Mutations in the SLC9A3 gene can cause congenital sodium diarrhea (CSD). However, understanding the precise role of intestinal NHE3 has been severely hampered due to the lack of a suitable animal model. To navigate this problem and better understand the role of intestinal NHE3, we generated a tamoxifen-inducible intestinal epithelial cell-specific NHE3 knockout mouse model (NHE3IEC-KO). Before tamoxifen administration, the phenotype and blood parameters of NHE3IEC-KO were unremarkable compared with control mice. After tamoxifen administration, NHE3IEC-KO mice have undetectable levels of NHE3 in the intestine. NHE3IEC-KO mice develop watery, alkaline diarrhea in combination with a swollen small intestine, cecum and colon. The persistent diarrhea results in higher fluid intake. After 3 weeks, NHE3IEC-KO mice show a \u223c25% mortality rate. The contribution of intestinal NHE3 to acid\u2013base and Na+ homeostasis under normal conditions becomes evident in NHE3IEC-KO mice that have metabolic acidosis, lower blood bicarbonate levels, hyponatremia and hyperkalemia associated with drastically elevated plasma aldosterone levels. These results demonstrate that intestinal NHE3 has a significant contribution to acid\u2013base, Na+ and volume homeostasis, and lack of intestinal NHE3 has consequences on intestinal structural integrity. This mouse model mimics and explains the phenotype of individuals with CSD carrying SLC9A3 mutations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/cs20200065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,30]],"date-time":"2020-03-30T10:18:00Z","timestamp":1585563480000},"page":"941-953","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["An inducible intestinal epithelial cell-specific NHE3 knockout mouse model mimicking congenital sodium diarrhea"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Jianxiang","family":"Xue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linto","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Tahmasbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Cell Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandria","family":"Valdez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica A.","family":"Dominguez Rieg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert\u00a0A.","family":"Fenton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6082-662X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timo","family":"Rieg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021113011113111200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-physiol-012110-142244","article-title":"Regulation of electroneutral NaCl absorption by the small intestine","volume":"73","author":"Kato","year":"2011","journal-title":"Annu.
