| Abstract | The sustained effects of the cholinergic agonist carbachol (CCh) on electrolyte transport across the isolated, short-circuited rabbit distal colon were examined in the absence and presence of secretagogue (di-butyryl cyclic-adenosine monophosphate, dB-cAMP). Steady-state, basal absorption of 22Na+, 42K+ (86Rb+), and 36Cl– were not significantly altered by addition of the CCh (10–4 mmol/l) to the serosal reservoir. Stimulation with dB-cAMP (1.0 mmol/l, serosal) promoted K+ (or Rb+) and Cl– secretion across the colon, without significantly affecting the unidirectional or net fluxes of Na+. Serosal (but not mucosal) addition of CCh to dB-cAMP-stimulated tissues reduced the serosal to mucosal flux of Rb+ ( $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ ) in a concentration-dependent manner with a half-maximum concentration ≅5 µmol/l. Pretreatment with CCh (100 µmol/l, serosal) inhibited dB-cAMP-induced K+ secretion, but had no significant effect on the steady-state unidirectional fluxes of Na+ or Cl–. Serosal histamine (20 µmol/l) also inhibited $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ in dB-cAMP-stimulated tissues. Serosal epinephrine (10 µmol/l) promoted a decrease in short-circuit current (I sc) and transepithelial potential (V T) that was mirrored by increases in $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ . Both I sc and V T became more positive and $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ was reduced when CCh was added to the epinephrine-stimulated tissues. Serosal muscarine (50 µmol/l) mimicked the CCh-induced inhibition of $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ , but serosal nicotine (50 µmol/l) had no effect. In atropine-treated tissues (1 µmol/l, serosal), CCh failed to block dB-cAMP-stimulated increases in $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ . The inhibitory action of CCh was observed in tissues that had been pretreated with 50 µmol/l serosal hexamethonium (a ganglionic transmission blocker) or 2 µmol/l serosal tetrodotoxin (a voltage-gated Na+ channel blocker), indicating that the inhibitory action of this cholinergic agonist does not depend on remnant enteric neural pathways. Rubidium ion transport across confluent monolayers of T84 cells was similarly affected by dB-cAMP and CCh, supporting the notion that enteric neural pathways are not required. Serosal charybdotoxin (20 nmol/l) mitigated the inhibitory action of CCh on $$J_{SM}^{Rb} $$ in dB-cAMP-stimulated tissues, suggesting a role for basolateral, Ca2+-dependent K+ channels in the actions of CCh. It is concluded that basolateral muscarinic receptors (and possibly other Ca2+-dependent receptor pathways) of secretory colonocytes mediate the down-regulation of potassium ion secretion by rabbit distal colon, possibly by increasing basolateral membrane K+ conductance. |

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.
