Abstract
Several studies have already identified the prognostic markers in colorectal cancer (CRC) based on somatic copy number alteration (SCNA). However, very little information is available regarding their value as a prognostic marker. Gene dosage effect is one important mechanism of copy number and dosage-sensitive genes are more likely to behave like driver genes. In this work, we propose a new pipeline to identify the dosage-sensitive prognostic genes in CRC. The RNAseq data, the somatic copy number of CRC from TCGA were assayed to screen out the SCNAs. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to identify the differentially expressed genes in alteration samples with |SCNA| > 0.3. Cox-regression was used to find the candidate prognostic genes. An iterative algorithm was built to identify the stable prognostic genes. Finally, the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated between gene expression and SCNA as the dosage effect score. The cell line data from CCLE was used to test the consistency of the dosage effect. The differential co-expression network was built to discover their function in CRC. A total of six amplified genes (NDUFB4, WDR5B, IQCB1, KPNA1, GTF2E1, and SEC22A) were found to be associated with poor prognosis. They demonstrate a stable prognostic classification in more than 50% threshold of SCNA. The average dosage effect score was 0.5918 ± 0.066, 0.5978 ± 0.082 in TCGA and CCLE, respectively. They also show great stability in different data sets. In the differential co-expression network, these six genes have the top degree and are connected to the driver and tumor suppressor genes. Function enrichment analysis revealed that gene NDUFB4 and GTF2E1 affect cancer-related functions such as transmembrane transport and transformation factors. In conclusion, the pipeline for identifying the prognostic dosage-sensitive genes in CRC was proved to be stable and reliable.

Abstract
BackgroundTwin studies suggest that genetic factors may account for up to 50% increased risk for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), but genome-wide association studies for NEC are lacking.MethodsGenotyping was done on Illumina BeadChip, followed by analysis using PLINK with logistic regression under an additive model.ResultsAmong 751 extremely-low-birth-weight (<1,000 g, >401 g) neonates, 30 had surgical NEC. Two hundred and sixty-one single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showed association with NEC at P<0.05, of which 35 were significant at P<10-7. Minor allele(s) in a cluster of SNPs spanning a 43-kb region of chromosome 8 (8q23.3) conferred an odds ratio of 4.72 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51-8.88) for elevated risk of NEC. Two smaller clusters on chromosome 14 and chromosome 11 exhibited P values of 10-7-10-8. The chromosome 8 cluster is in an intergenic region between CUB and Sushi multiple domains 3 (-1.43 Mb) and trichorhinophalangeal syndrome I (+542 kb). RNA sequencing in this region identified a potential novel open-reading frame corresponding to a long interspersed element-1 retrotransposable element.ConclusionGenetic variation in an intergenic region of chromosome 8 is associated with increased risk for NEC with a mechanism that is yet to be identified.

Role of Interaction and Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase B in Regulation of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Function by cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase A.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis results from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and ATP-regulated chloride channel. Here, we demonstrate that nucleoside diphosphate kinase B (NDPK-B, NM23-H2) forms a functional complex with CFTR. In airway epithelia forskolin/IBMX significantly increases NDPK-B co-localisation with CFTR whereas PKA inhibitors attenuate complex formation. Furthermore, an NDPK-B derived peptide (but not its NDPK-A equivalent) disrupts the NDPK-B/CFTR complex in vitro (19-mers comprising amino acids 36–54 from NDPK-B or NDPK-A). Overlay (Far-Western) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) analysis both demonstrate that NDPK-B binds CFTR within its first nucleotide binding domain (NBD1, CFTR amino acids 351–727). Analysis of chloride currents reflective of CFTR or outwardly rectifying chloride channels (ORCC, DIDS-sensitive) showed that the 19-mer NDPK-B peptide (but not its NDPK-A equivalent) reduced both chloride conductances. Additionally, the NDPK-B (but not NDPK-A) peptide also attenuated acetylcholine-induced intestinal short circuit currents. In silico analysis of the NBD1/NDPK-B complex reveals an extended interaction surface between the two proteins. This binding zone is also target of the 19-mer NDPK-B peptide, thus confirming its capability to disrupt NDPK-B/CFTR complex. We propose that NDPK-B forms part of the complex that controls chloride currents in epithelia.

Abstract
It is known that subjects with periodontitis show enhanced amylase concentration in saliva. Our purpose was to analyze the release of amylase in parotid glands from rats with experimental periodontitis and controls. We present evidence that periodontitis induces an increase in resting amylase activity and release without changes in isoproterenol-induced amylase secretion. Changes in amylase were reverted by the inhibition of the adenylyl cyclase by SQ 22536, the cyclooxygenase type 1 by FR 122047 and by blocking the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor with VIP 6-28. Parotid glands from rats with periodontitis showed an increase in cAMP levels that was also reverted in the presence of SQ 22536, FR 122047 and VIP 6-28. We concluded that both PGE(2) and VIP are produced in parotid glands from rats with periodontitis and, by activating their own receptors in acinar cells, induce cAMP accumulation leading to an increase in amylase basal secretion.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan (PGN) is a potent immune adjuvant derived from bacterial cell walls. Previous investigations suggest that intestinal epithelium may absorb PGN from the lumen. Nonetheless, how PGN is taken up and crosses intestinal epithelium remains largely unclear. Here, we first characterized PGN transport in vitro using IEC-18 and HT29-CL19A cells, which represent less mature epithelial cells in intestinal crypts. With fluorescent microscopy, we visualized internalization of dual-labeled PGN by enterocytes. Engulfed PGN was found to form a complex with PGN recognition protein-3, which may facilitate delivering PGN in vivo. Utilizing electronic microscopy, we revealed that uptake of apical PGN across intestinal epithelial monolayers was involved in phagocytosis, multivesicular body formation, and exosome secretion. We also studied transport of PGN using the transwell system. Our data indicated that apically loaded PGN was exocytosed to the basolateral compartment with exosomes by HT29-CL19A cells. The PGN-contained basolateral exosome extracts induced macrophage activation. Through gavaging mice with labeled PGN, we found that luminal PGN was taken up by columnar epithelial cells in crypts of the small intestine. Furthermore, we showed that pre-confluent immature but not post-confluent mature C2BBe1 cells engulfed PGN via a toll-like receptor 2-dependent manner. Together, our findings suggest that (1) crypt-based immature intestinal epithelial cells play an important role in transport of luminal PGN over the intestinal epithelium; and (2) luminal PGN is transcytosed across intestinal epithelia via a toll-like receptor 2-mediated phagocytosis-multivesicular body-exosome pathway. The absorbed PGN and its derivatives may facilitate maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis.

Abstract
It has been shown that when CFTR and NHE3 are co-expressed on the apical membrane of the A6-NHE3 cell monolayers, the two transporters interact via a shared regulatory complex composed of NHERF2, ezrin, and PKA. We observe here that co-expression of NHE3 reduced both PKA-dependent apical CFTR expression and its activation once in place by approximately 50%. To analyze the role of NHERF2 in this process, we transfected NHE3 expressing and non-expressing A6 monolayers with NHERF2 cDNA in which its binding domains had been deleted. When only CFTR is expressed on the apical membrane, deletion of any of the NHERF2 binding domains inhibited both PKA-dependent apical CFTR expression and its activation, while when NHE3 was co-expressed with CFTR PDZ2 deletion was without effect on CFTR sorting and activity. This suggests that when the PDZ2 domain is "sequestered" by interacting with NHE3 it can no longer participate in CFTR functional expression.

Abstract
There is evidence that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) interacting proteins play critical roles in the proper expression and function of CFTR. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor isoform 1 (NHERF1) was the first identified CFTR-binding protein. Here we further clarify the role of NHERF1 in the regulation of CFTR activity in two human bronchial epithelial cell lines: the normal, 16HBE14o-, and the homozygous DeltaF508 CFTR, CFBE41o-. Confocal analysis in polarized cell monolayers demonstrated that NHERF1 distribution was associated with the apical membrane in 16HBE14o- cells while being primarily cytoplasmic in CFBE41o- cells. Transfection of 16HBE14o- monolayers with vectors encoding for wild-type (wt) NHERF1 increased both apical CFTR expression and apical protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent CFTR-mediated chloride efflux, whereas transfection with NHERF1 mutated in the binding groove of the PDZ domains or truncated for the ERM domain inhibited both the apical CFTR expression and the CFTR-dependent chloride efflux. These data led us to hypothesize an important role for NHERF1 in regulating CFTR localization and stability on the apical membrane of 16HBE14o- cell monolayers. Importantly, wt NHERF1 overexpression in confluent DeltaF508 CFBE41o- and DeltaF508 CFT1-C2 cell monolayers induced both a significant redistribution of CFTR from the cytoplasm to the apical membrane and a PKA-dependent activation of CFTR-dependent chloride secretion.

Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) is a multifunctional protein that plays important roles in many biological processes including cell adhesion and migration, wound healing and inflammation. Cellular FNs are produced by a wide variety of cell types including epithelial cells, which secrete them and often organize them into extensive extracellular matrices at their basal surface. However, regulation of FN synthesis and the polarity of FN secretion by intestinal epithelial cells have not been investigated. In the present study we investigated the role of adenosine, whose levels are up-regulated during inflammation, in modulating FN synthesis, the polarity of FN secretion and the downstream effects of the secreted FN. Polarized monolayers of T84 cells were used as an intestinal epithelial model. Adenosine added to either the apical or basolateral aspect of the cells led to a time- and dose-dependent accumulation of FN in the culture supernatants, polarized to the apical compartment and reached maximal levels 24 h after apical or basolateral addition of adenosine. Confocal microscopy confirmed that FN localized to the apical domain of model intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with apical or basolateral adenosine. The induction of FN was significantly down-regulated in response to the adenosine receptor antagonist alloxazine and was inhibited by cycloheximide. Moreover, adenosine increased FN promoter activity (3.5-fold compared with unstimulated controls) indicating that FN induction is, in part, transcriptionally regulated. Interestingly, we demonstrated that adenosine, as well as apical FN, significantly enhanced the adherence and invasion of Salmonella typhimurium into cultured epithelial cells. In summary, we have shown for the first time that FN, a classic extracellular matrix protein, is secreted into the apical compartment of epithelial cells in response to adenosine. FN may be a critical host factor that modulates adherence and invasion of bacteria, thus playing a key role in mucosal immune responses during inflammation.

Abstract
Adenosine, acting through the A2b receptor, induces vectorial chloride and IL-6 secretion in intestinal epithelia and may play an important role in intestinal inflammation. We have previously shown that apical or basolateral adenosine receptor stimulation results in the recruitment of the A2b receptor to the plasma membrane. In this study, we examined domain specificity of recruitment and the role of soluble N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins in the agonist-mediated recruitment of the A2b receptor to the membrane. The colonic epithelial cell line T84 was used because it only expresses the A2b-subtype adenosine receptor. Cell fractionation, biotinylation, and electron microscopic studies showed that the A2b receptor is intracellular at rest and that apical or basolateral adenosine stimulation resulted in the recruitment of the receptor to the apical membrane. Upon agonist stimulation, the A2b receptor is enriched in the vesicle fraction containing vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-2. Furthermore, in cells stimulated with apical or basolateral adenosine, we demonstrate a complex consisting of VAMP-2, soluble NEM-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP)-23, and A2b receptor that is coimmunoprecipitated in cells stimulated with adenosine within 5 min and is no longer detected within 15 min. Inhibition of trafficking with NEM or nocodazole inhibits cAMP synthesis induced by apical or basolateral adenosine by 98 and 90%, respectively. cAMP synthesis induced by foskolin was not affected, suggesting that generalized signaling is not affected under these conditions. Collectively, our data suggest that 1) the A2b receptor is intracellular at rest; 2) apical or basolateral agonist stimulation induces recruitment of the A2b receptor to the apical membrane; 3) the SNARE proteins, VAMP-2 and SNAP-23, participate in the recruitment of the A2b receptor; and 4) the SNARE-mediated recruitment of the A2b receptor may be required for its signaling.

Abstract
The focus of this review is the regulated trafficking of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in distal compartments of the protein secretory pathway and the question of how changes in CFTR cellular distribution may impact on the functions of polarized epithelial cells. We summarize data concerning the cellular localization and activity of CFTR and attempt to synthesize often conflicting results from functional studies of regulated endocytosis and exocytosis in CFTR-expressing cells. In some instances, findings that are inconsistent with regulated CFTR trafficking may result from the use of overexpression systems or nonphysiological experimental conditions. Nevertheless, judging from data on other transporters, an appropriate cellular context is necessary to support regulated CFTR trafficking, even in epithelial cells. The discovery that disease mutations can influence CFTR trafficking in distal secretory and recycling compartments provides support for the concept that regulated CFTR recycling contributes to normal epithelial function, including the control of apical CFTR channel density and epithelial protein secretion. Finally, we propose molecular mechanisms for regulated CFTR endocytosis and exocytosis that are based on CFTR interactions with other proteins, particularly those whose primary function is membrane trafficking. These models provide testable hypotheses that may lead to elucidation of CFTR trafficking mechanisms and permit their experimental manipulation in polarized epithelial cells.

Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) mediate membrane fusion reactions in eukaryotic cells by assembling into complexes that link vesicle-associated SNAREs with SNAREs on target membranes (t-SNAREs). Many SNARE complexes contain two t-SNAREs that form a heterodimer, a putative intermediate in SNARE assembly. Individual t-SNAREs (e.g., syntaxin 1A) also regulate synaptic calcium channels and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the epithelial chloride channel that is defective in cystic fibrosis. Whether the regulation of ion channels by individual t-SNAREs is related to SNARE complex assembly and membrane fusion is unknown. Here we show that CFTR channels are coordinately regulated by two cognate t-SNAREs, SNAP-23 (synaptosome-associated protein of 23 kDa) and syntaxin 1A. SNAP-23 physically associates with CFTR by binding to its amino-terminal tail, a region that modulates channel gating. CFTR-mediated chloride currents are inhibited by introducing excess SNAP-23 into HT29-Cl.19A epithelial cells. Conversely, CFTR activity is stimulated by a SNAP-23 antibody that blocks the binding of this t-SNARE to the CFTR amino-terminal tail. The physical and functional interactions between SNAP-23 and CFTR depend on syntaxin 1A, which binds to both proteins. We conclude that CFTR channels are regulated by a t-SNARE complex that may tune CFTR activity to rates of membrane traffic in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Current models put forward that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is efficiently internalized via clathrin-coated pits only in response to ligand-induced activation of its intrinsic tyrosine kinase and is subsequently directed into a lysosomal-proteasomal degradation pathway by mechanisms that include receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitylation. Herein, we report a novel mechanism of EGFR internalization that does not require ligand binding, receptor kinase activity, or ubiquitylation and does not direct the receptor into a degradative pathway. Inhibition of basal protein kinase A (PKA) activity by H89 and the cell-permeable substrate peptide Myr-PKI induced internalization of 40-60% unoccupied, inactive EGFR, and its accumulation into early endosomes without affecting endocytosis of transferrin and mu-opioid receptors. This effect was abrogated by interfering with clathrin function. Thus, the predominant distribution of inactive EGFR at the plasma membrane is not simply by default but involves a PKA-dependent restrictive condition resulting in receptor avoidance of endocytosis until it is stimulated by ligand. Furthermore, PKA inhibition may contribute to ligand-induced EGFR endocytosis because epidermal growth factor inhibited 26% of PKA basal activity. On the other hand, H89 did not alter ligand-induced internalization of EGFR but doubled its half-time of down-regulation by retarding its segregation into degradative compartments, seemingly due to a delay in the receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitylation. Our results reveal that PKA basal activity controls EGFR function at two levels: 1) residence time of inactive EGFR at the cell surface by a process of "endocytic evasion," modulating the accessibility of receptors to stimuli; and 2) sorting events leading to the down-regulation pathway of ligand-activated EGFR, determining the length of its intracellular signaling. They add a new dimension to the fine-tuning of EGFR function in response to cellular demands and cross talk with other signaling receptors.

Abstract
Activation of the chloride selective anion channel CFTR is stimulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and is regulated by the target membrane t-SNARE syntaxin 1A. The mechanism by which SNARE proteins modulate CFTR in secretory epithelia is controversial. In addition, controversy exists as to whether PKA activates CFTR-mediated Cl- currents (ICFTR) by increasing the number of channels in the plasma membrane and/or by stimulating membrane-resident channels. SNARE proteins play a well known role in exocytosis and have recently been implicated in the regulation of ion channels; therefore this investigation sought to resolve two related issues:(a) is PKA activation or SNARE protein modulation of CFTR linked to changes in membrane turnover and (b) does syntaxin 1A modulate CFTR via direct effects on the gating of channels residing in the plasma membrane versus alterations in membrane traffic. Our data demonstrate that syntaxin 1A inhibits CFTR as a result of direct protein-protein interactions that decrease channel open probability (Po) and serves as a model for other SNARE protein-ion channel interactions. We also show that PKA activation can enhance membrane trafficking in some epithelial cell types, and this is independent from CFTR activation or syntaxin 1A association.

Abstract
We identified a novel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-associating, PDZ domain-containing protein, CAL (CFTR associated ligand) containing two predicted coiled-coiled domains and one PDZ domain. The PDZ domain of CAL binds to the C terminus of CFTR. Although CAL does not have any predicted transmembrane domains, CAL is associated with membranes mediated by a region containing the coiled-coil domains. CAL is located primarily at the Golgi apparatus, co-localizing with trans-Golgi markers and is sensitive to Brefeldin A treatment. Immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that CAL exists as a multimer. Overexpression of CAL reduces CFTR chloride currents in mammalian cells and decreases expression, rate of insertion and half-life of CFTR in the plasma membrane. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor, NHE-RF, a subplasma membrane PDZ domain protein, restores cell surface expression of CFTR and chloride currents. In addition, NHE-RF inhibits the binding of CAL to CFTR. CAL modulates the surface expression of CFTR. CAL favors retention of CFTR within the cell, whereas NHE-RF favors surface expression by competing with CAL for the binding of CFTR. Thus, the regulation of CFTR in the plasma membrane involves the dynamic interaction between at least two PDZ domain proteins.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) plays a central role in the control of vesicle budding and protein transit. We previously showed that in resting epithelial HT29-cl19A cells, PLD is implicated in the control of constitutive protein transit, from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane, and that phorbol ester stimulation of protein transit is correlated with PLD activation (Auger, R., Robin, P., Camier, B., Vial, G., Rossignol, B., Tenu, J.-P., and Raymond, M.-N. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 28652-28659). In this paper we demonstrate that: 1) PLD is not implicated in the earliest phases of protein transit; 2) PLD controls apical but not basolateral protein transit; 3) HT29-cl19A cells express PLD1b and PLD2a mRNAs and proteins; 4) the expression of a catalytically inactive mutant of PLD2 (mPLD2-K758R) significantly inhibited apical constitutive protein transit whereas expression of a catalytically inactive mutant of PLD1 (hPLD1b-K898R) prevented increases in the rate of apical transit as triggered by phorbol esters; 5) PLD2 appears to be located in a perinuclear region containing the Golgi whereas PLD1, which is scattered in the cytoplasm in resting cells, is translocated to the plasma membrane after phorbol ester stimulation. Taken together, these data lead to the conclusion that in HT29-cl19A cells, both PLDs regulate protein transit between the trans-Golgi network and the apical plasma membrane, but that they do so at different steps in the pathway.

Abstract
Subcellular targeting of the components of the cAMP-dependent pathway is thought to be essential for intracellular signaling. Here we have identified a novel protein, named myomegalin, that interacts with the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase PDE4D, thereby targeting it to particulate structures. Myomegalin is a large 2,324-amino acid protein mostly composed of alpha-helical and coiled-coil structures, with domains shared with microtubule-associated proteins, and a leucine zipper identical to that found in the Drosophila centrosomin. Transcripts of 7.5-8 kilobases were present in most tissues, whereas a short mRNA of 2.4 kilobases was detected only in rat testis. A third splicing variant was expressed predominantly in rat heart. Antibodies against the deduced sequence recognized particulate myomegalin proteins of 62 kDa in testis and 230-250 kDa in heart and skeletal muscle. Immunocytochemistry and transfection studies demonstrate colocalization of PDE4D and myomegalin in the Golgi/centrosomal area of cultured cells, and in sarcomeric structures of skeletal muscle. Myomegalin expressed in COS-7 cells coimmunoprecipitated with PDE4D3 and sequestered it to particulate structures. These findings indicate that myomegalin is a novel protein that functions as an anchor to localize components of the cAMP-dependent pathway to the Golgi/centrosomal region of the cell.

Abstract
The small GTP-binding protein ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is an essential component of the molecular machinery that catalyzes the formation of membrane-bound transport intermediates. By using an in vitro assay that reproduces recruitment of cytosolic proteins onto purified, high salt-washed Golgi membranes, we have analyzed the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) on ARF1 incorporation. Addition to this assay of either pure catalytic subunits of PKA (C-PKA) or cAMP increased ARF1 binding. By contrast, ARF1 association was inhibited following C-PKA inactivation with either PKA inhibitory peptide or RIIalpha as well as after cytosol depletion of C-PKA. C-PKA also stimulated recruitment and activation of a recombinant form of human ARF1 in the absence of additional cytosolic components. The binding step could be dissociated from the activation reaction and found to be independent of guanine nucleotides and saturable. This step was stimulated by C-PKA in an ATP-dependent manner. Dephosphorylated Golgi membranes exhibited a decreased ability to recruit ARF1, and this effect was reverted by addition of C-PKA. Following an increase in the intracellular level of cAMP, ARF proteins redistributed from cytosol to the perinuclear Golgi region of intact cells. Collectively, the results show that PKA exerts a key regulatory role in the recruitment of ARF1 onto Golgi membranes. In contrast, PKA modulators did not affect recruitment of beta-COP onto Golgi membranes containing prebound ARF1.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis gene encodes a chloride channel (CFTR) that regulates transepithelial salt and water transport. Two classes of CFTR-binding proteins appear to link the opposing cytoplasmic tails of this channel to distinct regulatory networks. Such interactions may constitute new paradigms for modulating CFTR activity in health and disease.

Abstract
The Golgi complex represents a major subcellular location of protein kinase A (PKA) concentration in mammalian cells where it has been previously shown to be involved in vesicle-mediated protein transport processes. We have studied the factors that influence the interaction of PKA typeII subunits with the Golgi complex. In addition to the cytosol, both the catalytic (Calpha) and regulatory (RIIalpha) subunits of PKAII were detected at both sides of the Golgi stack, particularly in elements of the cis- and trans-Golgi networks. PKAII subunits, in contrast, were practically absent from the middle Golgi cisternae. Cell treatment with either brefeldin A, AlF(4-) or at low temperature induced PKAII dissociation from the Golgi complex and redistribution to the cytosol. This suggested the existence of a cycle of association/dissociation of PKAII holoenzyme to the Golgi. The interaction of purified RIIalpha with Golgi membranes was studied in vitro and found not to be affected by brefeldin A while it was sensitive to modulators of heterotrimeric G proteins such as AlF(4-), GTPgammaS, beta(gamma) subunits and mastoparan. RII(alphaa) binding was stimulated by recombinant, myristoylated Galpha(i3) subunit and inhibited by cAMP. Pretreatment of Golgi membranes with bacterial toxins known to catalyze ADP-ribosylation of selected Galpha subunits also modified RIIalpha binding. Taken together the data support a regulatory role for Golgi-associated Galpha proteins in PKAII recruitment from the cytosol.

Abstract
Colonic epithelial HT29-cl19A cells are polarized and secrete proteins among which alpha(1)-antitrypsin represents about 95%. Secretion occurs via a constitutive pathway, so that the rates of secretion directly reflect the rates of protein transit. In this paper we have demonstrated that: 1) in resting cells phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in the control of apical protein transit; 2) phorbol esters stimulate apical protein transit (stimulation factor 2.2), which is correlated with a PLD-catalyzed production of phosphatidic acid (PA) (2.45-fold increase); 3) the stimulation of cholinergic receptors by carbachol results in an increase (stimulation factor 1.45) of apical protein transit which is independent of protein kinase C and PLD activities, but related to PA formation (1.7-fold increase) via phospholipase(s) C and diacylglycerol kinase activation; 4) an elevation of the cAMP level enhances apical protein transit by a PA-independent mechanism; 5) a trans-Golgi network or post-trans-Golgi network step of the transit is the target for the regulatory events. In conclusion, we have shown that PA can be produced by two independent signaling pathways; whatever the pathway followed, a close relationship between the amount of PA and the level of secretion was observed.

Abstract
Ca2+-regulated exocytosis, previously believed to be restricted to specialized cells, was recently recognized as a ubiquitous process. In mammalian fibroblasts and epithelial cells, exocytic vesicles mobilized by Ca2+ were identified as lysosomes. Here we show that elevation in intracellular cAMP potentiates Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes in normal rat kidney fibroblasts. The process can be modulated by the heterotrimeric G proteins Gs and Gi, consistent with activation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Normal rat kidney cell stimulation with isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist that activates adenylyl cyclase, enhances Ca2+-dependent lysosome exocytosis and cell invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi, a process that involves parasite-induced [Ca2+]i transients and fusion of host cell lysosomes with the plasma membrane. Similarly to what is observed for T. cruzi invasion, the actin cytoskeleton acts as a barrier for Ca2+-induced lysosomal exocytosis. In addition, infective stages of T. cruzi trigger elevation in host cell cAMP levels, whereas no effect is observed with noninfective forms of the parasite. These findings demonstrate that cAMP regulates lysosomal exocytosis triggered by Ca2+ and a parasite/host cell interaction known to involve Ca2+-dependent lysosomal fusion.

Abstract
Heterologous expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) provided evidence that the major cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation DeltaF508 leads to defective protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, which prevents its processing and targeting to the cell surface. In this study, we investigated endogenous CFTR expression in skin biopsies and respiratory and intestinal tissue specimens from DeltaF508 homozygous and non-CF patients, using immunohistochemical and immunoblot analyses with a panel of CFTR antibodies. CFTR expression was detected at the luminal surface of reabsorptive sweat ducts and airway submucosal glands, at the apex of ciliated cells in pseudostratified respiratory epithelia and of isolated cells of the villi of duodenum and jejunum, and within intracellular compartments of intestinal goblet cells. In DeltaF508 homozygous patients, expression of the mutant protein proved to be tissue specific. Whereas DeltaF508 CFTR was undetectable in sweat glands, the expression in the respiratory and intestinal tracts could not be distinguished from the wild-type by signal intensity or localization. The tissue-specific variation of DeltaF508 CFTR expression from null to apparently normal amounts indicates that DeltaF508 CFTR maturation can be modulated and suggests that determinants other than CFTR mislocalization should play a role in DeltaF508 CF respiratory and intestinal disease.

Abstract
Intracellular CFTR: Localization and Function. Physiol. Rev. 79, Suppl.: S175-S191, 1999. - There is considerable evidence that CFTR can function as a chloride-selective anion channel. Moreover, this function has been localized to the apical membrane of chloride secretory epithelial cells. However, because cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an integral membrane protein, it will also be present, to some degree, in a variety of other membrane compartments (including endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi stacks, endosomes, and lysosomes). An incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which alterations in an apical membrane chloride conductance could give rise to the various clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis has prompted the suggestion that CFTR may also play a role in the normal function of certain intracellular compartments. A variety of intracellular functions have been attributed to CFTR, including regulation of membrane vesicle trafficking and fusion, acidification of organelles, and transport of small anions. This paper aims to review the evidence for localization of CFTR in intracellular organelles and the potential physiological consequences of that localization.

Abstract
Role of CFTR in Airway Disease. Physiol. Rev. 79, Suppl.: S215-S255, 1999. - Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which accounts for the cAMP-regulated chloride conductance of airway epithelial cells. Lung disease is the chief cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. This review focuses on mechanisms whereby the deletion or impairment of CFTR chloride channel function produces lung disease. It examines the major themes of the channel hypothesis of CF, which involve impaired regulation of airway surface fluid volume or composition. Available evidence indicates that the effect of CFTR deletion alters physiological functions of both surface and submucosal gland epithelia. At the airway surface, deletion of CFTR causes hyperabsorption of sodium chloride and a reduction in the periciliary salt and water content, which impairs mucociliary clearance. In submucosal glands, loss of CFTR-mediated salt and water secretion compromises the clearance of mucins and a variety of defense substances onto the airway surface. Impaired mucociliary clearance, together with CFTR-related changes in the airway surface microenvironment, leads to a progressive cycle of infection, inflammation, and declining lung function. Here, we provide the details of this pathophysiological cascade in the hope that its understanding will promote the development of new therapies for CF.

Abstract
The low-density-lipoprotein-receptor-related protein (LRP) binds and internalizes numerous ligands, including lipoproteins, proteinase-inhibitor complexes and others. We have shown previously that LRP-mediated ligand internalization is dependent on cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity. Here, we investigated whether ligation of LRP increases the intracellular cAMP level and PKA activity via a stimulatory GTP-binding protein. Treatment of LRP-expressing cell lines with the LRP ligands lactoferrin or urokinase-type plasminogen activator caused a significant elevation in cAMP and stimulated PKA activity in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of the 39 kDa receptor-associated protein (RAP), an antagonist for ligand interactions with LRP, blocked the lactoferrin-induced increase in PKA activity, demonstrating a requirement for ligand binding to LRP. Incubation of cell membrane fractions with lactoferrin increased GTPase activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and treatment with LRP ligands suppressed cholera-toxin-mediated ADP-ribosylation of the Gsalpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein. Affinity precipitation of LRP with RAP resulted in co-precipitation of two isoforms of Gsalpha from detergent extracts. We thus conclude that LRP is a signalling receptor that associates directly with a stimulatory heterotrimeric G-protein and activates a downstream PKA-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Mast cells and basophils produce a wide range of cytokines, including large amounts of both IL-6 and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF). However, the route by which cytokines are secreted is poorly understood. In the current study, we used two inhibitors of vesicular transport, brefeldin A and monensin, to examine the routes of secretion of IL-6 and GM-CSF in the differentiated KU812 human cell line and cultured mouse bone marrow mast cells (mBMMC). Studies of cytokine production over 6 to 24 h demonstrated that IL-6 and GM-CSF release from both cell types were inhibited by brefeldin A (BFA) following activation with calcium ionophore, A23187. Monensin had similar inhibitory effects to that of BFA on the initial and ongoing IL-6 release from KU812 cells. In contrast, the amount of each cytokine remaining within the cells was significantly enhanced. Similar results were obtained following IgE-mediated activation of mBMMC. BFA significantly inhibited both the constitutive secretion of IL-6 and the immediate ionophore-induced increase in IL-6 release from KU812 cells at 20 min postactivation. However, treatment with these agents did not alter the release of histamine and β-hexaminidase from either mBMMC or KU812 cells. These studies suggest that both the initial 20-min release of IL-6 and secretion of IL-6 and GM-CSF over up to 24 h by mBMMC and differentiated KU-812 cells occur predominately through a vesicular transport-dependent mechanism, and that little, if any, IL-6 and GM-CSF is released through degranulation.

Abstract
Despite its quantitative importance in the secretion of lactoproteins, little is known about the triggering and control mechanisms that initiate, regulate and terminate the operation of the basal pathway of lactoprotein secretion throughout the lactation cycle. This study investigated the possible modulation by cAMP-mediated mechanisms, of cellular transit of newly-synthesised caseins and their basal secretion in explants of mammary tissue from lactating rats and rabbits. Enhancement of the rate of secretion of newly-synthesised caseins occurs when mammary explants are challenged in vitro with agents that activate protein kinase A (PKA). Inhibition of PKA slows casein secretion. The PKA-sensitive step(s) in casein secretion is early in the exocytosis pathway but inhibition of PKA does not impair casein maturation. Ultrastructural, immunochemical and biochemical methods locate PKA on membranes of vesicles situated in the Golgi region. Exposure of tissue to a cell-permeant PKA inhibitor results in morphological modification of these vesicular structures. We conclude that PKA mediates tonic positive regulation of the basal secretory pathway for lactoproteins in the mammary epithelial cell.

Abstract
We tested the effect of H-89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, on the intracellular transit of the regulated secretory proteins in rat lacrimal glands. We show that H-89, by itself, induces the secretion of newly synthesized proteins trafficking in its presence but not of proteins already stored in the mature secretory granules. This secretion does not depend on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. The proteins released are identical to those secreted after cholinergic stimulation or under the action of the ionophore A-23187, but the secretion level is approximately 40% lower. The effect of H-89 seems to be due to PKA inhibition because other protein kinase inhibitors (calphostin C, chelerythrine, H-85) do not induce secretion. We further show that H-89 does not modify the rate of glycoprotein galactosylation but induces the secretion of newly galactosylated glycoproteins. Finally, we used a "20 degrees C block" procedure to show that H-89 affects a trans-Golgi network (TGN) or post-TGN step of the secretory pathway. Our results demonstrate that, in lacrimal cells, H-89 affects the intracellular trafficking of secretory proteins, suggesting a role for PKA in this process.

Abstract
We have examined the role played by protein kinase A (PKA) in vesicle-mediated protein transport from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface. In vivo this transport step was inhibited by inhibitors of PKA catalytic subunits (C-PKA) such as the compound known as H89 and a myristoylated form of the inhibitory peptide sequence contained in the thermostable PKA inhibitor. Inhibition by H89 occurred at an early stage during the transfer of vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein from the TGN to the cell surface. Reversal from this inhibition correlated with a transient increase in the number of free coated vesicles in the Golgi area. Vesicle budding from the TGN was studied in vitro using vesicular stomatitis virus-infected, permeabilized cells. Addition to this assay of C-PKA stimulated vesicle release while it was suppressed by PKA inhibitory peptide, H89, and antibody against C-PKA. Furthermore, vesicle release was decreased when PKA-depleted cytosol was used and restored by addition of C-PKA. These results indicate a regulatory role for PKA activity in the production of constitutive transport vesicles from the TGN.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cyclic AMP-activated chloride channel that is encoded by the gene that is defective in cystic fibrosis. This ion channel resides at the luminal surfaces and in endosomes of epithelial cells that line the airways, intestine, and a variety of exocrine glands. In this article we discuss current hypotheses regarding how CFTR functions as a regulated ion channel and how CF mutations lead to disease. We also evaluate the emerging notion that CFTR is a multifunctional protein that is capable of regulating epithelial physiology at several levels, including the modulation of other ion channels and the regulation of intracellular membrane traffic. Elucidating the various functions of CFTR should contribute to our understanding of the pathology in cystic fibrosis, the most common lethal genetic disorder among Caucasians.

Abstract
The influence of protein kinase A activity on transport of newly synthesized vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein along the exocytic pathway was examined. Transport of vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein to the cell surface was inhibited by N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-89), a selective inhibitor of protein kinase A. This block occurred at the exit of the Golgi complex, whereas transport through the Golgi compartments or from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi was decreased in the presence of H-89. As judged by immunofluorescence endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport was accelerated in cells incubated with activators of protein kinase A such as isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) or forskolin (FK). Treatment with IBMX and FK also increased transport from the trans-Golgi network to the cell surface. During incubation with IBMX and FK, the organization of the Golgi complex was altered showing intercisternae fusion and miscompartmentalization of resident proteins. These structural changes affected both the kinetics of acquisition of endoglycosidase H resistance and transport activities. These data support a differential regulatory role for protein kinase A in different transport steps along the exocytic pathway. In particular, transport from the trans-Golgi network to the cell surface was dependent on protein kinase A activity. In addition, the results suggest the involvement of this enzyme on the maintenance of the Golgi complex organization.
