Heat-stable enterotoxins activate guanylate cyclase, whereas heat-labile enterotoxins stimulate adenylate cyclase. Both classes of toxins cause secretory diarrhea at least in part by stimulating Cl- secretion in the intestine. The mechanism for regulation of Cl- secretion by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) was investigated using cultured T84 intestinal cells as a model for intestinal crypt cells. Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) markedly stimulated cGMP production in T84 cells. Cl- secretion across T84 cell monolayers cultured on permeable filters was stimulated by E. coli ST, cholera toxin, or 8-BrcAMP, but 8-BrcGMP was ineffective. cGMP analogues that are known to be potent and specific activators of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cG-kinase) also had little effect on Cl-36- uptake by T84 cells cultured in plastic dishes. E. coli ST, forskolin, cholera toxin, or membrane-permeant cAMP analogues markedly increased Cl-36- uptake into T84 cells. The general protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited the stimulation of Cl- permeability elicited by E. coli ST, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), or 8-BrcAMP. DEAE-Sephacel chromatography revealed a predominant type II isoform of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cA-kinase) in T84 cells, whereas little or no cytosolic cG-kinase activity was found. Treatment of T84 cells with E. coli ST or VIP resulted in an increase in the cA-kinase activity ratio (-cAMP/+cAMP) if the cytosolic enzyme was assayed at reduced temperature (on ice). Taken together, these data supported the hypothesis that the stimulation of Cl- channels by E. coli ST does not occur by cG-kinase activation but may occur by cGMP binding to and activation of cA-kinase in T84 cells. Thus one possible mechanism for the action of E. coli ST to elicit salt and fluid secretion in the intestine could occur by cGMP cross-activation of cA-kinase in the crypt cells. Whether such a mechanism exists in the intestine is a key question raised by our experiments with a model epithelium and remains to be explored as a putative signaling pathway for cGMP in the intestine.
