"Although the molecular identities of BK splice variants of rat and human colon have yet to be established, the demonstration that cAMP activates BK channel activity, and forskolin (FSK; which activates adenylate cyclase and increases intracellular cAMP) activates K secretion, suggest that BK channels encoded by ZERO transcripts mediate K secretion in rat and human colonic epithelial cells (Figure-7) (130, 159)."
reach
"Although we did not study the effects of specific BK channel inhibitors in this study, we have previously shown that apically applied 100 nM iberiotoxin completely inhibits cAMP induced K + secretion in rat distal colon by preventing the apical BK channel mediated increase in unidirectional K + flux from serosa to mucosa, and 100 nM penitrem A inhibits apical BK channels in human colon."
reach
"The fact that the wider cryptal distribution of BK channel expression persists in quiescent UC (where colonic K secretion is likely to be normal), suggests that fecal K losses in UC are also dependent upon overall BK channel activity, which is likely to be stimulated in active UC by cAMP and/or Ca -mediated inflammatory cytokines."
