Abstract
We studied the effect of substance P (SP) on the electric properties of cultured canine tracheal epithelium and its possible modulation by neutral endopeptidase (NEP) by Ussing's short-circuited technique in vitro. Addition of SP (5 x 10(-6) M) to the mucosal side increased short-circuit current (SCC) from 5.1 +/- 0.9 to 10.3 +/- 2.2 microA/cm2 (mean +/- SE; p less than 0.01), which was accompanied by increases in transepithelial potential difference and conductance. The effect of the mucosal SP on SCC was dose-dependent, with the maximal increase from the baseline value being 5.8 +/- 1.0 microA/cm2 observed at 5 x 10(-5) M. The NEP inhibitor phosphoramidon (10(-5) M) did not affect these responses. On the other hand, SCC was not altered by the addition of SP to the submucosal side. However, it was increased dose-dependently in the presence of phosphoramidon (10(-5) M) but not in the presence of captopril, bestatin or leupeptin. This stimulatory effect of submucosal SP was abolished by furosemide, diphenylamine-2-carboxylate and Cl-free medium, but not by amiloride. These results suggest that SP may selectively stimulate Cl secretion across the airway epithelium and that this effect may be modulated by submucosal NEP.
