Abstract
The inflammatory mediator, adenosine, induces chloride secretion from the human colonic epithelial cell line, T84, in a manner apparently independent of increases in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, or cytoplasmic Ca2+. This prompted a search for other messengers that might account for the secretory response. A possible role for arachidonic acid or a metabolite in the response to adenosine has been demonstrated 1) by showing a relationship between arachidonic acid mobilization and chloride secretion induced by the adenosine agonist 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) and 2) by determining that exogenous arachidonic acid affects T84 cell function. Addition of NECA to T84 cells induces chloride secretion and release of radioactivity from cells preloaded with [3H]arachidonic acid with similar dose dependencies. The effect of NECA on chloride secretion is inhibited by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor 4-bromophenacyl bromide or the diglyceride lipase inhibitor RG80267 but is unaffected by inhibitors of lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase. Arachidonic acid has a small but significant effect on chloride secretion when added alone to T84 cells and synergistically enhances, as does NECA, responses to calcium-dependent secretogogues. Thus receptor-stimulated release of arachidonic acid in T84 cells may provide a second-messenger system promoting chloride secretion, in addition to calcium and cyclic nucleotides.
