Effects of trifluoperazine, ouabain, and ethacrynic acid on intestinal calcium transport

M. J. Favus, E. Angeid-Backman, M. D. Breyer and F. L. Coe

Bidirectional steady-state calcium fluxes were measured in vitro under short-circuited conditions in segments of rat duodenum and descending colon. The calcium-activated ATPase (Ca-ATPase) inhibitor trifluoperazine (TFP, 0.1 mM) reduced net calcium absorption in both tissues by decreasing the absorptive flux from mucosa to serosa (Jm leads to s) without consistently altering the secretory flux from serosa to mucosa. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 administration (50 ng/day for 4 days) increased net calcium absorption by increasing Jm leads to s, and TFP reduced Jm leads to s to the same extent across tissues from vehicle- or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-treated animals. Na-K-ATPase inhibitors ouabain and ethacrynic acid both reduced short-circuit current without affecting calcium fluxes. These data suggest that Ca-ATPase, located in the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells, plays a role in the transepithelial transport of calcium. More general effects of TFP on intestinal epithelium may also contribute to the reduction in calcium fluxes. Duodenal and descending colon calcium transport appears independent of transcellular sodium transport mediated by Na-K-ATPase.
