Localization and function of humanized F508del-CFTR in mouse intestine following activation of serum glucocorticoid kinase 1 and Trikafta. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 978:176771. [PMID: 38925289 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The CFTR modulator Trikafta has markedly improved lung disease for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients carrying the common delta F508 (F508del-CFTR) CFTR mutation. F508del-CFTR results in an apical trafficking defect and loss of function in CFTR-expressing epithelial cells. However, Trikafta has not resulted in improved gastrointestinal function in CF patients. A humanized mouse model of F508del-CFTR was recently generated to evaluate CFTR modulators and other compounds to treat human F508del-CFTR CF intestinal disease. Short-term (4 h) treatment of rats with Dexamethasone (Dex) potently activates serum glucocorticoid kinase 1 (SGK1) and increases CFTR apical traffic and ion transport in the native intestine. This study examined CFTR localization and ion transport in intestinal segments from humanized F508del-CFTR mice following treatment with Dex in the presence/absence of Trikafta. Dex treatment improved apical CFTR localization and function but was inconsistent along intestinal segments. Combined treatment with Dex and Trikafta was superior to Dex alone but inconsistently improved CFTR localization and function. These data suggest further optimization of humanized CF mouse models will be necessary to test the efficacy of compounds to treat human CF intestinal disease.

Abstract
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), the Cl-/HCO3 - channel implicated in Cystic Fibrosis, is critical to the pathophysiology of many gastrointestinal diseases. Defects in CFTR lead to intestinal dysfunction, malabsorption, obstruction, infection, inflammation, and cancer that increases morbidity and reduces quality of life. This review will focus on CFTR in the intestine and the implications of the subpopulation of CFTR High Expresser Cells (CHEs) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF), intestinal physiology and pathophysiology of intestinal diseases.

Clin Transl Med 2023; 13:e1130.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome (BrS) is causing sudden cardiac death (SCD) mainly at young age. Studying the underlying mechanisms associated with BrS type I electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in the presence of fever and roles of autophagy for BrS remains lacking. OBJECTIVES We sought to study the pathogenic role of an SCN5A gene variant for BrS with fever-induced type 1 ECG phenotype. In addition, we studied the role of inflammation and autophagy in the pathomechanism of BrS. METHODS Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from a BrS patient harboring a pathogenic variant (c.3148G>A/p. Ala1050Thr) in SCN5A and two healthy donors (non-BrS) and a CRISPR/Cas9 site-corrected cell line (BrS-corr) were differentiated into cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) for the study. RESULTS Reductions of Nav 1.5 expression, peak sodium channel current (INa ) and upstroke velocity (Vmax ) of action potentials with an increase in arrhythmic events were detected in BrS compared to non-BrS and BrS-corr cells. Increasing the cell culture temperature from 37 to 40°C (fever-like state) exacerbated the phenotypic changes in BrS cells. The fever-effects were enhanced by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor but reversed by PKA activator. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) but not increased temperature up to 40°C enhanced the autophagy level in BrS-hiPSC-CMs by increasing reactive oxidative species and inhibiting PI3K/AKT signalling, and hence exacerbated the phenotypic changes. LPS enhanced high temperature-related effect on peak INa shown in BrS hiPSC-CMs. Effects of LPS and high temperature were not detected in non-BrS cells. CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrated that the SCN5A variant (c.3148G>A/p.Ala1050Thr) caused loss-of-function of sodium channels and increased the channel sensitivity to high temperature and LPS challenge in hiPSC-CMs from a BrS cell line with this variant but not in two non-BrS hiPSC-CM lines. The results suggest that LPS may exacerbate BrS phenotype via enhancing autophagy, whereas fever may exacerbate BrS phenotype via inhibiting PKA-signalling in BrS cardiomyocytes with but probably not limited to this variant.

Abstract
Microvillus inclusion disease (MVID), a lethal congenital diarrheal disease, results from loss of function mutations in the apical actin motor myosin VB (MYO5B). How loss of MYO5B leads to both malabsorption and fluid secretion is not well understood. Serum glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) regulates intestinal carbohydrate and ion transporters including cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). We hypothesized that loss of SGK1 could reduce CFTR fluid secretion and MVID diarrhea. Using CRISPR-Cas9 approaches, we generated R26CreER;MYO5Bf/f conditional single knockout (cMYO5BKO) and R26CreER;MYO5Bf/f;SGK1f/f double knockout (cSGK1/MYO5B-DKO) mice. Tamoxifen-treated cMYO5BKO mice resulted in characteristic features of human MVID including severe diarrhea, microvillus inclusions (MIs) in enterocytes, defective apical traffic, and depolarization of transporters. However, apical CFTR distribution was preserved in crypts and depolarized in villus enterocytes, and CFTR high expresser (CHE) cells were observed. cMYO5BKO mice displayed increased phosphorylation of SGK1, PDK1, and the PDK1 target PKCι in the intestine. Surprisingly, tamoxifen-treated cSGK1/MYO5B-DKO mice displayed more severe diarrhea than cMYO5BKO, with preservation of apical CFTR and CHE cells, greater fecal glucose and reduced SGLT1 and GLUT2 in the intestine. We conclude that loss of SGK1 worsens carbohydrate malabsorption and diarrhea in MVID.

Abstract
Remarkable progress in CFTR research has led to the therapeutic development of modulators that rescue the basic defect in cystic fibrosis. There is continuous interest in studying CFTR molecular disease mechanisms as not all cystic fibrosis patients have a therapeutic option available. Addressing the basis of the problem by comprehensively understanding the critical molecular associations of CFTR interactions remains key. With the availability of CFTR modulators, there is interest in comprehending which interactions are critical to rescue CFTR and which are altered by modulators or CFTR mutations. Here, the current knowledge on interactions that govern CFTR folding, processing, and stability is summarized. Furthermore, we describe protein complexes and signal pathways that modulate the CFTR function. Primary epithelial cells display a spatial control of the CFTR interactions and have become a common system for preclinical and personalized medicine studies. Strikingly, the novel roles of CFTR in development and differentiation have been recently uncovered and it has been revealed that specific CFTR gene interactions also play an important role in transcriptional regulation. For a comprehensive understanding of the molecular environment of CFTR, it is important to consider CFTR mutation-dependent interactions as well as factors affecting the CFTR interactome on the cell type, tissue-specific, and transcriptional levels.

CFTR-mediated anion secretion in parathyroid hormone-treated Caco-2 cells is associated with PKA and PI3K phosphorylation but not intracellular pH changes or Na +/K +-ATPase abundance. Biochem Biophys Rep 2021; 27:101054. [PMID: 34189282 PMCID: PMC8220001 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2021.101054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has previously been shown to enhance the transepithelial secretion of Cl− and HCO3− across the intestinal epithelia including Caco-2 monolayer, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are not completely understood. Herein, we identified the major signaling pathways that possibly mediated the PTH action to its known target anion channel, i.e., cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator anion channel (CFTR). Specifically, PTH was able to induce phosphorylation of protein kinase A and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Since the apical HCO3− efflux through CFTR often required the intracellular H+/HCO3− production and/or the Na+-dependent basolateral HCO3− uptake, the intracellular pH (pHi) balance might be disturbed, especially as a consequence of increased endogenous H+ and HCO3− production. However, measurement of pHi by a pH-sensitive dye suggested that the PTH-exposed Caco-2 cells were able to maintain normal pH despite robust HCO3− transport. In addition, although the plasma membrane Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) is normally essential for basolateral HCO3− uptake and other transporters (e.g., NHE1), PTH did not induce insertion of new NKA molecules into the basolateral membrane as determined by membrane protein biotinylation technique. Thus, together with our previous data, we concluded that the PTH action on Caco-2 cells is dependent on PKA and PI3K with no detectable change in pHi or NKA abundance on cell membrane. Intestinal epithelial-like Caco-2 cells expressed CFTR and PTH1R. PTH increased anion transport across Caco-2 monolayer as suggested by Vt change. PTH induced phosphorylation of PKA and PI3K in Caco-2 cells. Intracellular pH was unaltered despite the presence of PTH-induced HCO3− efflux. PTH did not change Na+/K+-ATPase abundance in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Although Ca2+ signaling may stimulate small intestinal ion secretion, little is known about its critical role and the molecular mechanisms of Ca2+-mediated biological action. Key Results Activation of muscarinic receptors by carbachol(CCh) stimulated mouse duodenal Isc, which was significantly inhibited in Ca2+-free serosal solution and by several selective store-operated Ca2+ channels(SOC) blockers added to the serosal side of duodenal tissues. Furthermore, we found that CRAC/Orai channels may represent the molecular candidate of SOC in intestinal epithelium. CCh increased intracellular Ca2+ but not cAMP, and Ca2+ signaling mediated duodenal Cl- and HCO3- secretion in wild type mice but not in CFTR knockout mice. CCh induced duodenal ion secretion and stimulated PI3K/Akt activity in duodenal epithelium, all of which were inhibited by selective PI3K inhibitors with different structures. CCh-induced Ca2+ signaling also stimulated the phosphorylation of CFTR proteins and their trafficking to the plasma membrane of duodenal epithelial cells, which were inhibited again by selective PI3K inhibitors. Materials and Methods Functional, biochemical and morphological experiments were performed to examine ion secretion, PI3K/Akt and CFTR activity of mouse duodenal epithelium. Ca2+ imaging was performed on HT-29 cells. Conclusions and Implications Ca2+ signaling plays a critical role in intestinal ion secretion via CRAC/Orai-mediated SOCE mechanism on the serosal side of epithelium. We also demonstrated the molecular mechanisms of Ca2+ signaling in CFTR-mediated secretion via novel PI3K/Akt pathway. Our findings suggest new perspectives for drug targets to protect the upper GI tract and control liquid homeostasis in the small intestine.

Abstract
Microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) is a congenital enteropathy characterized by accumulation of vesiculo-tubular endomembranes in the subapical cytoplasm of enterocytes, historically termed "secretory granules." However, neither their identity nor pathophysiological significance is well defined. Using immunoelectron microscopy and tomography, we studied biopsies from MVID patients (3× Myosin 5b mutations and 1× Syntaxin3 mutation) and compared them to controls and genome-edited CaCo2 cell models, harboring relevant mutations. Duodenal biopsies from 2 patients with novel Myosin 5b mutations and typical clinical symptoms showed unusual ultrastructural phenotypes: aberrant subapical vesicles and tubules were prominent in the enterocytes, though other histological hallmarks of MVID were almost absent (ectopic intra-/intercellular microvilli, brush border atrophy). We identified these enigmatic vesiculo-tubular organelles as Rab11-Rab8-positive recycling compartments of altered size, shape and location harboring the apical SNARE Syntaxin3, apical transporters sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Our data strongly indicate that in MVID disrupted trafficking between cargo vesicles and the apical plasma membrane is the primary cause of a defect of epithelial polarity and subsequent facultative loss of brush border integrity, leading to malabsorption. Furthermore, they support the notion that mislocalization of transporters, such as NHE3 substantially contributes to the reported sodium loss diarrhea.

Abstract
CF is caused by mutations of the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) which is an anion selective transmembrane ion channel that mainly regulates chloride transport, expressed in the epithelia of various organs. Recently, we have demonstrated CFTR expression in the brain, the spinal cord and the sympathetic ganglia. This study aims to investigate the expression and distribution of CFTR in the ganglia of the human gastrointestinal tract. Fresh tissue and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal gastrointestinal tract samples were collected from eleven surgical patients and five autopsy cases. Immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, laser-assisted microdissection and nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction were performed. Expression of CFTR protein and mRNA was detected in neurons of the ganglia of all segments of the human gastrointestinal tract examined, including the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, colon and rectum. The extensive expression of CFTR in the enteric ganglia suggests that CFTR may play a role in the physiology of the innervation of the gastro-intestinal tract. The presence of dysfunctional CFTRs in enteric ganglia could, to a certain extent, explain the gastrointestinal symptoms frequently experienced by CF patients.

Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a neuropeptide, controls multiple functions in exocrine tissues, including inflammation, and relaxation of airway and vascular smooth muscles, and regulates CFTR-dependent secretion, which contributes to mucus hydration and local innate defense of the lung. We had previously reported that VIP stimulates the VPAC1 receptor, PKCϵ signaling cascade, and increases CFTR stability and function at the apical membrane of airway epithelial cells by reducing its internalization rate. Moreover, prolonged VIP stimulation corrects the molecular defects associated with F508del, the most common CFTR mutation responsible for the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. In the present study, we have examined the impact of the absence of VIP on CFTR maturation, cellular localization, and function in vivo using VIP knockout mice. We have conducted pathological assessments and detected signs of lung and intestinal disease. Immunodetection methods have shown that the absence of VIP results in CFTR intracellular retention despite normal expression and maturation levels. A subsequent loss of CFTR-dependent chloride current was measured in functional assays with Ussing chamber analysis of the small intestine ex vivo, creating a cystic fibrosis-like condition. Interestingly, intraperitoneal administration of VIP corrected tissue abnormalities, close to the wild-type phenotype, as well as associated defects in the vital CFTR protein. The results show in vivo a primary role for VIP chronic exposure in CFTR membrane stability and function and confirm in vitro data.

Abstract
The CFTR High Expresser (CHE) cells express eightfold higher levels of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel compared with neighboring enterocytes and were first identified by our laboratory (Ameen et al., Gastroenterology 108: 1016, 1995). We used double-label immunofluorescence microscopy to further study these enigmatic epithelial cells in rat intestine in vivo or ex vivo. CHE cells were found in duodenum, most frequent in proximal jejunum, and absent in ileum and colon. CFTR abundance increased in CHE cells along the crypt-villus axis. The basolateral Na(+)K(+)Cl(-) cotransporter NKCC1, a key transporter involved in Cl(-) secretion, was detected at similar levels in CHE cells and neighboring enterocytes at steady state. Microvilli appeared shorter in CHE cells, with low levels of Myosin 1a, a villus enterocyte-specific motor that retains sucrase/isomaltase in the brush-border membrane (BBM). CHE cells lacked alkaline phosphatase and absorptive villus enterocyte BBM proteins, including Na(+)H(+) exchanger NHE3, Cl(-)/HCO3(-) exchanger SLC26A6 (putative anion exchanger 1), and sucrase/isomaltase. High levels of the vacuolar-ATPase proton pump were observed in the apical domain of CHE cells. Levels of the NHE regulatory factor NHERF1, Na-K-ATPase, and Syntaxin 3 were similar to that of neighboring enterocytes. cAMP or acetylcholine stimulation robustly increased apical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1 disproportionately in CHE cells relative to neighboring enterocytes. These data strongly argue for a specialized role of CHE cells in Cl(-)-mediated "high-volume" fluid secretion on the villi of the proximal small intestine.

Abstract
The Brunner's glands of the proximal duodenum exert barrier functions through secretion of glycoproteins and antimicrobial peptides. However, ion transporter localization, function, and regulation in the glands are less clear. Mapping the subcellular distribution of transporters is an important step toward elucidating trafficking mechanisms of fluid transport in the gland. The present study examined 1) changes in the distribution of intestinal anion transporters and the aquaporin 5 (AQP5) water channel in rat Brunner's glands following second messenger activation and 2) anion transporter distribution in Brunner's glands from healthy and disease-affected human tissues. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), AQP5, sodium-potassium-coupled chloride cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), and the proton pump vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) were localized to distinct membrane domains and in endosomes at steady state. Carbachol and cAMP redistributed CFTR to the apical membrane. cAMP-dependent recruitment of CFTR to the apical membrane was accompanied by recruitment of AQP5 that was reversed by a PKA inhibitor. cAMP also induced apical trafficking of V-ATPase and redistribution of NKCC1 and NBCe1 to the basolateral membranes. The steady-state distribution of AQP5, CFTR, NBCe1, NKCC1, and V-ATPase in human Brunner's glands from healthy controls, cystic fibrosis, and celiac disease resembled that of rat; however, the distribution profiles were markedly attenuated in the disease-affected duodenum. These data support functional transport of chloride, bicarbonate, water, and protons by second messenger-regulated traffic in mammalian Brunner's glands under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Changes in intestinal luminal pH affect mucosal ion transport. The aim of this study was to compare how luminal pH and specific second messengers modulate the membrane traffic of four major ion transporters (CFTR, NHE3, NKCC1, and NBCe1) in rat small intestine. Ligated duodenal, jejunal, and ileal segments were infused with acidic or alkaline saline, 8-Br-cAMP, or the calcium agonist carbachol in vivo for 20 min. Compared with untreated intestine, lumen pH was reduced after cAMP or carbachol and increased following HCO(3)(-)-saline. Following HCl-saline, lumen pH was restored to control pH levels. All four secretory stimuli resulted in brush-border membrane (BBM) recruitment of CFTR in crypts and villi. In villus enterocytes, CFTR recruitment was coincident with internalization of BBM NHE3 and basolateral membrane recruitment of the bicarbonate transporter NBCe1. Both cAMP and carbachol recruited NKCC1 to the basolateral membrane of enterocytes, while luminal acid or HCO(3)(-) retained NKCC1 in intracellular vesicles. Luminal acid resulted in robust recruitment of CFTR and NBCe1 to their respective enterocyte membrane domains in the upper third of the villi; luminal HCO(3)(-) induced similar membrane changes lower in the villi. These findings indicate that each stimulus promotes a specific transporter trafficking response along the crypt-villus axis. This is the first demonstration that physiologically relevant secretory stimuli exert their actions in villus enterocytes by membrane recruitment of CFTR and NBCe1 in tandem with NHE3 internalization.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is central to anion secretion in both the possum and eutherian small intestine. Here, we investigated its role in the possum proximal colon, which has novel transport properties compared with the eutherian proximal colon. Despite considerable CFTR expression, high doses of the CFTR activator forskolin (EC(50)≈10 μmol l(-1)) were required for a modest, CFTR-dependent increase in short-circuit current (I(sc)) in the proximal colon. Presumably, this is because CFTR is restricted to the apical membrane of a small population of CFTR high expresser (CHE) cells in the surface and upper crypt epithelium. Furthermore, although the forskolin-stimulated I(sc) was dependent on serosal Na(+), Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-), consistent with anion secretion, inhibition of the basolateral Na-K-2Cl(-) (NKCC1) or Na-HCO(3) (pNBCe1) cotransporters did not prevent it. Therefore, although NKCC1 and pNBCe1 are expressed in the colonic epithelium they do not appear to be expressed in CHE cells. At low doses (IC(50)≈1 μmol l(-1)), forskolin also decreased the transepithelial conductance (G(T)) of the colon through inhibition of a 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbenedisulphonic acid-sensitive anion conductance in the basolateral membrane of the CHE cells. This conductance is arranged in series with CFTR in the CHE cells and, therefore, the CHE cells provide a transepithelial Cl(-) conductance for passive Cl(-) absorption across the epithelium. Inhibition of the basolateral Cl(-) conductance of the CHE cells by forskolin will inhibit Na(+) absorption by restricting the movement of its counter-ion Cl(-), assisting in the conversion of the tissue from an absorptive to a secretory state.

Abstract
Na(+) current derived from expression of the cardiac isoform SCN5A is reduced by receptor-mediated or direct activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Previous work has suggested a possible role for loss of Na(+) channels at the plasma membrane in this effect, but the results are controversial. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that PKC activation acutely modulates the intracellular distribution of SCN5A channels and that this effect can be visualized in living cells. In human embryonic kidney cells that stably expressed SCN5A with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the channel COOH-terminus (SCN5A-GFP), Na(+) currents were suppressed by an exposure to PKC activation. Using confocal microscopy, colocalization of SCN5A-GFP channels with the plasma membrane under control and stimulated conditions was quantified. A separate population of SCN5A channels containing an extracellular epitope was immunolabeled to permit temporally stable labeling of the plasma membrane. Our results demonstrated that Na(+) channels were preferentially trafficked away from the plasma membrane by PKC activation, with a major contribution by Ca(2+)-sensitive or conventional PKC isoforms, whereas stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) had the opposite effect. Removal of the conserved PKC site Ser(1503) or exposure to the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin eliminated the PKC-mediated effect to alter channel trafficking, indicating that both channel phosphorylation and ROS were required. Experiments using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching demonstrated that both PKC and PKA also modified channel mobility in a manner consistent with the dynamics of channel distribution. These results demonstrate that the activation of protein kinases can acutely regulate the intracellular distribution and molecular mobility of cardiac Na(+) channels in living cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The effect of daily injections with genistein (naturally occurring phytoestrogen) on intestinal chloride (Cl(-)) secretion was measured with Ussing chamber short circuit current (I(sc), μA/cm(2)), in C57BL/6J male and female mice, using 600 mg/kg genistein/day (600G), 300 mg/kg genistein/day (300G), 150 mg/kg genistein/day (150G) or genistein-free vehicle control (0G) for 1- or 2-weeks. METHODS AND RESULTS Injecting with 600G elicited significant increases in basal I(sc) in females after 1-week (ñ70 μA/cm(2), n=15, p < 0.05) and in males after 2-weeks (ñ80 μA/cm(2), n=5, p < 0.05) compared to their 0G counterparts. Chloride-free ringer significantly reduced basal I(sc) by 65% in 600G males and 72% in 600G females, suggesting that Cl(-) was the major anion comprising the genistein-stimulated secretion. The forskolin-stimulated (10 μM) I(sc) was significantly inhibited by the CFTR chloride channel inhibitors, glibenclamide (500 μM) and CFTR(inh)-172 (100 μM) in 600G males and females, suggesting some contribution by genistein-dependent CFTR-mediated Cl(-) secretion. We found no associated changes in intestinal morphology, nor change in total CFTR protein with 600G. There was a 5% increase in apical/subapical ratio in 600G males compared to controls (no change in females). CONCLUSION These data suggest that male and female mice both exhibit increased Cl- secretion with 600G, however, the mechanisms mediating this are gender-dependent.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an apical membrane chloride channel critical to the regulation of fluid, chloride, and bicarbonate transport in epithelia and other cell types. The most common cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) is the abnormal trafficking of CFTR mutants. Therefore, understanding the cellular machineries that transit CFTR from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface is important. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) plays an important role in CFTR-dependent chloride transport. The present study was designed to observe the affection of VIP on the trafficking of CFTR, and channel gating in human bronchial epithelium cells (HBEC). Confocal microscopy revealed CFTR immunofluorescence extending from the apical membrane deeply into the cell cytoplasm. After VIP treatment, apical extension of CFTR immunofluorescence into the cell was reduced and the peak intensity of CFTR fluorescence shifted towards the apical membrane. Western blot showed VIP increased cell surface and total CFTR. Compared with the augmented level of total CFTR, the surface CFTR increased more markedly. Immunoprecipitation founded that the mature form of CFTR had a marked increase in HBEC treated with VIP. VIP led to a threefold increase in Cl(-) efflux in HBEC. Glibenclamide-sensitive and DIDS-insensitive CFTR Cl(-) currents were consistently observed after stimulation with VIP (10(-8) mol/L). The augmentation of CFTR Cl(-) currents enhanced by VIP (10(-8) mol/L) was reversed, at least in part, by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H-89 and the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, H-7, suggesting PKA and PKC participate in the VIP-promoted CFTR Cl(-) currents.

Abstract
Besides being a Ca²-regulating hormone, parathyroid hormone (PTH) has also been shown to regulate epithelial transport of certain ions, such as Cl, HCO₃, and Na, particularly in the kidney. Although the intestinal epithelium also expressed PTH receptors, little was known regarding its mechanism in the regulation of intestinal ion transport. We investigated the ion regulatory role of PTH in intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer by Ussing chamber technique and alternating current impedance spectroscopy. It was found that Caco-2 cells rapidly responded to PTH within 1 min by increasing apical HCO₃- secretion. CFTR served as the principal route for PTH-stimulated apical HCOV efflux, which was abolished by various CFTR inhibitors, namely, NPPB, glycine hydrazide-101 (GlyH-101), and CFTRinh-172, as well as by small interfering RNA against CFTR. Concurrently, the plasma membrane resistance was decreased with no changes in the plasma membrane capacitance or paracellular permeability. HCOV was probably supplied by basolateral uptake via the electrogenic Na⁺-HCO₃⁻ cotransporter and by methazolamide-sensitive carbonic anhydrase, while the resulting intracellular H⁺ might be extruded by both apical and basolateral Na/H exchangers. Furthermore, the PTH-stimulated HCO₃-secretion was markedly reduced by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (PKI 14-22 amide) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (wortmannin and LY-294002), but not by intracellular Ca²⁺ chelator (BAPTA-AM) or protein kinase C inhibitor (GF-109203X). In conclusion, the present study provided evidence that PTH directly and rapidly stimulated apical HCO₃- secretion through CFTR in PKA- and PI3K-dependent manner, which was a novel noncalciotropic, ion regulatory action of PTH in the intestinal epithelium.

Abstract
We examined the cell-specific subcellular expression patterns for sodium- and potassium-coupled chloride (NaK2Cl) cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), Na(+) bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) to understand the functional plasticity and synchronization of ion transport functions along the crypt-villus axis and its relevance to intestinal disease. In the unstimulated intestine, all small intestinal villus enterocytes coexpressed apical CFTR and NHE3, basolateral NBCe1, and mostly intracellular NKCC1. All (crypt and villus) goblet cells strongly expressed basolateral NKCC1 (at approximately three-fold higher levels than villus enterocytes), but no CFTR, NBCe1, or NHE3. Lower crypt cells coexpressed apical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but no NHE3 or NBCe1 (except NBCe1-expressing proximal colonic crypts). CFTR, NBCe1, and NKCC1 colocalized with markers of early and recycling endosomes, implicating endocytic recycling in cell-specific anion transport. Brunner's glands of the proximal duodenum coexpressed high levels of apical/subapical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but very low levels of NBCe1, consistent with secretion of Cl(-)-enriched fluid into the crypt. The cholinergic agonist carbachol rapidly (within 10 min) reduced cell volume along the entire crypt/villus axis and promoted NHE3 internalization into early endosomes. In contrast, carbachol induced membrane recruitment of NKCC1 and CFTR in all crypt and villus enterocytes, NKCC1 in all goblet cells, and NBCe1 in all villus enterocytes. These observations support regulated vesicle traffic in Cl(-) secretion by goblet cells and Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) secretion by villus enterocytes during the transient phase of cholinergic stimulation. Overall, the carbachol-induced membrane trafficking profile of the four ion transporters supports functional plasticity of the small intestinal villus epithelium that enables it to conduct both absorptive and secretory functions.

Abstract
Enterotoxins elaborated by Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli cannot elicit fluid secretion in the absence of functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channels. After enterotoxin exposure, CFTR channels are rapidly recruited from endosomes and undergo exocytic insertion into the apical plasma membrane of enterocytes to increase the number of channels on the cell surface by at least fourfold. However, the molecular machinery that orchestrates exocytic insertion of CFTR into the plasma membrane is largely unknown. The present study used immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, surface biotinylation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown assays, and immunoprecipitation to identify components of the exocytic soluble N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) vesicle fusion machinery in cyclic nucleotide-activated exocytosis of CFTR in rat jejunum and polarized intestinal Caco-2(BB)e cells. Syntaxin 3, an intestine-specific SNARE, colocalized with CFTR on the apical domain of enterocytes in rat jejunum and polarized Caco-2(BB)e cells. Coimmunoprecipitation and GST binding studies confirmed that syntaxin 3 interacts with CFTR in vivo. Moreover, heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) activated exocytosis of both CFTR and syntaxin 3 to the surface of rat jejunum. Silencing of syntaxin 3 by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference abrogated cyclic nucleotide-stimulated exocytosis of CFTR in cells. These observations reveal a new and important role for syntaxin 3 in the pathophysiology of enterotoxin-elicited diarrhea.

Abstract
Emerging porcine models of cystic fibrosis (CF) are expected to mimic the human disease more closely than current mouse models do. However, little is known of the tissue and cellular expression patterns of the porcine CF transmembrane conductance regulator (pCFTR) and possible differences from human CFTR (hCFTR). Here, the expression pattern of pCFTR was systematically established on the mRNA and protein levels. Using specific anti-pCFTR antibodies, the majority of the protein was immunohistochemically detected on paraffin-embedded sections and on cryostate sections in the apical cytosol of intestinal crypt epithelial cells, nasal, tracheal, and bronchial epithelial cells, and other select, mostly glandular epithelial cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy with co-localization of the Golgi marker 58K localized the protein in the cytosol between the Golgi apparatus and the apical cell membrane with occasional punctate or diffuse staining of the apical membrane. The tissue and cellular distribution patterns were confirmed by RT-PCR from whole tissue lysates or select cells after laser capture microdissection. Thus, expression of pCFTR was found to largely resemble that of hCFTR except for the kidney, brain, and cutaneous glands, which lack expression in pigs. Species-specific differences between pCFTR and hCFTR may become relevant for future interpretations of the CF phenotype in pig models.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an important protein that acts as a chloride channel and regulates many physiological functions, including salt transport and fluid flow. Mutations in the gene encoding the CFTR protein cause cystic fibrosis. CFTR is expressed in the epithelial cells of the lungs, pancreas, intestines, and other organs. In the peripheral and central nervous system, CFTR expression has been detected in the neurons of rat brains, ganglion cells of rat hearts, human hypothalamus, human spinal cord, and human spinal and sympathetic ganglia. However, CFTR has not been identified in other parts of the nervous system. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and laser-assisted microdissection (LMD) followed by reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR to identify CFTR proteins and messenger RNA in human and rat paracervical ganglion cells. CFTR and its gene expression were both detected in paracervical ganglion cells, a finding that might link this important protein to the neuronal regulation of female urogenital function. These findings could provide new insights into the symptoms related to the reproductive system frequently observed in female cystic fibrosis patients.

Abstract
Exocytosis is evoked by intracellular signals, including Ca2+ and protein kinases. We determined how such signals interact to promote exocytosis in exocrine pancreatic duct epithelial cells (PDECs). Exocytosis, detected using carbon-fiber microamperometry, was stimulated by [Ca2+]i increases induced either through Ca2+ influx using ionomycin or by activation of P2Y2 or protease-activated receptor 2 receptors. In each case, the exocytosis was strongly potentiated when cyclic AMP (cAMP) was elevated either by activating adenylyl cyclase with forskolin or by activating the endogenous vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor. This potentiation was completely inhibited by H-89 and partially blocked by Rp-8-Br-cAMPS, inhibitors of protein kinase A. Optical monitoring of fluorescently labeled secretory granules showed slow migration toward the plasma membrane during Ca2+ elevations. Neither this Ca2+-dependent granule movement nor the number of granules found near the plasma membrane were detectably changed by raising cAMP, suggesting that cAMP potentiates Ca2+-dependent exocytosis at a later stage. A kinetic model was made of the exocytosis stimulated by UTP, trypsin, and Ca2+ ionophores with and without cAMP increase. In the model, without a cAMP rise, receptor activation stimulates exocytosis both by Ca2+ elevation and by the action of another messenger(s). With cAMP elevation the docking/priming step for secretory granules was accelerated, augmenting the releasable granule pool size, and the Ca2+ sensitivity of the final fusion step was increased, augmenting the rate of exocytosis. Presumably both cAMP actions require cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of target proteins. cAMP-dependent potentiation of Ca2+-induced exocytosis has physiological implications for mucin secretion and, possibly, for membrane protein insertion in the pancreatic duct. In addition, mechanisms underlying this potentiation of slow exocytosis may also exist in other cell systems.

Abstract
Although phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is essential for several cellular signal transductions, its role in the regulation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activity in intestinal epithelial cells is poorly understood. Therefore, the possible involvement of PI3K in the regulation of cAMP- and cGMP-induced duodenal epithelial CFTR activation was investigated in the present study. Forskolin and 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) markedly stimulated duodenal mucosal HCO(3)(-) secretion and short-circuit current (I(sc)) in CFTR wild-type mice, which was significantly inhibited by CFTR(inh)-172, a highly potent and specific CFTR inhibitor. Forskolin and 8-Br-cGMP failed to stimulate duodenal HCO(3)(-) secretion and I(sc) in CFTR knockout mice. Moreover, forskolin- and 8-Br-cGMP-stimulated duodenal HCO(3)(-) secretion and I(sc) were significantly reduced by wortmannin and LY294002, two selective PI3K inhibitors that are structurally and mechanistically different. Forskolin and 8-Br-cGMP induced CFTR phosphorylation and shifted CFTR proteins to the plasma membrane of duodenal epithelial cells, which were inhibited by wortmannin and LY294002. Forskolin and 8-Br-cGMP not only increased the activity of PI3K but also induced the phosphorylation of Akt, a signaling molecule downstream of PI3K, which were again inhibited by wortmannin and LY294002. Together, our results obtained from functional, biochemical, and morphological studies demonstrate that PI3K pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cAMP- and cGMP-induced duodenal epithelial CFTR channel activity and intracellular trafficking.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP/PKA-activated anion channel, undergoes efficient apical recycling in polarized epithelia. The regulatory mechanisms underlying CFTR recycling are understood poorly, yet this process is required for proper channel copy number at the apical membrane, and it is defective in the common CFTR mutant, DeltaF508. Herein, we investigated the function of Rab11 isoforms in regulating CFTR trafficking in T84 cells, a colonic epithelial line that expresses CFTR endogenously. Western blotting of immunoisolated Rab11a or Rab11b vesicles revealed localization of endogenous CFTR within both compartments. CFTR function assays performed on T84 cells expressing the Rab11a or Rab11b GDP-locked S25N mutants demonstrated that only the Rab11b mutant inhibited 80% of the cAMP-activated halide efflux and that only the constitutively active Rab11b-Q70L increased the rate constant for stimulated halide efflux. Similarly, RNAi knockdown of Rab11b, but not Rab11a, reduced by 50% the CFTR-mediated anion conductance response. In polarized T84 monolayers, adenoviral expression of Rab11b-S25N resulted in a 70% inhibition of forskolin-stimulated transepithelial anion secretion and a 50% decrease in apical membrane CFTR as assessed by cell surface biotinylation. Biotin protection assays revealed a robust inhibition of CFTR recycling in polarized T84 cells expressing Rab11b-S25N, demonstrating the selective requirement for the Rab11b isoform. This is the first report detailing apical CFTR recycling in a native expression system and to demonstrate that Rab11b regulates apical recycling in polarized epithelial cells.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) as an important chloride-selective channel is known to distribute on the apical membrane of chloride-secreting epithelial cells. However, CFTR is also reported to express in the neurons of human and rat brain. In this study we aim to investigate the expression of CFTR in ganglion cells of the hearts. We used immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, laser microdissection (LMD) and nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (nested RT-PCR) to detect CFTR in the ganglion cells of the Sprague-Dawley rat hearts and found widespread and abundant the expression of CFTR protein and its mRNA in the ganglion cells of the rat hearts. The presence of CFTR in ganglia does not only provide a possible explanation for cardiovascular symptoms of cystic fibrosis patients but also may lead to a better understanding of a possible role for CFTR in the neuronal regulation of the heart.

Abstract
In polarized epithelial cells such as those that line the inner ear, kidney and gut, myosin VI has been localized to the intermicrovillar domains where it is proposed to regulate clathrin-dependent endocytosis; however, a direct role for myosin VI in apical endocytosis has not been shown. We examined the apical membrane distribution and endocytosis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in myosin VI-deficient Snell's Waltzer Myo6((sv/sv)) mice. Confocal microscopy and cell-surface biotinylation confirmed that surface levels of CFTR in the intestine of Myo6((sv/sv)) mice were markedly higher, and CFTR internalization from the apical plasma membrane was reduced compared with heterozygous controls. Consistent with a defect in CFTR endocytosis and accumulation at the cell surface, exaggerated CFTR-mediated fluid secretion was observed in Myo6((sv/sv)) mice following treatment of isolated jejunum with the cyclic GMP-activated heat stable enterotoxin. These data establish that myosin VI modulates apical endocytosis and may be an important physiological modulator of CFTR function and CFTR-associated secretory diarrhea in the gut.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is critical to cAMP- and cGMP-activated intestinal anion secretion and the pathogenesis of secretory diarrhea. Enterotoxins released by Vibrio cholerae (cholera toxin) and Escherichia coli (heat stable enterotoxin, or STa) activate intracellular cAMP and cGMP and signal CFTR on the apical plasma membrane of small intestinal enterocytes to elicit chloride and fluid secretion. cAMP activates PKA, whereas cGMP signals a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGKII) to phosphorylate CFTR in the intestine. In the jejunum, cAMP also regulates CFTR and fluid secretion by insertion of CFTR from subapical vesicles to the surface of enterocytes. It is unknown whether cGMP signaling or phosphorylation regulates the insertion of CFTR associated vesicles from the cytoplasm to the surface of enterocytes. We used STa, cell-permeant cGMP, and cAMP agonists in conjunction with PKG and PKA inhibitors, respectively, in rat jejunum to examine whether 1) cGMP and cGK II regulate the translocation of CFTR to the apical membrane and its relevance to fluid secretion, and 2) PKA regulates cAMP-dependent translocation of CFTR because this intestinal segment is a primary target for toxigenic diarrhea. STa and cGMP induced a greater than fourfold increase in surface CFTR in enterocytes in association with fluid secretion that was inhibited by PKG inhibitors. cAMP agonists induced a translocation of CFTR to the cell surface of enterocytes that was prevented by PKA inhibitors. We conclude that cAMP and cGMP-dependent phosphorylation regulates fluid secretion and CFTR trafficking to the surface of enterocytes in rat jejunum.

Abstract
Secretion of bicarbonate into the adherent layer of mucus gel creates a pH gradient with a near-neutral pH at the epithelial surfaces in stomach and duodenum, providing the first line of mucosal protection against luminal acid. The continuous adherent mucus layer is also a barrier to luminal pepsin, thereby protecting the underlying mucosa from proteolytic digestion. In this article we review the present state of the gastroduodenal mucus bicarbonate barrier two decades after the first supporting experimental evidence appeared. The primary function of the adherent mucus gel layer is a structural one to create a stable, unstirred layer to support surface neutralization of acid and act as a protective physical barrier against luminal pepsin. Therefore, the emphasis on mucus in this review is on the form and role of the adherent mucus gel layer. The primary function of the mucosal bicarbonate secretion is to neutralize acid diffusing into the mucus gel layer and to be quantitatively sufficient to maintain a near-neutral pH at the mucus-mucosal surface interface. The emphasis on mucosal bicarbonate in this review is on the mechanisms and control of its secretion and the establishment of a surface pH gradient. Evidence suggests that under normal physiological conditions, the mucus bicarbonate barrier is sufficient for protection of the gastric mucosa against acid and pepsin and is even more so for the duodenum.

Abstract
Spatially separated apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains that have distinct functions and molecular compositions are a characteristic feature of epithelial cell polarity. The subapical compartment (SAC), also known as the common endosome (CE), where endocytic pathways from both surfaces merge, plays a crucial role in the maintenance and probably the biogenesis of these distinct membrane domains. Although differences in morphology are apparent, the same principal features of a SAC can be distinguished in different types of epithelial cells. As polarity develops, the compartment acquires several distinct machineries that, in conjunction with the cytoskeleton, are necessary for polarized trafficking. Disrupting trafficking via the SAC and hence bypassing its sorting machinery, as occurs upon actin depolymerization, leads to mis-sorting of apical and basolateral molecules, thereby compromising the development of polarity. The structural and functional integrity of the compartment in part depends on microtubules. Moreover, the acquisition of a particular set of Rab proteins, including Rab11 and Rab3, appears to be crucial in regulating molecular sorting and vesicular transport relevant both to recycling to either plasma membrane domain and to de novo assembly of the apical domain. Furthermore, subcompartmentalization of the SAC appears to be key to its various functions.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is a multifunctional cytokine with effects on many cell types. We recently showed that in addition to epithelial barrier enhancing properties, TGFbeta causes diminished cAMP-driven chloride secretion in colonic epithelia, in a manner that is p38 MAPK-dependent. In this study, we sought to further delineate the mechanism behind TGFbeta diminution of chloride secretion. Using colonic and kidney epithelial cell lines, we found that exposure to TGFbeta causes dramatic changes in the expression and localization of the apical membrane chloride channel, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In TGFbeta-treated colonic epithelia (T84 and HT-29), CFTR mRNA was significantly reduced 2-24 h post-cytokine exposure. At a time consistent with decreased colonic epithelial secretory responses (16 h), TGFbeta treatment caused diminished intracellular CFTR protein expression (confocal microscopy) and reduced channel expression in the apical membrane during stimulated chloride secretion (biotinylation assay). In comparison, polarized kidney epithelia (MDCK) treated with TGFbeta displayed similarly reduced secretory responses to cAMP stimulating agents; however, a perinuclear accumulation of CFTR was observed, contrasting the diffuse cytoplasmic CFTR expression of control cells. Our data indicate that TGFbeta has profound effects on the expression and subcellular localization of an important channel involved in cAMP-driven chloride secretion, and thus suggest TGFbeta represents a key regulator of fluid movement.

Abstract
The physiological role of the duodenal peptide secretin is as a potent stimulant of electrolyte and water movement in pancreatic and biliary epithelium, via activation of G protein-coupled secretin receptors (hSCTR). However, the distribution and potential function of hSCTR in human lung has not previously been addressed. Using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction profiling, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated that the hSCTR is abundantly expressed within the distal regions of human lung (tertiary bronchus and parenchyma), with negligible expression detected in more proximal regions (trachea, primary, and secondary bronchus). Expression was observed predominantly on the basolateral membrane of the bronchial epithelial layer, with some expression also observed in bronchial smooth muscle. In primary cultures of human tertiary bronchial epithelial cells, secretin was demonstrated to potently stimulate channel-mediated Cl- efflux in a concentration-dependent manner. Secretin was also shown to cause concentration-dependent relaxation of human tertiary bronchial smooth muscle. In summary, these data demonstrate that secretin receptors are present in human lung, and that activation of these receptors with human secretin potently stimulates concentration-dependent Cl- efflux from bronchial epithelial cells and bronchorelaxation.

Abstract
Diarrheal diseases are among the most devastating illnesses globally, but the introduction of oral rehydration therapy has reduced mortality due to diarrhea from >5 million children, under the age of 5, in 1978 to 1.3 million in 2002. Variations of this simple therapy of salts and sugars are prevalent in traditional remedies in cultures world-wide, but only in the past four decades have the scientific bases for these remedies begun to be elucidated. This review aims to provide a broad understanding of the cellular basis of oral rehydration therapy. The features integral to the success of oral rehydration therapy are active glucose transport in the small intestine, commensal bacteria, and short-chain fatty acid transport in the colon. The review examines these processes and their regulation and considers new approaches that might supplement oral rehydration therapy in controlling diarrheal diseases.

Abstract
1. In the human airway epithelium, VIP/PACAP receptors are distributed in nerve fibers and in epithelial cells but their role in transepithelial ion transport have not been reported. Here, we show that human bronchial epithelial Calu-3 cells expressed the VPAC(1) receptor subtype which shares similar high affinity for VIP and PACAP-27. 2. The stoichiometric binding parameters characterizing the (125)I-VIP and (125)I-PACAP-27 binding to these receptors were determined. 3. We found that VIP (EC(50) approximately 7.6 nM) and PACAP-27 (EC(50) approximately 10 nM) stimulated glibenclamide-sensitive and DIDS-insensitive iodide efflux in Calu-3 cells. 4. The protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H-89 and the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, chelerythrine chloride prevented activation by both peptides demonstrating that PKA and PKC are part of the signaling pathway. This profile corresponds to the pharmacological signature of CFTR. 5. In the cystic fibrosis airway epithelial IB3-1 cell lacking functional CFTR but expressing VPAC(1) receptors, neither VIP, PACAP-27 nor forskolin stimulated chloride transport. 6. Ussing chamber experiments demonstrated stimulation of CFTR-dependent short-circuit currents by VIP or PACAP-27 applied to the basolateral but not to the apical side of Calu-3 cells monolayers. 7. This study shows the stimulation in human bronchial epithelial cells of CFTR-dependent chloride secretion following activation by VIP and PACAP-27 of basolateral VPAC(1) receptors.

Abstract
We examined the effect of inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) on duodenal bicarbonate secretion (DBS) in rats to further understand DBS regulation. DBS was measured by using the pH-stat method and by using CO2-sensitive electrodes. 5-(N,N-dimethyl)-amiloride (50 microM; DMA), a concentration that selectively inhibits the NHE isoforms NHE1 and NHE2, but not NHE3, did not affect DBS. Nevertheless, 3 mM DMA, a higher concentration that inhibits NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3, significantly increased DBS. Moreover, S1611 and S3226, both specific inhibitors of NHE3 only, or perfusion with Na+-free solutions, dose dependently increased DBS, as measured by pH-stat and CO2-sensitive electrode, without affecting intracellular pH. Coperfusion with 0.1 microM indomethacin, 0.5 mM DIDS, or 1 mM methazolamide did not affect S3226-induced DBS. Nevertheless, coperfusion with 0.1 and 0.3 mM 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid, which inhibits the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductor regulator (CFTR), dose dependently inhibited S3226-induced DBS. In conclusion, only specific apical NHE3 inhibition increased DBS, whereas prostaglandin synthesis, Na+-HCO3- cotransporter activation, or intracellular HCO3- formation by carbonic anhydrase was not involved. Because NHE3 inhibition-increased DBS was inhibited by an anion channel inhibitor and because reciprocal CFTR regulation has been previously shown between NHE3 and apical membrane anion transporters, we speculate that NHE3 inhibition increased DBS by altering anion transporter function.

Abstract
Voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSC) are transmembrane proteins that are essential for the initiation and propagation of action potentials in neuronal excitability. Because neurons express a mixture of Na+ channel isoforms and protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, the nature of which channel is being regulated by which PKC isozyme is not known. We showed that DRG VGSC Nav1.7 (TTX-sensitive) and Nav1.8 (TTX-resistant), expressed in Xenopus oocytes were differentially regulated by protein kinase A (PKA) and PKC isozymes using the two-electrode voltage-clamp method. PKA activation resulted in a dose-dependent potentiation of Nav1.8 currents and an attenuation of Nav1.7 currents. PKA-induced increases (Nav1.8) and decreases (Nav1.7) in peak currents were not associated with shifts in voltage-dependent activation or inactivation. The PKA-mediated increase in Nav1.8 current amplitude was prevented by chloroquine, suggesting that cell trafficking may contribute to the changes in Nav1.8 current amplitudes. A dose-dependent decrease in Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 currents was observed with the PKC activators phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. PMA induced shifts in the steady-state activation of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 channels by 6.5 and 14 mV, respectively, in the depolarizing direction. The role of individual PKC isozymes in the regulation of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 was determined using PKC-isozyme-specific peptide activators and inhibitors. The decrease in the Nav1.8 peak current induced by PMA was prevented by a specific epsilonPKC isozyme peptide antagonist, whereas the PMA effect on Nav1.7 was prevented by epsilonPKC and betaIIPKC peptide inhibitors. The data showed that Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 were differentially modulated by PKA and PKC. This is the first report demonstrating a functional role for epsilonPKC and betaIIPKC in the regulation of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 Na+ channels. Identification of the particular PKC isozymes(s) that mediate the regulation of Na+ channels is essential for understanding the molecular mechanism involved in neuronal ion channel regulation in normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Microfilaments have been reported to be polarized in a number of cell types based both on function and isoform composition. There is evidence that microfilaments are involved in the movement of vesicles and the polarized delivery of proteins to specialized membrane domains. We have investigated the composition of actin microfilaments in gastrointestinal epithelial cells and their role in the delivery of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) into the apical membrane using cultured T84 cells as a model. We identified a specific population of microfilaments containing the tropomyosin (Tm) isoforms Tm5a and/or Tm5b, which are polarized in T84 cell monolayers. Polarization of this microfilament population occurs very rapidly in response to cell-cell and cell-substratum contact and is not inhibited by jasplakinolide, suggesting this involves the movement of intact filaments. Colocalization of Tm5a and/or Tm5b and CFTR was observed in long-term cultures. A reduction in Tm5a and Tm5b expression, induced using antisense oligonucleotides, resulted in an increase in both CFTR surface expression and chloride efflux in response to cAMP stimulation. We conclude that Tm isoforms Tm5a and/or Tm5b mark an apical population of microfilaments that can regulate the insertion and/or retention of CFTR into the plasma membrane.

Abstract
We investigated the distribution of the endogenous sodium-d-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) in polarized Caco-2 cells, a model for enterocytes. A cellular organelle fraction was separated by free-flow electrophoresis and subjected to the analysis of endogenous and exogenous marker enzymes for various membrane vesicle components. Furthermore, the presence of SGLT1 was tested by an ELISA assay employing newly developed epitope specific antibodies. Thereby it was found that the major amount of SGLT1 resided in intracellular compartments and only a minor amount in apical plasma membranes. The distribution ratio between intracellular SGLT1 and apical membrane-associated SGLT1 was approximately 2:1. Further immunocytochemical investigation of SGLT1 distribution in fixed Caco-2 cells by epifluorescence and confocal microscopy revealed that the intracellular compartments containing SGLT1 were associated with microtubules. Elimination of SGLT1 synthesis by incubation of cells with cycloheximide did not significantly reduce the size of the intracellular SGLT1 pool. Furthermore, the half-life of SGLT1 in Caco-2 cells was determined to be 2.5 days by metabolic labeling followed by immunoprecipitation. Our data suggest that most of the intracellular SGLT1 are not transporters en route from biosynthesis to their cellular destination but represent an intracellular reserve pool. We therefore propose that intracellular compartments containing SGLT1 are involved in the regulation of SGLT1 abundance at the apical cell surface.

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
AIM We compared the distribution and putative association of Cl- channel transport, CFTR mRNA transcripts, and Na+ channel (ENaC) alpha- and beta-subunit mRNA transcripts in villus and crypt epithelial cells of duodenum, with corresponding surface and crypt cells of colon from sodium-depleted rats. METHODS Cells were loaded with 36Cl- and forskolin-stimulated efflux was determined. RT-PCR was performed for CFTR mRNA transcripts and ENaC alpha- and beta-subunit mRNA. Duodenal epithelial cell response to VIP was assessed by measuring intracellular cAMP. RESULTS Forskolin-stimulated Cl- efflux occurred with decreasing magnitude in duodenal crypt, duodenal villus, colonic crypt and colonic surface cells in Na(+)-depleted animals. CFTR expression was correlated directly with Cl- efflux (r=0.91, P<0.01). Na+ channel alpha-subunit was expressed in colon and duodenum in animals fed diets with a high or low sodium content. While the beta-subunit mRNA was detected in the colon of sodium-restricted rats, it was absent in the duodenum under control conditions and after Na+ restriction. There was an inverse correlation between mRNA transcripts for CFTR and the ENaC alpha-subunit (r=-0.93, P<0.003) and beta-subunit (r=-0.91, P<0.004) in colon. VIP-stimulated cAMP in duodenal epithelial cells was greater in crypt than villus (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Cl- efflux, CFTR transcription and forskolin-stimulated cAMP activity occur in both crypt and villus epithelial cells in duodenum. Possible interaction between CFTR and Na+ channels is apparently limited to parts of the colonic crypt. Lack of duodenal beta-subunit expression makes ENaC activity unlikely.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel is regulated by cAMP-dependent vesicle traffic and exocytosis to the apical membrane in some cell types, but this has not been demonstrated in the intestinal crypt. The distribution of CFTR, lactase (control), and fluid secretion were determined in rat jejunum after cAMP activation in the presence of nocodazole and primaquine to disrupt vesicle traffic. CFTR and lactase were localized by immunofluorescence, and surface proteins were detected by biotinylation of enterocytes. Immunoprecipitates from biotinylated and nonbiotinylated cells were analyzed by streptavidin detection and immunoblots. Immunolocalization confirmed a cAMP-dependent shift of CFTR but not lactase from a subapical compartment to the apical surface associated with fluid secretion that was reduced in the presence of primaquine and nocodazole. Analysis of immunoblots from immunoprecipitates after biotinylation revealed a 3.8 +/- 1.7-fold (P < 0.005) increase of surface-exposed CFTR after vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). These measurements provide independent corroboration supporting a role for vesicle traffic in regulating CFTR and cAMP-induced fluid transport in the intestine.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) increases Na+ current derived from the human cardiac Na+ channel, hH1, in a slow, nonsaturable manner. This effect is prevented by compounds that disrupt plasma membrane recycling, implying enhanced trafficking of channels to the cell membrane as the mechanism responsible for Na+ current potentiation. To investigate the molecular basis of this effect, preferred consensus sites (serines 483, 571, and 593) and alternative sites phosphorylated by PKA in the rat heart isoform (serines 525 and 528) were removed in the I-II interdomain linker, a region in the channel previously implicated in the PKA response. Our results demonstrate that the presence of either serine 525 or 528 is required for Na+ current potentiation. The role of amino acid sequences that can mediate channel-protein interactions was also examined. Removal of a PDZ domain-binding motif at the carboxy terminus of hH1 did not alter the PKA response. The I-II interdomain linker of the channel contains 3 sites (479RKR481, 533RRR535, and 659RQR661) with the sequence RXR, a motif known to mediate retention of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The PKA-mediated increase in Na+ current was abolished when all 3 sites were eliminated, with RRR at position 533 to 535 primarily responsible for this effect. These results demonstrate that both alpha-subunit phosphorylation and the presence of putative ER retention signals are required for the PKA-mediated increase in cardiac Na+ current, an effect that likely involves interaction of the I-II interdomain linker with other proteins or regions of the channel.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters located in the hepatocyte canalicular membrane of mammalian liver are critical players in bile formation and detoxification. Although ABC transporters have been well characterized functionally, only recently have several canalicular ABC transporters been cloned and their molecular nature revealed. Subsequently, development of specific antibodies has permitted a detailed investigation of ABC transporter intrahepatic distribution under varying physiological conditions. It is now apparent that there is a complex array of ABC transporters in hepatocytes. ABC transporter molecules reside in intrahepatic compartments and are delivered to the canalicular domain following increased physiological demand to secrete bile. Insufficient amounts of ABC transporters in the bile canalicular membrane result in cholestasis (i.e., bile secretory failure). Therefore, elucidation of the intrahepatic pathways and regulation of ABC transporters may help to understand the cause of cholestasis at a molecular level and provide clues for novel therapies.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been shown previously to be regulated by inhibitory G proteins. In the present study, we demonstrate inhibition of CFTR by alphaG(i2) and alphaG(i1), but not alphaG(0), in Xenopus oocytes. We further examined whether regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins interfere with alphaG(i)-dependent inhibition of CFTR. Activation of CFTR by IBMX and forskolin was attenuated in the presence of alphaG(i2), indicating inhibition of CFTR by alphaG(i2) in Xenopus oocytes. Coexpression of the proteins RGS3 and RGS7 together with CFTR and alphaG(i2) partially recovered activation by IBMX/forskolin. 14-3-3, a protein that is known to interfere with RGS proteins, counteracted the effects of RGS3. These data demonstrate the regulation of CFTR by alphaG(i) in Xenopus oocytes. Because RGS proteins interfere with the G protein-dependent regulation of CFTR, this may offer new potential pathways for pharmacological intervention in cystic fibrosis.

Abstract
ABC transporter trafficking in rat liver induced by cAMP or taurocholate and [(35)S]methionine metabolic labeling followed by subcellular fractionation were used to identify and characterize intrahepatic pools of ABC transporters. ABC transporter trafficking induced by cAMP or taurocholate is a physiologic response to a temporal demand for increased bile secretion. Administration of cAMP or taurocholate to rats increased amounts of SPGP, MDR1, and MDR2 in the bile canalicular membrane by 3-fold; these effects abated after 6 h and were insensitive to prior treatment of rats with cycloheximide. Half-lives of ABC transporters were 5 days, which suggests cycling of ABC transporters between canalicular membrane and intrahepatic sites before degradation. In vivo [(35)S]methionine labeling of rats followed by immunoprecipitation of (sister of P-glycoprotein) (SPGP) from subcellular liver fractions revealed a steady state distribution after 20 h of SPGP between canalicular membrane and a combined endosomal fraction. After mobilization of transporters from intrahepatic sites with cAMP or taurocholate, a significant increase in the amount of ABC transporters in canalicular membrane vesicles was observed, whereas the decrease in the combined endosomal fraction remained below detection limits in Western blots. This observation is in accordance with relatively large intracellular ABC transporter pools compared with the amount present in the bile canalicular membrane. Furthermore, trafficking of newly synthesized SPGP through intrahepatic sites was accelerated by additional administration of cAMP but not by taurocholate, indicating two distinct intrahepatic pools. Our data indicate that ABC transporters cycle between the bile canaliculus and at least two large intrahepatic ABC transporter pools, one of which is mobilized to the canalicular membrane by cAMP and the other, by taurocholate. In parallel to regulation of other membrane transporters, we propose that the "cAMP-pool" in hepatocytes corresponds to a recycling endosome, whereas recruitment from the "taurocholate-pool" involves a hepatocyte-specific mechanism.

Abstract
Inward Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransport has previously been demonstrated in acidified duodenal epithelial cells, but the identity and localization of the mRNAs and proteins involved have not been determined. The molecular expression and localization of Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporters (NBCs) were studied by RT-PCR, sequence analysis, and immunohistochemistry. By fluorescence spectroscopy, the intracellular pH (pH(i)) was recorded in suspensions of isolated murine duodenal epithelial cells loaded with 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Proximal duodenal epithelial cells expressed mRNA encoding two electrogenic NBC1 isoforms and the electroneutral NBCn1. Both NBC1 and NBCn1 were localized to the basolateral membrane of proximal duodenal villus cells, whereas the crypt cells did not label with the anti-NBC antibodies. DIDS or removal of extracellular Cl(-) increased pH(i), whereas an acidification was observed on removal of Na(+) or both Na(+) and Cl(-). The effects of inhibitors and ionic dependence of acid/base transporters were consistent with both inward and outward Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransport. Hence, we propose that NBCs are involved in both basolateral electroneutral HCO(3)(-) transport as well as basolateral electrogenic HCO(3)(-) transport in proximal duodenal villus cells.

Abstract
The pathway of transport of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) through the early exocytic pathway has not been examined. In contrast to most membrane proteins that are concentrated during export from the ER and therefore readily detectable at elevated levels in pre-Golgi intermediates and Golgi compartments, wild-type CFTR could not be detected in these compartments using deconvolution immunofluorescence microscopy. To determine the basis for this unusual feature, we analyzed CFTR localization using quantitative immunoelectron microscopy (IEM). We found that wild-type CFTR is present in pre-Golgi compartments and peripheral tubular elements associated with the cis and trans faces of the Golgi stack, albeit at a concentration 2-fold lower than that found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). delta F508 CFTR, a mutant form that is not efficiently delivered to the cell surface and the most common mutation in cystic fibrosis, could also be detected at a reduced concentration in pre-Golgi intermediates and peripheral cis Golgi elements, but not in post-Golgi compartments. Our results suggest that the low level of wild-type CFTR in the Golgi region reflects a limiting step in selective recruitment by the ER export machinery, an event that is largely deficient in delta F508. We raise the possibility that novel modes of selective anterograde and retrograde traffic between the ER and the Golgi may serve to regulate CFTR function in the early secretory compartments.

Abstract
This review outlines the progress made over the last few years in three chosen areas of intestinal ion transport. In the field of intestinal secretion, research on the secretion of bicarbonate by pancreatic ducts and duodenal epithelia in cystic fibrosis revealed the crucial role of chloride channel (CFTR) in the control of activity of other transporters involved in bicarbonate secretion. In the area of intestinal absorption, studies on the regulation and physiologic roles of epithelial Na(+)/H(+) exchangers confirmed the suspected involvement of recycling in the acute regulation of NHE3 activity and resulted in formulation of new concepts for the roles of NHE3 and NHE2 in the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, the recent discovery of the first known viral enterotoxin revolutionized our understanding of pathomechanisms of secretory diarrhea during viral infections in humans. All of these findings are discussed in the context of their utility to the practicing gastroenterologist.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the ABC transporter encoded by the cystic fibrosis gene, is localized in the apical membrane of epithelial cells where it functions as a cyclic AMP-regulated chloride channel and as a regulator of other ion channels and transporters. Whereas a key role of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation in CFTR-channel gating has been firmly established, more recent studies have provided clear evidence for the existence of a second level of cAMP regulation, i.e. the exocytotic recruitment of CFFR to the plasma membrane and its endocytotic retrieval. Regulated trafficking of the CFTR Cl- channel has sofar been demonstrated only in a subset of CFTR-expressing cell types. However, with the introduction of more sensitive methods to measure CFTR cycling and submembrane localization, it might turn out to be a more general phenomenon that could contribute importantly to both the regulation of CFTR-mediated chloride transport itself and to the regulation of other transporters and CFTR-modulated cellular functions. This review aims to summarize the present state of knowledge regarding polarized and regulated CFTR trafficking and endosomal recycling in epithelial cells, to discuss present gaps in our understanding of these processes at the cellular and molecular level, and to consider its possible implications for cystic fibrosis.
