چکیده
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) has been recently implicated as a possible mediator of bowel inflammation and has also been shown to stimulate electrogenic chloride secretion in rat and guinea pig intestine. This study therefore investigated the effect on two NO donors, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) on human colonic ion transport. METHODS Changes in short circuit current (delta SCC) in response to nitric oxide donating compounds were measured in muscle stripped normal human colon mounted in Ussing chambers. The ion species and intracellular mechanisms responsible for delta SCC evoked by SNP were investigated. RESULTS Basolateral SNP caused a progressive rise in delta SCC over the range 10(-7) to 10(-4)M (ED50 = 2.5 x 10(-5)M). SNAP 10(-4)M also evoked a qualitatively similar delta SCC compared with SNP 10(-4)M. Basolateral SNP evoked a greater delta SCC than apical and this was significantly attenuated by bumetanide 10(-4)M (52.9 +/- 10.1%) and in chloride free media (68.3 +/- 7.3%). delta SCC response to SNP was not significantly changed by basolateral 4-acetamido-4'-isothio-cyano-2,2'disulphonic acid stillbene (SITS 10(-3)M) an inhibitor of sodium/bicarbonate exchange, or apical amiloride 10(-5)M an inhibitor of sodium absorption. SNP induced delta SCC was also significantly reduced by piroxicam (mean (SEM)) 10(-5)M (57.9 (11.9)%), nordihydroguaretic acid 10(-4)M (48.0 (12.9)%), tetrodotoxin (TTX 10(-6)M, 52.3 (9.1)%), and practically abolished by TTX and piroxicam together (96.8 (3.3)%). CONCLUSION NO donors stimulate human colonic ion transport in vitro. For SNP, increased delta SCC is at least due in part to chloride secretion, and the response seems to be transduced through enteric nerves and by local prostanoid synthesis. This study provides evidence that NO may be another important mediator of ion transport in human colon.

Regulation of colonic ion transport by gasotransmitters.
Gaseous molecules such as nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), or carbon monoxide (CO) are involved in the regulation of colonic water and salt transport, which can be switched between absorption and secretion. Nitric oxide is produced from the amino acid L-arginine by different isoforms of the enzyme NO synthase, which are expressed both by enteric neurones and by the colonic epithelium....

Nitric oxide stimulates cyclic guanosine monophosphate production and electrogenic secretion in Caco-2 colonocytes.
Nitric oxide stimulates intestinal ion transport via the activation of enteric nerves, but it is not known whether it regulates intestinal transport function by acting on the epithelium directly. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of nitric oxide on epithelial electrogenic ion secretion, measured as the short-circuit current (Isc), using the human colonic carcinoma cell line C...

Due to the recognized biological role of nitric oxide (NO) donating derivatives and of selective inhibitors of specific human carbonic anhydrase isoforms (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), promising compounds having an aromatic/heterocyclic primary sulfonamide and functionalized with NO-releasing moieties have been designed. These bifunctional agents have been tested in vitro and in vivo to assess their dual ph...
