Previous studies in rat bile canalicular membrane vesicles and WIF-B9 cells revealed that cAMP-induced trafficking of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane and their activation require phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) products. In the present studies, canalicular secretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-glycocholate in WIF-B9 cells was increased by cAMP and a decapeptide that enhances PI3-K activity; these effects were inhibited by wortmannin. To determine the mechanism(s) whereby cAMP activates PI3-K, we examined signal transduction pathways in WIF-B9 and COS-7 cells. cAMP activated PI3-K in both cell lines in a phosphotyrosine-independent manner. PI3-K activity increased in association with p110β in both cell lines. The effect of cAMP was KT-5720 sensitive, suggesting involvement of protein kinase A. Expression of a dominant-negative β-adrenergic receptor kinase COOH terminus (β-ARKct), which blocks Gβγ signaling, decreased PI3-K activation in both cell lines. cAMP increased GTP-bound Ras in COS-7 but not WIF-B9 cells. Expression of dominant-negative Ras abolished cAMP-mediated PI3-K, which suggests that the effect is downstream of Ras and Gβγ. These data indicate that cAMP activates PI3-K in a cell type-specific manner and provide insight regarding mechanisms of PI3-K activation required for bile acid secretion.

Bile acid secretion induced by cAMP and taurocholate is associated with recruitment of several ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane. Taurocholate-mediated bile acid secretion and recruitment of ABC transporters are phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) dependent and require an intact microtubular apparatus. We examined mechanisms involved in cAMP-mediated bile acid secretion. Bile acid secretion induced by perfusion of rat liver with dibutyryl cAMP was blocked by colchicine and wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor. Canalicular membrane vesicles isolated from cAMP-treated rats manifested increased ATP-dependent transport of taurocholate and PI3K activity that were reduced by prior in vivo administration of colchicine or wortmannin. Addition of a PI3K lipid product, phosphoinositide 3,4-bisphosphate, but not its isomer, phosphoinositide 4,5-bisphosphate, restored ATP-dependent taurocholate in these vesicles. Addition of a decapeptide that activates PI3K to canalicular membrane vesicles increased ATP-dependent transport above baseline activity. In contrast to effects induced by taurocholate, cAMP-stimulated intracellular trafficking of the canalicular ABC transporters was unaffected by wortmannin, and recruitment of multidrug resistance protein 2, but not bile salt excretory protein (bsep), was partially decreased by colchicine. These studies indicate that trafficking of bsep and other canalicular ABC transporters to the canalicular membrane in response to cAMP is independent of PI3K activity. In addition, PI3K lipid products are required for activation of bsep in the canalicular membrane. These observations prompt revision of current concepts regarding the role of cAMP and PI3K in intracellular trafficking, regulation of canalicular bsep, and bile acid secretion.

The bile canalicular membrane contains several ATP-dependent transporters that are involved in biliary secretion. Canalicular transporters are synthesized in ER, modified in Golgi and transported to the apical plasma membrane. However, the route and regulation of intracellular trafficking of ATP-dependent transporters have not been elucidated. In the present study, we generated a translational fusion of mdr1 and green fluorescent protein and investigated bile acid secretion and intracellular trafficking of mdr1 in WIF-B cells, a polarized liver derived cell line. Similar to hepatocytes, WIF-B cells secrete bile acids and organic cations (i.e. rhodamine-123) into the bile canaliculi. Canalicular secretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-glycocholate was stimulated by taurocholate and a decapeptide activator of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and was decreased by wortmannin. WIF-B9 cells were transiently and stably transfected with a mdr1-GFP construct. Fluorescence was observed in the canalicular membrane, pericanalicular punctate structures and Golgi region. Time lapse microscopy revealed that mdr1-GFP is transferred from Golgi as tubular vesicular structures the majority of which traveled directly to the canalicular membrane. Recycling between the canalicular membrane and subapical region was also observed. At no time was mdr1-GFP detected in the basolateral plasma membrane. At 15 degrees C, mdr1-GFP accumulated in Golgi; after a shift to 37 degrees C, fluorescence moved directly to the canalicular membrane. This process was enhanced by taurocholate and blocked by wortmannin. In these studies as well, no mdr1-GFP fluorescence was observed at any time in basolateral membranes or other intracellular organelles. In conclusion, in WIF-B cells, there is a direct route from Golgi to the canalicular membrane for trafficking of mdr1, a bile canalicular ATP-dependent transporter of organic cations. As in normal hepatocytes, phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulates bile acid secretion and intracellular trafficking of mdr1 in WIF-B cells. WIF-B cells stably transfected with mdr1-GFP provide an important model in which to study trafficking and regulation of canalicular transporters.

A number of organic anions are known to decrease biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipid without affecting bile acid secretion. Cyclobutyrol (CB) is a choleretic agent which also inhibits biliary lipid secretion. Using isolated perfused rat liver we have studied this inhibition in relation to possible mechanisms suggested for other anions. Shortly after its administration to the isolated perfused liver, CB decreases biliary outputs of cholesterol and phospholipid, without changes in bile acid secretion, at low (450 nmol/min), high (1350 nmol/min) and nil taurocholate infusion rates. The absolute inhibition does not appear to be decreased by elevated bile acid secretion. There is a differential effect on secretion of cholesterol and phospholipid, more marked at low bile acid secretion rates. Biliary outputs of the canalicular membrane enzymes 5′-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I are also depressed by CB administration, but the anion does not affect the biliary output of bovine serum albumin or the output of rat serum albumin into the perfusion fluid. Since CB does not inhibit intracellular vesicular transport or apparently inhibit intracanalicular events, its effect is different from the effect of several other anions. From these studies it appears that the most likely effect of CB is exerted at the level of the canalicular membrane.

The effects of norcholate (a C23 bile acid that differs from cholate in having a side chain containing four rather than five carbon atoms) on bile flow and biliary lipid secretion were compared with those of cholate, using the anesthetized rat with a bile fistula. Norcholate and cholate were infused intravenously over the range of 0.6-6.0 mumol X min-1 X kg-1. Both bile acids were quantitatively secreted into bile; norcholate was secreted predominantly in unconjugated form in contrast to cholate, which was secreted predominantly as its taurine or glycine conjugates. The increase in bile flow per unit increase in bile acid secretion induced by norcholate infusion [17 +/- 3.2 (SD) microliters/mumol, n = 8] was much greater than that induced by cholate infusion (8.6 +/- 0.9 microliters/mumol, n = 9) (P less than 0.001). Both bile acids induced phospholipid and cholesterol secretion. For an increase in bile acid secretion (above control values) of 1 mumol X min-1 X kg-1, the increases in phospholipid secretion [0.052 +/- 0.024 (SD) mumol X min-1 X kg-1, n = 9] and cholesterol secretion (0.0071 +/- 0.0033 mumol X min-1 X kg-1, n = 9) induced by norcholate infusion were much less than those induced by cholate infusion (0.197 +/- 0.05 mumol X min-1 X kg-1, n = 9, and 0.024 +/- 0.011 mumol X min-1 X kg-1, n = 9, respectively; P less than 0.001 for both phospholipid and cholesterol). The strikingly different effects of norcholate on bile flow and biliary lipid secretion were attributed mainly to its possessing a considerably higher critical micellar concentration than cholate.
