Article Abstract
It is well known that chemotactic agents active Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, increasing intracellular pH of neutrophils, but their effect on bicarbonate transporters have not been established yet. To study the effect of fMLP on the activity of Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange, the rate of pH recovery after acute Cl(-) readmission in cell subjected to an alkaline load by CO(2) washout in a Cl-free medium was measured. The activity of the exchanger was reduced to 72% of control when cells were pre-incubated for 5 min with 0.1 μM fMLP and reached 48% of control in steady state after acute exposure. After extracellular bicarbonate or TMA addition the rate recovery of intracellular pH was reduce at 72% and at 84%, respectively. The inhibitory effect on the intracellular pH recovery was not affected by blockers of Na(+)/H(+) exchange. We conclude from these studies that an increase of pH(i) produced for this chemotactic agent is facilitated by the simultaneous activation of Na(+)/H(+) exchange and inhibition of Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange in neutrophils.

Escherichia coli Nissle Improves Short-Chain Fatty Acid Absorption and Barrier Function in a Mouse Model for Chronic Inflammatory Diarrhea.

Background: Defects in SLC26A3, the major colonic Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, result in chloride-rich diarrhea, a reduction in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, and a high incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in humans and in mice. Slc26a3-/- mice are, therefore, an interesting animal model for spontaneous but mild colonic inflammation and for testing strategies to reverse or prevent the inflammation. This study investigates the effect of Escherichia coli Nissle (EcN) application on the microbiome, SCFA production, barrier integrity, and mucosal inflammation in slc26a3-/- mice.

Malabsorption of NaCl is the primary cause of diarrhea in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Coupled NaCl absorption occurs via the dual operation of Na:H and Cl:HCO exchange in the brush border membrane (BBM) of villus cells. Cl:HCO exchange is mediated by BBM transporters DRA (downregulated in adenoma) and PAT1 (putative anion transporter 1) in the mammalian small intestine.

Article Synopsis
- * The review highlights two main genetic mechanisms: increased potassium loss due to renal abnormalities and decreased potassium availability from ion channel defects, affecting multiple organs like kidneys, intestines, and muscles.
- * It details over ten genetic disorders linked to hypokalemia, emphasizing specific genes (e.g., SLC12A1 for Bartter syndrome and SLC26A3 for congenital chloride diarrhea) that illustrate the complexity of this condition and its clinical implications.
The anion exchanger slc26a3 regulates colonic mucus expansion during steady state and in response to prostaglandin E, while Cftr regulates de novo mucus release in response to carbamylcholine.

The intestinal epithelium is covered by mucus that protects the tissue from the luminal content. Studies have shown that anion secretion via the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (Cftr) regulates mucus formation in the small intestine. However, mechanisms regulating mucus formation in the colon are less understood.

Primary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare tubulopathy characterised by the presence of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. It is caused by the existence of a defect in the function of the H -ATPase located on the luminal side of the α-intercalated cells or the Cl HCO3 (AE1) anion exchanger located on the basolateral side. Patients do not acidify the urine after acid overload (NH4Cl) or after stimulating H secretion by obtaining a high intratubular concentration of an anion such as chlorine (pH is measured) or HCO3- (urinary pCO is measured).
