Nucleotide release provides a mechanism for airway surface liquid homeostasis.
Nucleotides within the airway surface liquid (ASL) regulate airway epithelial ion transport rates by Ca(2+) -and protein kinase C-dependent mechanisms via activation of specific P2Y receptors. Extracellular adenine nucleotides also serve as precursors for adenosine, which promotes cyclic AMP-mediated activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator chloride channel via A(2b) adenosine ...
متن کاملAirway Surface Liquid
In this issue of The Journal, Jayaraman and colleagues (2001) describe a novel technique to measure the osmo-lality of airway surface liquid (ASL) using fluorophore-encapsulated liposomes. As in a recent paper reporting measurements of ASL depth, salt concentration, and pH (Jayaraman et al., 2001), this group has once again exploited fluorescence microscopy in an innovative fashion to avoid the...
متن کاملCalbindin-D9k Ablation Disrupt Glucose/Pancreatic Insulin Homeostasis
It has been proposed that cellular Ca2+ signals activate hormone secretion. In pancreatic β cells, which produce insulin, Ca2+ signals have been known to contribute to insulin secretion. Prior to this study, we confirmed that insulin-secreting β cells express CaBP-9k, and assumed that CaBP-9k play a role in β cell insulin synthesis or secretion. Using CaBP-9k knock out (KO) mice, we demonstrate...
متن کاملSoluble Mediators, Not Cilia, Determine Airway Surface Liquid Volume in Normal and Cystic Fibrosis Superficial Airway Epithelia
A key aspect of the lung's innate defense system is the ability of the superficial epithelium to regulate airway surface liquid (ASL) volume to maintain a 7-mum periciliary liquid layer (PCL), which is required for cilia to beat and produce mucus flow. The mechanisms whereby airway epithelia regulate ASL height to >or=7 microm are poorly understood. Using bumetanide as an inhibitor of Cl- secre...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of the airway surface liquid: modulation by proinflammatory cytokines.
The airway surface is covered by a fluid, the airway surface liquid, interposed between the mucous layer and the epithelium. The airway surface liquid contains proteins, secreted by different cell types, that may have pro-/anti-inflammatory or bactericidal functions or have a role in the mucociliary clearance. We have used a proteomics approach to identify the proteins secreted by an isolated i...
