Abstract: | Conditioned culture media taken from fibroblast cell lines derived from skin biopsies of control or of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) were incubated with membranes of rat submandibular glands. The Na/K - ATPase activity of these membranes was inhibited when treated with CF-media, including both ouabain sensitive and insensitive activities. However, the membrane associated Mg-ATPase, Ca-ATPase, and both basal and hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were relatively unaffected. Thus, a factor or factors produced by CF-fibroblasts was shown to be active in a cell-free system derived from an exocrine gland. |
