title: The phorbol ester PMA and cyclic AMP activate different Cl(-) and HCO3(-) fluxes in C127 cells expressing CFTR.
abstract: In mouse mammary epithelial C127 cells expressing wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), chloride efflux, measured with the Cl(-)-sensitive dye 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium (SPQ), was stimulated by activation of protein kinase A with cyclic AMP elevating agents forskolin plus 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX) and, to a less extent, by activation of protein kinase C with the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Conversely, bicarbonate influx, determined by intracellular alkalinization of cells incubated with the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluoresceintetraacetoxymethyl ester (BCECF-AM), was stimulated by cyclic AMP elevation, but not by PMA. Patch clamp analysis revealed that PMA activated a Cl(-) current with the typical biophysical characteristics of swelling-activated current and not of CFTR.
