Vagal stimuli increase duodenal mucosal HCO-3 secretion and may provide anticipatory protection against acid injury, but duodenal enterocyte (duodenocyte) responses and cholinoceptor selectivity have not been defined. We therefore developed a stable primary culture model of duodenocytes from rats and humans. Brief digestion of scraped rat duodenal mucosa or human biopsies with collagenase/dispase yielded cells that attached to the extracellular matrix Matrigel within a few hours of plating. Columnar cells with villus enterocyte morphology that exhibited spontaneous active movement were evident between 1 and 3 days of culture. Rat duodenocytes loaded with fura 2 responded to carbachol with a transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), with an apparent EC50 of ~3 µM. In a first type of signaling pattern, [Ca2+]i returned to basal or near basal values within 3-5 min. In a second type, observed in cells with enlarged vacuoles characteristic of crypt cell morphology, the initial transient increase was followed by rhythmic oscillations. Human duodenocytes responded with a more sustained increase in [Ca2+]i, and oscillations were not observed. Rat as well as human duodenocytes also responded to CCK-octapeptide but not to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. Equimolar concentrations (100 nM) of the subtype-independent muscarinic antagonist atropine and the M3 antagonist 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide prevented the response to 10 µM carbachol, whereas the M1 antagonist pirenzepine and the M2 antagonists methoctramine and AF-DX 116BS had no effect at similar concentrations. Responses in rat and human duodenocytes were similar. A new agonist-sensitive primary culture model for rat and human duodenocytes has thus been established and the presence of enterocyte CCK and muscarinic M3 receptors demonstrated.
