Abstract
Ion channels and transporters are ubiquitously expressed on cell membrane, which involve in a plethora of physiological process such as contraction, neurotransmission, secretion and so on. Ion channels and transporters is of great importance to maintaining membrane potential homeostasis, which is essential to absorption of nutrients in gastrointestinal tract. Most of nutrients are electrogenic and require ion channels and transporters to absorb. This review summarizes the latest research on the role of ion channels and transporters in regulating nutrient uptake such as K+ channels, Ca2+ channels and ion exchangers. Revealing the mechanism of ion channels and transporters associated with nutrient uptake will be helpful to provide new methods to diagnosis and find potential targets for diseases like diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases, etc. Even though some of study still remain ambiguous and in early stage, we believe that ion channels and transporters will be novel therapeutic targets in the future.

Regulation of nutrient and electrolyte absorption in human organoid-derived intestinal epithelial cell monolayers. Transl Res 2022; 248:22-35. [PMID: 35513245 DOI: 10.1016/j.trsl.2022.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Recently developed human intestinal epithelial 3D organoid cultures are a useful cell culture model to study intestinal transport physiology. From these, 2D monolayer cultures can be generated in which apical transporters are exposed to the medium, thereby better facilitating in vitro investigation of intestinal absorption processes. However, whether nutrient and electrolyte absorption can be physiologically regulated in human organoid-derived monolayers has not been determined. Constitutive nitric oxide (cNO) is known to regulate multiple gastrointestinal physiological functions. Previous studies using in vivo and in vitro mammalian animal models indicate that enhanced intracellular cNO differentially regulates the two primary apical Na transporters in small intestinal epithelial cells. Here, we generated human jejunal organoid-derived monolayers to determine whether apical nutrient and electrolyte transporter function is regulated by cNO in human enterocytes. Western blot analysis and immunocytochemical staining showed that organoid-derived 2D cultures express markers of enterocyte differentiation and form intact monolayers of apical-basal polarized epithelial cells. Uptake studies demonstrated that jejunal monolayers exhibit functional activity of Na-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1; SLC5A1) and Na-H exchanger 3 (NHE3; SLC9A3). In response to physiological increases in cNO, the two primary apical Na transporters were differentially regulated in human intestinal organoid-derived monolayers, across multiple human specimens. An increase in cNO stimulated SGLT1, while NHE3 was inhibited. These results are similar to what is seen in vivo and in vitro in different animal intestinal models. Thus, human jejunal organoid-derived monolayers are an ideal in vitro model to better understand how intestinal nutrient absorption is regulated.

Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated that high protein diets improve glucose homeostasis. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain elusive. This exploratory study aims to screen and compare the acute effects of dietary proteins from different sources on intestinal glucose absorption. Six dietary proteins from various sources were thus selected and digested thanks to the INFOGEST static gastrointestinal digestion protocol. The digested proteins were able to decrease intestinal glucose absorption in vitro and ex vivo. Moreover, acute ingestion of casein and fish gelatin led to improved glucose tolerance in Wistar rats without significant effect on insulin secretion. In parallel, GLUT2 mRNA expression in enterocytes was decreased following short-term incubation with some of the digested proteins. These results strengthen the evidence that digested protein-derived peptides and amino acids are key regulators of glucose homeostasis and highlight their role in intestinal glucose absorption.

Reduced activity of intestinal surface Na +/H + exchanger NHE3 is a key factor for induction of diarrhea after PEDV infection in neonatal piglets. Virology 2021; 563:64-73. [PMID: 34464882 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2021.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV; family Coronaviridae, genus Alphacoronavirus) causes acute diarrhea and vomiting, dehydration, and high mortality in neonatal piglets. Despite extensive research focusing on the pathogenesis of PEDV infection, the molecular pathogenesis of PEDV-induced diarrhea in piglets remains unclear. Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3), the main exchanger of electroneutral sodium in intestinal epithelial cells, is closely associated with the occurrence of diarrhea. To date, there is no study on whether diarrhea caused by PEDV infection is related to the activity of NHE3. In the present study, it was found that the expression level of cell membrane protein NHE3 significantly decreased after PEDV infection, whereas the total level of protein expression was not significantly changed. The Na+/H+ transport rate and the mRNA abundance of NHE3 decreased; the NHE3 activity decreased gradually with increasing infection time. In vivo, after PEDV infection of newborn piglets, rupture of intestinal villi and interstitial degeneration of intestinal epithelial cells in different intestinal segments were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence methods were used to observe the decreased expression of NHE3 protein on the membrane of intestinal epithelial cells in the jejunum and ileum. Taken together, these data indicate that PEDV infection reduces NHE3 activity in intestinal epithelial cells, hindering Na+ transport and thus causing diarrhea.

Ion Transport Basis of Diarrhea in a Mouse Model of Adoptive T Cell Transfer Colitis. Dig Dis Sci 2020; 65:1700-1709. [PMID: 31741140 PMCID: PMC7230007 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-019-05945-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diarrhea, a major pathological hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease, is characterized by a significant reduction in the expression and function of key intestinal ion transporters. The adoptive naïve CD4+ T cell transfer colitis is an immune-based, chronic colitis mouse model which resembles human Crohn's disease. Although mice with T cell transfer colitis demonstrate diarrhea, the ion transporter basis of this phenotype has not been explored. AIMS/METHODS In the current studies, we aimed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of the key NaCl transporters DRA and NHE3 along with the mRNA expression of other transporters in the inflamed intestine. RESULTS Naïve CD4+ T cells, transferred to Rag2 knockout mice, induced severe colonic inflammation characterized by histological damage and increased mRNA levels of cytokines in the colon with no effect in the ileum. Diarrheal phenotype was a key feature of the excised colons of mice where loose stools were evident. Our results demonstrated that the key chloride transporter DRA, mRNA, and protein levels were significantly reduced in the inflamed colon. However, expression of the key sodium hydrogen exchanger NHE3 was unaffected. The mRNA expression of other important transporters was also determined; in this regard, the sodium channel ENACα and the monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and SMCT1 mRNA levels were also significantly lower compared to control mice. However, CFTR mRNA was not altered in the colon or ileum. CONCLUSIONS The studies conducted herein for the first time demonstrate the downregulation of important intestinal ion transporters in proximal and distal colon in T cell transfer colitis mouse model, providing valuable evidence for the ion transporter basis of diarrhea in this chronic model of inflammation.

Abstract
Glucose and fructose play a central role in the metabolism and cellular homeostasis of organisms. Their absorption is co-mediated by two families of glucose transporters, Na+-coupled glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) and facilitative Na+-independent sugar carriers (GLUTs), in the intestine. However, limited information has been available on these transporters in fish. Therefore, we studied glut2, sglt1, and sglt4 genes in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). The full-length cDNAs of glut2 was 2308 bp, with an open reading frame (ORF) of 503 amino acids (AAs). The full-length cDNAs of sglt1 was 2890 bp, with an ORF of 658 AAs. Additionally, the full-length cDNAs of sglt4 was 2090 bp, with an ORF encoding 659 AAs. The three deduced AA sequences showed high homology between grass carp and other cyprinid fish species. Based on homology modeling, three-dimensional models of GLUT2, SGLT1, and SGLT4 proteins were created and transmembrane domains were noted. glut2, sglt1, and sglt4 were abundantly expressed in the anterior and mid intestine. In particular, glut2 was markedly expressed in liver (P < 0.05). Additionally, the results indicated that different stocking densities (0.9 or 5.9 kg m-2) did not alter intestinal section-dependent expression patterns of the three transporter genes. However, high stocking density impacted segmental mRNA expression levels. This work demonstrated that mRNA expression of sugar transporter genes in the fish intestine was segment specific, and crowding stress may affect the activity of intestinal sugar transporters. These results provided new insights into the relationship between crowding stress and intestinal sugar transporters in fish.

Abstract
Decreased of apical of NHE3 protein expression and Na+/H+ exchange activity after TGEV infected IPEC-J2. SGLT1 can regulation the trafficking of NHE3 by p38MAPK/AKt2 singal pathway and show a corporate relationship. TGEV infection causes an increase in the expression of total SGLT1 protein. TGEV infection attenuates the translocation and exchange activity of NHE3 via the p38MAPK/AKt2 signaling pathway.
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) primarily replicates in intestinal epithelial cells and causes severe damage to host cells, resulting in diarrhea. Surface NHE3 serves as the key regulatory site controlling electroneutral Na+ absorption. In this study, our results showed that the surface NHE3 content was significantly reduced following TGEV infection, whereas the total level of protein expression was not significantly changed, and NHE3 activity gradually decreased with prolonged infection time. We then inhibited SGLT1 expression by lentiviral interference and drug inhibition, respectively. Inhibition studies showed that the level of phosphorylation of the downstream key proteins, MAPKAPK-2 and EZRIN, in the SGLT1-mediated p38MAPK/AKt2 signaling pathway was significantly increased. The surface NHE3 expression was also significantly increased, and NHE3 activity was also significantly enhanced. These results demonstrate that a TGEV infection can inhibit NHE3 translocation and attenuates sodium-hydrogen exchange activity via the SGLT1-mediated p38MAPK/AKt2 signaling pathway, affecting cellular electrolyte absorption leading to diarrhea.

Abstract
During obesity, diabetes and hypertension inevitably coexist and cause innumerable health disparities. In the obesity, diabetes, and hypertension triad (ODHT), deregulation of glucose and NaCl homeostasis, respectively, causes diabetes and hypertension. In the mammalian intestine, glucose is primarily absorbed by Na-glucose cotransport 1 (SGLT1) and coupled NaCl by the dual operation of Na-H exchange 3 (NHE3) and Cl-HCO3 [down-regulated in adenoma (DRA) or putative anion transporter 1 (PAT1)] exchange in the brush border membrane (BBM) of villus cells. The basolateral membrane (BLM) Na/K-ATPase provides the favorable transcellular Na gradient for BBM SGLT1 and NHE3. How these multiple, distinct transport processes may be affected in ODHT is unclear. Here, we show the novel and broad regulation by Na/K-ATPase of glucose and NaCl absorption in ODHT in multiple species (mice, rats, and humans). In vivo, during obesity inhibition of villus-cell BLM, Na/K-ATPase led to compensatory stimulation of BBM SGLT1 and DRA or PAT1, whereas NHE3 was unaffected. Supporting this new cellular adaptive mechanism, direct silencing of BLM Na/K-ATPase in intestinal epithelial cells resulted in selective stimulation of BBM SGLT1 and DRA or PAT1 but not NHE3. These changes will lead to an increase in glucose absorption, maintenance of traditional coupled NaCl absorption, and a de novo increase in NaCl absorption from the novel coupling of stimulated SGLT1 with DRA or PAT1. Thus, these novel observations provide the pathophysiologic basis for the deregulation of glucose and NaCl homeostasis of diabetes and hypertension, respectively, during obesity. These observations may lead to more efficacious treatment for obesity-associated diabetes and hypertension.-Palaniappan, B., Arthur, S., Sundaram, V.

Unique Regulation of Enterocyte Brush Border Membrane Na-Glutamine and Na-Alanine Co-Transport by Peroxynitrite during Chronic Intestinal Inflammation. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20061504. [PMID: 30917504 PMCID: PMC6470611 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20061504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 03/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Na-amino acid co-transporters (NaAAcT) are uniquely affected in rabbit intestinal villus cell brush border membrane (BBM) during chronic intestinal inflammation. Specifically, Na-alanine co-transport (ASCT1) is inhibited secondary to a reduction in the affinity of the co-transporter for alanine, whereas Na-glutamine co-transport (B0AT1) is inhibited secondary to a reduction in BBM co-transporter numbers. During chronic intestinal inflammation, there is abundant production of the potent oxidant peroxynitrite (OONO). However, whether OONO mediates the unique alteration in NaAAcT in intestinal epithelial cells during chronic intestinal inflammation is unknown. In this study, ASCT1 and B0AT1 were inhibited by OONO in vitro. The mechanism of inhibition of ASCT1 by OONO was secondary to a reduction in the affinity of the co-transporter for alanine, and secondary to a reduction in the number of co-transporters for B0AT1, which were further confirmed by Western blot analyses. In conclusion, peroxynitrite inhibited both BBM ASCT1 and B0AT1 in intestinal epithelial cells but by different mechanisms. These alterations in the villus cells are similar to those seen in the rabbit model of chronic enteritis. Therefore, this study indicates that peroxynitrite may mediate the inhibition of ASCT1 and B0AT1 during inflammation, when OONO levels are known to be elevated in the mucosa.

Degree of SGLT1 phosphorylation is associated with but does not determine segment-specific glucose transport features in the porcine small intestines. Physiol Rep 2018; 6. [PMID: 29333720 PMCID: PMC5789657 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2017] [Revised: 11/29/2017] [Accepted: 12/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Glucose‐induced electrogenic ion transport is higher in the porcine ileum compared with the jejunum despite equal apical abundance of SGLT1. The objective of this study was a detailed determination of SGLT1 and GLUT2 expressions at mRNA and protein levels along the porcine small intestinal axis. Phosphorylation of SGLT1 at serine 418 was assessed as a potential modulator of activity. Porcine intestinal tissues taken along the intestinal axis 1 h or 3 h after feeding were analyzed for relative mRNA (RT‐PCR) and protein levels (immunoblot) of SGLT1, pSGLT1, GLUT2, (p)AMPK, β2‐receptor, and PKA substrates. Functional studies on electrogenic glucose transport were done (Ussing chambers: short circuit currents (Isc)). Additionally, effects of epinephrine (Epi) administration on segment‐specific glucose transport and pSGLT1 content were examined. SGLT1 and GLUT2 expression was similar throughout the small intestines but lower in the duodenum and distal ileum. pSGLT1 abundance was significantly lower in the ileum compared with the jejunum associated with significantly higher glucose‐induced Isc. SGLT1 phosphorylation was not inducible by Epi. Epi treatment decreased glucose‐induced Isc and glucose flux rates in the jejunum but increased basal Isc in the ileum. Epi‐induced PKA activation was detectable in jejunal tissue. These results may indicate that SGLT1 phosphorylation at Ser418 represents a structural change to compensate for certain conditions that may decrease glucose transport (unfavorable driving forces/changed apical membrane potential) rather than being the cause for the overall differences in glucose transport characteristics between the jejunum and ileum.

Abstract
Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) has caused devastating economic losses to the swine industry worldwide, despite extensive research focusing on the pathogenesis of virus infection. The molecular pathogenic mechanism of TGEV-induced diarrhea in piglets is unknown. Intestinal diarrhea is closely related to the function of the Na+/H+ exchanger protein NHE3 in the brush border membrane of small intestine epithelial cells. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may act to regulate NHE3 expression. In addition, EGFR may promote viral invasion of host cells. The present study aimed to determine whether NHE3 activity is regulated by altering EGFR expression to affect Na+ absorption in TGEV-infected intestinal epithelial cells. Porcine intestinal epithelial cells were used as models for TGEV infection. The results showed that Na+ absorption and NHE3 expression levels decreased in TGEV-infected cells. Proliferation of TGEV within IPEC-J2 cells could be inhibited by treatment with the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 and knockdown; resulting in recovery of Na+ absorption in TGEV infected cells and increasing the activity and expression of NHE3. Moreover, we demonstrated that NHE3 activity was regulated through the EGFR/ERK pathway. Importantly, NHE3 mobility on the plasma membrane of TGEV infected cells was significantly weaker than that in normal cells, and EGFR inhibition and knockdown recovered this mobility. Our research indicated that NHE3 activity was negatively regulated by EGFR in TGEV-infected intestinal epithelial cells.

Cells 2018; 7:cells7080111. [PMID: 30126234 PMCID: PMC6115905 DOI: 10.3390/cells7080111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2018] [Revised: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
During chronic intestinal inflammation in rabbit intestinal villus cells brush border membrane (BBM) Na-glucose co-transport (SGLT1), but not Na/H exchange (NHE3) is inhibited. The mechanism of inhibition is secondary to a decrease in the number of BBM co-transporters. In the chronic enteritis mucosa, inducible nitric oxide (iNO) and superoxide production are known to be increased and together they produce abundant peroxynitrite (OONO), a potent oxidant. However, whether OONO mediates the SGLT1 and NHE3 changes in intestinal epithelial cells during chronic intestinal inflammation is unknown. Thus, we determined the effect of OONO on SGLT1 and NHE3 in small intestinal epithelial cell (IEC-18) monolayers grown on trans well plates. In cells treated with 100 μM SIN-1 (OONO donor) for 24 h, SGLT1 was inhibited while NHE3 activity was unaltered. SIN-1 treated cells produced 40 times more OONO fluorescence compared to control cells. Uric acid (1mM) a natural scavenger of OONO prevented the OONO mediated SGLT1 inhibition. Na+/K+-ATPase which maintains the favorable trans-cellular Na gradient for Na-dependent absorptive processes was decreased by OONO. Kinetics studies demonstrated that the mechanism of inhibition of SGLT1 by OONO was secondary to reduction in the number of co-transporters (Vmax) without an alteration in the affinity. Western blot analysis showed a significant decrease in SGLT1 protein expression. Further, p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway appeared to mediate the OONO inhibition of SGLT1. Finally, at the level of the co-transporter, 3-Nitrotyrosine formation appears to be the mechanism of inhibition of SGLT1. In conclusion, peroxynitrite inhibited BBM SGLT1, but not NHE3 in intestinal epithelial cells. These changes and the mechanism of SGLT1 inhibition by OONO in IEC-18 cells is identical to that seen in villus cells during chronic enteritis. Thus, these data indicate that peroxynitrite, known to be elevated in the mucosa, may mediate the inhibition of villus cell BBM SGLT1 in vivo in the chronically inflamed intestine.

Direct and specific inhibition of constitutive nitric oxide synthase uniquely regulates brush border membrane Na-absorptive pathways in intestinal epithelial cells. Nitric Oxide 2018; 79:8-13. [PMID: 29702252 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2018.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2018] [Revised: 04/20/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Pharmacological manipulations of constitutive nitric oxide (cNO) levels have been shown to have variable effects on Na absorption in vivo and in vitro in different tissues. Species differences, untoward in vivo effects (e.g. ENS, blood flow) and pharmacological non-specificity may account for these confounding observations. Thus, to directly and specifically determine the effect of cNO on brush border membrane Na/H exchange (NHE3) and Na-dependent glucose co-transport (SGLT-1), we inhibited cNO synthase (NOS3) with its siRNA in rat small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-18) in vitro. As expected, intracellular cNO levels were reduced in siRNA NOS3 transfected cells. In these cells, SGLT-1 was significantly reduced compared to control. In contrast, NHE3 was significantly increased in siRNA NOS3 transfected cells. To determine if SGLT-1 changes were secondary to altered Na/K-ATPase, its activity was measured and found to be increased in NOS3 silenced cells. The mechanism of inhibition of SGLT-1 was secondary to diminished affinity of the co-transporter for glucose in NOS3 silenced cells. In contrast, the mechanism of stimulation of NHE3 is by increasing BBM exchanger numbers in siRNA NOS3 cells while the affinity was unaffected. Western blot studies of immunoreactive BBM proteins also confirmed the kinetic studies. All these data indicates that direct and specific inhibition of NOS3 with its siRNA inhibits SGLT-1 while stimulating NHE3 in the BBM. Thus, cNO uniquely and compensatorily regulates BBM NHE3 and SGLT-1 to maintain cellular Na homeostasis and these unique alterations by cNO are mediated by its intracellular 2nd messenger cGMP.

Abstract
The Na(+)-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1/SLC5A1) is predominantly expressed in the small intestine. It transports glucose and galactose across the apical membrane in a process driven by a Na(+) gradient created by Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. SGLT2 is the major form found in the kidney, and SGLT2-selective inhibitors are a new class of treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent data from patients treated with dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors or SGLT2-selective drugs such as canagliflozin (SGLT1 IC50 = 663 nM) warrant evaluation of SGLT1 inhibition for T2DM. SGLT1 activity is highly dynamic, with modulation by multiple mechanisms to ensure maximal uptake of carbohydrates (CHOs). Intestinal SGLT1 inhibition lowers and delays the glucose excursion following CHO ingestion and augments glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY) secretion. The latter is likely due to increased glucose exposure of the colonic microbiota and formation of metabolites such as L cell secretagogues. GLP-1 and PYY secretion suppresses food intake, enhances the ileal brake, and has an incretin effect. An increase in colonic microbial production of propionate could contribute to intestinal gluconeogenesis and mediate positive metabolic effects. On the other hand, a threshold of SGLT1 inhibition that could lead to gastrointestinal intolerability is unclear. Altered Na(+) homeostasis and increased colonic CHO may result in diarrhea and adverse gastrointestinal effects. This review considers the potential mechanisms contributing to positive metabolic and negative intestinal effects. Compounds that inhibit SGLT1 must balance the modulation of these mechanisms to achieve therapeutic efficacy for metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The absorption of glucose is electrogenic in the small intestinal epithelium. The major route for the transport of dietary glucose from intestinal lumen into enterocytes is the Na+/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1), although glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) may also play a role. The membrane potential of small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) is important to regulate the activity of SGLT1. The maintenance of membrane potential mainly depends on the activities of cation channels and transporters. While the importance of SGLT1 in glucose absorption has been systemically studied in detail, little is currently known about the regulation of SGLT1 activity by cation channels and transporters. A growing line of evidence suggests that cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) can regulate the absorption of glucose by adjusting GLUT2 and SGLT1. Moreover, the absorption of glucose and homeostasis of Ca2+ in IEC are regulated by cation channels and transporters, such as Ca2+ channels, K+ channels, Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, and Na+/H+ exchangers. In this review, we consider the involvement of these cation channels and transporters in the regulation of glucose uptake in the small intestine. Modulation of them may be a potential strategy for the management of obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Na-K-ATPase, an integral membrane protein in mammalian cells, is responsible for maintaining the favorable intracellular Na gradient necessary to promote Na-coupled solute cotransport processes [e.g., Na-glucose cotransport (SGLT1)]. Inhibition of brush border membrane (BBM) SGLT1 is, at least in part, due to the diminished Na-K-ATPase in villus cells from chronically inflamed rabbit intestine. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of Na-K-ATPase inhibition on the two major BBM Na absorptive pathways, specifically Na-glucose cotransport and Na/H exchange (NHE), in intestinal epithelial (IEC-18) cells. Na-K-ATPase was inhibited using 1 mM ouabain or siRNA for Na-K-ATPase-α1 in IEC-18 cells. SGLT1 activity was determined as 3-O-methyl-D-[(3)H]glucose uptake. Na-K-ATPase activity was measured as the amount of inorganic phosphate released. Treatment with ouabain resulted in SGLT1 inhibition at 1 h but stimulation at 24 h. To further characterize this unexpected stimulation of SGLT1, siRNA silencing was utilized to inhibit Na-K-ATPase-α1. SGLT1 activity was significantly upregulated by Na-K-ATPase silencing, while NHE3 activity remained unaltered. Kinetics showed that the mechanism of stimulation of SGLT1 activity was secondary to an increase in affinity of the cotransporter for glucose without a change in the number of cotransporters. Molecular studies demonstrated that the mechanism of stimulation was not secondary to altered BBM SGLT1 protein levels. Chronic and direct silencing of basolateral Na-K-ATPase uniquely regulates BBM Na absorptive pathways in intestinal epithelial cells. Specifically, while BBM NHE3 is unaffected, SGLT1 is stimulated secondary to enhanced affinity of the cotransporter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In vitro cell models have been used to predict drug permeation in early stages of drug development, since they represent an easy and reproducible method, allowing the tracking of drug absorption rate and mechanism, with an advantageous cost-benefit ratio. Such cell-based models are mainly composed of immortalized cells with an intrinsic ability to grow in a monolayer when seeded in permeable supports, maintaining their physiologic characteristics regarding epithelium cell physiology and functionality. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the most important intestinal, pulmonary, nasal, vaginal, rectal, ocular and skin cell-based in vitro models for predicting the permeability of drugs. Moreover, the similitude between in vitro cell models and in vivo conditions are discussed, providing evidence that each model may provisionally resemble different drug absorption route. EXPERT OPINION Despite the widespread use of in vitro cell models for drug permeability and absorption evaluation purposes, a detailed study on the properties of these models and their in vitro-in vivo correlation compared with human data are required to further use in order to consider a future drug discovery optimization and clinical development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we focus on the recent (March 2010 to September 2011) advances in small intestinal ion transport, with particular emphasis on sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, and calcium transport mechanisms under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. RECENT FINDINGS Knockout of NHERF1 and NHERF2 allowed translation of the data largely derived from the in-vitro models into a living organism. These studies also expand our knowledge about the complexity of intestinal transporter interactomes, define the role for scaffolding proteins in basal and regulated apical transport, and help identify potential targets for pharmacological approaches. We continue to accumulate novel information about the function and regulation of NHE3 (including its role in regulating paracellular Ca2+ flux), NHE8, as well as about the complexity of the intestinal Cl- and HCO3- transport in health and disease. SUMMARY Thanks to the new genetically engineered mouse models, a significant progress has been made in our understanding of the role of NHERF proteins in regulation of intestinal Na+ absorption. Significant novel data on the coordinated function of bicarbonate, chloride, and sodium transporters contributes to our current views of the integrative physiology of the small intestinal electrolyte transport.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) arises as a result of a complex interaction of triggers, perpetuators and the substrate. The recurrence of AF may be partially related to a biologic phenomenon known as remodeling, in which the electrical, mechanical, and structural properties of the atrial tissue and cardiac cells are progressively altered,creating a more favorable substrate. Atrial remodeling is in part a consequence of arrhythmia itself. Therefore,to prevent and to treat AF, much attention has been directed to upstream therapies to alter the arrhythmia substrate and to reduce atrial remodeling. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a keyrole in these strategies. In this review we analyze the experimental and clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of RAAS inhibitors in AF treatment. In the primary prevention of AF, meta-analyses have shown that risk of new-onset AF in patients with congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction is reduced by RAAS inhibitors, whereas in hypertensive and post-myocardial infarction patients, the results are less evident. In the secondary prevention of AF, some large, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled studieswith angiotensin II-receptor blockers returned negative results. Unfortunately, the approach of using RAASinhibitors as antiarrhythmic drugs to prevent both new-onset and recurrent AF is in decline because negativetrial results are accumulating, with the exception of the results in patients with congestive heart failure.
