The mechanism of apical Na+-dependent H+ extrusion in colonic crypts is controversial. With the use of confocal microscopy of the living mouse distal colon loaded with BCECF or SNARF-5F (fluorescent pH sensors), measurements of intracellular pH (pH(i)) in epithelial cells at either the crypt base or colonic surface were reported. After cellular acidification, the addition of luminal Na+ stimulated similar rates of pHi recovery in cells at the base of distal colonic crypts of wild-type or Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 2 (NHE2)-null mice. In wild-type crypts, 20 mu M HOE694 (NHE2 inhibitor) blocked 68-75% of the pHi recovery rate, whereas NHE2-null crypts were insensitive to HOE694, the NHE3-specific inhibitor S-1611 (20 mu M), or the bicarbonate transport inhibitor 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS; 1 mM). A general NHE inhibitor, 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA; 20 mu M), inhibited pHi recovery in NHE2-null mice (46%) but less strongly than in wild-type mice (74%), suggesting both EIPA-sensitive and -insensitive compensatory mechanisms. Transepithelial Na+ leakage followed by activation of basolateral NHE1 could confound the outcomes; however, the rates of Na+-dependent pHi recovery were independent of transepithelial leakiness to lucifer yellow and were unchanged in NHE1-null mice. NHE2 was immunolocalized on apical membranes of wild-type crypts but not NHE2-null tissue. NHE3 immunoreactivity was near the colonic surface but not at the crypt base in NHE2-null mice. Colonic surface cells from wild-type mice demonstrated S1611- and HOE694-sensitive pH(i) recovery in response to luminal sodium, confirming a functional role for both NHE3 and NHE2 at this site. We conclude that constitutive absence of NHE2 results in a compensatory increase in a Na+-dependent, EIPA-sensitive acid extruder distinct from NHE1, NHE3, or SITS-sensitive transporters.
