secretion in MDCK cells

We investigated the process of and recovery from desensitization
of the P2 receptor-mediated
stimulation of Cl
secretion
in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayers by assaying the
response of short-circuit current
(Isc). When the
cells were exposed to repeated 3-min challenges of ATP or UTP
interspersed with 5-min washes, the response of
Isc desensitized rapidly followed by spontaneous recovery. The pattern of inhibition by
various channel blockers or enzyme inhibitors revealed that both the
initial and recovered responses of
Isc have the same ionic and signaling mechanisms. The desensitization and recovery processes were confined to the membrane exposed to the repeated challenges. When added during the desensitized phase, 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate enhanced the ATP-stimulated
Isc response, whereas it did not during the initial or recovered phases. ATP-induced increases of intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic
monophosphate showed similar desensitization and recovery in parallel
with the changes in the responses of
Isc. The
desensitization process was attenuated by pretreatment with cholera
toxin or pertussis toxin. Taken together, our results suggest that the
adenylyl cyclase system plays a role in the desensitization and
recovery mechanism of the ATP-stimulated
Cl
secretion in MDCK cells.
