Apical NHE isoforms differentially regulate butyrate-stimulated Na absorption in rat distal colon
2003
Bicarbonate and butyrate stimulate electroneutral Na absorption via apical membrane Na-H exchange (NHE) in rat distal colon. cAMP downregulates NHE-3 isoform and inhibits HCO3-dependent, but not butyrate-dependent, Na absorption. This study sought to determine whether 1) the apical membrane NHE-2 and NHE-3 isoforms differentially mediated HCO3- and butyrate-dependent Na absorption, and 2) cAMP had different effects on NHE-2 and NHE-3 isoforms. The effect of specific inhibitors of NHE-2 and NHE-3 isoforms (50 μM HOE 694 and 2 μM S3226, respectively) on unidirectional 22Na transepithelial fluxes performed across isolated mucosa from rat distal colon under voltage-clamp conditions was examined. HCO3 stimulation of Na absorption was inhibited by EIPA, a nonspecific inhibitor of all NHE isoforms, by S3226 and dibutyryl cAMP but not by HOE 694. In contrast, butyrate stimulation of Na absorption was not altered by dibutyryl cAMP and was not inhibited by HOE 694 in the absence of dibutyryl cAMP, but in the presen...
