title: Gastric and duodenal HCO3- transport in vitro: effects of hormones and local transmitters.
abstract: Luminal application of acid was recently shown to stimulate surface epithelial HCO3(-) transport in stomach and duodenum. Effects of some potential transmitters of this response were therefore studied in amphibian gastric fundic and proximal duodenal mucosa in vitro. Duodenal HCO3- transport, which could be titrated directly, was stimulated by dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP, 10(-6) M), the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (10(-6) M), noradrenaline (10(-6) M), pancreatic glucagon (10(-8) M), and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP, 10(-10) M). Stimulation by glucagon, but not by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, 10(-6) M), required Cl- in the luminal solution and was prevented by furosemide (10(-3) M). This suggests that glucagon may affect HCO3(-)-Cl- exchange at the luminal membrane while transport stimulated by prostaglandins may be electrogenic. Stimulatory effects of glucagon and PGE2 were also additive. Gastric HCO3- transport, studied in tissues after inhibition of H+ secretion by histamine H2-antagonists, clearly differed from duodenum in that noradrenaline and GIP were inhibitory and DBcAMP was without effect. Stimulation of gastric HCO3- transport was observed with glucagon (10(-8) M), natural cholecystokinin (CCK, 10(-8) M), and CCK octapeptide (10(-7) M), CCK preparations had no effect in the duodenum. Although tested over a wide range of concentrations, no effect on either duodenal or gastric HCO3- transport was observed with histamine, pentagastrin, tetragastrin, urogastrone, ACTH, bombesin, motilin, secretin, serotonin, somatostatin, substance P, or vasoactive intestinal peptide.
