Cellular model of CaSR regulation of HCO3 secretion in colonocytes of rat distal colon. Top: R568 acting via CaSR causes enhancement of HCO3 secretion in surface epithelial cells by stimulation of luminal Cl-dependent HCO3 secretion via apical Cl/HCO3 exchange and stimulation of luminal SCFA-dependent HCO3 secretion mediated by apical SCFA/HCO3 exchange. Bottom: CaSR reduces HCO3 secretion in the crypt epithelial cells through inhibition of a cAMP-dependent HCO3 secretory process that may involve a 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid/glibenclamide-sensitive apical anion channel such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and/or a basolateral HCO3 entry mechanism(s). +, stimulation; -, inhibition.
