The Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC1) located on the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelia has been postulated to be the major basolateral Cl- entry pathway. With targeted mutagenesis, mice deficient in the NKCC1 protein were generated. The basal short-circuit current did not differ between normal and NKCC1 -/- jejuna. In the -/- jejuna, the forskolin response (22 µA/cm2; bumetanide insensitive) was significantly attenuated compared with the bumetanide-sensitive response (52 µA/cm2) in normal tissue. Ion-replacement studies demonstrated that the forskolin response in the NKCC1 -/- jejuna was HCO3- dependent, whereas in the normal jejuna it was independent of the HCO3- concentration in the buffer. NKCC1 -/- ceca exhibited a forskolin response that did not differ significantly from that of normal ceca, but unlike that of normal ceca, was bumetanide insensitive. Ion-substitution studies suggested that basolateral HCO3- as well as Cl- entry (via non-NKCC1) paths played a role in the NKCC1 -/- secretory response. In contrast to cystic fibrosis mice, which lack both basal and stimulated Cl- secretion and exhibit severe intestinal pathology, the absence of intestinal pathology in NKCC1 -/- mice likely reflects the ability of the intestine to secrete HCO3- and Cl- by basolateral entry mechanisms independent of NKCC1.
