چکیده

1. Airway epithelium in cystic fibrosis is characterized by a defect in chloride secretion across the apical membrane and an increase in sodium absorption. The increased rate of sodium absorption can be inhibited in vitro by ouabain, a Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, and in cystic fibrosis patients the number and activity of nasal epithelial Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pumps is increased. 2. We have performed a series of studies to determine whether drugs which modify airway epithelial Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in vitro can modify nasal potential in cystic fibrosis patients in vivo. As transepithelial nasal potential difference measurements were used to study the effect of drug modulation of airway epithelial ion transport in vivo, the repeatability of the technique was first evaluated. In order to assess the effectiveness of the technique used for measuring nasal potential difference, a pilot study was carried out using topical amiloride, a drug which has previously been shown to inhibit airway epithelium sodium transport in vivo. We then studied the effects of ouabain and digoxin, two inhibitors of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, on nasal potential difference. 3. In study 1, nasal potential difference measurements were repeated on non-consecutive days in 20 patients with cystic fibrosis and 20 healthy individuals. Healthy subjects had a mean (SEM) potential difference value of -19.5 (0.9) mV with a 95% range for a single estimate of 75-133%. In patients with cystic fibrosis, the mean (SEM) potential difference was -40.4, (2.1) mV, with a 95% range for a single estimate of 74-136%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A new device for in vivo measurement of nasal transepithelial potential difference in cystic fibrosis patients and normal subjects.

Measurement of transepithelial potential difference (PD) on the nasal mucosa has been proposed to test for defective ion transport in cystic fibrosis (CF), and its possible correction after gene therapy or other treatments. The "classical" method records nasal PD under the inferior turbinate, with the disadvantage that the tip of the electrode is not seen by the operator. We have developed a pu...

Transepithelial nasal potential difference (NPD) measurements in cystic fibrosis (CF).

The main underlying physiologic abnormality in cystic fibrosis (CF) is dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which results in abnormal transport of sodium and chloride across epithelial surfaces. CFTR function could be tested in vivo using measurements of nasal transepithelial potential difference (PD). Nasal measurements show characteristic features of CF epithelia,...

Relationships between nasal potential difference and respiratory function in adults with cystic fibrosis.

This study investigated the relations between nasal transepithelial electric potential difference (PD) and the phenotype and genotype of cystic fibrosis (CF) adult patients. Basal nasal PD was measured in 95 adult CF patients who were classified into three groups of nasal PD (expressed as absolute values) according to the 10th and the 90th percentiles (28.3 and 49.2 mV, respectively), which def...
