To investigate the bioelectric properties on one of the cell types that line the distal lung unit, we isolated type II alveolar epithelium from 18- to 20-day gestation fetal rats (term = 22 days) and grew them on collagen-coated nitrocellulose filters. Amiloride impaired ion transport in a dose-dependent fashion (10(-4) to 10(-6) M) with 10(-4) M decreasing potential difference (PD) (mean +/- SE, 2.0 +/- 0.49 to 0.9 +/- 0.26 mV, P less than 0.01, lumen negative) and short-circuit current (Isc) (7.0 +/- 1.0 to 2.4 +/- 0.64 uA/cm2, P less than 0.01) without affecting resistance (R) (241 +/- 33 to 216 +/- 41 omega. cm2). Benzamil (10(-5) M) but not dimethylamiloride (10(-5) M) decreased Isc. Terbutaline (10(-3) M) increased PD from 1.2 +/- 0.13 to 3.3 +/- 0.40 mV (P less than 0.01), and application of amiloride (10(-4) M) after terbutaline reduced PD and Isc to less than initial base-line values. The Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl- cotransport inhibitors bumetanide (10(-4) M) and furosemide (10(-3) M) had no effect on PD and Isc either before or after terbutaline. Neither the Cl- channel blocker diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (10(-3) M) nor the Na(+)-glucose cotransport inhibitor phloridzin (10(-3) M) affected the bioelectric properties. Fetal type II alveolar epithelium in primary culture actively transport ions and, on the basis of inhibitor-agonist experiments, probably do not secrete Cl- but absorb Na+ through Na+ channels.
