Bioelectric properties and ion flow across excised human bronchi

M. Knowles, G. Murray, J. Shallal, F. Askin, V. Ranga, J. Gatzy and R. Boucher

Bioelectric properties and ion transport of excised human segmental/subsegmental bronchi were measured in specimens from 40 patients. Transepithelial electric potential difference (PD), short-circuit current (Isc), and conductance (G), averaged 5.8 mV (lumen negative), 51 microA X cm-2, and 9 mS X cm-2, respectively. Na+ was absorbed from lumen to interstitium under open- and short-circuit conditions. Cl- flows were symmetrical under short-circuit conditions. Isc was abolished by 10(-4) M ouabain. Amiloride inhibited Isc (the concentration necessary to achieve 50% of the maximal effect = 7 X 10(-7) M) and abolished net Na+ transport. PD and Isc were not reduced to zero by amiloride because a net Cl- secretion was induced that reflected a reduction in Cl- flow in the absorptive direction (Jm----sCl-). Acetylcholine (10(-4) M) induced an electrically silent, matched flow of Na+ (1.7 mueq X cm-1 X h-1) and Cl- (1.9 mueq X cm-12 X h-1) toward the lumen. This response was blocked by atropine. Phenylephrine (10(-5) M) did not affect bioelectric properties or unidirectional ion flows, whereas isoproterenol (10(-5) M) induced a small increase in Isc (10%) without changing net ion flows significantly. We conclude that 1) Na+ absorption is the major active ion transport across excised human bronchi, 2) Na+ absorption is both amiloride and ouabain sensitive, 3) Cl- secretion can be induced by inhibition of the entry of luminal Na+ into the epithelia, and 4) cholinergic more than adrenergic agents modulate basal ion flow, probably by affecting gland output.
