cAMP-dependent activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) regulates fluid transport in many tissues. Secretion by the corneal endothelium is stimulated by cAMP and dependent on HCO(3)(-). We asked whether HCO(3)(-) can secondarily increase CFTR permeability in bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCEC) by activating soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC). Immunofluorescence suggests that sAC is distributed throughout the cytoplasm. HCO(3)(-) (40 mM) increased cAMP concentration 42% in the presence of 50 microM rolipram (a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor), and a standard HCO(3)(-) Ringer solution (28.5 mM) increased apical Cl(-) permeability by 78% relative to HCO(3)(-)-free solution. The HCO(3)(-)-dependent increase in Cl(-) permeability was reduced 60% by 20 mM NaHSO(3) (a weak agonist of sAC). NaHSO(3) alone increased apical Cl(-) permeability by only 13%. The HCO(3)(-)-dependent increase in Cl(-) permeability was reduced 57% in the presence of 50 microM Rp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate, and 86% by 50 microM 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropyl-amino)benzoic acid but unaffected by 200 microM apical H(2)DIDS. CFTR phosphorylation was increased 23, 150, and 32% by 20 mM HSO(3)(-), 28.5 mM HCO(3)(-), and 28.5 mM HCO(3)(-) + 20 mM HSO(3)(-), respectively. Activation of apical Cl(-) permeability by 5 microM genistein was increased synergistically by HCO(3)(-) over that due to genistein and HCO(3)(-) alone. We conclude that HCO(3)(-)-stimulated sAC is a form of autocrine signaling that contributes to baseline cAMP production, thereby affecting baseline CFTR activity in BCEC. This form of autocrine signaling may be important in tissues that express sAC and exhibit robust HCO(3)(-) influx (e.g., ocular ciliary epithelium, choroid plexus, and airway epithelium). 相似文献

In postnatal testes, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on somatic Sertoli cells to activate gene expression directly via an intracellular signaling pathway composed of cAMP, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), and promotes germ cell development indirectly. Yet, the paracrine factors mediating the FSH effects to germ cells remained elusive. Here we show that nociceptin, known as a neuropeptide, is upregulated by FSH through cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway in Sertoli cells in murine testes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation from Sertoli cells shows that CREB phosphorylated at Ser133 associates with prepronociceptin gene encoding nociceptin. Analyses with Sertoli cells and testes demonstrates that both prepronociceptin mRNA and the nociceptin peptide are induced after FSH signaling is activated. In addition, the nociceptin peptide is induced in testes after 9days post partum following FSH surge. Thus, our findings may identify nociceptin as a novel paracrine mediator of the FSH effects in the regulation of spermatogenesis. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that encodes a small conductance cAMP-activated chloride ion channel. In the CF pancreatic duct, mutations in CFTR cause a reduction in bicarbonate secretion. This is thought to result from CFTR operating in parallel with a chloride-bicarbonate (Cl(-)/HCO(-)(3)) exchanger, located in the apical membrane of pancreatic duct cells. The molecular basis of this Cl(-)/HCO(-)(3) exchanger has not been identified. A combination of screening cDNA libraries, RNase protection, and 5' RACE analysis was used to identify Cl(-)/HCO(-)(3) exchangers in human fetal pancreas. An AE2 Cl(-)/HCO(-)(3) exchanger was shown to be expressed in human fetal pancreas from the midtrimester of gestation, at a time when CF-associated pathology commences. In addition, an AE1 Cl(-)/HCO(3) was identified in fetal pancreas but was absent from the adult pancreas and cultured ductal epithelial cells from fetal and adult pancreas. 相似文献

The hypoxic microenvironment of cryptorchidism is an important factor in the impairment and fibrosis of Sertoli cells which result in blood-testis barrier (BTB) destruction and spermatogenesis loss. Recent studies have shown that melatonin, a well-known pineal hormone exerts beneficial effects against pathological fibrosis in a various of organs. However, it is still unknown whether melatonin can regulate hypoxia-induced fibrosis of Sertoli cells. In this study we evaluate melatonin levels, and its synthesizing enzymes, AANAT and HIOMT expression patterns in canine cryptorchidism and contralateral normal testis. Results show abdominal testes presented low melatonin levels and AANAT and HIOMT expression compared with testes located in the scrotum. Moreover, we established a hypoxia-induced fibrosis model in canine Sertoli cells induced by cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and found that melatonin inhibited the EMT markers expression and ECM production as well as Hif-1α expression of Sertoli cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, use of Lificiguat (synonyms YC-1, Hif-1α inhibitor) to interfere with the Hif-1α pathway showed a similar effect with melatonin suppression of the fibrosis in Sertoli cells. The results indicate that melatonin supplementation can alleviate the fibrosis process of Sertoli cells caused by hypoxia, which is associated with regulating the inhibition of Hif-1α signaling. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP produced from membrane receptor complex bound adenylyl cyclases is protective in corneal endothelial cells (CEC). CEC also express soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), which is localized throughout the cytoplasm. When activated by HCO(3)(-), cAMP concentration ([cAMP]) increases by ~50%. Here we ask if cAMP produced from sAC is also protective. We examined the effects of HCO(3)(-), pH, phosphodiesterase 4 inhibition by rolipram, sAC inhibition by 2HE (2-hydroxyestradiol), and sAC small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown on basal and staurosporine-mediated apoptosis. HCO(3)(-) (40 mM) or 50 μM rolipram raised [cAMP] to similar levels and protected endothelial cells by 50% relative to a HCO(3)(-)-free control, whereas 2HE, which decreased [cAMP] by 40%, and H89 (PKA inhibitor) doubled the apoptotic rate. sAC expression was reduced by two-thirds in the absence of HCO(3)(-) and was reduced to 15% of control by sAC siRNA. Protection by HCO(3)(-) was eliminated in siRNA-treated cells. Similarly, caspase-3 activity and cytochrome c release were reduced by HCO(3)(-) and enhanced by 2HE or siRNA. Analysis of percent annexin V+ cells as a function of [cAMP] revealed an inverse, nonlinear relation, suggesting a protective threshold [cAMP] of 10 pmol/mg protein. Relative levels of phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein and phosphorylated Bcl-2 were decreased in CEC treated with 2HE or siRNA, suggesting that HCO(3)(-)-dependent endogenous sAC activity can mobilize antiapoptotic signal transduction. Overall, our data suggest a new role for sAC in endogenous cellular protection. 相似文献

Background
Bicarbonate activated Soluble Adenylyl Cyclase (sAC) is a unique cytoplasmic and nuclear signaling mechanism for the generation of cAMP. HCO3 - activates sAC in bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs), increasing [cAMP] and stimulating PKA, leading to phosphorylation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator (CFTR) and increased apical Cl- permeability. Here, we examined whether HCO3 - may also regulate the expression of sAC and thereby affect the production of cAMP upon activation by HCO3 - and the stimulation of CFTR in BCECs. 相似文献10.

The pancreatic duct expresses cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and HCO3- secretory and salvage mechanisms in the luminal membrane. Although CFTR plays a prominent role in HCO3- secretion, the role of CFTR in HCO3- salvage is not known. In the present work, we used molecular, biochemical, and functional approaches to study the regulatory interaction between CFTR and the HCO3- salvage mechanism Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) in heterologous expression systems and in the native pancreatic duct. We found that CFTR regulates NHE3 activity by both acute and chronic mechanisms. In the pancreatic duct, CFTR increases expression of NHE3 in the luminal membrane. Thus, luminal expression of NHE3 was reduced by 53% in ducts of homozygote DeltaF508 mice. Accordingly, luminal Na+-dependent and HOE694- sensitive recovery from an acid load was reduced by 60% in ducts of DeltaF508 mice. CFTR and NHE3 were co-immunoprecipitated from PS120 cells expressing both proteins and the pancreatic duct of wild type mice but not from PS120 cells lacking CFTR or the pancreas of DeltaF508 mice. The interaction between CFTR and NHE3 required the COOH-terminal PDZ binding motif of CFTR, and mutant CFTR proteins lacking the C terminus were not co-immunoprecipitated with NHE3. Furthermore, when expressed in PS120 cells, wild type CFTR, but not CFTR mutants lacking the C-terminal PDZ binding motif, augmented cAMP-dependent inhibition of NHE3 activity by 31%. These findings reveal that CFTR controls overall HCO3- homeostasis by regulating both pancreatic ductal HCO3- secretory and salvage mechanisms. 相似文献

Ciliated airway epithelial cells are subject to sustained changes in intracellular CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) during exacerbations of airway diseases, but the role of CO(2)/HCO(3)(-)-sensitive soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in ciliary beat regulation is unknown. We now show not only sAC expression in human airway epithelia (by RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence) but also its specific localization to the axoneme (Western blotting and immunofluorescence). Real time estimations of [cAMP] changes in ciliated cells, using FRET between fluorescently tagged PKA subunits (expressed under the foxj1 promoter solely in ciliated cells), revealed CO(2)/HCO(3)(-)-mediated cAMP production. This cAMP production was specifically blocked by sAC inhibitors but not by transmembrane adenylyl cyclase (tmAC) inhibitors. In addition, this cAMP production stimulated ciliary beat frequency (CBF) independently of intracellular pH because PKA and sAC inhibitors were uniquely able to block CO(2)/HCO(3)(-)-mediated changes in CBF (while tmAC inhibitors had no effect). Thus, sAC is localized to motile airway cilia and it contributes to the regulation of human airway CBF. In addition, CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) increases indeed reversibly stimulate intracellular cAMP production by sAC in intact cells. 相似文献

The mechanism of the pancreatic ductal HCO secretion defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) is not well defined. However, a lack of apical Cl(-)/HCO exchange may exist in CF. To test this hypothesis, we examined the expression of Cl(-)/HCO exchangers in cultured pancreatic duct epithelial cells with physiological features prototypical of CF [CFPAC-1 cells lacking a functional CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)] or normal duct cells (CFPAC-1 cells transfected with functional wild-type CFTR, CFPAC-WT). Cl(-)/HCO exchange activity, assayed with the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein in cells grown on coverslips, increased about twofold in cells transfected with functional CFTR. This correlated with increased apical (36)Cl influx in cells expressing functional CFTR and grown on permeable support. Northern hybridizations indicated the induction of downregulated in adenoma (DRA) in cells expressing functional CFTR. The expression of putative anion transporter PAT1 also increased significantly in cells expressing functional CFTR. DRA was detected at high levels in native mouse pancreas by Northern hybridization and localized to the apical domain of the duct cells by immunohistochemical studies. In conclusion, CFTR upregulates DRA and PAT1 expression in cultured pancreatic duct cells. We propose that the pancreatic HCO secretion defect in CF patients is partly due to the downregulation of apical Cl(-)/HCO exchange activity mediated by DRA (and possibly PAT1). 相似文献

High incidence of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is associated with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and is considered as the genital form of cystic fibrosis (CF). The CFTR gene may also be involved in the etiology of male infertility in cases other than CBAVD. The present study was conducted to identify the spectrum and frequency of CFTR gene mutations in infertile Indian males with non-CBAVD obstructive azoospermia (n = 60) and spermatogenic failure (n = 150). Conspicuously higher frequency of heterozygote F508del mutation was detected in infertile males with non-CBAVD obstructive azoospermia (11.6%) and spermatogenic failure (7.3%). Homozygous IVS(8)-5T allele frequency was also significantly higher in both groups in comparison to those in normal healthy individuals. Two mutations in exon 25 viz., R1358I and K1351R were identified as novel mutations in patients with non-CBAVD obstructive azoospermia. Mutation R1358I was predicted as probably damaging CFTR mutation. This is the first report from the Indian population, emphasizing increased frequency of CFTR gene mutations in male infertility other than CBAVD. Thus, it is suggested that screening of CFTR gene mutations may be required in infertile Indian males with other forms of infertility apart from CBAVD and willing for assisted reproduction technology. 相似文献

We have demonstrated previously the regulation of Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in model systems of cells stably or transiently transfected with CFTR (Lee, M. G., Wigley, W. C., Zeng, W., Noel, L. E., Marino, C. R., Thomas, P. J., and Muallem, S. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 3414-3421). In the present work we examine the significance of this regulation in cells naturally expressing CFTR. These include the human colonic T84 cell line and the mouse submandibular gland and pancreatic ducts, tissues that express high levels of CFTR in the luminal membrane. As in heterologous expression systems, stimulation of T84 cells with forskolin increased the Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity independently of CFTR Cl- channel activity. Freshly isolated submandibular gland ducts from wild type mice showed variable Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity. Measurement of [Cl-]i revealed that this was largely the result of variable steady-state [Cl-]i. Membrane depolarization with 5 mM Ba2+ or 100 mM K+ increased and stabilized [Cl-]i. Under depolarized conditions wild type and DeltaF/DeltaF mice had comparable basal Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity. Notably, stimulation with forskolin increased Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity in submandibular gland ducts from wild type but not DeltaF/DeltaF mice. Microperfusion of the main pancreatic duct showed Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity in both the basolateral and luminal membranes. Stimulation of ducts from wild type animals with forskolin had no effect on basolateral but markedly stimulated luminal Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity. By contrast, forskolin had no effect on either basolateral or luminal Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity of ducts from DeltaF/DeltaF animals. We conclude that CFTR regulates luminal Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity in CFTR-expressing cells, and we discuss the possible physiological significance of these findings regarding cystic fibrosis. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones involved in protein folding, assembly and transport, and which play critical roles in the regulation of cell growth, survival and differentiation. We set out to test the hypothesis that HSP27 protein is expressed in the human testes and its expression varies with the state of spermatogenesis. HSP27 expression was examined in 30 human testicular biopsy specimens (normal spermatogenesis, maturation arrest and Sertoli cell only syndrome, 10 cases each) using immunofluorescent methods. The biopsies were obtained from patients undergoing investigations for infertility. The seminiferous epithelium of the human testes showing normal spermatogenesis had a cell type-specific expression of HSP27. HSP27 expression was strong in the cytoplasm of the Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, and Leydig cells. Alternatively, the expression was moderate in the spermatocytes, weak in the spermatids and absent in the spermatozoa. In testes showing maturation arrest, HSP27 expression was strong in the Sertoli cells, weak in the spermatogonia, and spermatocytes. It was absent in the spermatids and Leydig cells. In Sertoli cell only syndrome, HSP27 expression was strong in the Sertoli cells and absent in the Leydig cells. We report for the first time the expression patterns of HSP27 in the human testes and show differential expression during normal spermatogenesis, indicating a possible role in this process. The altered expression of this protein in testes showing abnormal spermatogenesis may be related to the pathogenesis of male infertility. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal inherited disease caused by the absence or dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel. About 70% of CF patients are exocrine pancreatic insufficient due to failure of the pancreatic ducts to secrete a HCO3- -rich fluid. Our aim in this study was to investigate the potential of a recombinant Sendai virus (SeV) vector to introduce normal CFTR into human CF pancreatic duct (CFPAC-1) cells, and to assess the effect of CFTR gene transfer on the key transporters involved in HCO3- transport. Using polarized cultures of homozygous F508del CFPAC-1 cells as a model for the human CF pancreatic ductal epithelium we showed that SeV was an efficient gene transfer agent when applied to the apical membrane. The presence of functional CFTR was confirmed using iodide efflux assay. CFTR expression had no effect on cell growth, monolayer integrity, and mRNA levels for key transporters in the duct cell (pNBC, AE2, NHE2, NHE3, DRA, and PAT-1), but did upregulate the activity of apical Cl-/HCO3- and Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs). In CFTR-corrected cells, apical Cl-/HCO3- exchange activity was further enhanced by cAMP, a key feature exhibited by normal pancreatic duct cells. The cAMP stimulated Cl-/HCO3- exchange was inhibited by dihydro-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (H2-DIDS), but not by a specific CFTR inhibitor, CFTR(inh)-172. Our data show that SeV vector is a potential CFTR gene transfer agent for human pancreatic duct cells and that expression of CFTR in CF cells is associated with a restoration of Cl- and HCO3- transport at the apical membrane. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) regulates both HCO(3)(-) secretion and HCO(3)(-) salvage in secretory epithelia. At least two luminal transporters mediate HCO(3)(-) salvage, the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE3) and the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransport (NBC3). In a previous work, we show that CFTR interacts with NHE3 to regulate its activity (Ahn, W., Kim, K. W., Lee, J. A., Kim, J. Y., Choi, J. Y., Moe, O. M., Milgram, S. L., Muallem, S., and Lee, M. G. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 17236-17243). In this work, we report that transient or stable expression of human NBC3 (hNBC3) in HEK cells resulted in a Na(+)-dependent, DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid)- and 5-ethylisopropylamiloride-insensitive HCO(3)(-) transport. Stimulation of CFTR with forskolin markedly inhibited NBC3 activity. This inhibition was prevented by the inhibition of protein kinase A. NBC3 and CFTR could be reciprocally coimmunoprecipitated from transfected HEK cells and from the native pancreas and submandibular and parotid glands. Precipitation of NBC3 or CFTR from transfected HEK293 cells and from the pancreas and submandibular gland also coimmunoprecipitated EBP50. Glutathione S-transferase-EBP50 pulled down CFTR and hNBC3 from cell lysates when expressed individually and as a complex when expressed together. Notably, the deletion of the C-terminal PDZ binding motifs of CFTR or hNBC3 prevented coimmunoprecipitation of the proteins and inhibition of hNBC3 activity by CFTR. We conclude that CFTR and NBC3 reside in the same HCO(3)(-)-transporting complex with the aid of PDZ domain-containing scaffolds, and this interaction is essential for regulation of NBC3 activity by CFTR. Furthermore, these findings add additional evidence for the suggestion that CFTR regulates the overall trans-cellular HCO(3)(-) transport by regulating the activity of all luminal HCO(3)(-) secretion and salvage mechanisms of secretory epithelial cells. 相似文献
