Apical Na+/H+ exchange near the base of mouse colonic crypts

Colonic crypts can absorb fluid, but the identity of the absorptive transporters remains speculative. Near the crypt base, the epithelial cells responsible for vectorial transport are relatively undifferentiated and often presumed to mediate only Cl- secretion. We have applied confocal microscopy in combination with an extracellular fluid marker [Lucifer yellow (LY)] or a pH-sensitive dye (2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein) to study mouse colonic crypt epithelial cells directly adjacent to the crypt base within an intact mucosal sheet. Measurements of intracellular pH report activation of colonocyte Na+/H+ exchange in response to luminal or serosal Na+. Studies with LY demonstrate the presence of a paracellular fluid flux, but luminal Na+ does not activate Na+/H+ exchange in the nonepithelial cells of the lamina propria, and studies with LY suggest that the fluid bathing colonocyte basolateral membranes is rapidly refreshed by serosal perfusates. The apical Na+/H+ exchange in crypt colonocytes is inhibited equivalently by luminal 20 µM ethylisopropylamiloride and 20 µM HOE-694 but is not inhibited by luminal 20 µM S-1611. Immunostaining reveals the presence of epitopes from NHE1 and NHE2, but not NHE3, in epithelial cells near the base of colonic crypts. Comparison of apical Na+/H+ exchange activity in the presence of Cl- with that in the absence of Cl- (substitution by gluconate or nitrate) revealed no evidence of the Cl--dependent Na+/H+ exchange that had been previously reported as the sole apical Na+/H+ exchange activity in the colonic crypt. Results suggest the presence of an apical Na+/H+ exchanger near the base of crypts with functional attributes similar to those of the cloned NHE2 isoform.
