We examined the effect of Mg2+ on potential difference (PD) and short circuit current (SCC) of the posterior epithelial membrane of canine trachea using an Ussing chamber. After the exchange to a Mg(2+)-free solution, PD and SCC rapidly increased, reaching maximal values within 3 min, followed by a gradual return towards the baseline over 60 min. In a Ca(2+)-free solution, Mg2+ removal did not alter PD and SCC values. Increased Mg2+ in the solution produced significant gradual decreases in PD and SCC. The decreases in PD and SCC were reversed by the addition of excessive Ca2+ to the solution. Mg2+ removal did not alter significantly isoproterenol-induced increases in PD and SCC values, while increased Mg2+ significantly reduced the increases. These findings indicate that extracellular Mg2+ is an important determinant in ion transport across the airway epithelium, probably through antagonistic actions of Mg2+ and Ca2+.
