Cl- absorption across the thick ascending limb is not altered in cystic fibrosis mice. A role for a pseudo-CFTR Cl- channel.

Abstract: The cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL) absorbs Cl Ϫ via a Na ϩ -K ϩ -Cl Ϫ cotransport at the apical membrane and several Cl Ϫ channels at the basolateral membrane, including a 9-pS channel having several properties of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Having checked that CFTR mRNA is present in the mouse CTAL, we investigated whether this channel is a CFTR molecule by applying the patch-clamp technique to CTALs microdissected from CFTR knockout mice ( cftr m1Unc ).

“…As observed in previous experiments on small-conductance Cl Ϫ channels (8,22,24), the closed current level was not usually visible because of the high number of channels per patch and the slow kinetics of the channel (22). The closed current level was estimated by inhibiting Cl Ϫ channel activity, taking advantage of the fact that this channel is inhibited by an acidic intracellular pH (pHi).…”
