Absorptive transport of amino acids by the rat colon

Abstract: The capacity of the colon to absorb microbially produced amino acids (AAs) and the underlying mechanisms of AA transport are incompletely defined. We measured the profile of 16 fecal AAs along the rat ceco-colonic axis and compared unidirectional absorptive AA fluxes across mucosal tissues isolated from the rat jejunum, cecum, and proximal colon using an Ussing chamber approach, in conjunction with 1H-NMR and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry chemical analyses. Passage of stool from cec… Show more

“…Located in the apical membrane of colonocytes in the absorptive epithelium ( D’Argenio et al, 2006 ; Gupta et al, 2005 ; Hatanaka et al, 2002 ; Ugawa et al, 2001 ), ATB 0,+ absorbs mixtures of amino acids issues from the bacterial proteolysis taking place in the outer mucus layer and lumen of the colon, and ATB 0,+ clearance of nutrients helps to maintaining an apparent sterility of the adherent inner mucus layer ( Atuma et al, 2001 ; Johansson et al, 2008 ; Jakobsson et al, 2015 ; Li et al, 2015 ; Chen et al, 2020 ).…”

“…As over 90 % of NaCl and water that enter the cecum are reabsorbed in the proximal colon ( Phillips, 1969 ; Thiagarajah and Verkman, 2018 ; Sandle, 1998 ), considerably lower [Na + ] (~15 mM) and [Cl − ] (<10 mM) have been measured at the surface of the rat distal colon ( Talbot and Lytle, 2010 ; Chen et al, 2020 ). If these concentrations correspond to those of the thin mucus layer, then a 3 Na + -coupling is not an option but a requirement for ATB 0,+ in order to provide enough driving force for an uphill transport of amino acids since it would be minimal or even not possible otherwise ( Chen et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In addition to small intestine, the large intestine, where the bulk of gut microbiome reside, is a significant site of amino acid absorption. 1 H-NMR studies indicate that the rate of transfer of free amino acids across cecum and colon are comparable to the transfer rates across small intestine and that the expression of amino acid transporters is at least as abundant as or higher than that in small intestine ( 38 ). Studies in mice show that elemental diets with free amino acids not only alter the microbiome profile adherent to colonic mucosa and in feces, but also reduce bowel inflammation in a colitis model ( 39 , 40 ).…”
