Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 299: G707-G714, 2010. First published July 8, 2010; doi: 10.1152/ajpgi.00101.2010.-Intermediate conductance K+ (Kcnn4) channels are present in both mucosal and serosal membranes of colon. However, only serosal Kcnn4 channels have been shown to be essential for agonist-induced (cAMP and Ca2+) anion secretion. The present study sought to determine whether mucosal Kcnn4 channels also play a role in colonic anion secretion. Mucosal-to-serosal and serosal-to-mucosal unidirectional Rb-86 (K+ surrogate) fluxes as well as short-circuit current (I-sc; a measure of anion secretion) were measured under voltage-clamp conditions in distal colon from rats fed either a standard or K+ -free diet. 5,6-Dichloro-1-ethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazole-2-one (DC-EBIO) was used to activate Kcnn4 channels. Mucosal DC-EBIO both induced K+ secretion and enhanced anion secretion in normal rat distal colon. The DC-EBIO-induced K+ secretion was completely blocked by nonspecific (Ba2+) and Kcnn4-specific (TRAM-34) inhibitors, but was not blocked by the large-conductance K+ (iberiotoxin), small-conductance K+ (apamin), or KCNQ1 (chromanol 293B) specific blockers. Ba2+ and TRAM-34 also inhibited DC-EBIO-enhanced anion secretion. The DC-EBIO-enhanced anion secretion was completely inhibited by the nonspecific anion channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropyl-amino) benzoic acid, whereas it was only partially inhibited by CFTR [CFTRinh-172, glibenclamide]- and CaCC (niflumic acid)-specific Cl- channel blockers. In contrast, mucosal DC-EBIO-enhanced K+ and anion secretion was not present in distal colon of dietary K-depleted rats, indicating absence of mucosal Kcnn4 channels. These observations indicate that mucosal Kcnn4 channels are capable of driving agonist-induced anion secretion mediated via CFTR and CaCC and likely contribute to stool K+ losses that accompany diarrheal illnesses.
