Upregulation of the colonic
H+-K+- ATPase (cHKA) during
hyperaldosteronism suggests that it functions in both K+
conservation and electrogenic Na+ absorption in the colon
when Na+-conserving mechanisms are activated. To test this
hypothesis, wild-type (cHKA+/+) and
cHKA-deficient (cHKA
/
) mice were fed
Na+-replete and Na+-restricted diets and their
responses were analyzed. In both genotypes, Na+ restriction
led to reduced plasma Na+ and increased serum aldosterone,
and mRNAs for the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC)
- and
-subunits, channel-inducing factor, and cHKA were increased in
distal colon. Relative to wild-type controls, cHKA
/
mice on a Na+-replete diet
had elevated fecal K+ excretion. Dietary Na+
restriction led to increased K+ excretion in knockout but
not in wild-type mice. The amiloride-sensitive, ENaC-mediated
short-circuit current in distal colon was significantly reduced in
knockout mice maintained on either the Na+-replete or
Na+-restricted diet. These results demonstrate that cHKA
plays an important role in K+ conservation during dietary
Na+ restriction and suggest that cHKA-mediated
K+ recycling across the apical membrane is required for
maximum electrogenic Na+ absorption.
