BACKGROUNDWe investigated the effect of various fatty acids on electrogenic chloride secretion in T84 cells, a model for intestinal epithelium.MATERIALS AND METHODST84 intestinal epithelial cells grown on permeable supports were studied by conventional current-voltage clamping. Membrane lipids from T84 cells were extracted, transmethylated, and analyzed by gas chromatography. Lipid extracts were fractionated into nonpolar, free fatty acids, and phospholipids by amynopropil column chromatography.RESULTSDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) but not eicosapentanoic acid or other fatty acids selectively enhanced the secretory response to the muscarinic agonist carbachol but not the response to other Ca2+agonists (histamine, thapsigargin, or ionomycin) or the response to the cAMP agonist forskolin. The ability of DHA to augment Cl−secretion appeared to correlate closer with free DHA levels than with membrane-bound DHA. Other effects of DHA on T84 cells included a reduction in transepithelial resistance (a measure of barrier function), actions that were dissociated from the effect on Cl−secretion.CONCLUSIONThe results suggest that DHA, which has been shown to reverse organ pathology in experimental cystic fibrosis, may selectively affect agonist-regulated transport events and other fundamental properties of epithelial cells.
