title: Activation of CFTR Cl(-) channel by tyrphostins via a protein tyrosine kinase-independent pathway in forskolin-stimulated renal epithelial A6 cells.
abstract: We studied effects of tyrphostin A23 (an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase; PTK) and tyrphostin A63 (an inactive analog of tyrphostin A23) on forskolin-activated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channels and Cl(-) secretion in renal epithelial A6 cells. Tyrphostin A23 and A63 had no effects on the basal CFTR Cl(-) channel and Cl(-) secretion. However, under the forskolin-stimulated condition, tyrphostin A23 and A63 stimulated Cl(-) secretion by activating CFTR Cl(-) channels. These observations suggest that: 1) tyrphostin A23 and A63 stimulate the cAMP-activated CFTR Cl(-) channel via a PTK-independent, structure-dependent mechanism, and 2) tyrphostin A23 and A63 do not stimulate the basal CFTR Cl(-) channel. These lead us to an idea that: 1) cAMP might cause a conformational change of CFTR Cl(-) channel which is accessible by tyrphostins, and 2) tyrphostins would stimulate translocation of the cAMP-modified channel to the apical membrane by binding to the channel.
