Abstract
Once thought to be exclusively an absorptive tissue, the intestine is now recognized as an important secretory tissue, playing a key role in body ion and fluid homeostasis. Given the intestine's role in fluid homeostasis, it is not surprising that important clinical pathologies arise from imbalances in fluid absorption and secretion. Perhaps the most important examples of this can be seen in enterotoxigenic secretory diarrheas with extreme fluid secretion, and Cystic Fibrosis with little or no fluid secretion. A mechanistic understanding of the cellular pathways regulating ion and fluid transport has been obtained from a variety of approaches and model systems. These have ranged from the intact intestine to a single intestinal epithelial cell type. Although for many years a reductionist approach has held sway for investigating intestinal transport, the growing realization that physiologic processes should really be examined within a physiological context has seen a marked increase in studies using models that are essentially mini-intestines in a dish. The aim of this chapter is to provide a historical context for our understanding of intestinal ion and fluid transport, and to highlight the model systems that have been used to acquire this knowledge.

Abstract
Electrolyte transporters located in the basolateral membrane of the colonic epithelium are increasingly appreciated as elaborately regulated components of specific transport functions and cellular homeostasis: During electrolyte absorption, Na(+) /K(+) ATPase, Cl⁻ conductance, Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchange, K(+) /Cl⁻ cotransport and K(+) channels are candidates for basolateral Na(+) , Cl⁻ and K(+) extrusion. The process of colonic anion secretion involves basolateral Na(+) /K(+) /2Cl⁻ , and probably also Na(+) /HCO₃⁻ cotransport, as well as Na(+) /K(+) ATPase and K(+) channels to supply substrate, stabilize the membrane potential and generate driving force respectively. Together with a multitude of additional transport systems, Na(+) /H(+) exchange and Na(+) /HCO₃⁻ cotransport have been implicated in colonocyte pH(i) and volume homeostasis. The purpose of this article is to summarize recently gathered information on the molecular identity, function and regulation of the involved basolateral transport systems in native tissue. Furthermore, we discuss how these findings can help to integrate these systems into the transport function and the cellular homoeostasis of colonic epithelial cells. Finally, disturbances of basolateral electrolyte transport during disease states such as mucosal inflammation will be reviewed.

Abstract
Diarrhea is the hallmark of both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease. Loss of resorptive area, destruction of epithelial cells, leaky tight junctions, and release of inflammatory mediators and products from immune cells that stimulate fluid secretion all have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diarrhea. Very early studies in patients, however, have pinpointed the overwhelming transport abnormality in inflamed intestinal mucosa: a virtually complete loss of sodium resorptive capacity. Recently, tools have become available to study the molecular basis of disturbances in the major electrolyte transport systems during intestinal inflammation. This review gives a brief overview of the historical development of research related to electrolyte transport in inflammatory bowel disorders, focusing on the studies performed in humans, and highlights recent understanding of the molecular mechanisms that may help explain the origin of diarrhea in intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
This chapter has focused on two types of chloride conductance found in epithelial cells. The leap from the Ussing chamber to patch-clamp studies has identified yet other conductances present which have also been electrophysiologically characterized. In the case of the swelling activated wholecell chloride current, a physiological function is apparent and a single-channel basis found, but its genetic identity remains unknown (see reviews by Frizzell and Morris, 1994; and Strange et al., 1996). The outwardly rectified chloride channel has been the subject of considerable electrophysiological interest over the past 10 years and is well characterized at the single-channel level, but its physiological function remains controversial (reviewed by Frizzell and Morris, 1994; Devidas and Guggino, 1997). Yet other conductances related to the CLC gene family also appear to be present in epithelial cells of the kidney (reviewed by Jentsch, 1996; Jentsch and Gunter, 1997) where physiological functions for some isoforms are emerging. Clearly, there remain many unknowns. Chief among these is the molecular basis of GCa2+Cl and many of other the conductances. As sequences become available it is expected that the wealth of information gained by investigation into CFTR function will provide a conceptual blueprint for similar studies in these later channel clones.

Abstract
Rice gruels have been used as home remedies to treat dehydration associated with diarrheal illness in developing countries. These preparations have produced conflicting results, most likely due to the heterogeneity of starch used. We investigated whether the modified tapioca starch, Textra (TX), at 5.0 or 10.0 g/L added to a 90 mmol/L Na+-111 mmol glucose oral rehydration solution (ORS) enhanced water and electrolyte absorption in two models of diarrhea. To induce a secretory state (model A), the jejunum of juvenile rats was perfused with 10 mmol/L theophylline (THEO) under anesthesia and then perfused with the solutions indicated above. To produce chronic osmotic-secretory diarrhea (model B), rats had a magnesium citrate-phenolphthalein solution as the sole fluid source for 1 wk, and then were perfused as the THEO-treated rats. Water, electrolyte, and glucose absorption were measured during both perfusions. As an extension of the perfusion studies, we compared how fast rats recovered from chronic osmotic diarrhea by offering them either water, ORS, or ORS containing 5.0 g/L TX along with solid food. Recovery rate markers were measured after 24 h and included weight gain, food and fluid intake, and stool output. In model A, addition of 5.0 g/L TX to ORS reversed Na+ secretion and improved net water as well as K+ and glucose absorption, compared with THEO-treated rats perfused with ORS without TX. In model B, addition of TX to ORS increased water, Na+, K+, and glucose absorption, compared with rats perfused without TX. Increasing TX from 5.0 to 10.0 g/L had no additional benefit. In recovery experiments, animals with free access to ORS with TX had significantly greater weight gain and decreased stool output compared with animals recovering with water or ORS without TX. Our experiments suggest that TX may be a useful additive to standard ORS to promote fluid and electrolyte absorption and may provide additional energy without increasing ORS osmotic load.

Abstract
The effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) vs. i.v. administration of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on net fluxes of water, Na+, and K+ through a jejunal Thiry-Vella loop were investigated before or after previous treatment with adrenergic blockers, indomethacin, and 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB8) in conscious dogs. Administered intracerebroventricularly at doses of 20-100 ng/kg, PGE2 significantly reduced (p less than 0.01), in a dose-related manner, the net fluxes of water, Na+, and K+, which were reversed from an absorption to a secretion. Intravenously administered PGE2 at a five times higher dosage failed to significantly alter net water and electrolyte fluxes. Phentolamine (0.2 mg/kg body wt) and tolazoline (2 mg/kg body wt) administered intravenously abolished the secretory effects of centrally administered PGE2 (50 ng/kg). However, 10 times lower dosages of phentolamine and tolazoline administered intracerebroventricularly did not prevent the PGE2-induced secretion of water and electrolytes. Intracerebroventricular administration of indomethacin (10 micrograms/kg body wt) and TMB8 (1 microgram/kg body wt), did not modify the effect of i.c.v.-administered PGE2; however, indomethacin administered intracerebroventricularly alone stimulated water and electrolyte absorption. None of these treatments results in a significant (p greater than 0.05) change in mean transit time through the Thiry-Vella loop. We conclude that centrally administered PGE2 influences jejunal water, Na+, and K+ absorption, through a mechanism related to adrenergic innervation and/or involving at least alpha 2-adrenoceptors. The results also suggest that PGE2 in the central nervous system controls jejunal water and ion transport in the dog.

Abstract
Serosal addition of adenosine after inhibition of adenosine deaminase with deoxycoformycin increases short-circuit current (Isc) and tissue conductance of isolated epithelia of rabbit descending colon. In the presence of Cl this increase in Isc results from a reversal of electrically neutral Cl absorption to rheogenic Cl secretion. When Cl is absent the stimulating effect of adenosine on Isc is reduced to one-third and appears to be brought about by HCO3 secretion. Under all conditions active Na transport remains unaltered. Adenosine-induced electrolyte secretion is markedly decreased by serosal addition of furosemide and depends on the presence of Na on the serosal side of the tissue. The stoichiometry of the interaction of Na and Cl with the basolateral Cl entry mechanism appears to be 1:1. Under Na-free conditions adenosine elicits a current transient which is carried by Cl ions and which is not inhibited by furosemide. Hence this current transient seems to be brought about by rheogenic apical Cl efflux. All these findings suggest that the conductive step in transepithelial Cl secretion resides in the apical membrane. Hyperpolarization of the Na-transporting cells by luminal addition of amiloride does not enhance electrolyte secretion. The site of action of adenosine is the extracellular surface of the basolateral membrane, because (a) luminal addition of adenosine is ineffective, (b) nitrobenzylmercaptopurineriboside, a blocker of cellular nucleoside uptake, augments the effect of serosal adenosine, and (c) the intracellular metabolites of adenosine do not mediate the effect. From the rank-order of potency of adenosine and its analogues 5'-N-ethylcarboxamide adenosine and N6-cyclohexyladenosine it is concluded that the adenosine receptors involved in electrolyte secretion are of the Ra subtype. Theophylline partially inhibits the secretory effect. The intracellular mediator of adenosine appears to be cyclic AMP and/or cyclic GMP, since the tissue levels of both compounds are rapidly elevated after addition of adenosine and both cyclic AMP and cyclic 8-bromo-GMP are able to mimic the adenosine action.

Abstract
Cholera enterotoxin (CT), at an optimal concentration of 2.38 X 10(-10) M, stimulated calcium uptake (P less than 0.01) and cyclic AMP accumulation (P less than 0.02) in cultured rat basophilic leukemia cells. No significant effect of CT on calcium release or cyclic GMP accumulation was detected. Pharmacologic and chemical agents which block calcium uptake or prostaglandin synthesis antagonized the effect of CT.

Abstract
Freshly isolated chicken intestinal cells contain approximately 20 pmol adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)/mg cellular protein. Incubation with 3 micrograms/ml cholera toxin (CT) at 37 degrees C induces an elevation of cellular cAMP beginning 10-15 min after initial exposure. The response is linear with time for 40-50 min and causes a six- to eightfold increase over control levels at steady state. Dibutyryl cAMP and agents that increase cAMP production inhibit Na+ influx into the isolated enterocytes. Chlorpromazine completely abolishes the toxin-induced elevation of cAMP in the isolated cells and also reverses the effect on Na+ entry. The data provide evidence for a cAMP-mediated control of intestinal cell Na+ uptake, which may represent the mechanistic basis for the antiabsorptive effect of CT on Na+ during induction of intestinal secretory activity. Studies on the time-dependent effects of chlorpromazine on both intracellular cAMP concentration and Na+ influx suggest that the reactivation of the Na+ transport system after cAMP-induced inhibition is slow relative to the disappearance of cAMP.

Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, catecholamines and prostaglandin E1 stimulate the accumulation of cyclic AMP in HT 29 cells (see Laburthe, M. et al. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 75, 2772-2775). In the present work maximal activation of protein kinases has been obtained at similar or even lower concentrations of the effectors. Maximal stimulation also requires a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Type I and type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases from basal and stimulated cells have been characterized by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. Further identidication of the kinase has been carried out by gel electrophoresis and assay of the enzymes in the gel slabs. Comparison of the radioautography patterns of high speed supernatant lysate from basal and stimulated cells shows: First, that one type I and two type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases plus one or two major and two minor cyclic AMP-independent protein kinases are present in HT 29 cells. Second, that all three holoenzymes are fully dissociated upon maximal stimulation, while the activity of the independent kinases appears unchanged.

Abstract
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increased the potential difference (PD) and shortcircuit current (SCC) across the small intestine of the bullfrog. This effect was independent of those produced by amiloride or high calcium but was masked by a theophylline-induced effect. Net active sodium (Na+) absorption accounted for the observed electrical changes.

Abstract
A vasoactive intestinal peptide-sensitive adenylate cyclase in intestinal epithelial cell membranes was characterized. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity was a function of vasoactive intestinal peptide concentration over a range of 1 . 10(-10)-1 . 10(-7) M and was increased six-times by a maximally stimulating concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide. Half-maximal stimulation was observed with 4.1 +/- 0.7 nM vasoactive intestinal peptide. Fluoride ion stimulated adenylate cyclase activity to a higher extent than did vasoactive intestinal peptide. Under standard assay conditions, basal, vasoactive intestinal peptide- and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were proportional to time of incubation up to 15 min and to membrane concentration up to 60 microgram protein per assay. The vasoactive intestinal peptide-sensitive enzyme required 5-10 mM Mg2+ and was inhibited by 1 . 10(-5) M Ca2+. At sufficiently high concentrations, both ATP (3 mM) and Mg2+ (40 mM) inhibited the enzyme. Secretin also stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity from intestinal epithelial cell membranes but its effectiveness was 1/1000 that of vasoactive intestinal peptide. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 at 1 . 10(-5) M induced a two-fold increase of cyclic AMP production. Vasoactive intestinal peptide was the most potent stimulator of adenylate cyclase activity, suggesting an important physiological role of this peptide in the cyclic AMP-dependent regulation of the intestinal epithelial cell function.

Abstract
Intestinal absorption of ascorbic acid is believed to be mediated through a sodium-dependent active transport process in man and in the guinea pig, both species having a nutritional requirement for the vitamin. Vitamin C transport was studied in man and in the guinea pig by in vivo intestinal perfusion of concentrations of vitamin C ranging from physiologic to clearly pharmacologic levels. Triple lumen intestinal perfusion of seven human volunteers with vitamin C concentrations ranging from 0.85 to 11.36 mM demonstrated saturation kinetics of absorption with a Km = 5.44 mM. Net secretion of water was observed in three of seven humans with the highest (11.36 mM) concentration of vitamin C. Perfusion of isolated segments of guinea pig intestines with intact blood supply also revealed saturation kinetics (Km = 5.54 mM) in the range of 1.42 to 56.8 mM vitamin C but linear absorption below this range. The phenomenon of decreased water absorption noted with incremental vitamin C dose in human volunteers could not be reproduced in the guinea pig, nor were the intestinal tissue levels of cyclic AMP and GMP increased by high-dose vitamin C in this species. This study suggests that "megavitamin" doses of vitamin C (greater than 1 Gm) are probably not as efficiently absorbed as smaller multiple doses of the vitamin. Intestinal secretion of water may contribute to the diarrhea which is the most common side effect of large doses of vitamin C. The guinea pig is a useful but limited model for vitamin C absorption in man.

Abstract
The level of cyclic AMP in the jejunal mucosa from tied loops of anaesthetized rats was found to be significantly increased (27-50%) when sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) was added to the loop fluid (2-27 mM). Imidazole (25 mM) did not significantly alter the resting level of cyclic AMP, but reduced the increase caused by SLS (17 mM). Theophylline (25 mM) significantly increased the intestinal level of cyclic AMP, and potentiated the increase caused by SLS. Ouabain (2.5 mM) did not alter the level of cyclic AMP in the presence or in the absence of SLS. The results of previous experiments on the increases in intestinal absorption caused by SLS or by dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Briseid et al., 1974, 1976) are discussed in light of the present data. It is concluded that the SLS-effect on absorption can only partly by ascribed to its effect on the intestinal level of cyclic AMP.

Abstract
Short chain fatty acids suddenly produce a phasic increase in transmural electrical potential difference (PD) when placed in the lumen of rat small intestine in vivo. With concentrations of propionate ranging from 50 muM to 1000 muM the amplitude of the response in jejunum is about 5.5 mV. The concentration giving half this effect is about 20 muM. With 10 mM propionate the duration of the response is 3-5 min; after this, PD again equals the control value and the gut is refractory to further additions. Removing propionate from the mucosal surface produces no change in PD, but does restore responsiveness to subsequent exposure to short chain fatty acids. This effect is independent of a variety of other alterations in PD such as those caused by sugars, amino acids, bile salts, theophylline, prostaglandins, and ATP. Mechanism and significance of this surprisingly sensitive response remain obscure.

Abstract
The increases in the absorption of ouabain, phenolsulphonphthalein and pralidoxime caused by 17 mM sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) from jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were significantly reduced if sodium and chloride (Briseid et al., 1974) or chloride and bicarbonate were replaced by other ions in the loop fluid. Separate substitutions of sodium, chloride of bicarbonate did not significantly alter the SLS-caused absorption, except that the substitution of choline for sodium reduced the absorption of pralidoxime, both in the presence and in the absence of SLS. The increases in the absorption of phenolsulphonphthalein and pralidoxime caused by SLS were potentiated by theophylline (25 mM) and reduced by imidazole (25 mM). The addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (2.5 mM) to the loop fluid increased this absorption of the test substances. This effect was reduced by imidazole, but under the experimental conditions it was not potentiated by theophylline. Determinations of cyclic AMP in the rat intestinal mucosa showed that the level of this substance was significantly higher in the presence than in the absence of SLS. The experimental conditions were as described for the absorption experiments. It is concluded that the data obtained support the idea of an increased level of cyclic AMP as the main basis for the effect of SLS on the absorption.

Abstract
The use of antibodies to specific cell surface proteins or to ligands which interact with cell surface receptors is a powerful tool for analyzing the properties of membrane proteins and the consequences of specific cell surface ligand-receptor interactions. Two central observations concerning membrane structure and function, - the diffusibility of membrane proteins (1) and ligand-triggered modulation of specific receptors (2), have derived from the use of antibodies to analyze the properties of membrane proteins. In our study of the mechanism of action of cholera toxin, a protein which binds to a specific cell surface receptor and results in the activation of adenyl cyclase, considerable information has been gained through the use of immunological techniques. This review will briefly summarize the data underlying our current concept of cholera toxin action at the cell membrane and will emphasize those observations made through the use of immunological approaches.

Abstract
The effect of prostaglandins, isoprenaline and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dibut cAMP) on the net transfer of water and Na+ and glucose absorption have been studied in the anaesthetized rat. The lumen of the jejunum was recirculated with a solution of normal saline containing D (+) glucose and phenosulphonphthalein. The superior mesenteric artery was perfused extracorporeally and drugs were infused into the arterial blood. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) at infusion rates of 2-5 X 10(-9) and 10(-8) mol/min induced a net secretion of water and Na+ which was significantly different from the infused control mean. Both water and Na+ secretion were dose-related. PGE1 induced slight but significant inhibition of glucose absorption at 10(-8) mol/min. This could either be a direct effect or secondary to solvent drag. PGE2 (2-5 X 10(-9) mol/min) and PGF2alpha (8 X 10(-9) mol/min) induced water and Na+ secretion, and inhibited glucose absorption but not significantly. Isoprenaline (10(-9) mol/min) and dibut cAMP (8 X 10(-9) mol/min) did not alter water, Na+ or glucose absorption.

Abstract
Activation of adenylate [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] by cholera toxin (84,000 daltons, 5.5 S) is demonstrated in plasma membrane fragments of mouse ascites cancer cells. The activation of adenylate cyclase is mediated by a macromolecular cyclase activating factor (MCAF), which has a sedimentation constant of 2.7 S and a molecular weight of about 26,000. MCAF is derived from, and may be identical to the "A fragment" of cholera toxin. Generation of MCAF depends on prior interaction of cholera toxin with either dithiothreitol, NADH, NAD, or a low-molecular-weight component (less than 700 daltons) present in cytoplasm. Subsequent exposure of this pretreated cholera toxin to cell membranes from a variety of mouse ascites cancer cells is followed rapidly by the appearance of MCAF, which no longer requires dithiothreitol, NADH, or NAD for the activation of adenylate cyclase. Activation of adenylate cyclase by MCAF in ascites cancer cell membrane fragments is not reversed by repeated washing of these membrane fragments. Adenylate cyclase in normal cell membrane fragments fails to respond either to cholera toxin or MCAF in the presence of dithiothreitol. In striking contrast, the adenylate cyclase in membrane fragments from five ascites cancer cells responds to either MCAF or native cholera toxin preincubated with dithiothreitol, NADH, or NAD.

Abstract
1. The production of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and corticosterone isolated ratadrenal cells was increased by cholera enterotoxin. Both responses were accompanied by a lag period which is characteristic of other known actions of enterotoxin. The duration of the lag period in the production of corticosterone depended on the concentration of enterotoxin; with the maximally stimulating amounts it was 30-45 min. 2. Maximum rates of cyclic AMP and corticosterone synthesis, after the lag period, were constant for at least 1 h. Although the maximum rate of corticosterone formation was the same as that obtained adrenocorticotropic hormone, the maximum rate of cyclic AMP formation was only 8-10% of that with adrenocorticotropic hormone. 3. Pretreatment of the cells with enterotoxin ahd no effect on their subsequent steroidogenic response to maximally stimulating amounts of adrenocorticotropic hormone. 4. Cycloheximide inhibited the effect of both enterotoxin and adrenocorticotropic hormone on corticosterone production. 5. Enterotoxin stimulation of both cyclic AMP and corticosterone formation was dependent on the presence of Ca2+ in the medium although the Ca2+ requirement was not same as that for adrenocorticotropic hormone. Thus, EGTA at concentrations which completely abolished the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone caused only a partial reduction in the effects of enterotoxin. 6. Exogenously added choleragenoid and gangliosides abolished the effects of enterotoxin without having any significant effect on the response of the cells to adrenocorticotropic hormone. 7. After treatment with neuraminidase, the adrenal cells showed an increased response to enterotoxin in terms of both cyclic AMP and corticosterone formation which was due to a combination of two effects: (a) increased rate of synthesis of both compounds and (b) shortening of the characteristic lag period. This is in sharp contrast to the results obtained with adrenocorticotropic hormone where neuraminidase-treatment made the cells less sensitive to adrenocorticotropic hormone.

Abstract
Primary cultures of mouse adrenocortical tumors provide a sensitive system for investigating the effects of the enterotoxin of the V. cholerae (choleragen) on cyclic-AMP metabolism in the intact cell. Like ACTH, the toxin stimulates the synthesis and release of steroids from these cells but its mode of action differs from that of ACTH. The steroidogenic response to ACTH is immediate and of limited duration. The initial rate of steroidogenesis is the highest. In contrast, the steroidogenic response to choleragen is preceded by a 30-240 minute lag period which is inversely related to the concentration of the toxin. Whereas prolongation of the response to a single dose of ACTH requires hormone concentrations above those producing maximal initial steroidogenic activity, persistent steroidogenesis is induced at all levels of the toxin. Steroidogenic responses are detectable with 10 pg/ml of choleragen or less. The respective effects of ACTH and choleragen on cyclic-AMP synthesis and release into the medium parallel those on steroidogenesis. Intracellular cyclic-AMP levels in ACTH-treated cells reach a peak within 20-30 minutes and decline to normal levels within 2-4 hours. In choleragen-treated cells, after the lage period, the levels of intracellular cyclic-AMP remain above control levels indefinitely. The effects of ACTH and choleragen on cyclic-AMP biosynthesis are additive at all levels of the two compounds. The effects of choleragen are blocked by prior treatment of the toxin with a five-fold molar excess of ganglioside GM1, a presumed constituent of the toxin-binding site.

Abstract
The major limitation to our understanding of the clinical importance of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in diarrheal illness has been the lack of a simple rapid assay for the enterotoxin produced by certain E. coli. On the basis of the activation of adenylate cyclase by heat-labile enterotoxin of E. coli (LT) and by cholera toxin (CT) in intestinal and other tissues, cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with known morphological responses to dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) were exposed to these enterotoxins. Crude culture filtrates of LT-producing E. coli and CT stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and cell elongation in CHO cells. The similarity of time course, concentration dependence, and potentiation by phosphodiesterase inhibitors suggested cyclic AMP mediation of the morphological change. Heat inactivated CT and LT in this system. Choleragenoid inhibited CT; antiserum against CT inhibited both enterotoxin effects. In contrast to culture filtrates of 16 strains of E. coli known to produce LT, culture filtrates from 13 E. coli that do not produce LT did not alter CHO cell morphology. The morphological change is a simple, specific assay for these enterotoxins and detect 3 x 10(-17) mol of CT or a 1:250 dilution of crude culture filtrate of LT-producing E. coli 334.

Abstract
Choleragen, the pure protein from cholera toxin, stimulates steroid secretion by Y-1 adrenal tumor cells in culture. The secreted steroids are the same as seen after addition of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Half-maximal stimulation occurs at 15 pM; stimulation is essentially irreversible by washing and partially reversible (for about 1 hr) by antibody, and there is a latent period of about 60 min before stimulation is seen. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase occurs at about 30-fold higher choleragen concentrations. Gangliosides inhibit choleragen stimulation when added before but not after the toxin. Lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhosa, and Serratia marcescens also stimulate steroid secretion, but are less potent than choleragen.

Abstract
The mechanism by which excess quantities of bile salts in the colon produce diarrhea is not known. Therefore, experiments were performed in which the effect of conjugated dihydroxy bile salts on ion transport was evaluated in the in vitro short-circuited rat colon. 2 mM glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDC), taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDC), or taurodeoxycholic acid caused a prompt increase in short-circuit current (I(sc)) and electrical potential difference (PD). Similar results were obtained when theophylline was added. Removal of HCO(2) and C1 prevented the effects of both bile salts and theophylline. Pretreatment with theophylline blocked the increase in I(sc) and PD produced by TCDC and pretreatment with either TCDC or GCDC inhibited the expected theophylline response. Na fluxes in the presence of both TCDC and theophylline demonstrated a decrease in net absorption; and TCDC decreased net C1 absorption and theophylline caused a reversal of net C1 absorption to net C1 secretion. It is proposed that the diarrhea associated with cholerheic enteropathy is produced by active anion secretion possibly mediated by cyclic AMP.
