The present study concerns intriguing effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on cAMP-mediated anion secretion in polarized human airway epithelia. Although H2O2 applied to the apical and basolateral membrane increases short-circuit currents (ISC) with analogous properties, it has opposite effects on subsequent cAMP-activated ISC responses. Namely, forskolin (FK)-induced ISC responses were down-regulated by the apical presence of H2O2, whereas they were up-regulated by its basolateral presence. Despite this contrasting effect, oxidative stimuli from either aspect of the monolayer hindered FK-induced increments in cytosolic cAMP levels and apical membrane Cl- conductance (GCl). The site-dependent effects of H2O2 were reproduced in the responses to 8bromo-cAMP. Estimation of the anionic composition of the ISC revealed that the FK up-regulated both bumetanide (an Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter [NKCC1] inhibitor)- and DNDS (a HCO3--dependent anion transporter [NBC1/AE2] inhibitor)-sensitive ISC in the control, whereas the up-regulation evidently favored bumetanide-sensitive ISC in the basolateral presence of H2O2. The FK-induced NKCC1-augmentation after exposure to basolateral H2O2 was counteracted by cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of microfilament function, but not by charybdotoxin, a blocker of the intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel, whose activation could be related to NKCC-mediated Cl- secretion. These observations suggest that basolaterally but not apically applied H2O2 potentiates subsequent cAMP-mediated Cl- secretion by an increase in Cl- uptake via basolateral NKCC1, whose sensitivities to cAMP/protein kinase A are up-regulated, overcoming the H2O2-induced inhibition of cAMP-mediated apical anion conductance. The basolateral membrane-specific effects of H2O2 may be relevant to the basolateral cytoskeleton, which is believed to interact with NKCC1.
