title: Mechanisms of oxalate absorption and secretion across the rabbit distal colon.
abstract: To further evaluate the mechanisms of oxalate (Ox2-) transport in the intestine the following studies were performed using isolated, short-circuited segments of the rabbit distal colon (DC). In control buffer, the DC absorbed Ox2- (net Ox2- flux, JNetOx = 5.4 +/- 0.7 pmol.cm-1.h-1). Replacement of Na+ with N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+) abolished Ox2- absorption by decreasing mucosal to serosal Ox2- flux (JmsOx), without affecting Cl- transport, while gluconate substitution for Cl- did not affect JNetOx or net Na+ flux (JNetNa). Addition of Na+ to the serosal side of tissues bathed by NMDG+ buffer increased JmsOx 40% without altering mucosal to serosal Cl- flux (JmsCl). Serosal amiloride or dimethyl amiloride (10(-3) M) abolished JNetOx by decreasing JmsOx, it increased serosal to muscosal Cl- flux (JsmCl) and it gradually inhibited short-circuit current (Isc). Mucosal amiloride (10(-4) M) abolished Ise but had no effect on Ox2- or Cl- fluxes. Serosal 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS, 10(-6) M) reduced JmsOx by 20% and JNetOx by 43% without affecting JmsCl or JNetCl. Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dB-cAMP, 5 x 10(-4) M, both sides) stimulated Ox2- secretion (JNetOx = -12.6 +/- 3.3 pmol.cm-2.h-1). The dB-cAMP-induced secretion of Ox2- and Cl- were fully abolished by serosal furosemide (10(-4) M) and partially inhibited (35%) by 5 x 10(-4) M mucosal NPPB [5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid], a putative Cl- channel blocker.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
