Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was found to increase both the short-circuit current (Isc) and the efflux of 125I- or 36Cl- in the colonic epithelial cell line HT-29.cl19A. Neither the PMA-provoked rise in Isc nor the stimulation of 125I- efflux was affected by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. The PMA-induced increase in Cl- efflux was not accompanied by a rise in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels. A prolonged incubation with PMA (3 h), however, inhibited the PMA- and the cAMP-stimulated Isc by greater than 90%, whereas the cAMP-provoked 125I- and 36Cl- efflux was not inhibited. The long-term PMA treatment was found to inhibit the basal and cAMP-provoked 86Rb+ efflux by 65 +/- 9 and 86 +/- 7%, respectively. A 3-h incubation with PMA also strongly inhibited the Ca2+ ionophore A23187-induced increase in 86Rb+ efflux, whereas the A23187-stimulated 125I- efflux was only marginally inhibited. These data suggest that phorbol esters, presumably by activation of protein kinase C, can provoke Cl- secretion in HT-29.cl19A colonocytes independently of a prostaglandin- or cAMP-mediated pathway. Prolonged exposure to PMA, however, causes an inhibition of net electrogenic Cl- secretion by downregulation of the activity of K+ transporters.
