantly following exposure of tissues to a low Na+ solution (30 min) or amiloride (500 microM; 30 min). 6. Ouabain-sensitive uptake of 86Rb was measured in tracheal strips (devoid of epithelium and cartilage) as an index of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. VIP (1 microM; 2 min) caused a 4.7 fold stimulation of ouabain-sensitive uptake of 86Rb. This effect was impaired significantly by low Na+ solution. 7. The results suggest that (i) relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle to VIP is sensitive to procedures that inhibit activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and invoke a role for altered sodium pump function in the mechanisms that underlie cyclic AMP-dependent relaxation; and (ii) VIP stimulates ouabain-sensitive uptake of 86Rb in airway smooth muscle in a Na(+)-dependent manner.
