Abstract
Sodium and chloride are the key factors maintaining normal osmotic pressure (OSM) and volume of the extracellular fluid, and influencing the acid-base balance of body fluids. The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Na+ and Cl- level on growth performance, excreta moisture, blood biochemical parameters, intestinal Na+-glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) messenger RNA (mRNA), and Na+-H+ exchanger 2 (NHE2) mRNA, and to estimate the optimal dietary sodium and chlorine level for yellow-feathered chickens from 22 to 42days. A total of 900 22-day-old Lingnan yellow-feathered male chickens were randomly allotted to five treatments, each of which included six replicates of 30 chickens per floor pen. The basal control diet was based on corn and soybean meal (without added NaCl and NaHCO3). Treatments 2 to 5 consisted of the basal diet supplemented with equal weights of Na+ and Cl-, constituting 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% of the diets. Supplemental dietary Na+ and Cl- improved the growth performance (P<0.05). Average daily gain (ADG) showed a quadratic broken-line regression to increasing dietary Na+ and Cl- (R2=0.979, P<0.001), and reached a plateau at 0.1%. Supplemental Na+ and Cl- increased (P<0.05) serum Na+ and OSM in serum and showed a quadratic broken-line regression (R2=0.997, P=0.004) at 0.11%. However, supplemental Na+ and Cl- decreased (P<0.05) serum levels of K+, glucose (GLU) and triglyceride. Higher levels of Na+and Cl- decreased duodenal NHE2 transcripts (P<0.05), but had no effect on ileal SGLT1 transcripts. The activity of Na+ /K+-ATPase in the duodenum decreased (P<0.05) with higher levels of dietary Na+ and Cl-. In conclusion, the optimal dietary Na+ and Cl- requirements for yellow-feathered chickens in the grower phase, from 22 to 42 days of age, to optimize ADG, serum Na+, OSM, K+ and GLU were 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.11%,0.17% and 0.16%, respectively, by regression analysis.

Abstract
The Slc9 family of Na+ /H+ exchangers (NHEs) plays a critical role in electroneutral exchange of Na+ and H+ in the mammalian intestine as well as other absorptive and secretory epithelia of digestive organs. These transport proteins contribute to the transepithelial Na+ and water absorption, intracellular pH and cellular volume regulation as well as the electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid volume homeostasis at the systemic level. They also influence the function of other membrane transport mechanisms, affect cellular proliferation and apoptosis as well as cell migration, adherence to the extracellular matrix, and tissue repair. Additionally, they modulate the extracellular milieu to facilitate other nutrient absorption and to regulate the intestinal microbial microenvironment. Na+ /H+ exchange is inhibited in selected gastrointestinal diseases, either by intrinsic factors (e.g., bile acids, inflammatory mediators) or infectious agents and associated bacterial toxins. Disrupted NHE activity may contribute not only to local and systemic electrolyte imbalance but also to the disease severity via multiple mechanisms. In this review, we describe the cation proton antiporter superfamily of Na+ /H+ exchangers with a particular emphasis on the eight SLC9A isoforms found in the digestive tract, followed by a more integrative description in their roles in each of the digestive organs. We discuss regulatory mechanisms that determine the function of Na+ /H+ exchangers as pertinent to the digestive tract, their regulation in pathological states of the digestive organs, and reciprocally, the contribution of dysregulated Na+ /H+ exchange to the disease pathogenesis and progression. © 2018 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The gut has great importance for the commercial success of poultry production. Numerous ion transporters, exchangers, and channels are present on both the apical and the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells, and their differential expression along the crypt-villus axis within the various intestinal segments ensures efficient intestinal absorption and effective barrier function. Recent studies have shown that intensive production systems, microbial exposure, and nutritional management significantly affect intestinal physiology and intestinal ion transport. Dysregulation of normal intestinal ion transport is manifested as diarrhoea, malabsorption, and intestinal inflammation resulting into poor production efficiency. This review discusses the basic mechanisms involved in avian intestinal ion transport and the impact of development during growth, nutritional and environmental alterations, and intestinal microbial infections on it. The effect of intestinal microbial infections on avian intestinal ion transport depends on factors such as host immunity, pathogen virulence, and the mucosal organisation of the particular intestinal segment.

Abstract
The SLC9 gene family encodes Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHEs). These transmembrane proteins transport ions across lipid bilayers in a diverse array of species from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals. They utilize the electrochemical gradient of one ion to transport another ion against its electrochemical gradient. Currently, 13 evolutionarily conserved NHE isoforms are known in mammals [22, 46, 128]. The SLC9 gene family (solute carrier classification of transporters: www.bioparadigms.org) is divided into three subgroups [46]. The SLC9A subgroup encompasses plasmalemmal isoforms NHE1-5 (SLC9A1-5) and the predominantly intracellular isoforms NHE6-9 (SLC9A6-9). The SLC9B subgroup consists of two recently cloned isoforms, NHA1 and NHA2 (SLC9B1 and SLC9B2, respectively). The SLC9C subgroup consist of a sperm specific plasmalemmal NHE (SLC9C1) and a putative NHE, SLC9C2, for which there is currently no functional data [46]. NHEs participate in the regulation of cytosolic and organellar pH as well as cell volume. In the intestine and kidney, NHEs are critical for transepithelial movement of Na(+) and HCO3(-) and thus for whole body volume and acid-base homeostasis [46]. Mutations in the NHE6 or NHE9 genes cause neurological disease in humans and are currently the only NHEs directly linked to human disease. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that members of this gene family contribute to the pathophysiology of multiple human diseases.

Abstract
Astroviruses are known to be a leading cause of diarrhea in infants and the immunocompromised; however, our understanding of this endemic pathogen is limited. Histological analyses of astrovirus pathogenesis demonstrate clinical disease is not associated with changes to intestinal architecture, inflammation, or cell death. Recent studies in vitro have suggested that astroviruses induce actin rearrangement leading to loss of barrier function. The current study used the type-2 turkey astrovirus (TAstV-2) and turkey poult model of astrovirus disease to examine how astrovirus infection affects the ultrastructure and electrophysiology of the intestinal epithelium. These data demonstrate that infection results in changes to the epithelial ultrastructure, rearrangement of F-actin, decreased absorption of sodium, as well as redistribution of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) from the membrane to the cytoplasm. Collectively, these data suggest astrovirus infection induces sodium malabsorption, possibly through redistribution of specific sodium transporters, which results in the development of an osmotic diarrhea.

Abstract
Prostaglandins stimulate repair of the ischemia-injured intestinal barrier in the porcine ileum through a mechanism involving cAMP-dependent Cl- secretion and inhibition of electroneutral Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) activity. In the present study, we focused on the role of individual NHE isoforms in the recovery of barrier function. Ischemia-injured porcine ileal mucosa was mounted on Ussing chambers. Short-circuit current (I(sc)), transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), and isotopic fluxes of 22Na were measured in response to PGE2 and selective inhibitors of epithelial NHE isoforms. Immunoassays were used to assess the expression of NHE isoforms. Forty-five minutes of intestinal ischemia resulted in a 45% reduction in TER (P < 0.01). Near-complete restitution occurred within 60 min. Inhibition of NHE2 with HOE-694 (25 microM) added to the mucosal surface of the injured ileum stimulated significant elevations in TER, independent of changes in I(sc) and histological evidence of restitution. Pharmacological inhibition of NHE3 or NHE1 with mucosal S-3226 (20 microM) or serosal cariporide (25 microM), respectively, had no effect. Ischemia-injured tissues treated with mucosal S-3226 or HOE-694 exhibited equivalent reductions in mucosal-to-serosal fluxes of 22Na+ (by approximately 35%) compared with nontreated ischemia-injured control tissues (P < 0.05). Intestinal ischemia resulted in increased expression of the cytoplasmic NHE regulatory factor EBP50 in NHE2 but not in NHE3 immunoprecipitates. Selective inhibition of NHE2, and not NHE3, induces recovery of barrier function in the ischemia-injured intestine.

Abstract
The mechanism of apical Na(+)-dependent H(+) extrusion in colonic crypts is controversial. With the use of confocal microscopy of the living mouse distal colon loaded with BCECF or SNARF-5F (fluorescent pH sensors), measurements of intracellular pH (pH(i)) in epithelial cells at either the crypt base or colonic surface were reported. After cellular acidification, the addition of luminal Na(+) stimulated similar rates of pH(i) recovery in cells at the base of distal colonic crypts of wild-type or Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 2 (NHE2)-null mice. In wild-type crypts, 20 microM HOE694 (NHE2 inhibitor) blocked 68-75% of the pH(i) recovery rate, whereas NHE2-null crypts were insensitive to HOE694, the NHE3-specific inhibitor S-1611 (20 microM), or the bicarbonate transport inhibitor 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS; 1 mM). A general NHE inhibitor, 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA; 20 microM), inhibited pH(i) recovery in NHE2-null mice (46%) but less strongly than in wild-type mice (74%), suggesting both EIPA-sensitive and -insensitive compensatory mechanisms. Transepithelial Na(+) leakage followed by activation of basolateral NHE1 could confound the outcomes; however, the rates of Na(+)-dependent pH(i) recovery were independent of transepithelial leakiness to lucifer yellow and were unchanged in NHE1-null mice. NHE2 was immunolocalized on apical membranes of wild-type crypts but not NHE2-null tissue. NHE3 immunoreactivity was near the colonic surface but not at the crypt base in NHE2-null mice. Colonic surface cells from wild-type mice demonstrated S1611- and HOE694-sensitive pH(i) recovery in response to luminal sodium, confirming a functional role for both NHE3 and NHE2 at this site. We conclude that constitutive absence of NHE2 results in a compensatory increase in a Na(+)-dependent, EIPA-sensitive acid extruder distinct from NHE1, NHE3, or SITS-sensitive transporters.

Abstract
The lower intestine (colon and coprodeum) of the domestic fowl maintains a very active, transporting epithelium, with a microvillus brush border, columnar epithelial cells, and a variety of transport systems. The colon of normal or high salt-acclimated hens expresses sodium-linked glucose and amino acid cotransporters, while the coprodeum is relatively inactive. Following acclimation to low salt diets, however, both colon and coprodeum shift to a pattern of high expression of electrogenic sodium channels, and the colonic cotransporter activity is simultaneously downregulated. These changes in the transport patterns seem to be regulated, at least in part, by aldosterone. Our recent work with this tissue has focused on whether aldosterone alone can account for the low salt pattern of transport. Other work has looked at the changes in morphology and in proportions of cell types that occur during chronic acclimation to high or low salt diets, and on a cAMP-activated chloride secretion pathway. Recent findings suggesting effects of other hormones on lower intestinal transport are also presented.

Abstract
More than 200 genes annotated as Na+/H+ hydrogen exchangers (NHEs) currently reside in bioinformation databases such as GenBank and Pfam. We performed detailed phylogenetic analyses of these NHEs in an effort to better understand their specific functions and physiological roles. This analysis initially required examining the entire monovalent cation proton antiporter (CPA) superfamily that includes the CPA1, CPA2, and NaT-DC families of transporters, each of which has a unique set of bacterial ancestors. We have concluded that there are nine human NHE (or SLC9A) paralogs as well as two previously unknown human CPA2 genes, which we have named HsNHA1 and HsNHA2. The eukaryotic NHE family is composed of five phylogenetically distinct clades that differ in subcellular location, drug sensitivity, cation selectivity, and sequence length. The major subgroups are plasma membrane (recycling and resident) and intracellular (endosomal/TGN, NHE8-like, and plant vacuolar). HsNHE1, the first cloned eukaryotic NHE gene, belongs to the resident plasma membrane clade. The latter is the most recent to emerge, being found exclusively in vertebrates. In contrast, the intracellular clades are ubiquitously distributed and are likely precursors to the plasma membrane NHE. Yeast endosomal ScNHX1 was the first intracellular NHE to be described and is closely related to HsNHE6, HsNHE7, and HsNHE9 in humans. Our results link the appearance of NHE on the plasma membrane of animal cells to the use of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase to generate the membrane potential. These novel observations have allowed us to use comparative biology to predict physiological roles for the nine human NHE paralogs and to propose appropriate model organisms in which to study the unique properties of each NHE subclass.

Abstract
Gallbladder Na(+) absorption is linked to gallstone formation in prairie dogs. We previously reported Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1-3) expression in native gallbladder tissues. Here we report the functional characterization of NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 in primary cultures of prairie dog gallbladder epithelial cells (GBECs). Immunohistochemical studies showed that GBECs grown to confluency are homogeneous epithelial cells of gastrointestinal origin. Electron microscopic analysis of GBECs demonstrated that the cells form polarized monolayers characterized by tight junctions and apical microvilli. GBECs grown on Snapwells exhibited polarity and developed transepithelial short-circuit current, I(sc), (11.6 +/- 0.5 microA. cm(-2)), potential differences, V(t) (2.1 +/- 0.2 mV), and resistance, R(t) (169 +/- 12 omega. cm(2)). NHE activity in GBECs assessed by measuring dimethylamiloride-inhibitable (22)Na(+) uptake under a H(+) gradient was the same whether grown on permeable Snapwells or plastic wells. The basal rate of (22)Na(+) uptake was 21.4 +/- 1.3 nmol x mg prot(-1) x min(-1), of which 9.5 +/- 0.7 (approximately 45%) was mediated through apically-restricted NHE. Selective inhibition with HOE-694 revealed that NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 accounted for approximately 6%, approximately 66% and approximately 28% of GBECs' total NHE activity, respectively. GBECs exhibited saturable NHE kinetics ( V(max) 9.2 +/- 0.3 nmol x mg prot(-1) x min(-1); K(m) 11.4 +/- 1.4 m M Na(+)). Expression of NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 mRNAs was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis. These results demonstrate that the primary cultures of GBECs exhibit Na(+) transport characteristics similar to native gallbladder tissues, suggesting that these cells can be used as a tool for studying the mechanisms of gallbladder ion transport both under physiologic conditions and during gallstone formation.

Abstract
The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform NHE2 is highly expressed in the intestinal tract, but its physiological role has remained obscure. The aim of this study was to define its expression, location, and regulatory properties in murine colon and to look for the compensatory changes in NHE2 (-/-) colon that allow normal histology and absorptive function. To this end, we measured murine proximal colonic surface and crypt cell NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 expression levels, transport rates in response to acid, hyperosmolarity and cAMP in murine proximal colonic crypts, as well as changes in transcript levels and acid-activated NHE activity in NHE2 (-/-) crypts. We found that NHE2 was expressed most abundantly in crypts, NHE1 equally in crypts and surface cells, and NHE3 much stronger in surface cells. NHE2, like NHE1, was activated by low intracellular pH (pH(i)), hyperosmolarity, and cAMP, whereas NHE3 was activated only by low pH(i). Crypts isolated from NHE2 (-/-) mice displayed increased acid-activated NHE1- and NHE3-attributable Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity, no change in NHE1 expression, and NHE3 expression levels twice as high as in normal littermates. No change in cellular ultrastructure was found in NHE2 (-/-) colon. Our results demonstrate high NHE2 expression in the crypts and suggest a role for NHE2 in cryptal pH(i) and volume homeostasis.

Abstract
Colonic crypts can absorb fluid, but the identity of the absorptive transporters remains speculative. Near the crypt base, the epithelial cells responsible for vectorial transport are relatively undifferentiated and often presumed to mediate only Cl- secretion. We have applied confocal microscopy in combination with an extracellular fluid marker [Lucifer yellow (LY)] or a pH-sensitive dye (2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein) to study mouse colonic crypt epithelial cells directly adjacent to the crypt base within an intact mucosal sheet. Measurements of intracellular pH report activation of colonocyte Na+/H+ exchange in response to luminal or serosal Na+. Studies with LY demonstrate the presence of a paracellular fluid flux, but luminal Na+ does not activate Na+/H+ exchange in the nonepithelial cells of the lamina propria, and studies with LY suggest that the fluid bathing colonocyte basolateral membranes is rapidly refreshed by serosal perfusates. The apical Na+/H+ exchange in crypt colonocytes is inhibited equivalently by luminal 20 microM ethylisopropylamiloride and 20 microM HOE-694 but is not inhibited by luminal 20 microM S-1611. Immunostaining reveals the presence of epitopes from NHE1 and NHE2, but not NHE3, in epithelial cells near the base of colonic crypts. Comparison of apical Na+/H+ exchange activity in the presence of Cl- with that in the absence of Cl- (substitution by gluconate or nitrate) revealed no evidence of the Cl--dependent Na+/H+ exchange that had been previously reported as the sole apical Na+/H+ exchange activity in the colonic crypt. Results suggest the presence of an apical Na+/H+ exchanger near the base of crypts with functional attributes similar to those of the cloned NHE2 isoform.

Abstract
In the chicken intestine, the reduction in Na(+) intake led to a decrease in the transport of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside in the ileum (reduction of 42%) and in the rectum (51%). These reductions were reversed within 24 h after resalination and were inversely correlated to the changes in aldosterone plasma concentration. The reduction in intestinal hexose transport in the low Na(+)-fed animals was due to a decrease in the number of Na(+)-dependent D-glucose cotransporters (SGLT1) in the rectum (46%) and in the ileum (38%). Northern blot analysis showed that specific SGLT1 mRNA was expressed in the jejunum, ileum, and rectum. The amount of SGLT1 mRNA was the same in all intestinal regions and was not affected by Na(+) intake, supporting the view that the effects of dietary Na(+) on intestinal hexose transport involve posttranscriptional regulation of SGLT1. This study suggests that changes in SGLT1 expression may be involved in the homeostasis of Na(+).

Abstract
The Na(+)-dependent glucose transporter SGLT1 and the facilitated fructose transporter GLUT5 absorb sugars from the intestinal lumen across the brush-border membrane into the cells. The activity of these transport systems is known to be regulated primarily by diet and development. The cloning of these transporters has led to a surge of studies on cellular mechanisms regulating intestinal sugar transport. However, the small intestine can be a difficult organ to study, because its cells are continuously differentiating along the villus, and because the function of absorptive cells depends on both their state of maturity and their location along the villus axis. In this review, I describe the typical patterns of regulation of transport activity by dietary carbohydrate, Na(+) and fibre, how these patterns are influenced by circadian rhythms, and how they vary in different species and during development. I then describe the molecular mechanisms underlying these regulatory patterns. The expression of these transporters is tightly linked to the villus architecture; hence, I also review the regulatory processes occurring along the crypt-villus axis. Regulation of glucose transport by diet may involve increased transcription of SGLT1 mainly in crypt cells. As cells migrate to the villus, the mRNA is degraded, and transporter proteins are then inserted into the membrane, leading to increases in glucose transport about a day after an increase in carbohydrate levels. In the SGLT1 model, transport activity in villus cells cannot be modulated by diet. In contrast, GLUT5 regulation by the diet seems to involve de novo synthesis of GLUT5 mRNA synthesis and protein in cells lining the villus, leading to increases in fructose transport a few hours after consumption of diets containing fructose. In the GLUT5 model, transport activity can be reprogrammed in mature enterocytes lining the villus column. Innovative experimental approaches are needed to increase our understanding of sugar transport regulation in the small intestine. I close by suggesting specific areas of research that may yield important information about this interesting, but difficult, topic.

Abstract
The expression of NHE2 and NHE3 on intestinal-brush border membranes suggests that both Na(+)/H(+) exchangers serve absorptive functions. Studies with knockout mice showed that the loss of NHE3, but not NHE2, causes diarrhea, demonstrating that NHE3 is the major absorptive exchanger and indicating that any remaining absorptive capacity contributed by NHE2 is not sufficient to compensate fully for the loss of NHE3. To test the hypothesis that NHE2 provides partial compensation for the diarrheal state of NHE3-deficient mice, we crossed doubly heterozygous mice carrying null mutations in the Nhe2 and Nhe3 genes and analyzed the phenotypes of their offspring. The additional loss of NHE2 in NHE3-deficient mice caused no apparent reduction in viability, no further impairment of systemic acid-base status or increase in aldosterone levels, and no apparent worsening of the diarrheal state. These in vivo phenotypic correlates of the absorptive defect suggest that the NaCl, HCO, and fluid absorption that is dependent on apical Na(+)/H(+) exchange is due overwhelmingly to the activity of NHE3, with little contribution from NHE2.

Abstract
The Na(+)/H(+) exchangers NHE2 and NHE3 are involved in epithelial Na(+) and HCO absorption. To increase insights into the functions of NHE2 vs. NHE3, we compared their cellular processing with each other and with the housekeeping isoform NHE1. Using biotinylated exchanger, we determined that the half-life of plasma membrane NHE2 was short (3 h) compared with that of NHE1 (24 h) and NHE3 (14 h) in both PS120 fibroblasts and Caco-2 cells. NHE2 transport and plasma membrane levels were reduced by 3 h of Brefeldin A treatment, whereas NHE1 was unaffected. NHE2 was degraded by the lysosomes but not proteosomes, as demonstrated by increasing levels of endocytosed NHE2 protein after inhibition of the lysosomes, but not with proteosome inhibition. Unlike that of NHE3, basal NHE2 transport activity was not affected by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibition and did not appear to be localized in the juxtanuclear recycling endosome. Therefore, for NHE2, protein degradation and/or protein synthesis probably play important roles in its basal and regulated states. These results suggest fundamental differences in the cellular processing and trafficking of NHE2 and NHE3. These differences may underlie the specialized roles that these exchangers play in epithelial cells.

Abstract
The Na+/H+ exchanger NHE4 was cloned from a rat stomach cDNA library and shown to be expressed predominantly in the stomach and less dramatically in the kidney. The role and precise localization of NHE4 in the kidney are still unknown. A polyclonal antibody against a unique NHE4 decapeptide was used for immunohistochemistry in rat kidney. Simultaneous use of antibodies to Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein and aquaporin-2 or -3 permitted identification of thick ascending limbs and collecting ducts, respectively. The results indicate that NHE4 is highly expressed in basolateral membranes of thick ascending limb and distal convoluted tubule, whereas collecting ducts from cortex to inner medulla and proximal tubules showed weaker basolateral NHE4 expression. Western blot analysis of NHE4 in membrane fractions prepared from the inner stripe of the outer medulla revealed the presence of a 95-kDa protein that was enriched in basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from medullary thick ascending limbs. The inhibition curve of H+-activated (22)Na uptake by 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA) was consistent with the presence, beyond the EIPA high-affinity NHE1 isoform, of an EIPA low-affinity NHE with apparent half-maximal inhibition of 2.5 microM. Kinetic analyses showed that the extracellular Na+ dependence of NHE4 activity followed a simple hyperbolic relationship, with an apparent affinity constant of 12 mM. Intravesicular H+ activated NHE4 by a positive cooperative mechanism. NHE4 had an unusual low affinity for intravesicular H+ with a half-maximal activation value of pK 6.21. We conclude that NHE4, like NHE1, is expressed on the basolateral membrane of multiple nephron segments. Nevertheless, these two proteins exhibited dramatically different affinities for intracellular H+, suggesting that they may play distinct physiological roles in the kidney.

Abstract
Transport in the colon of the domestic fowl switches from sodium-linked hexose and amino acid cotransport on high-salt intake to amiloride-sensitive sodium channel expression on low-salt (LS) diets. The present experiments were designed to investigate the role of aldosterone in suppression of the colonic sodium-glucose luminal cotransporter (SGLT). LS-adapted hens were resalinated with or without simultaneous aldosterone treatment. Changes in the electrophysiological responses and SGLT protein expression levels were examined at 1, 3, and 7 days of treatment. Serum aldosterone levels fell from approximately 400 pmol/l in LS-adapted hens to values below the detection limit (<44 pmol/l) after 1 day of resalination. At the same time, glucose-stimulated short circuit current (I(SC)) increased from 20.9 +/- 8.7 to 56.3 +/- 15.5 microA/cm(2), whereas amiloride-sensitive I(SC) decreased from -68.9 +/- 12.7 microA/cm(2) on LS to +0.6 +/- 12.0 microA/cm(2). Glucose-stimulated I(SC) increased further at 3 and 7 days of resalination, whereas amiloride-sensitive I(SC) remained suppressed. When resalinated birds were simultaneously treated with aldosterone, the LS pattern of high amiloride-sensitive I(SC) and low glucose-stimulated I(SC) was maintained. Immunoblotting results from the same tissues demonstrated that SGLT-like protein expression increased following resalination. Aldosterone treatment completely blocked this effect. These results demonstrate that aldosterone suppresses both activity and protein expression of hen colonic SGLT. Resalination either through decreased aldosterone or other factors may be able to activate SGLT activity independently of increases in protein expression.

Abstract
1. In chickens, low Na+ diets markedly decrease the hexose transport in the rectal segment of the large intestine; transport in the ileum shows a lower, but significant reduction and transport in the jejunum is unaffected. These effects involve both apical (SGLT1) and basolateral (GLUT2) hexose transporters. 2. The role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis (RAAS) in the epithelial response to Na+ intake was studied in chickens fed high-NaCl (HS) and low-NaCl (LS) diets. The V(max) of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside and D-glucose were determined in vesicles from the brush-border (BBMVs) and basolateral (BLMVs) membranes, respectively. The binding of phlorizin to BBMV and cytochalasin B to BLMV were used as indicators of the abundance of SGLT1 and GLUT2, respectively. 3. In HS-adapted chickens, the serum concentration of aldosterone (means +/- S.E.M.) was 35 +/- 5 pg ml(-1) (n = 6) and that of renin was 20 +/- 2 ng ml(-1) (n = 3). In LS-fed birds, these values were 166 +/- 12 pg ml(-1) (n = 6) and 122 +/- 5 ng ml(-1) (n = 3), respectively. Administration of captopril, the inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), to LS-chickens lowered the aldosterone serum concentration without affecting the renin concentration. Captopril also prevented the reduction of apical and basolateral hexose transport in ileum and rectum characteristic of the intestinal response to LS adaptation. 4. Administration of the aldosterone antagonist spironolactone to LS-adapted chickens did not affect the serum concentrations of aldosterone, but prevented the effects of LS intake on hexose transport in both apical and basolateral membranes. This suggests that the effects of aldosterone are mediated by cytosolic mineralcorticoid receptors. 5. Administration of exogenous aldosterone to HS-fed birds induced hexose transport and binding properties typical of the LS-adapted animals. These findings support the view that aldosterone, besides its primary role in controlling intestinal Na+ absorption, can also modulate the expression of apical and basolateral glucose transporters in the chicken distal intestine.

Abstract
The proximal duodenal mucosa secretes HCO that serves to protect the epithelium from injury. In isolated human duodenal enterocytes in vitro, multiple luminal membrane proteins are involved in acid/base transport. We postulated that one or more isoforms of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) family is located on the apical surface of human duodenal mucosal epithelial cells and thereby contributes to duodenal mucosal HCO transport. Duodenal biopsies were obtained from human volunteers, and the presence of NHE2 and NHE3 was determined by using previously characterized polyclonal antibodies (Ab 597 for NHE2 and Ab 1381 for NHE3). In addition, proximal duodenal mucosal HCO(3)(-) transport was measured in humans in vivo in response to luminal perfusion of graded doses of amiloride; 10(-5)--10(-4) M amiloride was used to inhibit NHE2 and 10(-3) M amiloride to inhibit NHE3. Both NHE2 and NHE3 were localized principally to the brush border of duodenal villus cells. Sequential doses of amiloride resulted in significant, step-wise increases in net duodenal HCO(3)(-) output. Inhibition of NHE2 with 10(-5) M and 10(-4) M amiloride significantly increased net HCO(3)(-) output. Moreover, there was an additional, equivalent increase (P < 0.05) in duodenal HCO(3)(-) output with 10(-3) M amiloride, which inhibited NHE3. We conclude that 1) NHE2 and NHE3 are localized principally to the brush border of human duodenal villus epithelial cells; 2) sequential inhibition of NHE2 and NHE3 isoforms resulted in step-wise increases in net HCO(3)(-) output; 3) NHE2 and NHE3 participate in human duodenal villus cell HCO(3)(-) transport; and 4) the contribution of NHE-related transport events should be considered when studying duodenal HCO(3)(-) transport processes.

Abstract
The effects of aldosterone and arginine vasotocin (AVT) on intestinal Na(+)/H(+) exchange (NHE) and Na(+)-sugar cotransport (SGLT-1) activities have been investigated using brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from Hubbard chicken small and large intestines, and they were compared with those induced by either Na(+) depletion or dehydration. Na(+) depletion was induced by feeding the chickens with either a low- or a high-Na(+) diet for either 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8 days. Ileal and colonic NHE2 activity increased with the duration of the Na(+) depletion, whereas that of intestinal SGLT-1 decreased, reaching a plateau after 2 days of treatment. Three-hour incubation of the intestine with aldosterone produced the same effects on NHE activity as does Na(+) depletion, without altering SGLT-1 activity. However, 3-h incubation of the intestine with AVT increased intestinal SGLT-1 activity, without affecting intestinal NHE activity. It is concluded that aldosterone regulates apical ileal and colonic NHE2 activity, whereas that of SGLT-1 is regulated by AVT.

Abstract
1. The effect of a low-NaCl diet (LS diet) on the properties of hexose transport across the brush-border and basolateral membranes of enterocytes from jejunum, ileum and rectum of the chicken was investigated. 2. In the brush-border membrane, LS adaptation had no effect on Km for alpha-methyl-D-glucoside while Vmax values were significantly reduced in the ileum and in the rectum. All Scatchard plots of specific [3H]phlorizin binding give a straight line, consistent with a single population of binding sites. Phlorizin binding vs. alpha-methyl-D-glucoside maximal transport rates showed a linear correlation. 3. In the basolateral membrane, the LS diet did not modify the Km for D-glucose but reduced the Vmax in the ileum and in the rectum. Scatchard plots of [3H]cytochalasin B binding support the view that there is a single transport system in this membrane. There was a linear correlation between cytochalasin B binding and D-glucose Vmax values. 4. The response of the chicken intestine to LS intake consists of a dramatic reduction in the number of glucose transporters in both apical and basolateral membranes of the rectum, an intermediate response in the ileum and no significant effects in the jejunum.
