Thick airway surface liquid volume and weak mucin expression in pendrin-deficient human airway epithelia
Pendrin is an anion exchanger whose mutations are known to cause hearing loss. However, recent data support the linkage between pendrin expression and airway diseases, such as asthma. To evaluate the role of pendrin in the regulation of the airway surface liquid (ASL) volume and mucin expression, we investigated the function and expression of pendrin and ion channels and anion exchangers. Human...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the pendrin gene.
Pendrin (SLC26A4), a Cl(-)/anion exchanger encoded by the gene PDS, is highly expressed in the kidney, thyroid and inner ear epithelia and is essential for bicarbonate secretion/chloride reabsorption, iodide accumulation and endolymph ion balance, respectively. The molecular mechanisms controlling pendrin activity in renal, thyroid and inner ear epithelia have been the subject of recent studies...
متن کاملThixotropic solutions enhance viral-mediated gene transfer to airway epithelia.
Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to airway epithelia is inefficient in part because its receptor is absent on the apical surface of the airways. Targeting adenovirus to other receptors, increasing the viral concentration, and even prolonging the incubation time with adenovirus vectors can partially overcome the lack of receptors and facilitate gene transfer. Unfortunately, mucociliary clearanc...
متن کاملPendrin function and regulation in Xenopus oocytes.
SLC26A4/PDS mutations cause Pendred Syndrome and non-syndromic deafness. but some aspects of function and regulation of the SLC26A4 polypeptide gene product, pendrin, remain controversial or incompletely understood. We have therefore extended the functional analysis of wildtype and mutant pendrin in Xenopus oocytes, with studies of isotopic flux, electrophysiology, and protein localization. Pen...
متن کاملNonselective cation transport in native esophageal epithelia.
Rabbit esophageal epithelia actively transport Na(+) in a manner similar to that observed in classic electrically tight Na(+)-absorbing epithelia, such as frog skin. However, the nature of the apical entry step is poorly understood. To address this issue, we examined the electrophysiological and biochemical nature of this channel. Western blotting experiments with epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC...
