Calcium mediated neurohumoral inhibition of chicken enterocyte Na influx: Role of phosphatidylinositol metabolites

Journal Article · · Life Sciences; (USA)
Carbachol (CCH), serotonin (5HT), divalent ionophore A23187, cAMP, and certain neuropeptides, i.e. substance P (SP), inhibit the initial rate of uptake (influx) of {sup 22}Na into isolated chicken villus enterocytes. All these agents also increase cytosolic Ca. However, the increases stimulated by CCH, 5HT, and cAMP are not blocked by chelation of extracellular Ca, whereas those of A23187 and SP are. Only CCH and 5HT stimulate hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositides to form inositol phosphates. CCH and 5HT also stimulate incorporation of ({sup 32}P)-PO{sub 4} into membrane polyphosphoinositides. These studies suggest that at least three mechanisms exist to increase cytosolic Ca in chicken enterocytes and thereby inhibit Na influx. Certain neurohumoral agents such as SP open a plasma membrane permeability for Ca, permitting extracellular Ca to enter the cell down its electrochemical gradient. These agents do not stimulate phosphadidylinositol breakdown. CCH and 5HT stimulate phosphatidylinositol breakdown and via the formation of inositol trisphosphate release Ca from intracellular stores. A third mechanism exists for cAMP which mobilizes Ca from intracellular stores, but does not involve the metabolism of membrane phosphatidylinositols.
