Human colonic carcinoma Caco-2 cells grown in vitro form epithelial layers of highly polarized cells. Unlike colonic adsorptive cells they possess a mucosal membrane with very limited ionic conductance, even after exposure to aldosterone. When grown on filters, Caco-2 cells were sensitive to various secretagogues; these included 10(-5) M dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP) and 10(-10) M vasoactive intestinal peptide, both of which, added serosally, enhanced the short-circuit current. The same applied to mucosal forskolin. Caco-2 cell sensitivity to serosal epinephrine was lower. Ion substitutions and 22Na-36Cl flux measurements indicated the possibility of secretagogue-dependent chloride secretion. Measurements on cells grown on Petri dishes and exposed to 1 mM DBcAMP for 1 h enabled detection of more profound modifications. Sustained 20-mV cell depolarization and a large reduction in the relative electrical resistance of the mucosal membrane were concomitant with a sizable decrease in 36Cl accumulation. These results suggest that Caco-2 cells, which to some extent resemble colonic crypt cells, possess the cAMP-dependent mucosal chloride conductance characteristic of secretory cells.
