Stimulation of muscarinic receptors in duodenal mucosa raises intracellular Ca2+, which regulates ion transport, including HCO3 secretion. However, the underlying Ca2+ handling mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to determine whether Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) plays a role in the regulation of duodenal mucosal ion transport and HCO3 secretion by controlling Ca2+ homeostasis. Mouse duodenal mucosa was mounted in Ussing chambers. Net ion transport was assessed as short-circuit current (Isc), and HCO3 secretion was determined by pH-stat. Expression of NCX in duodenal mucosae was analyzed by Western blot, and cytosolic Ca2+ in duodenocytes was measured by fura 2. Carbachol (100 µM) increased Isc in a biphasic manner: an initial transient peak within 2 min and a later sustained plateau starting at 10 min. Carbachol-induced HCO3 secretion peaked at 10 min. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB, 100 µM) or LiCl (30 mM) significantly reduced the initial peak in Isc by 51 or 47%, respectively, and abolished the plateau phase of Isc without affecting HCO3 secretion induced by carbachol. Ryanodine (100 µM), caffeine (10 mM), and nifedipine (10 µM) had no effect on either response to carbachol. In contrast, nickel (5 mM) and KB-R7943 (1030 µM) significantly inhibited carbachol-induced increases in duodenal mucosal Isc and HCO3 secretion. Western blot analysis showed expression of NCX1 proteins in duodenal mucosae, and functional NCX in duodenocytes was demonstrated in Ca2+ imaging experiments where Na+ depletion elicited Ca2+ entry via the reversed mode of NCX. These results indicate that NCX contributes to the regulation of Ca2+-dependent duodenal mucosal ion transport and HCO3 secretion that results from stimulation of muscarinic receptors.
