Separation of rabbit ileum mucus secretion from electrolyte and water secretion by cholera enterotoxin, verapamil and A23187.

Abstract:

:Net water, Na+, Cl- and HCO3- fluxes were measured in in vivo rabbit ileal loops, while mucus secretion was assessed by measuring the glycoprotein or total sialic acid secreted into the lumen, or by measuring the luminal fluid viscosity. Inoculating loops with cholera enterotoxin (CT) produced a sustained secretion of electrolytes and water, but a more transient secretion of mucus. A dose of verapamil was found which, when included in the luminal fluid, inhibited or delayed the CT-induced mucus secretion while not affecting the ongoing electrolyte and water secretion. Exposure of the ileal mucosa to the ionophore, A23187, in the presence of 2mM Ca++ resulted in a brief secretion of mucus, with no change in basal water absorption. Verapamil inhibited this A23187-induced mucus secretion. The ionophore was not effective in the absence of luminal Ca++. Thus rabbit ileum mucus secretion can be separated from electrolyte and water secretion by agents that affect Ca++ movement.
