Active potassium transport by rabbit descending colon epithelium

Abstract: Previous studies of rabbit descending colon have disagreed concerning potassium transport across this epithelium. Some authors reported active K+ secretion under in vitro short-circuited conditions, while others suggested that K+ transport occurs by passive diffusion through a highly potassium-selective paracellular route. For this reason, we re-examined potassium fluxes across the colon in the presence of specific and general metabolic inhibitors. In addition, electrochemical driving forces for potassium acro… Show more

“…Studies of colonic potassium transport in rat, rabbit, and guinea pig have established that active K absorption is present in the distal, but not proximal, large intestine and is energized by an apical membrane K-ATPase (9,10,(17)(18)(19). Both active K absorption and K-ATPase activity are partially inhibited by ouabain, and functional studies strongly suggest that there may be two active K absorption/K-ATPase systems, e.g., one that is inhibited by ouabain and the other that is ouabain insensitive (10,11).…”

“…(Table I) with Ki's of 8.3 and 13.6 MM, respectively (data not shown). In addition, SCH 28080, a potent inhibitor of gastric H,K-ATPase activity, inhibited K-ATPase activity in Sf 9 cells and colonic apical membranes by 18 and 24%, respectively (Table I).…”

“…This has been suggested to be mediated by (Na+ +K+)-ATPase, since ouabain added to the serosal side inhibits active K+ secretion (WILLS and BIAGI, 1982;MCCABE et al, 1982MCCABE et al, , 1984PLASS et al, 1986;SULLIVAN and SMITH, 1986). For (Na+ +K+)-ATPase to support the K+ uptake, a continuous supply of Na + into the cell might be necessary.…”

“…It is proposed that K+ uptake across the basolateral membrane is active and mediated by (Na+ +K+)-ATPase since ouabain added to the serosal side has been shown to inhibit K + secretion (WILLS and BIAGI, 1982;MCCABE et al, 1982MCCABE et al, , 1984PLASS et al, 1986;SULLIVAN and SMITH, 1986). In addition, the increases in K + secretion induced by dietary-K + loading or Na + deprivation are associated with an increase in (Na + + K + )-ATPase activity of colonic epithelium (FISI-mR et al, 1976;HAYSLETT et al, 1980;KASHGARIAN et al, 1980).…”

“…(11) and frog skin (12). Several investigators (3,(13)(14)(15) have reported that the luminal membranes of some segments of the intestinal tract and the distal nephron have a high K+ permeability. These epithelia normally secrete K+ but are capable of active K+ absorption under the appropriate conditions (1-6).…”
