We have developed a cell culture of guinea pig gallbladder epithelial cells with which to study ion transport. When grown on permeable supports, the cultured epithelia developed a transepithelial resistance (R(t)) of approximately 500 Omega. cm(2). The epithelial cell origin of the cell culture was further confirmed by immunocytochemical localization of cytokeratin. Ionomycin and forskolin increased transepithelial voltage and short-circuit current (I(sc)) and decreased R(t). The response to ionomycin was transient, whereas that to forskolin was sustained. Both were attenuated by replacement of Cl(-) and/or HCO(3)(-). Mucosal addition of the anion transport inhibitors DIDS or diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPC) blocked the response to ionomycin. The response to forskolin was blocked by DPC but not by DIDS. Ionomycin, but not forskolin, increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in fura 2-loaded cells. PGE(2), histamine, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and secretin elicited a sustained increase in I(sc). Responses to ATP and CCK were transient. Thus cultured guinea pig gallbladder epithelia display the range of responses observed in the native tissue and are an appropriate model for studies of ion transport in gallbladder and intestinal epithelia.
