Cholinergic stimulation triggers the secretion of apically stored, preformed mucin from goblet cells but the pathway of cAMP-stimulated mucin secretion is not known. In this study the effect of cholera toxin on mucin secretion in the human colonic goblet cell line HT-29/B6 was investigated and compared to the action of carbachol. PAS staining of mucin blotted onto nitrocellulose served to quantify the secretion of total mucin. Metabolic labelling was used to evaluate the secretion of newly synthesized mucin. The mucinous nature of the detected material was confirmed with an immunoblot employing a well-characterized polyclonal antibody reacting with MUC2-mucin. Cholera toxin caused a 116-fold increase of intracellular cAMP and strongly stimulated the secretion of both preformed and newly synthesized mucin for more than 20 h. Carbachol only triggered the release of preformed mucin immediately after addition. The secretory response to cholera toxin could be partly inhibited by the protein kinase A inhibitor H8 and the microtubule inhibitor colchicine. The action of carbachol was not affected by these agents. In conclusion, we demonstrate a direct cAMP-dependent effect of cholera toxin on mucin secretion by intestinal goblet cells. In contrast to carbachol, the action of cholera toxin involves de novo synthesis of mucin molecules and microtubule-mediated secretion. There seem to be distinct secretion pathways for muscarinic or cAMP-dependent stimulation of mucin secretion.

D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
