Both main and distal segments of the Malpighian tubules were sensitive to ouabain and furosemide but in different ways. Oubain had no effect on secretion rate by the main segment but in the secreted fluid Na(+) concentration increased substantially whereas K(+) decreased. Similarly intracellular elemental Na concentration increased and K decreased. Furosemide decreased the secretion rate of the main segment by 80%. The Na(+) concentration in the secreted fluid increased markedly but K(+) was not affected. Intracellular elemental Na concentration also increased but K was unchanged. In the distal segments both ouabain and furosemide decreased secretion rate by 40% but although ouabain had no effect on the composition of the secreted fluid, furosemide caused a substantial reduction in the concentrations of Mg(2+) and Cl(-) and a substantial increase in Na(+) and K(+) concentrations. The evidence suggests that the main segment contains a Na K ATPase and possibly a Na K 2Cl cotransporter whereas the distal segment may contain a Na K ATPase and a furosemide sensitive Mg(2+) transporter. K(+) entry into the cells of the main segment may be partially effected by a Na K 2Cl cotransporter but may be primarily via Na K ATPase in the distal segment. 相似文献

The effects of inhibitors and specific ion-free salines on fluid secretion rates in the distal and main segments showed that there were major differences in secretory mechanisms in the two segments. Both main and distal segments of the Malpighian tubules were sensitive to DIDs, SITS and acetazolamide but in different ways. The evidence suggests that the main segment does not contain a Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger in the basal membrane, whereas the distal segment may do so. Secretion in both segments was K(+) dependent. Ba(2+) markedly reduced fluid secretion by the main segment and K(+) entry into the cells of the main segment is suggested to be predominantly via K(+) channels. Entry of K(+) may be primarily by other routes, such as Na K ATPase, in the distal segment. In the distal segment secretion was highly Mg(2+) dependent. Both segments were sensitive to amiloride analogs suggesting the presence of apical cation/H(+) exchangers. 相似文献

The intracellular elemental concentrations of K, Na, Cl, P, Mg and Ca within Type I cells of the Malpighian tubules of Locusta migratoria have been measured using electron probe X-ray microanalysis. The distribution of Na, K and Cl was not homogeneous within the cells and concentration gradients exist from basal to apical surfaces. The rate of secretion and the cationic composition of the secreted tubule fluid have also been determined. Furosemide (1 mM) inhibited fluid secretion by about 60%, raised the [Na(+)] but did not significantly alter the [K(+)] of the secreted tubule fluid. When Rb(+) replaced K(+) in the saline fluid secretion was also inhibited by about 60%, but no additional inhibition occurred by the simultaneous inclusion of furosemide. Thus, Rb(+) and furosemide probably act at the same transport site, and Rb(+) cannot substitute for K(+) at the basal membrane cotransporter. Bafilomycin (1 μM) dramatically inhibited fluid production by 85%, the [K(+)] of the secreted fluid was reduced by about 30% but the [Na(+)] was almost doubled. Furosemide, in common with other inhibitors of fluid secretion acting at the basal surface (ouabain and Rb(+)), caused a fall in intracellular [K] and a rise in [Na]. Bafilomycin, in common with N-ethyl maleimide, which acts at the apical surface, increased the intracellular [K] but did not affect the [Na]. 相似文献

The differences in second messenger control of secretion were investigated in the distal and main segments of the Malpighian tubules of the black field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus. Secretion by the main segment was considerably increased by corpora cardiaca extract and db-cAMP. Corpora cardiaca had no effect on secreted fluid composition or intracellular elemental composition but db-cAMP increased Na(+) and Cl(-) transport, as measured by x-ray microanalysis of secreted fluids and cells. Secretion by the main segment was considerably increased by forskolin and by Sp-cAMP. Secretion in the distal segment was abolished by corpora cardiaca extract but was unaffected by db-cAMP and only slightly reduced by 8-bromo-cAMP. However, Sp-cAMP increased secretion but forskolin reduced secretion. The responses of the distal segment suggest the possibility of a multiplicity of controls through different protein kinases and adenylyl cyclases. Secretion rate in the main segment was also increased by cGMP but distal segment secretion was unaffected. Secretion from both segments was increased by 5-HT. In the main segment secretion rate was increased by Ca-ionophore and thapsigargin and decreased by verapamil. This suggests a role for Ca(2+) as a controlling second messenger. In the distal segment only Ca-ionophore had an effect on secretion rate, which was reduced. Secretion rates in both segments were decreased in Ca-free saline. In saline in which Sr(2+) replaced Ca(2+), secretion rate in the main segment was greatly increased whilst that of the distal segment was decreased, suggesting that Sr(2+) could substitute for Ca(2+) as a second messenger. 相似文献

The short distal segment of unstimulated Teleogryllus Malpighian tubules secreted hyperosmotic fluid containing primarily Mg (125mmoll(-1)), Cl (242mmoll(-1)) and Na (43mmoll(-1)). Remarkably, the volume secreted by the distal segment in unit time was independent of segment length, i.e. the volume was constant regardless of the length of the segment. Magnesium was secreted at a rate of 75.5pmolmin(-1)mm(-1); the highest rate recorded for any epithelium. Low concentrations of K (20mmoll(-1)) were present but almost no P or S. Ca (2.5mmoll(-1)) concentration was higher than in the main segment. The short distal segment secreted 100% of the Mg, 54% of the Cl and 23% of the Na secreted by the whole tubule. The main segment secreted fluid containing primarily K (199mmoll(-1)), Cl (149mmoll(-1)), Na (104mmoll(-1)) and P (48mmoll(-1)) with very low concentrations of Ca (1mmoll(-1)) and S. The main segment appeared to reabsorb a small fraction of the Mg secreted by the distal segment. The fluid secreted by the whole tubule was isosmotic and alkaline, approximately pH8. 相似文献

Regulation of renal proximal and distal tubule transport: sodium, chloride and organic anions 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Renal tubular transport and its regulation are reviewed for Na(+) (and Cl(-)), and for fluid and organic anions (including urate). Filtered Na(+) (and Cl(-)) is reabsorbed along the tubules but only in mammals and birds does most reabsorption occur in the proximal tubules. Reabsorption involves active transport of Na(+) and passive reabsorption of Cl(-). The active Na(+) step always involves Na-K-ATPase at the basolateral membrane, but the entry step at luminal membrane varies among tubule segments and among vertebrate classes (except for Na(+)-2Cl(-)-K(+) cotransporter in diluting segment). Regulation can involve intrinsic, neural and endocrine factors. Proximal tubule fluid reabsorption is dependent on Na(+) reabsorption in all vertebrates studied, except ophidian reptiles. Fluid secretion occurs in glomerular and aglomerular fishes, reptiles and even mammals, but its significance is not always clear. A non-specific transport system for net secretion of organic anions (OAs) exists in the proximal renal tubules of almost all vertebrates. Net transepithelial secretion involves: (1) transport into the cells at the basolateral side against an electrochemical gradient by a tertiary active transport process, in which the final step involves OA/alpha-ketoglutarate exchange and (2) movement out of the cells across the luminal membrane down an electrochemical gradient by unknown carrier-mediated process(es). Regulation may involve protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Urate is net secreted in the proximal tubules of birds and reptiles. This process is urate-specific in reptiles but in birds, it may involve both a urate-specific system and the general OA system. 相似文献

Insect renal organs typically exhibit high rates of transport of inorganic and organic anions, and therefore provide useful models for the study of epithelial anion transport and its control. Isolated Malpighian tubules of some species secrete a volume of iso-osmotic fluid equal to their own volume in 10-15 s, which means that cellular Cl(-) content is exchanged every 3-5 s. Anion transport can also be achieved against extreme thermodynamic gradients. The concentration of K(+) and Cl(-) in the lumen of the Malpighian tubules of some desert beetles approaches or exceeds saturation. A basolateral Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter plays an important role in vectorial ion transport in Malpighian tubules of many species, but there is also evidence for coupling of Cl(-) transport to the movement of a single cationic species (Na(+) or K(+)). Although an apical vacuolar H(+)-ATPase plays a primary role in energizing transepithelial secretion of chloride via channels or cotransporters in the secretory segment of the Malpighian tubule, several different ATPases have been implicated in reabsorption of Cl(-) by the lower Malpighian tubule or hindgut. Chloride transport is known to be controlled by several neuropeptides, amines and intracellular second messengers. Insect renal epithelia are also important in excretion of potentially toxic organic anions, and the transporters involved may play a role in resistance to insecticides of natural or anthropogenic origin. 相似文献

Iono- and osmoregulation by the blood-feeding hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus involves co-ordinated actions of the upper and lower Malpighian tubules. The upper tubule secretes ions (Na(+), K(+), Cl(-)) and water, whereas the lower tubule reabsorbs K(+) and Cl(-) but not water. The extent of KCl reabsorption by the lower tubule in vitro was monitored by ion-selective microelectrode measurement of Cl(-) and/or K(+) concentration in droplets of fluid secreted by Malpighian tubules isolated under oil. An earlier study proposed that K(+) reabsorption involves an omeprazole-sensitive apical K(+)/H(+) ATPase and Ba(2+)-sensitive basolateral K(+) channels. This paper examines the effects acetazolamide and of compounds that inhibit chloride channels, Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchangers and Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) or K(+)/Cl(-) co-transporters. The results suggest that Cl(-) reabsorption is inhibited by acetazolamide and by Cl(-) channel blockers, including diphenylamine-2-carboxylate(DPC) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB), but not by compounds that block Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) and K(+)/Cl(-) co-transporters. Measurements of transepithelial potential and basolateral membrane potential during changes in bathing saline chloride concentration indicate the presence of DPC- and NPPB-sensitive chloride channels in the basolateral membrane. A working hypothesis of ion movements during KCl reabsorption proposes that Cl(-) moves from lumen to cell through a stilbene-insensitive Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger and then exits the cell through basolateral Cl(-) channels. 相似文献

Amphibians inhabit areas ranging from completely aqueous to terrestrial environments and move between water and land. The kidneys of all anurans are similar at the gross morphological level: the structure of their nephrons is related to habitat. According to the observation by light and electron microscopy, the cells that make up the nephron differ among species. Immunohistochemical studies using antibodies to various ATPases showed a significant species difference depending on habitat. The immunoreactivity for Na+,K(+)-ATPase was low in the proximal tubules but high in the basolateral membranes of early distal tubules to collecting ducts in all species. In the proximal tubule, apical membranes of the cells were slightly immunoreactive to H(+)-ATPase antibody in aquatic species. In the connecting tubule and the collecting duct, the apical membrane of intercalated cells was immunoreactive in all species. In aquatic species, H+,K(+)-ATPase immunoreactivity was observed in cell along the proximal, distal tubule to the collecting duct. However, H+,K(+)-ATPase was present along the intercalated cells of the distal segments from early distal to collecting tubules in terrestrial and semi-aquatic species. In the renal corpuscle, the neck segment and the intermediate segment, immunoreactivities to ion pumps were not observed in any of the species examined. Taking together our observations, we conclude that in the aquatic species, a large volume of plasma must be filtered in a large glomerulus and the ultrafiltrate components are reabsorbed along a large and long proximal segment of the nephron. Control of tubular transport may be poorly developed when a small short distal segment of the nephron is observed. On the contrary, terrestrial species have a long and well-developed distal segment and regulation mechanisms of tubular transport may have evolved in these segments. Thus, the development of the late distal segments of the nephron is one of the important factors for the terrestrial adaptation. 相似文献

Characteristics of ion and fluid secretion were investigated in isolated Malpighian tubules of the New Zealand Alpine Weta (Hemideina maori). Fluid secretion by tubules in iso-osmotic saline (500mOsm) occurred at a rate of 15+/-3nlh(-1) and was enriched in K(+) (approx. 125mmoll(-1)) relative to the saline (10mmoll(-1)). Maximal fluid secretion (112nlh(-1)) during simultaneous exposure to hypo-osmolality and dibutyryl cAMP resulted in an 8.8x increase in the quantity of K(+) secreted, compared to only a 2.4x increase in Na(+) secretion. Measurements of intracellular ion activities and membrane potentials indicated that Na(+) and K(+) were transported against a strong electrochemical gradient across the apical surface, regardless of saline osmolality. On the basolateral surface, there was a large driving force for Na(+) entry, while K(+) was distributed near its equilibrium potential. Neither bumetanide nor ouabain in the bathing saline had a significant effect on fluid secretion, but Ba(2+) and amiloride decreased fluid secretion by 79 and 57%, respectively. The effect of Ba(2+) on fluid secretion was consistent with a high basolateral permeability to K(+), relative to Na(+) and Cl(-). These results indicate that the characteristics of fluid secretion in this primitive insect are largely conserved with characteristics reported for other insects. 相似文献

The effects of changes in the salinity of the rearing medium on Malpighian tubule fluid secretion and ion transport were examined in larvae of the freshwater mosquito Aedes aegypti and the saltwater species Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus. For unstimulated tubules of both species, the K(+) concentration of secreted fluid was significantly lower when larvae were reared in 30% or 100% seawater (O. taeniorhynchus only), relative to tubules from freshwater-reared larvae. The Na(+) concentration of secreted fluid from unstimulated tubules of O. taeniorhynchus reared in 30% or 100% seawater was higher relative to tubules from freshwater-reared larvae. The results suggest that changes in salinity of the larval rearing medium lead to sustained changes in ion transport mechanisms in unstimulated tubules. Furthermore, alterations of K(+) transport may be utilized to either conserve Na(+) under freshwater (Na(+)-deprived) conditions or eliminate more Na(+) in saline (Na(+)-rich) conditions. The secretagogues cyclic AMP [cAMP], cyclic GMP [cGMP], leucokinin-VIII, and thapsigargin stimulated fluid secretion by tubules of both species. Cyclic AMP increased K(+) concentration and decreased Na(+) concentration in the fluid secreted by tubules isolated from O. taeniorhynchus larvae reared in 100% seawater. Interactions between rearing salinity and cGMP actions were similar to those for cAMP. Leucokinin-VIII and thapsigargin had no effect on secreted fluid Na(+) or K(+) concentrations. Results indicate that changes in rearing medium salinity affect the nature and extent of stimulation of fluid and ion secretion by secretagogues. 相似文献

Previous studies of the Malpighian tubules of Rhodnius reported lumen-negative values of transepithelial potential (TEP), and a characteristic triphasic change in TEP in response to stimulation of tubule fluid secretion by serotonin. TEP was measured using the Ramsay technique, in which electrodes are positioned in bathing and secreted fluid droplets for tubules isolated under paraffin oil. The validity of this method of TEP measurement has been questioned on the grounds that, in tubules of some species, it may permit shunting of current from lumen to bath through the cells or through the thin layer of fluid adherent to the surface of that portion of the tubule in the oil. The triphasic response of TEP to serotonin has been confirmed in this study of tubules of fifth instar Rhodnius prolixus using two different techniques that eliminate the possibility of shunting artefacts. From an initially negative value in unstimulated tubules ( approximately -25 mV, lumen-negative), TEP shifted to approximately -33 mV in phase 1, approximately +30 mV in phase 2 and approximately -32 mV in phase 3. TEP during each phase was similar irrespective of the measurement technique. Ion substitution experiments and the effects of specific pharmacological reagents support the proposal that the three phases of the response of TEP to serotonin correspond to sequential activation of an apical Cl(-) channel, an apical V-type H(+) ATPase and a basolateral Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter. 相似文献

The effect of uroguanylin (UGN) on K+ and H+ secretion in the renal tubules of the rat kidney was studied using in vivo stationary microperfusion. For the study of K+ secretion, a tubule was punctured to inject a column of FDC-green-colored Ringer's solution with 0.5 mmol KCl/L+/-10(-6) mol UGN/L, and oil was used to block fluid flow. K+ activity and transepithelial potential differences (PD) were measured with double microelectrodes (K+ ion-selective resin vs. reference) in the distal tubules of the same nephron. During perfusion, K+ activity rose exponentially, from 0.5 mmol/L to stationary concentration, allowing for the calculation of K+ secretion (JK). JK increased from 0.63+/-0.06 nmol.cm-2.s-1 in the control group to 0.85+/-0.06 in the UGN group (p<0.01). PD was -51.0+/-5.3 mV in the control group and -50.3+/-4.98 mV in the UGN group. In the presence of 10(-7) mol iberiotoxin/L, the UGN effect was abolished: JK was 0.37+/-0.038 nmol.cm-2.s-1 in the absence of, and 0.38+/-0.025 in the presence of, UGN, indicating its action on maxi-K channels. In another series of experiments, renal tubule acidification was studied, using a similar method: proximal and distal tubules were perfused with solutions containing 25 mmol NaHCO3/L. Acidification half-time was increased both in proximal and distal segments and, as a consequence, bicarbonate reabsorption decreased in the presence of UGN (in proximal tubules, from 2.40+/-0.26 to 1.56+/-0.21 nmol.cm-2.s-1). When the Na+/H+ exchanger was inhibited by 10(-4) mol hexamethylene amiloride (HMA)/L, the control and UGN groups were not significantly different. In the late distal tubule, after HMA, UGN significantly reduced JHCO3-, indicating an effect of UGN on H+-ATPase. These data show that UGN stimulated JK+ by acting on maxi-K channels, and decreased JHCO3- by acting on NHE3 in proximal and H+-ATPase in distal tubules. 相似文献

Haemolymph calcium homeostasis in insects is achieved through the regulation of calcium excretion by Malpighian tubules in two ways: (1) sequestration of calcium within biomineralized granules and (2) secretion of calcium in soluble form within the primary urine. Using the scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET), basolateral Ca2+ transport was measured at the distal, transitional, main and proximal tubular segments of anterior tubules isolated from both 3rd instar larvae and adults of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Basolateral Ca2+ transport exceeded transepithelial secretion by 800-fold and 11-fold in anterior tubules of larvae and adults, respectively. The magnitude of Ca2+ fluxes across the distal tubule of larvae and adults were larger than fluxes across the downstream segments by 10 and 40 times, respectively, indicating a dominant role for the distal segment in whole animal Ca2+ regulation. Basolateral Ca2+ transport across distal tubules of Drosophila varied throughout the life cycle; Ca2+ was released by distal tubules of larvae, taken up by distal tubules of young adults and was released once again by tubules of adults ⩾168 h post-eclosion. In adults and larvae, SIET measurements revealed sites of both Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ release across the basolateral surface of the distal segment of the same tubule, indicating that Ca2+ transport is bidirectional. Ca2+ uptake across the distal segment of tubules of young adults and Ca2+ release across the distal segment of tubules of older adults was also suggestive of reversible Ca2+ storage. Our results suggest that the distal tubules of D. melanogaster are dynamic calcium stores which allow efficient haemolymph calcium regulation through active Ca2+ sequestration during periods of high dietary calcium intake and passive Ca2+ release during periods of calcium deficiency. 相似文献

Transepithelial secretion in Malpighian tubules of the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is mediated by active transport of Na(+) and K(+) through principal cells and passive Cl(-) transport through the shunt. Permeation through the shunt was assessed by measuring transepithelial halide diffusion potentials in isolated perfused Malpighian tubules, after first inhibiting active transport with dinitrophenol. Diffusion potentials were small under control conditions, revealing Eisenman selectivity sequence I (I(-)>Br(-)>Cl(-)>F(-)) which is the halide mobility sequence in free solution. Accordingly, electrical field strengths of the shunt are small, selecting halides for passage on the basis of hydrated size. Leucokinin-VIII (LK-VIII) significantly increased the shunt conductance from 57.1 μS/cm to 250.0 μS/cm. In parallel, the shunt selectivity sequence shifted to Eisenman sequence III (Br(-)>Cl(-)>I(-)>F(-)), revealing increased electrical field strengths in the shunt, now capable of selecting small, dehydrated halides for passage. High concentrations of peritubular F(-) (142.5 mM) duplicated the effects of LK-VIII on shunt conductance and selectivity, suggesting a role for G-protein. In the presence of LK-VIII (or F(-)), coulombic interactions between the shunt and I(-) and F(-) may be strong enough to cause binding, thereby blocking the passage of Cl(-). Thus, LK-VIII increases both shunt conductance and selectivity, presumably via G-protein. 相似文献

Potassium channels along the nephron 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The K+ channels that are present in three different nephron segments, the Necturus proximal, Amphiuma early distal (diluting segment), and rabbit collecting tubule have been examined. Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels were present in the apical membranes of the cells lining all these segments. The channels were all voltage-sensitive and their open probability increased with membrane depolarization. Because of the ubiquitous distribution, it is suggested that this channel is responsible for K+ secretion by the nephron and that the same intracellular regulators act throughout the various segments. Basolateral K+ channels have been examined only in Necturus proximal tubules. This channel is apparently insensitive to Ca2+; the voltage dependence is exactly opposite to that of the apical K+ channels; that is, hyperpolarizing potentials caused an increase in open probability. These differences in regulatory factors permit the independent regulation of apical and basolateral membrane K+ permeabilities that must occur in renal cells. 相似文献

We have previously shown that neonate rabbit tubules have a lower chloride permeability but comparable mannitol permeability compared with adult proximal tubules. The surprising finding of lower chloride permeability in neonate proximals compared with adults impacts net chloride transport in this segment, which reabsorbs 60% of the filtered chloride in adults. However, this maturational difference in chloride permeability may not be applicable to other species. The present in vitro microperfusion study directly examined the chloride and mannitol permeability using in vitro perfused rat proximal tubules during postnatal maturation. Whereas there was no maturational change in mannitol permeability, chloride permeability was 6.3 +/- 1.3 x 10(-5) cm/s in neonate rat proximal convoluted tubule and 16.1 +/- 2.3 x 10(-5) cm/s in adult rat proximal convoluted tubule (P < 0.01). There was also a maturational increase in chloride permeability in the rat proximal straight tubule (5.1 +/- 0.6 x 10(-5) cm/s vs. 9.3 +/- 0.6 x 10(-5) cm/s, P < 0.01). There was no maturational change in bicarbonate-to-chloride permeabilities (P(HCO3)/P(Cl)) in the rat proximal straight tubules (PST) and proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) or in the sodium-to-chloride permeability (P(Na)/P(Cl)) in the proximal straight tubule; however, there was a significant maturational decrease in proximal convoluted tubule P(Na)/P(Cl) with postnatal development (1.31 +/- 0.12 in neonates vs. 0.75 +/- 0.06 in adults, P < 0.001). There was no difference in the transepithelial resistance measured by current injection and cable analysis in the PCT, but there was a maturational decrease in the PST (7.2 +/- 0.8 vs. 4.6 +/- 0.1 ohms x cm2, P < 0.05). These studies demonstrate there are maturational changes in the rat paracellular pathway that impact net NaCl transport during development. 相似文献

cAMP induces both active Cl(-) and active K(+) secretion in mammalian colon. It is generally assumed that a mechanism for K(+) exit is essential to maintain cells in the hyperpolarized state, thus favoring a sustained Cl(-) secretion. Both Kcnn4c and Kcnma1 channels are located in colon, and this study addressed the questions of whether Kcnn4c and/or Kcnma1 channels mediate cAMP-induced K(+) secretion and whether cAMP-induced K(+) secretion provides the driving force for Cl(-) secretion. Forskolin (FSK)-enhanced short-circuit current (indicator of net electrogenic ion transport) and K(+) fluxes were measured simultaneously in colonic mucosa under voltage-clamp conditions. Mucosal Na(+) orthovanadate (P-type ATPase inhibitor) inhibited active K(+) absorption normally present in rat distal colon. In the presence of mucosal Na(+) orthovanadate, serosal FSK induced both K(+) and Cl(-) secretion. FSK-induced K(+) secretion was 1) not inhibited by either mucosal or serosal 1-[(2-chlorophenyl) diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole (TRAM-34; a Kcnn4 channel blocker), 2) inhibited (92%) by mucosal iberiotoxin (Kcnma1 channel blocker), and 3) not affected by mucosal cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator inhibitor (CFTR(inh)-172). By contrast, FSK-induced Cl(-) secretion was 1) completely inhibited by serosal TRAM-34, 2) not inhibited by either mucosal or serosal iberiotoxin, and 3) completely inhibited by mucosal CFTR(inh)-172. These results indicate that cAMP-induced colonic K(+) secretion is mediated via Kcnma1 channels located in the apical membrane and most likely contributes to stool K(+) losses in secretory diarrhea. On the other hand, cAMP-induced colonic Cl(-) secretion requires the activity of Kcnn4b channels located in the basolateral membrane and is not dependent on the concurrent activation of apical Kcnma1 channels. 相似文献
