Nitric oxide inhibits heterologous CFTR expression in polarized epithelial cells.

چکیده
Nitric oxide (⋅ NO) has been implicated in a wide range of autocrine and paracrine signaling mechanisms. Herein, we assessed the role of exogenous ⋅ NO in the modulation of heterologous gene expression in polarized kidney epithelial cells (LLC-PK1) that were stably transduced with a cDNA encoding human wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) under the control of a heavy metal-sensitive metallothionein promoter (LLC-PK1-WTCFTR). Exposure of these cells to 125 μM DETA NONOate at 37°C for 24 h (a chemical ⋅ NO donor) diminished Zn2+-induced and uninduced CFTR protein levels by 43.3 ± 5.1 and 34.4 ± 17.1% from their corresponding control values, respectively. These changes did not occur if red blood cells, effective scavengers of ⋅ NO, were added to the medium. Exposure to ⋅ NO did not alter lactate dehydrogenase release in the medium or the extent of apoptosis. Coculturing LLC-PK1-WTCFTR cells with murine fibroblasts that were stably transduced with the human inducible ⋅ NO synthase cDNA gene also inhibited CFTR protein expression in a manner that was antagonized by 1 mM N G-monomethyl-l-arginine in the medium. Pretreatment of LLC-PK1-WTCFTR with ODQ, an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase, did not affect the ability of ⋅ NO to inhibit heterologous CFTR expression; furthermore, 8-bromo-cGMP had no effect on heterologous CFTR expression. These data indicate that ⋅ NO impairs the heterologous expression of CFTR in epithelial cells at the protein level via cGMP-independent mechanisms.

Nitric Oxide Inhibits Cyclic Amp-dependent Cftr Trafficking in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Nitric oxide is produced during intestinal inflammation and inhibits the epithelial responsiveness to cAMP-dependent secretagogues. The effect is presumably due to inhibition of activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). However, since insertion of CFTR into the epithelial apical membrane is also a cAMP-dependent process, we tested the hypothesis that NO could...

متن کاملTrafficking of GFP-tagged DeltaF508-CFTR to the plasma membrane in a polarized epithelial cell line.
The DeltaF508 mutation reduces the amount of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expressed in the plasma membrane of epithelial cells. However, a reduced temperature, butyrate compounds, and "chemical chaperones" allow DeltaF508-CFTR to traffic to the plasma membrane and increase Cl(-) permeability in heterologous and nonpolarized cells. Because trafficking is affected by...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-dependent regulation of epithelial inducible nitric oxide synthase expression.
Recent evidence has shown that the inducible form of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS2) has reduced expression in airway epithelia of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) despite the presence of chronic inflammation. The goal of this paper is to determine whether NOS2 expression is regulated by the presence of functional CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Using a human trachea epitheli...
