It has been controversial whether the CIC-2 chloride channel is involved in hydrochloric acid secretion of gastric parietal cells. Here, we investigated whether CIC-2 is the apical Cl- channel associated with gastric acid secretion. Two anti-CIC-2 antibodies used in this study reacted with cloned CIC-2 protein expressed in HEK293 cells. In isolated rabbit gastric glands, significant expression of CIC-2 mRNA was observed, but the presence of CIC-2 protein was not clear. Furthermore, no expression of CIC-2 protein was observed in isolated rat and human gastric mucosa. Immunohistochemistry on the rat gastric mucosa showed no significant expression of CIC-2 protein in the parietal cells which showed abundant expression of H+,K+-ATPase. These results indicate that CIC-2 may not be a Cl--transporting protein for gastric acid secretion in parietal cells. (C) 2004 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
