Dihydroxy bile salt-induced secretion of rubidium ion across the rabbit distal colon

R. W. Freel

Possible mechanisms of dihydroxy bile salt-induced K+ secretion by the mammalian colon were evaluated by studying the effects of taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC) on 86Rb+ transport across the isolated, short-circuited rabbit distal colon. Simultaneous measurements of 86Rb+ and 42K+ unidirectional fluxes were highly correlated [r = 0.964 for serosal (s) to mucosal (m) and 0.765 for m to s], indicating that Rb+ is a suitable tracer for K+ transport across the colon. Furthermore, mucosal Ba2+ (4 mM) or serosal ouabain (0.1 mM) decreased serosal to mucosal rubidium flux (JRbs----m) (from 0.24 +/- 0.02 to 0.09 +/- 0.02, and 0.08 +/- 0.01 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2, respectively) without affecting JRbm----s. Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dBcAMP, 0.5 mM serosal) specifically increased JRbs----m of controls (from 0.21 +/- 0.05 to 0.67 +/- 0.09 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2) through a barium- (4 mM, mucosal) sensitive pathway without affecting JRbs----m. Mucosal addition of 2 mM TCDC increased tissue conductance (GT), reduced short-circuit (Isc) slightly, and reversed JRbnet (from 0.13 +/- 0.05 to -0.29 +/- 0.08 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2) principally by increasing JRbs----m. The TCDC-induced increases in JRbs----m were reduced by 0.1 mM serosal ouabain (from 0.53 +/- 0.03 to 0.11 +/- 0.02 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2) or 4 mM mucosal Ba2+ (from 0.76 +/- 0.07 to 0.32 +/- 0.04 mu eq X h-1 X cm-2).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
