The purpose of the present study was to understand the mechanisms of action of diquafosol, a stable derivative of uridine 5'-triphosphate, on Cl- transport across the isolated rabbit conjunctiva. Rabbit conjunctivas were isolated and mounted in a modified Ussing chamber. Under short-circuit conditions, the effects were determined of mucosal (tear) side diquafosol application on the short-circuit current (Isc). Diquafosol rapidly and dose-dependently increased the Isc at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 968 muM when added to the mucosal side of the conjunctiva. In the absence of the serosal Cl-, the Isc induced by 10 muM diquafosol was substantially reduced. On the contrary, in the absence of mucosal side Na+, the diquafosol-induced increases in Isc were unchanged. Following 45-min preincubation, the P2Y(2) antagonist suramin inhibited the diquafosol-induced increases in the Isc whereas the P2Y(1) antagonist pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2'4'-disulfonic acid had no effect. These studies suggest that diquafosol stimulates net Cl- secretion from the serosal to the mucosal side via stimulation of P2Y2 receptors in the rabbit conjunctiva. Copyright (C) 2004 S.
