Abstract

Cyclic AMP-dependent secretagogues such as cholera toxin inhibit the coupled absorption of Na+ and Cl- and stimulate the secretion of HCO3- and Cl- in the ileum. Aside from Cl- secretion, little is known about the mechanism of these cyclic AMP-mediated effects. We therefore determined the effect of forskolin, an agent known to increase intracellular cyclic AMP by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, on Na+/H+ and Cl-/HCO3- exchange in isolated crypt and villus cells from rabbit ileum. Forskolin increased cyclic AMP in the villus cells and decreased intracellular pH. The effect of forskolin on pH in villus cells was HCO3- independent, Na+ dependent, and amiloride sensitive. Further, the rate of recovery from an acid load was decreased by forskolin. These data suggest that increasing cyclic AMP inhibits Na+/H+ exchange in villus cells. In crypt cells also, forskolin increased cyclic AMP; however, forskolin increased intracellular pH in these cells. The effect of forskolin in crypt cells was also HCO3- independent, Na+ dependent, and amiloride sensitive. However, the rate of recovery from an acid load was increased by forskolin, the opposite effect of that seen in villus cells. These data suggest that increasing cyclic AMP in crypt cells stimulates Na+/H+ exchange. Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange on the brush border membrane in villus cells would be expected to inhibit coupled NaCl absorption (which occurs by coupling of Na+/H+ and Cl-/HCO3- exchange). Stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange in crypt cells, present only on the basolateral membrane, alkalinizes the cell, which would be expected to stimulate HCO3- secretion by stimulating the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger on the brush border membrane. Thus, these results provide a mechanism for some of the previously unexplained in vivo and in vitro effects of cyclic AMP on ileal electrolyte transport.
