Background & aims

The gastric epithelium protects itself against luminal acid by secreting HCO3--rich fluid into the mucous layer and by HCO3--dependent intracellular pH regulation, but the basolateral HCO3-uptake mechanisms are incompletely characterized. This study examined the expression and functional significance of the Na+/HCO3-cotransporters NBC1 and NBC2 in rabbit gastric epithelial cells.

Methods

Rabbit NBC1 and NBC2 complementary DNA fragments were cloned and sequenced, and cellular expression levels were assessed by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction. Na+/HCO3-cotransport activity was measured fluorometrically in cultured rabbit parietal and mucous cells.

Results

NBC1 expression was 4.5-fold lower in the stomach than kidney cortex and 5.5-fold higher in mucous than parietal cells. NBC2 expression in the stomach was much lower than in the eye, approximately 4-fold lower than NBC1 expression in the stomach, and 2.5-fold higher in mucous than parietal cells. The Na+- and HCO3--dependent, dimethylamiloride-insensitive (which at 500 micromol/L completely inhibits all Na+/H+ exchanger isoforms) base influx rates were 4.6 +/- 0.02 and 16.2 +/-0.04 mmol/L/min in acidified parietal and mucous cells, respectively, and were not significantly different in the absence of Cl-.

Conclusions

This study shows that NBC1 and NBC2 are expressed in rabbit stomach, with high levels in mucous cells where Na+/HCO3-cotransport is the major base-importing mechanism in the presence of CO2/HCO3-."xsd:string
