purpose. To investigate mechanisms of H 2 O 2-induced reduction in rates of active ion transport (I sc) across the pigmented rabbit conjunctival tissue and the protective role afforded by mucosal glutathione (GSH).methods. Changes in I sc and specific binding properties of ouabain were evaluated in a modified Ussing chamber setup, using conjunctival tissues freshly excised from pigmented rabbits. Effective concentrations of H 2 O 2 at which 50% of I sc was inhibited (IC 50) were determined for the mucosal and serosal instillation of the agent. The rate of exogenous H 2 O 2 consumption in the mucosal and serosal bathing fluids was estimated. Mucosal 8-Br cAMP at 3 mM, serosal bumetanide at 0.5 mM, and both mucosal and serosal bathing of the conjunctiva with Na+-free bicarbonated Ringer’s solution (BRS) were used to estimate contributions of conjunctival ion transport mechanisms in I sc changes elicited by mucosal H 2 O 2 at IC 50. Specific binding of 3 H-ouabain to the serosal side of the conjunctiva was estimated in the presence of mucosal or serosal H 2 O 2 to assess the role of functional Na+/K+-ATPase pumps in H 2 O 2 injury. The effect of mucosally instilled GSH and other reductive and nonreductive agents on possible restoration of oxidant-induced decrease in conjunctival I sc was also determined.results. Mucosal and serosal H 2 O 2 decreased conjunctival I sc gradually in a dose-dependent manner. The mucosal IC 50 of H 2 O 2 was 1.49±0.20 mM, whereas the serosal IC 50 was estimated at 10.6±2.0 μM. The rate of H 2 O 2 consumption from mucosal fluid was six times faster than that from serosal fluid. Conjunctival tissues pretreated with mucosal H 2 O 2 at IC 50 retained approximately 50% of their maximum 8-Br cAMP-dependent increases in I sc. Serosal bumetanide did not further reduce the I sc beyond the initial 70% decrease caused by mucosal H 2 O 2. When conjunctiva was bathed with Na+-free BRS on both the mucosal and serosal sides, before or after addition of mucosal H 2 O 2, the combined effects were additive, decreasing I sc by up to 95% to 99%. Mucosal, but not serosal, GSH or reduced l-glutathione mono-ethyl ester (GSH-MEE) superfusion of conjunctival tissues pre-exposed to mucosal H 2 O 2 at IC 50 recovered to 60% to 80% of the initial pre-H 2 O 2 I sc after approximately 100 minutes. The specific binding of 3 H-ouabain to the serosal side of the tissue was inhibited by 85% in the presence of mucosal or serosal treatment with H 2 O 2 at their respective IC 50 values. Pretreatment for 60 minutes with either 5 mM GSH, 2 mM GSH-MEE, or 0.1 mM ebselen, when instilled into the mucosal fluid, resulted in 30%, 45%, or 55% reductions, respectively, in ouabain binding after exposure to mucosal H 2 O 2 at IC 50. Furthermore, mucosal posttreatment with 10 mM GSH or 5 mM GSH-MEE of conjunctival tissues pre-exposed to mucosal H 2 O 2 resulted in a 30% recovery of the ouabain-binding level above that observed in tissues exposed to 1.5 mM H 2 O 2 alone on the mucosal side. By contrast, the decrease in conjunctival I sc or in the ouabain-binding level elicited by serosal H 2 O 2 at IC 50 was irreversible.conclusions. A higher mucosal IC 50 of [H 2 O 2] on conjunctival I sc corresponds to the faster consumption of exogenous H 2 O 2 from mucosal bathing fluid. In addition, actively secreted GSH by conjunctival epithelial cells may help reduce the injury by mucosally applied H 2 O 2. Injury by H 2 O 2 may directly affect vital membrane components (eg, Na+, K+-ATPase) involved in active ion transport across conjunctiva. Mucosal protection by GSH (or its analogues) of active conjunctival ion transport may be useful in …
