Abstract
The CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) activity and localization are influenced by the cytoskeleton, in particular by actin and its polymerization state. In this study we investigated whether the expression of the hypertensive mutations of α-adducin (G460W-S586C in humans, F316Y in rats), an actin capping protein, led to a functional modification of CFTR activity and surface expression. The experiments were performed on HEK293 T cells cotransfected with CFTR and the human wild type (WT) or G460W mutated α-adducin. In whole-cell patch-clamp experiments, both the CFTR chloride current and the slope of current activation after forskolin addition were significantly higher in HEK cells overexpressing the G460W adducin. A higher plasma membrane density of active CFTR channels was confirmed by cell-attached patch-clamp experiments, both in HEK cells and in cultured primary DCT cells, isolated from MHS (Milan Hypertensive Strain, a Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus) hypertensive model carrying the F316Y adducin mutation), compared to MNS (Milan Normotensive Strain) rats. Western blot experiments demonstrated an increase of the plasma membrane CFTR protein expression, with a modification of the channel glycosylation state, in the presence of the mutated adducin. A higher retention of CFTR protein in the plasma membrane was confirmed both by FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) and photoactivation experiments. The present data indicate that in HEK cells and in isolated DCT cells the presence of the G460W-S586C hypertensive variant of adducin increases CFTR channel activity, possibly by altering its membrane turnover and inducing a retention of the channel in the plasmamembrane. Since CFTR is known to modulate the activity of many others transport systems, the increased surface expression of the channel could have consequences on the whole network of transport in kidney cells.

Abstract
The fucose binding lectin LecB affects biofilm formation and is involved in pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. LecB resides in the outer membrane and can be released specifically by treatment of an outer membrane fraction with fucose suggesting that it binds to specific ligands. Here, we report that LecB binds to the outer membrane protein OprF. In an OprF-deficient P. aeruginosa mutant, LecB is no longer detectable in the membrane but instead in the culture supernatant indicating a specific interaction between LecB and OprF.

Abstract
Burkholderia ambifaria is generally associated with the rhizosphere of plants where it has biocontrol effects on other microorganisms. It is also a member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of closely related bacteria that cause lung infections in immunocompromised patients as well as in patients with granulomatous disease or cystic fibrosis. Our previous work indicated that fucose on human epithelia is a frequent target for lectins and adhesins of lung pathogens (Sulák, O., Cioci, G., Lameignère, E., Balloy, V., Round, A., Gutsche, I., Malinovská, L., Chignard, M., Kosma, P., Aubert, D. F., Marolda, C. L., Valvano, M. A., Wimmerová, M., and Imberty, A. (2011) PLoS Pathog. 7, e1002238). Analysis of the B. ambifaria genome identified BambL as a putative fucose-binding lectin. The 87-amino acid protein was produced recombinantly and demonstrated to bind to fucosylated oligosaccharides with a preference for αFuc1-2Gal epitopes. Crystal structures revealed that it associates as a trimer with two fucose-binding sites per monomer. The overall fold is a six-bladed β-propeller formed by oligomerization as in the Ralstonia solanacearum lectin and not by sequential domains like the fungal fucose lectin from Aleuria aurantia. The affinity of BambL for small fucosylated glycans is very high as demonstrated by microcalorimetry (K(D) < 1 μM). Plant cell wall oligosaccharides and human histo-blood group oligosaccharides H-type 2 and Lewis Y are bound with equivalent efficiency. Binding to artificial glycosphingolipid-containing vesicles, human saliva, and lung tissues confirmed that BambL could recognize a wide spectrum of fucosylated epitopes, albeit with a lower affinity for biological material from nonsecretor individuals.

Abstract
The fucose-/mannose-specific lectin LecB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is transported to the outer membrane; however, the mechanism used is not known so far. Here, we report that LecB is present in the periplasm of P. aeruginosa in two variants of different sizes. Both were functional and could be purified by their affinity to mannose. The difference in size was shown by a specific enzyme assay to be a result of N glycosylation, and inactivation of the glycosylation sites was shown by site-directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this glycosylation is required for the transport of LecB.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) represents the most common lethal autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. It is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, resulting in abnormal Na(+) and Cl(-) transport in several tissues. Its main clinical manifestations include bronchopulmonary infections along with gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders. Intense and recurrent inflammation ultimately leads to an overabundance of activated neutrophils and macrophages that contribute to free radical generation. Furthermore, CFTR defects directly affect glutathione transport and homeostasis, while intestinal fat malabsorption limits uptake of endogenous antioxidant vitamins. Collectively, these abnormal events disturb the balance between pro- and anti-oxidants and promote oxidative stress, which may play a significant role in CF-related diabetes (CFRD), a severe complication associated with a drastic increase of morbidity and mortality. This review will focus on the involvement of oxidative stress in CF pathology, especially its role in the occurrence of CFRD. The multiple abnormalities in the oxidant/antioxidant balance could be a potential target for a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is the most common, inherited fatal disease in Caucasians. The major cause of morbidity and mortality is chronic lung disease due to infection and inflammation in the airways leading to bronchiectasis and respiratory failure. The signature pathologic features of CF lung disease including abnormal mucus obstructing airways, chronic infection with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram negative bacteria, and a robust neutrophil-dominant airway inflammation, are exacerbated by unopposed proteases present at high concentrations in the ASL. There is strong evidence that proteases, particularly neutrophil elastase, contribute to the pathology of CF by impairing mucociliary clearance, interfering with innate immune functions, and perpetuating neutrophilic inflammation. The mechanisms employed by proteases to impact airway function in CF will be reviewed.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen which causes a variety of diseases, including respiratory tract infections in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. Therapeutic treatment of P. aeruginosa infections is still very difficult because the bacteria exhibit high intrinsic resistance against a variety of different antibiotics and, in addition, form stable biofilms, e.g. in the human lung. Several virulence factors are produced by P. aeruginosa, among them the two lectins LecA and LecB, which exert different cytotoxic effects on respiratory epithelial cells and presumably facilitate bacterial adhesion to the airway mucosa. Here, the physiology has been studied of the lectin LecB, which binds specifically to L-fucose. A LecB-deficient P. aeruginosa mutant was shown to be impaired in biofilm formation when compared with the wild-type strain, suggesting an important role for LecB in this process. This result prompted an investigation of the subcellular localization of LecB by cell fractionation and subsequent immunoblotting. The results show that LecB is abundantly present in the bacterial outer-membrane fraction. It is further demonstrated that LecB could be released specifically by treatment of the outer-membrane fraction with p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-fucose, whereas treatment with D-galactose had no effect. In contrast, a LecB protein carrying the mutation D104A, which results in a defective sugar-binding site, was no longer detectable in the membrane fraction, suggesting that LecB binds to specific carbohydrate ligands located at the bacterial cell surface. Staining of biofilm cells using fluorescently labelled LecB confirmed the presence of these ligands.

Abstract
Derangement in pulmonary surfactant or its components and alveolar collapse are common findings in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Surfactant proteins play important roles in innate host defense and normal function of the lung. We examined associations between IPF and genetic polymorphic variants of surfactant proteins, SP-A1, SP-A2, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D. One SP-A1 (6A(4)) allele and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that characterize the 6A(4) allele, and one SP-B (B1580_C) were found with higher frequency ( P</=0.01) in nonsmoker and smoker IPF ( n=84) subgroups, respectively, compared with healthy controls ( n=194). To explore whether a tryptophan (present in 6A(4)) or an arginine (present in other SP-A1 alleles and in all SP-A2 alleles) at amino acid 219 alters protein behavior, two truncated proteins that varied only at amino acid 219 were oxidized by exposure to ozone. Differences in the absorption spectra (310-350 nm) between the two truncated recombinant SP-A proteins were observed both before and after protein oxidation, suggesting allele-specific aggregation differences attributable to amino acid 219. The SP-B SNP B1580_C (odds ratio:7.63; confidence interval:1.64-35.4; P</=0.01), to be a risk factor for IPF smokers, has also been shown to be a risk factor for other pulmonary diseases. The SP-C and SP-D SNPs and SP-B-linked microsatellite markers studied did not associate with IPF. These findings indicate that surfactant protein variants may serve as markers to identify subgroups of patients at risk, and we speculate that these contribute to IPF pathogenesis.

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
Altered terminal glycosylation, with increased fucosylation and decreased sialylation is a hallmark of the cystic fibrosis (CF) glycosylation phenotype. Oligosaccharides purified from the surface membrane glycoconjugates of CF airway epithelial cells have the Lewis x, selectin ligand in terminal positions. This review is focused on the investigations of the glycoconjugates of the CF airway epithelial cell surface. Two of the major bacterial pathogens in CF, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophilus influenzae, have binding proteins which recognize fucose in alpha-1,3 linkage and asialoglycoconjugates. Therefore, consideration has been given to the possibility that the altered terminal glycosylation of airway epithelial glycoproteins in CF contributes to both the chronic infection and the robust, but ineffective, inflammatory response in the CF lung. Since the glycosylation phenotype of CF airway epithelial cells have been modulated by the expression of wtCFTR, the hypotheses which have been proposed to relate altered function of CFTR to the regulation of the glycosyltransferases are discussed. Understanding the effects of mutant CFTR on glycosylation may provide further insight into the regulation of glycoconjugate processing as well as new approaches to the therapy of CF.
