In vitro secretion of goblet cell mucin from rat small intestine was measured using a double-antibody radioimmunoassay for mucin. Cholera (Vibria cholerae) toxin (12.5-50 mg crude filtrate/ml) added to incubations of intestinal slices caused a dose-dependent increase in mucin secretion. By 90 min there was a 4- to 5-fold enhancement in secretion over noncholera-treated controls. Crude filtrate (dialyzed or nondialyzed) was a more effective mucin secretogogue than purified enterotoxin. Secretion was also assessed by administering [1-14C]glucosamine i.p. to rats in vivo and 3 h later monitoring in vitro secretion of radioactive glycoprotein from intestinal slices. Cholera filtrate (12.5-50 mg/ml) caused a 1.5- to 2.0-fold enhancement in secretion after 90 min. The radioactivity data underestimated total mucin secretion and the dependency of secretion on the dose of cholera filtrate. Cholera preparations also caused an enhancement (20-30% over controls) in the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into tissue acid-precipitable glycoprotein, indicating a stimulation of glycoprotein synthesis. In the same experiments it was noted that the secretion of 3H-labeled (i.e., newly glycosylated) glycoprotein was increased 2.5- to 3.0-fold over untreated controls. It is possible that cholera toxin promotes the release of both old mucin from storage granules and the synthesis and secretion of new mucin formed in goblet cells during incubation.
