Disease relevance of CFTR

 

High impact information on CFTR

 

Chemical compound and disease context of CFTR

  • A growing body of evidence suggests that there are marked similarities in the properties of the cAMP-dependent chloride channels in heart and cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) chloride channels found in airway epithelia or in cells expressing the CFTR gene product [10].
 

Biological context of CFTR

  • Comparison of the amino acid sequence of NBD1 of human CFTR with the deduced sequence of the rabbit heart PCR product indicated 98% identity [10].
  • Glibenclamide markedly inhibited CFTR Cl- currents in a voltage-independent manner at 22 degrees C, with estimated IC50 values of 12.5 and 11.0 mumol/L at +50 and -100 mV, respectively [1].
  • Endocytosis of wt-CFTR and CFTR-DeltaTRL did not differ [11].
  • Pulse-chase studies in combination with domain-selective cell surface biotinylation revealed that newly synthesized wt-CFTR and CFTR-DeltaTRL were targeted equally to the apical and basolateral membranes in a nonpolarized fashion [11].
  • The relationship between cell proliferation, Cl- secretion, and renal cyst growth: a study using CFTR inhibitors [4].
 

Anatomical context of CFTR

  • Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were used to compare the effects of glibenclamide on CFTR Cl- currents in guinea pig ventricular myocytes, swelling-activated Cl- currents in guinea pig atrial myocytes, and Ca(2+)-activated Cl- currents in canine ventricular myocytes [1].
  • We tested the hypothesis that the PDZ interacting domain regulates sorting of CFTR from the Golgi to the apical plasma membrane [11].
  • In contrast, when 3T3 fibroblasts stably expressing CFTR were stimulated with cAMP agonists, cell ATP levels decreased [12].
  • Using a series of defined chimeric and truncated proteins expressed in a reticulocyte lysate system, we have identified two topogenic determinants encoded within the first (TM1) and second (TM2) membrane-spanning segments of CFTR [13].
  • Disruption of the microtubular cytoskeleton with colchicine did not affect cAMP-stimulated Cl- secretion or GFP-CFTR expression in the apical membrane [14].
 

Associations of CFTR with chemical compounds

  • These results suggest that glibenclamide, an inhibitor of cardiac CFTR Cl- channels, also inhibits swelling-activated and Ca(2+)-activated Cl- channels at higher concentrations [1].
  • We conclude that CFTR chloride channels are expressed in heart and are responsible for the observed cAMP-dependent chloride conductance [10].
  • We conclude that cAMP stimulates CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion in MDCK type I cells by activating channels resident in the apical plasma membrane [14].
  • Mutating charged residues Glu92 and Lys95 to alanine improved TM1 signal sequence activity as well as the ability of TM1 to independently direct CFTR N terminus topology [13].
  • Iodide efflux measurements indicate that CFTR expression confers a plasma membrane anion conductance that is responsive to stimulation by cAMP [3].
 

Other interactions of CFTR

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CFTR

  • Assaying for possible changes in CFTR by immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemical localization revealed that CFTR appeared as an immature 140-kDa form intracellularly in conventional cultures [16].
  • Immunofluorescence microscopic studies revealed intracellular colocalization of mucins and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) [17].
  • Interestingly, at low multiplicity of infection, we observed FSK-stimulated insertion of M2901/CFTR into the apical PM, whereas at higher M2-901/CFTR expression levels, no increase in surface expression was detected using indirect immunofluorescence [5].
  • Immunoelectron microscopy of unstimulated and FSK-stimulated cells confirmed the M2-901/CFTR redistribution to the PM upon FSK stimulation and demonstrates that the apically inserted M2-901/CFTR originates from a population of subapical vesicles [5].
  • The presence of CFTR was confirmed by immunoprecipitation followed by Western blotting [18].
