Adrenaline activates transient Cl(-) secretion and sustained K(+) secretion across isolated distal colonic mucosa of guinea-pigs. The Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel inhibitor CaCCinh-A01 (30 μm) significantly reduced electrogenic K(+) secretion, detected as short-circuit current (I(sc)). This inhibition supported the cell model for K(+) secretion in which basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels provide an exit pathway for Cl(-) entering the cell via Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporters. CaCCinh-A01 inhibited both I(sc) and transepithelial conductance in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50) = 6.3 μm). Another Cl(-) channel inhibitor, GlyH-101, also reduced sustained adrenaline-activated I(sc) (IC(50) = 9.4 μm). Adrenaline activated whole-cell Cl(-) current in isolated intact colonic crypts, confirmed by ion substitution. This adrenaline-activated whole-cell Cl(-) current was also inhibited by CaCCinh-A01 or GlyH-101. In contrast to K(+) secretion, CaCCinh-A01 augmented the electrogenic Cl(-) secretion activated by adrenaline as well as that activated by prostaglandin E(2). Synergistic Cl(-) secretion activated by cholinergic/prostaglandin E(2) stimulation was insensitive to CaCCinh-A01. Colonic expression of the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel protein Tmem16A was supported by RT-PCR detection of Tmem16A mRNA, by immunoblot with a Tmem16A antibody, and by detection of immunofluorescence in lateral membranes of epithelial cells. Alternative splices of Tmem16A were detected for exons that are involved in channel activation. Inhibition of K(+) secretion and augmentation of Cl(-) secretion by CaCCinh-A01 support a common colonic cell model for these two ion secretory processes, such that activation of basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels contributes to the production of electrogenic K(+) secretion and limits the rate of Cl(-) secretion. Maximal physiological Cl(-) secretion occurs only for synergistic activation mechanisms that close these basolateral membrane Cl(-) channels.

D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
