The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) provides the main absorptive pathway of the distal large intestine. This study aimed to characterize regulatory influences of cytokines in rat late distal colon. After 6 h incubation with either IL1beta, TNFalpha, IFNgamma, or combinations of TNFalpha and IFNgamma, ENaC was measured as electrogenic Na+ transport after 8 h induction by 3 nM aldosterone (J(Na)) in totally stripped specimens in the Ussing chamber. Subsequently, alpha-, beta-, and gamma-ENaC subunit mRNAs were analyzed by Northern blotting. The gamma-ENaC promoter was cloned and characterized by reporter gene assays. IL-1beta and TNFalpha, but not interferon-gamma, decreased J(Na). In parallel, beta- and gamma-ENaC transcription was inhibited, whereas alpha-ENaC was unaffected. gamma-ENaC promoter activity was inhibited by IL-1beta and TNFalpha but not by IFNgamma. We conclude that the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and TNFalpha inhibit electrogenic sodium absorption in rat distal colon by mRNA expression regulation of the beta- and gamma-ENaC subunits.
