Evidence for direct CFTR inhibition by CFTRinh-172 based on Arg347 mutagenesis

Abstract: CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) is an epithelial Cl- channel inhibited with high affinity and selectivity by the thiazolidinone compound CFTR(inh)-172. In the present study, we provide evidence that CFTR(inh)-172 acts directly on the CFTR. We introduced mutations in amino acid residues of the sixth transmembrane helix of the CFTR protein, a domain that has an important role in the formation of the channel pore. Basic and hydrophilic amino acids at positions 334-352 were replaced with… Show more

“…At the end of each experiment (Fig. 2, A-C), we added CFTR inh -172 (10 M), a selective CFTR inhibitor (Caci et al, 2008). This compound returned transepithelial current to values close to zero, thus indicating that forskolin-and potentiator-activated currents depended on CFTR activity.…”

“…CFTR activity was determined in transiently transfected COS-7 cells with use of the halide-sensitive yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-H148Q/I152L (Galietta et al, 2001a) as also described previously (Caci et al, 2008). Cells were plated in 96-well microplates (25,000 cells/well) in 100 l of antibiotic-free culture medium and, after 6 h, cotransfected with plasmids carrying the coding sequence for CFTR and the halide-sensitive YFP.…”

“…CFTRinh-172 alters CFTR gating by voltage-independent binding to a cytoplasmic nucleotide binding domain (39) or, according to more recent evidence, by direct pore interaction (2). CFTRinh-172 inhibition of CFTR may alter direct or indirect interactions between CFTR and Slc26-like anion exchangers.…”

“…The amplitudes of the CFTR currents were obtained from the total current blocked by the specific CFTR inhibitor CFTR inh -172. 31 The best clone, FRTcl7, responded to the cAMP agonist with a short-circuit current increase of ca. 18 mA cm À2 ( Figure 6).…”
