Stimulation of mucosal bicarbonate secretion in rat duodenum in vivo by BW755C.
Bicarbonate secretion from 12 mm segments of duodenum just distal to the Brunner's gland area was titrated (pH 7.60) in situ in anesthetized rats. Intravenous BW755C (10-20 mg/kg) increased both bicarbonate secretion and the transmucosal electrical potential difference and pretreatment with indomethacin (3 mg/kg intravenously) prevented these effects. Indomethacin also inhibited stimulation of HCO3- secretion by luminal acid (10 mM HCl) but had no effect on the rise in secretion in response to exogenous (luminal) prostaglandin E2. The results support previous suggestions of a role for endogenous prostaglandins in mediation of the HCO3- response to acid and are consistent with the recent demonstration that BW755C increased prostaglandin formation in homogenates of rat intestinal mucosa. Stimulation of HCO3- secretion by BW755C was not enhanced but attenuated by preexposure to luminal acid, suggesting that the latter increases secretion by effects other than mucosal mobilization of arachidonate.
