p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibits calcium-dependent chloride secretion in T84 colonic epithelial cells

We have previously shown that Ca2+-dependent Cl- secretion across intestinal epithelial cells is limited by a signaling pathway involving transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activation of ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Here, we have investigated a possible role for p38 MAPK in regulation of Ca2+-dependent Cl- secretion. Western blot analysis of T84 colonic epithelial cells revealed that the muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh; 100 µM) stimulated phosphorylation and activation of p38 MAPK. The p38 inhibitor SB-203580 (10 µM) potentiated and prolonged short-circuit current (Isc) responses to CCh across voltage-clamped T84 cells to 157.4 ± 6.9% of those in control cells (n = 21; P < 0.001). CCh-induced p38 phosphorylation was attenuated by the EGFR inhibitor tyrphostin AG-1478 (0.1 nM-10 µM) and by the Src family kinase inhibitor PP2 (20 nM-2 µM). The effects of CCh on p38 phosphorylation were mimicked by thapsigargin (TG; 2 µM), which specifically elevates intracellular Ca2+, and were abolished by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM (20 µM), implying a role for intracellular Ca2+ in mediating p38 activation. SB-203580 (10 µM) potentiated Isc responses to TG to 172.4 ± 18.1% of those in control cells (n = 18; P < 0.001). When cells were pretreated with SB-203580 and PD-98059 to simultaneously inhibit p38 and ERK MAPKs, respectively, Isc responses to TG and CCh were significantly greater than those observed with either inhibitor alone. We conclude that Ca2+-dependent agonists stimulate p38 MAPK in T84 cells by a mechanism involving intracellular Ca2+, Src family kinases, and the EGFR. CCh-stimulated p38 activation constitutes a similar, but distinct and complementary, antisecretory signaling pathway to that of ERK MAPK.
