title: Lack of inhibition by dideoxy-forskolin and verapamil of DIDS-sensitive volume-activated Cl- secretion in human squamous lung carcinoma epithelial cells.
abstract: The effect of osmotic stress on Cl- permeability in human squamous lung carcinoma epithelial (S1) cells was investigated using a macroscopic 125I efflux assay. Hypotonic challenge of monolayers led to a significant (P < 0.01) dose-related increase in efflux from pre-loaded cells, returning to pre-activation rates within 10 min. A similar magnitude of response could be produced by challenge with an isotonic low chloride-containing solution. Neither 100 mM dideoxy-forskolin nor 100 mM verapamil inhibited the increase in Cl- secretion after hypotonic challenge, whereas 100 mM DIDS inhibited volume-activated Cl- secretion by 55%. Both Northern and Western blot analysis confirmed the absence of MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein in the S1 cells. We conclude that these cells have a volume-regulated Cl- secretory pathway that is independent of the ABC transporter, P-glycoprotein.
