| Abstract | We used the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system to characterize adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). With conventional two-microelectrode voltage-clamp techniques, we recorded transmembrane conductance (G m) and membrane current (I m). Using five different sine wave frequencies, we also monitored changes of the plasma membrane surface area by recording continuously membrane capacitance (C m) under voltage-clamp conditions. Impedance spectra recorded in the frequency range 0.1–500 Hz showed that, at least up to 200 Hz, C m is independent of the frequency. In control oocytes, cAMP (100 µM) treatment did not affect G m or I m but evoked a small, slowly occurring increase in C m, probably mediated by cAMP-stimulated exocytosis. However, in oocytes expressing CFTR, large simultaneous increases of G m, I m and C m occurred after stimulation with cAMP. Oocytes injected with the ΔF508 CFTR mutant behaved like control oocytes and cAMP had no additional effects on G m, I m or C m. In oocytes injected with wild-type CFTR, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP, 100 µM) did not activate the cAMP-induced augmentation of I m, G m or C m further. On the other hand, cAMP-induced increases in C m were reduced significantly by the specific blockers of protein kinase A (PKA) KT5720 and N-[2-(methylamino-9-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide hydrochloride (H8), whereas the increases in G m and I m were essentially unaffected by these agents. Reducing intracellular Ca2+ by injection of a Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis (2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) prevented PKA-dependent exocytosis while activation of I m and G m of already-inserted CFTR still could be detected. The specific cAMP antagonist adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate Rp diastereomer (RpcAMPS) completely suppressed the effects of cAMP on all parameters. These findings are consistent with the concept of different pathways of CFTR activation by cAMP: already-inserted CFTR Cl– channels are activated directly by cAMP, while traffic of CFTR proteins from an intracellular pool to the plasma membrane and functional insertion into the plasma membrane occurs via cAMP- and Ca2+-dependent PKA-mediated exocytosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
