RESUMO

We used perforated patch, whole-cell current recordings and video-based fluorescence ratio imaging to monitor the relation of plasma membrane ionic conductances to intracellular free Ca2+ within individual colonic epithelial cells (HT-29). The Ca2(+)-mediated agonist, neurotensin, activated K+ and Cl- conductances that showed different sensitivities to [Ca2+]i. The Cl- conductance was sensitive to increases or decreases in [Ca2+]i around the resting value of 76 +/- 32 (mean +/- SD) nM (n = 46), whereas activation of the K+ conductance required at least a 10-fold rise in [Ca2+]i. Neurotensin increased [Ca2+]i by stimulating a transient intracellular Ca2+ release, which was followed by a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i due to Ca2+ influx from the bath. The onset of the initial [Ca2+]i transient, monitored at a measurement window over the cell interior, lagged behind the rise in Cl- current during agonist stimulation. This lag was not present when the [Ca2+]i rise was due to Ca2+ entry from the bath, induced either by the agonist or by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. The temporal differences in [Ca2+]i and Cl- current during the agonist-induced [Ca2+]i transient can be explained by a localized Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in the vicinity of the plasma membrane Cl- channel. Chloride currents recover toward basal values more rapidly than [Ca2+]i after the agonist-induced [Ca2+]i transient, and, during a sustained neurotensin-induced [Ca2+]i rise, Cl- currents inactivate. These findings suggest that an inhibitory pathway limits the increase in Cl- conductance that can be evoked by agonist. Because this Cl- current inhibition is not observed during a sustained [Ca2+]i rise induced by ionomycin, the inhibitory pathway may be mediated by another agonist-induced messenger, such as diacylglycerol.
