Abstract
Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) is a critical cell signaling component in gastrointestinal (GI) physiology. Cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt), as a secondary messenger, controls GI epithelial fluid and ion transport, mucus and neuropeptide secretion, as well as synaptic transmission and motility. The key roles of Ca2+ signaling in other types of secretory cell (including those in the airways and salivary glands) are well known. However, its action in GI epithelial secretion and the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained to be fully elucidated. The present review focused on the role of [Ca2+]cyt in GI epithelial anion secretion. Ca2+ signaling regulates the activities of ion channels and transporters involved in GI epithelial ion and fluid transport, including Cl- channels, Ca2+-activated K+ channels, cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator and anion/HCO3- exchangers. Previous studies by the current researchers have focused on this field over several years, providing solid evidence that Ca2+ signaling has an important role in the regulation of GI epithelial anion secretion and uncovering underlying molecular mechanisms. The present review is largely based on previous studies by the current researchers and provides an overview of the currently known molecular mechanisms of GI epithelial anion secretion with an emphasis on Ca2+-mediated ion secretion and its dysregulation in GI disorders. In addition, previous studies by the current researchers demonstrated that different regulatory mechanisms are in place for GI epithelial HCO3- and Cl- secretion. An increased understanding of the roles of Ca2+ signaling and its targets in GI anion secretion may lead to the development of novel strategies to inhibit GI diseases, including the enhancement of fluid secretion in CF and protection of the GI mucosa in ulcer diseases.

Essential role of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 in smoking-induced growth and migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Oncotarget 2018; 7:63816-63828. [PMID: 27588478 PMCID: PMC5325406 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.11695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2016] [Accepted: 08/24/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Tobacco-derived carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a major environmental risk factor for the pathogenesis of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the molecular mechanisms by which tobacco induces ESCC are not well understood. Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) is a plasma membrane transporter protein that plays an essential role in maintaining cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) homeostasis under physiological conditions and is implicated in tumorigenesis as well. In this study, we found that NCX1 expression was significantly higher in ESCC primary tissues compared to the noncancerous tissues and was overexpressed in tumor samples from the smoking patients. The expression of NCX1 proteins was also significantly higher in human ESCC cell lines compared to normal esophageal epithelial cell line. Moreover, NNK potentiated the [Ca2+]cyt signaling induced by removal of extracellular Na+, which was abolished by KB-R7943 or SN-6. NNK dose-dependently promoted proliferation and migration of human ESCC cells induced by NCX1 activation. Therefore, NCX1 expression correlates with the smoking status of ESCC patients, and NNK activates the Ca2+ entry mode of NCX1 in ESCC cells, leading to cell proliferation and migration. Our findings suggest NCX1 protein is a novel potential target for ESCC therapy.

Abstract
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) have traditionally been viewed principally as a means of Ca(2+) removal from non-excitable cells. However there has recently been increasing interest in the operation of NCXs in reverse mode acting as a means of eliciting Ca(2+) entry into these cells. Reverse mode exchange requires a significant change in the normal resting transmembrane ion gradients and membrane potential, which has been suggested to occur principally via the coupling of NCXs to localised Na(+) entry through non-selective cation channels such as canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels. Here we review evidence for functional or physical coupling of NCXs to non-selective cation channels, and how this affects NCX activity in non-excitable cells. In particular we focus on the potential role of nanojunctions, where the close apposition of plasma and intracellular membranes may help create the conditions needed for the generation of localised rises in Na(+) concentration that would be required to trigger reverse mode exchange.

Neurochem Res 2015; 40:2505-16. [PMID: 25555706 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-014-1505-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2014] [Revised: 12/01/2014] [Accepted: 12/19/2014] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
This paper describes the roles of the astrocytic Na(+), K(+)-ATPase for K(+) homeostasis in brain. After neuronal excitation it alone mediates initial cellular re-accumulation of moderately increased extracellular K(+). At higher K(+) concentrations it is assisted by the Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) transporter NKCC1, which is Na(+), K(+)-ATPase-dependent, since it is driven by Na(+), K(+)-ATPase-created ion gradients. Besides stimulation by high K(+), NKCC1 is activated by extracellular hypertonicity. Intense excitation is followed by extracellular K(+) undershoot which is decreased by furosemide, an NKCC1 inhibitor. The powerful astrocytic Na(+), K(+)-ATPase accumulates excess extracellular K(+), since it is stimulated by above-normal extracellular K(+) concentrations. Subsequently K(+) is released via Kir4.1 channels (with no concomitant Na(+) transport) for re-uptake by the neuronal Na(+), K(+)-ATPase which is in-sensitive to increased extracellular K(+), but stimulated by intracellular Na(+) increase. Operation of the astrocytic Na(+), K(+)-ATPase depends upon Na(+), K(+)-ATPase/ouabain-mediated signaling and K(+)-stimulated glycogenolysis, needed in these non-excitable cells for passive uptake of extracellular Na(+), co-stimulating the intracellular Na(+)-sensitive site. A gradual, spatially dispersed release of astrocytically accumulated K(+) will therefore not re-activate the astrocytic Na(+), K(+)-ATPase. The extracellular K(+) undershoot is probably due to extracellular hypertonicity, created by a 3:2 ratio between Na(+), K(+)-ATPase-mediated Na(+) efflux and K(+) influx and subsequent NKCC1-mediated volume regulation. The astrocytic Na(+), K(+)-ATPase is also stimulated by β1-adrenergic signaling, which further stimulates hypertonicity-activation of NKCC1. Brain ischemia leads to massive extracellular K(+) increase and Ca(2+) decrease. A requirement of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase signaling for extracellular Ca(2+) makes K(+) uptake (and brain edema) selectively dependent upon β1-adrenergic signaling and inhibitable by its antagonists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms by which hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) affects ion secretion across rat distal colonic epithelium. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Changes in short-circuit current induced by the H₂S-donor, sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS; 10 mmol·L⁻¹), were measured in Ussing chambers after permeabilization of the apical membrane with nystatin. Cytosolic Ca²(+) concentration ([Ca²(+)](i)) and Ca²(+) in intracellular stores were measured with fluorescent dyes. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were estimated with rhodamine 123. KEY RESULTS NaHS had a biphasic effect on overall currents across the basolateral membrane: an initial inhibition followed by a secondary stimulation. Both a scilliroside-sensitive action on the Na(+) -K(+)-ATPase and modulation of glibenclamide-sensitive and tetrapentylammonium-sensitive (i.e. ATP-sensitive and Ca²(+)-dependent) basolateral K(+) channels were involved in this action. Experiments with rhodamine 123 revealed that NaHS induced a hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane. NaHS evoked a biphasic change in [Ca²(+)](i) , an initial decrease followed by a secondary increase, known to be mediated by the release of stored Ca²(+). Initial falls in [Ca²(+)](i) were not mediated by a sequestration of Ca²(+) in intracellular Ca²(+) storing organelles, as the Mag-Fura-2 signal was unaffected by NaHS. Falls in [Ca²(+)](i) were inhibited by 2',4'-dichlorobenzamil, an inhibitor of the Na(+)-Ca²(+)-exchanger, and attenuated in Na(+)-free buffer, suggesting a transient stimulation of Ca²(+) outflow by this transporter, directly demonstrated by Mn²(+) quenching experiments. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS ATP-sensitive and Ca²(+)-dependent basolateral K(+) conductances, the basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-pump as well as Ca²(+) transporters were involved in the action of H₂S in regulating colonic ion secretion.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether carbon monoxide (CO) induces changes in ion transport across the distal colon of rats and to study the mechanisms involved. In Ussing chamber experiments, tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer (CORM-2), a CO donor, evoked a concentration-dependent increase in short-circuit current (I(sc)). A maximal response was achieved at a concentration of 2.5·10(-4) mol/l. Repeated application of CORM-2 resulted in a pronounced desensitization of the tissue. Anion substitution experiments suggest that a secretion of Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) underlie the CORM-2-induced current. Glibenclamide, a blocker of the apical cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator channel, inhibited the I(sc) induced by the CO donor. Similarly, bumetanide, a blocker of the basolateral Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter, combined with 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid sodium salt, an inhibitor of the basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, inhibited the CORM-2-induced I(sc). Membrane permeabilization experiments indicated an activation of basolateral K(+) and apical Cl(-) channels by CORM-2. A partial inhibition by the neurotoxin, tetrodotoxin, suggests the involvement of secretomotor neurons in this response. In imaging experiments at fura-2-loaded colonic crypts, CORM-2 induced an increase of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. This increase depended on the influx of extracellular Ca(2+), but not on the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. Both enzymes for CO production, heme oxygenase I and II, are expressed in the colon as observed immunohistochemically and by RT-PCR. Consequently, endogenous CO might be a physiological modulator of colonic ion transport.

Abstract
AIM Functional evidence suggests the presence of two types of intracellular Ca(2+) channels responsible for the release of Ca(2+) from Ca(2+)-stores, i.e. inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR), in rat colonic epithelium. Generally, three ryanodine receptor isoforms (RyR1-RyR3) are known; however, the type of RyR at this epithelium is unknown and was the focus of the present study. METHODS RyRs were characterized by molecular biological and immunohistochemical methods in the rat colon. RESULTS A transcript of RyR1 was found in mRNA from colonic crypts. In contrast, RyR2 and RyR3 were found in their corresponding reference tissues, but not in the cDNA from colonic crypts suggesting a predominant expression of the RyR1 isoform in this epithelium. In order to characterize the subcellular localization of RyR1, immunohistochemical experiments were performed. They showed that RyR1 is present in the lamina epithelialis mucosae and smooth muscle cells and is distributed equally along the whole crypt axis with no difference between surface and crypt cells. A double staining with IP(3)R3, the dominant cytoplasmic isoform of IP3Rs in this epithelium, revealed that there is only little colocalization of the two receptor subtypes within the epithelial cells. Furthermore, the epithelium is equipped with the enzyme CD38 responsible for the production of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose, the physiological agonist of RyR. RyRs are known to be activated by changes in the redox state. The oxidant, monochloramine evoked a ruthenium red-sensitive Ca(2+) release all over the crypt axis. This release was unaffected by prior stimulation of IP(3) receptors with ATP (and vice versa). CONCLUSION The present data suggest a functional separation of IP(3)- and ryanodine receptor-carrying Ca(2+) stores in the colonic epithelium.

Abstract
Arteriolar myogenic vasoconstriction occurs when stretch or increased membrane tension leads to smooth muscle cell (SMC) depolarization and opening of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. While the mechanism underlying the depolarization is uncertain a role for non-selective cation channels has been demonstrated. As such channels may be expected to pass Na(+), we hypothesized that reverse mode Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) may act to remove Na(+) and in addition play a role in myogenic signalling through coupled Ca(2+) entry. Further, reverse (Ca(2+) entry) mode function of the NCX is favoured by the membrane potential found in myogenically active arterioles. All experiments were performed on isolated rat cremaster muscle first order arterioles (passive diameter approximately 150 mum) which were pressurized in the absence of intraluminal flow. Reduction of extracellular Na(+) to promote reverse-mode NCX activity caused significant, concentration-dependent vasoconstriction and increased intracellular Ca(2+). This vasoconstriction was attenuated by the NCX inhibitors KB-R7943 and SEA 04000. Western blotting confirmed the existence of NCX protein while real-time PCR studies demonstrated that the major isoform expressed in the arteriolar wall was NCX1. Oligonucleotide knockdown (24 and 36 h) of NCX inhibited the vasoconstrictor response to reduced extracellular Na(+) while also impairing both steady-state myogenic responses (as shown by pressure-diameter relationships) and acute reactivity to a 50 to 120 mmHg pressure step. The data are consistent with reverse mode activity of the NCX in arterioles and a contribution of this exchanger to myogenic vasoconstriction.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was the characterization of the subtypes of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) in rat colonic epithelium. A monoclonal antibody against IP3R1 did not stain the colonic epithelial cells. In contrast, IP3R2 and IP3R3 were found within the epithelium; however, with a distinct intracellular localization and differences in their distribution along the crypt axis. IP3R2 immunoreactivity was found within the nuclei of the epithelial cells. The signal was distributed all over the nucleus and not restricted to the nuclear envelope as demonstrated by counterstaining with lamin B1 and electron microscopical examination after immunogold labelling. In contrast, an antibody against IP3R3 stained the epithelial cells mostly in their apical half in accordance with the typical localization of IP3R in organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, there was a gradient from the surface region towards the crypt fundus, where the IP3R3 signal could not be detected. Despite the strong IP3R3-gradient, in saponin-permeabilized colonic crypts exogenously administered IP3 or adenophostin A evoked a similar depletion of mag-fura-2-loaded intracellular Ca2+ stores in crypt and surface cells suggesting a contribution of the nuclear IP3R2 to the Ca2+ release. This conclusion was confirmed by experiments with isolated nuclei from colonic epithelium, at which IP3 was able to induce changes in the Ca2+ concentration, which were inhibited by 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), a blocker of IP3 receptors. These results demonstrate that the colonic epithelial cells undergo changes in IP3R subtype expression during differentiation.

Abstract
Although duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS) is currently accepted as an important defense mechanism against acid-induced duodenal injury, the mechanism and the regulation of DMBS are largely unknown. 5-HT may regulate DMBS, but little is known about its physiological relevance in DMBS and the underlying mechanism(s). Thus, the aims of the present study were to demonstrate the role of 5-HT in acid-stimulated DMBS and to further elucidate the precise mechanisms involved in this process. Luminal acid stimulation significantly increased 5-HT release from the duodenal mucosa (P<0.01). SB204070, a selective 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, dose-dependently reduced luminal acid-stimulated HCO3(-) secretion of mice in vivo. In Ussing chamber studies, 5-HT-induced I(SC) and DMBS were abolished by removal of extracellular Ca2+, and significantly attenuated by pharmacological blockade of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), intermediate Ca2+-activated K+ channels (IK(Ca)), or cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). 5-HT increased cytoplasmic free calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) in SCBN cells, a duodenal epithelial cell line, and knockdown of NCX1 proteins with a specific siRNA greatly decreased this 5-HT-mediated Ca2+ signaling. Taken together, our data suggest that 5-HT plays a physiological role in acid-stimulated DMBS via a Ca2+ signaling pathway, in which the plasma membrane NCX transporter as well as IK(Ca) and CFTR channels may be involved.

Abstract
Agonist-induced contraction of airway smooth muscle (ASM) can be triggered by an elevation in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, primarily through the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The refilling of the SR is integral for subsequent contractions. It has been suggested that Ca(2+) entry via store-operated cation (SOC) and receptor-operated cation channels may facilitate refilling of the SR. Indeed, depletion of the SR activates substantial inward SOC currents in ASM that are composed of both Ca(2+) and Na(+). Accumulation of Na(+) within the cell may regulate Ca(2+) handling in ASM by forcing the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) into the reverse mode, leading to the influx of Ca(2+) from the extracellular domain. Since depletion of the SR activates substantial inward Na(+) current, it is conceivable that the reverse mode of the NCX may contribute to the intracellular Ca(2+) pool from which the SR is refilled. Indeed, successive contractions of bovine ASM, evoked by various agonists (ACh, histamine, 5-HT, caffeine) were significantly reduced upon removal of extracellular Na(+); whereas contractions evoked by KCl were unchanged by Na(+) depletion. Ouabain, a selective inhibitor of the Na(+)/K(+) pump, had no effect on the reductions observed under normal and zero-Na(+) conditions. KB-R7943, a selective inhibitor of the reverse mode of the NCX, significantly reduced successive contractions induced by all agonists without altering KCl responses. Furthermore, KB-R7943 abolished successive caffeine-induced Ca(2+) transients in single ASM cells. Together, these data suggest a role for the reverse mode of the NCX in refilling the SR in ASM following Ca(2+) mobilization.

Abstract
Stimulation with the neurotransmitter dopamine causes an amplitude-modulated increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in epithelial cells of the ducts of cockroach salivary glands. This is completely attributable to a Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular space. Additionally, dopamine induces a massive [Na(+)](i) elevation via the Na(+)K(+)2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC). We have reasoned that Ca(2+)-entry is mediated by the Na(+)Ca(2+) exchanger (NCE) operating in the Ca(2+)-entry mode. To test this hypothesis, [Ca(2+)](i) and [Na(+)](i) were measured by using the fluorescent dyes Fura-2, Fluo-3, and SBFI. Inhibition of Na(+)-entry from the extracellular space by removal of extracellular Na(+) or inhibition of the NKCC by 10 microM bumetanide did not influence resting [Ca(2+)](i) but completely abolished the dopamine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. Simultaneous recordings of [Ca(2+)](i) and [Na(+)](i) revealed that the dopamine-induced [Na(+)](i) elevation preceded the [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. During dopamine stimulation, the generation of an outward Na(+) concentration gradient by removal of extracellular Na(+) boosted the [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. Furthermore, prolonging the dopamine-induced [Na(+)](i) rise by blocking the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase reduced the recovery from [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. These results indicate that dopamine induces a massive NKCC-mediated elevation in [Na(+)](i), which reverses the NCE activity into the reverse mode causing a graded [Ca(2+)](i) elevation in the duct cells.

Abstract
High potassium diets lead to an inverse regulation of sodium and magnesium absorption in ruminants, suggesting some form of cross talk. Previous Ussing chamber experiments have demonstrated a divalent sensitive Na(+) conductance in the apical membrane of ruminal epithelium. Using patch-clamped ruminal epithelial cells, we could observe a divalent sensitive, nonselective cation conductance (NSCC) with K(+) permeability > Cs(+) permeability > Na(+) permeability. Conductance increased and rectification decreased when either Mg(2+) or both Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) were removed from the internal or external solution or both. The conductance could be blocked by Ba(2+), but not by tetraethylammonium (TEA). Subsequently, we studied this conductance measured as short-circuit current (I(sc)) in Ussing chambers. Forskolin, IBMX, and theophylline are known to block both I(sc) and Na transport across ruminal epithelium in the presence of divalent cations. When the NSCC was stimulated by removing mucosal calcium, an initial decrease in I(sc) was followed by a subsequent increase. The cAMP-mediated increase in I(sc) was reduced by low serosal Na(+) and serosal addition of imipramine or serosal amiloride and depended on the availability of mucosal magnesium. Luminal amiloride had no effect. Flux studies showed that low serosal Na(+) reduced (28)Mg fluxes from mucosal to serosal. The data suggest that cAMP stimulates basolateral Na(+)/Mg(2+) exchange, reducing cytosolic Mg. This increases sodium uptake through a magnesium-sensitive NSCC in the apical membrane. Likewise, the reduction in magnesium uptake that follows ingestion of high potassium fodder may facilitate sodium absorption, as observed in studies of ruminal osmoregulation. Possibly, grass tetany (hypomagnesemia) is a side effect of this useful mechanism.

Abstract
Stimulation of muscarinic receptors in duodenal mucosa raises intracellular Ca(2+), which regulates ion transport, including HCO(3)(-) secretion. However, the underlying Ca(2+) handling mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to determine whether Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) plays a role in the regulation of duodenal mucosal ion transport and HCO(3)(-) secretion by controlling Ca(2+) homeostasis. Mouse duodenal mucosa was mounted in Ussing chambers. Net ion transport was assessed as short-circuit current (I(sc)), and HCO(3)(-) secretion was determined by pH-stat. Expression of NCX in duodenal mucosae was analyzed by Western blot, and cytosolic Ca(2+) in duodenocytes was measured by fura 2. Carbachol (100 muM) increased I(sc) in a biphasic manner: an initial transient peak within 2 min and a later sustained plateau starting at 10 min. Carbachol-induced HCO(3)(-) secretion peaked at 10 min. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB, 100 muM) or LiCl (30 mM) significantly reduced the initial peak in I(sc) by 51 or 47%, respectively, and abolished the plateau phase of I(sc) without affecting HCO(3)(-) secretion induced by carbachol. Ryanodine (100 muM), caffeine (10 mM), and nifedipine (10 muM) had no effect on either response to carbachol. In contrast, nickel (5 mM) and KB-R7943 (10-30 muM) significantly inhibited carbachol-induced increases in duodenal mucosal I(sc) and HCO(3)(-) secretion. Western blot analysis showed expression of NCX1 proteins in duodenal mucosae, and functional NCX in duodenocytes was demonstrated in Ca(2+) imaging experiments where Na(+) depletion elicited Ca(2+) entry via the reversed mode of NCX. These results indicate that NCX contributes to the regulation of Ca(2+)-dependent duodenal mucosal ion transport and HCO(3)(-) secretion that results from stimulation of muscarinic receptors.

Abstract
In the epithelium of rat distal colon the acetylcholine analogue carbachol induces a transient increase of short-circuit current (Isc) via stimulation of cellular K+ conductances. Inhibition of the turnover of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) by LiCl significantly reduced both the amplitude and the duration of this response. When the apical membrane was permeabilized with nystatin, LiCl nearly abolished the carbachol-induced activation of basolateral K+ conductances. In contrast, in epithelia, in which the basolateral membrane was bypassed by a basolateral depolarization, carbachol induced a biphasic increase in the K+ current across the apical membrane consisting of an early component carried by charybdotoxin- and tetraethylammonium-sensitive K+ channels followed by a sustained plateau carried by channels insensitive against these blockers. Only the latter was sensitive against LiCl or inhibition of protein kinases. In contrast, the stimulation of the early apical K+ conductance by carbachol proved to be resistant against inhibition of phospholipase C or protein kinases. However, apical dichlorobenzamil, an inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, or a Ca2+-free mucosal buffer solution significantly reduced the early component of the carbachol-induced apical K+ current. The presence of an apically localized Na+/Ca2+-exchanger was proven immunohistochemically. Taken together these experiments reveal divergent regulatory mechanisms for the stimulation of apical Ca2+-dependent K+ channels in this secretory epithelium, part of them being activated by an inflow of Ca2+ across the apical membrane.

Abstract
The lipophilic nitric oxide-liberating drug, 1,2,3,4-oxatriazolium,5-amino-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-chloride (GEA 3162), concentration-dependently induced a Cl(-) secretion in rat colon. At a low concentration (5 x 10(-5) M), the action was Ca(2+)-dependent, whereas at a high concentration (5 x 10(-4) M), the response was independent from extracellular Ca(2+). Fura-2 experiments at isolated colonic crypts revealed that GEA 3162 induced an increase of the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration due to an influx of extracellular Ca(2+), probably mediated by an activation of a nonselective cation conductance as demonstrated by whole-cell patch-clamp studies. After depolarization of the basolateral membrane, GEA 3162 (5 x 10(-4) M) stimulated a current, which was suppressed by glibenclamide but was resistant against blockade of protein kinases by staurosporine, suggesting an activation of apical Cl(-) channels directly by the nitric oxide (NO) donor. After permeabilizing the apical membrane with the ionophore, nystatin, GEA 3162 (5 x 10(-4) M) activated basolateral K(+) conductances and the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Thus, the lipophilic NO donor GEA 3162 stimulates a Cl(-) secretion in a Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent manner.
