Effect of neuropeptide Y on ion transport by the rabbit ileum

KA Hubel and KS Renquist

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is present in fibers extending from the submucous plexus to the epithelium of the small intestine where the liberation of NPY might affect ion transport. We sought the effects of NPY on rabbit ileal mucosa stripped of muscularis propria and mounted in a flux chamber. NPY reduced the transmural electrical potential difference and short circuit current (Isc) and increased total ionic conductance. Threshold and maximal effects were evoked at concentrations of 1 nM and 1 microM, respectively. NPY increased chloride absorption, JCl(net), by increasing the flux of Cl from mucosa to serosa, JCl(ms), and by decreasing JCl(sm). JNa(net) actually diminished because JNa(sm) rose more than JNa(ms). In the presence of NPY theophylline 5 mM caused Cl secretion, increased potential difference and Isc and reduced total ionic conductance, indicating that the tissue could respond to a secretagogue. Tetrodotoxin 0.1 microM did not diminish the Isc reduction caused by NPY, and desensitization did not alter the response of the tissue to electrical field stimulation. Like somatostatin and norepinephrine, which are also present in the submucous plexus, NPY increases Cl absorption, but unlike them, it reduces rather than augments Na absorption. The lack of effect of tetrodotoxin on the Isc response to NPY implies that NPY does not act by liberating a second neurotransmitter; the lack of effect of NPY desensitization indicates that the liberation of NPY plays no significant role in the response of the tissue to electrical field stimulation.
