Although the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is primarily implicated in the regulation of plasma-membrane chloride permeability, immunolocalization and functional studies indicate the presence of CFTR in the endosomal compartment. The mechanism of CFTR delivery from the cell surface to endosomes is not understood. To delineate the internalization pathway, both the rate and extent of CFTR accumulation in endosomes were monitored in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The role of clathrin-dependent endocytosis was assessed in cells exposed to hypertonic medium, potassium depletion or intracellular acid-load. These treatments inhibited clathrin-dependent endocytosis by >90%, as verified by measurements of 125I-transferrin uptake. Functional association of CFTR with newly formed endosomes was determined by an endosomal pH dissipation protocol [Lukacs, Chang, Kartner, Rotstein, Riordan and Grinstein (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 14568-14572]. As a second approach, endocytosis of CFTR was determined after cell-surface biotinylation with the cleavable sulphosuccinimidyl-2-(biotinamido)ethyl-1,3-dithio- propionate. Both the biochemical and the functional assays indicated that arresting the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles inhibited the retrieval of the CFTR from the plasma membrane to endosomes. An overall arrest of membrane traffic cannot account for the inhibition of CFTR internalization, since the fluid-phase endocytosis was not effected by the treatments used. Thus the efficient, constitutive internalization of surface CFTR (5% per min) occurs, predominantly by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Stimulation of protein phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and by protein kinase C decreased the rate of internalization of cell-surface biotinylated CFTR, and contributed to a substantial diminution of the internal CFTR pool compared with that of unstimulated cells. These results suggest that the rate of CFTR internalization may participate in the determination of the CFTR channel density, and consequently, of the cAMP-stimulated chloride conductance of the plasma membrane.

Tracheal epithelial cells and skin fibroblasts from different cystic fibrosis (CF) patients bearing the deltaF508 mutation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) released more arachidonic acid in response to bradykinin than do other CF and normal cells. Immortalized tracheal epithelial cell lines were used as models to study the mechanisms of this dysregulation. An 85 kD cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) was found in these cells and bradykinin increased its binding to membranes of deltaF508 cells (CFT-2) but not to those of a double heterozygous CF cells (CFT-1), or of control cells (NT-1). The expression of G alpha(q)/11 protein was also increased in deltaF508 cells, with increased stimulation of phosphatidylinositol diphosphate-specific phospholipase C (PLC) by bradykinin, and an early, transient activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. As the binding of cPLA2 to membranes is Ca2+-dependent, the increased coupling to PLC could cause the hypersensitivity to bradykinin. Comparison of the effects of bradykinin to those observed with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of calcium reuptake, suggests that the increase of intracellular calcium is not the only mechanism involved in arachidonic acid release by bradykinin in deltaF508 cells. The lack of effect of calcium ionophore A23187 or TPA on arachidonic acid release from any of the cell lines suggested that activation needs a PKC-independent cPLA2 phosphorylation step, perhaps via MAP kinase activation. The binding of cPLA2 to membranes after bradykinin stimulation still occurred in CFT2 cells (deltaF508) homogenized in EDTA, suggesting that a membrane component plus increased intracellular calcium influenced cPLA2 anchoring to membranes. The defective processing of deltaF508 CFTR seems to increase cPLA2 stimulation by bradykinin, since the bradykinin-stimulated release of arachidonic acid is reversed by growing cells at 28 degrees C for 48 h. The deltaF508 mutation of CFTR appears to increase the stimulation of cPLA2 by Gq-mediated receptors in a PKC-independent and MAP kinase-dependent manner. Hence normal CFTR, or normally processed deltaF508 CFTR, inhibit cPLA2 stimulation. The greater reactivity of deltaF508 CFTR cells to inflammatory mediators might be part of the increased sensitivity of CF patients to lung inflammation.

It is well-established that in heart, both the L-type Ca2+ channel and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl- channel are regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. However, it is not clear whether both of these channels are regulated in concert by protein kinase A (PKA) or whether there are mechanisms that independently control the phosphorylation of these two PKA targets. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various protein phosphatase and protein kinase inhibitors on these two ionic currents (ICa and ICl) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes to gain insight into these questions. We found that both the stimulation and washout of the effects of isoproterenol on ICl are about twice as fast as the effects on ICa, probably because the dephosphorylation reaction for ICl is faster than that for ICa. In contrast, inhibition of protein phosphatases with 10 microM microcystin stimulated both ICa and ICl, but the stimulation of ICl was much slower and smaller than the stimulation of ICa. The effect of microcystin was inhibited by staurosporine (Ki = 171.5 and 161 nM for ICa and ICl, respectively), suggesting that the stimulation was due to a kinase. The kinase was not protein kinase C (PKC) because it was not inhibited by the specific pseudosubstrate inhibitor of PKC, PKC(19-31), and it was not PKA because it was not inhibited by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphorothioate. These results suggest that although both the Ca2+ and Cl- channels are regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, another protein kinase may also regulate these channels, and the kinetics of the response of the channels to phosphorylation can be modulated independently by protein phosphatases.

The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in regulating the protein kinase A (PKA)-activated Cl- current conducted by the cardiac isoform of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cCFTR) was studied in guinea pig ventricular myocytes using the whole cell patch-clamp technique. Although stimulation of endogenous PKC with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) alone did not activate this Cl- current, even when intracellular dialysis was limited with the perforated patch-clamp technique, activation of PKC did elicit a significant response in the presence of PKA-dependent activation of the current by the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol. PDBu increased the magnitude of the Cl- conductance activated by a supramaximally stimulating concentration of isoproterenol by 21 +/- 3.3% (n = 9) when added after isoproterenol and by 36 +/- 16% (n = 14) when introduced before isoproterenol. 4alpha-Phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate, a phorbol ester that does not activate PKC, did not mimic these effects. Preexposure to chelerythrine or bisindolylmaleimide, two highly selective inhibitors of PKC, significantly reduced the magnitude of the isoproterenol-activated Cl- current by 79 +/- 7.7% (n = 11) and 52 +/- 10% (n = 8), respectively. Our results suggest that although acute activation of endogenous PKC alone does not significantly regulate cCFTR Cl- channel activity in native myocytes, it does potentiate PKA-dependent responses, perhaps most dramatically demonstrated by basal PKC activity, which may play a pivotal role in modulating the function of these channels.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) can be activated by protein kinase A (PKA)- or protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation. To understand how activation of both kinases affects CFTR activity, transfected NIH/3T3 cells were stimulated with forskolin (FSK), phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), or prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF). PGF stimulates inositol trisphosphate and cAMP production in NIH/3T3 cells. As measured by I- efflux, maximal CFTR activity with PGF and FSK was equivalent and fivefold greater than that with PMA. Both PGF and PMA had additive effects on FSK-dependent CFTR activity. PMA did not increase cellular cAMP, and maximal PGF-dependent CFTR activity occurred with approximately 20% of the cellular cAMP observed with FSK-dependent activation. Staurosporine, but not H-89, inhibited CFTR activation and in vivo phosphorylation at low PGF concentrations. In contrast, at high PGF concentrations, CFTR activation and in vivo phosphorylation were inhibited by H-89. As judged by protease digestion, the sites of in vivo CFTR phosphorylation with FSK and PMA differed. For PGF, the data were most consistent with in vivo CFTR phosphorylation by PKA and PKC. Our data suggest that activation of PKC can enhance PKA-dependent CFTR activation.

1. We investigated the effect of protein kinases and phosphatases on murine cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels, expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, using iodide efflux and the excised inside-out configuration of the patch-clamp technique. 2. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol dibutyrate, enhanced cAMP-stimulated iodide efflux. However, PKC did not augment the single-channel activity of either human or murine CFTR Cl- channels that had previously been activated by protein kinase A. 3. Fluoride, a non-specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases, stimulated both human and murine CFTR Cl- channels. However, calyculin A, a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, did not enhance cAMP-stimulated iodide efflux. 4. The alkaline phosphatase inhibitor, (-)-bromotetramisole augmented cAMP-stimulated iodide efflux and, by itself, stimulated a larger efflux than that evoked by cAMP agonists. However, (+)-bromotetramisole, the inactive enantiomer, had the same effect. For murine CFTR, neither enantiomer enhanced single-channel activity. In contrast, both enantiomers increased the open probability (Po) of human CFTR, suggesting that bromotetramisole may promote the opening of human CFTR. 5. As murine CFTR had a low Po and was refractory to stimulation by activators of human CFTR, we investigated whether murine CFTR may open to a subconductance state. When single-channel records were filtered at 50 Hz, a very small subconductance state of murine CFTR was observed that had a Po greater than that of human CFTR. The occupancy of this subconductance state may explain the differences in channel regulation observed between human and murine CFTR.

Several proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily can affect ion channel function. These include the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, the sulfonylurea receptor, and the multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (MDR1). We measured whole cell swelling-activated Cl- currents (ICl,swell) in parental cells and cells expressing wild-type MDR1 or a phosphorylation-defective mutant (Ser-661, Ser-667, and Ser-671 replaced by Ala). Stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with a phorbol ester reduced the rate of increase in ICl,swell only in cells that express MDR1. PKC stimulation had no effect on steady-state ICl,swell. Stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) with 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate reduced steady-state ICl, swell only in MDR1-expressing cells. PKA stimulation had no effect on the rate of ICl,swell activation. The effects of stimulation of PKA and PKC on ICl,swell were additive (i.e., decrease in the rate of activation and reduction in steady-state ICl,swell). The effects of PKA and PKC stimulation were absent in cells expressing the phosphorylation-defective mutant. In summary, it is likely that phosphorylation of MDR1 by PKA and by PKC alters swelling-activated Cl- channels by independent mechanisms and that Ser-661, Ser-667, and Ser-671 are involved in the responses of ICl,swell to stimulation of PKA and PKC. These results support the notion that MDR1 phosphorylation affects ICl,swell.

We investigated the regulation of cardiac cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels by protein kinase C (PKC) in Xenopus oocytes injected with cRNA encoding the cardiac (exon 5-) CFTR Cl- channel isoform. Membrane currents were recorded using a two-electrode voltage clamp technique. Activators of PKC or a cAMP cocktail elicited robust time-independent Cl- currents in cardiac CFTR-injected oocytes, but not in control water-injected oocytes. The effects of costimulation of both pathways were additive; however, maximum protein kinase A (PKA) activation occluded further activation by PKC. In oocytes expressing either the cardiac (exon 5-) or epithelial (exon 5+) CFTR isoform, Cl- currents activated by PKA were sustained, whereas PKC-activated currents were transient, with initial activation followed by slow current decay in the continued presence of phorbol esters, the latter effect likely due to down-regulation of endogenous PKC activity. The specific PKA inhibitor, adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate (Rp-cAMPS), and various protein phosphatase inhibitors were used to determine whether the stimulatory effects of PKC are dependent upon the PKA phosphorylation state of cardiac CFTR channels. Intraoocyte injection of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N, N,N-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) or pretreatment of oocytes with BAPTA-acetoxymethyl-ester (BAPTA-AM) nearly completely prevented dephosphorylation of CFTR currents activated by cAMP, an effect consistent with inhibition of protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) by chelation of intracellular Mg2+. PKC-induced stimulation of CFTR channels was prevented by inhibition of basal endogenous PKA activity, and phorbol esters failed to stimulate CFTR channels trapped into either the partially PKA phosphorylated (P1) or the fully PKA phosphorylated (P1P2) channel states. Site-directed mutagenesis of serines (S686 and S790) within two consensus PKC phosphorylation sites on the cardiac CFTR regulatory domain attentuated, but did not eliminate, the stimulatory effects of phorbol esters on mutant CFTR channels. The effects of PKC on cardiac CFTR Cl- channels are consistent with a simple model in which PKC phosphorylation of the R domain facilitates PKA-induced transitions from dephosphorylated (D) to partially (P1) phosphorylated and fully (P1P2) phosphorylated channel states.

1. P2-purinoceptors couple extracellular ATP to the activation of a Cl- current (ICl,ATP) in heart. We studied the molecular mechanism and intracellular signalling pathways of ICl,ATP activation in mouse heart. 2. Extracellular adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATPgammaS; 100 microM) activated ICl,ATP in both atrial and ventricular myocytes. A specific PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide blocked the effect of ATPgammaS while a PKC activator, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) activated a current with identical properties to ICl,ATP. Maximal activation of ICl,ATP by ATPgammaS or PDBu occluded further modulation by the other agonist, suggesting that they may activate the same population of Cl- channels. 3. Isoprenaline increased ICl,ATP pre-activated by ATPgammaS or PDBu, while isoprenaline or forskolin alone failed to activate any Cl- current in these myocytes. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothionate, a PKA inhibitor, prevented ATPgammaS or PDBu activation of ICl,ATP. Thus, ICl,ATP is regulated by dual intracellular phosphorylation pathways involving both PKA and PKC in a synergistic manner similar to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels. 4. Glibenclamide (50 microM) significantly blocked ICl,ATP activated by ATPgammaS or by the CFTR channel activator, levamisole. 5. The slope conductance of the unitary ICl,ATP in cell-attached patches was 11.8 +/- 0.3 pS, resembling the known properties of CFTR Cl- channels in cardiac myocytes. 6. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot analysis revealed CFTR mRNA expression in mouse heart. 7. We conclude that ICl,ATP in mouse heart is due to activation of CFTR Cl- channels through a novel intracellular signalling pathway involving purinergic activation of PKC and PKA.

The effect of genistein on anion secretion via cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in cultured rat cauda epididymal epithelia was studied by short-circuit current (Isc) technique. Genistein added apically stimulated a concentration-dependent rise in Isc due to Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) secretion. The genistein-induced Isc was observed in basolaterally permeabilized monolayers, suggesting that the Isc response was mediated by the apical anion channel. The response could be blocked by the nonspecific Cl(-) channel blocker, diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC), but not by the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel blocker, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). Genistein did not increase intracellular cAMP, but H-89, a protein kinase A inhibitor, completely abolished the Isc response to genistein. Moreover, pretreatment of the tissues with MDL-12330A, an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, markedly attenuated the Isc response to genistein, but the response was restored upon the addition of exogenous cAMP. Ca(2+), protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, and protein phosphatase signalling pathways were not involved in the action of genistein. It is speculated that genistein stimulates anion secretion by direct interaction with CFTR. This requires a low level of phosphorylation of CFTR by basal protein kinase A activity. It is suggested that genistein may provide therapeutic benefit to male infertility associated with cystic fibrosis.
