C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a hormone which stimulates particulate guanylate cyclase activity, was studied for its ability to stimulate chloride permeability through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in airway epithelial cells. Two cell lines, Calu-3 and CF-T43, were used as models of normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelial cells, respectively. Calu-3 cells, derived from a lung carcinoma, express relatively high levels of wild-type CFTR. CF-T43 is a transformed line derived from a nasal polyp and expresses the mutant CFTR, deltaF508. Calu-3 cells exposed to the nucleotide guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) analogue 8-Br-cGMP exhibit increased 36Cl- efflux, demonstrating that cGMP can mediate changes in chloride permeability. CNP induces a bumetanide-sensitive short circuit current across Calu-3 monolayers. Whole-cell currents stimulated by CNP display linear current-voltage relationships and have inhibitor pharmacology and ion selectivity consistent with CFTR channel activity. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an activator of soluble guanylate cyclase, and CNP both increase cGMP levels and short circuit current in Calu-3 cells. In contrast, exposure of CF-T43 cells to CNP resulted in an increased 36Cl- efflux rate only when combined with the adenylate cyclase agonist isoproterenol and the response was sensitive to kinase inhibitors. CF-T43 cells exposed to isoproterenol and SNP showed no increase in chloride efflux. Together, these data indicate that CNP can activate wild-type and mutant CFTR through a cAMP-dependent protein kinase pathway and that the sensitivity of Calu-3 cells for this stimulation is greater than that of the CF-T43 cells.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelia exhibit enhanced Na+ reabsorption in parallel with diminished Cl- secretion. We tested the hypothesis that actin plays a role in the regulation of a cloned epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). We found that immunopurified bovine tracheal CFTR coreconstituted into a planar lipid bilayer with alpha,beta,gamma-rat ENaC (rENaC) decreased single-channel open probability (Po) of rENaC in the presence of actin by over 60%, a significantly greater effect than was observed in the absence of actin (approximately 20%). In the presence of actin, protein kinase A plus ATP activated both CFTR and rENaC, but CFTR was activated in a sustained manner, whereas the activation of rENaC was transitory. ATP alone could also activate ENaC transiently in the presence ofactin but had no effect on CFTR. Stabilizing short actin filaments at a fixed length with gelsolin (at a ratio to actin of 2:1) produced a sustained activation of alpha,beta,gamma-rENaC in both the presence or absence of CFTR. Gelsolin alone (i.e., in the absence of actin) had no effect on the conductance or Po of either CFTR or rENaC. We have also found that short actin filaments produced their modulatory action on alpha-rENaC independent of the presence of the beta- or gamma-rENaC subunits. In contrast, CFTR did not affect any properties of the channel formed by alpha-rENaC alone, i.e., in the absence of beta- or gamma-rENaC. These results indicate that CFTR can directly downregulate single Na+ channel activity, which may account for the observed differences between Na+ transport in normal and CF-affected airway epithelia. Moreover, the presence of actin confers an enhanced modulatory ability of CFTR on Na+ channels.

Abnormal regulation of ion channels by members of the ABC transport protein superfamily has been implicated in hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and in excessive Na+ absorption by airway epithelia in cystic fibrosis (CF). How ABC proteins regulate ion conductances is unknown, but must generally involve either the number or activity of specific ion channels. Here we report that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which is defective in CF, reverses the regulation of the activity of single epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) by cAMP. ENaC expressed alone in fibroblasts responded to activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase with increased open probability (Po) and mean open time, whereas ENaC co-expressed with CFTR exhibited decreased Po and mean open time under conditions optimal for PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation. Thus, CFTR regulates ENaC at the level of single channel gating, by switching the response of single channel Po to cAMP from an increase to a decrease.

Human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channels were expressed in oocytes from Xenopus laevis after injection of CFTR cRNA and studied with the two-electrode voltage-clamp and the giant patch techniques. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein alone activated a small chloride current in whole oocytes expressing CFTR and substantially increased the chloride current obtained upon stimulation with forskolin and isobutyl methylxanthine (IBMX). In giant excised patches, genistein was unable to open protein-kinase-A-phosphorylated CFTR channels in the absence of ATP, but increased the ATP-induced CFTR channel currents by a factor of 3.8 +/- 1.7. This genistein-mediated potentiation in excised patches is independent of protein phosphatase activity, as it is readily reversible, even after complete inhibition of protein kinase A activity. Involvement of protein tyrosine kinases also seems unlikely, because this effect of genistein is not antagonized by high concentrations of the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor ortho-vanadate. We, therefore, propose a direct interaction of genistein with CFTR, probably at a nucleotide binding site, which leads to a higher open probability.

Whole cell patch-clamp studies were performed with tissue isolated from the cystic fibrosis (CF) transgenic Cftrm1cam mouse, to determine whether anion currents in choroid plexus epithelial cells require the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Inclusion of 0.25 mM adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and 375 nM protein kinase A (PKA) in the pipette solution caused a significant activation of a Cl(-)-selective, inward-rectifying conductance in cells from wild-type and CF mice. The small, outward currents observed in wild-type and CF animals, however, were not activated by cAMP-PKA. There were no significant differences in the size of currents between wild-type, heterozygote, and CF cells in the presence or absence of cAMP-PKA. A second whole cell conductance was activated when cells from wild-type mice were swollen. These volume-activated currents were Cl- selective and exhibited outward rectification. They were Ca2+ independent and ATP dependent and blocked by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid. The volume-activated channels were also activated in CF mutant cells, and there was no significant difference in the size of the volume-activated currents between wild-type, heterozygote, and CF cells. It is concluded that CFTR neither contributes to the whole cell conductance nor regulates the other anion conductances in choroid plexus epithelial cells.

To investigate the functional significance of individual consensus phosphorylation sites within the R domain of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), serines were eliminated by substituting them with alanine. Included in this analysis were serine-660, -670, -686, -700, -712, -737, -768, -795, and -813, which lie within protein kinase A consensus sequences, and serine-641, which does not. Elimination of single potential phosphorylation sites altered the sensitivity of CFTR (expressed in Xenopus oocytes) to activating conditions in a manner that was highly site dependent. Substitution at serine-660, -670, -700, -795, or -813 significantly increased the half-maximal activation constant (KA) for activation by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, which is consistent with the hypothesis that phosphorylation at any of these sites promotes CFTR activation. The effect of substitution at serine-813 was significantly greater than at the other sites. In contrast, alanine substitution at serine-737 or -768 actually decreased the KA for activation, suggesting that phosphorylation at either of these sites is inhibitory. Substitution at serine-641, -686, and -712 had no significant effect on activation sensitivity. The effects of multiple serine to alanine substitutions were consistent with the notion that phosphorylation at individual sites produced roughly additive effects, suggesting that the effect produced by phosphorylation of any one serine was not dependent on the phosphorylation state of other serines. These results are consistent with the notion that, although none of the phosphorylation sites studied here are absolutely necessary for activation of CFTR, individual sites contribute differently to the gating of the channel.

Cystic fibrosis results from defective Cl- channel activity mediated by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene product. In the gastrointestinal tract this is manifested in abnormal salivary secretion and pancreatic insufficiency. This is generally attributed to defective Cl- transport by the ductal system of the glands. We provide the first immunocytochemical and functional evidence for expression of CFTR protein and Cl- current in rat and mouse submandibular gland (SMG) and pancreatic acinar cells, a site proximal to the ductal system of these secretory glands. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies recognizing COOH-terminal epitopes of CFTR show that duct and acinar cells from the two glands express CFTR in the luminal membrane. Specificity of the polyclonal antibody was verified by absence of staining in duct and acinar cells of the SMG of cf-/cf- and delta F/delta F mice. Identification of CFTR in acinar cells was aided by demonstrating coexpression of CFTR and type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors in the luminal pole of acini and absence of type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors in ducts. Electrophysiological characterization in single SMG duct and acinar cells shows the presence of a protein kinase A-activated, voltage- and time-independent, ohmic Cl- current and absence of repolarization-dependent tail currents, all of which are kinetic properties of the CFTR-dependent Cl- channel. In addition, the channel was activated by the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate and the benzimidazalone NS-004. Channels activated by all activators were inhibited by glibenclamide and a known inhibitory antiserum [anti-CFTR-(505-511)]. Combined immunologic, functional, and pharmacological evidence allows us to conclude that acinar cells of the SMG and pancreas express functional CFTR-dependent Cl- channels. Because this site is proximal to the duct, modification of activity of this channel in acinar cells is likely to contribute to abnormal salivary secretion and pancreatic insufficiency typical of cystic fibrosis.

Previous studies have revealed an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-independent activation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. To further explore its mechanism of action, we have reconstituted genistein activation of CFTR in excised inside-out membrane patches. In the presence or absence of ATP, genistein appeared unable to open silent CFTR Cl- channels. However, on CFTR prephosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK), genistein enhanced CFTR activity by twofold, resulting from a prolonged burst duration. Genistein could also hyperactivate partially phosphorylated CFTR in the absence of cAK and therefore is different from 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate, which required fully phosphorylated CFTR. Phosphatase-resistant thiophosphorylation likewise primed the CFTR Cl- channel for hyperactivation by genistein in the absence of cAK. Replacement of ATP by GTP as a hydrolyzable nucleotide triphosphate for CFTR did not impair the ability of genistein to activate thiophosphorylated CFTR, despite the fact that GTP is a poor substrate for tyrosine kinases. These findings argue against a role of protein phosphatases or tyrosine kinases but suggest a more direct interaction of genistein with CFTR, possibly at the level of the second nucleotide-binding domain.

Many plasma membrane Cl- channels have been cloned, including the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and several members of the voltage-gated ClC family. In contrast, very little is known about the molecular identity of intracellular Cl- channels. We used a polymerase chain reaction-based approach to identify candidate genes in mammalian brain and cloned the cDNA corresponding to rat brain p64H1. This encoded a microsomal membrane protein of predicted Mr 28,635 homologous to the putative intracellular bovine kidney Cl- channel p64. In situ mRNA hybridization histochemistry showed marked expression in hippocampus and cerebellum, and in vitro expression revealed a large cytoplasmic domain, one membrane-spanning segment, and a small nonglycosylated N-terminal luminal domain. The predicted protein contained consensus phosphorylation sites for protein kinase C and protein kinase A, and protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation increased the Mr of p64H1 to approximately 43,000, characteristic of the native protein in Western blots. Recombinant p64H1 was immunolocalized to the endoplasmic reticulum of human embryonic kidney 293 and HT-4 cells, and incorporation of human embryonic kidney 293 endoplasmic reticulum vesicles into planar lipid bilayers gave rise to intermediate conductance, outwardly rectifying anion channels. Although p64H1 is the first intracellular Cl- channel component or regulator to be identified in brain, Northern blotting revealed transcripts in many other rat tissues. This suggests that p64H1 may contribute widely to intracellular Cl- transport.

For a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel to enter its open state, serine residues in the R domain must be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and intracellular ATP must bind to the nucleotide-binding folds and subsequently be hydrolyzed. CFTR with its R domain partially removed, DeltaR(708-835)-CFTR, forms a chloride channel that opens independently of protein kinase A phosphorylation, with open probability approximately one-third that of the wild type CFTR channel. Deletion of this portion of the R domain from CFTR alters the response of the channel to 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate, pyrophosphate, and vanadate, compounds that prolong burst duration of the wild type CFTR channel but fail to do so in the DeltaR-CFTR. In addition, the addition of exogenous unphosphorylated R domain protein, which blocks the wild type CFTR channel, has no effect on the DeltaR-CFTR channel. However, when the exogenous R domain is phosphorylated, significant stimulation of the DeltaR-CFTR channel results; Po increases from 0.10 to 0.22. These data are consistent with a model for CFTR function in which the R domain in the unphosphorylated state interacts with the first nucleotide binding fold to inhibit either binding or hydrolysis of ATP or transduction of the effect to open the pore, but when the R domain is phosphorylated, it undergoes conformational change and interacts at a separate site in the first nucleotide binding fold to stimulate either binding or hydrolysis of ATP or transduction of the effect to open the pore.
