The response of chloride transport to cyclic AMP, calcium and hypotonic shock in normal and cystic fibrosis fibroblasts.

Abstract:

:It has widely been established that Cl- transport is defective in cystic fibrosis fibroblasts. In the present study, the effect of elevation of intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP and calcium on the efflux of Cl- from human fibroblasts has been investigated. Cyclic AMP analogs (8-bromo cAMP and dibutyryl cAMP) and a beta agonist (isoproterenol) induced only a weak stimulation (5-10%) of Cl- efflux. Conversely, elevation of cytoplasmic calcium concentration produced by addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 in the efflux medium, did not affect Cl- efflux. Our data indicate that the response of Cl- efflux to elevation of cAMP and calcium is similar in normal and cystic fibrosis fibroblasts. Exposure to hypotonic medium induced a significant stimulation of Cl- efflux in fibroblasts from both normal and cystic fibrosis individuals. Substitution of Cl- in the medium by gluconate and the subsequent addition of furosemide did not inhibit the effect of hypotonicity, indicating the involvement of a conductive pathway for Cl- transport, which was insensitive to oligomicin C.

  • Gluten exorphin B5 stimulates prolactin secretion through opioid receptors located outside the blood-brain barrier.

    abstract::Gluten exorphin B5 (GE-B5) is a food-derived opioid peptide identified in digests of wheat gluten. We have recently shown that GE-B5 stimulates prolactin (PRL) secretion in rats; this effect is abolished by preadministration of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone. However, since the structure of naloxone allows it...
