lüll Modeling of transcellular Ca transport in rat duodenum points to coexistence of two mechanisms of apical entry Slepchenko BM; Bronner FAm J Physiol Cell Physiol 2001[Jul]; 281 (1): C270-81Employing realistic parameters, we have demonstrated that a relatively simple mathematical model can reproduce key features of steady-state Ca2+ transport with the assumption of two mechanisms of Ca2+ entry: a channel-like flux and a carrier-mediated transport. At low luminal [Ca2+] (1-5 mM), facilitated entry dominates and saturates with Km = 0.4 mM. At luminal [Ca2+] of tens of millimolar, apical permeability is dominated by the channel flux that in turn is regulated by cytosolic Ca2+. The model reproduces the linear relationship between maximum Ca2+ transport rate and intestinal calbindin D9K (CaBP) content. At luminal [Ca2+] > 50 mM, local sensitivity analysis shows transcellular transport to be most sensitive to variations in CaBP. At low luminal [Ca2+], transport becomes sensitive to apical entry regulation. The simulations have been run within the Virtual Cell modeling environment, yielding the time course of external Ca2+ and spatiotemporal distributions of both intracellular Ca2+ and CaBP. Coexistence of two apical entry mechanisms accords with the properties of the duodenal Ca2+ transport protein CaT1 and the epithelial Ca2+ channel ECaC.|Animals[MESH]|Calcium/*metabolism[MESH]|Cell Polarity[MESH]|Duodenum/*metabolism[MESH]|Ion Transport[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Vitamin D/pharmacology[MESH] |
