DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central objective of this project is to determine the mechanisms regulating Cl- and K+ channels involved in active Cl- and K+ secretion across the mammalian colonic epithelium, since these channels are key elements in stimulating these distinct modes of ion secretion; Mucosal secretory responses are a balance between activator and repressor pathways. Secretory diarrhea can result from a pathophysiologic stimulation of crypt epithelial cells, which actively secrete Cl- and K+ in response to increased intracellular cAMP. Conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and cystic fibrosis also lead to altered ion and water transport via actions at these secretory epithelial cells. Inappropriate inhibitions of repressor pathways, in particular, are a likely source of secretory diarrhea for patients with ulcerative colitis. The working model is that active secretory processes for Cl- and K+ occur in columnar cells of the colonic crypt epithelium, such that these cells are a locus of dysfunction in many gastrointestinal diseases. Ion channels involved in Cl- and K+ secretion will be examined using patch-clamp electrophysiologic techniques to record membrane ionic currents. Recordings from isolated crypts allow study of both apical and basolateral membrane channels as well as the second messengers controlling ion channel activity. Fluorescent probes will be used to monitor involvement of cell Ca++ and pH as second messengers controlling ion channels. The specific aims are to determine regulatory mechanisms for the basolateral membrane K+ channels, the Cl- basolateral membrane channels and the apical membrane K+ and Cl- channels involved in fluid secretion. The long-term objective is to determine the regulatory mechanisms acting on the multiple secretory functions of intestinal epithelial cells during physiologic stimulation. These distinct modes of ion channel control are the basis for excessive and impaired secretory functions that occur in secretory diarrhea, ulcerative colitis and cystic fibrosis. The close relationship between prostaglandin stimulation of secretion and inflammatory responses provides an opportunity to develop pharmaceutical agents that differentially target the prostanoid receptor subtypes involved. Differences in the ion channel types supporting each mode of secretion also can be exploited to develop further agents for selective clinical intervention, without producing deleterious side effects. Thus, this project will lead to greater insight into the regulatory control of colonic fluid secretion and likely to therapeutic interventions for patients with life-threatening secretory activity.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的核心目的是确定调节跨哺乳动物结肠上皮的活性CL-和K+分泌的CL-和K+通道的机制，因为这些通道是刺激这些独特的离子分泌模式的关键要素；粘膜分泌反应是激活因子和阻遏途径之间的平衡。分泌性腹泻可能是由于对隐窝上皮细胞的病理生理刺激而产生的，这些刺激会积极分泌Cl-和K+，以响应增加的细胞内cAMP。炎症性肠病和囊性纤维化等疾病也会导致通过这些分泌上皮细胞的作用改变离子和水运输。尤其是对阻遏途径的不当抑制作用，对于溃疡性结肠炎患者而言，可能是分泌性腹泻的根源。工作模型是，Cl-和K+的活性分泌过程发生在结肠隐窝上皮的柱状细胞中，因此这些细胞在许多胃肠道疾病中都是功能障碍的基因座。将使用斑块钳电生理技术来检查参与CL-和K+分泌的离子通道以记录膜离子电流。来自孤立的隐窝的记录允许研究顶端和基底外侧膜通道以及控制离子通道活动的第二个使者。荧光探针将用于监测细胞Ca ++和pH的参与，作为控制离子通道的第二个使者。具体目的是确定基底外侧膜K+通道，Cl-基底外侧膜通道以及涉及流体分泌的Cl-通道的调节机制。长期目标是确定在生理刺激过程中作用于肠上皮细胞多重分泌功能的调节机制。这些不同的离子通道控制模式是分泌性腹泻，溃疡性结肠炎和囊性纤维化中出现的过度和受损分泌功能的基础。前列腺素刺激的分泌和炎症反应之间的密切关系为开发药物剂差异针对前列腺素受体亚型的药物提供了机会。也可以利用支持每种分泌模式的离子通道类型的差异，以开发出更多的选择性临床干预的药物，而不会产生有害的副作用。因此，该项目将使对结肠液分泌的调节控制有更多的了解，并可能针对威胁生命的分泌活动患者进行治疗干预措施。
