Altered ion transport and responsiveness to methacholine and hyperosmolarity in air interface-cultured guinea-pig tracheal epithelium.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:Challenge of guinea-pig tracheal epithelium with hyperosmolar solution alters ion transport and evokes the release of epithelium-derived relaxing factor (EpDRF). Cultured tracheal epithelial cells (CE) offer the potential to examine biochemical pathways related to EpDRF release, but whether the bioelectric properties and responses of fresh, adherent epithelial cells (FE) are modeled by CE has not been established. METHODS:Tracheal epithelial cells grown in air-interface culture and fresh tracheal segments were mounted in Ussing chambers to determine short circuit current (I(sc)) and transepithelial resistance (R(t)) and to compare responses to transport inhibitors, methacholine and hyperosmolarity. RESULTS:Significant differences in basal I(sc) and R(t) between FE and CE were observed (I(sc), 41.3+/-3.5 and 8.5+/-0.8 microA/cm(2), P<0.05; R(t), 106+/-7 and 422+/-4 Omega cm(2), P<0.05; respectively); basal spontaneous potential difference values were not different (4.2+/-0.3 and 3.4+/-0.3 mV, respectively). Amiloride (mucosal, 3 x 10(-5) M), bumetanide (basolateral, 10(-5) M) and ouabain (basolateral, 10(-5) M) reduced I(sc) equally in FE and CE. In contrast, NPPB (10(-5) M) in the presence of amiloride had a differential effect, decreasing I(sc) by 11% in FE and 71% in CE (P<0.05). Iberiotoxin (basolateral, 10(-7) M) was without effect in either preparation. In FE, serosal methacholine (3x10(-5) M) elicited an NPPB-insensitive monotonic increase in I(sc), but in CE caused a large, transient, NPPB-inhibitable increase which was followed by an NPPB-resistant plateau. Addition of apical D-mannitol (0.3-267 mosM) to increase osmolarity decreased I(sc) in FE, whereas in CE d-mannitol initially increased (0.3-84.3 mosM) and then decreased (84.3-267 mosM) I(sc). DISCUSSION:Cell culture causes substantial changes in the bioelectric and pharmacological properties of respiratory epithelium. Caution should be exercised when using CE as a substitute for FE in studies of ion transport- and cell volume-dependent processes.
