Membrane site of action of CO2 on colonic sodium absorption

The American Journal of Physiology
A N Charney, R W Egnor

Abstract

Increases in ambient CO2 tension increase colonic sodium absorption by increasing mucosal to serosal sodium flux. We examined the membrane site of CO2 action by utilizing the polyene antibiotic nystatin to create aqueous pores in the apical membrane. Under these conditions, the basolateral rather than the apical membrane is rate limiting for sodium absorption. Pairs of stripped rat distal colonic segments were mounted in modified Ussing chambers in a Ringer-HCO3 solution gassed with either 3% CO2-97% O2 or 11% CO2-89% O2. Mucosal-to-serosal 22Na and 36Cl fluxes were measured under short-circuited conditions, and ouabain-sensitive absorption was calculated before and after the addition of mucosal nystatin 300 U/ml. Ouabain-sensitive sodium absorption was fivefold greater at 11% CO2 than at 3% CO2 before nystatin addition. Nystatin increased short-circuit current (Isc), transcolonic conductance (Gt) and ouabain-sensitive sodium absorption at 3% CO2 but only increased Isc and Gt at 11% CO2. The levels of sodium absorption at 3% and 11% CO2 after nystatin were equal and identical to the level measured at 11% CO2 in the absence of nystatin. Ouabain-sensitive chloride absorption was similar at 3% and 11% CO2 in the absence of nystati...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.
