Rat colonic mucosa contains ETA and ETB receptors with Kd values for endothelin (ET)-1 of 32 and 11 pM and maximal binding capacities of 277 and 181 fmol/mg protein, respectively. In muscle-stripped rat colon without tonic nerve activity in Ussing chambers, the serosal addition of ET-1, ET-3 and IRL1620 inhibited amiloride-sensitive noncoupled Na+ entry and enhanced diphenylamine-2-carboxylate-sensitive Cl- secretion, producing a sustained decrease and a transient increase in the short- circuit current (Isc) and the transepithelial conductance, respectively. EC50 values of ET-1, ET-3 and IRL1620 and the maximal changes in Isc were 2.0, 10.2 and 10.9 nM and -12.7, -7.0 and -7.1 muA/cm2, respectively for the Na+ entry; these values were 50, 220 and 225 nM and +57.3, +47.3 and +21.3 muA/cm2, respectively, for the Cl- secretion. FR139317 (100 nM) inhibited ET-1-induced Na+ and Cl- movements, shifting the concentration-response curves to the right (EC50 = 25 nM and 1 microM, respectively), and inhibited ET-3 (> 100 nM)-induced Cl- movement, decreasing the maximal response to 35%, but it did not inhibit either ET-3-induced Na+ movement nor IRL1620-induced Na+ and Cl- movements. The removal of serosal Ca++ reduced 100 nM ET-1- and IRL1620-evoked changes in Isc by 50% and 70% for the Na+ entry and by 80% and 100% for the Cl- secretion, respectively. Indomethacin (1 microM) also reduced changes in Isc by 30% and 70% for the Cl- secretion but did not affect the Na+ entry. Our results show that ETA and ETB receptors regulate Na+ and Cl- transport by different mechanisms.
