Chloride secretion in response to guanylin in colonic epithelial from normal and transgenic cystic fibrosis mice

British Journal of Pharmacology

Abstract

1. Guanylin, a 15 amino acid endogenous gut peptide, increased the short circuit current (SCC) in the epithelium of the mouse colon, but only when applied to the apical and not the basolateral surface. 2. By use of selective blockers of epithelial ion transport and modification of the bathing solution, it was concluded that guanylin increased electrogenic chloride secretion but also had a minor effect on electrogenic sodium absorption. In addition there were small residual currents which remained unresolved. 3. The threshold concentration of guanylin causing a SCC increase was less than 50 nM, but at concentrations 40 times greater no indication of a maximally effective concentration was found. 4. Two guanylin isomers with the same amino acid sequence but with the disulphide bridges joined in an alternate fashion showed no activity. Thus only guanylin with the greatest structural homology to heat stable enterotoxin (STa) showed biological activity. 5. The action of guanylin was virtually eliminated in colonic epithelia from transgenic cystic fibrosis (CF) mice. As these animals lack the chloride channel coded by the CF gene sequence, it is likely that the final effector process in murine colonic epithelia involves the CFTR (cys...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
