| Popis: | Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the gene for CFTR, a cAMP-activated anion channel expressed in apical membranes of wet epithelia. Since CFTR is permeable to HCO3(-), and may regulate bicarbonate exchangers, it is not surprising evidence of changes in extracellular pH (pHo) have been found in CF. Previously we have shown that tracking pHo can be used to differentiate cells expressing wild-type CFTR from controls in mouse mammary epithelial (C127) and fibroblast (NIH/3T3) cell lines. In this study we characterized forskolin-stimulated extracellular acidification rates in epithelia where chemical correction of mutant ΔF508-CFTR converted an aberrant response in acidification (10%+ increase) to wild-type (25%+ decrease). Thus treatment with corrector (10% glycerol) and the resulting increased expression of ΔF508-CFTR at the surface was detected by microphysiometry as a significant reversal from acidification to alkalization of pHo. These results suggest that CFTR activation as well as correction can be detected by carefully monitoring pHo and support findings in the field that extracellular pH acidification may impact the function of airway surface liquid in CF. |
