Mucus of cystic fibrosis patients exhibits altered biochemical composition and biophysical behavior, but the causal relationships between altered cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function and the abnormal mucus seen in various organ systems remain unclear. We used cultured gallbladder epithelial cells (GBEC) from wild-type and Cftr((-/-)) mice to investigate mucin gene...
Umar, Shahid, Jason Scott, Joseph H. Sellin, William P. Dubinsky, and Andrew P. Morris. Murine colonic mucosa hyperproliferation. I. Elevated CFTR expression and enhanced cAMP-dependent Cl2 secretion. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 278: G753–G764, 2000.—Fluid transport in the large intestine is mediated by the cystic fibrosis gene product and cAMP-dependent anion channel cystic fibrosi...
RATIONALE Cigarette smoke extract inhibits chloride secretion in human bronchial epithelial cells. Oxidants decrease gene expression, protein expression, and function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). OBJECTIVES Because cigarette smoke is a rich source of oxidants, we verified the hypothesis that CFTR may be suppressed by exposure to cigarette smoke in vitro a...
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent chloride channel located mainly at the apical membrane of epithelial cells. In myocytes of pulmonary arteries, numerous chloride channels have been identified and described, but not the CFTR. Thus the presence and function of the CFTR was investigated in rat intrapulmona...
W1282X is a common nonsense mutation among cystic fibrosis patients that results in the production of a truncated Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) channel. Here we show that the channel activity of the W1282X-CFTR polypeptide is exceptionally low in excised membrane patches at normally saturating doses of ATP and PKA (single channel open probability (PO) < 0.01). Howev...
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a topical airway gland secretagogue regulating fluid secretions, primarily by stimulating cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-dependent chloride secretion that contributes to the airways innate defense mechanism. We previously reported that prolonged VIP stimulation of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide receptors (VPAC1) ...
BACKGROUND Altered cardiac function has been observed in cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) knockout mice. However, whether this alteration is a direct effect of CFTR disruption in the heart, or is secondary due to systemic loss of CFTR, remains to be elucidated. METHODS Cardiac function of mice with muscle-specific or global knockout of CFTR was evaluated at baseline and under β-...
The epithelial response to bacterial airway infection, a common feature of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis, has been extensively studied. However, its impact on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel function is not clearly defined. Our aims were, therefore, to evaluate the effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on CFTR funct...
CFTR is a PKA activated Cl(-) channel expressed in the apical membrane of fluid transporting epithelia. We previously demonstrated that c-Cbl decreases CFTR stability in the plasma membrane by facilitating its endocytosis and lysosomal degradation in human airway epithelium. The most common mutation associated with cystic fibrosis, deletion of Phe508 (∆F508), leads to a temperature sensitive bi...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disorder caused by mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Despite recent groundbreaking approval of genotype-specific small-molecule drugs, a significant portion of CF patients still lack effective therapeutic options that address the underlying cause of the disease. Through a phenotypic high-throughput screen of...
