| Abstract | Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) may participate in epithelial ion transport regulation. Here we examined the effect of mouse activating peptide (mAP), a specific activator of PAR-2, on electrogenic transport of mouse distal colon using short-circuit current (I SC) measurements. Under steady-state conditions, apical application of amiloride (100 μ m ) revealed a positive I SC component of 74.3 ± 6.8 μA cm−2 indicating the presence of Na+ absorption, while apical Ba2+ (10 mm) identified a negative I SC component of 26.2 ± 1.8 μA cm−2 consistent with K+ secretion. Baseline Cl− secretion was minimal. Basolateral addition of 20 μm mAP produced a biphasic I SC response with an initial transient peak increase of 11.2 ± 0.9 μA cm−2, followed by a sustained fall to a level 31.2 ± 2.6 μA cm−2 (n = 43) below resting I SC. The peak response was due to Cl− secretion as it was preserved in the presence of amiloride but was largely reduced in the presence of basolateral bumetanide (20 μm) or in the absence of extracellular Cl−. The secondary decline of I SC was also attenuated by bumetanide and by Ba2+, indicating that it is partly due to a stimulation of K+ secretion. In addition, the amiloride-sensitive I SC was slightly reduced by mAP, suggesting that inhibition of Na+ absorption also contributes to the I SC decline. Expression of PAR-2 in mouse distal colon was confirmed using RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. We conclude that functional basolateral PAR-2 is present in mouse distal colon and that its activation stimulates Cl− and K+ secretion while inhibiting baseline Na+ absorption. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
