Revisiting the Role of Ser982 Phosphorylation in Stoichiometry Shift of the Electrogenic Na +/ qHCO 3- Cotransporter NBCe1. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222312817. [PMID: 34884619 PMCID: PMC8657473 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222312817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In most cell types and heterologous expression systems, the electrogenic sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1 operates with a 1Na+-2HCO3- stoichiometry that, given typical transmembrane electrochemical gradients, promotes Na+ and HCO3- influx. However, NBCe1 in the kidney mediates HCO3- efflux (HCO3- reabsorption), a direction that has been predicted to be favored only if NBCe1 operates with a 1:3 stoichiometry. The phosphorylation state of Ser982 in the cytosolic carboxy-terminal domain of NBCe1 has been reported to be a key determinant of the transporter stoichiometry, with non-phosphorylated Ser982 favoring a 1:3 stoichiometry. Conversely, phosphoproteomic data from renal cortical preparations have revealed the presence of NBCe1 peptides including phosphoserine982 (pSer982) and/or pSer985 although it was not known what proportion of NBCe1 molecules were phosphorylated. In the present study, we report the generation, characterization, and application of a novel phosphospecific antibody raised against NBCe1/pSer982 and show that, contrary to expectations, Ser982 is more prevalently phosphorylated in murine kidneys (in which NBCe1 mediates HCO3- efflux) than in murine colons (in which NBCe1 mediates HCO3- influx). Using phosphomimetic mutants of murine NBCe1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes, we found no evidence that the phosphorylation state of Ser982 or Ser985 alone influences the transport stoichiometry or conductance. Furthermore, we found that the phosphorylation of NBCe1/Ser982 is enhanced in murine kidneys following a 24 h induction of metabolic acidosis. We conclude that the phosphorylation status of Ser982 is not a key determinant of NBCe1 stoichiometry but correlates with presumed NBCe1 activity.

Abstract
Cells lacking a stiff cell wall, e.g., mammalian cells, must actively regulate their volume to maintain proper cell function. On the time scale that protein production is negligible, water flow in and out of the cell determines the cell volume variation. Water flux follows hydraulic and osmotic gradients; the latter is generated by various ion channels, transporters, and pumps in the cell membrane. Compared to the widely studied roles of sodium, potassium, and chloride in cell volume regulation, the effects of proton and bicarbonate are less understood. In this work, we use mathematical models to analyze how proton and bicarbonate, combined with sodium, potassium, chloride, and buffer species, regulate cell volume upon inhibition of ion channels, transporters, and pumps. The model includes several common, widely expressed ion transporters and focuses on obtaining generic outcomes. Results show that the intracellular osmolarity remains almost constant before and after cell volume change. The steady-state cell volume does not depend on water permeability. In addition, to ensure the stability of cell volume and ion concentrations, cells need to develop redundant mechanisms to maintain homeostasis, i.e., multiple ion channels or transporters are involved in the flux of the same ion species. These results provide insights for molecular mechanisms of cell volume regulation with additional implications for water-driven cell migration.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2021; 320:C1074-C1087.

Abstract
Voltage-gated Kv7 (KCNQ family) K+ channels are expressed in many neuronal populations and play an important role in regulating membrane potential by generating a hyperpolarizing K+ current and decreasing cell excitability. However, the role of KV7 channels in the neural regulation of intestinal epithelial Cl- secretion is not known. Cl- secretion in mouse distal colon was measured as a function of short-circuit current (ISC), and pharmacological approaches were used to test the hypothesis that activation of KV7 channels in enteric neurons would inhibit epithelial Cl- secretion. Flupirtine, a nonselective KV7 activator, inhibited basal Cl- secretion in mouse distal colon and abolished or attenuated the effects of drugs that target various components of enteric neurotransmission, including tetrodotoxin (NaV channel blocker), veratridine (NaV channel activator), nicotine (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist), and hexamethonium (nicotinic antagonist). In contrast, flupritine did not block the response to epithelium-targeted agents VIP (endogenous VPAC receptor ligand) or carbachol (nonselective cholinergic agonist). Flupirtine inhibited Cl- secretion in both full-thickness and seromuscular-stripped distal colon (containing the submucosal, but not myenteric plexus) but generated no response in epithelial T84 cell monolayers. KV7.2 and KV7.3 channel proteins were detected by immunofluorescence in whole mount preparations of the submucosa from mouse distal colon. ICA 110381 (KV7.2/7.3 specific activator) inhibited Cl- secretion comparably to flupirtine. We conclude that KV7 channel activators inhibit neurally driven Cl- secretion in the colonic epithelium and may therefore have therapeutic benefit in treating pathologies associated with hyperexcitable enteric nervous system, such as irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).

The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter and its roles in the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion induced cardiac diseases. Life Sci 2021; 270:119153.

Abstract
Cardiac tissue ischemia/hypoxia increases glycolysis and lactic acid accumulation in cardiomyocytes, leading to intracellular metabolic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate cotransporters (NBCs) play a vital role in modulating intracellular pH and maintaining sodium ion concentrations in cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes mainly express electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), which has been demonstrated to participate in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This review outlines the structural and functional properties of NBCe1, summarizes the signaling pathways and factors that may regulate the activity of NBCe1, and reviews the roles of NBCe1 in the pathogenesis of I/R-induced cardiac diseases. Further studies revealing the regulatory mechanisms of NBCe1 activity should provide novel therapeutic targets for preventing I/R-induced cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Background and Aims: In primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), antibodies to a peptide of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 (mAChR3) have been described. Since the mAChR3 is expressed on cholangiocytes and mAChR3-signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory biliary diseases, we wanted to investigate whether anti-mAChR3-antibodies influence the function of the receptor and the proliferative response of cholangiocytes. Methods: Immunoglobulins were isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation using sera from patients with PBC (n = 63) and with other chronic liver disorders (n = 150). All immunoglobulins were analyzed by a luminometric assay using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing the mAChR3 and cholangiocytes (TFK-1-cells) expressing the receptor constitutively. Cell proliferation was measured by 3H-thymidine assay. PBC patients were also analyzed in the follow-up. Results: Antibodies inhibiting the mAChR3 were found in 49 and 79% of PBC patients using CHO-cells or TFK-1-cells, respectively, but only in up to 26% of controls (p < 0.01). Stimulatory antibodies were hardly detected. Antibody reactivity only marginally changed during the course of the disease, independently of the choice of treatment (ursodeoxycholic acid, immunosuppressive therapy, or no medication). There was no correlation with laboratory, clinical or histological parameters, but the antibodies were more frequently found in PBC patients with a benign course (96%) than in patients with active disease progressing to late stages within 10 years (57%; p < 0.01). Proliferation of cells was not influenced by immunoglobulins from PBC-patients. Conclusion: Sera from patients with PBC contain inhibitory antibodies to the mAChR3 on cholangiocytes (TFK-1 cells) without influencing TFK-1-cell proliferation. These antibodies were predominantly observed in patients with non-progressing PBC.

Abstract
The cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) is one of the most important cell signaling that can modulate gastrointestinal (GI) epithelial secretion and promote GI mucosal wound repair. The GI mucosal bicarbonate secretion is the main mechanism of mucosal protection. Our research team has been working in this field and provided solid evidence for the important role of Ca2+ signaling in the regulation of GI epithelial secretion and the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this review, we attempt to systemically review the current status of our knowledge on the role of Ca2+ signaling in the regulation of intestinal bicarbonate secretion and in the upper GI epithelial protection. We expect that novel targets could be identified for drug development to better protect GI mucosa and treat mucosal injury with the advance in this filed.

Abstract
Electrogenic ion transport in human colon is a surrogate marker for colonic mucosal function, and may be manipulated by a variety of hormonal, neural, immune and paracrine mediators. Polyamines are present in vast quantities in the colonic lumen and appear to be integral to cellular function. This study explores some of the mechanisms of polyamine action on colonic tissue through study of their effects on differential secretory pathways, as well as examining their actions on intracellular cAMP and Ca(2+) accumulation. Human colonic mucosa was mounted in Ussing chambers and treated with polyamines (spermine, spermidine and putrescine) with changes in ion transport recorded. In separate experiments colonic crypts were treated with polyamines and intracellular cAMP levels determined by ELISA and intracellular calcium concentrations were quantified by fluorescent imaging. Polyamines at physiological concentrations (1mM) exert no effects on basal mucosal chloride secretion or transepithelial electrical resistance. Polyamines inhibit electrogenic ion secretion as stimulated by forskolin (cAMP-mediated), but not carbachol (Ach-mediated). All the polyamines used in this study inhibited intracellular cAMP accumulation, according to potency (spermine>spermidine>putrescine). Spermine increased intracellular Ca(2+) in a PKC-dependent manner, likely due to its effects on the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). Polyamines act to prevent cAMP-mediated Cl(-) hypersecretion in the colon, acting through CaSR to inhibit PKC-mediated [Ca(2+)]i release from intracellular stores.

Abstract
Epithelial ion transport is mainly under the control of intracellular cAMP and Ca(2+) signaling. Although the molecular mechanisms of cAMP-induced epithelial ion secretion are well defined, those induced by Ca(2+) signaling remain poorly understood. Because calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) activation results in an increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]cyt) but a decrease in cAMP levels, it is a suitable receptor for elucidating the mechanisms of [Ca(2+)]cyt-mediated epithelial ion transport and duodenal bicarbonate secretion (DBS). CaSR proteins have been detected in mouse duodenal mucosae and human intestinal epithelial cells. Spermine and Gd(3+), two CaSR activators, markedly stimulated DBS without altering duodenal short circuit currents in wild-type mice but did not affect DBS and duodenal short circuit currents in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) knockout mice. Clotrimazole, a selective blocker of intermediate conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels but not chromanol 293B, a selective blocker of cAMP-activated K(+) channels (KCNQ1), significantly inhibited CaSR activator-induced DBS, which was similar in wild-type and KCNQ1 knockout mice. HCO3 (-) fluxes across epithelial cells were activated by a CFTR activator, but blocked by a CFTR inhibitor. CaSR activators induced HCO3 (-) fluxes, which were inhibited by a receptor-operated channel (ROC) blocker. Moreover, CaSR activators dose-dependently raised cellular [Ca(2+)]cyt, which was abolished in Ca(2+)-free solutions and inhibited markedly by selective CaSR antagonist calhex 231, and ROC blocker in both animal and human intestinal epithelial cells. Taken together, CaSR activation triggers Ca(2+)-dependent DBS, likely through the ROC, intermediate conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, and CFTR channels. This study not only reveals that [Ca(2+)]cyt signaling is critical to modulate DBS but also provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of CaSR-mediated Ca(2+)-induced DBS.

Abstract
The colonic mucosa protects itself from the luminal content by secreting mucus that keeps the bacteria at a distance from the epithelium. For this barrier to be effective, the mucus has to be constantly replenished which involves exocytosis and expansion of the secreted mucins. Mechanisms involved in regulation of mucus exocytosis and expansion are poorly understood, and the aim of this study was to investigate whether epithelial anion secretion regulates mucus formation in the colon. The muscarinic agonist carbachol was used to induce parallel secretion of anions and mucus, and by using established inhibitors of ion transport, we studied how inhibition of epithelial transport affected mucus formation in mouse colon. Anion secretion and mucin exocytosis were measured by changes in membrane current and epithelial capacitance, respectively. Mucus thickness measurements were used to determine the carbachol effect on mucus growth. The results showed that the carbachol-induced increase in membrane current was dependent on NKCC1 co-transport, basolateral K(+) channels and Cftr activity. In contrast, the carbachol-induced increase in capacitance was partially dependent on NKCC1 and K(+) channel activity, but did not require Cftr activity. Carbachol also induced an increase in mucus thickness that was inhibited by the NKCC1 blocker bumetanide. However, mice that lacked a functional Cftr channel did not respond to carbachol with an increase in mucus thickness, suggesting that carbachol-induced mucin expansion requires Cftr channel activity. In conclusion, these findings suggest that colonic epithelial transport regulates mucus formation by affecting both exocytosis and expansion of the mucin molecules.

Abstract
The colonic mucosa actively secretes HCO3(-), and several lines of evidence point to an important role of Na+/HCO3(-) cotransport (NBC) as a basolateral HCO3(-) import pathway. We could recently demonstrate that the predominant NBC isoform in murine colonic crypts is electrogenic NBCe1-B, and that secretagogues cause NBCe1 exocytosis, which likely represents a component of NBC activation. Since protein kinase C (PKC) plays a key role in the regulation of ion transport by trafficking events, we asked whether it is also involved in the observed NBC activity increase. Crypts were isolated from murine proximal colon to assess PKC activation as well as NBC function and membrane abundance using fluorometric pHi measurements and cell surface biotinylation, respectively. PKC isoform translocation and phosphorylation occurred in response to PMA-, as well as secretagogue stimulation. The conventional and novel PKC inhibitors Gö6976 or Gö6850 did not alter NBC function or surface expression by themselves, but stimulation with forskolin (10(-5) M) or carbachol (10(-4) M) in their presence led to a significant decrease in NBC-mediated proton flux, and biotinylated NBCe1. Our data thus indicate that secretagogues lead to PKC translocation and phosphorylation in murine colonic crypts, and that PKC is necessary for the increase in NBC transport rate and membrane abundance caused by cholinergic and cAMP-dependent stimuli.

Abstract
Ductal epithelial cells of the exocrine pancreas secrete HCO3(-) rich, alkaline pancreatic juice, which maintains the intraluminal pH and washes the digestive enzymes out from the ductal system. Importantly, damage of this secretory process can lead to pancreatic diseases such as acute and chronic pancreatitis. Intracellular Ca(2+) signaling plays a central role in the physiological regulation of HCO3(-) secretion, however uncontrolled Ca(2+) release can lead to intracellular Ca(2+) overload and toxicity, including mitochondrial damage and impaired ATP production. Recent findings suggest that the most common pathogenic factors leading to acute pancreatitis, such as bile acids, or ethanol and ethanol metabolites can evoke different types of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, which can stimulate or inhibit ductal HCO3(-) secretion. Therefore, understanding the intracellular Ca(2+) pathways and the mechanisms which can switch a good signal to a bad signal in pancreatic ductal epithelial cells are crucially important. This review summarizes the variety of Ca(2+) signals both in physiological and pathophysiological aspects and highlight molecular targets which may strengthen our old friend or release our nasty enemy.

Abstract
Transepithelial bicarbonate secretion plays a key role in the maintenance of fluid and protein secretion from epithelial cells and the protection of the epithelial cell surface from various pathogens. Epithelial bicarbonate secretion is mainly under the control of cAMP and calcium signaling. While the physiological roles and molecular mechanisms of cAMP-induced bicarbonate secretion are relatively well defined, those induced by calcium signaling remain poorly understood in most epithelia. The present review summarizes the current status of knowledge on the role of calcium signaling in epithelial bicarbonate secretion. Specifically, this review introduces how cytosolic calcium signaling can increase bicarbonate secretion by regulating membrane transport proteins and how it synergizes with cAMP-induced mechanisms in epithelial cells. In addition, tissue-specific variations in the pancreas, salivary glands, intestines, bile ducts, and airways are discussed. We hope that the present report will stimulate further research into this important topic. These studies will provide the basis for future medicines for a wide spectrum of epithelial disorders including cystic fibrosis, Sjögren's syndrome, and chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic Ca(2+) is a master regulator of airway physiology; it controls fluid, mucus, and antimicrobial peptide secretion, ciliary beating, and smooth muscle contraction. The focus of this review is on the role of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) in fluid secretion by airway exocrine secretory cells. Airway submucosal gland serous acinar cells are the primary fluid secreting cell type of the cartilaginous conducting airways, and this review summarizes the current state of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of serous cell ion transport, with an emphasis on their regulation by intracellular Ca(2+). Many neurotransmitters that regulate secretion from serous acinar cells utilize Ca(2+) as a second messenger. Changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration regulate the activities of ion transporters and channels involved in transepithelial ion transport and fluid secretion, including Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels and Cl(-) channels. We also review evidence of interactions of Ca(2+) signaling with other signaling pathways (cAMP, NO) that impinge upon different ion transport pathways, including the cAMP/PKA-activated cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel. A better understanding of Ca(2+) signaling and its targets in airway fluid secretion may identify novel strategies to intervene in airway diseases, for example to enhance fluid secretion in CF airways.

Abstract
Duodenal epithelial cells need efficient defence strategies during gastric acidification of the lumen, while colonic mucosa counteracts damage by pathogens by building up a bacteria-free adherent mucus layer. Transport of HCO3(-) is considered crucial for duodenal defence against acid as well as for mucus release and expansion, but the transport pathways involved are incompletely understood. This study investigated the significance of the electroneutral Na(+)-HCO3(-) cotransporter NBCn1 for duodenal defence against acid and colonic mucus release. NBCn1 was localized to the basolateral membrane of duodenal villous enterocytes and of colonic crypt cells, with predominant expression in goblet cells. Duodenal villous enterocyte intracellular pH was studied before and during a luminal acid load by two-photon microscopy in exteriorized, vascularly perfused, indicator (SNARF-1 AM)-loaded duodenum of isoflurane-anaesthetized, systemic acid-base-controlled mice. Acid-induced HCO3(-) secretion was measured in vivo by single-pass perfusion and pH-stat titration. After a luminal acid load, NBCn1-deficient duodenocytes were unable to recover rapidly from intracellular acidification and could not respond adequately with protective HCO3(-) secretion. In the colon, build-up of the mucus layer was delayed, and a decreased thickness of the adherent mucus layer was observed, suggesting that basolateral HCO3(-) uptake is essential for optimal release of mucus. The electroneutral Na(+)-HCO3(-) cotransporter NBCn1 displays a differential cellular distribution in the murine intestine and is essential for HCO3(-)-dependent mucosal protective functions, such as recovery of intracellular pH and HCO3(-) secretion in the duodenum and secretion of mucus in the colon.

Abstract
Changes in intestinal luminal pH affect mucosal ion transport. The aim of this study was to compare how luminal pH and specific second messengers modulate the membrane traffic of four major ion transporters (CFTR, NHE3, NKCC1, and NBCe1) in rat small intestine. Ligated duodenal, jejunal, and ileal segments were infused with acidic or alkaline saline, 8-Br-cAMP, or the calcium agonist carbachol in vivo for 20 min. Compared with untreated intestine, lumen pH was reduced after cAMP or carbachol and increased following HCO(3)(-)-saline. Following HCl-saline, lumen pH was restored to control pH levels. All four secretory stimuli resulted in brush-border membrane (BBM) recruitment of CFTR in crypts and villi. In villus enterocytes, CFTR recruitment was coincident with internalization of BBM NHE3 and basolateral membrane recruitment of the bicarbonate transporter NBCe1. Both cAMP and carbachol recruited NKCC1 to the basolateral membrane of enterocytes, while luminal acid or HCO(3)(-) retained NKCC1 in intracellular vesicles. Luminal acid resulted in robust recruitment of CFTR and NBCe1 to their respective enterocyte membrane domains in the upper third of the villi; luminal HCO(3)(-) induced similar membrane changes lower in the villi. These findings indicate that each stimulus promotes a specific transporter trafficking response along the crypt-villus axis. This is the first demonstration that physiologically relevant secretory stimuli exert their actions in villus enterocytes by membrane recruitment of CFTR and NBCe1 in tandem with NHE3 internalization.

Abstract
A number of transport mechanisms in the colonic epithelium contribute to HCO₃⁻ movement across the apical and basolateral membranes, but this ion has been largely regarded as a by-product of the transport functions it is involved in, such as NaCl or short chain fatty acid (SCFA) absorption. However, emerging data points to several specific roles of HCO₃⁻ for colonic epithelial physiology, including pH control in the colonic surface microenvironment, which is important for transport and immune functions, as well as the secretion and the rheological properties of the mucus gel. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that colonic HCO₃⁻ transporters are expressed in a highly segmental as well as species-specific manner. This review summarizes recently gathered information on the functional anatomy of the colon, the roles of HCO₃⁻ in the colonic epithelium, colonic mucosal integrity, and the expression and function of HCO₃⁻ transporting mechanisms in health and disease.

Abstract
We examined the cell-specific subcellular expression patterns for sodium- and potassium-coupled chloride (NaK2Cl) cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), Na(+) bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) to understand the functional plasticity and synchronization of ion transport functions along the crypt-villus axis and its relevance to intestinal disease. In the unstimulated intestine, all small intestinal villus enterocytes coexpressed apical CFTR and NHE3, basolateral NBCe1, and mostly intracellular NKCC1. All (crypt and villus) goblet cells strongly expressed basolateral NKCC1 (at approximately three-fold higher levels than villus enterocytes), but no CFTR, NBCe1, or NHE3. Lower crypt cells coexpressed apical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but no NHE3 or NBCe1 (except NBCe1-expressing proximal colonic crypts). CFTR, NBCe1, and NKCC1 colocalized with markers of early and recycling endosomes, implicating endocytic recycling in cell-specific anion transport. Brunner's glands of the proximal duodenum coexpressed high levels of apical/subapical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but very low levels of NBCe1, consistent with secretion of Cl(-)-enriched fluid into the crypt. The cholinergic agonist carbachol rapidly (within 10 min) reduced cell volume along the entire crypt/villus axis and promoted NHE3 internalization into early endosomes. In contrast, carbachol induced membrane recruitment of NKCC1 and CFTR in all crypt and villus enterocytes, NKCC1 in all goblet cells, and NBCe1 in all villus enterocytes. These observations support regulated vesicle traffic in Cl(-) secretion by goblet cells and Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) secretion by villus enterocytes during the transient phase of cholinergic stimulation. Overall, the carbachol-induced membrane trafficking profile of the four ion transporters supports functional plasticity of the small intestinal villus epithelium that enables it to conduct both absorptive and secretory functions.

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
IRBIT (IP(3)Rs binding protein released with IP(3)) is a protein originally identified by the Mikoshiba group as an inhibitor of IP(3) receptors function. Subsequently it was found to have multiple functions and regulate the activity of diverse proteins, including regulation of HCO(3)(-) transporters to coordinate epithelial HCO(3)(-) secretion and to determine localization of the Fip1 subunit of the CPSF complex to regulate mRNA processing. This review highlights the remarkably divers functions of IRBIT that are likely only a fraction of all the potential functions of this protein.

Abstract
Anion secretion by colonic epithelium is dependent on apical CFTR-mediated anion conductance and basolateral ion transport. In many tissues, the NKCC1 Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter mediates basolateral Cl(-) uptake. However, additional evidence suggests that the AE2 Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, when coupled with the NHE1 Na(+)/H(+) exchanger or a Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC), contributes to HCO(3)(-) and/or Cl(-) uptake. To analyze the secretory functions of AE2 in proximal colon, short-circuit current (I(sc)) responses to cAMP and inhibitors of basolateral anion transporters were measured in muscle-stripped wild-type (WT) and AE2-null (AE2(-/-)) proximal colon. In physiological Ringer, the magnitude of cAMP-stimulated I(sc) was the same in WT and AE2(-/-) colon. However, the I(sc) response in AE2(-/-) colon exhibited increased sensitivity to the NKCC1 inhibitor bumetanide and decreased sensitivity to the distilbene derivative SITS (which inhibits AE2 and some NBCs), indicating that loss of AE2 results in a switch to increased NKCC1-supported anion secretion. Removal of HCO(3)(-) resulted in robust cAMP-stimulated I(sc) in both AE2(-/-) and WT colon that was largely mediated by NKCC1, whereas removal of Cl(-) resulted in sharply decreased cAMP-stimulated I(sc) in AE2(-/-) colon relative to WT controls. Inhibition of NHE1 had no effect on cAMP-stimulated I(sc) in AE2(-/-) colon but caused a switch to NKCC1-supported secretion in WT colon. Thus, in AE2(-/-) colon, Cl(-) secretion supported by basolateral NKCC1 is enhanced, whereas HCO(3)(-) secretion is diminished. These results show that AE2 is a component of the basolateral ion transport mechanisms that support anion secretion in the proximal colon.

Abstract
A Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) is located in the basolateral membrane of the gastrointestinal epithelium, where it imports HCO(3)(-) during stimulated anion secretion. Having previously demonstrated secretagogue activation of NBC in murine colonic crypts, we now asked whether vesicle traffic and exocytosis are involved in this process. Electrogenic NBCe1-B was expressed at significantly higher levels than electroneutral NBCn1 in colonic crypts as determined by QRT-PCR. In cell surface biotinylation experiments, a time-dependent increase in biotinylated NBCe1 was observed, which occurred with a peak of +54.8% after 20 min with forskolin (P < 0.05) and more rapidly with a peak of +59.8% after 10 min with carbachol (P < 0.05) and which corresponded well with the time course of secretagogue-stimulated colonic bicarbonate secretion in Ussing chamber experiments. Accordingly, in isolated colonic crypts pretreated with forskolin and carbachol for 10 min, respectively, and subjected to immunohistochemistry, the NBCe1 signal showed a markedly stronger colocalization with the E-cadherin signal, which was used as a membrane marker, compared with the untreated control. Cytochalasin D did not change the observed increase in membrane abundance, whereas colchicine alone enhanced NBCe1 membrane expression without an additional increase after carbachol or forskolin, and LY294002 had a marked inhibitory effect. Taken together, our results demonstrate a secretagogue-induced increase of NBCe1 membrane expression. Vesicle traffic and exocytosis might thus represent a novel mechanism of intestinal NBC activation by secretagogues.

Abstract
We examined membrane trafficking of NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B variants of the electrogenic Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBCe1) encoded by the SLC4A4 gene, using confocal fluorescent microscopy in rat parotid acinar cells (ParC5 and ParC10). We showed that yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged NBCe1-A and green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged NBCe1-B are colocalized with E-cadherin in the basolateral membrane (BLM) but not with the apical membrane marker zona occludens 1 (ZO-1). We inhibited constitutive recycling with monensin and W13 and detected that NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B accumulated in vesicles marked with the early endosomal marker early endosome antigen-1 (EEA1), with a parallel loss from the BLM. We observed that NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B undergo massive carbachol (CCh)-stimulated redistribution from the BLM into early endosomes. We showed that internalization of NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B was prevented by the general PKC inhibitor GF-109203X, the PKCalphabetagamma-specific inhibitor Gö-6976, and the PKCdelta-specific inhibitor rottlerin. We verified the involvement of PKCdelta by blocking CCh-induced internalization of NBCe1-A-cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) in cells transfected with dominant-negative kinase-dead (Lys376Arg) PKCdelta-GFP. Our data suggest that NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B undergo constitutive and CCh-stimulated endocytosis regulated by conventional PKCs (PKCalphabetagamma) and by novel PKCdelta in rat epithelial cells. To help develop a more complete model of the role of NBCe1 in parotid acinar cells we also investigated the initial phase of the secretory response to cholinergic agonist. In an Ussing chamber study we showed that inhibition of basolateral NBCe1 with 5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-(hydroxy-2-thienylmethylene)-2-oxo-1H-indole-1-carboxamide (tenidap) significantly decreases an initial phase of luminal anion secretion measured as a transient short-circuit current (I(sc)) across ParC10 cell monolayers. Using trafficking and functional data we propose a model that describes a physiological role of NBC in salivary acinar cell secretion.

Abstract
The four members of the NHERF (Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor) family of PDZ adapter proteins bind to a variety of membrane transporters and receptors and modulate membrane expression, mobility, interaction with other proteins, and the formation of signaling complexes. All four family members are expressed in the intestine. The CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) anion channel and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 (Na/H exchanger- isoform 3) are two prominent binding partners to this PDZ-adapter family, which are also known key players in the regulation of intestinal electrolyte and fluid transport. Experiments in heterologous expression systems have provided a number of mechanistic models how NHERF protein interactions can affect the function of their targets at the molecular level. Recently, NHERF1, 2, and 3 knockout mice have become available, and this review summarizes the reports on electrolyte and fluid transport regulation in the native intestine of these mice.

Abstract
The solute carrier 26 (SLC26) transporters are anion transporters with diverse substrate specificity. Several members are ubiquitous while others show limited tissue distribution. They are expressed in many epithelia and to the extent known, play a central role in anion secretion and absorption. Members of the family are primarily Cl- transporters, although some members transport mainly SO(4)2-, Cl-, HCO(3)- or I-. A defining feature of the family is their functional diversity. Slc26a1 and Slc26a2 function as specific SO(4)2- transporters while Slc26a4 functions as an electroneutral Cl-/I-/HCO(3)- exchanger. Slc26a3 and Slc26a6 function as coupled electrogenic Cl-/HCO(3)- exchangers or as bona fide anion channels. SLC26A7 and SLC26A9 function exclusively as Cl- channels. This short review discusses the functional diversity of the SLC26 transporters.

Abstract
Since little is known about the role of P2Y receptors (purinoceptors) in duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS), we sought to investigate the expression and function of these receptors in duodenal epithelium. Expression of P2Y(2) receptors was detected by RT-PCR in mouse duodenal epithelium and SCBN cells, a duodenal epithelial cell line. UTP, a P2Y(2)-receptor agonist, but not ADP (10 microM), significantly induced murine duodenal short-circuit current and DMBS in vitro; these responses were abolished by suramin (300 microM), a P2Y-receptor antagonist, or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB; 100 microM), a store-operated channel blocker. Mucosal or serosal addition of UTP induced a comparable DMBS in wild-type mice, but markedly impaired response occurred in P2Y(2) knockout mice. Acid-stimulated DMBS in vivo was significantly inhibited by suramin (1 mM) or PPADS (30 microM). Both ATP and UTP, but not ADP (1 microM), raised cytoplasmic-free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) with similar potencies in SCBN cells. ATP-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) was attenuated by U-73122 (10 microM), La(3+) (30 microM), or 2-APB (10 microM), but was not significantly affected by nifedipine (10 microM). UTP (1 microM) induced a [Ca(2+)](cyt) transient in Ca(2+)-free solutions, and restoration of external Ca(2+) (2 mM) raised [Ca(2+)](cyt) due to capacitative Ca(2+) entry. La(3+) (30 microM), SK&F96365 (30 microM), and 2-APB (10 microM) inhibited UTP-induced Ca(2+) entry by 92, 87, and 94%, respectively. Taken together, our results imply that activation of P2Y(2) receptors enhances DMBS via elevation of [Ca(2+)](cyt) that likely results from an initial increase in intracellular Ca(2+) release followed by extracellular Ca(2+) entry via store-operated channel.

Abstract
Background The renal (kNBC1) and intestinal (pNBC1) electrogenic Na+/HCO3- cotransporter variants differ in their primary structure, transport direction, and response to secretagogues. Previous studies have suggested that regulatory differences between the two subtypes can be partially explained by unique consensus phosphorylation sites included in the pNBC1, but not the kNBC1 sequence. After having shown activation of NBC by carbachol and forskolin in murine colon, we now investigated these pathways in HEK293 cells transiently expressing a GFP-tagged pNBC1 construct. Results Na+- and HCO3--dependent pHi recovery from an acid load (measured with BCECF) was enhanced by 5-fold in GFP-positive cells compared to the control cells in the presence of CO2/HCO3-. Forskolin (10-5 M) had no effect in untransfected cells, but inhibited the pHi recovery in cells expressing pNBC1 by 62%. After preincubation with carbachol (10-4 M), the pHi recovery was enhanced to the same degree both in transfected and untransfected cells, indicating activation of endogenous alkalizing ion transporters. Acid-activated Na+/HCO3- cotransport via pNBC1 expressed in renal cells is thus inhibited by cAMP and not affected by cholinergic stimulation, as opposed to the findings in native intestinal tissue. Conclusion Regulation of pNBC1 by secretagogues appears to be not solely dependent on its primary structure, but also on properties of the cell type in which it is expressed.

Abstract
Cholinergic agonists are major stimuli for fluid secretion in parotid acinar cells. Saliva bicarbonate is essential for maintaining oral health. Electrogenic and electroneutral Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporters (NBCe1 and NBCn1) are abundant in parotid glands. We previously reported that angiotensin regulates NBCe1 by endocytosis in Xenopus oocytes. Here, we studied cholinergic regulation of NBCe1 and NBCn1 membrane trafficking by confocal fluorescent microscopy and surface biotinylation in parotid epithelial cells. NBCe1 and NBCn1 colocalized with E-cadherin monoclonal antibody at the basolateral membrane (BLM) in polarized ParC5 cells. Inhibition of constitutive recycling with the carboxylic ionophore monensin or the calmodulin antagonist W-13 caused NBCe1 to accumulate in early endosomes with a parallel loss from the BLM, suggesting that NBCe1 is constitutively endocytosed. Carbachol and PMA likewise caused redistribution of NBCe1 from BLM to early endosomes. The PKC inhibitor, GF-109203X, blocked this redistribution, indicating a role for PKC. In contrast, BLM NBCn1 was not downregulated in parotid acinar cells treated with constitutive recycling inhibitors, cholinergic stimulators, or PMA. We likewise demonstrate striking differences in regulation of membrane trafficking of NBCe1 vs. NBCn1 in resting and stimulated cells. We speculate that endocytosis of NBCe1, which coincides with the transition to a steady-state phase of stimulated fluid secretion, could be a part of acinar cell adjustment to a continuous secretory response. Stable association of NBCn1 at the membrane may facilitate constitutive uptake of HCO(3)(-) across the BLM, thus supporting HCO(3)(-) luminal secretion and/or maintaining acid-base homeostasis in stimulated cells.

Abstract
Because human duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS) protects duodenum against acid-peptic injury, we hypothesize that estrogen stimulates DMBS, thereby attributing to the clinically observed lower incidence of duodenal ulcer in premenopausal women than the age-matched men. We found that basal and acid-stimulated DMBS responses were 1.5 and 2.4-fold higher in female than male mice in vivo, respectively. Acid-stimulated DMBS in both genders was abolished by ICI 182,780 and tamoxifen. Estradiol-17beta (E2) and the selective estrogen receptor (ER) agonists of ERalpha [1,3,5-Tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-propyl-1H-pyrazole] and ERbeta [2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionitrile], but not progesterone, rapidly stimulated ER-dependent murine DMBS in vivo. E2 dose dependently stimulated murine DMBS, which was attenuated by a Cl(-)/HCO3(-) anion exchanger inhibitor 4,4'-didsothio- cyanostilbene-2, 2'-disulfonic acid, removal of extracellular Cl(-), and in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator knockout female mice. E2 stimulated murine DMBS in vitro in both genders with significantly greater response in female than male mice (female to male ratio = 4.3). ERalpha and ERbeta mRNAs and proteins were detected in murine duodenal epithelium of both genders; however, neither ERalpha nor ERbeta mRNA and protein expression levels differed according to gender. E2 rapidly mobilized intracellular calcium in a duodenal epithelial SCBN cell line that expresses ERalpha and ERbeta, whereas BAPTA-AM abolished E2-stimulated murine DMBS. Thus, our data show that E2 stimulates DMBS via ER dependent mechanisms linked to intracellular calcium, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, and Cl(-)/HCO3(-) anion exchanger. Gender-associated differences in basal, acid- and E2-stimulated DMBS may have offered a reasonable explanation for the clinically observed lower incidence of duodenal ulcer in premenopausal women than age-matched men.

Abstract
We recently reported that ANG II inhibits NBCe1 current and surface expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes (Perry C, Blaine J, Le H, and Grichtchenko II. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 290: F417-F427, 2006). Here, we investigated mechanisms of ANG II-induced changes in NBCe1 surface expression. We showed that the PKC inhibitor GF109203X blocks and EGTA reduces surface cotransporter loss in ANG II-treated oocytes, suggesting roles for PKC and Ca(2+). Using the endosomal marker FM 4-64 and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged NBCe1, we showed that ANG II stimulates endocytosis of NBCe1. To eliminate the possibility that ANG II inhibits NBCe1 recycling, we demonstrated that the recycling inhibitor monensin decreases surface expression, accumulates NBCe1-EGFP in endosomes, and inhibits NBCe1 current. Monensin and ANG II applied together produce greater inhibition of NBCe1 current than either did alone. This additive effect of monensin and ANG II suggests that ANG II stimulates internalization of NBCe1. We used the calmodulin (CaM) antagonist W13, which controls recycling by blocking the exit of the endocytosed cargo from early endosomes, to determine the role of CaM in NBCe1 trafficking. We demonstrated that W13 decreases surface expression of NBCe1, accumulates NBCe1-EGFP in endosomal-like formations, and inhibits NBCe1 current. W13 and ANG II applied together produce greater inhibition of NBCe1 current than either does alone, while W13 and monensin applied together do not. The additive effect of ANG II and W13 and lack of additive effect of monensin and W13 suggest that CaM is not involved in ANG II stimulation of internalization but controls recycling of endocytosed NBCe1. The CaM-activated enzyme CaM kinase II (CaMKII) applied with ANG II also gives an additive inhibitory effect, suggesting a role for CaMKII in NBCe1 recycling.
